VIDEOZAPIS koji se ovih dana širi društvenim mrežama rastopio je srca tisuća ljudi. U njemu vidimo psa koji se ne odvaja od svoje najbolje prijateljice – mačke. Njihova međusobna nježnost i privrženost jednostavno su neodoljivi.
U snimci se vidi kako pas svojim šapama nježno dodiruje mačku dok se ona bezbrižno prepušta toj pažnji. Korisnici interneta oduševljeni su prizorom. Jedan od komentara glasi: “Bože moj, ovo je najslađe što sam ikada vidio. Pas mazi mačku”. Drugi se pak našalio: “Odmah idem svom psu nabaviti mačku”.
Iako ovakvo prijateljstvo između psa i mačke djeluje kao iz bajke, važno je znati da ono ne dolazi uvijek spontano. Ako razmišljate o tome da svom ljubimcu dovedete novog dlakavog prijatelja, postoji nekoliko koraka koje treba slijediti.
Prvi susret traži strpljenje i pripremu
Prije nego što se pas i mačka upoznaju, preporučuje se da svaki ljubimac ima svoj prostor – krevet, zdjelice za hranu i vodu te, u slučaju mačke, posudu s pijeskom. Na taj način osjećat će se sigurnije.

Također je korisno provesti razmjenu mirisa. Primjerice, komad tkanine koji je bio u kontaktu s mačkom stavite u pseći prostor za odmor i obrnuto. Time se ljubimci mogu postupno naviknuti na prisutnost onog drugog.
Kod prvog susreta poželjno je da uz vas bude još jedna osoba – neka jedna osoba drži psa na povodcu, a druga mačku na rukama ili na uzici. Ako su smireni, dopustite im da se pomirišu. Nagradite ih poslasticama i pohvalite. Ako dođe do lajanja ili režanja, prekinite susret i pokušajte ponovno kasnije.
Polako i pod nadzorom
Kako bi se među ljubimcima razvilo povjerenje, susrete treba postepeno produživati, uvijek uz nadzor. Mačka mora imati mogućnost povlačenja ako se osjeća ugroženo.
Dobro je znati i da neka skloništa za životinje imaju mačke koje su već živjele s psima, što znatno olakšava njihovu međusobnu prilagodbu. Tako je manja vjerojatnost da će doći do sukoba, a veća šansa za skladan suživot i prijateljstvo.

NAKON uspješne suradnje prošlog mjeseca, JJJJound i PUMA ponovno udružuju snage, ovog puta za novu verziju kultnog Mostro OG modela u sklopu kolekcionarskog izdanja za proljeće/ljeto 2026.
Nova verzija tenisica dolazi u elegantnoj tamnozelenoj nijansi, s gornjim dijelom od brušene kože koje odiše profinjenošću i minimalizmom, što je estetika po kojoj je JJJJound studio poznat.
“Preslatke su, trebam ih”
Tenisice zadržavaju prepoznatljivu siluetu Mostra, ali ovaj put s nekoliko ključnih noviteta koje uključuju kožni jezik, bijelu liniju na bočnim panelima i brendirane uloške. Svi ovi elementi ove tenisice čine suvremenim, ali i nostalgičnim, a JJJJound ih je već predstavio na svojem Instagramu u kojoj su otkrili da su tenisice dio kolekcije za proljeće/ljeto 2026.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Prekrasne su”, “Želim par”, “Preslatke su, trebam ih”, “Zelena je ludilo”, “Konačno”, “Odlične za penjanje”, glase neki od komentara na objavu.
Za razliku od prethodnih izdanja, ove tenisice koriste čičak-trake sa srebrnim metalnim detaljima za dodatnu udobnost i funkcionalnost. Cijeli dizajn zaokružuje potplat u istoj tamnozelenoj boji s karakterističnim šiljastim uzorkom, što ovom modelu daje dozu sportske dinamike i futurističkog dojma.
Iako točan datum izlaska i cijena još nisu potvrđeni, zna se da će model biti dostupan putem PUMA-ine mreže maloprodajnih partnera.

Tech giant Samsung is all geared up to host its Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9, and fresh leaks have offered a detailed preview of what to expect from its next-generation foldable smartphones.
According to information published by trusted tipster Roland Quandt via WinFuture, Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and a more affordable variant, the Z Flip 7 FE.
The leaks hint at key specifications including screen sizes, battery capacities, and storage options, giving fans and industry watchers an early look at what is coming.
Galaxy Z Fold 7
As per Quandt, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to feature notable design improvements, making it thinner and lighter than its predecessor. When unfolded, it reportedly measures just 4.2mm in thickness and 8.9mm when folded, putting it on par with some of the thinnest foldables on the market such as the Oppo Find N5. At just 216 grams, it could become the lightest book-style foldable yet.
Samsung appears to have increased the screen sizes on both fronts, with a 6.5-inch outer display and an 8-inch inner screen. Despite these changes, the Fold 7 is tipped to retain a 4,400mAh battery. Powering the device will be Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, with storage variants expected in 256GB and 512GB, while some markets may also receive a 1TB option. A 200MP main camera is also mentioned, though other camera details remain under wraps. The Fold 7 is set to launch in black, blue, and silver colour options.
Galaxy Z Flip 7
Samsung’s clamshell foldable, the Z Flip 7, is also expected to receive meaningful upgrades. The most visible change is a significantly larger 4.1-inch cover screen that wraps around the dual-camera lenses, a design already seen in leaks and hands-on videos, and reminiscent of Motorola’s Razr series.
The Flip 7 is said to feature a 4,300mAh battery, one of the largest in any Flip model to date, while being thinner overall. Like the Fold, it will reportedly offer 256GB and 512GB storage options, with a 50MP primary camera. Colour variants are likely to match those of the Fold 7.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE
Samsung is also tipped to introduce a new Fan Edition model, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Targeted at more cost-conscious users, this variant is expected to scale back some specifications, including storage (available in 128GB and 256GB) and battery capacity, which stands at 4,000mAh.
Interestingly, despite its budget positioning, the Flip 7 FE may feature the same wraparound external screen as the standard Flip 7, contradicting earlier reports that hinted at a reused Flip 6 design. The FE model is likely to debut in just two colours, black and white.
Galaxy Watch 8 series
In addition to the foldables, Quandt also shared what appear to be official marketing images of the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic. Both models adopt a squircle-shaped design first seen in the Galaxy Watch Ultra, pointing to a more unified design language across Samsung’s wearable lineup.
“The Wonderment Tour is dedicated to those who cherish the experience of live music and the profound immersion it offers,” said Rahman. “I aspire to merge tradition with innovation, bridging the past and the future in a grand celebration of music.”
The concert is being presented by Hyderabad Talkies, in association with EVA Live, and in partnership with Xora.
Deepak Chaudhary, founder and managing director of EVA Live, said, “We are thrilled to associate with A R Rahman and Hyderabad Talkies. This collaboration embodies our vision of creating unforgettable moments that redefine live concert experiences.”
General ticket sales will open on July 14 via the District app by Zomato.
Even though foreign funds have joint venture with Indian AMCs, it cannot outsource its advisory service to the Indian arm due to SEBI regulations

Capital markets regulator SEBI plans to allow asset management companies to provide advisory services to pooled non-broad based funds to expand their business opportunities. This move will allow Indian AMCs to advise foreign funds interested in investing in India, according to a consultation paper released by the regulator on Monday.
Even though foreign funds have joint venture with Indian AMCs, it cannot outsource its advisory service to the Indian arm due to SEBI regulations. Currently, AMCs are restricted to manage funds of only ‘broad based’ entities with at least 20 investors and no single investor accounting for over 25 per cent of the corpus of the fund.
Level playing field
Additionally, the regulations restrict AMC to undertake certain other activities such as providing services to non-broad based funds. However, such services were provided through the portfolio management service license, distributing financial products and sharing of resources across various functions.
Over the years, several AMCs have highlighted that the broad basing requirement for managing funds has proven to be a barrier and does not provide level playing field to AMCs compared to other intermediaries engaged in providing advisory services to non-broad based funds.
While AMCs can provide portfolio management and advisory services through a separate unit, very few AMC have taken that route due to high cost of hiring a separate infrastructure and advisory team.
During discussions, the industry also highlighted that there are opportunities related to management and advisory of pooled assets where it has the domain expertise. However, restrictions due to the broad basing criteria do not permit AMCs to take up such mandates, said SEBI.
AMFI has also represented that AMCs may be facilitated to expand their business opportunities by relaxing the broad basing requirement.
Subsequently, SEBI has issued a consultation paper to review and consider relaxing the broad basing requirement and permitting AMCs to serve pooled non-broad based funds, subject to strong governance and regulatory controls to address concerns related to conflicts of interest situations.
Investors can share their views on the consultation paper by July 28, it said.
Safeguarding investors
To ensure the interest of MF investors, SEBI has proposed that AMCs may be required to ensure that the resources dedicated to pooled non-broad based funds should be proportionate to the fee earned by AMC from such funds and fees from investors in mutual fund schemes and that mutual fund investors are not made to bear the cost of servicing mandates for pooled non-broad based funds.
SEBI has also proposed to cap the fees charged to non-broad based funds and restrict the performance linked fees. AMCs should also disclose the performance of pooled non-broad based funds compared to mutual fund schemes on a half yearly basis to all investors.
The key personnel involved in investment decision-making, back office operations or fund management, including fund managers for pooled non-broad based funds need to be segregated, it said.
To address the issue of front running by pooled non-broad based funds, AMCs have to follow the current rules on the principle of fair and equitable treatment besides following the current norms on Prohibition of Insider Trading.
Additionally, SEBI said the information used for the advantage of pooled non-broad based fund should not put mutual fund investors at any disadvantage.
I will never understand the allure of the fat French fry. Steak fries are contemptible. Wedges of bland starch with no crunch, like a mouthful of molded mashed potatoes. There is no amount of ketchup, ranch or aioli that can save thick fries from the lower depths of tuber hell. Just order a baked potato and be done with it.
Curly fries, when done correctly, are crisp through each coil. I’m never mad at a waffle fry.

The skinny fry has the potential to be a spud revelation. It’s texturally superior to a wedge, with a more even ratio of crunch to fluff. Three skinny fries clumped together and dunked into your favorite condiment will always hit. A single fat fry could never.
For a long time, I held the firm belief that Chateau Marmont was home to the greatest French fries in all the land. They’re served in a decorative silver cylinder meant to elevate, at least via the presentation, the humblest of hamburger sidekicks. The mountain of fries exudes an air of luxury, threatening to spill from the top, showered in Parmesan cheese and smelling vaguely of truffles. Truffle Parmesan fries ($17) in the sceniest of sceney Los Angeles hotels? I can feel you seething as I type this. I can hear the guffaw of annoyance that just escaped your mouth. I know — people feel strongly about French fries.
After years of pawing through orders of fries at Heavy Handed, République and a handful of other places around town, I no longer believe they are the best fries in Los Angeles, but they continue to hover near the top, made even more enjoyable with an ice-cold martini. They are worth enduring the slight chill from the two hosts posted as gatekeepers to the bar and restaurant. I don’t hold a SAG card, and my social media follower count is far lower than what is acceptable, but please permit me to pass, sit and overpay for your very good French fries.
Also vying for the title of best French fries are the tallow fries from the new Happies Hand Made in the Arts District, named for the beef tallow the fries bathe in. They’re long, golden sticks that resemble fine fingers — the sort of fries that appear to have a surface sheathed in an extra layer of speckled coating that provides a satisfying crunch with each bite. They’re seasoned well with salt and pepper, well enough to skip the ketchup. But as our deputy Food editor Betty Hallock likes to say: It’s not a French fry if you can’t dip it in ketchup. Once again, people feel strongly about French fries and their condiments.
I recently stumbled on what could be the best French fry I’ve ever tasted at an Italian restaurant in the Arts District. It was like the world shifted into another universe where the thick fry crawled out of the depths of tuber hell and emerged triumphant.
The tallow fries from Happies Hand Made might seem like the best French fries in L.A. — until you visit Rossoblu.

If you never noticed fries on the Rossoblu menu, you’d be forgiven. Steve and Dina Samson’s restaurant is known best for Steve’s regional Italian cooking, built on his family’s traditional Bolognese dishes, including stellar pasta. But if you read through to the bottom of the menu, you’ll find the fries under the “contorni” or sides section, listed as “Apennine fries, triple-cooked, herbs, balsamic” ($14).
They’re named for the fries Steve remembers eating as a kid in a small mountain village in the Apennines in southern Bologna.
“One time we just went to some outdoor restaurant and I had fries with balsamic vinegar, and it was like, ‘Phew, this is mind blowing,’” he says. “I was probably like 10 years old, but it stuck in my mind and I always wanted to do that.”
Steve’s fries are shy of wedge territory, though I label anything wider than a quarter inch (about the width of a McDonald’s fry) a fat fry. They’re served in a heap in a bowl, the logs of potato annealed, shiny and splotched with balsamic vinegar. The surface of each fry resembles the rugged terrain of good fried chicken, jagged and almost shaggy in parts. Bits of fried rosemary and sage litter the top.
They’re hot and crunchier than I expect for a fry with sizable girth, the exterior layer of potato as delicate and crisp as a chip. But it isn’t just that outer layer that’s crunchy. It’s like the potatoes are fried from the inside out, with a crunch that permeates 90% of the fry’s nearly hollow body and eventually relents to a fluffy core. There is no need to rummage around for a good one. They are all the good one.

Before you have time to process how mind-bogglingly excellent the fries are, you get a bite tinged with vinegar and your mouth is flooded with the sweet and sharp tang of balsamic.
With two bites, I became a fat fry believer. Or at the very least an Apennine fry believer.
After trying multiple varieties of potatoes, Steve settled on Kennebec potatoes, and only Kennebec potatoes, to make his fries.
“They haven’t been consistently on our menu because it’s been hard to keep them consistent,” Steve says. “Sometimes our produce guy says it can be hard to get Kennebecs because In-N-Out uses so many of them. And then the way potatoes are farmed, it depends on the time of year and how long the potatoes have been stored.”
And even if Steve secures the Kennebecs, he won’t know a batch is good until he’s gone through the three-cook process to make them.
The potatoes are cut, rinsed and soaked overnight. They’re laid flat on racks, then steamed in the oven. The fries rest in the walk-in cooler and dry out, then take their first dip in the fryer. Once the fries are cooked through, they go back on a rack and into the freezer. The potatoes are flash-fried at 375 degrees to order.

“I’ve heard that there are ways to see if they float or see if they are going to be good potatoes,” he says. “If you can figure out a way to tell before you go through all the work. But we haven’t figured out a way to know before the third cook whether they are good or not. There have been times during service where we have a new batch, and it’s like, uh-oh, we can’t serve these.”
Sometimes the potatoes absorb too much oil. Other times they fall apart in the fryer.
“Whenever we get a good batch of potatoes, it’s such a good feeling,” he says. “You feel like you’ve won something.”
With the recent relaunch of the restaurant’s menu and a steady supply of Kennebecs, the fries are on again at Rossoblu.
“Things like fries are the hardest to do well because there are a lot of variables and everybody knows what a good fry is,” he says. “You can’t fake your way around a good fry.”
Though Steve intends to have the fries available whenever you visit, there are no guarantees. You may want to call ahead for the good fries.

A remarkable medieval sword with rare symbols was recently put on display in a Dutch museum, over a year after it was found by construction workers unexpectedly.
The discovery of the sword was announced by the Netherlands’ National Museum of Antiquities (RMO) in Leiden on June 24.
The artifact, named the Linschoten Sword, was found in March 2024 during “maintenance dredging activities,” the museum said in a press release.
RARE 1,200-YEAR-OLD CHRISTIAN CROSS FOUND IN FIELD BY METAL DETECTORIST
Construction workers were struck by a “long piece of iron” while cleaning a small river known as the Korte Linschoten, the statement noted.
The discovery turned out to be a sword measuring over three feet in length, dating back between 1050 and 1150 A.D.
The Linschoten Sword measures over three feet in length and dates back to the 11th century.
Pictures show the sword with a long crossguard and a pommel shaped like a Brazil nut, the museum noted.
“The blade is sharp on both edges and inlaid with strips of gold-colored copper, forming circular motifs featuring a cross and an ‘endless knot’ flanked by three lines on each side,” the RMO said.
Medieval swords are “rare finds.”
The sword was likely made with high-quality iron that was mined locally in the Veluwe hills. Experts believe it was deliberately deposited into the river, as there was no trace of a scabbard or sheath.
The museum also noted that medieval swords were “deeply personal possessions.”
STRANGE VIKING GRAVE WITH ‘CHRISTIAN OVERTONES’ DISCOVERED BY PERPLEXED ARCHAEOLOGISTS: ‘VERY UNUSUAL’
“They were either buried with their owner or – alternatively – ritually deposited into water,” the release noted. “In the latter case, they are often exceptionally well-preserved.”
RMO curator Annemarieke Willemsen told Fox News Digital that medieval swords are “rare finds.”
Historians believe the sword was deliberately left in a river, which allowed it to survive for a millennium.(Rijksmuseum van Oudheden)
“When [swords are found], [they’re] often well-preserved because they are made of top-quality steel,” she explained.
Many swords were “deposited in a river, where they rested for centuries under the water table, in an anaerobic environment,” the curator added.

“We have a similar sword with the same shape and date in our collections with the name ‘Ulfberht’ on the blade that was found in the river Schelde,” she said. “We have [many] more swords from the Middle Ages more broadly.’”
“Only the organic components – such as the wooden grip and any leather wrappings – have succumbed to time.”
In its statement, the museum noted that, though the sword was “remarkably well-preserved,” it’s possible that some components have decayed after 1,000 years.
“Only the organic components – such as the wooden grip and any leather wrappings – have succumbed to time,” the RMO’s press release added.

“The iron is barely corroded due to the oxygen-poor environment of the wet soil. Traces of the wooden hilt are still visible on the preserved sword.”

The sword’s remarkable preservation offers a rare connection to the 11th century, a period marked by frequent conflict in the Netherlands.
“During this period, the Bishop of Utrecht held authority in the region, although the Counts of Holland and Flanders were rising in power,” the museum said.
“This era also saw a shift in military tactics and weaponry: vertical slashing from horseback gave way to horizontal thrusting between pieces of armor,” the officials added.

“This sword, which could be wielded with one hand, embodies that transitional phase – suited to both techniques.”

I have tested some other routers and have several more in the queue. These aren’t as great as the picks above, but are worth considering.

AVM FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro for £374: While AVM has dominated the German router market for years and still has around a 50 percent market share, it’s now expanding across Europe and the UK, so I tested the FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro. AVM’s range is distinctive in white and red plastic, but there’s a focus on functionality. This tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router boasts a 2.5-Gbps WAN/LAN, four gigabit LAN, and a USB 3.1 port. It’s fast, scoring mid- to high-table results in my tests, and it proved reliable. It also has DSL or fiber-optic modems, an integrated DECT base station for cordless phones, built-in storage (NAS), and support for Zigbee to connect smart home devices. You don’t need an account to set it up or configure it. There’s a firewall and guest network option in the straightforward web interface (you can use the mobile app if you prefer). AVM’s routers are developed and manufactured in Europe, making them an interesting, privacy-focused alternative to routers from China or the US. The company also has a strong track record of supporting its products for years after release. Folks in the UK and Europe looking to upgrade to Wi-Fi 7 should consider this router. My fingers are crossed that AVM expands into the US next.
TP-Link Archer BE3600 for $99: This is the lowest price I’ve seen for a Wi-Fi 7 router. The basic design sports four antennas, a 2.5-Gbps WAN, a 2.5-Gbps LAN, and three Gigabit LAN ports. It is dual-band (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz), so there’s no 6-GHz option, and it’s only 2 x 2 MIMO, so the maximum bandwidth is 688 Mbps and 2,882 Mbps, respectively. Sadly, I found the range on the 5-GHz band to be limited, and the band steering was disappointing, often dropping my phone onto the much slower 2.4-GHz band. Throughput was so-so, and file transfers were mid-table in my results. The BE3600 finished below our top pick in every test. It could be perfect for a small apartment, as it was impressively speedy at close range on both bands, but dropped off quickly with distance, making it tough to recommend for larger properties. The subscription required for enhanced security and parental controls is also a hard sell on a router this cheap.
Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro

Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro for $800: While I am keen to add a 5G router and mobile hot spot to this guide, and the Nighthawk M6 Pro is an excellent performer, it is simply too expensive to recommend for most folks. (I plan to test cheaper models in the coming weeks.) That said, the M6 Pro is easy to use and might suit business folks with an expense account. Pop a 5G SIM in there and you have a tri-band Wi-Fi 6E router (2.4-, 5-, and 6-GHz) with a sturdy design, a handy 2.8-inch touchscreen, a 2.5-gigabit Ethernet port, and a battery that’s good for up to 13 hours of use. You can connect up to 32 devices via Wi-Fi and expect a range of around 1,000 square feet. You can also use the Ethernet port as a WAN connection or employ the M6 Pro as a secure Wi-Fi repeater. It’s versatile, but configuration can be a chore, speeds are limited if you want to extend battery life, and it’s too expensive.
Asus RT-BE86U for $260: The new Wi-Fi 7 version of the Asus RT-AX86U listed above, this dual-band (2.4- and 5-GHz) router is similar to the Asus RT-BE88U below. It lacks the 6-GHz band but brings all the other improvements that Wi-Fi 7 offers, from MLO to better security. The RT-BE86U proved reliable in my tests and performed extremely well on the 5-GHz band, matching the slightly more expensive RT-BE88U. It is slightly smaller but still has one 10-Gbps and four 2.5-Gbps Ethernet ports, alongside a USB 2.0 and a USB 3.0 port. It also offers all the usual benefits of an Asus router, including onboard security, parental controls, AiMesh and VPN support, and a host of configuration options. It’s perhaps a little pricey at the moment, but when this router starts to drop, it will be a solid choice for many homes and may well claim a place above.
TP-Link Archer GE800

TP-Link Archer GE800 for $350: This stunning tri-band Wi-Fi 7 gaming router came very close to a place above. The angled design with customizable RGB lighting screams Vader’s castle but also provides room for antennas to ensure extremely fast performance across the board. You also get a 10-Gbps port for your incoming internet connection, a further two 10-Gbps and four 2.5-Gbps Ethernet LAN ports, and a USB 3.0 port. The Tether app is solid, with some gaming-specific options, but separate subscriptions are required for extra security and parental controls. Despite the blazing fast results, the GE800 couldn’t quite match our top Wi-Fi 7 gaming pick above on the 6-GHz band, and it produced quite a lot of heat and audible fan noise, though it is significantly cheaper.
Firewalla Gold SE for $479: This quirky portable device is perfect for people who worry about security and privacy. It offers comprehensive tools for monitoring all traffic in and out of your house, robust and detailed parental controls, ad-blocking, and enhanced security with a built-in firewall and VPN option. It serves as a router, but you will want to pair another router in access point mode for Wi-Fi in your home. It’s expensive and may prove intimidating for inexperienced folks, but it offers deep insight into your network and an impressive depth of security features without an additional subscription. The Gold SE has two 2.5-Gbps ports and two gigabit ports and is suitable for folks with up to 2-gigabit connections. If your internet is only one gigabit, try the more affordable but slightly less capable, Firewalla Purple ($369) (8/10, WIRED recommends).
Asus RT-BE88U for $330: This dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router is an odd prospect because it does not offer the 6-GHz band at all, just 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. But you can still combine those bands with MLO and enjoy features like 4K QAM, and this router will be fast enough for the average home. It has ports galore (two 10 Gbps, four 2.5 Gbps, four Gigabit, and one USB 3.0). It outperformed several more expensive routers on the 5-GHz band, and that’s likely what most of your devices are using most of the time right now. Asus also offers free security software and parental controls with its routers, so there’s no need for subscriptions. But when I consider that you can snag the Netgear Nighthawk RS300 listed above for less, I find it tough to recommend this router to folks in the US. If the 6-GHz band is unavailable or nerfed in your country, the RT-BE88U is for you.
TP-Link Travel Router AX1500 for $60: If you don’t want to spend much on a travel router, this is a good alternative to our pick above and less than half the price. The catch is that you can expect around half the performance. If you just need to cover a hotel room, it’s fine, but the USB 2.0 port limits the effectiveness of using your phone’s cellular connection, and the 2.4-GHz band is only Wi-Fi 4. It does have two Gigabit ports, some handy modes, and VPN support. I also love that it is powered via USB-C, as it affords some versatility (you could even use a fast portable charger).
Netgear Nighthawk RS700 for $550: Although I had setup issues that required a factory reset, there’s no hiding the top-notch performance of this router. It’s a Wi-Fi 7 tri-band router with two 10-Gbps Ethernet ports, four gigabit ports, and a USB 3.2. The tower design is new for the Nighthawk line, and it looks great. This router will blend in far better than our bulky Wi-Fi 7 pick above from Asus, and it was slightly faster on the 6-GHz band, though not the 5-GHz or 2.4-GHz bands. It mainly misses out on a recommendation because it is more expensive. We’re already seeing discounts on the RT-BE96U, and Asus offers free security software and parental controls. If you get the Nighthawk RS700S, the “S” at the end denotes a free year of Netgear Armor, which costs $100 a year thereafter. If you need parental controls, that’s another $70 a year.
TP-Link Archer GX90 AX6600 for $250: Picks above too expensive? The slightly more affordable TP-Link Archer GX90 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) might tempt you. It looks like a Sith spider, but this gaming-focused behemoth is feature-packed. It’s easy to set up and configure, and it boasts a game accelerator feature and prioritization, making it easy to reserve bandwidth for gaming. I had no issues with multiple simultaneous gaming sessions. It has a 2.5-Gbps WAN/LAN port, a gigabit WAN/LAN port, three gigabit LAN ports, and two USB ports (3.0 and 2.0). Sadly, full parental controls and enhanced security require subscriptions, and it is a Wi-Fi 6 router.
Aircove ExpressVPN Router for $190: This router has a built-in VPN service, allowing you to shield your network traffic from prying eyes. You do have to buy a subscription to ExpressVPN separately (it’s $13 per month, or just over $8 if you pay annually). But setup is simple, and having a VPN at the router level is much easier than having to install it on each device (though several of our picks above can do this too). It’s worth noting that ExpressVPN doesn’t make our Best VPNs guide because it was sold to a parent company with a less-than-sterling reputation; that might matter to you if you’re the kind of person who wants a VPN. I also ran into a few issues with websites and streaming services that aren’t keen on VPNs.

Vodafone Pro II from £37 a month: Folks in the UK looking for a new internet service provider (ISP) should check out Vodafone’s Pro II (8/10, WIRED Review). While ISPs have traditionally provided shoddy routers to their customers, that seems to be changing. The Vodafone Pro II is a tri-band router that supports Wi-Fi 6E, and it delivered lightning-fast speeds in my tests, on par with many of my picks above. The range is limited, especially on the 6-GHz band, but this service comes with a range extender that appears as part of the same network. You can also get a 4G backup that connects to Vodafone’s mobile network to keep you online should your regular internet connection fail. It’s only available with a two-year Vodafone service contract, starting from £37 a month.
TP-Link Archer BE800 for $400: With a fresh design that’s more desktop PC than router, the BE800 (8/10, WIRED Review) tri-band beast came out on top or close to it in my tests on the 2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, and 6-GHz bands, proving impressively swift for file transfers and downloads. It also boasts speedy ports galore, a cool but kind of pointless customizable dot-matrix LED screen, and the Tether app offers a guest network, IoT network, VPN server or client, EasyMesh, QoS for device prioritization, and remote management. This was our Wi-Fi 7 pick, but the Asus RT-BE96U beat it in my tests and does not require a subscription. TP-Link’s Security+ ($5/month, $36/year) and Advanced Parental Controls ($3/month, $18/year) bring full-featured parental controls and network security.
Reyee RG-E6 for $119: This affordable gaming router from Reyee is a decent budget gaming pick that recorded some impressive test results. It is only a dual-band router, but with support for 160-MHz channels, the speeds on the 5-GHz band were very good. It has a 2.5-Gbps WAN/LAN and three gigabit LANs, but no USB ports. Reyee’s app offers prioritization for devices, ports, and gaming traffic, separate guest and IoT networks, and basic parental controls. What it lacks is any security, and the app is poorly translated. But if that doesn’t bother you, this is likely the best gaming router you can get for the money.
TP-Link Archer AXE75 for $130: While this tri-band router makes Wi-Fi 6E affordable, its performance was mixed. The 6-GHz band offers fast speeds at close range but drops off sharply with distance. I found the 5-GHz band somewhat inconsistent, recording zippy performance in most of my tests but relatively slow results on a few occasions. You also need subscriptions if you want full-featured parental controls and network security, and all four Ethernet ports are limited to 1 Gbps.
Synology WRX560 for $230: If you already have the Synology RT6600ax listed above, the WRX560 is a decent additional device for setting up a mesh network. I had some issues with setup that required a factory reset, but once up and running, the WRX560 offers a strong and stable signal on the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands. However, a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router is a tough sell at this price, so if you just need one, it’s worth spending the extra $80 for the RT6600ax.
Linksys Hydra Pro 6E for $158: One of the first Wi-Fi 6E tri-band routers (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) to hit the market, the price has dropped significantly since release. It proved easy to set up and has a very straightforward app, though it was often slow to load. It has a 5-Gbps WAN port and four gigabit LAN ports. The performance proved reliable, and it’s possible to get lightning-fast speeds at close range if you have a device that supports Wi-Fi 6E. Coverage and speeds at mid and long range were average. There are free basic parental controls that enable you to block sites and schedule downtime, but only on a per-device basis (no profile creation or age restriction filters). You can split bands if you want to and prioritize three devices. There’s also a guest network option and easy Wi-Fi sharing. Another positive is that this router works with any other Linksys Intelligent Mesh router (including the Velop mesh range).
Linksys Hydra 6 for $95: Specs-wise, this compact router is similar to our top pick (TP-Link Archer AX55). It’s a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router with a gigabit WAN and four gigabit LAN ports. The setup was easy, and it uses the same Linksys app as the Pro 6E above, so you get free parental controls, guest network, prioritization, and band splitting. It proved speedy at close range and not bad at mid-range, but if your home is larger than 1,600 square feet, it may struggle. However, as an Intelligent Mesh router, it can mix and match with other Linksys routers or its Velop mesh system. Linksys suggests a limit of 25 connected devices. Although it managed more than 40 without issues in my testing, busy households will likely want something more powerful.
Routers We Don’t Recommend
These are the Wi-Fi routers we had issues with or can’t recommend for one reason or another.
Netgear Nighthawk RS200 for $206: The RS200 is Netgear’s dual-band (2.4- and 5-GHz) Wi-Fi 7 router and the cheapest in its Wi-Fi 7 lineup. After the tri-band RS300 won a recommendation, I expected this router to perform decently, but I encountered several issues, including random drops and poor range. After turning the router off and on again, many devices, including my Pixel and iPhone, struggled to reconnect. Perhaps I have too many devices in my home for it, though Netgear suggests it can handle up to 80. It has two 2.5 Gbps, three gigabit Ethernet, and a USB 3.0 port. Test results were OK, but significantly slower than the RT-BE86U. The expensive subscriptions for Netgear Armor ($100/year) and Premium Smart Parental Controls ($8/month or $70/year) seem especially pricey with a cheaper router like this.
TP-Link Archer AX5400 Pro for $200: This dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router is almost identical to the Archer AX73, except for the 2.5-Gbps WAN port. It delivers relatively fast speeds on the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands and boasts a 160-MHz channel width on 5 GHz. The range is good, easily covering my home and garden, but the performance was inconsistent. It was also relatively slow at moving files locally. There’s support for TP-Link OneMesh, VPN, and QoS, but you only get basic parental controls and network security unless you subscribe.
MSi RadiX AXE6600 for $123: This Wi-Fi 6E tri-band gaming router has that familiar red and black Sith spider look, though you can customize the lighting. It proved very fast in most of my tests, coming close to the top of the table at short range on the 6-GHz band and offering average performance on the 5-GHz and 2.4-GHz bands. But the mobile app had limited options, a confusing layout, and was buggy (it crashed on me more than once). The web interface was better, with more options, including open VPN, simple parental controls, guest network, and QoS optimization for gaming. Unfortunately, performance was inconsistent, and I suffered random drops twice in a week of testing.
S GODINAMA se kod žena mijenja hormonalna ravnoteža i usporava metabolizam, što može negativno utjecati na zdravlje probavnog sustava. Nadutost, usporena probava i upale česti su simptomi koji se javljaju nakon četrdesete. No, promjenom prehrambenih navika moguće je ublažiti te tegobe i poboljšati rad crijeva. Stoga su stručnjaci izdvojili nekoliko vrsta hrane koje bi žene trebale izbjegavati nakon 40. godine.
Zaslađene pahuljice
Iako su praktične za doručak, pahuljice s puno šećera mogu ozbiljno poremetiti probavu. “Većina doručaka u obliku žitarica sadrži visoke razine šećera i druge umjetne sastojke koje je teško i izgovoriti”, kaže liječnik dr. Michael O. McKinney za SheFinds. Takav sastav remeti ravnotežu crijevnih bakterija i potiče upalu. Umjesto toga, preporučuju se zobene pahuljice ili mekinje, koje sadrže više vlakana i olakšavaju probavu.

Rafinirani bijeli kruh
Bijeli kruh je čest izbor, ali teško opterećuje probavni sustav. “Izrađen je od visoko obrađenoga bijelog brašna koje sadrži vrlo malo prirodnih vlakana, što uzrokuje nagli porast šećera u krvi, nadutost i želučane tegobe”, objašnjava dr. McKinney. Nedostatak vlakana može usporiti prolazak hrane kroz crijeva i uzrokovati zatvor. Puno je bolji izbor kruh od cjelovitog zrna.
Čips od krumpira
Grickalice poput čipsa često su pržene u lošim uljima i sadrže trans masti, što otežava probavu i uzrokuje plinove i nadutost. “Takva hrana je industrijski obrađena, puna natrija i umjetnih aroma”, ističe dijetetičarka Trista Best. Uz to, često se jedu s masnim umacima i u velikim količinama, što dodatno pogoršava stanje. Nutricionistica Lisa Richards dodaje: “Nedostatak vlakana u ovim proizvodima remeti ravnotežu crijevne mikrobiote i može dovesti do dodatnih upala.”
Energetske pločice (granola)
Iako ih se reklamira kao zdrave, mnoge granola pločice sadrže skrivene šećere i prerađene sastojke. “Često su bogate kalorijama zbog dodataka poput šećernih sirupa, ulja i rafiniranih žitarica”, upozorava nutricionistica i dijetetičarka Krutika Nanavati. Sušeno voće i sirupi mogu uzrokovati skokove šećera u krvi, a nedostatak vlakana pridonosi osjećaju gladi i otežava probavu.

NIŠTA nije slađe od malog psića koji prvi put isprobava novu hranu. A ova sićušna čivava svojim je neobičnim ponašanjem nakon prvog zalogaja jagode osvojila srca tisuća gledatelja.
Štene skače i kreće prema zdjelici jagoda kao da će je napasti, a zatim se iznenada povlači. Nije posve jasno pokušava li pojesti voće ili se s njime želi boriti, ali jedno je sigurno, reakcija je neodoljiva.

Smiju li psi jesti jagode?
Ako se pitate je li jagoda sigurna za vašeg psa, odgovor je potvrdan. Jagode su zdrava poslastica za pse, ali samo uz pravilno posluživanje i u umjerenim količinama.
Stranica PetMD navodi da jagode imaju brojne zdravstvene prednosti za pse. Bogate su vitaminima C, B1, B6 i K koji jačaju imunološki sustav, sadrže vlakna te omega-3 masne kiseline koje pomažu zdravlju dlake.
Ipak, važno je pripaziti na količinu. Previše jagoda može izazvati probavne smetnje, osobito kod vrlo mladih štenaca. Važno je znati da cijele jagode mogu predstavljati opasnost od gušenja, osobito za manje pse. Zato ih je uvijek potrebno narezati na sitne komade. Također, treba ukloniti peteljke i listove jer i oni mogu uzrokovati smetnje u probavnom sustavu.

Mumbai, July 7: U.S. Open runner-up Taylor Fritz moved into the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the third time in four years on Sunday, advancing when his injured opponent, Jordan Thompson, quit while trailing 6-1, 3-0 after 41 minutes. The unseeded Thompson’s movement and power clearly were compromised. The Australian entered the match with back and leg issues and left the court for a medical timeout in the second set, then stopped after trying to play for three more points. Carlos Alcaraz Storms Into Quarterfinals of Wimbledon 2025 After Defeating Andrey Rublev.
“Just got significantly worse today,” said Thompson, who was competing in singles and doubles at Wimbledon. “Just played a lot of tennis on a body that shouldn’t have been, and it just took its toll.”
For the No. 5-seeded Fritz, it was a shorter workday after playing a pair of five-setters and one four-setter earlier in the tournament.
“It’s obviously not the way that I want to go through,” Fritz said. “It’s just sad. … Respect to him for coming out. His body’s not right.”
Now the American will meet No. 17 seed Karen Khachanov of Russia on Tuesday for a berth in the semifinals — a round neither has reached at the All England Club. Khachanov has been a Grand Slam semifinalist twice, at the U.S. Open in 2022 and the Australian Open in 2023. Novak Djokovic’s Daughter Tara Djokovic Steals the Show at Wimbledon 2025 With Her Victory Dance (Watch Video).
Fritz made it that far at a major for the first time when he got to the final at Flushing Meadows in September before losing to No. 1 Jannik Sinner. Khachanov beat Kamil Majchrzak 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 Sunday and is 2-0 against Fritz, although their most recent meeting was in 2020.
“We practice all the time, so we’re pretty familiar with each other’s games. But I think I improved a ton and have become a much, much better player since the last time we played,” Fritz said.
What Else Happened at Wimbledon on Sunday?
No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka reached the quarterfinals at her 11th consecutive Grand Slam tournament, defeating No. 24 Elise Mertens 6-4, 7-6 (4), and will play Laura Siegemund, the 37-year-old German who followed up her elimination of Australian Open champ Madison Keys by beating lucky loser Solana Sierra 6-3, 6-2.
When Siegemund’s age was mentioned during an on-court interview, the crowd applauded, and she joked: “It’s not that often you get such a compliment for being old.” Wimbledon 2025: Aryna Sabalenka Marches Into Quarterfinals With Win Over Former Doubles Partner Elise Mertens.
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova overcame a missed call late in the first set when the electronic system that replaced line judges at Wimbledon this year was shut off but ended up beating Sonay Kartal 7-6 (3), 6-4 to return to the grass-court major’s quarterfinals for the first time in nine years.
Pavlyuchenkova’s opponent Tuesday will be No. 13 Amanda Anisimova or No. 30 Linda Noskova. The men’s matches later Sunday were two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz vs. No. 14 Andrey Rublev, and Cam Norrie vs. Nicolas Jarry.
Who plays at the All England Club on Monday?The quarterfinals will be set after Monday’s play, which leads off at Centre Court with 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic against No. 11 Alex de Minaur at 1:30 p.m. local time (8:30 a.m. ET).

They were supposed to face each other in last year’s quarterfinals at Wimbledon, but de Minaur was forced to withdraw before the match with a hip injury. That’s to be followed by No. 7 Mirra Andreeva vs. No. 10 Emma Navarro, who eliminated 2024 champion Barbora Krejcikova in the third round, and then No. 1 Jannik Sinner vs. No. 19 Grigor Dimitrov.

(Bloomberg Opinion) — An artificial intelligence furor that’s consuming Singapore’s academic community reveals how we’ve lost the plot over the role the hyped-up technology should play in higher education.
A student at Nanyang Technological University said in a Reddit post that she used a digital tool to alphabetize her citations for a term paper. When it was flagged for typos, she was then accused of breaking the rules over the use of generative AI for the assignment. It snowballed when two more students came forward with similar complaints, one alleging that she was penalized for using ChatGPT to help with initial research, even though she says she did not use the bot to draft the essay.
The school, which publicly states it embraces AI for learning, initially defended its zero-tolerance stance in this case in statements to local media. But internet users rallied around the original Reddit poster, and rejoiced at an update that she won an appeal to rid her transcript of the academic fraud label.
It may sound like a run-of-the-mill university dispute. But there’s a reason the saga went so viral, garnering thousands of upvotes and heated opinions from online commentators. It laid bare the strange new world we’ve found ourselves in, as students and faculty are rushing to keep pace with how AI should or shouldn’t be used in universities.
It’s a global conundrum, but the debate has especially roiled Asia. Stereotypes of math nerds and tiger moms aside, a rigorous focus on tertiary studies is often credited for the region’s economic rise. The importance of education — and long hours of studying — is instilled from the earliest age. So how does this change in the AI era? The reality is that nobody has the answer yet.
Despite the promises from edtech leaders that we’re on the cusp of “the biggest positive transformation that education has ever seen,” the data on academic outcomes hasn’t kept pace with the technology’s adoption. There are no long-term studies on how AI tools impact learning and cognitive functions — and viral headlines that it could make us lazy and dumb only add to the anxiety. Meanwhile, the race to not be left behind in implementing the technology risks turning an entire generation of developing minds into guinea pigs.
For educators navigating this moment, the answer is not to turn a blind eye. Even if some teachers discourage the use of AI, it has become almost unavoidable for scholars doing research in the internet age. Most Google searches now lead with automated summaries. Scrolling through these should not count as academic dishonesty. An informal survey of 500 Singaporean students from secondary school through university conducted by a local news outlet this year found that 84% were using products like ChatGPT for homework on a weekly basis.
In China, many universities are turning to AI cheating detectors, even though the technology is imperfect. Some students are reporting on social media that they have to dumb down their writing to pass these tests or shell out cash for such detection tools themselves to ensure they beat them before submitting their papers.
It doesn’t have to be this way. The chaotic moment of transition has put new onus on educators to adapt, and shift the focus on the learning process as much as the final results, Yeow Meng Chee, the provost and chief academic and innovation officer at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, tells me. This doesn’t mean villainizing AI, but treating it as a tool, and ensuring a student understands how they arrived at their final conclusion even if they used technology. This process also helps ensure the AI outputs, which remain imperfect and prone to hallucinations (or typos), are checked and understood.
Ultimately, professors who make the biggest difference aren’t those who improve exam scores but who build trust, teach empathy and instill confidence in students to solve complex problems. The most important parts of learning still can’t be optimized by a machine.
The Singapore saga shows how everyone is on edge, and whether a reference-sorting website even counts as a generative AI tool isn’t clear. It also exposed another irony: Saving time on a tedious task would likely be welcomed when the student enters the workforce — if the technology hasn’t already taken her entry-level job. Demand for AI literacy in the labor market is becoming a must-have, and universities ignoring it does a disservice to cohorts entering the real world.
We’re still a few years away from understanding the full impact of AI on teaching and how it can best be used in higher education. But let’s not miss the forest for the trees as we figure it out.

“We are freaking out,” says Billie Sayavong. He and his wife, Nokmaniphone, operate Nok’s Kitchen, one of the few restaurants in Southern California devoted to cuisine from Laos. The Westminster restaurant has been featured repeatedly on this paper’s 101 Best Restaurants List.
In just the last week, shortly after President Trump announced new tariffs, Billie watched the restaurant’s meat and seafood invoice increase by 30%.
Nok’s Kitchen relies heavily on goods imported from all over Southeast Asia to make its signature grilled sausages, fiery larb and crispy rice salad. Even with the president’s 90-day pause on tariffs, the Sayavongs are no more confident in their ability to continue to operate the restaurant in an unsteady economic climate.
“There is a lot of back-and-forth and the president will make a decision and switch, and our vendors are not taking chances,” he says. “They are automatically increasing prices right away.”

It’s a reality faced by restaurant owners across the city, who continue to struggle with the aftermath of the writers’ strike and the recent fire disasters. Dozens of businesses have already closed since the start of the year, with more closures announced in recent weeks.
Tariffs are affecting restaurants serving cuisines that rely on goods from countries with the highest tariffs set, including South and Southeast Asia, where the proposed hikes range from 17% to 49%.
But the tariffs aren’t just putting these businesses in jeopardy. They’re threatening the diversity of the culinary landscape of Southern California, and the very heart of what makes Los Angeles one of the greatest dining cities in the world.
The taxes are part of President Trump’s America First trade policy, meant to “benefit American workers manufacturers, farmers, ranchers, entrepreneurs, and businesses.”
The greatest restaurants in America, and a large percentage of the most successful restaurants in Los Angeles, were built on the diversity of our immigrant communities. About one in 10 restaurants in the country serves Mexican food and 12% of all restaurants in America serve Asian food, with the majority being Chinese, Japanese or Thai.
So what does “America First” mean when applied to the restaurant industry? What cuisines are considered American and who gets to decide?
“I just want the trade war to be over so we can survive,” says Shaheen Ghazaly. The chef and owner of Kurrypinch in Los Feliz has been in a perpetual state of uncertainty since the new tariffs were announced. His restaurant relies heavily on ingredients from Sri Lanka, a country with a proposed 44% tariff.
Sri Lankan cinnamon sticks are used in at least 80% of the dishes on the menu. It’s what gives Ghazaly’s seeni sambol, the caramelized onion relish, a distinct, subtle, almost citrusy cinnamon flavor.
During the second week of April, shortly after the tariffs were announced, Ghazaly saw the cost of his weekly grocery order jump from $1,800 to $2,600.
The price for two pounds of Sri Lankan cinnamon rose from $37 to $49. Cardamon and clove, two other ingredients crucial to the spice mixes for his curries, were more expensive. The four cases of coconut milk he goes through each week from Thailand, a country with a proposed 36% tariff, rose from $28 a case to $42.
The tomatoes he buys from Mexico went from $15 to $29 per 25 pounds.
“This is really going to hurt us,” says Ghazaly. “In the restaurant world, the margins are already very thin. And I’m pretty sure people will be hesitant to come in if I have to increase $5 to $6 per dish.”
The thought of losing one of the city’s few Sri Lankan restaurants is unsettling, as is having to experience the food through a more Americanized lens.
Restaurant owners and chefs now are faced with a new dilemma: Pass the increased cost of goods onto diners with higher prices, or cut costs by reworking recipes and substituting with cheaper ingredients. For many of these restaurants, there isn’t a cheaper, local alternative.
“Making substitutions or making certain ingredients ourselves is not an option,” Billie says. “Our tamarind sauce we make using a certain fermented fish from Thailand. We don’t have the bandwidth to go fish and let it ferment for years. There might be alternatives, but it’s not the same. We have a consistent menu, and one little change can change the entire dish.”
It’s a sentiment shared by Southern California restaurants that rely on ingredients from the Asian countries set to face some of the highest tariffs. Changing ingredients threatens the integrity of the entirety of the restaurant and its signature dishes, many stemming from family recipes that have been developed over decades.

Thai Nakorn restaurant in Stanton relies on a specific coconut cream from Thailand to make its curries, as well as Thai Jasmine rice and a long list of herbs. There’s a unique Thai crab fat, fermented Thai crabs and Thai shrimp paste in the crab papaya salad.
“We have done this for over 40 years,” says Linda Sreewarom, whose aunt opened the original Thai Nakorn in Orange County in 1984. “To change the recipes completely and try to find different brands of all these things made in the U.S. is impossible.”
Facing a 125% tariff on goods from China, Bistro Na’s team in Temple City is having to reevaluate nearly every dish on its menu. The restaurant specializes in Beijing cuisine, with ingredients imported by local suppliers from all over China. There’s the hawthorn used to lacquer the signature crispy shrimp in a sweet glaze, the sea cucumber and abalone, Jinhua ham, 10-year-aged Xinhui tangerine peel, black fungus and a variety of spices.

“We are indeed exploring options to replace certain imported ingredients with those more readily available from suppliers. However, some ingredients are essential to preserving the authentic flavors of our dishes and cannot be substituted,” says Carol Lin, general manager at the restaurant. “Our costs have already gone up and it’s become more difficult to operate the business.”
The kitchen is in the process of developing dishes that use more locally grown, organic produce such as the new deep-fried eggplant with pine nuts, garlic and sesame. But the dish’s addictive, hot and sweet balance comes from a mixture of dried chili pepper from Mexico and hawthorn from China.
Uyên Lê, chef and owner of Bé Ù, a small, takeout-only Vietnamese restaurant in Echo Park, has spent the last week attempting to balance the cost of the perishable items she needs now with the nonperishable goods she might be able to stock up on before any anticipated price increase or shortage.
In mid-March, after four years in business, Lê made the difficult decision to increase menu prices due to a host of factors putting a strain on the financial health of the business, including rent, supplies, staffing, insurance and maintenance and replacement for equipment. The restaurant also provides 30 to 80 meals a day to unhoused neighbors in the community.

“I just raised my prices before these tariffs so I’m in a holding pattern to figure out how much of my products are going to go up,” she says. “For a lot of small businesses, we end up just eating a lot of the cost. I’m kind of a brand-specific person because there is a lot out there, and over time I’ve curated brands that I like and that I feel are consistent with my food.”
Lê’s inventory comes from a mix of online vendors and what she buys directly from Vietnamese markets in Los Angeles and Orange County. During the height of the pandemic, Lê put around 150 miles a day on her car, driving around to find the lowest price on goods for the restaurant.
Then there’s the issue of sustainability. Buying American, or even locally, may not always be the most sustainable option. Depending on the product, how something is produced can have more of an environmental impact than how far it travels. It’s a concept Lê’, who in a former life lobbied for support of green initiatives and green jobs for an electricians union, is keenly aware of.
“For our perishables it’s kind of weird, because to a certain extent you’re trying to be environmentally conscious,” she says. “I prefer to buy California avocados because of the shorter time it takes to get to me and I’m supporting local farmers. But they use so much more water to grow avocados in California than they do in Mexico, where it’s an avocado-growing region.”

Sourcing peppercorns exclusively from the Kampot region of Cambodia helps make Sophy’s Cambodia Town a culinary destination in Long Beach. Owner Sophy Khut marinates slabs of beef jerky in a garlicky sauce heavy with the peppercorns, prized for their singular strength and aroma. It’s a dish worth traveling for, and one that’s helped keep the restaurant in business for the past two decades.
Khut’s cost to purchase the peppercorns is $18 per pound, not including shipping or taxes.
“It’s really hitting me,” she says. “I’m worrying a lot and I feel like I’m having an anxiety attack.”
Like all the restaurateurs I spoke with, Khut says she’ll exhaust every available resource before raising prices, even by a fraction. But altering ingredients like her prized Kampot peppercorns, will never be an option.
I can think of hundreds of similar examples, dishes and entire immigrant cuisines dependent on ingredients not readily available in the United States or too costly to produce locally. With the threat of tariffs still looming, and restaurants and diners already feeling the squeeze, we should all be asking ourselves the same question. Without immigrant food culture, what is American food?
A newly released documentary on Netflix has continued to draw attention from viewers about how a vacation turned into a nightmare.
The film covers the Carnival Triumph ship — which departed from Galveston, Texas, and set sail to Cozumel, Mexico for a four-night stay in Feb. 2013.
The documentary, “Trainwreck: Poop Cruise,” explores the incident in which an engine fire left 4,000 passengers stranded at sea without power and dubbed the incident the “poop cruise,” according to Netflix’s website.
CRUISE DO’S AND DON’TS: TOP 5 THINGS THAT WILL GET YOU BANNED FOR LIFE
Passengers were stranded for about five days until finally making it to Mobile, Alabama.
A Carnival spokesperson told Fox News Digital the incident from over 12 years ago was a teachable moment for the entire cruise industry.
“A thorough investigation following the incident revealed a design vulnerability,” the statement said, “which was corrected and led Carnival Cruise Line to invest more than $500 million across our entire fleet in comprehensive fire prevention and suppression, improved redundancy and enhanced management systems, all in support of our commitment to robust safety standards.”

The company’s statement continued, “We are proud of the fact that since 2013 over 53 million guests have enjoyed safe and memorable vacations with us, and we will continue to operate to these high standards.”
The documentary features interviews with passengers, who shared their accounts of defecating in biohazard bags, seeing fights break out, having no power and revealing the chaos that unfolded aboard.
MEXICO ROLLS BACK ITS CONTROVERSIAL NEW TAX ON CRUISE SHIP VISITORS
Stewart Chiron, a Miami-based cruise industry expert known as “The Cruise Guy,” told Fox News Digital the Carnival Triumph disaster was an unfortunate situation.
A Carnival spokesperson said the incident became a teachable moment for the entire cruise industry.
Chiron said the incident “highlighted the significant safety measures available at that moment in time and lessons learned, as it has never happened again.”
“The ship did exactly what it was supposed to do and preserved lives,” he added.

“While the passengers and crew were uncomfortable, they were safe. Food and supplies were replenished by other ships sailing in the area as it was towed to Mobile, Alabama.”
Viewers have taken to social media to share comments about the outrageous incident.

Even durable headphones are easy to damage. We have lost pairs to folks standing on them, cats and robot vacuums attacking the cables, and chairs rolling over them. I have learned that a stand or holder is worth the investment if it keeps those cans off the floor. Even if your kids only sometimes remember to use it, that could extend the likely lifespan of their headphones.
These headphones didn’t quite earn a place above, but we still liked them.

Juice Pro Wireless Headphones for £35: For the 10-year-old kids in one of my wife’s classes, these headphones were singled out as the best because they are very comfy, they are wireless, and they offer decent active noise cancellation. Sound quality is decent, the headphones are hard-wearing, and they are made from 100 percent recycled plastics. They are also cheap for folks in the UK (sadly, unavailable stateside).
BuddyPhones Cosmos Fun for $80: These headphones by Onanoff offer three volume-limiting options at 75, 85, or 94 decibels, but that top limit should only ever be used for short periods (50 minutes or less). There are stickers to customize the cans, and they are well-padded, but the verdict from the kids was just “OK.” The presence of ANC and 42-hour battery life is welcome. The 3.5-mm audio port allows for plugging in, and we love that you can also use it to link two pairs of Buddyphones and share audio (handy if your kids are sharing a tablet to watch a movie).
Headphones We Didn’t Like
These headphones did not pass muster, for either us or our kids.
Photograph: Simon Hill
Juice Animals Wired Headphones: Simon really wanted to like these headphones as they are made entirely from recycled plastic, 20 percent of the profits go to The Born Free Foundation, and they come in fun panda or tiger designs. They are also very affordable. But, sadly, both pairs we tested developed faults within the first week.
StoryPhones: While the idea of headphones that play stories based on “StoryShields” you attach is clever, enabling kids to switch stories easily, the StoryPhones are too expensive for the build and sound quality, extra stories are pricey, and the shields are easily lost.

VISOKI krvni tlak (hipertenzija) često ne pokazuje jasne simptome, zbog čega mnogi ni ne znaju da ga imaju. Ipak, stručnjaci upozoravaju da određene prehrambene navike, posebno unos soli, mogu povećati rizik od razvoja hipertenzije ili pogoršati stanje ako već imate srčane probleme.
Sol – tihi neprijatelj zdravlja srca
Redovita kontrola krvnog tlaka iznimno je važna, osobito nakon 40. godine. Rijetki simptomi poput glavobolje, zamućenog vida ili krvarenja iz nosa mogu biti znakovi povišenog tlaka, no kod većine osoba stanje prolazi neprimijećeno.
Prehrana igra ključnu ulogu u regulaciji tlaka. Dok neke namirnice pomažu u njegovu snižavanju, druge, poput prekomjernog unosa soli, mogu ga znatno povisiti. Stručnjaci upozoravaju da konzumacija više od 6 grama soli dnevno (otprilike jedna ravna čajna žličica) može znatno povećati rizik od kardiovaskularnih bolesti.
Prema British Heart Foundation (Britanska zaklada za srce – BHF), osobe koje jedu puno soli, a premalo voća i povrća, izloženije su razvoju visokog krvnog tlaka. I to bez obzira radi li se o običnoj kuhinjskoj soli ili morskoj, obje jednako utječu na organizam.
Sol je prisutna i u namirnicama u kojima je ne bismo očekivali
Većina soli koju unosimo ne dolazi od onoga što sami dodajemo jelu, nego iz industrijski prerađene hrane. Gotova jela, grickalice, pekarski proizvodi, ali i naizgled bezazlene namirnice poput kruha, sira ili žitarica za doručak često sadrže velike količine skrivene soli.
BHF navodi da su najčešći “skriveni” izvori soli:
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
konzervirane juhe i umaci (npr. umak od soje, kečap, umaci za pečenje),
gotove pizze i tijesta,
prerađeno meso (kobasice, šunka, slanina),
kolači, keksi i peciva,
žitarice za doručak i sirevi.
Kad na deklaraciji vidite riječ “natrij”, imajte na umu da se radi o glavnom sastojku soli (natrijev klorid). BHF preporučuje da odrasli ne unose više od 2,5 grama natrija dnevno, što odgovara 6 grama soli.
Zašto previše soli šteti?
Sol pomaže bubrezima u regulaciji količine vode u tijelu. Međutim, kada unosimo previše soli, u krvnim žilama se zadržava dodatna voda. To povećava tlak unutar žila, što povećava rizik od srčanog i moždanog udara.
Kardiolozi savjetuju:
smanjite količinu dodane soli u jelima,
čitajte deklaracije na proizvodima,
izbjegavajte gotovu i prerađenu hranu,
birajte svježe namirnice i začine poput limunova soka ili začinskog bilja kao alternativu soli.
Kontrola krvnog tlaka počinje pravilnom prehranom, a promjena navika često je najjednostavniji, ali i najučinkovitiji korak prema zdravijem životu.

LJETNO osvježenje u moru nije rezervirano samo za ljude. Mnogi psi s veseljem uskaču u vodu čim im se pruži prilika. Takva je i ova simpatična pseća družina koju čine njemački ovčar Apollo i njegov mlađi, nešto nesigurniji krzneni brat, zlatni retriver Neptune. Dok Apollo bez straha pliva s vlasnikom, Neptune stoji na rubu čamca, željan da im se pridruži, ali nikako da se odvaži na skok.
U videu koji je objavljen na Instagram profilu @apollo_germanshepherd, psić maše repom, laje i nervozno trčkara uz rub čamca. Jasno je da jako želi skočiti i zaplivati s Apollom, ali svaki put u posljednji trenutak odustane. Vlasnici ga pokušavaju ohrabriti riječima i gestama, no Neptune ipak ostaje na suhom.

Iako nije uskočio u vodu, njegova upornost i simpatični pokušaji osvojili su korisnike društvenih mreža.
Ovaj video pokazuje koliko su i psi nalik ljudima – puni emocija, nesigurnosti i borbe sa strahovima. No s podrškom, ljubavlju i malo vremena, i najnesigurnije štene pronaći će svoj trenutak za veliki skok.

NOVI parfemi se danas lansiraju dosta često, ali rijetko koji miris uspije zadržati pažnju dulje od nekoliko sezona. Ipak, postoji jedan izuzetak koji je već više od jednog stoljeća nezaobilazna prisutnost u svijetu luksuza, mode i mirisa – Chanel N°5.
Od svog nastanka 1921. godine, ovaj kultni parfem nije samo preživio promjene trendova, nego ih je nerijetko i sam diktirao, a do danas je ostao najprodavaniji parfem na svijetu.
Dugovječan, luksuzan i univerzalan
Njegove gornje note čine ylang-ylang, bergamot, limun i aldehidi, srednje note čine jasmin, ruža, iris i đurđica, a bazne note sandalovina, vetiver, vanilija, hrastova mahovina, pačuli i ambra. Rezultat je čist i prepoznatljiv miris koji je obožavala i legendarna Marilyn Monroe.
Prema mišljenju Shannon Lawlor iz Who What Wear, Chanel N°5 je parfem koji unatoč svojoj dugoj povijesti i dalje uspijeva biti moderan, relevantan i neponovljiv.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Unatoč tome što mi je posao poznavati parfeme do u detalj, nebrojeno sam puta pitala nekoga što nosi, a odgovor je bio N°5. Nijedan parfem se ne može mjeriti s njegovom dugovječnošću, luksuzom i univerzalnom privlačnošću”, ističe Lawlor.

New Delhi, Jul 6 (PTI) Amazon sees a future centred around ‘collaborative robotics’ where machines are geared to amplify human capability and potential, rather than replace them, according to Tye Brady, chief technologist at the e-commerce giant’s robotics unit.
Amazon, which recently deployed one-millionth robot in its global operations and introduced ‘DeepFleet’, an AI technology to optimally coordinate movement of robots across fulfilment network (its intelligent warehouses), asserts that robotics will play a key role in building more capable societies.
The company has grown from deploying a single robot type that moved inventory shelves across warehouse floors in 2012, to operating a diverse fleet of robots aimed at boosting operational efficiency.
Amazon’s lineup of robots includes ‘Hercules’, which can lift and move up to 1,250 pounds of inventory, ‘Pegasus’ robots that use precision conveyor belts to handle individual packages, and ‘Proteus’.
‘Proteus’, in fact, is a fully autonomous mobile robot, that navigates around employees in open and unrestricted areas of Amazon sites while moving heavy carts filled with customer orders.
“I really believe that over the long term, we will have physical AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems that we are pioneering which will really change society for the better,” Tye Brady, chief technologist at Amazon Robotics, told reporters.
The future of robotics will ride on collaboration, that is, building machines that extend human capability and amplify human potential, Brady said, adding that Amazon sees robotics amplifying human impact, not replacing humans.
“We are pioneering a new body of work that we call ‘collaborative robotics’ and I really see that in the future. How can we build our machines to extend human capability, human potential? How can we build machines that are tools for people to use, for them to gain more efficiencies, whether you’re at work or at home. I think the work that we’re doing today in our fulfilment centres is forerunner to a greater societal impact that robotics will have with the mindset of putting people at the centre of robotics universe,” he said.
Speaking to reporters recently on the sidelines of Amazon ‘Delivering the Future’ event in Tokyo, that showcased the company’s latest innovations and technologies, Brady emphasised that the future isn’t about people competing with machines, but rather about people and machines working together.
“It’s not people versus machines but it is people and machines working together. And the onus is on us, the roboticists, to build those machines in a way that people naturally want to use, in a way that creates a safer environment, and to build them in a way that’s efficient and more productive for our customers,” he said.
Amazon last week announced it has deployed 1 millionth robot, building on its position as the world’s largest manufacturer and operator of mobile robotics. The robot was recently delivered to a fulfilment centre in Japan, joining global network that now spans over 300 facilities globally.
It also introduced a new generative AI foundation model to make the fleet of robots smarter and more efficient. Christened DeepFleet, the AI technology will coordinate the movement of robots across fulfilment network, improving the travel time of robotic fleet by 10 per cent and enabling the company to deliver packages to customers faster and at lower costs, Amazon said.
The company likened DeepFleet to a smart traffic control system. Much like intelligent traffic systems streamline car routes in a busy city and reduce delays for drivers, DeepFleet optimises robot movement, minimising congestion, raising efficiency, and boosting processing of customer orders, as per the company.
On public apprehensions about robots and AI eventually displacing global workforce, Brady said while change can feel uncomfortable to some, AI is the most transformative technology in his career.
“I’ve been in robotics for a while. It has taken us a long time to get to this stage where we’re actually doing utility and function with our machines that enable people to do things more efficiently, more safely. So, I would say the future is very bright,” Brady said, advocating that human potential can, indeed, be optimised through machines.
Directed by Madhumita Sundararaman, the film follows a middle-aged man battling a progressive degenerative illness who, upon discovering his family’s plans to abandon him, escapes into a local fair. During his journey, he forms a touching bond with an orphaned boy.
Kaalidhar Laapata also features Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and includes a special appearance by Nimrat Kaur. The film is the Hindi remake of Sundararaman’s acclaimed 2019 Tamil feature KD Engira Karuppudurai, which starred Mu Ramaswamy and was lauded by audiences for its emotional depth.
Abhishek Bachchan’s performance in the remake has been widely appreciated, adding to his growing reputation for taking on complex and layered roles.
Zerodha founder and CEO Nithin Kamath has cautioned that retail trading activity could be impacted if proprietary trading firms like Jane Street, which contribute nearly 50 per cent of options trading volumes, scale back their participation in the market.
This development could have negative implications for both exchanges and brokers, he added.
“Prop trading firms like Jane Street account for nearly 50% of options trading volumes. If they pull back – which seems likely – retail activity (~35%) could take a hit too. So this could be bad news for both exchanges and brokers,” Kamath said on X.
“The next few days will be telling. F&O volumes might reveal just how reliant we are on these prop giants,” he added.
In an order released in the early hours of Friday, the market regulator found Jane Street (JS), a New York-based hedge fund, guilty of manipulating the indices by taking bets in the cash, and, futures and options markets simultaneously for making handsome gains.
It has barred the hedge fund from accessing the market and impounded over Rs 4,843 crore in gains. The probe has found that JS made a profit of Rs 36,671 crore on a net basis during the probe period from January 2023 – May 2025.
Kamath said that if the allegations against Jane Street are true, it’s “blatant market manipulation” and despite warnings from the exchange, it continued.
“The shocking part? They kept at it even after receiving warnings from the exchanges. Maybe this is what happens when you’re used to the lenient U.S. regulatory regime. Think about the structure of U.S. markets: dark pools, payment for order flow, and other loopholes that allow hedge funds to make billions off retail investors.
“None of these practices would be allowed in India, thanks to our regulators, You’ve got to hand it to Sebi for going after Jane Street,” he added.
Pies piled with cloud-like whipped cream, cookies chewy and buttery, loaf cakes and cheesecakes bursting with ripe seasonal fruit: Walking into Fat + Flour is like entering a dessert dream world.
It hasn’t always been a dream world for founder Nicole Rucker: Her lauded bakery and cafe started as a means of survival after she closed her previous restaurant and, for a while, she fell out of love with baking.
But she found new ways to work, helping her to reembrace her trade and build Fat + Flour into the bakery powerhouse that it is today, with a cafe in Culver City and a stall within Grand Central Market. Her approach serves as the throughline in a just-published cookbook that includes some of her most popular recipes, along with entirely fresh ones.
With an eye toward streamlining ingredients and techniques, “Fat + Flour: The Art of a Simple Bake” is designed to share some of Rucker’s simplification journey, especially when it comes to her now-signature “Cold Butter Method,” or “CBM.” Butter doesn’t need to be tempered or creamed; save that time, Rucker says, to focus on other thoughts and tasks, and make life easier for yourself.

“It is really about not fighting against the fact that the world is different and we’ve got to do hard things,” Rucker says, “but we shouldn’t have to do so many hard things to enjoy something like a treat.”
While her 2019 cookbook, “Dappled,” focused on letting seasonality sing in fruit desserts, her latest dives into comforting classics done simply. Rucker reached back decades to pull inspiration for her latest book, including instant-pudding recipes of the 20th century. The instant dessert might have a “trashy” rap, she says, but in “Fat + Flour,” it forms the base of white chocolate banana cream pie, pistachio ambrosia pie, chocolate silk pie and more, and proves a money- and time-saving decision in an era of rising egg costs.
Some recipes call for the “cold oven” technique, a lesser-used method that doesn’t require preheating at all. It bakes sweets evenly — albeit longer — and allows for one less factor to track while cooking.
A few years ago, simplification became necessary for Rucker.
Toward the start of the pandemic she became disillusioned with what she calls “the daily chores of baking.” The Gjusta alum had recently closed her short-lived but acclaimed Fairfax restaurant and bakery, Fiona, and just as she debuted Fat + Flour, COVID-19 struck.

“The things that I found meaning in weren’t really giving me any meaning anymore, you know?” she asked. “It just felt like, ‘What’s the point of doing all of this?’”
In May 2020, with social distancing and other regulations, Rucker realized she and her team could no longer work together as closely as they had. Fortunately she was able to repossess a sheeter for rolling out dough that she’d originally purchased for Fiona, expediting workflow and cutting down on the number of people in the kitchen (who no longer had to prepare pie dough by hand).
Then an egg shortage, coupled with the price of butter quadrupling overnight, caused her to rework multiple recipes and flip a number of her cookies to plant-based — which are now some of Fat + Flour’s most popular items.
Reinvention saved Fat + Flour during the pandemic.
“I started to find baking processes that made me think, ‘OK, maybe this is a potential silver lining: Because everything’s changing, everything can actually change,’” Rucker said.
“We don’t have to hold on to these old-fashioned techniques that were things that brought us a false sense of pride, like doing everything by hand and struggling. Why the hell are we struggling? Why is struggling such a badge of pride? I just became very disinterested in the struggle mentality. And I was like, ‘I need things to be f—ing easy right now for me.’”
That’s not to say Rucker doesn’t still see the beauty and ritual in some of cooking’s more painstaking processes — hand-rolling dough for a single pie, hand-shaping fresh pasta — but when it came to building a sustainable business model, at scale, she needed to streamline.

Relying on some machinery, as opposed to an entirely handmade process, doesn’t lessen the final product, she says, despite years of being told it does. If bakers are intentional and maintain a high level of ingredient quality, their cookies, pies and cakes should taste just as delicious.
Rucker took note of older cake recipes that mention reverse creaming, essentially what she now calls the “Cold Butter Method.” In cakes it helps to produce a level bake, sans dome. Eventually she watched a YouTube video from London bakery Crumbs & Doilies, which tried to reverse-engineer the famous Levain cookies; the key technique was to avoid the full creaming of butter and sugar, leaving the butter still cold and forming a sort of sand-like dough base.
She reached out to friend and longtime D.C.-area baker and chef Pichet Ong, who confirmed the technique for cookies. She needed to try it. At a commercial level, to sell thousands of cookies each week, scraping mixing bowls of 10 to 15 pounds of butter and ensuring the even dispersal of sugar was time-consuming — and physically demanding.

After Rucker streamlined Fat + Flour’s cookies, she realized CBM could potentially work in her famous pie dough as well. Not only did it expedite the process but it made training her staff easier. Hands and wrists received a much-needed rest, especially during holiday pie orders, which require months of preparation for the bakery.
A more foolproof method, she said, also can help home bakers to feel less self-conscious about diving in, even when tackling mercurial pie dough.
“You’re taking out the part that everyone is the most nervous about, which is their body: Don’t touch it too much, and make sure you don’t have hot hands, and make sure you’re not scared, and, you know, make sure you don’t look at it the wrong way,” Rucker said. “And that is like, the lore of making pie dough that everyone has in the back of their minds. It’s this rhetoric, and it’s just so silly.”
Nicole Rucker will be cooking from “Fat + Flour: The Art of a Simple Bake” with a live demo at the L.A. Times Festival of Books on Sunday, April 27, from 2 to 3 p.m. on the Cooking Stage.

Indoor Antenna Tips and Tricks
How Do I Know Which Channels I Can Get?
So much about indoor antenna use comes down to location, from where you place the antenna in your home to where your home is geographically located and which broadcasts are available in your area. Before purchasing an antenna, I highly recommend checking out AntennaWeb.org, which can help determine which channels and what kind of broadcast quality and features you can expect.
If you live in a rural location, you may want to consider a high-powered outdoor antenna or other digital alternatives, as even the best indoor antennas may not help. Many smart TV systems from brands like Samsung, Roku, LG, and others offer free digital channels online, including news, sports, and reruns—lots and lots of reruns—from across the TV landscape.
What Channel Quality Is Available? What About ATSC 3.0?
For most areas, local channels are available in a mix of SD (Standard Definition) and HD (High Definition) at 720p or 1080i. All digital antennas also support the latest ATSC 3.0 standard which allows for “NextGen” TV channels, including support for modern features like 4K UHD resolution, HDR and Wide Color Gamut, and audio formats like Dolby Atmos. To take advantage of ATSC 3.0 broadcasts from an antenna, you’ll need a TV with an ATSC 3.0 tuner (most new TVs have one) or an adapter like this one, as well as a local broadcaster that supports the standard.
ATSC 3.0 is still in its nascent stages, and has been rolling out slowly. In our Oregon test area, ATSC 3.0 is available only in a limited fashion, and only a modest number of national broadcasts support features like HDR or 4K UHD resolution at present. To see if ATSC 3.0 is available in your area, you can peruse this map and check out the NextGen TV website for more info.
Where Should I Set Up My Antenna?
Your indoor antenna success rate and channel availability depend not only on your broadcast area, but also your home’s local terrain, layout, and other circumstances. After you’ve discovered which channels are technically available in your area, you’ll want to locate your home’s antenna sweet spot. This will take some trial and error, but a good rule of thumb is to set your antenna at or near a window facing your primary broadcast transmitters, as walls and other objects can cause interference.
When in doubt, raise your antenna higher. All the antennas we tested come with around 10 to 12 feet of reach, and you can easily extend that by purchasing some cheap coaxial cable. While some antennas are “unidirectional,” all the antennas we chose are multi-directional, designed to pick up signals from multiple stations and areas.
Does an Amplified Antenna Help?
The short answer is: maybe? We tested both amplified and older plug-and-play reference antennas in multiple areas, including in the middle of a moderately sized metro area and several miles outside it. Overall, we found little difference in the available channels or broadcast quality. That might change if you live 30-plus miles outside a broadcast area, or it might not, depending largely on geography. That said, most antennas currently available (and all of the ones on our current list) come with amplification.
Most amplified antennas we tested claim a 50- to 60-mile range from transmitters, but your mileage may vary. In some cases, amplification may even distort signals if you’re too close to the broadcast area, though we didn’t notice any such issues. Amplification can be turned off, but we got fewer channels when turning off amplified antennas than when using non-amplified antennas in the same area. As noted above, your first step is to check for what’s available in your area with a site like AntennaWeb.
One of the most notable findings in our testing was that the number of channels each antenna picks up may vary wildly between channel scans with (and sometimes without) a modest change in antenna position. That was especially true when it came to the NextGen channels available as a secondary option to some local channels in our test area. This was an odd discovery, since all digital antennas should technically be able to receive NextGen channels when tested with a TV/tuner that supports ATSC 3.0. In any case, to borrow a childhood idiom, if at first you don’t succeed on your channel-scanning journey, try, try, and try again.
If you start going down the antenna rabbit hole, you may find broadcast channels and antenna models listing UHF (ultra high frequency) and VHF (very high frequency) support. Essentially, all broadcast channels are separated into either the higher-frequency UHF band (where most modern digital channels reside) or VHF. VHF is generally a stronger signal over longer distances, but UHF is better for obstructions like buildings, and UHF channels are better optimized for the digital era. While some transmitters still use VHF, the majority of today’s channels broadcast over UHF. For most people it’s not something to worry about. While most of the models on our list technically support both bands, they’re likely to be optimized for UHF. You can find out more about UHF vs VHF here.
LJETO s duljim danima i obiljem svježih namirnica idealno je vrijeme za uvođenje jednostavnih promjena koje dugoročno podupiru zdravlje srca. Kardiolog dr. David Sabgir za Eating Well podijelio je pet ključnih savjeta koji su lako primjenjivi i u najaktivnijim ljetnim rasporedima.
“Topliji dani odlična su prilika za početak zdravih navika. Uravnotežena prehrana, kretanje i briga o načinu života imaju snažan utjecaj na zdravlje srca, bez obzira na dob”, ističe dr. Sabgir.
Uključite sezonsko voće i povrće u svaki obrok
Dr. Sabgir preporučuje svakodnevnu konzumaciju svježega sezonskog voća i povrća u kombinaciji s nemasnim izvorima proteina. Osobno ističe blitvu, špinat i kelj – lisnato povrće bogato vitaminom K i antioksidansima, koje može pomoći u snižavanju kolesterola, prenosi Eating Well.
Za doručak predlaže zobene pahuljice s bobičastim voćem, za ručak salatu s lisnatim povrćem, a večeru obogatiti lososom s roštilja i povrćem, ribljim tacosima ili pilećom salatom s avokadom.
Posebno naglašava dobrobit avokada: “Analiza sedam studija na 202 osobe pokazala je da prehrana s avokadom može smanjiti razinu kolesterola. Potrebna su daljnja istraživanja, ali nalazi potvrđuju da je avokado voće koje podržava zdravlje srca”, pojasnio je.
Hodajte kad god imate priliku
Hodanje je jednostavan, pristupačan oblik tjelesne aktivnosti koji doprinosi regulaciji šećera u krvi, poboljšanju probave, jačanju kognitivnih funkcija i, naravno, zdravlju srca. Liječnik ističe da “hodanje može smanjiti rizik od srčanih bolesti i moždanoga udara, regulirati tlak i kolesterol te ojačati mišiće i kosti”.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Iako je poznato pravilo 10 tisuća koraka dnevno, već i 3600 koraka dnevno, prema istraživanju iz 2024., može smanjiti rizik od zatajenja srca za 26 posto. Najvažnija je dosljednost, ističu iz Eating Well.
Održavajte jutarnju rutinu
Jutarnja rutina može pomoći u usvajanju zdravih navika koje traju cijeli dan. “Osobno dan započinjem hranjivim doručkom i brzom šetnjom. Unos zdravih masti i vlakana ujutro stvara dobar temelj za ostatak dana”, objašnjava dr. Sabgir. Priprema doručka unaprijed i jutarnje kretanje mogu pozitivno utjecati na raspoloženje i energiju.
Iskoristite sunce i boravak na otvorenom
Boravak na svježem zraku ljeti potiče fizičku aktivnost i proizvodnju vitamina D, što ima višestruke koristi. Kako objašnjava dr. Sabgir: “Boravak vani potiče kretanje poput hodanja, vrtlarenja, vožnje bicikla, a sunčeva svjetlost pomaže u sintezi vitamina D, koji ima ulogu u regulaciji krvnoga tlaka i jačanju imunološkoga sustava.”
Najvažnije: Budite dosljedni
Sve navedeno ima smisla samo ako se primjenjuje redovito. “Dosljednost je važnija od intenziteta. Male, održive promjene – u prehrani i fizičkoj aktivnosti – imaju veliki utjecaj”, naglašava Sabgir.
Preporučuje prehranu bogatu voćem, povrćem, cjelovitim žitaricama i nemasnim proteinima uz barem 150 minuta tjelesne aktivnosti tjedno. Najvažnije je, kaže, svakodnevno činiti nešto dobro za srce, a ne čekati da se pojave problemi.

Mumbai, July 6: Ollie Bearman has been handed a 10-place grid penalty for Sunday’s British Grand Prix following a red flag infringement during the weekend’s third and final practice hour. The session had already proven eventful for Bearman, the Haas driver earlier sparking a red flag after losing a piece of bodywork from his car out on track, which resulted in the marshals having to retrieve the part. But there was worse to come for the Briton when a second red flag was thrown in the latter stages, owing to Kick Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto spinning off and becoming beached in the gravel. F1 2025: Lando Norris Wins Austrian Grand Prix Ahead of Oscar Piastri, Charles Leclerc.
As he headed into the pit lane at the Silverstone Circuit, Bearman had a spin of his own and hit the barriers, losing the front wing from his VF-25 in the process. With the incident happening under red flag conditions, it was subsequently investigated by the stewards, who opted to hand the 20-year-old a grid drop of 10 places for Sunday’s race.
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc topped the timesheets during Saturday’s final practice session for the British Grand Prix, leading the way from Piastri, Verstappen and Norris, with Yuki Tsunoda an encouraging fifth for Red Bull, Bearman taking sixth, before making the mistake while entering the pitlane, and Albon putting Williams back into the top 10 positions.
Russell was the fastest of the Mercedes cars on a so far difficult weekend for the Silver Arrows, placing eighth over the Racing Bulls of Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson, Hamilton, and the other Williams and Haas machines of Carlos Sainz and Esteban Ocon.

Next up was Antonelli in 14th, as the Saubers of Nico Hulkenberg and Bortoleto, along with the Aston Martins and the Alpines, brought up the rear – Fernando Alonso placing in front of Franco Colapinto, Stroll, and Pierre Gasly. British driver Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time World Drivers’ Champion, won the 2024 British Grand Prix driving for Mercedes.

In the lead-up to Google’s anticipated Pixel 10 launch, a fresh leak has provided a clearer picture of the first-party accessories and product variants likely to debut alongside the next-generation smartphones, reported 9To5Google.
Among the most notable leaks are new audio accessories, expectedly expanded colour palettes, and larger storage configurations.
Pixel Buds 2a and Pro 2 colours tipped
According to information shared by a reliable tipster @MysteryLupin, the affordable Pixel Buds 2a are likely to arrive in four colours: Hazel (green), Strawberry (red), Iris (purple), and Fog Light (light blue), reported the 9To5Google.
These second-generation A-Series earbuds could follow the 2021 debut of the original Pixel Buds A-Series, which offered consumers a budget-friendly alternative in Google’s audio lineup.
In addition, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are expected to introduce a new shade called Sterling, likely a sleek grey tone designed to complement the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL models.
Pixel 10 Series: Expanded Storage and Colour Options
The leak also details storage and colour variants for the upcoming Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold devices. The report hints that Pixel 10 will likely be available in 128 GB and 256 GB variants, with colour options including Black, Obsidian, Blue, Frost, Purple, Indigo, Yellow, and Lemongrass.
Moreover, the Pixel 10 Pro is expected to come in 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB models. Colour choices could span Black, Obsidian, Green, Jade, Grey, Moonstone, White and Porcelain. The larger Pixel 10 Pro XL is anticipated to be offered in 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB capacities, with the same colour range as the standard Pro model. Notably, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is also tipped to launch in 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB variants, available in Grey, Moonstone, Green, and Jade.

This may also align with the previously rumoured “Pixelsnap Charger with Stand,” suggesting a refined approach to desktop wireless charging solutions.
Main Actor Nahi Hoon (I Am Not an Actor),” says Nawazuddin Siddiqui with absolute seriousness. Coming from a man who has just been awarded Best Actor for the very film in which he utters this line, the irony is difficult to miss—and perhaps, intentionally placed. It is not merely a line but the central theme of Aditya Kripalani’s new film, which interrogates the boundaries between performance and reality, acting and being. Siddiqui plays a retired banker who engages in a series of video call-based sessions with a struggling actor played by Chitrangada Satarupa. The conversations unfold at an unconventional acting workshop, where roles blur and truth unravels.
The story, shot entirely through virtual windows, strips cinema down to its barest elements: faces, words, and intention. It is also a film that turns its lens inward—not just into the lives of its characters but into the discipline of acting itself. Siddiqui, known for his raw and often minimalist performances, says he was drawn to the film not because of what it allowed him to do but what it forced him to undo. “The title itself caught my attention. If you ask a trained singer to sing off-key, they struggle. Their instinct is always to return to rhythm. Likewise, if you ask a seasoned actor to act like they can’t act, they find it hard to break out of the muscle memory. That was the challenge here.”
The exercise, he says, was one of unlearning. “To pretend to not know acting—when it’s what I’ve done my entire life—is to go against my own instincts. And to do that without looking fake, to make the audience believe I was someone unequipped with technique, required a very different approach. I had to believe it myself first.” For Siddiqui, belief is the cornerstone of craft. “You have to believe that this world you’re in is real. In this case, I had to believe I was someone who had never acted before. That belief had to come before anything else.”
Despite his success, Siddiqui remains deeply connected to the uncertainties that marked his early years. An alumnus of the National School of Drama, he began with minor, often overlooked roles in films like Sarfarosh and Munna Bhai MBBS. Recognition came gradually—first through Anurag Kashyap’s Black Friday and then more substantially with Peepli Live and Gangs of Wasseypur, the latter making him a definitive voice in the new wave of Hindi cinema.
Over the past decade, he has earned both acclaim and audience admiration for roles in Manto, Photograph, and the acclaimed Netflix series Sacred Games. Yet, for all his achievements, Siddiqui does not romanticise the industry. If anything, he is one of its most vocal critics. He speaks of a troubling creative stagnation, calling it a kind of “creatocracy”, a system where commerce replaces originality and comfort overrides experimentation. His concerns are not unfounded. “We’ve normalised lifting—from songs to scripts, from international cinema to the Southern film industries. Even some so-called cult films are nothing more than polished remakes. Where is the originality in that?” He also points to the increasing reliance on marketing gimmicks and manipulated success metrics.
“You can inflate numbers, buy good reviews, and even book your own shows to make a film seem like a hit. But you can’t sustain it. The audience is too intelligent now. They know the difference between what’s being sold and what’s being felt,” he adds.
Siddiqui, however, continues to carve his own path. His next film, Thama, a horror-comedy starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, promises yet another tonal shift in a filmography that resists categorisation.
As of June 2025, there are 176 manufacturers across India holding valid BIS licenses for protective helmets.

The Department of Consumer Affairs on Saturday urged consumers across the country to ensure they use only BIS-certified helmets. It has also called for strict enforcement and action against the manufacture or sale of helmets without BIS certification.
lt had earlier also written to District Collectors (DCs) and District Magistrates (DMs) to launch a nationwide campaign targeting manufacturers and retailers who sell non-compliant helmets for two-wheeler riders.
DoCA expressed concerns about many helmets especially on roadside being sold without BIS mark putting consumers at risk .
“With over 21 crore two-wheelers on Indian roads, rider safety is paramount. While wearing a helmet is mandatory under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, its effectiveness depends on quality. Sub-standard helmets compromise protection and defeat their purpose. To address this, a Quality Control Order has been in force since 2021, mandating ISI-marked helmets certified under BIS standards (IS 4151:2015) for all two-wheeler riders,” it said in a statement.
As of June 2025, there are 176 manufacturers across India holding valid BIS licenses for protective helmets.
“In the last financial year, over 500 helmet samples were tested and more than 30 search-and-seizure operations were carried out for misuse of the BIS Standard Mark. In one Delhi operation, over 2,500 non-compliant helmets were seized from nine manufacturers with expired or cancelled licences. Similar action at 17 retail and roadside locations led to the seizure of around 500 substandard helmets, with legal proceedings underway,” it added
BIS has also added a provision on the BIS Care App and BIS portal to enable consumers to check whether a helmet manufacturer is licensed or not, and also lodge a complaint.
The spacious kitchen of a rented house just off Melrose Avenue in Beverly Grove is in full 420 mode. The stovetop is dotted with Le Creuset cookware.

Out of the stoveside scrum steps a 30-something giving Audrey Hepburn vibes in a red shirt dress, pot-leaf print apron and a relaxed updo held in place with a white plastic clip. “We invited Chef Wendy [Zeng] and Chef Doug [Rankin] to come and cook for us,” Vanessa Lavorato tells a table of 10 dinner guests. “And we’ve got something to celebrate!”
Lavorato is the L.A.-based founder of Marigold Sweets (a line of sea-salt-flecked, THC-infused toffee caramels sold in local dispensaries), creator of “The Edibles Club” online cannabis cooking show and a recipe developer/brand ambassador for the Everclear alcohol brand. (Although the Everclear gig isn’t cannabis-related, there’s some synergy since the high-proof hooch has long been the go-to spirit for making infused tinctures.)
She’s feeling celebratory because this dinner party is being filmed as the pilot for a potential Vice Munchies reboot of “Bong Appétit,” the James Beard Award-nominated cannabis cooking show she co-hosted for three seasons.
Thoroughly blend equal parts hard science and kitchen skill. Add a responsible amount of weed and sprinkle enthusiastically with real-life experience. The result is a guide to cooking with the devil’s lettuce that’s flavorful, fun and fear-free.
(Julia Stotz)
Along with that, she has something else worthy of celebrating: Tuesday’s publication of her cookbook “How to Eat Weed and Have a Good Time: A Cannabis Cookbook” (Simon Element), the 256-page, lavishly illustrated culmination of a decade and a half of efforts to make cooking with — and consuming — the devil’s lettuce equal parts flavorful, fun and fear-free.
The “fear-free” part of that might not make a lot of sense unless you’ve accidentally overdone it on cannabis edibles or been responsible for someone else’s bumpy ride. As Lavorato memorably recounts in the book, she has done both: inadvertently doing herself in by way of an infused apple pie on one occasion and on another, an ex-boyfriend courtesy of a cross-contaminated paring knife.
“I started [cooking with cannabis] in 2010 [the year she founded Marigold Sweets], so that’s 15 years of dosing myself and dosing other people,” she said. “So I’ve seen a lot.”
That’s why whether she’s hosting a “Bong Appétit” dinner party, interacting with her more than 103,000 social media followers (97,400 on Instagram and another 5,600 on YouTube) or hosting a twice-weekly livestream sesh for her canna-cooking-curious Edibles Club, she makes sure those about to munch on infused foodstuffs from meatballs to Bloody Marys and cookies to queso know just how much psychoactive THC they’re about to ingest.
Cookbookwise, that means before presenting an assortment of easy-to-make toothsome recipes, there’s some science about the plant to learn. This includes how to prepare it for use in the kitchen (raw cannabis flower needs to be heated to a certain temperature — a process called decarboxylation — to make it psychoactive) and how to prepare what she calls the “mother infusions”: cannabis-infused butters, oils, alcohols and milks.
In a cooking demonstration video, Lavorato whips up a corndog batter using an oregano tincture made with Everclear. She explained that adding high-proof alcohol to the frying batter helps prevent grease from seeping in and results in a crispier texture.

As Lavorato acknowledges, one of the biggest challenges when it comes to cooking with the plant is knowing how much of the high-making magic one is consuming. To help establish reliable dosages of THC in her recipes, she worked with two local testing labs, Pasadena-based Encore Labs and Caligreen Laboratory in North Hollywood, conducting more than 200 tests along the way.
All of the recipes in the chapters that follow are built on those mother infusions and are organized by type: beverages, hors d’oeuvres, sauces and dips, drinks, snacks and the like. The final chapters focus on pulling it all together, suggesting ideas for entertaining and gifting based on this newly learned cornucopia of comestible cannabis knowledge.
Making the infusions requires very little beyond what’s already in your kitchen (you’ll find having an accurate digital scale, some cheesecloth and a roll of parchment paper helpful), and most of the recipes can easily be dispatched by anyone who knows their way around the kitchen.
In addition to the recipes themselves, you’ll find some eye-catching, color-popping images styled by Casey Dobbins and photographed by Julia Stotz (think floating meatballs, thrice-baked potatoes lounging on a tiny couch and pot-leaf-shaped shadows). The book also includes Lavorato’s own story, a brief history of the magical plant and a primer on why bongs and brownies hit differently.
The end result is a “Joy of Cooking” for the kitchen cannathusiast that’s the perfect launchpad for all kinds of herbal adventuring.
In advance of the book’s publication, I recently caught up with Lavorato (whom I first met almost a decade ago after falling in love with her infused confections) to talk about those 200 lab tests, her concept of ethical dosing, L.A. inspiration and rookie mistakes. Here are some excerpts from that conversation.
You launched the Edibles Club out of your Echo Park kitchen in 2020 — the same year you started this book project. Are the two related in any way? The Edibles Club has about 600 members now. They really helped me figure out what I wanted to say and what recipes really clicked. It was a way for me to to understand who my audience is. A lot of the questions they asked are answered in the book. That’s why I dedicated it to the Edibles Club — and to everyone who enjoys eating weed.
Was there anyone in the cooking or entertaining space who inspired the way you approached this book? The idea of putting together the various recipes and then putting together a party using those recipes came directly from Martha Stewart’s first book, “Entertaining.” I have a lot of respect for what she does and how her books are put together. They’re so in-depth and specific; she’s really trying to solve problems for people at home. And that’s exactly the [approach] I was going for with this book. I kept asking myself: “What would Martha do?”
When it comes to cooking with weed, what’s the biggest rookie mistake people make? It’s dumping too much weed into the butter. People think, “Oh, I can smoke an eighth [of an ounce] a day,” so that’s what they’ll use. But what they don’t know is that we waste a lot of THC when we smoke. And also that 11-hydroxy-THC [which is a result of metabolization through the liver] feels a lot stronger than Delta 9 [THC].

Which brings me to the concept of “ethical dosing” that you mention in the book. What exactly does that term mean? The main issue with a lot of food is the serving size. When you get a bag of chips and it says on the bag that there are five servings and each serving is three chips, who is eating three chips? Nobody. And that’s how you have to think about edibles. You need to dose them [low enough] so people can eat with grace. You have to think, “How much of this is someone going to eat?” I want to be able to socialize with my friends, still be able to talk to them. That’s why I try to have [recipes with] micro doses. … I’m really adamant about everyone knowing exactly what they’re getting. You want to avoid anyone becoming what I call a “cookie casualty.”
You point out in the book that you conducted over 200 lab tests while working on these recipes. What were those tests trying to accomplish? When someone says, “It takes this long to infuse butter,” my first question is: “Well, how do we know that?” I really wanted to know. So I worked with a lab to figure it out. And that’s how we ended up doing over 200 tests.
[Cannabis] is an ingredient, and I wanted to educate people [about] how to use it responsibly. What exactly are you trying to accomplish when you’re infusing butter? The answer is you’re trying to wash off the trichomes [on the surface of the plant material]. You’re just trying to wash it off. That’s it. You’re not trying to pull all the green out of the plant. Once people know what they’re actually doing and what they are trying to accomplish, it takes the mystery out of the process. It’s not that complicated.
Since you’ve lived in Los Angeles for 13 years, I’m curious if there’s any specific L.A. influence that made its way into the book? Yes! My [infused] salsa verde is inspired by the one at Taco Zone. It’s a little taco truck right by the Vons [grocery store] on Alvarado [Street] in Echo Park.
Now that your five-year-long project of working on “How to Eat Weed and Have a Good Time” is done, what’s next on the horizon? I’m already thinking about some ideas. I’m a cannabis chef. I could do an Italian cookbook or a chocolate cookbook. I have more to say about cooking with cannabis. There are more science experiments to be done. Maybe for my next book I’d look at it through the lens of health and day-to-day lifestyle.
Vanessa Lavorato will be signing copies of “How to Eat Weed and Have a Good Time: A Cannabis Cookbook” on Sunday, April 27, at 2 p.m. at the L.A. Times Food x Now Serving booth at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books.
“At first people thought I was crazy, but I couldn’t just watch the town fade away,” said Lombardi. “I started looking at the walls as blank canvases, which could be turned into something beautiful.”
The festival invited artists worldwide to paint murals, with six created at the first event in 2018.
Today, more than 140 murals can be seen around Stornara, in the Puglia region, with inspiring themes represented each year, including agriculture, migration within Italy and local life. Residents vote on the topics each year.

Tourism has surged 25% since 2020, SWNS said, sparking the opening of eight new businesses, including restaurants and B&Bs.
The population has stopped shrinking and is slowly growing again as young families move back, according to locals.
Café owner Antonio Maglione was about to close his business before the murals brought in crowds that made him learn to speak the word “welcome” in five different languages.
“The murals saved my business, but more than that, they saved our community,” Maglione said.

Rita Gensano returned after spending 20 years away.
She said initially, she felt like she’d walked into a ghost town.
“The murals saved my business, but more than that, they saved our community.”
“It felt like a sacrifice,” she said. “But it has become something extraordinary.”
Now a tour guide, she called Stornara “the coolest town in Italy.”
Retired olive farmer Salvatore Nappi said the murals helped residents regain their pride.
“We had lost our pride, but the murals reminded us that our town and our stories are worth celebrating,” SWNS reported.

While the percentage of women students enrolled at the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) in Lucknow and Calcutta has dropped since 2020, other centres of India’s premier business school have reported modest increases.
“I have observed that having mentors, seniors, role models, like, in this case, more women faculty, attracts younger women students,” said Narayanan Ramaswamy, partner and head of the education and skill development practice at KPMG in India.
“Older IIMs have a legacy and established procedures to follow. This makes any change to their current status more gradual compared to their newer counterparts. So while the established B-schools are making efforts to improve women enrolment, it is taking a tad longer for them,” Ramaswamy added.
The struggle to ensure more women students in India’s top B-schools comes even as companies emphasise diversity and inclusion while recruiting, making it crucial for management institutes to have a balanced gender ratio for better campus placements.
At IIM-Visakhapatnam, which was established in 2015, the number of women students has increased from 31% of all students in the 2020-22 batch to 51% in the latest 2025-27 batch. Other new IIMs, however, haven’t had similar success.
IIM-Ranchi, which was established in 2009, saw its gender ratio drop from 39.84% women students in the 2020-22 batch to 26.6% in the 2022-24 batch before rebounding to 41.56% in last year’s batch for the academic year 2024-26.
At IIM-Raipur, which was established in 2010, the percentage of women students dropped from 41% in 2020-22 to 40% last year. However, its 2023-25 batch had 60% women students.
The gender ratios for the Ranchi and Raipur school’s latest batch weren’t available.
A lopsided feeder pool
While the Kozhikode and Indore IIMs, both established in 1996, have more women students than men in their latest batch for the 2025-27 academic year, at IIM-Calcutta (of 1961 vintage) and IIM-Bangalore (1973), male students dominate.
At the Xavier School of Management, Jamshedpur (XLRI), which offers one-year MBA programmes, the number of women students has increased from about 37% in 2020-21 to about 46% in the incoming batch of 2025-26.
“This disparity in gender comes from the lopsided feeder pool as CAT (the Common Admission Test for the IIMs)—which is more quantitative and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) heavy—generally has more male takers than females,” said Avntika Tomar, partner at EY-Parthenon, education practice.
“Moreover, despite the campuses making efforts to improve the security and infrastructure of their campuses, the perception of some cities they are located in concerns parents as some of the IIMs are not located in the more desirable metro cities,” Tomar added.
In 2024, out of about 329,000 registered candidates for CAT, only about 119,000 were women.
In the past couple of years, IIMs have had to work harder to secure placements for their students because of a hiring freeze following a post-pandemic hiring frenzy.
The increasing corporate emphasis on diversity and inclusion, however, has India’s premier management schools looking for ways to encourage more women students to enrol.
“IIMs have been focusing more on enrolling more female students, especially with bonus marking,” said a senior official at one of the new IIMs. As part of the IIM admissions process, 2-10 additional points are awarded to women candidates. “This helps in the placement process as corporates prefer recruiting female candidates over men when they have the same merits and calibre,” the official said.

This deal is only on one color (Redtail Rust for men and Oxide Red for the women) and probably won’t last, but this is the lowest price we’ve seen for one of our favorite hiking rain jackets.
I have last year’s version of this jacket. The taped seams and welded construction keep wind and moisture at bay, and the side zip vents run all the way from the hem to the bicep, offering great ventilation when you’re moving (they’re also handy for getting at stuff in the pockets of your mid layers).
I don’t love my Houdini, but I find it extremely useful. It packs down to about the size of a tennis ball, it’s light, and it’ll stop the wind and shed a light rain, which has earned it a permanent spot in my day hiking kit. Still, as my editor writes in our rain jacket guide, “it rustles, it’s not too breathable, and I feel like I’m wearing a plastic bag.” Note that this deal is only available on select colors.

The Rainier is our favorite budget rain jacket, especially so on sale. The Rainier uses high-quality three-layer, seam-taped, laminate waterproofing (a rarity at this price), and the DWR coating is non-fluorinated (no PFAS). It has features like venting pit zips, a weatherproof center zip, and features an adjustable, packable hood.
This is a classic rain jacket. Go camping in Oregon in the rain, and you’ll find everyone standing around in their identical Betas. The AR (for “all-round”) is the beefiest of Arc’teryx’s Beta jackets. The combination of 40-denier fabric (with 80D reinforced areas) and Gore-Tex Pro 3L membrane make this not just highly waterproof, but very durable as well. This deal is limited to one color and is going fast.
This North Face fleece jacket features in our upcoming guide to mid-layers. The stretchy, recycled midweight fleece is perfect for cool mornings and evenings in the shoulder seasons. It offers a good range of motion, though the sleeves are elastic, which some people will not like. I like this fleece, though, because it’s not overly technical looking, you can wear it around town or when belaying.
The Rab Cinder Phantom is our favorite rain jacket for cycling. It solves almost all my issues with rain gear—it’s incredibly light (3.3 ounces/114 grams for a medium), stuffs down to about the size of a tennis ball, and is somehow surprisingly waterproof. It will eventually wet out, but it takes quite a downpour.

When the weather gets down well below freezing, and the wind makes your cheeks burn, this is the jacket I turn to. With a base layer at the bottom, a wool sweater over that, then this jacket, I was toasty warm walking in the early morning chill of winter (usually –10 Fahrenheit in January). The shell is lightweight (20D) Pertex ripstop nylon that’s nicely windproof and water-resistant. For some reason, only the women’s jacket is on sale.
Patagonia’s Nano Puff is beloved by everyone who lives places that don’t actually have winter. Just kidding. Sort of. I live in northern Wisconsin and the window of time where this jacket is useful is short, but it’s a nice option for cool fall days. If you do need something warmer, check out our puffer jacket guide.
If you live in a cold climate, even if it’s not quite Canada, you need this shirt. It’s your classic, ultrawarm wool shirt. Sorry, shirt jacket. Whatever it is, it’s warm, cozy, and comfy. Don’t let the wool scare you, it’s not itchy.

The best midweight base layer we’ve tested, this Smartwool shirt is perfect for chilly spring and fall mornings. It’s comfortable, though tending to be looser fitting, which is something to keep in mind when layering. The heavy-duty seams (read: sturdier, longer lasting) don’t rub, and sit off the shoulder for more comfort when wearing a pack. At 87 percent merino wool (blended with nylon), these are also very durable while remaining lightweight (10.3 ounces for a men’s large).
An honorable mention from our merino wool t-shirt guide, this Smartwool t-shirt is cousin the long sleeve above. It’s lighter than that one, and soft and comfy. It’s a merino blend, 88 percent merino wool and 12 percent nylon, which makes it more durable than pure merino—mine is going on three years now with not a hole in sight. As with many of these apparel deals the sale price is only on select colors, but if you like the colors on sale this is a good way to build up your merino collection without spending a fortune.

Huckberry’s Proof 72-hour Merino T-shirt ranks high in our guide to merino T-shirts. It’s soft, and the classic fit is loose and comfortable. It doesn’t look overly “sporty,” the way many merino T-shirts do (though there is a slim fit version also on sale for $52 ($20 off) if you prefer that style). This shirt is 87 percent merino wool and 13 percent nylon, which gives it a bit of extra stretch.
I bought this during the REI Anniversary sale in May and have been very happy with it. It’s too hot for it now, but a cool spring gave me a chance to wear it for a good week. It’s slightly oversized, but very soft, stretchy, and comfortable. I mean it’s a merino wool beanie; hard to go wrong with one of those. And it’s Fjällräven, so it’s well-made and should last a very long time.
I bought my father, father-in-law, brother-in-law, and husband each one of these shirts last year. Roark Clothing is a small company that makes some of my favorite active apparel, and the Bless Up shirt is the perfect summer shirt. It’s perforated and made from synthetic fibers, so it’s perfect for super-humid beach days when the temperatures are above 90 degrees. —Adrienne So

This is another deal that’s only on one color, but REI’s 650 puffy jacket (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best budget three-season puffy you can buy, more so at this price. At 10.9 ounces it’s reasonably lightweight and has large hand pockets and some very nice internal pockets for stashing a hat or gloves.
You can’t go wrong with a pair of Darn Tough merino wool socks. These are a merino blend, 52 percent nylon, 45 percent merino wool, 3 percent spandex. That’s makes them nice and stretchy, as well as more durable than 100 percent merino, but the nylon does mean you can’t wear them as long without washing, I find about 2 days max for blends like this.
Running Gear Deals

Our top-rated running shoes are now on sale because the latest version, the Endorphin Speed 5, just came out. However, reviewer Kieran Alger has run thousands of miles in this version and can vouch for their light, snappy ride.
These are consumer tech director Michael Calore’s favorite running shoes, and one of our top picks for shoes with the most stability.

Deals on Backpacking Gear

This deal is a combo of our top-pick backpacking water filter and our top-pick water bladder. As the name suggests, the Sawyer is a squeeze filter, but paired with the Cnoc it turns into a gravity filter when you have the time. When I’m not testing something else, this is the filtration system I use, and it’s never let me down. If you don’t want the Cnoc bladder for some reason, the Sawyer is also on sale for $35 ($10 off).
Heading into bear country this summer? You’ll very likely need a bear-resistant way to store your food. In my experience, the BV500 from Bear Vault is the most widely approved option (though always check with the rangers in the area). At 700 cubic inches, the BV500 has room for about three to five days of food for two (depending on how well you pack). It does weigh almost 3 pounds, and it’s a bummer to carry, but when you need it, you need it—might as well grab one when it’s a little cheaper.
I’m not sure this really qualifies for the “ultralight” moniker, and these pots are unfortunately marred by having a ton of fake influencer reviews out there, but they’re actually quite good. The hard-anodized aluminum is sturdy and provides good heat transfer. The ceramic nonstick coating makes for easy cleanup (especially paired with the GSI scraper below).
Still the most useful piece of backpacking gear I own, GSI’s pot scraper is the unsung hero of backcountry cooking, turning cleanup from a tedious chore to a couple of seconds’ work. Now, if you seriously burn something, this thing will not save you (boil water in the pan to loosen the burnt bits), but for every other situation, scraping down your pot with this tool will get you 99 percent of the way to a clean pot.
While I love my Junction pack (see above), were I buying today, I would get the Southwest. The only real difference is the outer rear pocket, which is mesh in the Junction and Dyneema in the Southwest. Turns out I never dry wet gear in the mesh, and I have found it snags on things more than I’d like. If you don’t need the mesh, the Southwest is the pack to get. Again, I’d go 55 liters, but if I were only doing solo trips, the 40 liters should be plenty.
This has been my backpack of choice for the past five years. It’s light, durable (it’s made of Dyneema), and carries loads of up to about 35 pounds in comfort. The rear mesh pocket gives you a place to stash wet gear, and a water-repellent outer means your gear doesn’t get wet (there may be limits to this, but I’ve never had a problem). My only regret is that I didn’t get the 55 liters (also on sale for $340 ($60 off)), so I could fit a little more gear when backpacking with my kids.
Sea to Summit’s entire line of tents is on sale right now. The ultralight Alto (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is designed to keep weight down on your solo adventures. At just 33 ounces for a semi-freestanding tent, it remains one of the lighter options on the market, and at this price it’s hard to pass up.
Photograph: Scott Gilbertson
Six Moon Design’s Lunar Solo (7/10, WIRED Review) is my favorite single-wall ultralight solo tent. It’s not without its quirks (read the pitching tips), but if you want something more than a tarp, that still weighs just 26 ounces (740 grams), this one is hard to beat.
This is the first REI 4th of July sale I’ve seen in years where Big Agnes Copper Spur tents aren’t on sale. This is the lone Copper Spur deal, on the giant five-person version that somehow still manages to weigh just 6 pounds, 14 ounces. As will all Copper Spur tents, four people will be more comfortable, but five will technically fit.
There are lighter 1-person tents out there, but the MSR Elixir is strong, quick to set up, and surprisingly roomy for a 1-person tent. The improved fabric coatings in this latest version have held up well to a couple of Lake Superior storms, and I really like the interior pockets and the all-metal corner hardware. Setup is a snap.
The Petzl Tikka is the best headlamp you can buy. I’ve had the same Petzl Tikka for 14 years, and it’s still going strong. The Tikka is not the brightest, topping out at 450 lumens, but it’s plenty of light to cook by in the backcountry. The deal is on the Core model, which features Petzl’s rechargeable battery (there’s a Micro USB port on the battery), but it can also run on any old AAA batteries.

The Zenbivy Bed 25 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is hands-down the most comfortable backcountry sleeping experience I’ve ever had. It wouldn’t be my top pick for extreme situations, but so long as your expected temperatures fit in Zenbivy’s range (the comfort rating is 35 degrees Fahrenheit), it doesn’t get more comfortable than this. The Zenbivy isn’t just a sleeping bag. It’s a sheet, hood, and quilt-style bag that can be combined in various ways.
Zenbivy’s Light Bed is a brand-new option that takes the basic clip design of other Zenbivy beds and lightens up the load. I’ve been testing this bag for several months, and it is everything I loved about the original above, but lighter weight. I’ll have a full review very soon, but if you’ve been tempted by the Zenbivy, but wanted to keep your base gear weight down, this is the option you’ve been looking for.
It’s no longer our top pick for side sleepers, but the Questar remains a good option for those who want more room. It uses what Therm-a-Rest calls W.A.R.M. fit, which stands for “with additional room for multiple” positions. Indeed, this bag is very roomy for a mummy design. I was able to draw my legs up when side-sleeping and spread out considerably more than with most of the other sleeping bags I’ve tested.

Sea to Summit’s Ether Light XT is only marginally heavier than the Therm-a-Rest above. The extra 4 ounces for the Sea to Summit pad gets you quite a bit more cushion too—this is a 4-inch thick pad, compared to the 3 inches of the Therm-a-rest X-Lite, which makes this a better ultralight option for side sleepers. I also like the baffle design better, and it seems to be a little more durable, making this an excellent alternative ultralight pad. Note that this one is an REI Outlet deal; the XT has been replaced by a newer model.
The best super comfy car camping pad you can buy, the MondoKing is the most comfortable, deluxe mattress in the Therm-a-rest line, the flagship for picky car campers and those who are stationary in the backcountry for weeks or months at a time. This burly mat is 4 inches thick and weighs 4 pounds, offering plenty of cushioning and support. You won’t want to lug it far, but even a large-bodied side sleeper won’t bottom out.
Closed-cell-foam pads like the Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite Sol are a must-have. They weigh next to nothing (10 ounces for the small), fold up small enough to lash to the outside of any pack, and double as a chair, extra padding on cold nights, table, you name it. I am too old and too soft to be the sort of ultra-minimalist who gets by with just a Z-Lite, but I still have one around on almost every trip I take.

REI’s Siesta is great budget sleeping bag. The 98 percent recycled polyester fill is rated to 20 degrees, which is good enough for 3-season car camping trips. I would use something warmer if you’re expecting below freezing temps. That said, the Siesta’s hood really helps on colder nights. My favorite feature though, the reason it’s our top pick for car camping, is the full length zipper, which allows you to turn it into a quilt on warmer nights.

As noted above, you don’t have to be an REI member to get most of these deals, but there are some extra perks, like this deal. REI members can save 20 percent off anything Yeti. Grab our top-pick cooler, the Yeti Tundra Haul Wheeled Cooler, or that pricey but very nice water bottle you’ve always wanted, the Yeti Yonder.
This chair is the coziest way to hang out around camp. It is somewhat huge, heavy, and awkward to fold up and carry, but so long as you have room for it in your vehicle, there’s no better way to relax around the fire with your loved ones.
This deal is only available on the almost blinding Firefly Yellow color, but if that works for you, this is the best price we’ve ever seen on the Roadie 32. The Roadie coolers aren’t quite as robust as the Yeti Tundra, but they’re great for camping.

Cannondale’s Adventure Neo line (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a 250-watt Bafang motor with a Bafang sensor and a thumb throttle, which makes it a class 2 ebike (it tops out at 20 mph assist). It’s not the most powerful bike we’ve tested, but it features reliable components from Shimano and Bosch along with great shocks and a suspension seat post.
This is the adult-size version of our favorite kid’s mountain bike. REI’s hardtail comes with XS–S 27.5 x 2.6-inch wheels in the XS and S sizes, and 29 x 2.6 for the M-XL sizes. The SR Suntour XCM 120-mm coil fork has a 15-mm thru axle and 110-mm boost, making it good at cornering, but also offering pretty solid durability. It’s got hydraulic disc brakes (Shimano MT200) for precise control and microSHIFT ADVENT x 1 x 10 drivetrain, which shifts nicely. The heavier-duty DRT 1.3 bike is also on sale for $1,200 ($200 off).

I have yet to do a trip with a satellite communicator, but I do understand why people use them. If I were to bring one along, this is the one I’d get. It’s tiny, light (3.5 ounces), and easily stashable. It utilizes the super-fast Iridium satellite network, so you can send a rapid SOS from pretty much anywhere. There are extra features like waypoints and interval tracking, and it plays nice with compatible Garmin watches.
Garmin’s Forerunner 265 is excellent multisport watch, with 30+ built-in activity profiles including everything from running to open water swimming. It’s got a very nice, vibrant AMOLED touchscreen, and it can deliver reliable heart rate metrics during workouts, which is why it’s our top pick watch in our best heart rate monitors guide.

It’s watersports season. If you don’t have a paddle board, it’s time to invest. My favorite paddleboard for lazy days paddling at the lake, this Bote is large and stable, making it great for beginners. Despite that it’s surprisingly nimble and easy to steer, with very good tracking ability. I also love the two-in-one kayak/SUP hybrid design, which means you can turn it into a full fishing rig with Bote’s various add-ons.
Oru’s foldable kayaks are genius—all the boat, none of the size. The Lake is light, reasonably fast, and the cheapest way to get into the world of folding kayaks. As with all Oru’s offerings, the Lake folds origami-style into a roughly 30-inch square that’s just 15 inches deep—small enough to fit in a car trunk or hall closet.
The ultralight backpacking company Gossamer Gear is now making travel products, like these awesome packing cubes. As you would expect these are lightweight, but what makes them the most versatile cube set you can get is the wide range of options here. The half- and full-size cubes have compression, mesh, and sturdy pull zippers. The dual-chamber dirty/clean cube has a shocking 15-liter capacity and the dirty side seals off. —Adrienne So

Osprey’s venerable Talon packs have long had a spot in our guide to the best day-hiking packs. The 100-denier high-tenacity nylon (Bluesign-approved) outer shell is durable and light, and the dual panel access makes it easy to get to your stuff. There are eight pockets all told, which means you have plenty of space, inside and out, to stash all your gear. The Osprey Talon 33 is also on sale $120 ($40 off)
I haven’t had a chance to play with this one much, but if you like having some extra chest storage space this Mystery Ranch pocket is good way to go. It’s works perfect with Mystery Ranch packs, but the clips should work with just about any pack that has a little webbing on the shoulder straps.

The REI Co-op brand Kingdom 6 tent was a long time favorite around here, alas REI discontinued the Kingdom 6 and replaced it with two tents: The Wonderland 6 and the REI Base Camp 6. The Wonderland 6 has more mesh, which makes it a better choice for summer trips. We’ll be testing both very soon, but based on my experience with the very similar Kingdom, this is a solid deal on a good tent.
I like Kelty’s tarp tent, though I have the 9-foot version and really wish I had the 12, which is what I’ve linked to here. It has stood up well in 20- to 30-mile-per-hour winds in the Outer Banks, and kept the rain off in the deep north woods of Wisconsin. If you plan to use it in a treeless area like the beach, be sure to pick up the poles, which are sold separately.

This is the best-smelling bug repellent that uses oil-of-lemon eucalyptus. Reviewer Kristin Canning notes that the spray comes out even and fine and much less intense-smelling than other sprays she tried. It offers about six hours of protection.
Our favorite way to avoid the green propane bottles is this gas growler. This model gets you a 1.2-pound propane tank with a nice padded/insulated sleeve and a handy strap for carrying, and it makes your camp setup look much nicer than a bare tank. It also saves your shins during those inevitable run-ins with cold hard steel that come from lugging around a big propane tank. This size is the equivalent of five green propane bottles.
Permethrin is a bug repellent you can apply to clothing, and theoretically other gear, although I do not recommend it on nylon tents. Still, if you want serious bug repellent spraying Permethrin on your clothes is the way to go.
ZDRAVE i prohodne arterije ključ su za pravilno funkcioniranje organizma. Kada su arterije začepljene, krv ne može slobodno cirkulirati, a to povećava rizik od srčanog i moždanog udara. Jedan od glavnih uzroka začepljenja je ateroskleroza, stanje kod kojeg se plak (mješavina lošeg kolesterola, masti, kalcija i staničnog otpada) nakuplja u stijenkama arterija.
Iako se često govori o preventivnom učinku aspirina, nova istraživanja pokazuju da određene prirodne tvari, posebno omega-3 masne kiseline, mogu imati značajan učinak na zdravlje krvnih žila. No, za razliku od popularnih savjeta s društvenih mreža, važno je osloniti se na provjerene podatke i kliničke studije.
EPA – omega-3 masna kiselina s dokazanim učinkom
Jedan od najistraženijih oblika omega-3 masnih kiselina je EPA (eikozapentaenska kiselina). Prema kliničkoj studiji objavljenoj u časopisu New England Journal of Medicine, visoke doze EPA mogu značajno smanjiti rizik od srčanih i moždanih udara.
U toj studiji, bolesnici s povišenim trigliceridima koji su već uzimali statine imali su 25% manji rizik od kardiovaskularnih incidenata (uključujući srčani udar i moždani udar), značajno smanjenje ukupnog volumena plaka u arterijama i smanjenje upalnih procesa u krvnim žilama.
Što EPA zapravo radi u tijelu?
EPA djeluje na više razina:
Smanjuje razinu triglicerida, masti koje povećavaju rizik od srčanih bolesti,
Stabilizira plak u arterijama, čime se smanjuje vjerojatnost pucanja plaka i nastanka krvnog ugruška,
Smanjuje upalu, jedan od glavnih uzročnika oštećenja krvnih žila,
Čini trombocite manje “ljepljivima”, što smanjuje rizik od stvaranja ugrušaka – slično kao aspirin, ali s manje nuspojava.
Za razliku od aspirina, koji ne uklanja plak već samo smanjuje rizik od tromboze, EPA djeluje i na samu stabilnost plaka, što ga čini posebno vrijednim u prevenciji kardiovaskularnih bolesti.
Koja je najbolja hrana bogata EPA-om?
Najbolji prirodni izvori EPA-e su masne ribe, uključujući losos, skušu, haringu, sardine i inćune.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Također, ulje jetre bakalara (poznato kao cod liver oil) sadrži visoke količine EPA, ali i dodatne vitamine A i D koji dodatno podržavaju zdravlje krvnih žila. Vitamin D, prema istraživanju objavljenom u časopisu Atherosclerosis, smanjuje kalcifikaciju arterija i povećava razinu dušikova oksida, što pospješuje elastičnost krvnih žila.
A što je s dodacima prehrani?
Dodaci ribljeg ulja koji sadrže EPA i DHA mogu pomoći u snižavanju triglicerida, no njihov učinak na prevenciju srčanih bolesti kod zdravih ljudi ostaje nejasan. Nekoliko velikih metaanaliza pokazalo je proturječne rezultate, a pojedine studije čak povezuju dodatke ribljeg ulja s povećanim rizikom od fibrilacije atrija kod starijih osoba.
Zato stručnjaci preporučuju unos masne ribe 1-3 puta tjedno kao najprirodniji i najsigurniji način unosa omega-3 masnih kiselina i konzultaciju s liječnikom prije uzimanja dodataka, osobito ako već uzimate aspirin ili imate druge dijagnoze.
Iako aspirin ima važnu ulogu u prevenciji srčanih i moždanih udara kod određenih pacijenata, omega-3 masna kiselina EPA pokazuje snažan učinak u smanjenju rizika od kardiovaskularnih bolesti.
Za većinu ljudi najbolja je prevencija još uvijek jednostavna:
zdrava prehrana bogata masnom ribom,
fizička aktivnost,
kontrola kolesterola i krvnog tlaka,
prestanak pušenja i smanjenje stresa.
Prije bilo kakve promjene u terapiji ili uvođenja dodataka prehrani, uvijek se posavjetujte s liječnikom.

Mumbai, July 5: Indian cuisine has earned a place on the global gastronomic map with six Indian cities featured in the recently released TasteAtlas ‘100 Best Food Cities in the World’ report, led by Mumbai, which secured an impressive 5th place, making it the highest-ranked Indian city on the list.
Mumbai trails only behind four Italian culinary powerhouses, Naples, Milan, Bologna, and Florence, and is the only Indian city in the top 10, sharing global recognition with food capitals like Rome, Paris, Vienna, and Osaka. Mumbai Tops the List of World’s Best City to Date and Find Love in 2025.
Mumbai Ranked Among ‘100 Best Food Cities in the World’
India’s food diversity was further celebrated with Amritsar (43), Delhi (45), Hyderabad (50), Kolkata (71), and Chennai (75) also making it to the top 100. The ranking acknowledges each city’s rich culinary legacy, from the street-side stalls to the royal kitchens of the past.
In Mumbai, the food scene is a heady mix of regional Maharashtrian staples like vada pav and misal, South Indian favourites like dosa and filter coffee, and North Indian classics including chole bhature, all served with the city’s signature cosmopolitan flair. Is There Sunday Mega Block on July 6, 2025? Will Mumbai Local Train Services Be Affected on Central, Western and Harbour Lines? All You Need To Know.
Amritsar’s tandoori delights, Delhi’s Mughlai richness, Hyderabad’s poetic biryani, Kolkata’s kathi rolls and sweets, and Chennai’s iconic idli-dosa-filter coffee trio reflect the depth and diversity of Indian food culture.
Food historian Alok Singh explains that what makes Indian cuisine stand out is its ability to craft distinct regional identities using a shared base of ingredients like rice, lentils, and spices. “The techniques, proportions, and cultural contexts vary dramatically, giving each region its own culinary fingerprint,” he said.
Historical and cultural influences have also shaped many of India’s signature dishes. Hyderabadi biryani, for instance, traces its roots to Persian and Mughal traditions, while Lucknow’s kebabs and kormas evolved under the royal Awadhi kitchens.

PROTIVNO uobičajenoj percepciji da mačke ne vole vodu, neke pasmine zapravo rado plivaju, prskaju se i igraju se u vodi. Iako su takve mačke rijetke, one postoje i njihov interes prema vodi nije trik, već evolucijska i genetska predispozicija.
1. Turska van mačka
Turska van mačka potječe iz regije oko jezera Van u Turskoj. Zbog vodootpornog krzna i urođene znatiželje prema vodi, ova pasmina je poznata kao prava “ljubiteljica vode” i ponekad čak pliva. Njeno krzno ljeti brzo suši, pa ne iznenađuje da rado skokne u kadu ili bazen.
2. Bengalska mačka
Bengalska mačka, zbog uzgoja s azijskom leopard mačkom, često pokazuje divlji, znatiželjan temperament. mnoge pripadnice te pasmine vole prskati vodu, igrati se vodom iz slavine, a neki vlasnici čak navode da se voljno približavaju kadama s vodom.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
3. Maine coon
Iako je veća i gordija pasmina, maine coon ima gustu i vodootpornu dlaku. Ove mačke često znaju miješati šapice u zdjelice, piti iz slavine, a uz određenu količinu poticanja, moguće je da se odvaže i na igru s vodom.
4. Norveška šumska mačka
Porijeklom iz hladne i vlažne sjeverne klime, norveške šumske mačke imaju dvostruko vodootporno krzno. Iako obično ne plivaju, one pokazuju znatnu toleranciju na vodu i nerijetko istražuju mokre površine ili prostorije nakon tuširanja.
5. Abesinska mačka
Najstarija poznata pasmina domaćih mačaka, abesinka, izuzetno je razigrana i znatiželjna. Često pokazuje interes za kapljanje vode, slavine i vodene fontane doma.
Zašto neke mačke vole vodu?
Okolišni utjecaj: Pasmine poput turskih van i norveških šumskih mačaka potječu iz regija s puno vode i vlage, pa su se prilagodile na vlažni okoliš.
Genetika i građa dlake: Vodootporna dlaka olakšava igru s vodom bez straha od prehlade ili neugodnosti.
Individualan temperament: Razigranost, inteligencija i radoznalost igraju važnu ulogu – neke mačke po prirodi vole istraživati sve, pa i vodu.
Savjeti ako vaša mačka voli vodu
Osigurajte joj siguran pristup vodi, korištenjem nemetalnih zdjelica ili fontana za mačke.
Postavite slavinu na lako dostupno mjesto – neke mačke preferiraju piti vodu iz tekućeg izvora.
Ako voli tuširanje ili kupanje, dopustite joj da uđe pod nadzorom, ali bez forsiranja.
Ponudite interaktivne vodene igračke – npr. male posude s plutajućim igračkama.

DANAS se održava veliki koncert Marka Perkovića Thompsona na Hipodromu u Zagrebu, a posebnu pažnju privlače modna izdanja fanova – zelene (i poneke crne) beretke, hrvatske zastave i crne majice čine se neizostavnim dijelom outfita.
Danima uoči koncerta prodavale su se razne majice i drugi odjevni komadi inspirirani Thompsonom i samim događajem. Neki su se mogli pronaći čak i u zagrebačkoj Nami, a prodavao se i službeni merch koji se iznenada uoči koncerta pojavio u Kauflandu te knjižari Dominović.
Vladala je navala na štandove s rekvizitima
I danas, na sam dan koncerta, štandovi s rekvizitima mogu se pronaći na više lokacija u Zagrebu, a u ponudi je svega – od zastava do beretki. Kako doznajemo od naših reportera s terena, upravo na tim gradskim štandovima vladala je prava navala. S druge strane, na samom Hipodromu, u fan zoni, dostupne su službene Hodočasnik majice po cijeni od 35 eura i suveniri poput čaša za 2 eura.
“Josip i 500.000 Hrvata na Hipodromu”
Pregledom fotografija iz centra Zagreba i s Bundeka, kao što smo već spomenuli, vidljivo je da mnogi Thompsonovi fanovi nose crne majice s raznim natpisima, a neki ih kombiniraju i sa zastavama omotanima oko struka poput suknje.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
A što piše na tim majicama? Svašta. Jedna skupina obožavatelja, primjerice, na stražnjoj strani majica imala je otisnuto vlastito ime uz tekst: “Josip i 500.000 Hrvata na Hipodromu, 5.7.2025.” – kod drugih je, naravno, ime bilo prilagođeno osobi koja majicu nosi.
Neki posjetitelji nosili su majice s ispisanim stihovima Thompsonove pjesme Ako ne znaš što je bilo, dok su drugi birali natpise s imenima mjesta iz kojih dolaze – poput Rame, Ogulina, Vukovara i Virovitice. Viđene su i majice s hrvatskom trobojnicom i natpisom “Mi Hrvati”, kao i porukama poput “Upitaj heroje” i “Bog i Hrvati”.
Dvije djevojke su nosile crne majice s referencom na Oluju. Na prednjoj strani stajao je natpis: “Kad krenemo, gorit će nebo i zemlja. Oluja.” Druge dvije prijateljice nosile su usklađene crne majice – jedna s natpisom “Jedna duša”, a druga s “a nas dvije”. Fotke možete vidjeti u galeriji.
Modni izričaj Thompsonovih fanova je upečatljiv
Uz crne majice s raznim porukama, jednako su se isticale i one s crveno-bijelim kockicama. Bez obzira na natpise, uzorke i boje, jedno je sigurno – modni izričaj Thompsonovih fanova ne prolazi nezapaženo.

What is a 2-in-1 laptop and how is it different from a regular laptop?
A 2-in-1 laptop is a hybrid device that combines the features of a laptop and a tablet. It has a touchscreen and can be folded or detached to switch between typing and touch-based modes. Unlike traditional laptops, 2-in-1s offer flexibility, ideal for drawing, streaming, or note-taking. You get the power of a laptop and the convenience of a tablet in one device, making it useful for students, designers, or multitaskers on the go.
Are 2-in-1 laptops good for students and working professionals?
Yes, 2-in-1 laptops are great for students and professionals. They’re lightweight, portable, and offer touch and pen input, which is perfect for taking notes, sketching, or giving presentations. The keyboard lets you do typical work tasks, while tablet mode is ideal for reading or entertainment. They’re especially useful in hybrid learning or remote work setups, where switching between formats improves productivity and comfort. Many models also come with stylus support for added creativity and control.
Can I use a 2-in-1 laptop for gaming or video editing?
Some high-performance 2-in-1 laptops can handle light gaming and basic video editing, especially those with powerful processors, ample RAM, and integrated or entry-level dedicated GPUs. However, they’re not designed to replace gaming rigs or high-end editing stations. For casual gaming, multitasking, or occasional content creation, they work well. If you need advanced graphic performance, go for models with stronger specs like Intel Core i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen 7 and a dedicated GPU.
Factors to consider while buying 2-in-1 laptops
Hinge Mechanism (Convertible vs Detachable): Convertible models rotate 360° for switching modes, while detachable ones allow removing the screen entirely for tablet use. Choose based on your preference for flexibility or portability.
Display Quality & Touch Responsiveness: Look for a Full HD or higher resolution display with good brightness, colour accuracy, and smooth touch sensitivity—especially if you’ll be using a stylus or working outdoors.
Processor & RAM: Ensure at least an Intel Core i5/AMD Ryzen 5 with 8GB RAM for smooth multitasking. Creators or power users should opt for higher configurations like Core i7 and 16GB RAM.
Battery Life: 2-in-1s are often used on the go, so aim for a model offering 8+ hours of battery life and fast charging support for uninterrupted work or travel use.
Stylus & Port Support: If you’re into drawing or note-taking, make sure the laptop supports active stylus input. Also, check for essential ports like USB-C, HDMI, or Thunderbolt for added connectivity.

LONDON: British media on Saturday saluted rock legends Oasis as “electrifying” and even “biblical” after their opening comeback concert received an equally ecstatic reception from fans in Cardiff.
The rockers, who shot to fame in the mid-1990s Britpop era, reeled off a string of their biggest hits in front of a 74,000-strong crowd in the Welsh capital on Friday, leaving those there in raptures.
For the Daily Mail, “Oasis fans were blown away as the iconic band reunited after 16 years and delivered an electrifying set, packed with energy and nostalgia.”
“Oasis returned as if no time has passed at all,” said the Daily Telegraph.
Other media were equally gushing after brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher wowed their audience with a batch of top hits including “Morning Glory” and “Supersonic”.
“The band sound, to use Liam’s favourite phrase, absolutely biblical,” said Rolling Stone.
For the Guardian newspaper, the concert was “a shameless trip back to the 90s for Britpop’s loudest, greatest songs.”
The BBC said Oasis showed “a hunger and a passion that was missing from their last shows in 2009.”
The band will now play another 40 tour dates from their native Manchester as far away as Brazil and Japan with around 900,000 tickets sold to date.
Brightcom Group Limited, the ad-tech company which was under SEBI scanner for violation of accounting norms, has said that the BSE and NSE have revoked the suspension in trading of its shares. Consequently, trading in the company’s shares will resume on July 14.
Brightcom Group has affirmed that it diligently complied with all necessary regulatory norms, particularly addressing previous non-compliances.
SEBI indicates serious concerns regarding Brightcom Group’s adherence to the financial reporting and disclosure standards that are mandatory for publicly listed entities.
SEBI has slammed the company for hiding information, failing to comply with regulations and violating norms. It issued a show-cause notice to top executives, including Chairman and Managing Director Suresh Reddy last year, citing under-statement of expenses and overstated profits between 2014-15 and 2019-20.
In its 77-page order last year, it felt that the scale of fraud was ‘indeed’ large. “The company attempted to camouflage accounting entries above ₹1,280 crore during 2018-19 and 2019-20 to give a distorted picture of its financial position,” it said.
The company’s former officials and an independent director have recently settled a case related to this by paying a total of ₹35.4 lakh for financial reporting irregularities from 2014 to 2020.
After 30 minutes, place the balls of dough on the two parchment-lined sheet pans, six well-spaced cookies on each sheet. Bake them for 10 minutes on the two center racks of your oven, rotate the pans, and bake for an additional 5 to 6 minutes, until the cookies are lightly browned at the edges and set but damp-looking in the center. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before eating them.
Store any uneaten cookies in a sealed container in the fridge. For the best results, warm them for 15 seconds in the microwave to refresh them before eating.
While our culture often tells us that liberty means freedom from responsibilities, the Bible tells us that experiencing true freedom can inspire us to want to take on responsibilities when God calls us to do so. The ways God calls us to serve help uslive into our purpose and lead us to fulfillment as we put our God-given interests and talents into action.
Ironically, we can find the greatest liberty in seeking God’s will instead of our own will. Galatians 5:13 advises us: “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” God calls us to be free, but he wants us to use that freedom for service rather than selfish indulgences.
When we serve God, we line ourselves up with God’s perfect plan. As a result, we gain more meaning and direction than any amount of worldly freedom can give us. Serving in ways likehelping people in need is an important way to thank God for all the true freedom he gives us. The Bible urges us in 1 Peter 2:16: “Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.” Our liberty is a blessing that we should use responsibly, for service that God leads us to do.
In conclusion, reflecting on liberty through a biblical lens shows us that liberty means more than the way people often talk about it: simply being free to do whatever we want. True liberty frees us to put love into action, overcome fear and sin, be empowered by the Holy Spirit, know God’s truth, forgive, and serve with purpose. As we live out these biblical principles, we can enjoy more liberty in our lives and also help bring more liberty into our world!
A man on TikTok has gone viral for claiming that he received a two-star review by guests online because his rental home was deemed not “weight accessible.”
In a video that garnered over 20,000 likes and hundreds of comments, the host shared the grievances his guests supposedly communicated to him after their stay.
“I guess they were on the larger side and my house didn’t perfectly accommodate their size,” said the host.

He claimed the guests said they couldn’t fit through the doorway, after which the host commented, “I have standard door frames.”
He also said the guests claimed that “some of the furniture seemed shaky at best, and we felt scared we were going to break it.”
A viral TikTok video revealed a host’s reaction to a two-star review he received online, with guests who stayed at his property claiming it was not “weight accessible” for them. (iStock)
“And then they were like, ‘I noticed your egg chair on your deck had a weight limit of 330 pounds on it.’ That’s the manufacturer that puts that [there], not me, and that’s for one person,” the host added.
“Then they were like, ‘Unfortunately, none of us could use that.’”
The TikToker host claimed the Airbnb guests said his bed was super soft and they felt like they were going to cave into the middle when they were both on it.

“I might say this house isn’t a good fit for you,” the host added in response, in part.
The host concluded that it was “not a learning lesson” for him — but “hopefully [it was] just for them.”
Fox News Digital reached out to the TikToker and Airbnb for comment.

The website of Airbnb lists various accessibility features that hosts can add to their listings.
Some related features potentially pertaining to guests who are of a larger size could be the width of the home.
The phrases “guest entrance wider than 32 inches” and “room entrance wider than 32 inches” are both listed.

TikTokers took to the comments section to share their opinions on the matter.
“As a plus-sized person, I cannot imagine being this entitled,” wrote one woman. “It’s no one’s job but mine to make sure it’s somewhere I’ll be comfortable.”
A user asked, “If they couldn’t fit through the door frame, how’d they know about the rest of the things?”
“I might say this house isn’t a good fit for you,” said the TikToker in a viral video, referring to the guests who complained about his home.(iStock)
“Thank you for handling this with professionalism. Unfortunately, entitlement comes in all sizes,” said one woman.
Another user wrote, “I’m plus size. This level of entitlement is crazy. I always check weight limits.”

Still another wrote, “I read the low reviews for this reason. Sometimes the issues do not apply to me.”
A different TikToker wrote, “I think you should have very sturdy furniture if you’re going to [do] this. I think hotels use that kind of furniture.”
“My house didn’t perfectly accommodate their size,” the renter said in his viral video. (iStock)
Airbnb began in 2007 “when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe,” the company notes on its website.

There’s no shortage of computer stands out there, and most of them get the job done. While these didn’t quite make my top picks, they still have some perks worth considering.
Rain Design iLevel2
Photograph: Rain Design
Rain Design iLevel2 for $65: I wanted to love the Rain Design iLevel2, assuming that it was a bestseller for a reason. Adjusting the height is easy—you slide the front level—but even at its lowest (5.4 inches), it still feels too high for some setups. It maxes out at 7.9 inches, which works fine if you’re using an external keyboard. Typing directly on your laptop while it’s perched on this stand, however, is a no-no; there’s a noticeable wobble that feels unstable and can get distracting.
Uncaged Ergonomics WorkEZ Best Laptop Stand for $40: If you liked the Nnewvante stand but want something a bit more compact, this one is worth a look. It’s not as sturdy as other picks, but the legs make it versatile enough so that you can use it on a table, bed, or couch, depending on how you’re propped up.
FluidStance Lift Laptop Stand for $79: FluidStance’s Lift Stand is a magnetic whiteboard that doubles as a surface for jotting notes and to-dos. The steel build won’t budge or buckle, and there are built-in notches to manage cables. Note that it’s not foldable, so I would leave this at home. Bonus: The Lift is made in the US from mostly recycled steel.
Arlo Skye Stowaway Lap Desk for $125: I appreciate the lap desk’s cushion and its built-in storage compartment for a caseless laptop (up to 14 inches), plus space for a thin notepad and pen. It’s great for working from bed or the couch, and there’s a slot for holding up your phone or tablet. This is also a solid option for kids. They can draw and color while keeping their supplies together. It is expensive for what it is, though.
Moft Invisible Stand
Photograph: Moft
Moft Invisible Stand for $33: The Moft Invisible Stand is made of MOVAS-P vegan leather and folds like origami to give you two adjustable angles: 25 degrees for viewing purposes and 15 degrees for typing or sketching. It feels flimsy, but it holds up to 11 pounds and folds flat when not in use. If you can’t snag one (it’s often sold out), the Carry Sleeve is another option that doubles as a laptop sleeve—but note it’s not compatible with tablets.
FlexiSpot SC-4U Adjustable Laptop Stand for $50: This stand feels like the sibling of our discontinued pick from ObVus Solutions. It doesn’t get as high (a maximum of 10.6 inches) but would fit better on a small desk or in a bag. It’s tough to adjust, which isn’t necessarily a downside, since it means it won’t budge once you get it to the angle you like. Bonus points for the rotating base, which is great if you’re collaborating with coworkers.
Laptop Stands to Avoid
Amazon is filled with laptop stands, many of which come from companies you may not have heard of. While some of these are higher quality, we’ve come across a few with serious problems.
Tonmom Laptop Stand: When something costs under $10, you can’t have high expectations. I liked the idea of an extremely portable laptop stand—something you could take on a plane or to a coffee shop. And this one had tons of good reviews on Amazon. While the Tonmom Laptop Stand does fold down to something you could toss in a backpack (and comes with a nice velvet bag), it feels very wobbly. It has so many free-floating parts that I never felt like my laptop was safe. It could easily slide out if something bumped it while the laptop is secured.
Gogoonike Laptop Stand: I tried this one as an even cheaper alternative to the Amazon Basics model, but it fails on many levels. I like that it’s not as tight as the Amazon Basics stand, meaning it’s easier to adjust while still feeling firm. But that’s where my compliments end. My unit came with nicks and faded paint all along the edge of the metal base. My guess is that this wear and tear will only get worse over time. The most egregious failure was that my unit wouldn’t sit completely flat on the table, as it uses cheap pads on the bottom rather than proper silicone feet. A laptop stand that doesn’t sit flat on a table is a big problem.

NAŠE tijelo voli rutinu, a putovanja često unose kaos u dnevne obrasce ponašanja. Promjene vremenskih zona, neredovita tjelesna aktivnost, nova te često povećana prehrana i poremećeni obroci mogu znatno otežati održavanje stabilne razine šećera u krvi.
Srećom, postoji jednostavna navika koja može pomoći i izvediva je gotovo bilo gdje – šetnja nakon obroka. Nutricionisti za portal Eating Well ističu da je upravo ova aktivnost jedan od najboljih načina kontrole glukoze u krvi tijekom putovanja. Donosimo kako i zašto djeluje te dodatne savjete za održavanje stabilnoga šećera u krvi na putu.
Zašto šetnja nakon obroka pomaže regulaciji šećera u krvi
Smanjuje nagle skokove šećera nakon jela
Nakon što pojedemo obrok, tijelo razgrađuje ugljikohidrate u glukozu, što dovodi do porasta šećera u krvi. Inzulin tada pomaže prenijeti tu glukozu iz krvi u stanice. Međutim, kod osoba s dijabetesom ili inzulinskom rezistencijom taj mehanizam često ne funkcionira pravilno.
“Šetnja nakon obroka standardna je preporuka za sve moje klijente s dijabetesom”, ističe nutricionistica Vandana Sheth.
S njom se složila i nutricionistica Kim Rose-Francis, koja dodaje da hodanje “pomaže u prijenosu glukoze iz krvotoka u mišiće, gdje se koristi kao izvor energije”.
Time se smanjuje vršni porast glukoze nakon jela i izbjegava kasniji pad šećera. Čak i kraće šetnje, od samo nekoliko minuta, mogu biti korisne ako ih ponavljamo tijekom dana. Jedno istraživanje pokazalo je da učestale šetnje od dvije do pet minuta svakih 20 do 30 minuta učinkovito smanjuju glukozu u krvi, prenosi Eating Well.

Poboljšava osjetljivost na inzulin
Fizička aktivnost ne samo da troši glukozu nego i povećava osjetljivost stanica na inzulin, što omogućuje učinkovitije korištenje inzulina koji tijelo prirodno proizvodi. Neka istraživanja pokazuju da šetnja nakon obroka može poboljšati osjetljivost na inzulin i do 24 sata nakon aktivnosti. Što je šetnja duža, to su učinci na snižavanje šećera veći – i neposredno i sljedećega dana.
Smanjuje razinu stresa
Psihičko i fizičko zdravlje usko su povezani, a stres može uzrokovati fiziološke promjene poput povišenoga šećera u krvi.
“Putovanja često uključuju stresne situacije, a tada mozak potiče oslobađanje kortizola – hormona stresa koji ometa normalan metabolizam glukoze”, kaže Rose-Francis. Kortizol priprema tijelo za “borbu ili bijeg”, povećava razinu šećera i smanjuje učinkovitost inzulina.
Šetnja i druge vrste tjelesne aktivnosti mogu smanjiti tu reakciju i time pozitivno utjecati na regulaciju glukoze.

VLASNICA Male, mlade ženke koker španijela, na TikTok profilu svoje nove ljubimice podijelila je videozapis koji je dirnuo tisuće. Prije nego što je službeno otišla u svoj novi dom, Mala je odlučila još jednom pogledati prema svojim roditeljima koji su bili u boksu.
Slatko štene sjelo je na tlo i okrenulo se od novih udomitelja i gledalo prema roditeljima, koji su gledali kako odlazi. Dirljiv trenutak rastužio je i Malinu vlasnicu, koja se u tom trenutku osjećala loše što odvaja štene od roditelja. Malina vlasnica je u opisu videozapisa otkrila da ju je cijeli prizor rasplakao, kao i vlasnike koker španijela čiji je Mala potomak.

KYLIE Jenner ove je sezone prigrlila jedan od najvećih ljetnih trendova – točkasti uzorak. Prije nekoliko dana na Instagram Storyju podijelila je fotografiju u bijelom bikiniju s crnim točkicama, preko kojeg je nosila poluprozirnu bijelu majicu kratkih rukava – jednostavan, ali efektan look za plažu (ili opuštanje uz bazen).
Uslijedila je još jedna točkasta kombinacija, ovoga puta sastavljena od arhivskih komada. Jenner je nosila crni bikini s bijelim točkicama i kapri hlače istog uzorka – oba komada potječu iz kolekcije Ralph Lauren proljeće 2000. Look je zaokružila torbom u istom printu i jednostavnim crnim japankama The Row Dune, koje su minimalističke, ali luksuzne.
“Točkasto ljeto”
“Točkasto ljeto”, napisala je uz ovu objavu, koja je brzo privukla ogroman broj lajkova i komentara. “Volim ovo”, “Gisele look, izgleda sjajno na tebi”, “Opsjednuta sam”, “Hot” – neki su od komentara ispod fotografija.
Što god mislili o točkicama ili kapri hlačama – trenutno su posvuda. I dok su točkice već godinama jedan od omiljenih ljetnih uzoraka, kapri hlače i dalje izazivaju podijeljena mišljenja. No, unatoč tome, upravo su one ove sezone postale jedan od najtraženijih komada – vraćaju se na velika vrata i viđamo ih svuda, od modnih pista do uličnog stila.
Kylie Jenner je to svojim posljednjim izdanjima potvrdila. U nastavku donosimo slične komade s kojima možete kopirati njezino izdanje.

India National Cricket Team vs England National Cricket Team Free Live Streaming Online and TV Channel Telecast: England’s Harry Brook and Jamie Smith played remarkably well on the third day of the second test between India and England, to turn the tide away from India, who were in pole position at one time. The home side were struggling at 84/5 when the duo got together to forge a brilliant partnership. It was also a great spectacle of counter attacking cricket with the Indian pacers hit at all parts of the ground. The visitors did manage to eventually get England out for 407 and an interesting day of play awaits us. India currently has a 244-run lead but as we have seen in the last test, things can change dramatically in the space of few overs. Jamie Smith Registers Highest Score by a Wicketkeeper-Batter for England in Test History, Achieves Feat During IND vs ENG 2nd Test 2025.
India versus England 2nd test day 4 will be streamed on the JioHotstar app and telecasted on the Star Sports network from 3:30 PM IST. K L Rahul and Karun Nair are at the crease for India and the duo have looked composed so far. The first session today will be crucial as India looks to not only consolidate but also get to a big score. Both Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill will be critical in this path as any lead over 500 should be good enough for the visitors.
England struggled on a flat track and their bowling team has not tried much variation so far. Spinner Shoaib Bashir on a fourth day track could extract spin and bounce and it will be interesting to see if Ben Stokes uses him before lunch. Stokes himself is known for breaking partnerships, and we can have a game in hand if England can take 3-4 early wickets.

Alphabet Inc.’s Google could propose a major overhaul of its European search results by giving greater visibility to competitors’ shopping and travel services, in a move aimed at aligning with the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), according to a Bloomberg report.
As part of the proposed changes, Google intends to introduce a prominent box at the top of its search pages, displaying ranked offerings from rival price-comparison websites. This box will likely allow users to either proceed directly to third-party sites, such as Expedia or Booking.com or click on individual listings that lead to hotel or airline pages, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity as the plans are yet to be made public, reported Bloomberg.
Importantly, the most relevant site, as determined by Google’s ranking algorithm, could be featured in the box, while a drop-down menu will offer links to other platforms, including Google’s own comparison tools. In an alternative version of the interface, the company would show a basic list of direct links to shopping or travel providers beneath the main results.
The proposed revamp is Google’s latest attempt to placate EU regulators after the European Commission warned the tech giant in March that it was at risk of violating the DMA by favouring its own services, such as Google Flights, over those of its competitors. The Commission’s concern stems from longstanding complaints that the firm uses its market dominance to suppress competition.
Last year, Google lost a legal battle over a €2.4 billion fine levied by the EU for similar behaviour related to its shopping services, a case that has come to symbolise Brussels’ tougher stance on digital monopolies.
The DMA, which took effect in 2024, aims to prevent dominant tech firms from abusing their position. It prohibits companies from giving preferential treatment to their own services and restricts the merging of personal data across platforms. Violations can result in fines of up to 10 per cent of global annual revenue, or 20 per cent for repeat offences.
Google has previously attempted to address the EU’s concerns by expanding the number of visible comparison site links within its results for users in the bloc. However, critics argue that the company’s own services still occupy prime positions, often ahead of its competitors.
The proposed adjustments come amid a broader crackdown by Brussels on major US tech firms. Apple was recently fined €500 million over alleged anti-competitive practices in its App Store, while Meta Platforms was penalised €200 million for its “consent-or-pay” approach to advertising on Instagram and Facebook.
The EU’s assertive regulatory campaign has drawn criticism from the United States. Brian Hughes, spokesperson for the National Security Council, described the fines as a “novel form of economic extortion,” signalling rising diplomatic tensions during delicate trade negotiations. Former President Donald Trump had previously threatened broad tariffs on US trading partners, adding to the strain.
Last December, the court suspended the investigation into the case, noting a crucial discrepancy: the hotel where the alleged offense supposedly took place did not exist in 2012.
“The complaint is patently false,” the court observed when staying the probe. It highlighted that the Taj hotel, adjacent to the international airport, began operations only in 2016, four years following the alleged incident, and that the information remains in the public domain.
The court also emphasised that the vivid narration regarding the incident at Taj hotel is not true and a canard.
Furthermore, even as the court stayed the investigation, it pointed out the complainant’s unexplained 12-year delay in lodging the complaint. It termed the complaint a “clear instance of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus (false in one thing, false in everything).”
The complaint had alleged that the director asked the complainant-actor to visit him in a fourth-floor room of the hotel around the airport in December 2012 and subjected him to sexual abuse.
It also claimed the director captured the complainant’s naked pictures and sent those to a female actor in Kerala.
India’s markets regulator has widened its probe into alleged market manipulation by U.S. securities trading firm Jane Street to include other exchanges and indices, according to a source, after barring it from trading in the Indian markets earlier on Friday.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) barred Jane Street from buying and selling securities in the Indian market and also seized $567 million of its funds.
SEBI and Jane Street did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
These brownies are made with white chocolate — an uncommon move in brownie recipes, and I’m not sure why, because, wow, are they delicious.
This recipe yields a cake that bakes into a variety of textures in one pan: chewy edge, extremely chewy corner, fudgelike center. The brownie is the only cake that’s allowed to have so much textural variety in one pan.
This bar is flavored with Earl Grey tea — steeped in the melting butter — along with vanilla and the creamy dairy flavor of white chocolate in place of traditional dark chocolate. The result of these elements commingling is a “brownie” that’s aromatic and elegant, and very delicious. If your first question is “Can I use a different tea?” or “Can I leave the tea out?” Yes, of course.
Because the Founders were Christians, devout to some degree, or Deists, they believed every person was created by God and carried the inherent image of God. This core identity made everyone equal in value, none more than another. This idea comes from Judeo-Christian ethics alone. No other religion of the ancient world espoused this.
Paul points to the spiritual value of every person in Galatians 3:28. “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Our intrinsic value goes deeper than the external and the seen, to the spirit. And no human law bestows this value; it comes directly from the divine Creator. Therefore, Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, “All men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” Unalienable means those rights are so basic to humanity, and given by God, that no earthly person or power can separate them.
Unfortunately, the Founders struggled to apply this fully, compromising with some Americans who actively participated in slavery. Even so, this idea influenced the abolitionist movement (the cause to end slavery) from even before the Revolutionary War and undergirds the fight for equality up to today.
These civil rights movements have improved the country and made great strides. However, we still wrestle with division, inequality, and racism. We must remember where this ideal came from, the Creator, and was expressed in his written Word, so we need to return to God to have the unity and equality we desire. Equality didn’t come from a humanistic or atheistic source, but from God. It’s a Gospel truth for us to seek in everyday interaction and public policy.
A quaint coastal New England town known for hosting the oldest Independence Day parade is once again resuming festivities this year for its 240th anniversary.
The town of Bristol, Rhode Island, began hosting celebrations in 1785.
Reverend Henry Wight of the First Congregational Church, a Revolutionary veteran, conducted the first known Patriotic Exercises, according to the parade’s website.
MILITARY PARADE DRAWS PATRIOTIC AMERICANS FROM NEAR AND FAR: ‘NO BETTER TIME TO COME TO DC’
It is believed the festivities evolved from a procession of community members walking to Patriotic Exercises.
Sometime in the early 1800s, a more formal parade formed, including the Military, Civic and Firemen’s Parade, says the same website.

Cruise robotaxis are back on the road… well, kind of. Though General Motors pulled the plug on its self-driving taxi business last year, the automaker has been quietly repurposing a few of the vehicles as it seeks to develop new driver-assistance technologies.
This week, WIRED spotted a GM Bolt electric hatchback on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, and later saw a similar vehicle on Interstate 880 near Oakland. In each instance, the car was being driven by a human. But it held equipment on the roof such as lidar sensors that resembled the setup from the Cruise ride-hailing system. The vehicle had “Mint” written on the hood, but didn’t include any visually apparent Cruise branding.
GM spokesperson Chaiti Sen confirms to WIRED that the company is indeed “using a limited number of Cruise Bolt vehicles on select highways in Michigan, Texas and Bay Area for testing with trained drivers to further develop simulation models and advanced driver assistance systems.” She adds, “This is internal testing and does not involve public passengers.”
GM removed the orange-and-white Cruise logo from the cars’ sides after it took full ownership of the unit in February, she says. The recent activity began in Michigan and Texas in February and the San Francisco Bay Area-region in mid-April, Sen says. Cruise had named each vehicle in its fleet, and Sen confirmed that “Mint” has been among the vehicles newly active in the Bay Area.
The testing shows for the first time how GM is beginning to give a second life to a fleet of no less than hundreds of vehicles left over from a costly project that ran aground.
GM initially acquired a majority stake in San Francisco-based Cruise in 2016, and invested more than $8 billion into developing a robotaxi service. The operation was off to a fast start and eyeing a rapid expansion until October 2023, when a Cruise vehicle struck a pedestrian in San Francisco who had just been hit by a human-driven vehicle.
In the aftermath of the incident, Cruise misled state regulators, lost a key permit, halted operations, and laid off a quarter of its workers.
After some attempts to restart the business, GM announced this past December that the experiment would be cancelled altogether. At the time, GM CEO Mary Barra told analysts that running a robotaxi fleet was an expensive distraction from the business of making cars.
But the technology behind Cruise is helping improve the roughly 7-year-old Super Cruise system found in some GM cars. It aims to help drivers stay in and change lanes, or apply the emergency brake without needing to use their hands.
Several automakers are racing to develop cars that offload an increasing amount of driving tasks to computers. GM claims about 60 percent of its 360,000 Super Cruise customers regularly make use of the capability.
In the US, the robotaxi industry has been dominated by Waymo, though Elon Musk’s Tesla and Amazon’s Zoox are among those continuing to try to catch up.
GM’s repurposed Bolts blend into San Francisco-area roads, on which cars with heavy-duty computer gear attached to roof, back, and sides have become commonplace. They include not only companies testing sensors and algorithms, but also map providers collecting data and hobbyists attempting to upgrade their personal rides.
JETRA je jedan od najvažnijih organa u tijelu – odgovorna je za detoksikaciju, proizvodnju brojnih važnih enzima i probavu masti. No često ne razmišljamo o tome koliko prehrana može utjecati na njezino zdravlje. Iako se jetra može regenerirati, dugotrajno izlaganje štetnim tvarima, osobito kroz prehranu, može dovesti do upala, masne jetre ili čak oštećenja. Prema mišljenju raznih stručnjaka za prehranu, ovo su neke vrste hrane koje se povezuju s rizikom za zdravlje jetre.
1. Pržena i masna hrana
Jela bogata zasićenim mastima, poput pohanog mesa, prženog krumpira i brze hrane, potiču nakupljanje masnoće u jetri. Redovita konzumacija takve hrane povećava rizik od nealkoholne masne bolesti jetre, osobito kod osoba sa sjedilačkim načinom života.
2. Prerađeno meso
Kobasice, salame i slični proizvodi često sadrže visoke količine natrija, zasićenih masti i aditiva. Prema savjetima nutricionista i dijetetičara, takvi sastojci mogu dodatno opteretiti jetru i povećati rizik od metaboličkih poremećaja ako se konzumiraju često.
3. Šećeri i zaslađena pića
Prekomjeran unos šećera, posebno kroz gazirana pića i gotove sokove, povezan je s nakupljanjem masnoća u jetri. Fruktoza iz ovih proizvoda obrađuje se isključivo u jetri, a višak može potaknuti upale i razvoj inzulinske rezistencije.

4. Alkohol
Iako umjerene količine alkohola mnogi smatraju prihvatljivima, stručnjaci za prehranu napominju da redovito konzumiranje alkohola može dugoročno dovesti do oštećenja jetrenih stanica. Alkohol se razgrađuje upravo u jetri, pri čemu nastaju tvari koje mogu izazvati upalu i fibrozu.
5. Rafinirani ugljikohidrati
Namirnice poput bijelog kruha, peciva i tjestenine brzo povisuju razinu šećera u krvi. Savjetnici za prehranu ističu da česta konzumacija ovakvih ugljikohidrata može pridonijeti nakupljanju masnoće u jetri, osobito kada ih ne prati odgovarajuća tjelesna aktivnost.
6. Industrijski umaci i grickalice
Gotovi umaci, čipsevi i ostale prerađene grickalice često sadrže skrivene šećere, transmasti i konzervanse koji dodatno opterećuju jetru. Stručnjaci upozoravaju da takvi proizvodi imaju minimalnu nutritivnu vrijednost, a lako se konzumiraju u prevelikim količinama.

“이겼습니다. 언더독의 반란, 레츠 고!” 고석현(31)이 외친 말처럼, 한국 격투기 팬들에게는 잊지 못할 밤이 되었다. UFC 데뷔전에서 그는 압도적인 경기력으로 ‘무패의 신성’ 8연승을 달리고 있던 오반 엘리엇을 제압하고, 전 세계 격투기 팬들의 주목을 한 몸에 받았다. 그가 보여준 투지와 전략은 단순한 승리를 넘어 UFC 웰터급 판도에 충격을 던진 순간이었다. 이날 UFC 팬들은 ‘코리안 타이슨’의 등장을 직접 목격했다.
지난 6월 22일(한국시간), 아제르바이잔 바쿠에서 열린 ‘UFC 파이트 나이트: 힐 vs 라운트리 주니어’ 언더카드 마지막 경기. 웰터급 신예 고석현은 강력한 레슬링과 지치지 않는 체력을 무기로 엘리엇을 3라운드 내내 압박하며 만장일치 판정승을 거뒀다. 경기 전 배당률은 그에게 극도로 불리했다. 승무패 예측 시장에서는 고석현의 승리 확률을 고작 21%로 봤다. 토토 베팅 사이트에는 전문 스포츠 경기 예측 애널리스트가 경기 결과에 대한 최신 정보와 지난 히스토리를 종합하여 합리적인 예측 정보를 제공한다. 때문에 많은 스포츠 팬들은 이런 플랫폼의 정보를 토대로 자신만의 베팅을 진행하고 있으며, 이런 습관은 보다 높은 승률을 보장해왔다. 하지만 그는 작년 데이나 화이트의 컨텐더 시리즈에서처럼 다시 한 번 대반전을 만들어냈다.
경기 내용은 완벽에 가까웠다. 1라운드 초반 잠깐의 타격전 이후 고석현은 엘리엇을 테이크다운으로 그라운드에 끌어들였고, 이후 내내 압도적인 컨트롤을 유지했다. 강력한 파운딩과 엘보우, 다양한 서브미션 시도로 엘리엇을 괴롭혔다. 영국 BBC는 “3라운드 내내 지배적인 경기였다. 엘리엇은 고석현에게 아무런 반격도 하지 못했다”고 평가했으며, UFC 전 미들급 챔피언 마이클 비스핑은 “그의 이름을 기억하라. 그는 많은 웰터급 선수들에게 골치거리를 안겨줄 것”이라며 엄지를 치켜세웠다.
사실 이 경기는 고석현에게 있어 준비부터 쉽지 않았다. 당초 미국에서 빌리 레이 고프와 데뷔전을 치를 예정이었지만, 비자 발급 지연으로 경기가 3주 연기되면서 상대도 엘리엇으로 바뀌었다. 고석현은 “우여곡절이 많았지만 이길 수 있다는 믿음이 있었다”며 “엘리엇이 안정적으로 운영하는 선수인 만큼, 진흙탕 싸움으로 끌고 가야 한다고 생각했다”고 밝혔다.
이번 경기에서 자신의 스승 ‘코리안 스턴건’ 김동현의 전매특허 그래플링 스타일을 완벽히 구현한 점도 인상 깊다. 고석현은 “누구보다 열심히 훈련했다. 체육관에 가장 먼저 오고, 가장 늦게 나가는 스타일”이라며 평소 성실한 훈련 루틴이 이번 경기에서 큰 힘이 되었다고 강조했다. 김동현은 SNS를 통해 “우리의 땀은 헛되지 않았다. 고석현 최고!”라며 기쁨을 함께 나눴다.
이번 경기는 다소 어렵게 성사되었지만 UFC 데뷔전을 치르는 고석현에게는 여러모로 얻을 것이 많은 경기였다. 엘리엇이 가진 무패 기록과 UFC 3연승이라는 경력을 통째로 빼앗은 셈이다. 이제 이번 승리로 고석현은 UFC 웰터급 중상위권 진입을 눈앞에 두게 됐다. 전문가들은 다음 경기에서 곧바로 30위권 내 강자와의 매치업이 잡힐 것으로 내다본다. 경기력만 놓고 보면 충분히 가능성 있는 시나리오다.
한편 이날 같은 대회에 출전한 박준용 역시 이스마일 나우르디예프를 상대로 만장일치 판정승을 따내며 UFC 통산 9승째를 올렸다. 고석현은 “준용 형님 경기 보며 진흙탕 싸움에서도 체력으로 이길 수 있다는 자신감을 얻었다”고 말했다. 이날 밤 두 사람의 끈끈한 동반 승리는 한국 격투기 팬들에게 더욱 큰 감동을 선사했다.
전문가들이 분석을 통해 결론 내는 승부 예측은 때로는 단지 숫자에 불과하다. 고석현의 데뷔전은 그 사실을 증명하는 가장 강렬한 사례가 됐다. 그는 이제 단순한 신예가 아니라, UFC 웰터급에서 가장 주목해야 할 선수이자, UFC 팬들에게는 ‘코리안 타이슨’이라는 새로운 캐릭터의 등장이라는 흥미진진한 이야깃거리를 제공하게 되었다.
한편 경기 이후 인터뷰에서 엘리엇은 “이번 경기를 준비하며 동료들과 가족, 팀이 흘린 땀을 떠올리게 된다. 결과가 그들의 기대에 못 미쳤지만, 나는 절대 멈추지 않을 것이다. 더 강하게 돌아오겠다. 싸움은 계속된다”고 말했다.
이 한마디는 단순한 각오 이상의 울림을 남긴다. 엘리엇은 지금까지 UFC 무대에서 보여준 경기력과 연승 기록으로 웰터급 유망주로 주목받아왔다. 그러나 이번 경기에서의 패배는 단지 커리어 상의 ‘1패’가 아니라, 진정한 파이터로서 한 단계 성장하는 계기가 될 수 있음을 그는 스스로 증명해 보이고 있다. 그는 이날 패배를 ‘끝’이 아닌 ‘새로운 시작’으로 받아들이고 있었다. 많은 이들이 승자가 주목받는 스포츠 세계에서, 엘리엇은 패배한 파이터가 어떻게 존경을 받을 수 있는지를 몸소 보여주었다.
진정한 강함은 이길 때가 아니라, 졌을 때 드러난다. 고석현이 ‘코리안 타이슨’으로 격투기 세계에 이름을 새겼다면, 엘리엇은 이날 경기에서 ‘강한 자’의 또 다른 정의를 새겼다. 끝까지 존엄을 지키며, 스스로를 되돌아보고, 다음을 준비하는 태도. 그것이 바로 엘리엇이 보여준 ‘패자의 품격’이었다.
이번 경기는 결국, 단순한 승무패 기록 이상의 의미를 담았다. 도전자는 기대를 뛰어넘는 승리를 거두며 자신의 시대를 예고했고, 패자는 성숙한 자기 성찰을 통해 다시 일어설 가능성을 증명했다. 이처럼 한 명의 등장과 한 명의 전환이 동시에 일어나는 경기야말로, 팬들에게 진짜 스포츠의 묘미를 선사하는 순간이 아닐까.
격투기는 때때로 너무 잔인하고, 때로는 너무 아름답다. 그래서 사람들은 그 싸움에 매료된다. 이날 밤, 고석현과 오반 엘리엇이 함께 만들어낸 이 명승부는 앞으로도 오랫동안 많은 이들의 기억 속에 남게 될 것이다.
PSI SU POZNATI po svojoj znatiželji i sklonosti nestašlucima, a upravo njihove nepredvidive avanture često završe na viralnim snimkama koje oduševljavaju korisnike društvenih mreža. Među najnovijim zvijezdama TikToka tako se našla i kujica haskija Ivy.
Kao i većina haskija, Ivy je majstorica u bježanju. Kako bi otkrio kojim putem bježi, njezin vlasnik odlučio je postaviti svoj mobitel u dvorište i upaliti kameru koja ju je trebala snimiti u bijegu. No, čim se vratio u kuću, Ivy je uzela stvari u svoje šape i ukrala njegov mobitel. Na snimci je možemo vidjeti kako trči po dvorištu s mobitelom u ustima, sve dok ga u jednom trenutku ne baci na pod.

Video je objavljen prije pet dana, a nije mu trebalo dugo da skupi više od šest milijuna pregleda i preko 1,2 milijuna lajkova.
“Odmah sam znao da će ovo biti objava o haskiju”, “Ne smijete pokazivati haskijima gdje skrivate kameru, prepametni su za to”, “Snima vlastiti vlog”, “Sada nemaš niti psa niti mobitel”, pisali su gledatelji u komentarima.

Daniel Gross, the former chief executive and co-founder of Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI), has joined Meta Platforms’ newly formed superintelligence lab, marking another significant move in the ongoing AI talent war.
Gross is set to work on artificial intelligence products under Meta’s superintelligence unit, his spokesperson Lulu Meservey confirmed. The development follows Meta’s recent restructuring of its AI division and a flurry of high-profile hires aimed at pushing the boundaries of artificial general intelligence (AGI), AI systems capable of human-level or superior cognition.
Ilya Sutskever, Gross’s co-founder at SSI and the former chief scientist at OpenAI, announced on Friday that Gross had stepped down from his role at the AI startup. Sutskever will now assume the position of CEO at SSI. While Gross refrained from mentioning Meta directly in his farewell post on X, he wrote, “The company’s future is very bright, and I expect miracles to follow.”
Gross’s departure from SSI comes just months after the stealth-mode startup was launched with a focus on building safe and aligned superintelligence. His move to Meta is seen as part of a wider recruitment strategy personally spearheaded by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Reports suggest that Zuckerberg has been actively courting leading AI minds, even inviting prospective hires to his residences in Palo Alto and Lake Tahoe.
Gross is not the only prominent figure to have joined Meta’s superintelligence efforts. Nat Friedman, former GitHub CEO and Gross’s long-time collaborator in venture capital firm NFDG, has also signed on. He now co-leads Meta’s superintelligence initiative alongside former Scale AI chief executive Alexandr Wang.
The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Meta has offered to acquire a minority stake in NFDG’s funds, a venture firm co-founded by Gross and Friedman, potentially deepening the partnership.
Gross’s career spans a variety of roles across Silicon Valley’s tech landscape. He co-founded Cue, an AI-powered search startup that was acquired by Apple in 2013. Following the acquisition, he worked on Apple’s AI and search initiatives until 2017, and later served as a partner at startup accelerator Y Combinator.
Dheeran is a film that aims to blend old-school humour with a gently satirical look at village life. Devadath Shaji, in his directorial debut, fills the story with funny situations and quirky characters, bringing together a colourful bunch on a journey that feels both chaotic and charming. While it promises a wild adventure and only partly delivers on that promise, the film remains watchable thanks to its lively cast and the sporadic laughter they spark.
The film opens on a darker note as Eldhose (Rajesh Madhavan) and his companion Suhail are shown meeting Abubacker (Vineeth), a quirky and unpredictable gangster in Tamil Nadu. The tone is tense, and it quickly becomes clear that Eldhose has been sent on a dangerous mission. This thread is then left hanging as the narrative shifts to Malayattoor, Eldhose’s hometown, where news breaks that he has died in a factory fire. Though once celebrated as “Dheeran” for an act of childhood bravery, Eldhose had fallen out of favour after getting entangled in a scandalous relationship with Suramya (an impressive Aswathy Manoharan). Their secret intimacy was exposed, and their mothers rushed to marry them off. The film deserves credit for how it normalises casual intimacy and situationships in a rural setting without excessive moral judgement, giving their romance a refreshing frankness. Eldhose, unwilling to go through with it, ran away from home and never looked back. Years later, his supposed death shocks the villagers. Panchayat president Abbas (Jagadish) steps up to organise a trip to bring his body back from Tamil Nadu. Travelling with him are Kunjumon (Ashokan), a lifelong bachelor now hoping to find love, Joppan (Sudheesh), a kleptomaniac whose antics often derail the group’s plans, Aruvi (Manoj K Jayan), a welder simmering with unresolved heartbreak, Spineesh (Shabareesh Varma), the chirpy ambulance driver, and Dixson (Abhiram Radhakrishnan), a local singer and Eldhose’s brother-in-law. What follows is a road trip filled with grudges and slapstick disasters.
The biggest strength of Dheeran is clearly its cast. Veteran actors from Malayalam cinema’s golden comedy era bring their experience and comic rhythm to the screen. Jagadish plays Abbas with understated control that helps ground the group during moments of chaos. Ashokan is superb as the hopelessly romantic Kunjumon, especially when he blurts out to Sathi (an effective Vijaya Sadan) that he hopes to be the grandfather of the baby Suramya is carrying. It is both absurd and oddly sweet and captures the tone of the film perfectly. The film also deserves appreciation for showing that Sathi is not opposed to this idea out of dislike, but because she fears the judgment of the society around her. With impeccable timing, Sudheesh is a standout, turning Joppan into an unpredictable force who steals things without even realising them and tends to reveal secrets at the most inappropriate times. Manoj K Jayan balances wounded pride with humour as Aruvi, particularly in a scene where he comes face to face with his runaway wife and the man she left with. Sabareesh Varma and Abhiram Radhakrishnan add youthful charm to the mix, making the generational contrasts in the group even more amusing. Rajesh Madhavan plays Eldhose with a quieter, more serious touch. He does not get many comic beats, but his presence lends some weight to the story’s more personal arcs.
While Dheeranis watchable and often funny, it falls short of being the wild comedic ride it sets out to be. Several setups feel familiar, and some jokes arrive too early to land effectively. The second hour brings in a gangster subplot that tries to raise the stakes but feels rushed and undercooked. There are nods to classic Malayalam comedies, especially from the Siddique-Lal era, but the execution lacks their sharpness and surprise. Still, the film is carried by its veteran ensemble, whose timing and chemistry keep it afloat. For those who enjoy character-driven comedies with old grudges and oddball moments, Dheeranremains a journey worth taking, bumps and all.

Winning the Masters means choosing the menu for the champions dinner the following year. Ben Hogan came up with the idea in 1952, but not until 1986 did champions begin honoring their heritage by choosing traditional dishes from their home countries or regions.
Bernhard Langer, a West German in a green jacket, thought hard and chose … Wiener schnitzel! (the breaded and fried veal cutlet, not the fast food hot dog).
Rory McIlroy is the first player from Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland to win the Masters, having edged Justin Rose in a playoff Sunday to become the sixth player to complete the Grand Slam by winning all four major PGA tournaments. Could the traditional green jacket look better on anyone not from the Emerald Isle?
Now McIlroy must conjure the cuisine — rest assured it won’t be the Original Grand Slam off the Denny’s menu — that will reflect his Northern Ireland coastal hometown of Holywood, near Belfast. Many residents of Northern Ireland identify as British, but McIlroy has represented Ireland in the Olympics and other international tournaments. The cuisine all over Ireland is similar.
Would he dare go as authentic as Sandy Lyle, the son of a Scottish club pro who in 1989 requested haggis, a traditional Scottish dish that combines sheep’s heart, lungs and liver with oatmeal, onions and gobs of black pepper and is simmered for hours in a string-bound sheep’s stomach?
Yes, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Arnold Palmer tucked in a bib and tucked into the haggis, accompanied by neeps and tatties, cute Scottish names for turnips and potatoes, mashed and buttered. Lyle enjoyed the proceedings while wearing a kilt.
“That seemed to make quite a statement,” Lyle told the Augusta Chronicle. “The older guys like Nicklaus had been to Scotland and knew what haggis was. But the newer ones … they weren’t too sure about it.”
Northern Ireland isn’t known for haute cuisine, or even for soulful peasant dishes like haggis. It’s known for soda bread. And a potato mashup called champ. And, of course, a properly poured Guinness stout.
That leaves a lot of leeway for a menu, the ability — as Masters winners from Scottie Scheffler to Tiger Woods did — to default to bone-in ribeye or porterhouse steaks.
Yet the British-based betting outfit William Hill already has published odds on what McIlroy will choose. The favorite at 2-1 is Irish stew, that hearty concoction of lamb, potatoes and vegetable. Checking in at 3-1 are soda bread, fish and chips, and Bushmills whiskey.
Champ, Irish-style chicken curry, and a dessert confection called Yellowman are listed at 5-1. Ardglass potted herring and a dessert called Fifteens are longer shots at 8-1.
Yet a self-proclaimed insider says McIlroy favors seafood. Michael Deane, the chef at a Belfast restaurant often frequented by McIlroy, gave the Belfast Telegraph details.
“I’ve looked after Rory for a long time,” Deane said. “I’ve done a lot of private stuff for him at the restaurant. He would be very into shellfish like prawns, scallops and crab. I would say he’ll have seafood platters to go around the table for all the golfers. Maybe with some different types of dressings. He likes oysters too, that would be the starter.”
This year’s menu was created by last year’s winner, Scheffler, a Texan since age 6, and included meaty chili with jalapenos and a wood-fired cowboy ribeye. All but three of the 35 living Masters winners attended.
More exotic are the menus from international golfers. Spaniard Jon Rahm in 2024 started with a half a dozen tapas, including one from his grandmother’s recipes. Hideki Matsuyama, the first champion from Japan, in 2022 splurged with sashimi, nigiri sushi and Wagyu beef.
Angel Cabrera in 2010 introduced an Argentine asado, well-salted cuts of meat including short ribs, blood sausage and sweetbreads cooked over an open flame. South Africans Trevor Immelman in 2009 and Charl Schwartzel in 2012 went with a spiced minced meat pie topped with an egg custard called a bobotie, a chilled seafood bar and a lamb-centric barbecue called a braai.
Canadian Mike Weir in 2004 featured elk, wild boar and Arctic char. And Vijay Singh in 2001 went with a Thai menu that included tom kha gai soup, chicken panang curry, garlic sea scallops and Chilean sea bass with a three-flavor chili sauce.
The least inventive? Perhaps Bubba Watson, whose menu in 2013 was panned by fellow champions.
“What was the worst one? Oh, it was Bubba, wasn’t it?,” Nick Faldo said. “When we had Chuck E. Cheese. When we had a little hamburger and a little corn and a little ice cream. I think we had a milkshake as well.”
Irish stew isn’t offered at Chuck E. Cheese. McIlroy can piece together an authentic and satisfying menu by mixing traditional dishes with a couple widely enjoyed standards. Watson, of all champions, can’t wait.
“Congratulations @McIlroyRory on a hard fought win to earn the green jacket — well deserved,” Watson wrote on X. “Masters champion and career grand slam… not sure it gets any better!! Is it too early to ask what’s on the menu for the next champions dinner?”
By the time McIlroy is the featured guest a year from now, he might be holding his head higher as William Hill has made McIlroy the clear favorite at 8-13 to win the 2025 BBC Sports personality of the year award, known as SPOTY, easily overtaking early pacesetter Luke Littler, an 18-year-old English darts champion.
And look who is handicapped at 3-1 to receive a knighthood before the 2026 Masters: McIlroy. Coupled with his record $4.2-million purse Sunday, such a title certainly would make other Masters champions sit up straight at dinner.
“He might not need to win anything else to land the SPOTY award,” William Hill executive Lee Phelps said. “Come next year’s Masters, we make it 3-1 that he heads to Augusta as Sir Rory McIlroy.”
“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.”
Not when you get it all right. Not when you crush every goal. Not when you’re perfect. When you persevere. In other words: just don’t quit. Some of the most powerful people I know aren’t necessarily the smartest, loudest, or most gifted. They’re the ones who consistently showed up.
They kept showing up in prayer. Kept showing up in the Word. Kept showing up in obedience, even when no one else saw it.
And over time, God honored it. He always does.
Keep Showing Up
I don’t know what promise you’re clinging to. I don’t know what area of your life feels stuck, stagnant, or silent. But I do know this: Everything God has for you is on the other side of consistency. Not your best day. Not your most inspired moment. But your everyday faithfulness.
Because the life you desire, the peace you seek, the achievements you long to see—it’s not found in spurts of inspiration. It’s discovered in the daily, sometimes mundane, but always sacred decision to keep going. And when you do? You’ll wake up one day and realize the promise wasn’t delayed. It was developing. Because God was never building the thing. He was building you.
A World War II veteran who is 102 years old has become a viral sensation on TikTok, sharing his experiences of wartime stories.
Jake Larson, aka “Papa Jake,” spoke with Fox News Digital about serving the country and shared what Independence Day means to him. (See the video at the top of this article.)
Larson of Lafayette, California, fought in six battles during World War II while storming Omaha Beach on D-Day and then in the Battle of the Bulge.

He was born in Owatonna, Minnesota, enlisting in the National Guard in 1938 at age 15 – and lying about his age.
“Growing up on a farm during the Depression with no electricity, running water or money has made me appreciate the independence and freedom we have today,” Larson said.

He was 18 years old when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Larson joked that he “didn’t even know Pearl Harbor existed.”
After Pearl Harbor, Larson spent three years in Europe.
“I just came from the infantry. I got in on the planning of D-Day. Not only did I get in on the planning of D-Day … I landed on Omaha Beach and that night I was put in charge of Omaha Beach,” he said.

Larson said he was assigned to the night shift for the G3 — and continued this duty through the Battle of the Bulge.
On D-Day, he was out in the water up to his chin carrying his rifle over his head.
“I’ve drawn eight rounds, and I’m holding that up over my head, so I wouldn’t get the ammunition wet,” he said.

if you’ve just bought a fancy new TV, you may be surprised to find it sounds just as bad as your old one (or worse). Even the best TVs we’ve tested need a hand to provide sound that keeps up with their fantastic displays. But it can be tough knowing where to start when it comes to upgrading your TV audio. Never fear, intrepid buyer: The easiest and most affordable solution is to just get a soundbar. Modern soundbars come in all shapes, sizes, and prices. Here, we’ve made a checklist of sorts to consider before pressing the Buy button.
Be sure to check out our Best Soundbars and Best Bookshelf Speakers guides, as well as our advice on How to Buy a TV and How to Set Up a TV, with in-depth picture adjustment advice.

Why You Need a Soundbar
Photograph: Ryan Waniata
Soundbars are a great first step into home theater audio because they are generally compact and easy to set up and sound vastly better than most built-in TV speakers. Seriously: nearly all TV speakers are bad! The spectrum of quality you can get from a soundbar ranges from basic improvements to the bass and overall soundstage to the type of room-filling sound you might expect from a more traditional home theater audio system (a system with wired speakers and a dedicated receiver). Regardless of what you’re watching, a soundbar is a low-effort way of getting more out of your viewing experience.
Finding the Right Size

Soundbars come in multiple sizes and configurations, denoted by the size of the acoustic chamber and the number of built-in full-range, bass, and height channels. You can think of soundbar channels as the number of individual zones emitting sound. A “2.1” soundbar system has at least two individually powered speakers and a dedicated subwoofer. A 5.1 system has at least five main speakers (a center, left, right, plus two surrounds) and a subwoofer.
While most budget bars will be stereo only, our favorite performers usually have at least three channels in front (left, center, and right) and a subwoofer. That’s a 3.1 system. The center channel is generally the most important because that’s where TV and film mixers put dialog. Have trouble hearing dialog in movies and shows? Get a three-channel (3.0) bar at the very least.
Sometimes, you’ll see an additional number at the end, like a 3.1.2 system. The “.2” means there are two height channels. In soundbars, these are upward-facing speakers that bounce sound off the ceiling, simulating ceiling-mounted speakers for content mixed in 3D audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Basically, these soundbars try to re-create a spatial audio experience without requiring you to string up speakers on the ceiling. Pricier soundbar systems will come with additional dedicated rear- and side-firing drivers that bounce sound off your walls for more immersion, using a configuration of 5.1.2 (or higher).
The more channels, the bigger your soundbar system will likely be. The most important step is to make sure whatever you buy will fit on your media console (ideally, it’ll fit right between your TV’s legs, too). We’ll go over surround sound and Dolby Atmos in more detail below.
Do You Need a Subwoofer?

For most spaces, it’s highly worth considering a soundbar with a dedicated subwoofer. If these are too expensive or you’re worried about the neighbors, some soundbars have a less overt bass channel built in, while other systems let you add a subwoofer later, including models from Sonos, Klipsch, Bose, and others. Each of these examples allows you to add surround speakers later as well, letting you upgrade to a full surround-sound system.
OSTEOPOROZA je tiha bolest koja se često ne prepoznaje sve dok ne dođe do prijeloma. Upravo to je, prema riječima ortopedskog kirurga dr. Briana Gallaghera, ono što je čini posebno opasnom.
“To je velik problem kod osteoporoze – ne postoje dosljedni simptomi koje možemo pratiti sve dok osoba ne doživi prijelom zbog krhkih kostiju. Zato je važno pratiti stanje na vrijeme”, istaknuo je za Parade. Iako su gubitak visine ili promjene u držanju poznati znakovi, postoji i jedan rani simptom koji većina ljudi ne povezuje s kostima – ali stručnjaci upozoravaju da na njega itekako treba obratiti pozornost.
Taj često zanemareni rani znak osteoporoze zapravo se pojavljuje u usnoj šupljini. “Povlačenje zubnog mesa može biti jedan od prvih simptoma osteoporoze”, objašnjava dr. Pamela Mehta, ortopedska kirurginja i medicinska savjetnica.
Stomatolog dr. Kartik Antani dodaje: “Ljudi često misle da se povlači samo zubno meso, ali u stvarnosti se često radi o propadanju kosti ispod njega. Budući da je osteoporoza bolest kostiju, logično je da povećava rizik od parodontitisa – oblika bolesti desni koji oštećuje kost oko zuba.”
“Osobe koje su već doživjele jedan prijelom zbog osteoporoze imaju znatno veći rizik za drugi”
Osim zubnog mesa, dr. Mehta ističe još nekoliko često zanemarenih simptoma, primjerice poteškoće pri stiskanju šake, otvaranju boca i držanju stvari, koje mogu upućivati na smanjenu gustoću kostiju. Lomljivi nokti također mogu ukazivati na osteoporozu, budući da i nokti i kosti sadrže slične proteinske veze.

Ponekad se čak i otežano disanje može povezati s kompresijom kralježaka koja smanjuje kapacitet pluća.
Dobra je vijest da se osteoporoza može spriječiti ili usporiti. Liječnica dr. Betsy Batcher preporučuje prestanak pušenja, umjereno konzumiranje alkohola te redovitu fizičku aktivnost poput hodanja, vježbi snage i treninga ravnoteže. Također savjetuje unos dovoljno kalcija i vitamina D – bilo kroz prehranu ili dodatke prehrani.
“Nemasni mliječni proizvodi, zeleno lisnato povrće, riba i obogaćeni proizvodi dobar su izvor kalcija”, kaže dr. Mehta. Konačno, dr. Gallagher naglašava važnost ranih pregleda, osobito kod starijih osoba i onih s obiteljskom poviješću bolesti.
“Osobe koje su već doživjele jedan prijelom zbog osteoporoze imaju znatno veći rizik za drugi, pa je rana medicinska intervencija ključna”, zaključio je.

Shorter enrollment periods. More paperwork. Higher premiums. The sweeping tax and spending bill pushed by President Donald Trump includes provisions that would not only reshape people’s experience with the Affordable Care Act but, according to some policy analysts, also sharply undermine the gains in health insurance coverage associated with it.
The moves affect consumers and have particular resonance for the 19 states (plus Washington, D.C.) that run their own ACA exchanges.
Many of those states fear that the additional red tape — especially requirements that would end automatic reenrollment — would have an outsize impact on their policyholders. That’s because a greater percentage of people in those states use those rollovers versus shopping around each year, which is more commonly done by people in states that use the federal healthcare.gov marketplace.
“The federal marketplace always had a message of, ‘Come back in and shop,’ while the state-based markets, on average, have a message of, ‘Hey, here’s what you’re going to have next year, here’s what it will cost; if you like it, you don’t have to do anything,’” said Ellen Montz, who oversaw the federal ACA marketplace under the Biden administration as deputy administrator and director at the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight. She is now a managing director with the Manatt Health consulting group.
Millions — perhaps up to half of enrollees in some states — may lose or drop coverage as a result of that and other changes in the legislation combined with a new rule from the Trump administration and the likely expiration at year’s end of enhanced premium subsidies put in place during the covid-19 pandemic. Without an extension of those subsidies, which have been an important driver of Obamacare enrollment in recent years, premiums are expected to rise 75% on average next year. That’s starting to happen already, based on some early state rate requests for next year, which are hitting double digits.
“We estimate a minimum 30% enrollment loss, and, in the worst-case scenario, a 50% loss,” said Devon Trolley, executive director of Pennie, the ACA marketplace in Pennsylvania, which had 496,661 enrollees this year, a record.
Drops of that magnitude nationally, coupled with the expected loss of Medicaid coverage for millions more people under the legislation Trump calls the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” could undo inroads made in the nation’s uninsured rate, which dropped by about half from the time most of the ACA’s provisions went into effect in 2014, when it hovered around 14% to 15% of the population, to just over 8%, according to the most recent data.
Premiums would rise along with the uninsured rate, because older or sicker policyholders are more likely to try to jump enrollment hurdles, while those who rarely use coverage — and are thus less expensive — would not.

After a dramatic all-night session, House Republicans passed the bill, meeting the president’s July 4 deadline. Trump is expected to sign the measure on Independence Day. It would increase the federal deficit by trillions of dollars and cut spending on a variety of programs, including Medicaid and nutrition assistance, to partly offset the cost of extending tax cuts put in place during the first Trump administration.
The administration and its supporters say the GOP-backed changes to the ACA are needed to combat fraud. Democrats and ACA supporters see this effort as the latest in a long history of Republican efforts to weaken or repeal Obamacare. Among other things, the legislation would end several changes put in place by the Biden administration that were credited with making it easier to sign up, such as lengthening the annual open enrollment period and launching a special program for very low-income people that essentially allows them to sign up year-round.
In addition, automatic reenrollment, used by more than 10 million people for 2025 ACA coverage, would end in the 2028 sign-up season. Instead, consumers would have to update their information, starting in August each year, before the close of open enrollment, which would end Dec. 15, a month earlier than currently.
That’s a key change to combat rising enrollment fraud, said Brian Blase, president of the conservative Paragon Health Institute, because it gets at what he calls the Biden era’s “lax verification requirements.”
He blames automatic reenrollment, coupled with the availability of zero-premium plans for people with lower incomes that qualify them for large subsidies, for a sharp uptick in complaints from insurers, consumers, and brokers about fraudulent enrollments in 2023 and 2024. Those complaints centered on consumers’ being enrolled in an ACA plan, or switched from one to another, without authorization, often by commission-seeking brokers.
In testimony to Congress on June 25, Blase wrote that “this simple step will close a massive loophole and significantly reduce improper enrollment and spending.”
States that run their own marketplaces, however, saw few, if any, such problems, which were confined mainly to the 31 states using the federal healthcare.gov.
The state-run marketplaces credit their additional security measures and tighter control over broker access than healthcare.gov for the relative lack of problems.
“If you look at California and the other states that have expanded their Medicaid programs, you don’t see that kind of fraud problem,” said Jessica Altman, executive director of Covered California, the state’s Obamacare marketplace. “I don’t have a single case of a consumer calling Covered California saying, ‘I was enrolled without consent.’”
Such rollovers are common with other forms of health insurance, such as job-based coverage.
“By requiring everyone to come back in and provide additional information, and the fact that they can’t get a tax credit until they take this step, it is essentially making marketplace coverage the most difficult coverage to enroll in,” said Trolley at Pennie, 65% of whose policyholders were automatically reenrolled this year, according to KFF data. KFF is a health information nonprofit that includes KFF Health News.
Federal data shows about 22% of federal sign-ups in 2024 were automatic-reenrollments, versus 58% in state-based plans. Besides Pennsylvania, the states that saw such sign-ups for more than 60% of enrollees include California, New York, Georgia, New Jersey, and Virginia, according to KFF.
States do check income and other eligibility information for all enrollees — including those being automatically renewed, those signing up for the first time, and those enrolling outside the normal open enrollment period because they’ve experienced a loss of coverage or other life event or meet the rules for the low-income enrollment period.
“We have access to many data sources on the back end that we ping, to make sure nothing has changed. Most people sail through and are able to stay covered without taking any proactive step,” Altman said.
If flagged for mismatched data, applicants are asked for additional information. Under current law, “we have 90 days for them to have a tax credit while they submit paperwork,” Altman said.
That would change under the tax and spending plan before Congress, ending presumptive eligibility while a person submits the information.
A white paper written for Capital Policy Analytics, a Washington-based consultancy that specializes in economic analysis, concluded there appears to be little upside to the changes.
While “tighter verification can curb improper enrollments,” the additional paperwork, along with the expiration of higher premiums from the enhanced tax subsidies, “would push four to six million eligible people out of Marketplace plans, trading limited fraud savings for a surge in uninsurance,” wrote free market economists Ike Brannon and Anthony LoSasso.
“Insurers would be left with a smaller, sicker risk pool and heightened pricing uncertainty, making further premium increases and selective market exits [by insurers] likely,” they wrote.

DVIJE preslatke narančaste mačke po imenu Cashie i Almond po prvi su put zakoračile na plažu i osvojile srca gledatelja. Nije uobičajeno vidjeti mačke kako istražuju pijesak ili more, no njihov vlasnik odlučio im je priuštiti pravu morsku pustolovinu.
Za izlet je odabrao mirnu Princess Beach u Destinu na Floridi, umjesto prometne javne plaže, nakon što je primijetio da nema znakova zabrane za kućne ljubimce, a ondje je već bilo nekoliko pasa koji su uživali. Svoje je iskustvo podijelio na TikToku i nazvao ga “najslađom stvari koju ćete danas vidjeti”.
Cashie i Almond stigle su na plažu u ruksacima za kućne ljubimce, a njihov je vlasnik na pijesku postavio prostrani šator u kojem su ih čekali zdjelica s vodom, kutija s pijeskom i plišana igračka za razonodu. Mačke su se smjestile u šator, a zatim ih je vlasnik uzeo u naručje i ponio prema moru kako bi uživale u pogledu. Sa šeširićima na glavama, znatiželjno su promatrale pijesak i valove.
Prema riječima njihova vlasnika, Cashie je bila “pomalo nervozna”, dok je Almond “uživala” i željela istražiti okolicu. U videu na TikToku može se vidjeti kako šeće po pijesku i “divi se” prizoru.
Nakon morske šetnje, obje su se opustile u šatoru i zaspale, a vlasnik ih je nagradio poslasticama za primjerno ponašanje. Video je prikupio čak 4.2 milijuna pregleda, 420.000 lajkova i više od 1100 komentara.

Jedan je korisnik napisao: “Bila bih presretna da vidim bucmaste mačke na plaži”.
Mnogi su pohvalili i mirno ponašanje Cashie i Almond, a jedan je korisnik istaknuo: “Nevjerojatno je da su obje narančaste… i tako dobro odgojene. Ne mogu vjerovati.”
Boja dlake ne utječe na osobnost mačke
Iako neki vjeruju da su narančaste mačke po prirodi prijateljskije i umiljatije, znanost kaže da to nije točno. Bihevioristica Mikel Delgado izjavila je za britanski časopis Kinship: “Do danas nema istraživanja koja su pokazala da boja dlake utječe na osobnost mačke.”
“Postoje ankete koje pokazuju da ljudi misle da je boja dlake povezana s ponašanjem, ali nijedno znanstveno istraživanje do sada nije potvrdilo tu povezanost u praksi.”

U SUBOTU se na Hipodromu održava veliki koncert Marka Perkovića Thompsona, na kojem se očekuje oko pola milijuna posjetitelja. Zbog toga su neki manji obrtnici u neposrednoj blizini odlučili zatvoriti svoja vrata ili prilagoditi radno vrijeme.
Većina šoping-centara i trgovačkih lanaca u Novom Zagrebu radit će prema uobičajenom rasporedu, no pristup nekim lokacijama mogao bi biti otežan zbog posebne prometne regulacije i zatvaranja brojnih ulica u tom dijelu grada.
Koncert je, čini se, utjecao i na poslovanje izvan Novog Zagreba
Koncert je, čini se, utjecao i na poslovanje izvan Novog Zagreba. Trgovina Terra Organica, specijalizirana za prirodnu kozmetiku i eterična ulja, objavila je putem Instagrama da u subotu, 5. srpnja, neće raditi. Trgovina se nalazi u Ulici Antuna Bauera 16, a u objavi su kratko poručili: “Ako netko ne zna što će biti – u subotu 5.7. ne radimo.”
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Slično je postupila i knjižara Znanje, koja je najavila promjenu radnog vremena na lokaciji Gajeva 1. “U subotu, 5. srpnja, naša knjižara iznimno će raditi skraćeno – od 9 do 15 sati. Od ponedjeljka nastavljamo s redovnim radnim vremenom. Zahvaljujemo na razumijevanju”, poručili su kupcima.
Osim trgovina i obrta, promjene radnog vremena najavile su i neke banke i osiguravajuće kuće – među njima Croatia osiguranje i HPB. Više informacija dostupno je na njihovim službenim stranicama.
U svakom slučaju, ako u subotu planirate u šoping ili u banku, preporučujemo da prethodno provjerite radno vrijeme kako ne biste naišli na zatvorena vrata.

Sion (Switzerland), Jul 4: Italy secured what could prove to be a pivotal opening victory in the Women’s European Championship by beating Belgium 1-0. Arianna Caruso scored on the stroke of halftime on Thursday to give Italy an advantage in a tough Group B, which World Cup winner Spain is expected to top. The first two in the group will progress to the quarterfinals — and Belgium, Italy and Portugal will likely face a close battle for second. UEFA Women’s Euro 2025: Katariina Kosola’s Goal Secures Finland’s 1–0 Win Over Iceland in Tournament Opener.
Two-time runner-up at the Euros, Italy hasn’t reached the knockout stage since 2013. And the Azzurre will be cautious after winning their opener at the World Cup two years ago but failing to progress from the group. “Honestly, I don’t like talking about the past but I think you also need to learn from it,” Caruso said. “And it’s happened before that we’ve won the first match and then things haven’t gone well.
“So it’s right that we enjoy this victory, but from tomorrow we’ll be thinking about the next matches because they will be as important as this one.”
Italy coach Andrea Soncin immediately interjected, saying: “also tonight on the bus.” Caruso jokingly made a grimace before smiling. Italy plays Portugal on Monday and Spain four days later. Next up for Belgium is the world champion.
“We don’t have to make that game bigger than it is. It’s just a game. It’s against a really good team, but we have to create that mentality ourselves and create our own truth,” Belgium coach Elísabet Gunnarsdóttir said. She added: “We’ve trained like crazy people, I can tell you that, and the players are mentally and physically ready to play the next game, even if it’s against the world champions.”
Thursday’s victory was also revenge for Italy, which lost to Belgium in the group stage at Euro 2022 and came into the match on a streak of three straight defeats to the Red Flames. UEFA announced earlier that a minute’s silence would be observed at Euro 2025 matches on Thursday and Friday in memory of Portugal and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother, who were killed in a car accident in Spain.
That was observed impeccably at a packed Stade de Tourbillon in Sion.
The first half was finely poised, with a lot of good moves from both sides but a lack of final product as neither goalkeeper was really troubled. The most threat came from Belgium captain and all-time top goalscorer Tessa Wullaert and the Inter Milan forward had the best chance five minutes from the break. Her initial shot was blocked and she then sent her second attempt just wide of the left post. UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 Points Table Updated: Check Team Standings, Qualification Status of Each Group With Goal Difference of Football Tournament.
Italy broke the deadlock just four minutes later. Lucia Di Guglielmo picked out Caruso, who had been left completely unmarked on the edge of the area by the Belgian defense, and the Bayern Munich midfielder advanced into the left side of the box before cutting in and curling into the near top corner. Cristiana Girelli almost doubled Italy’s lead in stunning fashion in the 64th minute with a back-heeled attempt from close range that drew an impressively quick reflex save from Belgium goalkeeper Lisa Lichtfus to turn it away with her foot.
The ball then came out to Caruso but she fired narrowly wide. Lichtfus pulled off another crucial stop in the dying minutes to deny substitute Michela Cambiaghi as Italy had a number of chances to seal the result.
Spain was playing Portugal later in Bern.

This latest move follows the Union Ministry of Home Affairs’ recommendation to block 16 Pakistan-based YouTube channels after the recent act of terrorism in Pahalgam.
The Ministry alleged that these channels spread communally sensitive and provocative content as well as false information that targets India, its security agencies and armed forces. Besides the YouTube channels, social media profiles of numerous public figures from Pakistan, including actors Saba Qamar, Mahira Khan, Ahad Raza Mir, Yumna Zaidi, Danish Taimoor, Fawad Khan, Hania Aamir, and Mawra Hocane remain geo-blocked in India.
Moreover, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) has told Indian OTT platforms, digital intermediaries, and media streaming services to stop distributing web series, songs, podcasts, films, and other media content hailing from Pakistan. The Ministry’s advisory mentioned national security as the primary concern.

While attempting to catch a breeze in Isabel and Helen’s “Take Flight” art installation with interconnected windmills during the first (scorching) weekend of Coachella, a mysterious purple structure caught my eye. As I approached it, I noticed the yellow Takis logo in the corner. Figuring that the enclosed space was at the very least shaded and at best air-conditioned, I quickly got in line.
The neon-lighted activation features interactive walls guests can “graffiti” using special pens and plenty of photo ops, but I was most interested in free samples of the rolled tortilla chips, including the new Blue Heat flavor that tastes like Cool Ranch Doritos but crunchier and with more heat.
This was the first freebie I nabbed in the festival that’s become as much a showcase for elaborate headliner stage sets as it is for dynamic (and often pricy) food options. If you’re heading to the Empire Polo Club for Weekend 2, here are my vetted recommendations for where to eat and drink.
In the same area as the Takis, find Korean spice brand Buldak along with Hi-Chew gummies, and don’t miss Travis Scott’s “Mad Max”-reminiscent activation. The headlining rapper was in charge of “designing the desert” this year (though his influence isn’t felt much beyond this pop-up) and partnered with Erewhon to give out free ginger shots.
Eating and drinking your way through various brand freebies is a hack for anyone who’s trying to save money at the three-day festival that costs upward of $600 for general admission tickets. If you need something heavier than a snack (and you will), there are still plenty of affordable options scattered throughout the grounds.
At Indio Central Market, Italian deli All’Antico Vinaio is offering its signature focaccia sandwiches, including the festival-exclusive La Coachella with prosciutto, stracciatella, sun-dried tomato and basil. At $14, it’s the most expensive item on the menu. The rest of the sandwiches are $12 each.

Dallas-based Sandoitchi is just a few stalls down with a menu of Japanese sandwiches on fluffy white bread, including strawberry with chantilly cream, Spam and eggs, egg salad and chicken katsu. Most items are between $20 and $25, but if you’ve got money to burn, there’s an A5 Wagyu katsu and caviar sando for $250.
For a cool treat, stop by McConnell’s Ice Cream or Happy Ice, tucked on opposite corners of the food hall. You can also grab a fresh young coconut from Farmhouse Kitchen for $12 — get your money’s worth by scraping out the meat after you’ve finished the hydrating drink.
Near the Sonora Tent, Smorgasburg L.A. vendor Mano Po is bringing Filipino flavors to the festival, including longganisa lumpia that come six to an order for $14 (a veggie option is also available), a longganisa burger for $15 and garlic shrimp with rice for $22.

In the same area, College Boy Cheesesteaks is an L.A.-based pop-up from former Philadelphians who got sick of traveling back east to satisfy their craving for Philly cheesesteaks. The squishy Amoroso’s roll is packed with finely shaved Black Angus beef, fried onions and melted American cheese — though mushrooms and halal chicken are also available as fillings. I followed the advice of the person who took my order and added sautéed mushrooms and pepperoncini to my sandwich, bringing my total to $25. Without those additions, the cheesesteak is $18 on its own or $25 with fries.
Across from the Gobi Tent, the Aperol Piazza is an excuse to soak in aperitivo culture. Lounge under the umbrellas, take photos in the marigold-tinted space and learn how to make the perfect Aperol spritz.
Behind the piazza, you’ll find Postmates’Pizza Remix, featuring Prince Street Pizza’s signature Sicilian-style square slices topped with ingredients from local restaurants. I’m campaigning for them to add the slice from Bridgetown Roti, with honey-jerk chicken and mango chutney, to the permanent menu.
If Weekend 2 temperatures are similarly assaulting as they were at Weekend 1, you’ll want to seek out the tiki bar oasis in 12 Peaks VIP Area near Menotti’s coffee stand. Upon entry, you’ll find yourself under a cover of leaning palm trees, with a pond that laps up against a palapa bar serving tropical, fruity cocktails to a reggaeton-pop soundtrack that bounces between Sean Paul and Calvin Harris.

A breeze flows through the windows, and shaded benches border the pond-lake. It’s tempting to wait out the afternoon heat in this clandestine watering hole, evidenced by the long line of festivalgoers waiting for more people to leave so they can finally make their way in. Visit early to beat the crowds.
This year, two dining experiences competed as the most luxurious at the festival. Outstanding in the Field returned to the VIP Rose Garden with a multicourse family-style dinner served every evening at sunset. Held at a long communal table, the dinner includes wine pairings and a welcome cocktail from Gray Whale Gin, plus all-day access to the rose garden for those who purchased the dinner but don’t have VIP wristbands.
On Saturday, chef Diego Argoti of the Estrano pop-up and former executive chef of now-shuttered Poltergeist, brought a sense of chaotic whimsy to the feast with platters of battered frog legs drizzled with Sichuan pepper buffalo sauce, grilled beef tongue with strawberry puttanesca and refried lentils, plus a pandan butter mochi cake with rum raisin boba that glowed green thanks to a dusting of lime leaf sour patch.

Weekend 2 dinners will be prepared by Eric Greenspan, the newly appointed chef for Hollywood’s forthcoming Tesla diner; Wolfgang Puck’s son and protégé Byron Lazaroff-Puck; and Danielle and Alessandro Zecca of Highland Park’s Mexican-Italian restaurant Amiga Amore.
Coachella’s other opulent dining experience comes courtesy of global Nikkei restaurant chain Nobu, in partnership with Red Bull energy drink. Together, the brands have erected Red Bull Mirage, a multilevel playground across from the EDM-focused Quasar Stage. There are open-air booths facing the stage where guests can order bottle service with a la carte options from Nobu, while the interior features a chef’s counter with omakase service.
Those who have experienced the upscale restaurant might find the $350 tasting menu lacking — the fish is still fresh and high-quality, with popular items like rock shrimp tempura and yellowtail jalapeño, but not the signature black cod with miso.
For the second year in a row, 12 Peaks VIP Area was home to my favorite bites. Something Good was my first full meal at the festival, but the potato flautas proved memorable, with three, crispy king-size corn tortillas wrapped around garlic mashed potato and dressed with queso fresco, crema, cabbage, pickled red onion, cilantro and your choice of red or green salsa (I had mine doused with both).
Chubby Club comes courtesy of Chubby Group, behind Chubby Cattle BBQ in Little Tokyo, with a host of Wagyu and uni-filled options, including a savory uni ice cream with uni, sushi rice, soy sauce, wasabi and seaweed flakes piled into an ice cream cone. But it was the fried Wagyu and pork dumplings that stood out most to me. The chewy morsels come sopping in soy sauce and flecked with chile flakes, with a rich and juicy meat filling.
After attempting to order caviar-topped chicken nuggets at Camphor (they were sold out of nuggets), I found my caviar fix at Sumo Dog, a Japanese-inspired hot dog chain with multiple California locations. At $45, the wasabi and caviar tots are considerably cheaper than the $100 caviar nuggets served at Camphor.
The tots were crispy and well seasoned, topped with togarashi crème fraîche that carried a faint citrus taste with subtle heat. The wasabi sauce was sinus-clearing, with a generous portion of the black pearls gleaming on top. I found a grassy spot facing the Coachella Stage and waited for Megan Thee Stallion to begin her set, ready for some “real hot girl s—.”
Paul called early Christians “brother” even when he was admonishing them — which he often did, as he worked to explain God’s enduring love and Christ’s saving sacrifice on the cross. Consider Paul’s critical task; to grow the new Church and to spread Jesus’ message to all mankind. Paul took this task seriously, and also took seriously his leadership role.
In calling others “brother” and “sister” Paul immediately shows, with a simple affectionate salutation, that he does not feel himself above the people, but instead, with the people. Leaders today could do well to emulate Paul; a good leader encourages and supports others, but never puts himself personally above others.
Paul was also a loving leader, concerned for his team. In 2 Corinthians 2:13, Paul writes, “I still had no peace of mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.”
Here’s the backstory: With some anguish, Paul had written a letter to tell the Corinthians, telling them that they must correct a man among them (we don’t know what this man had done, but it was likely something against Paul or the Gospel). Paul had earlier sent Titus, himself an early missionary and church leader, ahead with this letter that grieved him to write, and he was expecting to meet Titus in the town of Troas, a Greek city located on the Aegean Sea, to learn the Corinthians’ response to it.
Paul did not find Titus in Troas, however. His co-worker in ministry was missing, causing Paul to feel “restless in his spirit.” Was Paul worried that something bad had befallen Titus? Was this a concern for their ministry? Unable to concentrate on the ministry, Paul returned to Macedonia.
Paul shows concern for his brother — a man who was essentially his co-worker — in spreading the gospel. And in 1 Corinthians 4:17, he calls another brother in Christ, Timothy, his “son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord.” Paul led from the heart; a heart for Christ, and a heart for his fellow man.
If you are a leader today, are you identifying with those you lead as individuals? And do you feel care and concern in your heart for them? If those you lead feel you care about their lives, they will often move heaven and earth to get things done for you. As President Ronald Reagan once said, “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” You cannot do this without identifying with those you lead.
Researchers are looking for answers and embarking on a special expedition following the 88th anniversary of the disappearance of American aviator Amelia Earhart.
The Purdue Research Foundation (PRF, based in Indiana) and Archaeological Legacy Institute (ALI, based in Oregon) announced on Wednesday the “Taraia Object Expedition” project.
Researchers will head to the remote island of Nikumaroro, which is halfway between Australia and Hawaii, according to a joint press release from the two agencies.
RARE CHRISTIAN CROSS AMONG SPECTACULAR 1,000-YEAR-OLD VIKING TREASURES FOUND BY METAL DETECTORISTS
While on the island, researchers will determine whether the “Taraia Object,” a visual anomaly captured by a satellite, is actually the remains of Earhart’s plane.
Earhart is widely known as an aviation trailblazer, becoming the first woman to fly solo across the U.S. nonstop on Aug. 24, 1932.

She once worked at Purdue University in Indiana, serving as a career counselor for women and advising the aeronautical engineering department while living in the women’s residence hall.
In an announcement of the new expedition, Purdue President Mung Chiang shared that “the Boilermaker spirit of exploration lives on.”

“About nine decades ago, Amelia Earhart was recruited to Purdue, and the university president later worked with her to prepare an aircraft for her historic flight around the world,” said Chiang.

“With such a great amount of very strong evidence, we feel we have no choice but to move forward and hopefully return with proof,” he added.
Earhart flew “The Electra,” which disappeared on July 2, 1937.

“Both Earhart and her husband and manager, George Putnam, expressed their intention to return the Electra to Purdue after her historic flight,” said Steven Schultz, senior vice president and general counsel at Purdue.

Researchers hypothesize that Earhart did not crash at sea, but instead landed and was stranded on Nikumaroro Island, later perishing there.
Only one Indian school has been recognised among the world’s top ten schools outside the US and UK, according to the HSBC Hurun Education Global High Schools 2025 report released by HSBC China and Hurun Education.

China ranks third with 9%. The surveyed schools are spread across 52 cities, led by London and New York, followed by Boston and Washington, DC.
Amazon Prime Day 2025 is fast approaching, and the sale is already underway on some items. To help you find the best early Prime Day deals, we’ve scoured Amazon for deals on the tech we love. As always, every deal we recommend here is on a product our reviewers have personally tested and approved—you won’t find any shoddy dupes or mystery brands here.
This year Prime Day runs for four days, July 8-11, rather than the usual two. That means there’s twice as long to suffer save. Twice as long to score a great deal on a new Amazon Fire Tablet, some AirPods, or a KitchenAid stand mixer.
Be sure to read our explainer on all the Amazon Prime perks you should be taking advantage of.
Updated Thursday, July 3, 2025: We’ve add deals on Amazon’s Kindle Essentials Bundle, Echo Spot, an Arlo security cam, two Tapo cams, the Jackery Explorer 300 power station, the Glimpse Sleep Mask, Brooklinen’s organic sheets, and more.
Kindle Essentials Bundle including Kindle (2024), Black Fabric Cover, and Power Adapter
If you’re looking to get a new Kindle and want a case, then snag this handy essentials kit while it’s on sale for Prime Day. It includes the latest basic Kindle, a fabric cover, and a power adapter (which is also handy since Kindles only come with a charging cord, no adapter). The bundle only comes with a black Kindle, but you can choose from a couple of cover colors. —Nena Farrell

Amazon’s Echo Spot (7/10, WIRED Recommends) sits somewhere in between being a smart speaker and a smart display. There’s now a small screen on the top half of the device that shows the weather and your calendar or the song you’re playing, but skips other features that smart displays pack. But if you just want a little visual assistance without a full-on recipe guide, I think you’ll actually love this one. —Nena Farrell

Amazon’s Eero Pro 6E (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a tri-band mesh that adds the 6-GHz band to the familiar 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands. If you have a 1 Gbps or faster connection and lots of devices, this is a great mesh system for you. It performed extremely well in our tests, though the 6-Ghz band is short-range.

This deal is for the Fire Max 11 (5/10, WIRED Review) bundle, with keyboard. The Fire Max 11 is Amazon’s nicest Fire tablet, but if you’re thinking of doing work, keep in mind that Google’s various office apps won’t work. If you don’t need those, this is a serviceable tablet. The screen is bright and sharp enough, the speakers aren’t bad, and the cameras are 1080p.

Easily the best audiobook service, Amazon’s Audible Premium Plus gives you access to a library of Audible Originals, audiobooks, and podcasts, one credit per month to use on any audiobook title you fancy, and regular exclusive deals and discounts. Prime members can have three months for free right now (one month for non-Prime members), after which it costs $15 per month.
It may not be the best music streaming service, but Amazon Music Unlimited earned an honorable mention in our guide. Four months of free service for Prime members (three months for non-Prime members) will be enough to tempt some folks to try it.

The iPad (A16) (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a USB-C port, a Touch ID sensor integrated into the power button, a 12-megapixel rear camera, and a 12-MP selfie camera in landscape mode (with support for Center Stage). You also get 5G on the cellular model. The A16 chip is the same one in the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, and iPhone 15 Plus. It’s plenty powerful, but there’s not enough RAM to support Apple Intelligence, making it the only iPad in the lineup without access to Apple’s artificial intelligence features (possibly a feature depending on your stance on AI).

MacBook Air (M4, 2025)
Would it surprise you to know that this is the laptop I am typing on right now? Probably not. The Air is one of the most popular laptops around, and for good reason. You get a powerful, portable laptop with outstanding battery life for under a grand. If your workload is graphics-intensive, you might want to go for the 14- or 16-inch MacBook Pro, but for the rest of us, the Air is the Apple laptop to get.

AirPods Pro 2 (With USB-C)
Apple’s latest AirPods Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are ubiquitous for good reason. They’ve now got USB-C in the charging case, and this latest version sounds better than ever before. They have an IP54 sweat- and dust-resistance rating, and the noise-canceling is top-tier. Pair that with six hours of juice and a case with a speaker to help use Apple’s “Find My” feature, and you have a winning combo.

The Watch Series 10 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best Apple Watch for most people. It does not have blood oxygen sensing, which is truly preposterous given that almost every other fitness tracker on the planet has it, but it can tell if you have sleep apnea, which otherwise requires a disruptive sleep test to diagnose. The Series 10 is thinner and lighter, so it’s more comfortable to wear while sleeping, and it has fast charging, so it can track more of your activities during the day.

The gateway drug of Apple Watches, the entry-level SE is a compelling deal. It doesn’t have the latest standout health features, but it’s compatible with watchOS 11, so you’ll be able to take advantage of the new Vitals app, and it has the S8 chip, which offers support for features like Crash Detection. It remains the best Apple Watch for the money.

The Beats Flex are the best headphones for Apple users under $100. They feature quick pairing, easy access to Siri, and seamless Apple Music integration, thanks to Apple’s W1 chip, which ensures a rock-solid wireless connection to iOS devices. We were able to get 12-hour-plus battery life, which is good enough for a few workdays of tunes between trips to the wall charger.

The Beat Solo 4 headphones offer clear and buttery-smooth sound, with good instrumental separation. As you’d expect, there’s hands-free Siri and Apple Spatial Audio support, and they come with a compact carrying case for easy packing. Note that there’s no noise canceling or transparency mode, no auto pause feature, or water-resistance rating.

Anker
MagGo Power Bank for Apple Watch
For those overnight trips it’s nice to have a power bank capable of charging up your Apple Watch. This Anker power bank has a handy pop-up Apple Watch charger that can deliver 5 watts and supports Nightstand mode. It also has a built-in USB-C cable and a USB-C port, so you can deliver up to 30 watts to your phone or another small device.

Our top pick watch for Samsung fans, the Galaxy Watch7 features a nice rounded design—the accented 20-mm straps add a nice touch—though it is a little plain. This model infuses artificial intelligence algorithms to improve your health tracking data, like the Energy Score and updated sleep tracking capabilities.

Surface Laptop Copilot+ PC (7th Edition, 2024)
The Surface Laptop (7th Edition) is the best Surface device for most people. If you’re looking for a lightweight and reliable Windows PC with good battery life, look no further. This deal is on the higher-end 13-inch model, with a Snapdragon X Elite processor, 16-GB RAM, and a 1-TB SSD. Performance was excellent in our testing, although this is not a machine for graphics-intensive tasks like video editing or gaming.

The Acer Aspire Go 14 (7/10, WIRED recommends) won’t win any style or performance awards, but it holds up well as an incredibly affordable Windows laptop. The one major thing it has going for it is fantastic battery life. I was able to hit upwards of 14 hours on a charge, which could make this a great budget option for students who need something that’ll last a whole day on campus. —Luke Larsen

HP’s Chromebook Plus x360 is a good 2-in-1 Chromebook. Its design is nondescript, but the Intel Core i3 chip is plenty speedy for Chromebook workloads, it’s lightweight, and the 2-in-1 design means you can watch movies in tent mode. The speakers sound decent and get surprisingly loud, and the 1,920 X 1,200-pixel resolution is sharp on this 14-inch IPS LCD panel.

This Wi-Fi 7 mesh router offers expansive coverage and is very fast on all bands. You get a good selection of multi-gig Ethernet ports and it’s easy to set up and use. The downside is the price, but this deal helps out with that. You’ll need a HomeShield Pro subscription for online protection and full parental controls.

Philips Hue
Gradient Smart Lightstrip
With impressive brightness and rich colors, this light strip is easily configurable via the Hue app. There are countless animated scenes to choose from, and it syncs with music or your TV screen when paired with a Play HDMI Sync Box. You can extend or cut this versatile light strip to fit any space, but it’s best tucked away in a recessed spot to reflect light. However, it doesn’t look terrible if you do get a glimpse, thanks to the diffuser. —Simon Hill

Tapo Wire-Free MagCam (Battery)
This outdoor camera records video at up to 2K and 30 frames per second, has a 150-degree field of view, and connects directly to your Wi-Fi. The Tapo app detects motion (person, pet, vehicle) and enables you to set activity zones and privacy zones. Slip a microSD card in for local recording or subscribe to Tapo Care for 30-day video cloud storage. It lacks HDR but is still a top camera and runner-up in our best outdoor security cameras guide. —Simon Hill

Baseus
Mini Retractable USB-C Cable
Avoid tangles with this smart retractable cable from Baseus. It’s one of the best USB-C cables you can get, comes in a few fun colors, and has a flat cable rolled up inside a circular case. Pull the USB-C ends and you can fix it at preset lengths (1.1, 1.9, 2.7, or 3.3 feet). When you’re done, just pull and release and it coils back up neatly inside the case. It’s good for charging at up to 100 watts. —Simon Hill
Photograph: Simon Hill
This little power bank has a 25,000-mAh capacity and can deliver up to 165 watts to two devices (it tops out at 100 watts for a single device connected via USB-C). The retractable cable is nice, and the clever braided 1-foot USB-C cable doubles as a carry loop. It has a display to show the remaining battery, charging rate in and out, battery temperature, and health.

Ugreen’s 145-watt charger, with 25,000-mAh battery, is surprisingly compact for the power it provides. There are two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. What sets the Ugreen apart is that you can actually draw 145 watts while charging. That works out to one USB-C port at 100 W and the other at 45 W.

LaCie’s padded drives are great for travel. They’ll stand up to considerable abuse in your bag, and the SSD versions like this one are plenty fast enough for backups on the go. This drive has been supplanted by the new LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5, which is quite a bit faster, but this version is still great and a steal at this price.

Western Digital
SN850X NVMe Solid State Drive
The best deal here is the 8-TB version of this blazing-fast drive. Western Digital claims up to 7,300 MB/s read speeds, and in benchmark tests, this drive’s results came very close. To take full advantage of the speed, you’ll need a system that supports the PCIe 4.0 SSD standard, but this is a great drive if you want to upgrade a gaming system.

Lexar
128GB Professional 2000x SDXC Memory Card
I’ve been shooting with Lexar’s Professional 2000x SDXC Memory Cards for eight years now, and the very first one I ever bought is still going strong. It’s also still one of the fastest cards I have. The UHS-II (U3) speeds go up to (and sometimes over) Lexar’s claimed 300MB/s, and it has no trouble with 5.2K video.

The Nikon Z6 III (8/10, WIRED Recommends) features Nikon’s 24-megapixel partially stacked CMOS sensor, a very fast and accurate 3D subject-tracking system, and ProRes encoding for video—making it one of the best hybrid, photo/video cameras on the market. It’s our favorite Nikon mirrorless camera.

Samsung’s flagship S95D OLED TV (8/10, WIRED Recommends) stands out among the best TVs due to its matte-like screen. This can make black levels look less dramatic in some lighting, but it does wonders for bright rooms, dissipating even direct reflections. The TV matches that with searing brightness, deep and vivid colors, excellent picture processing, and tons of features like a built-in hub for cloud gaming. Now near its lowest price ever, it’s a great buy. —Ryan Waniata

Sony’s Theater Quad system (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a unique soundbar-style solution, offering some of the best single-box 3D immersion you can buy in a discreet profile designed to disappear on your wall. Each of the four iconspicuous rectangles harbors four drivers, filling your room with cinematic sound. It’s a tough ask at full price, but if you want thrilling cinematics from a system no one sees coming, now’s the time to pounce. —Ryan Waniata
Sony’s slick and capable Bravia Theater 9 soundbar is an also-ran on our best soundbars list due to a price that stretches beyond its spoils compared to top rivals. At a sizable discount, then, the Theater 9 goes from a yellow light to green, offering slick, single-bar Dolby Atmos and surround sound performance, intuitive control, and a spare HDMI 2.1 input for a game console. —Ryan Waniata

However, if you want something at the intersection of reliability, features, and affordability, this feeder, the top pick in our guide to the Best Smart Bird Feeders, is your best bet. This model is especially appealing as it comes with both a lifetime subscription and a solar panel to keep it charged. —Kat Merck

Hydro Flask
Standard Mouth Water Bottle
Hydro Flask has several types of bottles and caps available in a bunch of fun color options.

In our years of testing, this has proved the most durable water bottle. —Boutayna Chokrane

Ninja
8-in-1 Woodfire Outdoor Oven
Ninja’s cute and compact outdoor oven (7/10, WIRED Review) is temperature accurate, versatile, and adds a touch of smokiness without you needing to mess with the complexity (or size) of a full smoker. It’s idiot-proof and affordable; we love it for decks and those with limited outdoor cooking space, since you can do a lot of things with it. —Adrienne So
Yeti reinvented the cooler, and we thank them for it. The roto-molded Tundra is built like a tank with 3-inch-thick insulated walls, and in our testing it kept ice frozen for six days in blazing 90-degree-Fahrenehit heat while stored in direct sunlight on WIRED reviewer Adrienne So’s deck. I managed to get five days out of it in the insane humidity of Florida in the spring. A Yeti hard-sided cooler is the best cooler around. Note that this deal is only on the one, wine-colored Tundra. —Scott Gilbertson

I like this Yeti for the wide mouth and heavy zipper that never sticks. It’s free-standing, and at 14.25 inches wide, it’s the perfect size for bungeeing to the top of a paddleboard or bike rack. It has both a grab handle on top and a shoulder strap, which provide plenty of points to carabiner a small dry bag or pair of flip-flops. As with the above deal, this is limited to a single color: “Key Lime.” —Ryan Waniata

Of all the portable charcoal grills I’ve tested, the Weber Jumbo Joe remains my favorite. It strikes the best balance of affordability, features, and ease of use. It’s big enough (18.5 inches in diameter) to smoke two racks of ribs or to fit burgers and corn for six people (admittedly, this was crowded), but small enough that you’ll still have room in the trunk for a cooler and camping supplies. —Scott Gilbertson

Biolite’s FirePit+ is a sleek, portable, mesh box with removable legs, a hibachi-style grill, and an ash bin. It has a rechargeable 10,400 mAh battery that can power 51 air jets for up to 26 hours. This allows you to precisely control the flame, and to some extent, the heat of the fire. The FirePit+ can burn charcoal or wood and, thanks to the fans, you don’t need a charcoal chimney and you’ll never struggle to get a fire burning. —Scott Gilbertson

Our favorite portable power station, the Explorer 2000 Plus, has everything you need. It’s got plenty of ports, supports fast charging, and the 2,042-watt-hour capacity will keep you running for days. You can charge it speedily from your AC outlet, but it also works with solar panels, like Jackery’s SolarSaga 200-W Solar Panel. Just be aware that it weighs a hefty 62 pounds. —Simon Hill

It has two USB-C ports (18 W and 100 W), one USB-A (15 W), a car port (120 W), and an AC outlet (300 W, 600 W surge). That’s enough to keep your small gadgets going, and when the power runs out, simply unfurl the book-sized 40-watt solar panel. It took me around eight hours to charge it from the sun. —Simon Hill

Squeeze Water Filter
When I’m not testing something else, this is the backpacking water filtration system I use, and it’s never let me down. It’s our top pick for ultralight hikers and backpackers. It weighs just 3 ounces and has a filtration level of 0.1 microns (which gets rid of E. coli, salmonella, giardia, cryptosporidium, and other common problems). The Squeeze also connects to any 28-mm diameter soda bottle (your basic 20-ounce Coke bottle, for example). —Scott Gilbertson

I have yet to do a trip with a satellite communicator, but I do understand why people use them. If I were to bring one along, this is the one I’d get. It’s tiny, light (3.5 ounces), and easily stashable. It utilizes the super-fast Iridium satellite network, so you can send a rapid SOS from pretty much anywhere. There are extra features like waypoints and interval tracking, and it plays nice with compatible Garmin watches. —Scott Gilbertson

Instant Vortex 9-quart Air Fryer with VersaZone Technology

The best budget Dyson vac, the Digital Slim is basic, but powerful. It lacks some of the features on newer models. For example, instead of a single power button, it still has a trigger you have to hold down while vacuuming. You’ll do get a Motorbar cleaner head, a combination tool, and a crevice tool in the box. It’s not compatible with fancier accessories like the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head that shoots out a green laser to spot microscopic dust. We have seen the price dip lower on sale, but this is still a solid deal. —Nena Farrell

The down alternative comforter’s shell and fill are made with eucalyptus, which makes it nice and cooling in the summer, but the blanket itself is heavy and warm enough that it works well in winter too. It’s basically perfect. It also has loops for a duvet. —Louryn Strampe

As seen in our guide to the Best Air Purifiers, Shark’s NeverChange doesn’t sport a filter you never have to change, but it does last up to five years.

This dual camera has 3K high definition, with 360-degree rotation up top, and a stationary camera below for even more coverage (plus it can be mounted upside down). There’s also live view and two-way chat, night vision, and 6X zoom. AI detection alerts to things like barks, meows, loud noises, and fire, so you can receive notifications for anything alarming. I love that the dual cameras let me keep an eye on my pets (and everything else) while away. At $60, this is a great deal for a super nice pet cam. —Molly Higgins

This is the best sleep mask overall. It’s affordable and stylish, with many different colors to choose from. It’s also soft, lightweight, and breathable thanks to its mulberry silk construction. The elastic band isn’t too tight, and the mask does a solid job at blocking out most light. And I like that it comes with a drawstring case, so I don’t misplace it easily. —Louryn Strampe

Bellissima
Italia Diffon Supreme Ionic XL
This is the best diffuser for curly hair. I reach for it all the time. The hourglass design makes it easy to hold and maneuver around your noggin, and it’s easy to store, too, thanks to its compact design. It doesn’t dry your hair super-fast compared to other dryers—it added about 10 minutes to my normal drying time—but the sleek, frizz-free curls are worth it. —Louryn Strampe

This awesome sleep mask has an outer flap that lets you peer into the outside world. It still does a good job of blocking out light, but when you need to check the time or want to figure out what that weird airplane noise was, you don’t have to completely remove the eye mask to do it. It also comes with earplugs and a carrying case, and the mask has a silky, cooling exterior that puts me right to sleep. —Louryn Strampe

GHD has something of a cult following due to its reliability and unique features like a single temperature setting (365 degrees Fahrenheit) and fun little chime to let you know it’s heated up. We tout it as a more affordable alternative to the popular GHD Chronos (7/10, WIRED Review) in our guide to the Best Hair Straighteners, and at $73 off, it’s about as good a deal as you’re going to find on a GHD. —Kat Merck

Philips Sonicare 4100 Electric Toothbrush
There are countless Philips Sonicare electric toothbrushes to choose from, but I keep coming back to the trusty 4100. Its gentle vibrations are easier on gums than the more aggressive oscillating brushes. You get a two-minute timer, two intensity settings, and a pressure sensor to protect your enamel. Battery life is excellent, lasting about two weeks per charge, and the built-in BrushSync tech lets you know when it’s time to replace the head. It’s simple, smart, and under $50. —Boutayna Chokrane

Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus
We’ve loved the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus (8/10, WIRED Recommends) for a while. It dries and styles in one go with a 2-inch oval barrel and four heat modes (including a cool setting). The detachable head makes it easy to pack or stash in a drawer, and the ceramic titanium tech reduces heat exposure by 50 percent. It’s a smarter (and safer) upgrade from the original version—which had recall issues overseas—and a cheaper alternative to Drybar tools. —Boutayna Chokrane
MOŽDANI udar jedan je od vodećih uzroka smrti u svijetu, a prema podacima Centra za kontrolu i prevenciju bolesti (CDC), njegova učestalost je u porastu. Iako na neke čimbenike rizika ne možemo utjecati, svakodnevne navike mogu igrati veliku ulogu u prevenciji.
Liječnica dr. Simran Malhotra naglašava da male, dosljedne navike poput zdrave prehrane, kvalitetnog sna i izbjegavanja alkohola i duhana mogu znatno smanjiti rizik od moždanog udara. Prema istraživanjima, čak 84 posto moždanih udara povezano je s promjenjivim životnim stilom. Stoga stručnjaci izdvajaju četiri stvari koje bismo nakon 17 sati trebali izbjegavati kako bi se smanjio rizik.
1. Kasna večera
Iako kasni obroci mnogima djeluju kao navika, mogu predstavljati rizik za zdravlje mozga i srca. “Kasni obroci mogu poremetiti cirkadijalni ritam tijela i negativno utjecati na krvni tlak i metabolizam”, kaže dijetetičarka specijalizirana za zdravlje srca Michelle Routhenstein za EatingWell.
Istraživanja su pokazala da je večera nakon 21 sat povezana s većim rizikom od moždanog udara u usporedbi s ranijim obrocima. Sličan rizik uočen je i kod kasnog doručka, što upućuje na to da vrijeme unosa hrane može imati veći utjecaj na zdravlje nego što se prije mislilo.
2. Ležanje na kauču nakon večere
Večernji odmor uz televiziju ili mobitel može se činiti bezazlenim, ali dugotrajno sjedenje noću – osobito ako danju već sjedimo – povećava rizik od moždanog udara. Jedna velika studija otkrila je da fizički neaktivne osobe mlađe od 60 godina koje provode više od osam sati dnevno gledajući TV, koristeći računalo ili čitajući imaju tri i pol puta veću vjerojatnost da dožive moždani udar.
“Šetnja od 20 minuta nakon večere može pomoći probavi i regulaciji šećera u krvi”, kaže dr. Malhotra, dodajući da to pomaže u prevenciji predijabetesa, dijabetesa, povišenog tlaka i na kraju – moždanog udara.

3. Konzumacija alkohola navečer
Večernje opuštanje uz alkohol mnogima je navika, ali novi dokazi upućuju na to da i umjerene količine mogu štetiti. “Alkohol povećava upalu i oštećuje stanice”, kaže liječnica dr. Troy Alexander-El.
Jedna od najvećih međunarodnih studija o riziku od moždanog udara otkrila je da su umjereni i visoki unosi alkohola povezani s većim rizikom, a čak i konzumacija pet ili više pića samo jednom mjesečno povećava vjerojatnost moždanog udara. Stručnjaci preporučuju zamjenu večernjeg pića biljnim čajem ili bezalkoholnim koktelom.
4. Prekasno odlazak na spavanje
Kasnonoćno gledanje TV-a, listanje po društvenim mrežama ili rad može imati negativne posljedice za zdravlje.
“San je temelj dugovječnosti i najpodcjenjenija životna navika”, kaže dr. Malhotra. Istraživanja pokazuju da premalo sna (manje od pet sati) povećava rizik od moždanog udara za 33 posto, ali i da previše sna (više od osam sati) taj rizik povećava čak za 71 posto. Cilj bi trebao biti oko šest do osam sati sna, uz dosljedne sate spavanja i buđenja svaki dan, čak i vikendom.

Four years before Kimberly Gallagher enrolled in Medicaid herself, the public health insurance program’s rules prompted her to make an excruciating choice — to give up guardianship of her son so she could work as his caregiver.
Now, another proposed twist in the rules could mean that, even though Missouri pays her to do that work, she might still have to prove to the state that she’s not unemployed.
The Kansas City, Missouri, resident has cared for her disabled son, Daniel, for all 31 years of his life. A rare genetic condition called Prader-Willi syndrome, in addition to autism, left him with an intellectual disability; a constant, excessive hunger; and an inability to speak. His needs left Gallagher, an elementary school teacher by training, with little opportunity to work outside her home.
As congressional Republicans consider slashing about $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending, Gallagher is among the 18.5 million Americans who could be required to prove that they work enough to keep their health insurance.
Budget bills in the House and Senate would require 80 hours of work or community service a month for adults who are insured through the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion program, which has allowed states to extend Medicaid coverage to more adults with low incomes. Forty states, plus Washington, D.C., have expanded their programs, additions that now cover about 20 million Americans, including Gallagher.
She enrolled in the coverage in December 2023, after she could no longer afford her private insurance. Before her husband died of cancer in 2019, the couple paid for private insurance and supported themselves on the income he earned as a master watchmaker. After his death, Gallagher was left to earn a living and find insurance on her own. At 59, she’s too young to collect her husband’s Social Security survivor benefit.

The Medicaid program that pays for in-home care for Daniel and 8,000 other Missourians with disabilities allows family members to be compensated for caregiving, but only if they’re not the legal guardian of the person they care for. So, Gallagher went to court to give up her rights to make decisions for her son and transfer authority to her parents.
“I think it’s appalling that it’s required, but it was necessary,” she said. “There was no way I could work outside of taking care of Daniel.”
Republicans have touted Medicaid work requirements both as a way to reduce federal spending on the program and as a moral imperative for Americans.
“Go out there. Do entry-level jobs. Get into the workforce. Prove that you matter. Get agency into your own life,” Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, said in a recent interview on Fox Business.
Democrats, meanwhile, have cast the requirements as bureaucratic red tape that won’t meaningfully increase employment but will cause eligible people to lose their health insurance because of administrative hurdles.
Indeed, the vast majority of Americans enrolled in Medicaid expansion are already working, caregiving, attending school, or have a disability, according to an analysis by KFF, a health information nonprofit that includes KFF Health News.
And while the Congressional Budget Office estimates the work requirement included in the House bill would cause 4.8 million Americans to lose their insurance, only about 300,000 of those people are unemployed because of lack of interest in working, according to the Urban Institute, a nonprofit research group. Recent history in states that have tried work requirements suggests technical and paperwork problems have caused a substantial portion of coverage losses.

Still, the provisions are generally popular among Republican lawmakers and the public. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), who has repeatedlycautionedagainst cutting people off from Medicaid, has signaled support for adding work requirements.
And 68% of Americans favor the requirement described in the House bill, according to a recent poll conducted by KFF. But support for work requirements dropped as low as 35% when respondents learned that most Medicaid recipients already work and could lose their coverage because of paperwork requirements.
That’s what happened in Arkansas, where 18,000 people lost their Medicaid coverage in 2018 after the state phased in a work requirement. Thousands more were on pace to lose coverage in 2019 before a federal judge halted the requirement, largely over concerns about coverage losses. In discussions with focus groups, KFF found that many Arkansas Medicaid participants did not fully understand the requirements, despite the state’s outreach efforts, and some people didn’t receive mailed notices. Others were confused because the work-reporting paperwork and separate forms to renew Medicaid coverage asked for similar information.
Many family caregivers would be exempt from the work requirements proposed in Congress, but Gallagher probably would not, since she had to relinquish guardianship of her son to be paid for the work. While the hours she already logs should be enough to satisfy the requirement, she’ll need to report them again — unless the state can identify her through its existing data. But Missouri has a history of procedural problems in the state agency that administers Medicaid.

In early 2022, for example, Missouri was taking more than 100 days on average to process applications for Medicaid expansion, a wait that prompted patients to put off needed care and was more than twice the processing time allowed by federal law.
And 79% of the more than 378,000 Missourians who lost Medicaid coverage when covid-era enrollment protections ended in 2023 did so because of procedural reasons.
The next year, a federal judge ruled that Missourians were illegally being denied food aid by the state, in part because insufficient staffing at call centers left eligible people without assistance.
“They’re historically understaffed,” Timothy McBride, a health economist at Washington University in St. Louis, said of the state agency that administers Medicaid and food assistance. “I think that’s really the underlying problem.”
McBride’s analysis of Missouri’s Medicaid recipients found that fewer than 45,000 of the people enrolled in expansion in 2023 were unemployed for reasons other than caregiving, disability, attending school, or retirement. But more than twice that many Missourians could lose their insurance if work requirements prompt disenrollment rates similar to Arkansas’ implementation, according to a study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a left-leaning think tank that analyzes government policies.
The estimate assumes many otherwise eligible people would still lose coverage as a result of falling through the cracks, McBride said.
Hawley, who backed the Senate bill, declined to comment for this article. The senator previously told reporters that “we can sort that out” when asked about eligible people inadvertently losing Medicaid because of work requirements.

Gallagher worries about her coverage, because she recently was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disorder that attacks the thyroid gland. She said she had to search for her Medicaid card to fill the prescription that followed, having barely used it in the year in a half she’s been covered.
She also worries about her son’s Medicaid. A nursing home is not a realistic option, considering his needs. His coverage doubles as Gallagher’s only source of income and also pays for other caregivers, when she can find them, who give her breaks to tend to her own health and to her aging parents.
But nearly all in-home services like those Daniel receives are optional programs that states are not required to include in their Medicaid programs. And the magnitude of the cuts being proposed have prompted fears that the optional programs could be chopped.
“It would destroy our lives,” Gallagher said. “The only income we would have would be Daniel’s Social Security.”
One pressing concern in discussions about vegetable oils is the presence of hexane residue. Hexane, a chemical solvent widely used in industrial extraction, raises health concerns regarding potential residual amounts in the final product after refining. The 4th Edition of the Vegan India Conference Is Set To Open Its Doors.
The extraction process consists of soaking seeds or nuts in hexane to dissolve the oil. Once extracted, the oil undergoes refining steps such as degumming, neutralizing, bleaching, and deodorizing. While these processes reduce hexane levels, some traces may remain, prompting concerns about safety for consumption.
Health experts and consumers are increasingly questioning the implications of oils with potential hexane residues. This awareness underscores the importance of scrutinizing oil production methods and the labeling of cooking oils to make healthier choices. As more individuals recognize these factors, there is a growing movement toward selecting oils that are not only refined but also free from harmful solvents and chemicals. By staying informed, we can navigate the complexities of modern cooking oil and make choices that support our health and well-being. Top Maharashtrian Restaurants To Explore in Mumbai.
The nutritional impact of refined cooking oil is significant.
Trace Residues in Refined Oils
The refining process aims to eliminate hexane, yet trace amounts may remain. However, these levels are typically very low and regulated to meet strict safety standards.
Health Considerations
Hexane levels in refined oils generally remain well below established safety limits. Still, it’s important to be aware of potential exposures. While the health risks associated with these trace residues are minimal, being informed contributes to a comprehensive approach to health.
Nutritional Impact of Refined Oils
The refining process, including hexane extraction, can alter the nutritional profile of oils, reducing certain vitamins and beneficial compounds found in unrefined oils.
Environmental and Industrial Considerations
Hexane’s use in oil extraction is closely regulated to minimize its environmental impact. The oil industry continually refines practices to lessen the environmental footprint of refining processes.
Sensitivities and Reactions
While uncommon, some individuals may have sensitivities to refined oils, and any adverse reactions are typically mild. Awareness of personal sensitivities and consultation with healthcare professionals are essential if negative effects arise.
Just like all products from the Tata group, Tata Simply Better offers a range of cooking oils that empower users to avoid harmful side effects often associated with cooking oils. Under the expert guidance of nutrition advisor Sakshi Lalwani, vital insights have emerged, providing healthy and safe choices for housewives. By staying informed about cooking oil, families can take proactive steps to prevent major health issues in the future.
Understanding hexane’s role in the oil refining process enables consumers to make enlightened decisions about kitchen oils. Educating ourselves on these topics empowers us to take control of our health and dietary choices. Cold-pressed oils shine as a hexane-free option, celebrated for their antioxidants, vitamins, and beneficial properties—making them an inspiring choice for cooking.

PSI SU NAŠI vjerni prijatelji, a njihovo povjerenje jedno je od najljepših darova koje možemo primiti. Međutim, mnogi vlasnici zbog užurbanog života i svakodnevnih obaveza često ne primjećuju signale koje im ljubimci šalju. Veterinar Mark Dos Anjos je za portal PetHelpful otkrio osam jasnih znakova koji pokazuju da vam pas potpuno vjeruje i da vas doživljava kao člana svog čopora.
1. Spavaju blizu vas
Pas se osjeća najranjivije dok spava. Ako vaš ljubimac spava pored vas, to je znak da se uz vas osjeća sigurno i zaštićeno. Psi koji nemaju povjerenja radije će odabrati mjesto što dalje od ljudi.
2. Prihvaćaju vaše vodstvo u svakom trenutku
Slijede vaše vodstvo, čak i kad ih iznenadno probudite. Neki bihevioristi smatraju da nas psi mogu ugristi ako ih iznenada probudimo jer su šokirani, dok drugi misle da je to povezano s manjkom povjerenja. Pas koji vam vjeruje neće imati problem s vašim vodstvom bez obzira na situaciju.
3. Spavaju na leđima
Kad pas leži na leđima i pokazuje trbuh, on vam pokazuje maksimalno povjerenje. U prirodi mladi vukovi ovakvim ponašanjem iskazuju submisivnost starijim članovima čopora, a nikada to ne rade pred onima kojima ne vjeruju.
4. Prate vas po kući
Pas koji vas prati iz sobe u sobu ne radi to iz tjeskobe, već zato što želi biti uz vas. Takav pas će biti smiren i kad je sam ili s drugim psom, za razliku od pasa koji pate od separacijske anksioznosti.
5. Naslanjaju se na vas
U veterinarskoj ambulanti često se vidi kako se psi koji su već uspostavili odnos s vlasnikom naslanjaju na njega kad su nervozni. Ovo je jasan pokazatelj da pas smatra svog vlasnika sigurnim utočištem.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
6. Pozdravljaju vas lizanjem lica
Iako neki vjeruju da psi ližu lice kako bi tražili hranu, to je ujedno i način na koji mladi vukovi pokazuju submisivnost i naklonost prema članovima čopora. Ako vam pas pokuša polizati lice, time pokazuje da ste mu obitelj.
7. Lako ih je trenirati
Osim što pasmine igraju veliku ulogu u tome koliko je pas podložan učenju novih stvari, važan je i odnos s vlasnikom. Najbolji rezultati treninga postižu se kad osoba koja trenira psa ima s njim snažnu emotivnu vezu i kad ga pas doživljava kao svog vlasnika.
8. Gledaju vas ravno u oči
Kad vas pas gleda u oči, u njegovu se tijelu oslobađa oksitocin, hormon sreće povezan s osjećajem bliskosti. Iako psi ponekad gledaju u oči kako bi tražili hranu ili maženje, često vas gledaju jednostavno zato što uživaju u vašem društvu.
Kako dodatno ojačati povjerenje psa?
Veterinar naglašava da uvijek postoji prostor za poboljšanje odnosa sa psima. Čak i ako mislite da ste napravili sve, uvijek možete učiniti još nešto kako biste dodatno učvrstili povjerenje.
Igrajte se više s vašim psom – Neki psi obožavaju povlačenje konopa, drugi loptice ili skrivene igračke. Kroz igru pas razvija osjećaj sigurnosti i radosti.
Trenirajte psa svakodnevno – Ne trebaju to biti dugi treninzi; dovoljno je ponavljati osnovne naredbe poput “sjedi”, “dođi” i “čekaj”. Osim što će to učvrstiti poslušnost, trening jača emotivnu vezu.
Šetajte psa najmanje tri puta dnevno – Šetnja nije važna samo za fizičko zdravlje, već i za mentalnu stimulaciju kroz istraživanje okoline i mirise.
Vodite ga sa sobom na izlete – Ako je moguće, povedite psa na vožnju autom, planinarenje ili kampiranje. Vaš pas će cijeniti svaki trenutak proveden s vama, čak i ako ne možete biti stalno usredotočeni na njega.

In a surprising yet welcome twist in the console wars,Helldivers 2, the explosive, cooperative third-person shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios will make its long-awaited debut on Xbox Series X|S on 26 August 2025.
The announcement, made via Xbox Wire and confirmed during a recent livestream, also highlights an unprecedented moment: Sony is publishing one of its major titles on a rival platform.
Set in a galaxy where chaos and tyranny threaten peace,Helldivers 2 casts players as elite soldiers of Super Earth, battling to spread Managed Democracy across the stars. The game has been available on PlayStation 5 and PC since earlier this year, garnering a dedicated fanbase for its intense cooperative action and dynamic real-time Galactic War.
Now, Xbox players will have the chance to join the fight, complete with cross-play functionality that allows seamless matchmaking across platforms.
“We know gamers have been asking for this for some time and we are so excited to bring more Helldivers into our game,” said Game Director Mikael Eriksson in the post on Xbox Wire. “The more players we have, the more stories we can tell. The fight for Super Earth has only just begun.”
Tools of Galactic Justice
At the heart ofHelldivers 2 lies a rich arsenal of customisable primary weapons and strategic support options known asstratagems, which can be summoned mid-battle to rain destruction upon foes. Whether combating insectoid Terminids, ruthless Automatons, or the mysterious and technologically advanced Illuminate, players are encouraged to embrace chaos for the sake of interstellar freedom.
The War Never Sleeps
Unlike static campaigns,Helldivers 2’s Galactic War evolves in real-time. Players across the world contribute to a collective struggle, liberating planets, completing operations, and turning the tide in favour of Super Earth’s expansion. It is this ever-changing conflict that keeps the community engaged and invested.
A Historic Publishing Moment
The launch date of 26 August is noteworthy not only forHelldivers 2’s Xbox arrival, but also for its coincidental overlap with another cross-platform milestone:Gears of War: Reloaded, traditionally an Xbox-exclusive franchise, is set to release on PlayStation 5 the very same day,reported IGN.
Pre-orders for both the Standard and Super Citizen Editions ofHelldivers 2 are now live on Xbox, offering early access bonuses and exclusive in-game gear.

The visit concluded with an engaging interaction with the CFO, Sandeep Modi, offering valuable insights into the company’s strategy and outlook.
Refined metal production is expected to reach 1,180kt by FY27E, supported by ongoing debottlenecking initiatives aimed at achieving full utilization across HZL’s smelting complexes. HZL’s silver segment has emerged as a key earnings pillar and is expected to play an increasingly important role in driving profitability.
We maintain our positive stance on HZL, primarily driven by the strong earnings outlook from its high-margin silver segment. While silver volumes declined in FY25, we expect a rebound as the fumer plant ramps up, with production projected to reach about 750 tonnes by FY27E.
For FY26E, management has guided for 700–710 tonnes of silver output. In FY27E, we expect incremental gains of ~30tonnes as the fumer operates at optimal levels. This ramp up should significantly boost both topline and profitability, reinforcing silver’s role as a core growth engine.
We continue to value HZL at 11x FY27E EV/EBITDA multiple to arrive at our revised target price of ₹551/share
Perched along the Pacific Coast Highway with an oceanfront view, Gladstones Malibu has long served as a pit stop for residents and road trippers looking to refuel over mai tais and clam chowder. Now, following nearly six months of closure due to damage sustained in the Palisades fire, the iconic restaurant will reopen its outdoor deck for dining on July 4.
“We just wanted to have something where the community could gather and have a place to visit while they’re visiting their place of residence … and feel a bit of normalcy after such a devastating event,” said Jim Harris, the restaurant manager and chief executive of Gladstones Legacy Group.

The Palisades fire led to at least 12 deaths and the loss of more than 5,400 homes. At least six Gladstones staff members lost their homes in the fire, according to associate general manager Alex Peniston. Gladstones itself was saved in large part due to the heroic efforts of Engine 238, said Harris — though the back of the main building was burned, leaving toxic smoke damage throughout the main dining room and “soccer ball-sized ashes” that damaged furniture on the deck.
A staple on PCH since 1981, community members mourned the temporary closing of the restaurant on social media and raised nearly $30,000 on GoFundMe to support staff in the aftermath of the blaze.

“Gladstones is as iconic as any restaurant in Los Angeles and definitely a place where people can relive the good old days,” said Peniston, who said regulars constantly texted him wondering when the business was going to reopen. “Luckily, Gladstones has been through a lot of openings or proposed closings and reopenings, so we’ve got some practice doing it.”
Gladstones received the green light from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to open its auxiliary kitchen and outdoor public deck in early June, said Harris. Since then, it’s been a sprint to reopen the public deck for the summer season, with construction ongoing right up until the launch. Harris hopes the main dining building — which has to undergo more extensive repairs — can reopen by next spring.
Harris confirmed the restaurant’s famous deck will offer a truncated menu — and no brunch service — but that visitors can still expect classics like calamari, burgers and Bloody Marys.
For the month of July, the restaurant is offering 50% off food and drinks to Malibu and Palisades residents as well as first responders.
Harris and partners also said the reopening represents the resilient spirit of the Pacific Palisades.
Gladstones has been a staple on PCH since 1981. “We wanted to become a community center for people who lost their homes,” said architect Stephen Francis Jones.

“The idea was that we wanted to become a community center for people who lost their homes,” said architect Stephen Francis Jones, who is leading the redesign of the deck and surrounding outdoor areas, which seat 250 people, as well as the auxiliary kitchen and the main dining building.
The new deck design will have a “warm feeling with accents of white,” said Jones, who swapped the old graying deck for new wood flooring and teak furniture. A raised platform will offer a more elevated experience with lights strung between lofty palm trees.
But the highlight of the new design is what Jones calls the “community circle,” a sectioned-off area near the patio’s entrance where people can lounge with drinks from the walk-up bar if they don’t care to dine in. The alcove features a fire pit surrounded by four eight-foot-tall walls, which local artist Jonas Never brought to life with murals depicting the neighborhoods that intersect at Gladstones — Malibu, the Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica.
“We always envisioned that that might be the place where people that haven’t seen each other in a long time want to catch up with what’s going on,” Jones said.
The northern wall depicts a 1953 Corvette coming down PCH from Malibu — the driver and passenger “obscured by the glare of the sunset in order to make the view anyone’s California dream,” said Never. The southern wall, to be completed later this summer, will depict the Santa Monica Pier at sunset. The eastern wall spells out “Gladstones,” the block letters filled in with depictions of beach life. And the final wall depicts local places and businesses lost in the fire, including Reel Inn, Malibu Feed Bin, the Business Block Building, Wylie’s Bait and Tackle, Moonshadows, Rosenthal Wine Bar, Topanga Ranch Motel, Cholada Thai Cuisine and Tahitian Terrace.
“I drove past almost all of them for so much of my life that I feel some sort of connection to each one of them,” said Never, who described the mural as a “memorial wall” that can offer residents a place to grieve and keep memories alive.

“They were landmarks … and it makes the survival of Gladstones that much more special,” he said. “It’s the perfect place to honor the memories of the places lost in the fire.”
When the main building reopens next year, Harris said the vision is to transform the dining room’s open floor plan into a space with distinct pockets that speak to different eras of the restaurant’s history. A mural originally commissioned by its most recent owner and former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan will still display in the restaurant’s overflow room.
The back room, which was once original owner Bob Morris’ office, will be transformed into a speakeasy. A room upstairs will become a bridal suite and green room for private events.
The distant future remains unclear, as a forthcoming restaurant from celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck and famed architect Frank Gehry was meant to take over the location following Riordan’s death in April 2023 — though development has stalled. Gladstones Legacy Group, formed by longtime staff, was brought on by L.A. County as the restaurant’s operator to ensure the location did not fall into disrepair in the interim. The group is currently working towards extending its concession agreement with the county until the current Coastal Development Permit expires in 2029, according to a county representative.
“Gladstones is expected to continue operating until the developer of the replacement facility is ready to begin construction,” said chief deputy director Amy Caves of the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors. “Unfortunately, when that will happen is hard to predict, but the development process is ongoing, and the California Coastal Commission is tentatively scheduled to hold a hearing on the project later this year.”
Puck’s business partner, developer Tom Tellefsen, told The Times that his team is “anticipating commencing construction in early to mid 2026.”
In the meantime, Harris said his team is “planning on being here as long as the county needs us to hold the place.”
“We’re looking forward to just having a great summer and again, being a place for people to gather,” he said.
Most travelers hope for speedy security lines and simple layouts at airport — but some of America’s travel hubs apparently soar above the rest.
A recent survey of over 2,300 people identified one airport in the Pacific Northwest as the best in the country — thanks in part to its decor plus its food and drink offerings. Therapy llamas are even available on occasion to help ease pre-flight jitters for those in need.
The analysis, done by The Washington Post, solicited responses from readers and looked at more than 450,000 Yelp reviews. Researchers collected data on gate capacity, parking and more for over 450 public airports and narrowed the list down to the top 50.

“The best airport is the one that fills your needs and gets you to your final destination with minimal interruptions,” Sheldon Jacobson, an engineering professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, told Fox News Digital — noting that the country’s most trafficked airports did not make the list. (He was not affiliated with the new survey.)
Counting down from 10 to 1, here are the airports that stood apart from the rest, according to the survey.
10. Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW)
Michigan’s DTW landed at No. 10 on the best U.S. airports list, with flyers marveling over its underground LED tunnel that shuttles them through concourses.

TVs can be tricky to buy. Whether you read our exquisite guide to the Best TVs or not, you probably won’t find every top model at your local Walmart, Best Buy, or Costco. And when you’re browsing retail websites, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by marketing speak like HDR, QLED, or “local dimming.” That’s why we’ve collected a few tips, tricks, and terms to help you shop smarter when buying a new TV. Think of this as a checklist to consider before you buy your next big screen.
Be sure to check out our guide to the Best Bookshelf Speakers, Best Soundbars, and our How to Buy a Soundbar Guide for other helpful hints on how to upgrade your home theater.
Updated June 2025: We’ve added new information with the latest in TV tech, including RGB LED, new OLED displays, HDMI 2.2, and updated pricing and TV options.

What Size TV Should You Get?
TCL 6-Series

When it comes to screens, bigger is better, right? Sure, but that doesn’t mean you should always spring for the largest size. Pricing on bigger models continues to drop, but it can still get out of hand quickly, and you should always make sure you have room for all that screen footage. If you’re watching your budget, common cheap TV performance issues like screen aberrations, inaccurate colors, and mediocre image processing may be harder to overlook on a bigger canvas, so you’ll want to balance your size and performance needs equally.
Under 55 Inches
Some high-end OLED TVs have smaller sizes so they can double as computer monitors, but most TVs below 55 inches are largely nonstandard these days. Many manufacturers still make models below this size, but you likely won’t get the latest and greatest performance.
55-Inch TVs
This is the smallest standard size for modern TVs. It’s generally considered ideal for the small-to-average room in a home or apartment, but if you have a larger space, you may want to size up. Be aware that TVs this size and larger often come with feet on both ends of the screen; if you’re not wall-mounting, make sure you measure the width of your TV stand to ensure it can hold your new TV. That said, we’re seeing even midrange models switching to adaptable feet and/or pedestal stands more often.
65-Inch TVs
This has long been the default option for larger living rooms or for spaces where you’re going to have many eyes watching at once. As TV tech has improved and prices have dropped, 65-inch models have started to become the standard for many, though it should be noted that they may dominate your decor to some extent in smaller rooms. If you have the extra cash and space, it is worth the upgrade for those who love seeing details even closer in films and TV shows.
75 Inches and Above
I only recommend TVs this size and larger for people who have huge rooms and are looking for a truly cinematic experience. Buyer beware: Pricing on TVs this large can get quite pricey (well above $2,000 for higher-end models). Cheaper ones (under $1,000) might not look great due to limitations in processing and panel lighting. Be prepared to have a professional or a group of friends help you move and mount a screen this large.
What Screen Resolution Do You Need?
TCL 8K TV
Photograph: TCL
Resolution means the number of pixels on your screen. Modern TVs come in 1080p “Full HD” resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels), 4K Ultra HD or “UHD” (3,840 x 2,160), and 8K “8K UHD” (7,680 x 4,320) variants. TVs below or above 4K UHD resolution are relatively rare but for opposite reasons: Full HD screens are now old tech and are reserved for only the smallest and cheapest models; 8K resolution is available mostly on expensive, big-screen TVs and 8K content is still virtually non-existent.
What’s the difference? More pixels! 4K TVs have about four times the number of pixels as 1080p screens, and 8K TVs have about four times that of 4K models, or 16 times (!) that of 1080p. In theory, this means a much clearer picture than 4K TVs, but that’s not necessarily the reality. Because the pixels in a 4K TV at standard sizes (55-65 inches) are already packed so densely into the display, you may not be able to see the difference between 4K and 8K TVs unless you’re watching from a close range or on a very large screen (75 inches or above).
The lack of 8K content also means most of the video you’re watching will need to be upscaled, or raised to the TV’s resolution by its internal processing system. For this reason, if you’re buying an 8K TV, you’ll usually want to buy a more premium model with good upscaling from a brand that makes them regularly, like Samsung’s QN900 series.
Stick to a 4K UHD screen for now, unless you’re a high roller.
What Is Backlighting?
TCL 5-Series

All TVs—besides OLED and some specialty Micro LED models—use a combination of LED backlighting passed through a multi-layer substrate. There are layers that make the color and image, as well as a layer that lights said image so we can see it, controlled by the TV’s internal processing. These lighting systems have a big impact on how good your LED TV screen looks in terms of contrast (the differences and definition between dark and light objects) and color.
POSLIJEPODNEVE i večernje imaju veću ulogu u kontroli šećera u krvi nego što mnogi misle. Nutricionisti upozoravaju na šest navika koje, ako se prakticiraju nakon 17 sati, mogu dovesti do nestabilne glikemije preko noći i nepovoljnih jutarnjih vrijednosti glukoze. Evo kojih navika su stručnjaci izdvojili za portal Eating Well.
Obilni obroci i grickalice bogate ugljikohidratima
Kako se bliži večer, tijelo smanjuje proizvodnju inzulina i postaje manje osjetljivo na njega. To znači da se glukoza slabije obrađuje, što može dovesti do povećanja šećera u krvi.
“Rafinirani ugljikohidrati poput bijelog kruha, tjestenine, slatkiša i gaziranih napitaka posebno su problematični u večernjim satima jer izazivaju brze skokove šećera koje tijelo tada teže regulira”, ističe nutricionistica Michelle Routhenstein.
Konzumacija alkohola u večernjim satima
Iako čaša vina može djelovati opuštajuće, alkohol u večernjim satima ometa regulaciju šećera. Routhenstein upozorava da “alkohol može u početku sniziti šećer, ali potom izazvati njegovo naglo povećanje tijekom noći i poremetiti san”.
Jetra tada daje prednost razgradnji alkohola, zanemarujući regulaciju glukoze, što dodatno destabilizira šećer tijekom noći, prenosi Eating Well.
Nedostatak sna ili nekvalitetan san
Večernji manjak sna ili neredovit ritam spavanja može negativno utjecati na inzulinsku osjetljivost. Istraživanja pokazuju da već i jedna noć lošega sna narušava podnošljivost glukoze.
“Nedostatak sna povećava razinu kortizola, hormona stresa, što dodatno podiže razinu šećera”, pojašnjava nutricionistica. Osim toga, manjak sna povećava apetit i želju za ugljikohidratima sljedećeg dana.

Nedovoljna hidracija
Ako navečer ne unosite dovoljno tekućine, šećer u krvi postaje koncentriraniji. “Dehidratacija može smanjiti osjetljivost na inzulin i posljedično povisiti šećer”, kaže dijetetičarka Alyssa Pacheco. Ipak, savjetuje da ne unosite prevelike količine vode neposredno prije spavanja kako ne biste remetili san.
Previše sjedenja i nedostatak aktivnosti
Tjelesna neaktivnost nakon večere može značajno smanjiti učinkovitost inzulina. “Kratka šetnja od pet do deset minuta unutar sat i pol nakon obroka može pomoći u snižavanju šećera u krvi”, ističe Pacheco. Ako nemate uvjete za šetnju, dovoljni su i lagani čučnjevi ili istezanje.
Preskakanje večernje rutine za opuštanje
Visoka razina stresa navečer može dovesti do povišenoga kortizola, što negativno utječe na šećer. “Ljudi često razmišljaju samo o prehrani kada je riječ o šećeru, no stres i kvaliteta sna igraju jednako važnu ulogu”, dodaje dijetetičarka za Eating Well.
Jednostavne navike poput čitanja, meditacije, istezanja ili tople kupke mogu sniziti razinu stresa i pridonijeti boljoj kontroli glukoze.

VRUĆI dani mogu biti opasni, ne samo za ljude nego i za pse. Dok temperature drastično rastu, stručnjaci upozoravaju vlasnike pasa da pripaze na jedan ozbiljan problem – dehidraciju.
Veterinarka Sadie Spencer ističe da psi gube tekućinu brže nego što većina ljudi misli. “Dehidracija se kod pasa, mačaka i drugih kućnih ljubimaca može razviti vrlo brzo. U težim slučajevima može biti i po život opasna”, upozorava.
Psi ljeti trebaju više vode
Baš kao i ljudi, psi tijekom ljeta trebaju više tekućine. Više dišu i dahtanjem gube više tekućine, što ih čini ranjivima na pregrijavanje. Zbog toga je važno da im stalno bude dostupna svježa i čista voda, kako u kući, tako i na otvorenom.
Dehidracija se događa kada pas ne unosi dovoljno vode ili izgubi previše tekućine kroz aktivnost, dahtanje ili vrućinu. Ako se ne primijeti na vrijeme, može doći do oštećenja organa, pa čak i do kolapsa.
Znakovi koje ne smijete ignorirati
Veterinarka Spencer navodi simptome na koje svaki vlasnik pasa treba obratiti pažnju:
suhi nos ili ljepljive desni
uvučene oči
izraženi umor, tromost ili slabost
gubitak apetita
koža koja ostaje “naborana” nakon što je lagano uštipnete
u najgorim slučajevima – potpuni kolaps
Jednostavan test za dehidraciju
Spencer savjetuje jednostavan test koji možete napraviti kod kuće: “Palcem i kažiprstom uštipnite malo kože na vratu ili glavi psa. Ako se odmah vrati u prvotni položaj, pas je dobro hidriran. Ako se koža vraća sporo ili ostaje zategnuta, riječ je o dehidraciji.”
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Napominje da test može biti manje pouzdan kod starijih pasa, onih s prekomjernom ili premalom tjelesnom težinom ili kod pasmina s puno opuštene kože.
Kako zaštititi psa od dehidracije?
Mijenjajte vodu više puta dnevno
Dodajte kockice leda u posudu za dodatno osvježenje
Rasporedite nekoliko zdjelica s vodom po kući i dvorištu
Na šetnje nosite bocu vode i sklopivu zdjelicu
Ponudite psu pseće smrznute poslastice kao dodatni izvor tekućine
Nikako nemojte ostavljati psa u autu ili u zatvorenim prostorima poput zimskog vrta, čak ni na nekoliko minuta. Temperatura može brzo porasti i postati smrtonosna.
Kada je sigurno šetati psa?
Tijekom dana, od 11 do 15 sati, asfalt i beton mogu biti toliko vrući da doslovno spaljuju šape. Spencer savjetuje: “Ako ne možete držati dlan na površini pet sekundi, znači da je prevruća za šape vašeg psa.”
Najsigurnije vrijeme za šetnju je rano ujutro (prije 9 sati) ili navečer (nakon 18 sati), po mogućnosti u hladu.
Ako primijetite bilo koji znak dehidracije ili toplinskog udara, ne čekajte – odmah se obratite veterinaru ili najbližoj hitnoj veterinarskoj službi. Pravovremena reakcija može spasiti život.

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.
POJAVILA se informacija da u Hrvatsku stiže Action – jedan od najvećih europskih trgovačkih lanaca, najavljen kao “rezač cijena”. O tome je u Novom danu na N1 govorio poslovni savjetnik Drago Munjiza. Nizozemski Action najavio je da će sljedeće godine otvoriti trgovine u Hrvatskoj i Sloveniji.
O kakvoj se trgovini radi i što nudi u svojoj ponudi?
Riječ je o diskontu neprehrambenih proizvoda koji se posljednjih godina širi velikom brzinom po Europi. Iako se ne radi o klasičnom supermarketu, Action u ponudi ipak ima i manji izbor hrane i pića, uglavnom proizvoda s dugim rokom trajanja.
Glavni fokus je na kućanskim potrepštinama, kozmetici, dekoracijama, tekstilu, igračkama i sezonskim sitnicama – dakle na robi široke potrošnje izvan prehrambenog sektora.
Trgovina je prvi put otvorena 1993. godine u nizozemskom gradu Enkhuizen, a danas ima više od 3000 lokacija u 14 zemalja, uključujući Njemačku, Belgiju, Francusku, Austriju, Italiju i Španjolsku. Hrvatska i Slovenija najavljene su kao iduće na redu, no točne lokacije prvih trgovina kod nas još nisu poznate.
Iz Actiona navode da tjedno posluže gotovo 20 milijuna kupaca, a dodatno ih nekoliko milijuna pregledava ponudu putem web stranice i aplikacije.
Više od 6000 artikala i niske cijene
Kupci koji su već posjetili Action u inozemstvu najčešće ga uspoređuju s lancima poput TEDi-ja ili Pepca, ali s nešto širim izborom za kućanstvo. Action na svojoj stranici navodi da u stalnoj ponudi ima više od šest tisuća artikala, a trgovine redovito uvode tjedne promocije i sezonske kolekcije.
Pregledom web stranice, većina proizvoda nalazi se u cjenovnom rangu do pet ili deset eura, a značajan broj artikala – osobito manjih potrepština – može se pronaći i za manje od jednog eura. Istovremeno, u ponudi postoje i skuplji proizvodi čije cijene mogu prelaziti 20 eura.

Iz Actiona navode da čak dvije trećine njihovih proizvoda stoji manje od dva eura. Kažu da niske cijene održavaju zahvaljujući jednostavnom poslovnom modelu, standardiziranoj ponudi i nabavi velikih količina iste robe.
Sve trgovine imaju jednak osnovni asortiman, što im omogućuje efikasnu logistiku i kontrolu troškova. Osim toga, ne ulažu znatno u marketing niti u skupe gradske lokacije – većinu trgovina otvaraju izvan užih gradskih središta – s ciljem da cijene za kupce ostanu što niže.
U ponudi dominiraju njihove vlastite robne marke, ali povremeno se mogu naći i proizvodi poznatih brendova kao što su LEGO, Vileda, Coca-Cola, Reese’s, The Pink Stuff, Nivea i drugi.
Većinu asortimana čine proizvodi za dom i svakodnevnu upotrebu. U ponudi su kućanske potrepštine poput posteljine, deka, svijeća, lampi, ukrasa za zidove i vaza, kao i kuhinjski pribor – od čaša, tava, tekstila, do aparata poput tostera, kuhala za vodu i air fryera. Segment za čišćenje posebno je razrađen: uključuje sve od sredstava, metli, spužvi, kanti, krpa do električnih četki i organizatora.
Osim toga, Action ima bogatu DIY sekciju s bojama za zidove, tapetama, alatom i dodacima za auto. Za ured i školu tu su bilježnice, pribor i razni organizatori, dok je ponuda igračaka raznolika – uključuju puzzle, figurice, plišance i igračke za bebe.
U kategoriji za vrt nude vanjsku rasvjetu, suncobrane, vaze, alat, dekoracije, bazene i roštilje, a u ponudi imaju i kategoriju za putovanja s koferima, ruksacima, šatorima i drugim dodacima. Tu je i odjeća, donje rublje, kupaći kostimi, modni dodaci, sportski rekviziti poput torbi, utega i prostirki te asortiman za kućne ljubimce – od igračaka do hrane i proizvoda za njegu.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
U trgovinama se može pronaći i dio s osnovnom multimedijom – uključujući punjače, powerbankove, baterije, slušalice i maskice za mobitele. I kao što smo već naveli, imaju i dio s hranom, a online su u toj kategoriji navedeni proizvodi poput keksa, grickalica, slatkiša, čokolade, instant-jela i pića.
Što mogu očekivati hrvatski kupci?
Ako je suditi prema iskustvima iz drugih zemalja, Action bi mogao postati popularan među kupcima koji traže praktične i povoljne proizvode za dom, bez velikog oslanjanja na poznate brendove. Mnogi ga opisuju kao trgovinu u koju uđeš “samo baciti oko”, a izađeš s punim vrećicama stvari koje ti možda i nisu bile na popisu – ali si ih uzeo jer su bile jeftine.
Za sad ostaje samo čekati službenu potvrdu lokacija u Hrvatskoj, ali jasno je da će Action, kada stigne, konkurirati diskontnim trgovinama koje su već poznate domaćim kupcima – ali s nešto drugačijim pristupom i širim, dinamičnijim izborom robe.

Mumbai, July 3: The Indian women’s football team produced another commanding performance in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers, dismantling Iraq 5-0 at the 700th Anniversary of Chiang Mai Stadium on Wednesday. India led 2-0 at half-time. First-half goals from Sangita Basfore and Manisha set the tone before a dominant second half saw Karthika Angamuthu, Phanjoubam Nirmala Devi, and Nongmaithem Ratanbala Devi add to the scoreline, taking India’s goal tally to an impressive 22 from three games, all without conceding a single goal, as per a press release from All India Football Federation (AIFF). India Women’s Football Team Head Coach Crispin Chettri Targets Improved First-Half Performances As Race to AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers Heats Up.
With this result, the Blue Tigresses remain unbeaten, having now claimed three wins in as many matches. India is currently atop Group B with nine points and a goal difference of +22. With Thailand, currently second in the group, set to face Mongolia later in the day, the stage is perfectly set for a high-stakes showdown between India and Thailand on July 5. With only the group winner progressing, it will be a winner-takes-all affair.
On Wednesday, India, coming off thumping wins against Mongolia (13-0) and Timor-Leste (4-0), were high on confidence and wasted no time in asserting their authority. Crispin Chettri’s side played with fluency and control, showcasing impressive cohesion across all areas of the pitch.
From the opening whistle, India seized control of possession and used the full width of the pitch to stretch the Iraqi defence. Their midfielders dictated the tempo with intelligent passing and quick transitions. India almost took the lead in the ninth minute through a corner, which was flicked goalward but superbly saved by Iraq goalkeeper Khalat Alzebari.

However, the pressure told just five minutes later. Sanju delivered a curling corner from the left, and Alzebari came off her line but failed to punch clear. The ball fell kindly for Sangita, who made no mistake with her header to open the scoring.
India continued to carve open opportunities. In the 35th minute, Manisha let fly from distance and saw her thunderous strike rattle the crossbar. But just before the break, the forward would not be denied. In the 44th minute, she received the ball at the top of the box, took a touch, and sent a low shot goalwards.
What seemed a tame effort somehow trickled past the Iraqi defence and under Alzebari, who was caught flat-footed. Trailing 2-0 at the break, Iraq made a change between the sticks, replacing Alzebari with Faeza Mahmood. But the momentum remained firmly with India.
Barely three minutes into the second half, Karthika Angamuthu produced the moment of the match. Spotting the substitute goalkeeper off her line, she unleashed a stunning lobbed strike from over 25 yards that dipped perfectly into the net, much to the delight of her teammates.

India continued their relentless press, with wave after wave of attack keeping Iraq pinned back in their own half. The fourth goal arrived in the 68th minute through Nirmala Devi, who collected a pass in midfield, took a few steps forward, and fired a long-range effort into the back of the net, showcasing yet again India’s comfort and confidence in shooting from distance.
The final goal of the afternoon came in the 80th minute. Substitute Ratanbala Devi made a darting run into the box and had her initial shot parried by Mahmood. But she reacted quickly, pouncing on the rebound to slot home and seal India’s third straight victory of the campaign.

Sapthami Gowda, who achieved pan-India fame with her appearance in Kantara, will soon be making her Telugu debut with Thammudu. The action-drama, starring Nithiin, will hit theatres on July 4. Ahead of the film’s release, Sapthami interacted with media to talk about her working experience in Thammudu.
Talking about her role in the film, Sapthami stated, “My look here may resemble my Kantara look, but my character Ratna is very different. She brings fun in an otherwise serious storyline. My role is impactful, even if not lengthy.”
Among emerging markets, the top three or four have very good balance sheets, like China, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico, India, said Mervyn Shanmugam, Executive – Emerging Markets, Sanlam Investments Group, in a conversation with businessline.
“In our view, the best balance sheet, best macro-economic conditions are in India,” he said, adding that domestic consumption of the economy supports the growth, “which is very different from, for example, China, which also has a very high savings rate, but they don’t consume the manufacture.”
What is your take on passive versus active funds? Is there any difference in India in the concepts?
It’s difficult for active managers to outperform passive managers, because markets are just so efficient. From an equities point of view, passive business has doubled in the last five-six years.
Another reason why the passives business has doubled is because of access to international products. If you look at the growth of our passives business, most of it actually came from access to international products. Most of the flow of funds into these passive products has been coming into internationally-managed products, and at low cost.
In India, it’s a slightly different experience. Here, you have about 5,000 stocks. We’ve seen active managers outperform the benchmarks by a large margin. Compare more than 5,000 stocks here with South Africa, where we only have 324 stocks, 1/10 the size of your market. The flexibility that asset managers or investment managers have here, which allows them to take risk beyond the benchmark, should help them achieve those results.
I also see the trend of institutional investors, mostly because of cost, going towards passive products. Passive is the future; it is not an absence of active in the immediate future. It’s going to be a gradual process where you will have, as more investable money comes in, and people reset their expectations on returns, because we are still expecting returns, far higher than the long-term average. You can’t beat the bond debt market consistently for a long period of time. I think we are at a very early stage today.
You come from an Alternatives set-up. How is the market for alternatives evolving in India?
The regulator has done well with the framework for alternative managers to invest in and also provide access to the retail market. In most other places in the world, alternatives are only reserved for institutional investors like family offices. India is very fortunate to have regulations that allow investors to invest in alternatives so easily.
As for the various asset classes, you have private equity, VC, infrastructure, real estate, private debt or credit — all growing well. The VC market is very active; funds are being raised. In India, they seem to be mostly like regional, but that’s probably because of relationships, and the way they work.
And you also have REITs and InvITs — the listed REIT products look very attractive; India’s infrastructure programme for international investors sounds interesting — most of the big institutions in the world are here participating.
The private equity market is quite strong.
What I’m really encouraged about is the private credit market, which is new in India, but because of the regulatory arbitrage between what banks can do, what they can fund and what they cannot, it presents a massive opportunity for investors to come in and fund, like bankable transactions and earn some really good spreads.
How do you view the emerging markets?
A weak dollar is good for emerging markets. In the last six months, things have turned positive for emerging markets. But among emerging markets, the top three or four have very good balance sheets, like China, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico, India. In our view, the best balance sheet, best macro-economic conditions are in India.
There’s always exogenous factors like the wars, and there will always be cycles. Cycles are becoming shorter and tighter.
Coming to the geopolitical situation, what’s your view on the current market scenario globally and India?
We had quite a few of them over the last couple of years; there will be an impact on markets, whether it just disrupts supply chains or impacts currencies. This latest round can be severely detrimental, it’s difficult to quantify what the impact will be. But the markets in India have not really shown much reaction till now.
If inflation is kept low, then you will see bond yields stable. And if bond yields are stable, then that underpins the entire economy. The domestic consumption of the economy supports the growth, which is very different from, for example, China, which also has a very high savings rate, but they don’t consume the manufacture. From that perspective, India should be better cushioned than the rest of the world.
There is always more to discover in California. When restaurant critic Bill Addison took on the challenge of writing a guide to the 101 best restaurants across the state, his intention was to compile the places that told the richest, broadest story of here right now. It’s an answer that’s meant to evolve.
Expect more regional guides from Addison soon, but in the meantime, we’ve asked The Times readers where our critic should venture to next — maybe a remote town in Santa Ynez wine country or the forested north near the Oregon border. Here are some of their suggestions:
“Chi Chi’s in Saugus or Simi Valley,” writes Zena Torres, who says she prefers those locations over others in Canyon Country and Northridge. “The fresh made whole wheat rigatoni with meat sauce is my favorite. I am convinced that no one and no place on earth can make a better antipasto salad with the house vinaigrette. It’s addicting and they’ve ruined me, I can’t order antipasto salad anyplace else, because they’re always lousy by comparison.”
Beyond that, Torres recommends Addison visit cities like Sunland and Tujunga in the east San Fernando Valley, as well as Santa Paula, Fillmore, Ventura and Oxnard.
Bonny Ahern suggests, “Truffle Bistro on Tustin Street in the city of Orange.”
“Check out Lil’ Vegerie in Redondo Beach,” writes Leah Felton. “Amazing and delicious, even carnivores love the food!”
“Chi’s has the best Chinese food in the area, and is always packed,” writes Susan Parker, who suggests more exploration in the northwest San Fernando Valley, including Chatsworth, Northridge and Granada Hills.
Parker, who says she lived in New York City for a number of years, is also a fan of Brent’s Deli, which was added to The Times’ list of Hall of Fame restaurants in 2022.

Tracy Dauterman shares Addison’s appreciation for the Hidden Kitchen which is named on Addison’s statewide dining guide, but recommends diving deeper into California’s Central Coast.
The Alchemists’ Garden, Parchetto, Il Cortile, the Hatch, Della’s and in bloom are some of Dauterman’s favorite restaurants in Paso Robles, along with Brydge in Cambria.
Edmund Brewer recommends visiting the region north of Sacramento to the Oregon border, and to use Cafe Maddalena and Cornerstone Cafe in Dunsmuir, as well as Farwood Bar and Grill in Orland, as starting points.
In Ventura County, Billy Koskoff recommends a visit to Hozy’s in Santa Paula.
Kasey Crettol Noordmans suggests Addison check out Annex Kitchen in Fresno, as well as the broader Central Valley region.
Closer to home, David Parker suggests Redbird in downtown L.A., Boneyard Bistro in Sherman Oaks and Girl and the Goat in the Arts District. Parker suggests Addison visit Santa Ynez next.
In San Diego, Michael Bradford recommends the fish tacos at local chain Oscars Mexican Seafood. Nearby, Therese Conlin is a fan of Wildland in Carlsbad.

A well-made, durablecarry-on is an essential piece of luggage for every traveler, but especially for those hitting the road for business. Whether you’re flying across the country for a conference or heading overseas for an off-site retreat, you’ll need sleek, sophisticated luggage that’s as functional as it is polished. The best carry-on luggage for business travelers offers thoughtful compartments to keep you organized, smooth-rolling wheels to glide through security, and tough exteriors that can handle wear and tear trip after trip. Bonus points go to carry-ons with front pockets for easy laptop access and interior compression straps that make packing bulkier items—like dress pants or jackets—a breeze.
This story is part of The New Era of Work Travel, a collaboration between the editors of WIRED and Condé Nast Traveler to help you navigate the perks and pitfalls of the modern business trip.
ILLUSTRATION: Alex Green
To help you find the perfect suitcase for your next work trip, editors from Condé Nast Traveler and WIRED teamed up to test and select the best carry-on luggage for business travelers. Below, you’ll find our top picks: long-lasting, tech-forward suitcases built to keep up with you, wherever you’re headed.
How We Tested
Each of these carry-ons was road-tested by an editor from Condé Nast Traveler or WIRED, with durability, size, weight, and aesthetics in mind. The ones that made the cut can comfortably hold several outfits, shoes, and essentials without tipping the scales, because you need to be able to lift your bag into the overhead bin with ease. We also prioritized smart organizational features and, of course, good looks—especially important when traveling in business class.
The Zipper Carry-On Max with Front Pocket
Dimensions: 23″ x 15″ x 10.3″ Weight: 8.1 lb.
Durable, roomy, and elegantly designed, Arlo Skye’s Carry-On Max is a favorite among frequent flyers. Traveler’s associate articles director Megan Spurrell calls it her all-time favorite carry-on, and readers have voted Arlo Skye the best luggage brand for two years running. “I take it as a carry-on for most flights—from weekend trips to weeklong getaways—because it’s surprisingly roomy, with an organized front pocket that I can easily stow essentials like my laptop, book, and magazines in,” says Spurrell. It also includes a removable charger (USB-C and USB-A ports), two shoe bags, a laundry bag, and a cotton storage cover.
Pros: Laptop-protective front pocket Cons: Limited color options
Away The Softside Bigger Carry-On
Dimensions: 21.9″ x 15″ x 9.1″ Weight: 9.2 lb.
Away’s latest nylon carry-on is as functional as it is beautiful. It opens drawbridge-style for easier access in your hotel room compared to the usual clamshell design. The striations on the front expertly conceal a spacious front laptop pocket and a small zipper pocket, and the interior has ample storage as well. In place of compression straps, there’s a double-sided compression panel with pockets on the front and back, as well as a large pocket on the underside of the lid. “Everything about this bag is designed to move smoothly through the airport,” says WIRED senior commerce editor Adrienne So. She especially appreciated the stabilizer, which prevents tipping—even when topped with an overstuffed tote.
Pros: Stylish, excellent interior organization, easy to maneuver Cons: Heavier than hard-shell options
Dimensions: 22″ x 15″ x 9.5″ Weight: 8.6 lb.
Looking for sophisticated luggage for your next business trip? Carl Friedrik delivers. This sleek, trunk-style carry-on is designed for luxury travelers who value aesthetics and performance in equal measure. Traveler’s associate editor Matt Ortile has has brought this carry-on with him for trips to Saudi Arabia, Portofino, Washington DC, and Paris (twice). “I’m a serial overpacker and this works for anywhere from two to five days,” he says. “Lighter packers could easily stretch it to a week, especially with just a carry-on and personal item.” Looks aside, the standout feature here is the way this trunk-style suitcase rolls. “It moves beautifully, smoothly rolling over hard floors and carpet alike,” says Ortile.
Pros: Smooth-gliding wheels, very sturdy Cons: Heavier than average
Dimensions: 22″ x 14″ x 9″ Weight: 8.2 lb.
Casetify has brought the durability of its popular scratch- and scuff-resistant phone cases to its first piece of luggage, the Bounce carry-on. Traveler’s commerce writer Paris Wilson has taken it with her on a few flights with no issues and appreciated its durability getting down the uneven cobblestone streets of NYC’s Financial District. She fit five days’ worth of clothes—jeans, sweats, sneakers, hoodies—inside with ease. “The outer shell feels sturdier than my other hard-shell carry-ons, and the reinforced edges help it withstand bumps and scrapes,” Wilson says. The scratch-resistant exterior and AirTag pocket make it a smart pick for tech-savvy travelers.
Pros: Scratch-resistant, built-in AirTag pocket Cons: On the heavy side
Dimensions: 22″ x 14″ x 9″ Weight: 9.7 lb.
Briggs & Riley is famous for its unbeatable lifetime warranty: if it breaks, they fix it—no questions asked. Of course, this warranty depends on you living near a Briggs & Riley authorized dealer. So has owned hers for almost 20 years. Whenever a zipper pull gets broken, it’s easy to bring it in and get it fixed promptly (and for free). The Baseline CX also has an interior garment folder, which used to be a standard feature but is now surprisingly rare. “This is the suitcase that my husband and I use whenever we have to bring a suit or formal wear for an event,” says So. “The handle is also the sturdiest, most comfortable one that I’ve ever used, and the YKK zippers are top of the line. It’s expandable, and even when you stuff it to the brim and sit on the top to get it to shut, I’ve only had to replace the zippers once. I’ve dragged this suitcase everywhere from Bodrum, Turkey to Reykjavik, Iceland, and the nylon shows only the slightest bit of wear.”
Pros: Industry-best warranty, includes garment folder Cons: Heavy
Dimensions: 21.7″ x 15.8″ x 9.1″ Weight: 9.5 lb.
The reason you get a clamshell aluminum suitcase like the Rimowa is for security. While anyone can slash through the zipper or even the fabric of a soft-shell bag, a classic aluminum suitcase uses clamps that are much harder to break. It also seals shut to prevent water from leaking in through the fabric. There are other aluminum suitcases, but only one, as instantly recognizable as Rimowa. WIRED’s commerce director Martin Cizmar found that the seal was tight enough to keep his belongings dry on a wet tarmac and the wheels were very balanced. And like all Rimowas, the dings of travel only add to its classic patina.
Pros: Extremely secure, water-resistant, ages beautifully Cons: Baggage handlers target these for kicking, but that makes it look even better
Dimensions: 21.8″ x 14″ x 9″ Weight: 8.8 lb.
Peak Design, the bag company beloved by techies everywhere, ventured into suitcases this year with the Roller Pro. While most direct-to-consumer bags are made in the same factories, the Roller Pro is purpose-built from the ground up. It works either as a standard carry-on or a large camera bag with an extra-large camera cube insert. So is a new fan of the Roller Pro for its plethora of thoughtful features. The Roller Pro has a “drawbridge” opening, so you open the top instead of swinging it open like a clamshell. The carbon fiber handle is smaller than a normal handle; the wheels are positioned farther towards the corners. It’s expandable with a zip, going from about 34 liters to 39 liters. Plus, the shell is a hybrid soft-shell/hard-shell with Peak Design’s sleek, matte VersaPack fabric that looks good no matter where you take it and when.
Pros: Expandable, great for camera gear Cons: Warranty could be better
Dimensions: 23″ x 14.5″ x 9.5″ Weight: 6.3 lb.
A solid choice for those who prefer to travel with only a carry-on, Travelpro’s Maxlite Air carry-on is exceptionally lightweight and easy to maneuver, even when packed to the brim. Former Condé Nast Traveler editor Kayla Brock recommends it for overpackers who want a little extra wiggle room; it’s expandable, so you can squeeze in any souvenirs you picked up along the way. Brock has brought it to North Dakota, Europe, New York, Zanzibar, Seattle, Jamaica, Chicago, Colorado, and the Cayman Islands, packing for as long as three weeks with it—and always having enough room. “Out of all the suitcases I have, this is my absolute favorite and without a doubt the one that I take with me on a trip,” says Brock.
Pros: Lightweight, expandable Cons: Harder to clean when scuffed
Outline Pro Carry-On Spinner
Dimensions: 23″ x 15″ x 10″ Weight: 6.4 lb.
For something simple yet supremely functional, Samsonite’s Outline Pro carry-on spinner is a great choice. It’s one of the most lightweight on our list and is expandable (always a plus in our book!). Traveler’s associate social media manager Emily Adler brought it on two road trips last summer and appreciated how nicely it rolled when full. “It’s very sturdy, well-made, and gets the job done,” says Adler. This carry-on also proves you don’t need to break the bank to get your hands on quality luggage—with a price tag under /products/66e810d6ae55de936b7eff5900, it’s a smart and affordable pick.
British travel brand Antler designed its Heritage range by taking inspiration from some of its most classic designs, and the result is the brand’s most premium offering yet. Each Heritage Cabin carry-on is hand-built, and comes with an aluminium frame with reinforced corners to give it more protection against impact. There’s attention to detail across the board here, from its soft-close handle to its secure TSA-approved double latch closure, and there’s even replaceable wheels—a first for the brand—which is all backed up by Antler’s lifetime warranty.
The interior offers a 50/50 split, a compression pad, and various pockets, including one for your laundry. It’s well-sized, which makes it a safe bet for almost all airline carry-on requirements, but double-check before travel. Verity Burns, WIRED’s associate gear editor, found it a great choice for a long weekend in the Scottish Highlands: “It looks great, rolls well, and had enough space to pack carefully for all four seasons, which was much needed across our four days there.”
Pros: Stylish, smooth-rolling, backed by lifetime warranty Cons: Limited color options
ODLIČNA forma nije rezervirana samo za sportaše ili mlade ljude. Ona označava ravnotežu između snage, pokretljivosti i izdržljivosti uz redovit trening, pravilnu prehranu i zdrave životne navike.
“Biti u vrhunskoj formi znači da je vaša ukupna tjelesna spremnost na optimalnoj razini”, ističe osobni trener Josh York za portal Eat This, Not That. Bez obzira na godine, uz disciplinu i dosljednost moguće je dosegnuti ovu razinu fizičke spremnosti, smatra on.
Tri ključne vježbe koje otkrivaju vašu fizičku spremnost
Tri osnovne vježbe koje učinkovito testiraju fizičku spremnost jesu sklekovi, mrtvo dizanje i marinci, ističe York. Ove vježbe ciljaju različite mišićne skupine, testiraju vašu snagu, koordinaciju, izdržljivost i kontrolu pokreta.
Vježba 1: Sklekovi
Kako raditi sklekove:
Postavite se u položaj visokog izdržaja.
Dlanovi su ispod ramena, tijelo ispruženo.
Spuštajte prsa prema tlu savijajući laktove, zatim se podignite natrag u početni položaj.
Laktovi ostaju uz tijelo.
Kako objašnjava trener, potrebno je napraviti 15 do 20 ponavljanja s pravilnom tehnikom bez spuštanja kukova ili širenja laktova. Ovom vježbom testiraju se snaga i izdržljivost gornjega dijela tijela te stabilnost jezgre. Ako dosad niste radili sklekove, York ističe da “početnici mogu započeti s koljenima na podu, a zatim postupno prijeći na standardnu inačicu”.
Vježba 2: Mrtvo dizanje
Kako raditi mrtvo dizanje:
Stanite u širinu ramena dok je uteg iznad stopala.
S ravnim leđima savijte kukove i uhvatite uteg.
Podignite uteg uz kontrolu, koristeći snagu nogu i gluteusa.
York za Eat This, Not That ističe da je za ispunjenje vježbe potrebno “dizanje vlastite tjelesne težine utegom tri do pet puta pravilno”. Vježbom mrtvo dizanje testira se snaga stražnjega lanca – gluteus, listovi i leđa, stabilnost jezgre te pokretljivost kukova, dodaje.

Oni koji dosad nisu radili ovu vježbu na početku mogu koristiti girju ili lakše utege te postupno povećavati težinu kako bi dosegli puni opseg pokreta i snage.
Vježba 3: Marinci
Kako raditi marince:
Iz stojećeg položaja čučnite, zatim skočite nogama unatrag u izdržaj.
Po želji napravite i sklek.
Potom vratite noge naprijed i skočite uvis.
Za ovaj test potrebno je moći napraviti 15 do 20 marinaca unutar jedne minute. Vježbom testirate kardiovaskularnu izdržljivost, eksplozivnost, snagu cijelog tijela i koordinaciju. Ako ste početnici, vježbu podijelite u korake, primjerice bez skoka ili skleka, a onda s vremenom sve uključite kada razvijete potrebnu snagu i brzinu.
Zašto baš ove vježbe?
Ove vježbe zajedno testiraju sve ključne sastavnice fizičke forme:
Snagu: Sposobnost podizanja vlastite težine.
Izdržljivost: Koliko ponavljanja možete napraviti.
Pokretljivost: Opseg pokreta u kukovima, ramenima i kralježnici.
Koordinaciju i ravnotežu: Kontrola tijela kroz složene pokrete
“Kombinacija ovih elemenata daje jasan uvid u kondiciju i spremnost tijela da se nosi s fizičkim izazovima svakodnevnoga života – bez obzira na godine”, zaključuje trener.

Recognized as one of the most influential Latino designers in fashion, Chavarria’s collection paid tribute to Chicano culture while uplifting marginalized communities. Hailing from the agricultural town of Huron, California, the 58-year-old queer Mexican-American designer draws inspiration from the immigrants he encountered during his youth. His journey, from sketching in Dollar Store notebooks to collaborating with renowned brands like Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Adidas, sets the stage for what’s ahead. Through his label, launched in 2015, he strives to elevate Chicano culture and fashion while creating space for authenticity and future Latinx designers. Chavarria’s designs included collaborations with artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Becky G. As he prepared to unveil this thought-provoking collection, anticipation grew regarding how he would continue to represent his community through his designs, casting, music, and chosen venues. Jacquemus SS26 – Simone Porte’s Love Letter to His Grandmother.
Willy Chavarria SS26 report
“Fashion has to be wearable and relatable, even if it pushes boundaries,” Chavarria shared in a recent Forbes interview. “Lowrider culture, biker culture—it’s all part of who I am. It’s about taking what’s been overlooked or misunderstood and showcasing its beauty.” Dior’s Plot Twist Under Jonathan Anderson.
Chavarria challenged the status quo with one of the most impactful presentations at Paris Fashion Week. He aims to create space for marginalized communities in high fashion while using this platform to highlight the social injustices they experience daily. The SS2026 Collection in Paris was expected to kick off with a powerful performance aimed at drawing attention to the illegal detention and deportation of immigrants in the U.S. by ICE—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
With models wearing oversized outfits reminiscent of the CECOT uniform, the show was anticipated to evoke strong imagery, as they formed a line on their knees and sat in a circle with their hands behind their backs. These formations powerfully mirrored the scenes captured in images released from CECOT prison by President Bukele of El Salvador, who controversially used prisoners as props. As the U.S. government continues to endorse the prison system in El Salvador—described by Chavarria as a place where “no one ever gets out”—the show sparked vital discussions about justice and representation in the fashion industry. His socially conscious designs, blending men’s and women’s wear, emphasize Latinx heritage and social justice.

LJUBIMCI, a posebno psi, nas gotovo svaki dan svojim ponašanjem podsjećaju kako to izgleda ljubav prema nekome. Jedan od brojnih takvih primjera je odnos između muškarca Devina i njegove ljubimice Lily. Devin je na Instagramu podijelio presladak videozapis kojim pokazuje što Lily napravi svaki put kada pogleda prema njoj, a malo je reći da prizor mami osmijeh na lice.
U svrhu snimanja videozapisa, Devin je odlučio napraviti eksperiment i pogledati Lily, a onda je opet učinila isto – naslonila svoju malenu glavu, a potom i cijelo tijelo na vlasnika. “Ona radi ovo svaki put kad je pogledam”, napisao je Devin čiji je videozapis od objave postao viralan s više od šest milijuna pregleda.

India National Cricket Team vs England National Cricket Team Live Score Updates: India started their tour of England with a loss in the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 IND vs ENG Test 2025, handing the hosts a 1-0 lead. In hopes of making a comeback in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, the India national cricket team takes on the England national cricket team in IND vs ENG 2nd Test 2025, which commences from July 2 with Day 1 beginning at 3:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST). You can check the India National Cricket Team vs England National Cricket Team match scorecard here. Apart from England, India will also have to overcome their torrid track record at Edgbaston, where the Indian national cricket team are yet to win a Test out of eight appearances in Birmingham.
The IND vs ENG 1st Test at Leeds witnessed as many as five batters hit hundreds for India, and still end up on the losing side, which is unfortunately unprecedented. However, a lack of support for Jasprit Bumrah in bowling, and a lacklustre fielding effort throughout the Test saw IND vs ENG 1st Test 2025 slip from the visitors’ grasp as England chased 371, and took a 1-0 lead.
Shubman Gill will have to marshal his troops better in the field, which was a reason behind India’s downfall. India have concerns in their XI, with Jasprit Bumrah’s availability pending. Meanwhile, England named an unchanged XI with Ben Stokes as captain. IND vs ENG 2nd Test 2025: Indian Cricketers Asked To Stay Indoors After Suspicious Packet Found in Heart of Birmingham.

2K has officially announced thatWWE 2K25 will be launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 later this month. The popular wrestling simulation title, which debuted across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms in March, is scheduled to arrive on the new Nintendo console on 23 July. Pre-orders for the game are now live on the Nintendo eShop, accompanied by a fresh trailer tailored for the Switch 2 version.
Much like its counterparts on other platforms,WWE 2K25 for the Switch 2 will be available in three editions: Standard, Deadman, and The Bloodline. Players on Nintendo’s latest hardware will have access to the full suite of game modes and match types, including the open-world experience ‘The Island’, which had previously been limited to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
In addition to ‘The Island’, fan-favourite modes such as 2K Showcase, MyGM, MyFaction, MyRise, and Universe will also be included in the Switch 2 release.
The Standard Edition is priced at $69.99 and includes the base game. Those who pre-order this edition will also receive the Wyatt Sicks Pack, featuring five playable superstars and themed items for ‘The Island’.
Moreover, the Deadman Edition, retailing at $99.99, expands on the base offering with extra content including persona cards for Mattel Elite “Greatest Hits” Undertaker and Original Undertaker (‘90), an interactive Urn object, Undertaker’s ‘95 Mask for in-game use, and Brother Love as a manager. It also comes bundled with the Season Pass for post-launch DLC and 15,000 in-game VC.
At the top end, The Bloodline Edition is priced at $129.99 and includes all content from the previous editions, as well as the Ringside Pass and The Rock Nation of Domination Pack. This premium version also includes exclusive persona cards for Mattel Elite Series 114 Jey Uso and Roman Reigns, additional cosmetic items, and the forthcoming WrestleMania 41 Pack, which will add new playable superstars and the WrestleMania 41 arena at a later date.
The arrival of WWE 2K25 on the Switch 2 continues Nintendo’s efforts to strengthen the console’s third-party game library. Since its release on 5 June, the hybrid handheld has seen key titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, and Split Fiction make their debut.
Later this month, Nintendo is also set to launch the console-exclusive Donkey Kong Bananza.
The wrestling title had been confirmed for the Switch 2 earlier this year during Nintendo’s full reveal of the console in April, following growing demand for more AAA titles on the platform.
KOCHI: The Kerala High Court on Wednesday decided to watch the film ‘Janaki vs State of Kerala,’ starring Union Minister Suresh Gopi, on Saturday at 10 a.m. “Considering the allegations in the writ petitions, I believe it is appropriate to view the movie before making any final decisions. The petitioner is directed to arrange a screening in an appropriate studio on Saturday at 10 am,” said Justice N. Nagaresh. The court clarified that it will close the case on July 9.
The court stated that the representative of each party, the petitioner and the Board, or their counsel, can be present during the screening.
During the hearing, the counsel for the petitioner mentioned that there are practical difficulties in screening the movie in court since it is only available for theatrical release. The petitioner can arrange a studio screening at Lal Media, Palarivattom. The court then asked, “Does anybody have an objection to viewing the film at Lal Media?” No one objected.
Shares of travel and lifestyle loyalty programmes operator Dreamfolks Services fell over 5.5 per cent on the NSE, after the company clarified in a filing that certain loyalty programmes it runs for Axis Bank and ICICI Bank had been closed with effect from July 1.
“While the Company is currently evaluating the exact potential impact of the aforesaid, it is likely to be material in nature,” it said, adding that its contracts with the banks were, however, still valid.
“Activation of new programmes, deactivation of existing programmes is part of our regular business operations,” it said. It clarified that it was committed to taking requisite actions to mitigate the impact of the closure of the programmes.
Earlier in the month it had refuted media reports that said a few clients had shifted from the company.
Contract negotiation is a part of the regular business process, which is carried on annually with the clients and its relationship with partners were strong and fully intact.
Dreamfolks, whose membership starts at an annual fee of ₹6,999 and goes up to ₹99,999, depending on the benefits, works with global companies such as Visa, Diners Club, MasterCard, Amex, as well as local banks, telecom operators and airlines.
In its exchange filing, the company said it worked with more than 50 clients and, as a practice, “we enter into MSAs (master service agreements) for five years with an annual price escalation.
In an interview with a business channel CEO and Chairperson, Liberatha Peter Kallat said the company was being subjected to pressure tactics by two large airport operators who had entered the same line of business and were forcing her company’s clients to sign up with them.
I love pickles. Dill pickles, kosher dill pickles, cornichons, full-sour pickles, half-sour pickles, quarter-sour pickles, quick pickles, gherkins, German senfgurken. Not bread and butter pickles. Those are not pickles. The flaccid, round slices with their fluorescent yellow tint and sickeningly sweet flavor are a disgrace to the pickle name.
I’m the person sitting next to you, asking impatiently if you’re going to eat your pickle. I order sandwiches just to get the pickle on the side. I volunteer at marathons, handing out pickle juice to runners: one for them, two for me. Sometimes (all the time) I drink pickle juice straight from the jar.
I also love kombucha, but unlike pickles, which I have been consuming with delight since I sprouted teeth, kombucha and I had a rocky start. About 10 years ago, I decided to care about my gut biome because someone in my office said that I should. He recommended kombucha because of its probiotics. I didn’t know what a gut biome was, but I imagined it at the bottom of my stomach, like a shallow wading pool with a fountain. Instead of pennies for good luck, I would toss in “live and active cultures.”
My co-worker, who made his own kombucha, brought the “mother” to the office to share with me, so I, too, could make my own at home. If you haven’t met “mother” (also known as SCOBY: Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast), it is a gelatinous, snotty, slimy disk that resembles something an alien might’ve barfed up or recently given birth to. Or both. We don’t know how aliens give birth.
“Mother” is also quite temperamental. One wrong move and it grows fuzzy gray mold that could possibly kill you. I did not trust myself to keep “mother” happy, so I headed to the store to buy some uncontaminated kombucha. My first sip was followed by a theatrical spit take. Convinced that I got unlucky with an expired batch, I tried it again a few days later with the same results. Then it dawned on me that it was supposed to taste like fruit rotting in your mouth, with some weak fizz to distract you.
Being a Taurus, I’m nothing if not persistent, so I kept drinking kombucha until disgust turned into tolerance and eventually an obsession. I couldn’t get enough of those live and active cultures.
This brings us to last week at Whole Foods, where I discovered the holy union of my two loves in 365 Organic Pickle Kombucha. Together at last — a dream I never knew I had. Some may find the beverage’s pale green hue with dark green sediment unappetizing, but pickle juice lovers will be pleased with its resemblance to an unclean ocean.
I grabbed the bottle and immediately twisted open the cap. I was rewarded with a satisfying hiss. I stuck my nose in it and sniffed, like a proper kombucha connoisseur, getting a faint whiff of dill but not a lot of pickle. I took a sip, excited for the puckering acidity of pickle juice with the stinky rotten undertones typical of kombucha, but I got neither. My mouth was confused.
The 365 Organic Pickle Kombucha has pickle tendencies, but it tastes like I had (poorly) described pickles to someone who had never eaten a pickle nor seen a cucumber, and then they reverse-engineered it into a perfume, and sprayed that perfume directly into my mouth.
I walked home in a green cloud of disillusionment with a chemical dill aftertaste lingering on my tongue. But perhaps I rushed my judgment, and it needed to sit for a bit; after all, my love for kombucha wasn’t instant. It took me a solid five years to be able to choke it down without throwing up a little.
A few days later, I opened the bottle again, this time with subdued expectations. The kombucha was less enthusiastic as well. The swampy sediment settled to the bottom; the fizz had lost its exuberance. I took a tentative sip. The dill travesty violated my taste buds. This was not a holy union. This dream was a nightmare. There was only one thing I could do.
I grabbed an emergency pickle jar from my pantry and downed its brine in one sitting. Then I chased it with a growler of pineapple jalapeño kombucha. Now that hit the spot.

A new trend has emerged among America’s elite as New Zealand’s Active Investor Plus visa — also dubbed the “golden” visa — sees a recent boom.
“[There has been] a flood of formal interest in the new ‘golden’ visa,” said New Zealand Immigration Minister Erica Stanford, according to Reuters.
In April, the government relaxed its visa rules to attract more high-net-worth individuals, with such changes as removing an English language requirement.

The country also reduced the amount of time required to spend in New Zealand.
Once the golden visa is obtained, it can be held for life. People do not need to reapply.

In under three months, 189 golden visa applications were received, while previous applications were at 116 submissions over the span of more than two-and-a-half years, Reuters reported.
Nearly half the applications were submitted by U.S. citizens, with Chinese citizens having the second-highest number of applications, the same source noted.

Former New Zealand Minister for Economic Development Stuart Nash, co-founder of Nash Kelly Global, told Fox News Digital the visas are getting more popular.
“There’s a lot of global uncertainty at the moment,” he said.

“You’ve got a war going on in Europe, you’ve got the tinderbox, which is the Middle East. You’ve got a change in the U.S. administration, which is causing more polarization than we’ve seen in a long, long time,” said Nash.
“There are many Americans wanting to settle in New Zealand, as we’re seen as this oasis at the bottom of the world,” he added.
“You can live the New Zealand dream.”
Nash pointed to New Zealand’s “stable banking system” and lack of capital gains, wealth and death taxes.

“In this time of global uncertainty, geography is just as important as anything else. You jump on a plane and you’re 1,200 miles away from trouble spots,” said Nash.
He added, “In the past, people were looking for tax havens. Now they’re looking for safe havens for them and their family.”
New Zealand’s “stable banking system” and lack of capital gains, wealth and death taxes are among the reasons for the increase in “golden” visas.(iStock)
Nash said the country’s low population is a unique perk.
“We have wonderful scenery, sailing, golf — and we have some pretty cool people,” Nash said.

He added, “You don’t have to renounce your U.S. citizenship at all. You can get permanent residency for life and you can live the New Zealand dream.”

The accessories below aren’t as great as the top picks in this guide, but they’re still good options if you’re looking for more MagSafe gadgets.

Belkin iPhone Mount With MagSafe for $30: Using Apple’s Continuity Camera feature, you can wirelessly use your iPhone as a webcam for a MacBook. It supports various video calling apps too, from FaceTime to Zoom. This circular silicone puck magnetically sticks to the back of your iPhone and can be used as a phone grip or kickstand, but you need to keep your screen close to a 90-degree angle, or else the weight of the iPhone will drag the screen back or forward. There’s also a mount for external displays, in case you want one for your home desk setup.
Casetify Wireless Car Charger for $70: I’ve been using this for over a year. It’s easy to install, has MagSafe support (with a USB-C cable) and an adjustable ball joint for various viewing angles, and it’s Qi 2-certified with a 15-watt rate. It’s a bit more affordable than Belkin’s and comes in several fun patterns. (I have the Penguin design, and it’s tough not to smile while looking at it.)
iOttie Velox Pro Magnetic Wireless Cooling Charger for $56: This iOttie option has a suction cup (if your vents are awkward, or you just prefer a dash or windshield mount) that has strong magnets to keep it in place. The telescopic arm also has a ball joint to give you a wide range of movement to find the ideal position. The 7.5-watt charging rate is disappointing, but the USB-C charging cable is removable, so you can detach and stow it when your iPhone is charged. The built-in fan also helps to keep the temperature down when the sun is out.
MagGo Magnetic Charging Station (8-in-1) for $70: This little orb has three AC outlets, two USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports on the back, and over on the front is a Qi2 wireless charging pad that can recharge your phone. It’s great for workstations where you need to plug in a lot of gadgets. Each of the USB-A ports dishes out 12 watts, and the USB-C ports can output 67 watts, though this lowers if other ports or the pad are in use.

A MagSafe SSD Enclosure for $50: If you have a iPhone Pro Max and you want to tinker with Apple’s more advanced video recording formats (ProRes 4K at 60 frames per second or higher), well, you’ll run into one big problem immediately: You can’t natively record without an external storage device. You’ll need a solid-state drive plugged into your iPhone, and it will record your video directly to the external storage. But a dangling SSD doesn’t sound very safe, right? They don’t transfer power or data via MagSafe but merely attach to the back as a convenient way to store the SSD while recording.
Casely Grippy for $15: When Octobuddy (the original suction phone mount) started to get popular, I really wanted one. But since it uses adhesive to attach to your phone, the thought of all the dust and germs the suction cups would collect kept me from trying it. This one from Casely is one of the few that has MagSafe support. It works well, for the most part. I’ve stuck it on kitchen cabinets, mirrors, the refrigerator—basically whatever surface is around. But when sticking it on said surface, I recommend applying extra pressure to make sure the suction cups are really stuck on there. Otherwise, it’ll slide off and your phone will go with it.
MagSafe is the name of Apple’s accessory system integrated into the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16 range. A ring of magnets on the back of the phone (and in MagSafe cases) can help transfer power more precisely and faster than traditional wireless chargers. However, it’s also a handy way to hold an accessory in place, like a wallet, or to mount the iPhone without requiring clamps.
Make Sure Your Case Has MagSafe Too
If you use a case with your iPhone, make sure it’s a MagSafe case (it should have its own ring of magnets inside). A standard case will just weaken the magnetic attachment between the iPhone and the MagSafe accessory. A MagSafe case will maintain the magnetic strength, and sometimes case-makers use stronger magnets for a more secure attachment. We have lots of recommendations in our iPhone case guides:
Is MagSafe Compatible With Android?
Natively, no. MagSafe won’t work with most Android phones. However, there are MagSafe cases for certain Android phones, like the Google Pixel series or Samsung Galaxy phones, and these cases have a similar (if not the same) magnetic ring inside, allowing you to use many of the same MagSafe power banks, wireless chargers, and other accessories, though your mileage may vary. Several accessory companies also include or sell the MagSafe magnetic component that you can stick to the back of your smartphone to enable compatibility, though I’ve never used one I really like.
The Qi2 wireless charging standard is changing all of this. Qi2 adds the Magnetic Power Profile, which is based on MagSafe. That means Qi2 phones feature a similar magnetic attachment system, enabling MagSafe accessories to work with more devices, no case needed. Unfortunately, there aren’t many Android phones with Qi2 natively baked in. Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series, for example, are “Qi2 Ready” phones because you need a magnetic case to enable the Qi2 functionality as there’s no magnets built into the phone.
That’s why you may also start seeing “Qi2” MagSafe devices—the latest iPhones all support Qi2, and any device you buy with Qi2 will offer maximum compatibility.

MOKRENJE po kući jedan je od najčešćih problema s kojima se susreću vlasnici pasa. Ovaj problem može imati različite uzroke – od zdravstvenih i bihevioralnih do problema s dresurom ili promjena u okolini. Pravilan pristup zahtijeva razumijevanje uzroka i strpljiv, dosljedan rad uz savjete veterinara.
Najčešći uzroci mokrenja po kući
1. Nedostatak dresure ili nepotpuna dresura
Psi koji nisu pravilno naučeni gdje je dozvoljeno obavljati nuždu često mokre po kući. To je posebno često kod štenaca i pasa koji su nedavno udomljeni.
2. Zdravstveni problemi
Infekcije mokraćnog sustava, problemi s bubrezima, dijabetes, hormonalni poremećaji ili inkontinencija mogu uzrokovati nekontrolirano mokrenje. Kod starijih pasa slabost mišića mjehura i artritis također mogu otežati obavljanje nužde.
3. Starenje i kognitivne smetnje
Stariji psi mogu zaboraviti pravila ili imati problema s kontrolom mjehura zbog demencije ili drugih neuroloških poremećaja.
4. Stres i promjene u okolini
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Promjene poput selidbe, dolaska novog člana obitelji, novog ljubimca, promjene rasporeda ili čak lošeg vremena mogu izazvati stres i nesigurnost, što dovodi do mokrenja po kući.
5. Teritorijalno obilježavanje
Nekastrirani mužjaci često obilježavaju teritorij, a i kastrirani psi i ženke mogu to raditi u stresnim situacijama ili ako se pojavi novi ljubimac u kući.
6. Nedovoljno prilika za izlazak
Psi koji ne idu u šetnje dovoljno često ili nemaju pristup vanjskom prostoru mogu biti prisiljeni mokriti unutar kuće.
Kako riješiti problem?
Posjet veterinaru: Prvi korak uvijek je isključiti zdravstvene probleme. Veterinar će napraviti pregled, analizu urina i po potrebi dodatne pretrage, osobito kod starijih pasa ili ako se problem pojavio iznenada.
Povratak osnovama dresure: Uspostavite jasnu rutinu i vodite psa u šetnju nakon buđenja, nakon jela, igre i prije spavanja. Štenad i stariji psi trebaju češće prilike za izlazak – svakih 2-3 sata. Svaki put kad pas obavi nuždu vani, odmah ga pohvalite i nagradite poslasticom. Ako ga uhvatite u činu mokrenja unutar kuće, nježno ga prekinite uz pljesak ili zvižduk i odmah izvedite van.
Ograničavanje prostora i nadzor: Spriječite pristup mjestima unutar kuće gdje je pas ranije mokrio ili ih pretvorite u nepoželjna mjesta za nuždu stavljanjem hrane, vode ili kreveta. Temeljito čišćenje: Temeljito očistite sva mjesta gdje je pas mokrio kako biste uklonili miris i smanjili vjerojatnost ponovnog mokrenja na istom mjestu.
Rješavanje stresa i dosade: Osigurajte dovoljno tjelesne i mentalne aktivnosti, igračaka i šetnji. Psi koji su pod stresom ili kojima je dosadno češće razvijaju neželjena ponašanja, uključujući mokrenje u kući.
Kastracija/sterilizacija: Kastracija može značajno smanjiti obilježavanje teritorija kod mužjaka, ali i kod nekih ženki.
Strpljenje i dosljednost: Promjene se ne događaju preko noći. Potrebno je nekoliko tjedana dosljednog rada da bi se pas ponovno naučio pravilima. Nikada nemojte kažnjavati psa – kazna može pogoršati problem stvaranjem straha i anksioznosti.
Kada tražiti pomoć stručnjaka?
Ako unatoč svim mjerama problem traje dulje od nekoliko tjedana ili je praćen drugim znakovima bolesti (pojačana žeđ, gubitak težine, promjene u ponašanju), obavezno se obratite veterinaru ili treneru za pse.
Mokrenje po kući najčešće nije znak tvrdoglavosti ili lošeg ponašanja, već rezultat zdravstvenih, bihevioralnih ili okolišnih čimbenika. Pravovremena dijagnostika, strpljiv rad i pozitivno usmjeravanje ključ su uspjeha u rješavanju ovog problema.

Google has been ordered to pay over $314.6 million to Android smartphone users in California after a state court in San Jose ruled in favour of the plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit. The jury agreed with claims that Google was liable for sending and receiving information from Android devices without users’ permission while the devices were idle. According to the lawsuit, this amounted to “mandatory and unavoidable burdens shouldered by Android device users for Google’s benefit.”
The suit further claimed that Google programmed Android phones to transfer data to its servers when users were not connected to a Wi-Fi network, effectively using data that customers were paying for.
The tech giant allegedly used this information “to further its own corporate interests,” including building more targeted digital advertising and expanding its mapping credibility, the lawsuit states.
The class-action lawsuit was filed in 2019 in Santa Clara Superior Court on behalf of California residents. A parallel federal case is pending for Android users across the United States, with a trial scheduled to begin in early 2026, Bloomberg reported.
“This ruling is a setback for users, as it misunderstands services that are critical to the security, performance, and reliability of Android devices,” Google’s José Castañeda was quoted by Bloomberg as saying.
Castañeda further noted that the transfers discussed in the case are necessary to maintain the performance of billions of Android devices worldwide and that they consume less cellular data than sending a single photo.
He stated that Android users consent to such transfers through multiple terms of use agreements and device setting options.
Notably, this case is only one of several legal challenges facing the search giant in its home country.
Last year, a federal judge ruled in favour of the United States government in its anti-monopoly case against Google. The Department of Justice has argued that Google’s monopoly can be ended by breaking up its different products, including Chrome browser, Search and Android.
LONDON: Rap-punk duo Bob Vylan on Tuesday rejected claims of antisemitism over onstage comments at the Glastonbury Festival that triggered a police investigation and sparked criticism from politicians, the BBC and festival organizers.
The band said in a statement that it was being “targeted for speaking up” about the war in Gaza.
Police are investigating whether a crime was committed when frontman Bob Vylan led the audience in chants of “Death to the IDF” — the Israel Defense Forces — during the band’s set at the festival in southwest England on Saturday.
The British government called the chants “appalling hate speech” and the BBC said it regretted livestreaming the “antisemitic sentiments.” U.S. authorities revoked the musicians’ visas.
Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza has inflamed tensions around the world, triggering pro-Palestinian protests in many capitals and on college campuses. Israel and some supporters have described the protests as antisemitic, while critics say Israel uses such descriptions to silence opponents.
In a statement on Instagram, Bob Vylan said: “We are not for the death of jews, arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. … A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza.”
Alleging that “we are a distraction from the story,” the duo added: “We are being targeted for speaking up.”
The BBC is under pressure to explain why it did not cut the feed of the performance after the anti-IDF chants. Britain’s Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said “the airing of vile Jew-hatred” by the BBC was a moment of “national shame.”
“It should trouble all decent people that now, one need only couch their outright incitement to violence and hatred as edgy political commentary, for ordinary people to not only fail to see it for what it is, but also to cheer it, chant it and celebrate it,” he wrote on X.
Avon and Somerset Police said it is investigating Bob Vylan’s performance, along with that by Irish-language hip-hop trio Kneecap, whose pro-Palestinian stance has also attracted controversy. Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh has been charged under Britain’s Terrorism Act with supporting a proscribed organization for allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert in London last year.
Since the war began in October 2023 with a Hamas attack on Israel that killed some 1,200 people, Israel has killed more than 56,000 people in Gaza, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory.

Sustainability is an incredibly complicated topic. Yet seafood sustainability is the surprisingly rare exception in which a really complex problem can be addressed with uniquely simple options — and it’s in the hands of the consumer.
To put it plainly, there are three things you can do to help change our ocean’s food systems: Diversify the seafood that you eat and cook. Eat more scallops, oysters, mussels and seaweed. Buy seafood that was farmed or caught in the United States.
In researching this topic for “How to Cook the Finest Things in the Sea,” the cookbook I co-authored with chef Ari Kolender (of Found Oyster and Queen St. Raw Bar & Grill), I read peer-reviewed studies and talked to seaweed farming experts, a shellfish growing association, government agencies, award-winning authors, conservationists, journalists and chefs. Intelligent people disagreed on a great many topics, but the one thing they all agreed on was that we, as a country, are way too focused on eating the same few fish, over and over again.
“Americans have a very kind of brutalist approach to the foods they allow on their plates,” said Paul Greenberg, author of “Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food.” “The idea came to me after repeatedly looking at menus and seeing this leitmotif of these same four fish. You’re always going to have something that’s pink and succulent — that’s your salmon. You’re always going to have something steak-y, or maybe sushi, that’s gonna be your tuna. You’ll have something white and flaky that’s usually called cod but could be swapped in with a tilapia. Then there’s always gonna be some kind of whole fish, for the adventuresome, and that’s often called bass.
“You have [restaurants like] the Providences of the world that present interesting fish, but in the main world, and especially in fast-casual, it’s almost always just salmon.”
The top three kinds of seafood in the U.S. are almost invariably, in some order: salmon, shrimp and canned tuna. Embracing diversity could change our foodways.
(Judd Braun)
The top three seafoods that we eat in this country are almost invariably, in some order: salmon, shrimp and canned tuna. When the vast majority of seafood consumption in our country is driven toward the same three sea creatures, businesses will find a way to meet demand, come hell or high water. Enough people diversifying the seafood they eat, and being open to “plenty more fish in the sea,” would change our foodways.
Eat a lot more of these
While seafood experts often disagree about finned fish farming, many agree that vertical ocean farming is a great way to grow sustainable food that is not only nutritious but also cleans our ocean water at the same time.
James Beard Award-winning author of “Eat Like a Fish” and Greenwave co-founder Bren Smith has written and spoken extensively on this subject, championing the symbiotic relationship of scallops, oysters, mussels and seaweed, grown together to maximize efficiency.
Many experts say vertical ocean farming — such as for some shellfish and seaweed — is a great way to grow sustainable food that also helps clean the environment. Pictured, scallop crudo, served in its shell, at Bestia restaurant in downtown Los Angeles.

“The ocean is unique as an agricultural space,” Smith said. “If we choose the right crops — kelp, scallops, mussels, oysters — we can farm without feed, fertilizers or fresh water, making it the most sustainable food on the plate. All we need is sunlight and ocean nutrients.”
If we can increase demand for these products, it does more than just grow a more sustainable seafood option. “This is our chance to build an aquaculture sector that is regenerative out of the gate,” he continued, “can help feed the nation, reduce pressures on wild fish stocks and create good, blue jobs.”
If the demand for these products goes up, then so too does the demand for the sustainable ocean farmers to grow it. Also? They are all delicious.
Buy American
It can be really difficult to stay up to date on what seafood is sustainable at any given moment. I have been caught standing at a seafood counter trying to navigate the Monterey Bay Aquarium app, failing to figure out what kind of Atlantic halibut I’m looking at. Luckily, there is a much easier way.
The United States is the best country in the world at regulating its seafood supply and managing its fisheries, according to a 2016 peer-reviewed study, published by the National Academy of Sciences. We are, however, not nearly as diligent about the seafood that we import … and we import about 80% of the seafood we eat in this country.
What not to buy? The U.S. imports a majority of its seafood. But buying local is the better option.
(Silvia Razgova / For The Times)
If you read the work of people like author and investigative reporter Ian Urbina in the New Yorker, you find out that a lot of the seafood that we import comes cheaper thanks to horrifying working conditions and human rights violations, not to mention massive over-fishing and negative environmental impact. That’s why, if you look at your options at the grocery store, you will frequently find that U.S.-caught and -farmed seafood is more expensive than the alternatives.
But if you just buy American, you are most of the way there when it comes to being sustainable. So if you go to the grocery store and see shrimp from Thailand, Mexico and the U.S. — just buy the American one.
Meanwhile, take a look at those cans of tuna you wanted to buy and try to find ones caught in the United States. Not processed in the United States but caught. It is a lot more difficult to find, and more expensive, than you are probably expecting. That’s because for a can of tuna to cost 84 cents, some horrible things have to be happening to a lot of people before that can shows up at the grocery store.
‘But I like salmon and tuna and shrimp’
Get over it. It’s a huge ocean with lots of seafood. If we want to make real change in our oceanic food system, we have to change the way we eat and shop. But also, if you are only shopping American, it means looking at perhaps fewer but frequently also different options when purchasing fish filets in particular. This leads to one of the many great lessons from working with Kolender on “How to Cook the Finest Things in the Sea.” Rather than give recipes that require a certain type of fish, we focused on breaking them down into three categories: steak-y; mild and flaky; and skin-on. Once you realize that you can put pretty much any type of fish filet into at least one of those three categories, you can cook any filet that you find.
Options abound when it comes to fish, whether skin-on filets like Arctic char or halibut for pan-frying, or steak-y fillets like tuna or swordfish for searing or grilling. Flaky filets, like black cod, above, are great in soups and rice dishes.
(Mariah Tauger / Los Angeles Times)
Skin-on filets like Arctic char, halibut, ocean trout, rockfish, salmon and vermillion are all wonderful to cook in a pan for a crispy skin. Meanwhile steak-y filets like albacore, swordfish, tuna and wahoo are all great hard-seared in a pan or cooked on a grill. Mild and flaky filets like flounder, halibut, perch, any snappers and turbot are great in stews, soups, rice dishes, or even battered or breaded and fried.
Once you start thinking of things in these categories, it makes your shopping so much easier. It is often much better, as Kolender told me, to think about how you want to cook before you decide on what you want to cook.
Where to shop
Los Angeles has great seafood markets, such as Santa Monica Seafood and Fish King in Glendale, all of which would be more than happy to direct you to the best type of U.S.-caught fish for the type of cooking you’re looking to do. But like any seafood market (and even many seafood stalls at farmers markets), they will sell whatever sells. That means it’s up to you to vote with your dollars.
My favorite way to buy seafood in L.A. is to visit Wild Local Seafood Co., which shows up at farmers markets in Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Hollywood, Mar Vista and Long Beach. Owner Ben Hyman cares a lot about sustainable fishing practices, and catches most of its seafood off the coast of Santa Barbara. The market stand usually has a relatively small list of options, but you can rest easy knowing that the quality and sustainability practices will be of the highest order. You will probably even learn about a delicious fish you didn’t know about.
I know how easy it is to get caught in a cooking rut, focusing on the familiar. But whether we like it or not, I firmly believe that aquaculture will become a massive part of our foodway system in the coming years and decades. Companies are raising hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in the future of ocean farming, and if we want to have a say in that future, we have to become a part of that discussion now, before the decisions are made for us. The surest way to have a say in that is to put your money where your mouth is.

A rare weather sighting occurred in Portugal as tourists and locals witnessed a one-of-a-kind cloud in the sky in recent days. (See the video at the top of this article.)
A “tsunami” roll, also known as a roll cloud, filled the sky on Sunday following a heat wave, according to Euro News.
Portugal’s temperatures hit over 107 °F with heavy rain, thunderstorms and hail.

The roll sits low in the sky in a horizontal tube-shaped arcus cloud and is “relatively rare,” according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
“Roll clouds usually appear to be ‘rolling’ about a horizontal axis, but should not be confused with funnel clouds,” said NWS.

Stephen Corfidi, a meteorologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), previously told National Geographic the clouds are typically associated with thunderstorms.
Roll clouds “can last for several hours and extend for several hundred miles,” Corfidi told the outlet.

“The ‘shear’ across the inversion sets up a rolling motion much like that of a rolling pin used in a bakery,” said Corfidi.
Beachgoers took to social media to share videos and discuss the phenomenon.

An AI-generated “bigfoot baddie,” with acrylic nails and a pink wig, speaks directly to her imaginary audience using an iPhone. “We might have to go on the run,” she says. “I’m wanted for a false report on my baby daddy.” This AI video, generated by Google’s Veo 3, has racked up over a million views on Instagram. It’s just one of many viral posts on Instagram and TikTok viewed by WIRED that depict Black women as primates and perpetuate racist tropes using AI video tools.
Google’s Veo 3 was a hit with online audiences when it dropped at the company’s developer conference in May. Surreal generations of Biblical characters and cryptids, like bigfoot, doing influencer-style vlogging quickly spread across social media. AI-generated bigfoot vlogs were even used by Google as a selling point in ads promoting the new feature.
With “bigfoot baddies,” online creators are taking what was a fairly innocuous trend on social media and repurposing it to dehumanize Black women. “There’s a historical precedent behind why this is offensive. In the early days of slavery, Black people were overexaggerated in illustrations to emphasize primal characteristics,” says Nicol Turner Lee, director of the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution.
“It’s both disgusting and disturbing that these racial tropes and images are readily available to be designed and distributed on online platforms,” says Turner Lee.
One of the most popular Instagram accounts posting these generated clips has five videos with over a million views, less than a month after the account’s first post. The AI videos feature the animal-woman hybrids speaking African American Vernacular English in a caricatured manner, with the characters often shown wearing a bonnet and threatening to fight people. In one clip, the AI generation, using a country accent, implies she pulled out a bottle of Hennessy liquor that was stored in her genitals.
Veo 3 can create everything seen in videos like this, the scenery to the spoken audio to the characters themselves, from a single prompt. The bio of the popular Instagram account includes a link to a $15 online course where you can learn how to create similar videos. In videos with titles like “Veo 3 does the heavy lifting,” three teachers use voiceover to step students through the process of prompting the AI video tool for bigfoot clips and creating consistent characters. The email address listed as the administrator of the online course bounced back messages when WIRED attempted to contact the creators.
A spokesperson for Meta, which owns Instagram, declined to comment on the record. Google and TikTok both acknowledged WIRED’s request for comment, but did not provide a statement prior to publication.
Our social media analysis found copycat accounts on Instagram and TikTok reposting the “bigfoot baddie” clips or generating similar videos. A repost of one video on Instagram has 1 million views on an AI-focused meme page. A different Instagram account has another “bigfoot baddie” video with almost 3 million views. It’s not just on Instagram; an account on TikTok dedicated to similar AI-generated content currently has over 1 million likes. These accounts did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
ZA MNOGE ljubitelje kofeina izbor između ledene i tople kave često ovisi o vremenskoj prognozi ili osobnim navikama. No je li riječ samo o temperaturi ili i o tome kako kava djeluje na organizam? Iako obje verzije sadrže kofein, stručnjaci ističu da razlike ipak postoje i da mogu utjecati na zdravlje, probavu pa čak i na doživljaj energije.
Kada je riječ o količini kofeina, ledena i topla kava gotovo su izjednačene, pod uvjetom da se pripremaju od iste količine kave. Bez obzira na to je li kava kuhana pa ohlađena ili je riječ o hladnoj pripremi, kofein se i dalje otpušta iz mljevene kave i ima isti stimulativni učinak na mozak i tijelo. Dakle, ako pijete kavu zbog budnosti ili koncentracije, temperatura neće igrati veliku ulogu.
Temperatura utječe na razinu antioksidansa
Temperatura vode utječe na količinu antioksidansa. Studije su pokazale da se u toploj kavi oslobađa veći udio korisnih tvari poput klorogenične kiseline, koja ima protuupalna svojstva i može pomoći u zaštiti stanica od oksidacijskoga stresa. Ledena kava sadrži te spojeve u manjoj mjeri, osobito ako je riječ o hladnoj pripremi gdje se voda ne zagrijava.
Ledena kava blaža je za želudac
Jedna od najvećih prednosti ledene kave, osobito cold brew pripremka, jest niži sadržaj kiselina. To znači da je ova verzija kave lakša za probavu i manje vjerojatno da će izazvati žgaravicu ili nelagodu kod osoba s osjetljivim želucem. Ako imate problema s refluksom ili gastritisom, hladna kava može biti bolji izbor.
Kofein u obje vrste kave djeluje tako da lagano ubrzava metabolizam i može pomoći u sagorijevanju kalorija, osobito ako se konzumira prije tjelesne aktivnosti. Neka istraživanja navode da hladna kava (zbog postupnog oslobađanja kofeina i duljeg ispijanja) može dulje održavati razinu energije, dok topla kava djeluje brže, ali kraće.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Toplina utječe i na raspoloženje
Topla kava povezana je s osjećajem ugode, utjehe i rituala. Miris se jače oslobađa, što dodatno potiče osjetila i raspoloženje. Ledena kava, s druge strane, osvježava, idealna je za tople dane i često se doživljava kao laganija i zabavnija.
Neka istraživanja pokazuju da čak i temperatura pića može utjecati na emocionalni odgovor – topla pića povezujemo s bliskošću i sigurnošću, dok hladna asociramo na razbistrivanje i novi početak.

Gatari Amavasya 2025 falls on Thursday, July 24. It is a traditional Hindu observance celebrated primarily in Maharashtra, falling on the no-moon day (Amavasya) before the holy month of Shravan begins. It is considered the last day to indulge in non-vegetarian food, alcohol, and other worldly pleasures before the start of Shravan, a month marked by fasting, prayer, and devotion to Lord Shiva. Many people mark the day by gathering with friends and family to enjoy a feast and drinks, symbolising a farewell to indulgence. The day is seen as a cultural way to balance enjoyment and discipline in life. Hence, we bring you mouth-watering non-vegetarian recipes that you can prepare on Gatari Amavasya 2025 to celebrate the festival before Shravan month begins in Maharashtra.

U DOBA kada su djeca gotovo prikovana za tablete, mobitele i ostale ekrane, čini se da ni kućni ljubimci nisu ostali imuni na čari tehnologije. Mnogi vlasnici svojim ljubimcima puštaju crtiće ili dokumentarne emisije i videozapise kako bi ih zabavili dok su odsutni.
Mnoge mačke prave su ljubiteljice prirode i obožavaju gledati snimke ptica, vjeverica i ostalih malih životinja, a mačka Kimchi, čija je vlasnica korisnica TikToka @keeshlife, nije iznimka.
Korisnica TikToka je u objavi prije dva dana podijelila snimku na kojoj možemo vidjeti kako je Kimchi reagirala kada je shvatila da su vlasnici maknuli televizor iz sobe. Kimchi je u šoku skočila na penjalicu koja je stajala pored televizora i počela mjaukati. U jednom trenutku počela je šapom dirati zid na kojem je nekoć bio televizor.
Snimka je u kratkom razdoblju skupila više od 90.000 pregleda, a mnogi gledatelji u komentarima su tražili vlasnike da vrate televizor na staro mjesto.

A fundamental shift in enterprise cybersecurity is underway, with the emergence of Browser AI Agents as a new and potentially more dangerous vulnerability than human users, according to a new report from cybersecurity firm SquareX, (via Techradar).
According to the publication, once hailed for their potential to boost productivity by handling repetitive online tasks, these AI-driven browser agents are now being flagged as major security blind spots. SquareX’s research claims these automated tools are more susceptible to cyberattacks than human employees, challenging the long-standing assumption that human error is the weakest link in organisational security, the report added.
“Browser AI Agents have now overtaken employees as the primary vulnerability within enterprises,” said Vivek Ramachandran, CEO of SquareX. “They can flawlessly carry out tasks, but completely lack the intuition to detect threats.”
Unlike staff who regularly receive cybersecurity training and are increasingly aware of phishing scams, suspicious links, and unfamiliar interfaces, these AI agents operate without any security instincts, the report noted. Driven solely by tasks, they fail to assess risk or question the authenticity of the websites and applications they interact with.
In a demonstration using the open-source Browser Use framework, SquareX instructed an agent to sign up for a file-sharing service. Instead, the agent unwittingly granted access to a malicious application linked to a suspicious domain, something a trained employee would likely have flagged. In another example, an agent was duped into entering login credentials on a phishing site during what appeared to be a routine Salesforce login.
“These tools function with the same access rights as the user they represent,” the researchers explained. “That makes it incredibly difficult for traditional security solutions to distinguish between legitimate activity and compromised AI behaviour.”
Reportedly, this parity in access privileges means that, once compromised, a browser agent can give hackers unrestricted access to enterprise systems, all without triggering standard security alerts. SquareX warns that even leading cybersecurity platforms, from Endpoint Protection to Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) systems, are ill-equipped to deal with this emerging threat.
The company urges enterprises to adopt browser-native security solutions, such as Browser Detection and Response (BDR), which can help identify suspicious agent activity in real-time. Until major browsers integrate native safeguards for AI-driven automation, oversight mechanisms must be developed independently.
“There is an urgent need not just for smarter AI agents, but for smarter oversight,” the report concludes.
Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has sought an explanation from Calicut University for its inclusion of rapper Vedan’s song Bhoomi Njan Vaazhunna idam.
The university recently made it a part of its undergraduate course in Malayalam Language and Literature. However, the Governor has opposed the move and asked for the university’s explanation for it, based on a complaint by a BJP supporter named AK Anuraj. The Governor is also a Calicut University Chancellor, and he has sought the explanation from its Vice Chancellor.
The Governor’s contention stems from the fact that Vedan has been under fire following his arrest for consumption of drugs and possession of a tiger’s tooth. The Governor argued that including his song in the syllabus would make him a bad idol among students, prompting them to follow in his footsteps. It is worth noting that, in 2021, a group of women also accused the rapper of sexual misconduct, a claim to which he agreed and an act for which he apologised.
Vedan has been in the news following the LDF-led Kerala Government’s invitation to him to take part in a recent event marking its 10th anniversary in power. Subsequently, filmmaker Pa Ranjith supported the embattled rapper as he shared an image carrying a piece of text that read, “We Stand With Vedan”.

One97 Communications (Paytm) business metrics continue to see a gradual recovery, led by healthy momentum in merchant business, while disbursement volumes and GMV are also growing at a steady rate. Resumed customer onboarding, stabilisation in MTUs and continued recovery in financial services business will drive healthy growth in revenues. After a sharp decline in FY25, payment revenue is also estimated to grow by 17 per cent in FY26E.
The company plans to expand its merchant market share by leveraging deeper financial integration, robust device deployment and focus on high-GMV merchants alongside FLDG-backed monetisation opportunities.
Paytm’s GMV is thus expected to clock a 23 per cent CAGR over FY25-28E and its disbursement growth rate is estimated to accelerate to 35 per cent, led by a continued thrust on the merchant business and a recovery in consumer lending.
We estimate a 26 per cent CAGR in financial services revenue, with the segment’s share in total revenue expected to rise by more than 250bp to around 27 per cent by FY28E.

Noma’s Rene Redzepi and his international team of chefs, servers, foragers, fermentation geeks, programmers and more are coming to Los Angeles next year for a months-long residency — the restaurant’s first in the U.S.
“We were supposed to be in L.A. this coming fall,” Redzepi said during a brief interview inside one of the greenhouses next to his Copenhagen restaurant not long before the official announcement. “But with the fires, we thought it was all canceled. Then it wasn’t canceled and we moved it to March.”
Like a troupe of culinary troubadours, Redzepi’s team has packed up their knives and garums several times since the restaurant first opened in 2004 and was named the World’s Best Restaurant five times. In 2016, they traveled to Sydney; in 2017, they were on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula; in 2018, Noma was in Tokyo; and they’ve been to Kyoto twice, in 2023 and 2024. But Los Angeles has long been on Redzepi’s radar.
“We’ve been working on L.A. for a while,” he said. “In fact, we’ve been working on America for a while, never really finding that perfect location. I wasn’t really knowing America well enough to properly make a decision. People would say, ‘Oh, you should be in New York.’ Only when I went with my whole family to L.A. some years back, that’s when we fell in love with Los Angeles. Yeah, I truly fell in love with Los Angeles.”
The other times he’d come to Los Angeles had been for work. “It was sporadic, very hectic,” he said. “In and out.”
This extended trip was different for Redzepi, his children and wife Nadine Levy Redzepi, author of the cookbook “Downtime: Deliciousness at Home.”
“We stayed in Manhattan Beach,” he said. “We had days of just strolling around, meeting people, going to all the farmers markets and realizing how many people I know in Los Angeles. It was great having them take us to their favorite places — with Roy Choi in Koreatown and the guys from Night + Market [Kris and Sarah Yenbamroong] taking us around eating Thai food.”

At the recently revived Mad Symposium, a gathering of chefs, farmers and other food professionals, as well as artists and thinkers, one of the speakers was Los Angeles chef Justin Pichetrungsi of Anajak Thai. His talk: “How to Take Over Your Parent’s Restaurant in Five Easy Steps.”
“He’s an extraordinary guy. I really, really like Justin,” Redzepi said. “To tell the truth, when I went [to his Thai Taco Tuesday] for the first time, that’s when I felt, okay, this has to be the place, Los Angeles.
“Because I was like, this can only happen in Los Angeles. There’s something going on — that sort of daringness where you just do things. There’s a creative energy I find in Los Angeles that is based on sort of this grassroots experience, not on money that made you be creative.
“It’s actually more rare than you think in food these days, because most food, you know, it’s big budgets, it’s big projects.”
“Another thing I love about L.A.?” he said. “Tacos. Not just tacos. Noodles. Sushi. Ahhh! … You can find every single ingredient in Los Angeles, and they all taste extraordinary.
“When you come from Denmark, a homogeneous place, it’s exciting to arrive in L.A. It’s like the world came to live in one place.”
Redzepi, of course, is known for staffing his restaurant with chefs and servers from all over the world.
“Our team is from everywhere,” he said. “Mexicans, Chinese, Italians, which is lovely.” His current head chef is Pablo Soto, who is from Mexico City.
“The only thing that can stop us,” Redzepi acknowledges, “is if we don’t get visas. I just got my visa a few days ago.”
Redzepi is hoping that even with the fraught political environment, his team can contribute something good to the city.
“We’re gonna come to L.A. wearing the biggest positivity hat you can imagine. We’re just gonna give it all we have, and we’re gonna cook, and we’re going to be with people, and we’re going to hike in the mountains, and we’re going to have coffee shops. We’re going to have pop-ups with other people. It will be five or six months of energy and trying to meet all the creative people of Los Angeles, and learn from them and be inspired by them.”
Members of thNoma team have already made three trips to L.A. for research without Redzepi. “We were worried that if I went on these trips people would sniff out the project and the news would get out. But he plans to arrive for the long term in late fall.
“If everything goes well, I’ll be there in November. I can’t wait.”
Mauricio Umansky, the real estate broker best known for appearing on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” claims N.A.R. has created a monopoly through its databases of listings.
A mom flying with her family was able to “successfully” swindle an entire row of seats for her group as others weighed in on the move.
Posting in the “r/unitedairlines” forum on Reddit and using the title “Seat Shenanigans – advanced tactics,” a user revealed in real time how he saw the mom hack the system.
“I preboarded (10C). Row in front of me is completely open. [A] family of four comes on in group 2. They take 9A, C, D and F. Mom says to kids, ‘Don’t unpack yet,’” the post relayed.
VICTIM OF ‘SEAT SWAP SHENANIGANS’ REVEALS HOW FELLOW FLYER ATTEMPTED TO TRICK HER
The user then said the “mom is anxiously refreshing the seating chart in the app. I’m thinking they are waiting for the upgrade to Polaris (as am I). I check the app, see that row 9 is showing completely empty.”
The user believed at first the family was given an upgrade — until he realized this was not about an upgrade.
In a viral post, a Reddit user revealed how a family (not pictured) strategically secured an entire empty row on a recent flight.(iStock)
“They’re watching the seating chart like hawks, hoping the seats don’t get booked, waiting for the door to close, because they wanted to take over an empty row,” the person wrote.
“Door is closed, and we’re taxiing. The seats are theirs! Well played, mom,” said the user.
PASSENGER DEFENDS CONTROVERSIAL ‘GATE LICE’ BEHAVIOR AS AIRLINES CRACK DOWN ON EARLY BOARDING ATTEMPTS
Many Redditors took to the comments section to discuss the travel “win” and to weigh in on taking seats in this manner.
“I really think people should sit in the seats they paid for,” commented one user.
“There was no doubt what they were up to.”
Another user said, “The seat map is notoriously inaccurate, so that alone wouldn’t incline me to think shenanigans — but the mother’s behavior with telling the kids to not unpack yet and constantly refreshing her phone display is rather sus[picious],” the person wrote.

“They were all smiles and high-fives once we started taxiing,” the Reddit poster responded. “There was no doubt what they were up to.”
Wrote one user, “Some FA’s [flight attendants] will enforce the walk of shame.”
A mother (not pictured) on board a flight with her family monitored a seating chart in real time until the doors closed — then executed a controversial travel hack so that her group had an entire row to themselves.(iStock)
Another user shared, “I was on a half-empty plane once and the FA didn’t care where people [sat]. I asked if I could move to an empty row and she said, ‘Feel free to.’”
Wrote another person, “I don’t see the issue here. They waited until doors were closed to capture the seats. They knew they could be moved. I think it’s fine.”

Another user shared, “Lately I have seen FAs call people out and make them pay. A guy went full ‘man child’ when they told him to pay for the exit row he invited himself to or go back.”
“You gotta admire their strategy. Not something I would do, but wow,” said another.
“I really think people should sit in the seats they paid for,” commented one user about the viral travel drama described online.(Getty / iStock)
Gary Leff, a Texas-based travel industry expert and author of the blog “View From the Wing,” told Fox News Digital that some airlines have changed their policies regarding switching seats when flights are not fully booked.
“You used to be able to take any open seat in your cabin once the doors closed,” he said.

“You might move closer to the front, grab an aisle seat or head for an empty row in the back so you could stretch out.”
Added Leff, “[Flyers] may not be able to get what they want from the airline when reserving seats, or the airline may want a fee for the seats they want and the passenger doesn’t want to pay — so they’ll try their luck on board.”

The price for Chromebooks can range wildly, from $150 up to $800, and therefore the specs can also vary.
Processor: For the best experience, you should avoid older Chromebooks with Intel Celeron processors. The Chromebook Plus specifications offer a good baseline to guarantee speedy performance, and I’d recommend going with at least an Intel Core i3, Core i5, or AMD Ryzen 3 7000 processor. Just watch out for overspending on configurations with Intel Core i7 processors unless you need the extra horsepower for multitasking, Android games, Linux apps, and dozens of Chrome tabs. While Intel and AMD dominate the processor scene, you’ll occasionally find Chromebooks using ARM processors like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 in the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 above. These can be fine for very basic tasks, but they won’t fare as well under sustained, intense loads. That said, a new generation of ARM chips are on the way, like the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 powering the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14.
RAM: Always opt for at least 8 GB of RAM if you can afford it. You won’t find 4 GB of RAM in anything other than basic, super-budget Chromebooks, but it severely limits your ability to multitask. If you want to avoid slowdowns, 8 GB of RAM is the standard you should aim for, though if you’re budget is under $300, that may be difficult.
Storage: Unlike a Mac or Windows PC, a lot of your Chromebook work will live on the web. This means you can typically get away with less storage, but I wouldn’t recommend going below 128 GB. If you can afford it, you’ll be much more comfortable with at least 256 GB. You’ll get the best speed out of an NVMe solid state drive, so look out for that on the spec sheet when you’re comparing models.
Screen: The vast majority of Chromebook displays you’ll find will be IPS LCD panels, and that’s just fine. OLED displays are finally starting to show up on Chromebooks, though IPS LCD screens are more common and offer a good balance of brightness, contrast, and color accuracy. If you’re shopping in the extreme budget range, watch out for TN LCD panels, as they’re generally lower quality and offer worse viewing angles. For resolution, a 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution (or 1200p for 16:10 aspect ratio) should be your standard. You’ll get crisp visuals at 13- and 14-inch screen sizes, and it’s passable at 15 inches. Higher resolutions will look even better, but they are fairly uncommon in Chromebooks.
Ports: USB-C ports have become commonplace on Chromebooks, so there’s no longer any excuse to buy one without them. Try to get one that charges over USB-C so you can recharge with a portable power bank when you’re on the go. A microSD card slot can also be beneficial if you want an easy way to expand your storage on the fly. You’ll find that some Chromebooks support Thunderbolt 4 over their USB-C ports as well. While that’s an excellent option to have if you plan to plug your Chromebook into some high-end monitors, it isn’t necessary for most people. Instead, you can get similar external monitor support (and spend a lot less) with an HDMI port or DisplayPort over USB-C support.
U POSLJEDNJE se vrijeme često može čuti koliko je važno unositi dovoljno proteina, no mnogi se i dalje pitaju zadovoljavaju li svoje dnevne potrebe. Protein je ključan za obnovu stanica, očuvanje mišićne mase, rad hormona i imunitet. Ako ga ne unosimo dovoljno, mogu se javiti različiti simptomi koji se često zanemaruju ili pripisuju drugim uzrocima. Preporučeni dnevni unos iznosi 0.8 grama po kilogramu tjelesne mase, no stvarne potrebe ovise o dobi, razini aktivnosti i zdravlju.
Osobama u određenim životnim fazama, poput perimenopauze, često je potreban i veći unos. Nutricionistice Rebecca Blake, Tamar Samuels i Danielle Pashko objašnjavaju koji znakovi mogu ukazivati na nedostatak proteina.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Stalni osjećaj gladi
Ako ne unosimo dovoljno proteina, možemo se osjećati kao da smo stalno gladni, pa čak i slabi, tvrdi Samuels. “Pojačan apetit može biti prirodan način na koji tijelo pokušava povećati unos proteina kako bi zadovoljilo svoje nutritivne potrebe”, objašnjava za Parade. Glad se može javiti i ako unosimo dovoljno kalorija općenito, ali bez dovoljno proteina.
Problemi s kosom, noktima i kožom
Budući da su kosa, nokti i koža građeni od proteina keratina, njegov manjak može uzrokovati vidljive promjene. Pashko ističe da manjak proteina može dovesti do ispadanja kose i lomljivih noktiju, a Blake dodaje da koža može postati suha. Prema UCLA Health, to su sve pokazatelji nedostatka ovog važnog nutrijenta.
Neželjeni gubitak tjelesne mase
Kada tijelu nedostaje građevni materijal za održavanje mišićne mase i tkiva, može doći do nenamjernog gubitka kilograma. “Osobe koje unose malo proteina često gube na težini iako to ne žele, što ukazuje na nedovoljan unos”, ističe Samuels. Blake dodaje kako niska razina proteina može uzrokovati i gubitak mišićne mase, što dodatno utječe na tjelesnu težinu.

JEDNA mačka osvojila je simpatije korisnika TikToka zahvaljujući svom komičnom bijesu i jednoj običnoj muhi. U videu koji je pogledalo više od tri milijuna ljudi, mačka se ljuti na muhu koja mirno šeta po stolu, kao da namjerno izaziva.
Ono što je posebno zabavilo gledatelje su namrgođeni izrazi lica koje ova mačka uporno pokazuje dok promatra svog malenog “neprijatelja”. Svojim namrgođenim izrazima lica i frustriranim zvukovima koje proizvodi, ova mačka jasno pokazuje da joj leteći uljez uopće nije po volji.

Mumbai, July 1: Veteran Australian spinner Nathan Lyon has expressed his desire to continue playing Test cricket, with a strong focus on helping his team secure a second ICC World Test Championship crown, as per the official website of the ICC. Lyon played a major role in Australia’s first victory in the World Test Championship Final against India in 2023 and was part of the side that fell to South Africa in the decider at Lord’s last month. WI vs AUS 2025: Australia Batter Steve Smith Trains in New York Baseball Cage To Stay Fit for West Indies Test Series.
While the final of the next edition of the World Test Championship is still two years away, Lyon has no thoughts of retiring just yet, despite the fact, he recently handed over the task of leading Australia’s victory song to keeper Alex Carey. The 37-year-old still has plenty he wants to achieve, with away series victories in India and England and another World Test Championship title right at the top of his list.
“I’ve always said I want to win away in India. I want to win away in England. We’ve got that opportunity in a couple of years, but we’ve also got to take it Test by Test and make sure that we’re doing everything here in the West Indies right. Then we’ve got a massive summer at home with the Ashes. But another World Test Championship Final would be on my cards for sure,” Lyon said, as quoted from the official website of the ICC.
With two Tests remaining in the West Indies this month and the visit from England later this year still to come for the Aussies in 2025, there’s every chance Lyon overtakes McGrath quickly and closes in on Warne’s magical mark in the coming months. WI vs AUS 2025: Australia Batter Steve Smith Confident of Return for Second Test Against West Indies.
Lyon currently has a total of 556 Test wickets to his name, which is third on the list for Australian bowlers behind fellow spinner Shane Warne (708) and former quick Glenn McGrath (563). Lyon is not focused on potentially becoming Australia’s greatest wicket-taker and wants to focus on winning games of Test cricket for his side.
“Warney’s (Shane Warne) a long way away and in my eyes, he’s the greatest to ever play the game. I’m just lucky to be part of a pretty special cricket team at the moment. We’re on our way to becoming a great cricket team, we are not there (yet), as I always say. But to be part of this bowling attack and play my role is special. That’s the reason why I keep playing,” Lyon said.

Motorola is launching yet another smartphone in India with its classic vegan leather textured finish and curved back. The new phone called Moto G96 will make its debut on 9 July is likely to compete with the likes of iQOO Z10 and Realme P3 in the sub- ₹20,000 price segment.
Moto G96 specifications:
Moto G96 is confirmed to feature a 6.67 inch Full HD+ OLED display with 144Hz refresh rate. The display is expected to come with a peak brightness of 1,600 nits and covered by the Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top.
Much like other Motorola phones, the G96 will also come with IP68 water and dust resistance rating, meaning it should potentially be able to handle being submerged in up to 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes.
The phone will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor which also powers the likes of Motorola Edge 60 Stylus, Edge 60 Fusion and the Poco X6.
As for optics, the phone will come 50MP Sony LYT-700C primary shooter and an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens. There could also be a 32MP shooter on the front for taking selfies and attending video calls.
It should come running on Motorola’s Hello UI based on Android 15. While there is no confirmation on the update cycle yet, if Motorola follows its pattern this year, the phone could feature 3 years of promised OS updates and 4 years of security patches.
It is confirmed to pack a 5,500mAh battery with support for 68W of wired fast charging. There is no update yet, however, on if it will also support wireless charging or not. Although considering that the phone is expected launch around the ₹20,000 price point, wireless charging does seem unlikely.
The phone will feature a plastic frame and an in-display fingerprint scanner for unlocking the device.
KOCHI: A name as old as ancient mythology has ignited a modern-day firestorm in Kerala’s film industry. Janaki vs State of Kerala (JSK), a yet-to-be-released courtroom drama, has triggered furious anger among filmmakers, artists and producers, all rallying against what they call the “arbitrary and choking” decisions of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
On Monday, the who’s who of Mollywood — including FEFKA, KFPA and AMMA members — gathered outside the CBFC office in Thiruvananthapuram, venting frustration over a censorship regime they claim is becoming unpredictable, unreasonable and ruinous for creativity. “This isn’t just about Janaki, this is about artistic survival,” thundered Renji Panicker, head of FEFKA’s Directors’ Union. “What next? Will filmmakers have to name their characters One, Two, and Three because religious names are off-limits? This is a cultural chokehold.”
The immediate trigger? The CBFC’s objection to protagonists called Janaki, a revered name for Ramayana’s Sita, in two films, JSK and Token Number. While mythological names in films are nothing new (think Seeta Aur Geeta or Ram Lakhan), filmmakers are now being asked to rewrite, re-dub, and essentially re-construct their films post-production to appease the board’s new sensibilities.
The Kerala High Court itself was baffled. “If Ram Lakhan and Seeta Aur Geeta didn’t raise eyebrows, why Janaki?” the court asked while hearing a petition filed by JSK’s producer Cosmos Entertainment.
But the damage is done. Director M B Padmakumar was forced to rename his Token Number heroine to avoid a stand-off with censors. “The issue was not just her name, it was her relationship with another character, Abraham,” he said. “We had to fight, but eventually we gave in. And we’re not alone.” Even L2: Empuraan, starring industry giants Mohanlal and Prithviraj, wasn’t spared. After a storm of right-wing outrage post-release, the film was voluntarily re-edited and re-certified, delaying its rollout and denting its momentum.
“It’s now a guessing game,” lamented KFPA vice president G Suresh Kumar. “You finish shooting, editing, spend crores, and then you’re told to change character names to get a certificate? That’s not just censorship. That’s sabotage.”
July starts with a series of listing sof new shares on the bourses. Shares of Kalpataru, Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases, Globe Civil Projects and Raymond Realty will make market debut from Tuesday.
Last week saw three initial public offerings – Kalpataru, Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases, Globe Civil Projects – closed on the main board with handsome subscription.

SHOT AT FAME: Apple’s award-winning ‘shot on iPhone’ campaign has driven brand affinity for nearly a decade
Many a powerful marketing trend came to the fore at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity 2025. The topic of artificial intelligence and how best it can be used by marketers cropped up virtually everywhere. The rise of influencer-creators as an unstoppable force came across loud and clear. The use and misuse of purpose by brands was hotly discussed.
But the one overarching theme I carried away from the event is that consistency in backing a big brand idea always scores over doing many little things. David Lubars, who won this year’s Lion of St Mark award for his lifetime of achievements in advertising, was asked whether big ideas matter more than little ones in today’s world. His answer: Big ideas build brands. What we need is lots of little executions of a big idea, to carry across all touchpoints.
Time and repetition
In another insightful session, Marc Pritchard, the Chief Brand Officer at Procter & Gamble, put forward five lessons in brand building. One of these was the need to build memory with advertising. “It takes time and repetition to build memory,” he said. “Have the discipline and courage to be consistent with your advertising.”
This is wise advice, particularly in today’s world of fragmented media and AI, with a perennial temptation to engage in “performance marketing” through short-term tactical campaigns that target consumers with a wide range of offers, deals and clever creatives. WARC, a global authority on marketing effectiveness, has re-emphasised this by highlighting how consistency delivers more brand profits.
Sticking to a strong creative platform, and refreshing it over time with multiple creative approaches, embeds the brand deeply in the minds and hearts of consumers.
Two benchmark examples from Cannes Lions 2025 illustrate the benefits of such consistency in marketing. The brilliant “shot on iPhone” campaign from Apple and the endearing ‘Real Beauty’ platform created by Dove. Both these long-running campaigns received the coveted Grand Prix awards this year.
The “shot on iPhone” idea was launched way back in 2015, primarily as an out-of-home (OOH) campaign. It was remarkably simple — billboards featuring real photographs shot on iPhones by real users. The photographs, techniques and iPhone models used have since changed many times, but the campaign has remained consistent in showcasing the powerful iPhone camera.
Dove’s ‘Real Beauty’ campaign has, since 2004, showcased radically different depictions of beauty
In sharp contrast to competitors who focused on megapixels and lenses, this campaign showed us what iPhone cameras could actually do. It has driven over 20 billion OOH impressions. In 2025 alone, it drove over 40 million visits to the iPhone product page. This single campaign, with all its local adaptations, has contributed significantly to building affinity and purchase consideration for the iPhone, leading to its spectacular growth over the past decade.
Enduring theme
Similarly, the ‘Real Beauty’ platform from Dove was launched in 2004, based on a finding that only 2 per cent of all women described themselves as beautiful. The brand, therefore, developed its creative objective — to help more women feel more beautiful every day. To do this, the brand developed a platform that showcased radically different depictions of beauty, and spoke about what real beauty meant.
The campaign decided to never use models in its advertising. Instead, women are shown as their true selves.
‘Real Beauty’ has seen many different creative executions over the past 20 years, but the core theme remains the same.
Dove, which had been an ageing brand before the launch of this campaign, is today purchased by 37 per cent of the world’s population, according to Kantar. The brand estimates that the ‘Real Beauty’ campaign has driven an incremental revenue of $28 billion. Truly amazing.
In India, too, we have seen some iconic brands develop consistent marketing and advertising platforms, though these have been few and far between. Tata Tea’s iconic ‘Jaago Re’ campaign was launched 15 years ago, and the brand has since remained consistent with this unique platform.
This powerful campaign, which has seen multiple executions, urges us to develop our sense of civic responsibilities, even as we enjoy our favourite cup of tea.
Amul’s topical advertising, which presents the brand’s interesting take on current events, is yet another example of consistency in advertising. Other Indian brands that have exhibited such consistency include Asian Paints and Fevicol.
Consistency is not easy to pursue in today’s world of fragmented media and short-term pressures. But these examples show us that the ongoing power of a strong creative idea, refreshed imaginatively over time, is perhaps the best bet for building a strong brand.

More than 115 million people watched a video of French pastry chef Cédric Grolet make fruit pies that resemble giant blueberries, peaches, oranges and raspberries. A peach dessert molded and spray-painted to look like a real peach drew 63.6 million views. Caramelized banana and peanut butter logs clumped together to mimic a bunch of bananas captivated nearly 33 million people.
Grolet is known for his trompe-l’œil desserts, elaborate creations constructed from various fruit, nut brittles, mousse, cake, creams, custards and chocolates. He’s created desserts that look like oversize peanuts, Buddha’s hands and just about every other nut, stone fruit and berry. I have spent hours on TikTok, mesmerized by these edible works of art.
“These types of desserts have been around for a while, but Cedric would be the one who started the trend and brought these kinds of desserts into popularity,” says Catherine Zhang, chef and partner at Tu Cha boba and dessert shop in Koreatown.
Thanks to Zhang, and a handful of other chefs in Los Angeles, the trompe-l’œil fruit and nut-shaped desserts have made their way west.
Tu Cha
Zhang and her partners opened Tu Cha in March with a short menu of fruit-shaped desserts and what she calls “dream cakes.” The most popular is the My Man Go ($14.50), made with fresh mango encased in crème fraîche mango mousse with hazelnut praline in a tropical chocolate shell made to look like a real mango. When you crack into the chocolate, the mousse is smooth and almost jellylike with a center that tastes like you’re biting into a ripe mango.
The Berry3 ($14.50), pronounced “berry cube,” is presented like a cube-shaped raspberry. It’s a striking red dessert covered in crimson velvet spray that gives the surface the textured, almost hairy look of a real raspberry. Inside, there’s a core of pistachio praline with both raspberry mousse and strawberry coulis.

“It’s pretty crazy how popular these desserts have been with the help of social media,” Zhang says. “We have food creators who have made it a trend to eat these desserts in your car. Those videos get millions of views and people come from that.”
A small team of chefs works around the clock to produce about 1,000 desserts a day, but it’s never enough. Tu Cha sells out of every cake, every day.
“I don’t think people understand the complexity behind the desserts and how long it takes to create each one,” Zhang says. “We are capped at the number we can produce each day because of our freezer space and the number of molds.”
Each dessert takes three days to make. The various components are all made by hand, layered, chilled, molded, chilled again, dipped and sprayed.
Then there’s the Dubai Pistachio ($22). It’s a heart-shaped cake embedded in a black tin, layered with matcha sponge cake, pistachio knafeh, matcha mousse and matcha white chocolate. You use a spoon to crack the matcha white chocolate, then navigate through the many layers to the bottom of the tin. The matcha flavor is intense, bitter and grassy, tempered by the sweet chocolate and crunchy, nutty knafeh.
“After we launched, these desserts have become massive,” she says. “I feel like it’s everywhere now. Everyone has picked it up. Every dessert shop is trying its own version.”
Altadena Bakery
The Grigoryan family has been making a wide array of Armenian pastries at their Burbank bakery since 2014. Owner Art Grigoryan started experimenting with fruit-shaped mousse desserts. Now, the bakery produces half a dozen varieties that resemble pears, red and green apples, oranges, raspberries and mangoes.
The core of each dessert is a fruit filling, with fresh diced mangoes in juice that oozes from the center and a wallop of sweet and bitter citrus in the orange.
The apple filling conjures images of cinnamon-spiked apple pie. All the fillings are sheathed in silky mousse with an outer layer of Belgian chocolate.
“We’re planning on bringing back pistachio, coconut, avocado and lemon soon,” says Art’s son David Grigoryan.
At $10 each, they are the most affordable of all the trompe-l’œil desserts we tried.
Aurora

(Mr. Mirco Magliocca)
When Kay Kara opened Aurora on South La Brea Avenue in the fall of 2023, the glass case that lines the store was filled with classic French desserts and chocolates. His executive pastry chef and master chocolatier, Nour Ramlawi, was trained in Switzerland and spent years as a pastry chef in Dubai.
Kara and Ramlawi first introduced a lemon-shaped confection in March 2024, and it quickly became one of the shop’s top sellers.
“We are pretty much following an international trend that started in France, and we thought we could do something similar for L.A.,” Kara says. “The city was being underserved and the choices were not as novel as what was going on in Europe.”
Kara tasked Ramlawi with transforming an existing mango dessert into a mango-shaped creation called Mango Madness ($15). It’s a sunset-colored orb with a crunchy white chocolate shell, mousse and a fresh mango center.

“When we saw the trend of the fruit-shaped desserts was catching, we thought maybe we should follow the theme and we changed the shape,” Kara says. “I needed to have something that was Instagrammable, and eventually people caught up with what we were doing and it became viral,” he says. “It’s been going viral for over a year now.”
Ramlawi introduces a new fruit dessert every couple of months. Recently, there was a Meyer lemon-filled Lemon County ($12) and a banana-shaped Musa ($15) built with layers of double chocolate and Speculoos, banana coulis, caramel and chocolate fondant spongecake.
The Orangiumum ($25) and Rose Razzleberry ($25) are massive approximations of the fruits they are meant to resemble. A cross-section of the orange boasts eight different preparations of orange and multiple days of assembly. There’s orange cake, a crispy crepe, orange rind, mousse and coulis. Near the center is a round of rice pudding and the entire thing is dipped in white chocolate that’s decorated to look like a sun-kissed orange. An actual leaf (I learned this the hard way) protrudes from the top.
The Rose Razzleberry is just as elaborate, with a base of chocolate cake, Pop Rocks candy, Champagne mousse, chocolate mousse and raspberry coulis.
“I think it’s time for L.A. to evolve beyond the doughnut and the cupcake,” Kara says. “The city deserves more.”
Cool Bites Pâtisserie
Anita Aykazyan says the La Pistache is “the best dessert” in the pastry case at the Glendale shop. The dessert mirrors an unshelled pistachio, with beautiful striations of green and brown and an uneven surface covered in realistic grooves.
“This is actually his,” she says. “I took classes with Grolet and was inspired by his work.”

The La Pistache ($18) is a three-day process that involves a pistachio cream crunchy with pistachio praline, pistachio ganache and white chocolate. Each one is molded and decorated by hand.
Before La Pistache, there was the Raspberry Petit Gateau, a dessert originally offered when the shop opened in April 2024. It underwent a series of transformations, including a heart-shaped design, before Aykazyan found a raspberry mold.
“When we started a year and a half ago with the raspberry dessert, there were not a lot of places doing them,” she says. “Some places were making lemon or orange but no raspberries.”
Aykazyan only offers the raspberry during the summer, and makes an effort to keep her dessert case as seasonal as possible. The petite gateau may be the most lifelike of them all, with a deep red color and a furry velvet exterior. Inside is a light, luscious mousse she learned to make while studying under Ksenia Penkina, a Russian baker based in Vancouver, Canada. And in the very center, a whole raspberry.
“We’re a little behind Europe, but right now, this is a trend in L.A. because they look realistic,” Aykazyan says. “I also think it’s because they are fun and really yummy.”

Providence is an interesting word, commonly used to refer to God, but also to His divine will and the force through which God exerts that will on earth. When reading the writings of the Founding Fathers, they often would refer to Providence as acting during the course of the war.
George Washington wrote, “By the all-powerful dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability and expectation; for I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet escaped unhurt, altho’ death was levelling my companions on every side.” In the mind of the men and women during the Revolution, God was on their side.
Other mentions of Providence or God’s will as it relates to the war or the founding of America as a country by the Founding Fathers include:
Samuel Adams
“The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Whoever shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world.”
“Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, the Creator of the Universe. That He governs it by His Providence.”
“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”
Alexander Hamilton
“For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system, which, without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests.”
Patrick Henry
“Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Beside, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of Nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.”
James Madison
“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions … upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves … according to the Ten Commandments of God.”
George Washington
“It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors.”
“Since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained: And since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.”
In the minds of the Founding Fathers, whether they were Christian or deist, they did believe that God and His Providential will were behind their efforts to separate from England and their victory.
An angler just broke a new fishing record in the Tarheel State.

How do pimple patches work? Back in the day, getting a zit meant caking on disguising layers of foundation, concealer, powder … or maybe just a strategically angled hairstyle. But now, the game has changed: Why hide a pimple when you can dress it up? No frantic blending or pore-clogging products are required. Today, we’re embracing a radically different (and refreshingly low-key) approach to clogged pores: slapping a bright yellow star-shaped sticker on it and calling it a day.
Welcome to the era of the pimple patch, where blemishes aren’t shameful secrets to conceal but just part of the human experience. While putting a literal sticker on a zit may seem bold, it’s also an effective way to treat blemishes. Here, we dive into the science, benefits, and best ways to rock a hydrocolloid pimple patch.

What Is a Pimple Patch?
In simplest terms, pimple patches are tiny, adhesive stickers made to tackle different types of acne, one blemish at a time. These patches unclog pores and absorb excess fluid, speed up wound healing, and keep you from picking at your skin—no small feat. Pimple patches come in various formulas, with different ingredients for different breakouts, but the most popular are hydrocolloid acne patches.
How Do Pimple Patches Work?

Hydrocolloid patches are a type of wound dressing that helps retain moisture and create a moist, healing environment for pimples, burns, or lesions. “They’re made of a water-attracting material, which is attached to a really thin plastic film,” says cosmetic chemist Michelle Wong. “So if you have an open pimple, for example, it can suck out the pus.”
Although hydrocolloid dressings has been used for wound care since the 1960s (the dressings were originally developed in the 1930s by a dentist), it wasn’t until the early 2010s that pimple patches started showing up on skin care and beauty shelves.
When applied to an inflamed pimple—typically one with fluid—the warmth of your skin softens the lining of the sticker, helping it suck out the impurities and gunk. It also acts as a protective barrier that shields the blemish from further irritation or spread. If you’ve ever pulled off a patch to find the underside coated in an icky white substance, that’s a mix of the hydrocolloid gel and the excess oils pulled from the skin. This healing process also prevents you from picking at the pimple—a habit that can lead to longer healing times, infection, and scarring.

“Spot treatments [tend] to contain benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or witch hazel,” writes Lindsey Zubritsky, a board-certified dermatologist at Premier Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center, in an email. “These are active ingredients—while they may work, they can also potentially cause dryness and irritation.” Pure hydrocolloid patches, on the other hand, don’t contain active ingredients, which makes them ideal for sensitive or reactive skin types.
How Often Can You Use Hydrocolloid Patches?
Photograph: Yuliya Sheynina/Getty Images
According to most dermatologists, you can use pimple patches as needed. Zubritsky (aka @dermguru on TikTok) suggests wearing them for up to 12 hours, ideally overnight. But they can also be worn during the day. They’re particularly effective on fluid-filled pimples, such as papules, pustules, or cysts.
POSLJEDNJIH godina kortizol se sve češće spominje kao uzrok niza tegoba, od umora i nesanice do nakupljanja masnog tkiva. Iako mu se često pridaje negativna konotacija, riječ je o bitnom hormonu koji ima važnu ulogu u funkcioniranju tijela.
“Kortizol regulira reakciju tijela na stres, razinu šećera u krvi, metabolizam, upalne procese i čak ciklus spavanja i budnosti”, kaže dr. Erica Armstrong za Eating Well.
Što je kortizol i zašto je važan?
Kortizol je hormon koji luče nadbubrežne žlijezde, a njegova razina prirodno varira tijekom dana – najviša je oko 30 minuta nakon buđenja, a najniža tijekom noći. U stresnim situacijama razina kortizola naglo raste kako bi tijelo moglo brzo reagirati – ubrzava rad srca, povisuje šećer u krvi i priprema tijelo za akciju.
Problem nastaje kada je kortizol stalno povišen, i to bez stvarne fizičke opasnosti. Dugoročno povišena razina kortizola može narušiti zdravlje. Kako prenosi Eating Well, povećava rizik od srčanih bolesti, moždanoga udara, dijabetesa tipa 2 i drugih upalnih stanja.
Prema dr. Armstrong, jedini način da sa sigurnošću znate imate li povišenu razinu kortizola jest testiranje kod liječnika. No postoje simptomi koji mogu biti upozorenje.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Problemi sa spavanjem
Ako teško zaspite ili se budite tijekom noći, kortizol bi mogao biti uzrok. “Kortizol bi trebao biti nizak noću, no zbog stresa ili pada šećera u krvi može porasti i probuditi vas”, objašnjava Armstrong. Istraživanja pokazuju da više razine kortizola prije spavanja pogoršavaju kvalitetu sna, dodaju iz Eating Well.
Nakupljanje masnoće u području trbuha
Ako se debljate u području trbuha bez promjene prehrane ili tjelesne aktivnosti, moguće je da je uzrok hormonalne prirode. “Kortizol potiče skladištenje masti na trbuhu kao zaštitni mehanizam”, dodaje liječnica.
Osjećaj umora i nervoze
Kad je razina kortizola povišena, moguće je da se osjećate mentalno napeto iako ste fizički iscrpljeni. Liječnica ističe da nas “kortizol može držati budnima, ali istovremeno i iscrpljenima”. Dugoročno, povišeni kortizol može oslabiti kognitivne funkcije poput pamćenja i koncentracije.
Kako prirodno sniziti kortizol i upalu?
Snižavanje kortizola pomaže u kontroli upalnih procesa u tijelu i smanjuje rizik od kroničnih bolesti. Evo nekoliko znanstveno podržanih savjeta:
Protuupalna prehrana: Jedite namirnice bogate omega-3 masnim kiselinama, raznoliko voće i povrće te vlakna.
Stabilizacija šećera u krvi: Redoviti obroci s proteinima, mastima i vlaknima mogu spriječiti skokove kortizola.
Upravljanje stresom: Meditacija, svjesnost i redovit odmor pomažu u smanjenju stresa i kortizola.
Prioritet sna: Održavajte redovit raspored spavanja i rituale prije sna.
Zdravlje crijeva: Zdrava crijevna mikrobiota regulira imunitet i smanjuje upalu.

NA PODRUČJU Parka prirode Žumberak – Samoborsko gorje trenutačno se provodi projekt sustavnog praćenja velikih zvijeri, čiji je cilj praćenje prisutnosti i kretanja velikih zvijeri kako bi se osigurala njihova zaštita i dugoročno očuvala bogata bioraznolikost ovoga područja.
Djelatnici parka prirode danas su putem službenog Facebook profila podijelili vijest koja je razveselila sve ljubitelje prirode i divljih životinja: euroazijski ris zabilježen je na čak dva lokaliteta. Ove dragocjene snimke dolaze s područja kojima gospodare Lovačko društvo Kuna Kalje i Lovačka udruga Žumberačka gora.

Najveća europska mačka
Euroazijski ris (Lynx lynx) najveća je europska mačka i ujedno jedan od najskrivenijih stanovnika naših šuma. Prepoznatljiv je po kratkom repu s crnim vrhom, čupavim ušima te snažnom, mišićavom tijelu. Riječ je o samotnjačkoj i izrazito teritorijalnoj životinji koja se u prirodi vrlo rijetko može vidjeti, što svaki ovakav dokaz prisutnosti čini još značajnijim.
U Hrvatskoj ris danas uglavnom naseljava područja Gorskog kotara, Like te dijelove Velebita i Istre, a ponekad se javlja i na području Rijeke, Dalmatinske zagore i Karlovačke županije. Istrijebljen je početkom 20. stoljeća, no zahvaljujući reintrodukcijskim programima i zaštitnim mjerama vraćen je u naše šume tijekom 1970-ih godina.
Ris je u Hrvatskoj strogo zaštićena vrsta prema Zakonu o zaštiti prirode, a istovremeno je i ugrožena vrsta na europskoj razini. Njegova prisutnost važan je pokazatelj očuvanosti ekosustava, budući da se nalazi na vrhu hranidbenog lanca i ima ključnu ulogu u održavanju prirodne ravnoteže.

Alibaba Group has rolled out an upgraded version of its artificial intelligence system, Qwen VLo, strengthening its position in the competitive landscape of AI-driven visual tools. The new model, part of the company’s Qwen product line, is designed to generate and edit images using text or visual prompts.
Announced in a company blog post, the enhanced Qwen VLo follows the earlier Qwen2.5-VL and introduces expanded multimodal abilities. The model now supports text-to-image and image-to-image creation, allowing users to either describe visuals or modify uploaded images using written instructions. One of its key features is “progressive generation,” which enables users to view the step-by-step rendering of an image.
For example, users can input a command like “Generate a picture of a cute cat” or upload an image and prompt edits such as “Add a cap on the cat’s head,” with the model handling the visual modifications accordingly.
The move is part of Alibaba’s broader pivot towards artificial intelligence. The Hangzhou-based firm, better known globally for its online retail business, has been investing heavily in AI development through its Qwen brand. In February, the company’s CEO, Eddie Wu, identified artificial general intelligence, AI with human-like reasoning, as a central goal.
With Qwen VLo, Alibaba is positioning itself against both international and domestic players in the AI sector. It faces increasing competition from Chinese rivals such as DeepSeek, which recently made headlines by releasing a powerful model reportedly developed with minimal financial outlay.
In response to these developments, Alibaba has continued to expand the Qwen suite to include models capable of processing text, images, audio, and video, with an emphasis on efficiency and compatibility with mobile devices. Earlier this year, the company also integrated its AI systems into an updated version of its Quark assistant app.
China’s AI sector is heating up as companies aggressively compete for market share. Cloud service providers, including Alibaba and Tencent, have recently reduced their prices to attract users, with DeepSeek emerging as a significant factor in this intensifying price war. Several AI startups in China have also secured substantial funding at unicorn-level valuations, adding to the competitive landscape.
The first time I met Malini Chib, I was apprehensive. She ‘walked’ in an electric wheelchair, and ‘talked’ by pressing the keyboard of a small typing instrument with ‘one little finger’. Cerebral Palsy did that to her. How was I to talk to ‘such people’? I took a deep breath, pointed to her wheelchair, bent down to her level, and said: “Too bad an excellent career is out of the question for you.” As she looked puzzlingly, I added, “Stand-up comedy.” Wait, what? Why did I say that? Would she be offended? Am I being insensitive? A million questions ran ultramarathons inside my head.
And then Malini laughed. A staccato of “he-he-he-he”, crisp and breathless, like hiccups of joy tumbling over each other, head falling back as if the moment had possessed her. Then: silence; not because it was over, but because the next wave was charging up, too big to stay contained as a rip-roaring laughter erupted from somewhere deep inside her gut, a full-body surrender to delight. Yes, she was drooling, and coughed between laughs – side effects of her condition, but she didn’t care and neither did I, as I couldn’t help laugh at how bad a joke I had cracked.
That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship filled with everything from laughter, tears, fights, to angry outbursts filled with ‘f-bombs’ hurled at each other. You know: a typical dosti. 15 years later, I can understand her even on the phone (a side effect of spending too much time with her infectious presence). And along the way, I have made many other ‘disabled’ friends thanks to Malini’s organization ADAPT – Able Disabled All People Together: Nilesh Singit (a hard talker who doesn’t mince words), Farhan Contractor, Zenia Malegamwala (one of the most vivacious dancers I know), Utpal Shah (a great accountant)… to name a few.
Hence, when the darkness of the theatre swallowed me up, and Aamir Khan flickered to life on the big screen, I was apprehensive — have director RS Prasanna and Aamir done a good job? But instead of Aamir Khan, the superstar, the safe harbour of familiar entertainment, Sitare Zameen Par throws you headfirst into an abyss you didn’t know lived inside. This isn’t a film about disability. It’s a surgical incision into the collective soul of a society that worships ‘normal’’while bleeding out its own humanity.
I watched Gulshan Arora, Aamir Khan’s arrogant, height-obsessed basketball coach, sneer at his new team of “neurodivergent misfits,” and a cold recognition seized me. That sneer? I had worn it. That impatience? I have lived it. That bone-deep discomfort around difference and disability (“Yeh kya baat hui…pagal ko pagal mat bolo“)? It’s the scaffolding I had built my life around before I met Malini. As Gulshan barked orders at the ten luminous souls the world calls disabled, the real horror dawned on me: We—you and I—are the monsters in this story, the real villains, just like Gulshan.
The sugar coating for a bitter pill: Let’s be brutally honest. Aamir Khan is the glittering lure, the brand name that gets our privileged tashreef aka derriere into seats. The film weaponises his stardom against our complacency. His Gulshan isn’t acting—he’s holding up a funhouse mirror to our collective apathy.
Remember the flicker of discomfort you felt when you saw a man with Down Syndrome struggling to order coffee while the barista looked past him? That’s Gulshan. Recall the internal sigh when an elderly woman with a walker slowed your hurried pace on the pavement? That’s Gulshan.
His journey from dismissive coach to humbled human isn’t a character arc; it’s an intervention staged in Dolby surround sound. As he stumbles, fails, and finally sees these ten individuals—not as diagnoses of their condition, but as Satbir with his fierce loyalty, Guddu conquering his terror of water, Golu radiating infectious joy, Lotus navigating the world with quiet grace—the cracking sound isn’t just in the theatre speakers. It’s the brittle shell around your own heart fracturing.
A moment captures this transformation with devastating simplicity. Gulshan, defeated and raw, says: “Jinka dil itna bada ho, unmein koi kami kaise ho sakti hai.”The line hangs in the air, a verdict on our own transactional lives.
The real constellations: Forget Khan. The film’s beating, radiant heart lies in its ten debut stars—Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, Simran Mangeshkar. These aren’t actors playing disability; they are artists sharing fragments of their lived realities with a rawness that scalds the soul.
When Guddu (Gopi Krishna Varma) finally overcomes his paralysing fear of bathing, the triumph isn’t scored with soaring violins but with the quiet, earth-shattering power of a human being claiming agency over his own body. When Golu (Simran Mangeshkar) dances with abandon, her joy isn’t performative; it’s a supernova erupting in the stifling darkness of a world obsessed with “normal”.
As one audience member, the brother of a special needs man, wrote in an emotional letter to Aamir Khan Productions: “My elder brother, who is specially-abled, just kept staring at the now blank screen, silent tears quietly streaming down his face. And then he turned to me and whispered the words that will stay with me for the rest of my life: ‘Yeh bilkul hum jaise hai na?'”
And that’s just one letter. Let me tell you, Aamir, RS Prasanna and Aparna Purohit (producer), tens of millions of others—the Malini’s, Nilesh, Farhan, Zenia and Utpal’s of the world, I know, would be saying the same thing.
The uncomfortable arithmetic of our shared brokenness: We cling to the myth of able-bodied invincibility, of the ‘normal’. But let me ask you: when you were born, were you normal? You were a bumbling idiot and had to be taken care of by your parents for years. So was I. So was my father, in the last two years of his life before he passed away. He wasn’t normal, like I wasn’t when I was born, yet the world didn’t point fingers at us. Why do we point it at ‘them’?
Then, there are cold, hard numbers. According to World Health Organisation (WHO) figures from 2011, about 15% people in the world are disabled. That’s around 1 billion people, a number that’s increasing due to population growth, the rise of chronic diseases, and improvements in measurement metrics. And 15% of India is approximately 222 million Indians. Now, consider the families and friends of these 15%, the parents and siblings of all the disabled people, allies like Kartar Paaji (Gurpal Singh) in the film offering unwavering support, and the total population touched by disability swells to over 50%.
Now add into this the infant who can’t speak, the elders who forget or need help walking, the chronically ill, even me who has myopia, and you’ll realise that over 90% of us are navigating some form of disability right now. So, in this actual normal, where is the place of the mythical ‘normal’ the world keeps harping about?
Disability, as you can hopefully see, isn’t a tragic exception; it is the baseline condition of being human. We enter this world utterly dependent, wailing for care. If we live long enough, we exit it frail, often needing that same care again. The years in between? We’re just temporarily able-bodied, constructing elaborate fortresses of competence to hide our inherent vulnerability.
The film’s quiet genius lies in showing how those we label “disabled” expose this truth daily. They master courage without masks, navigate a world not built for them with relentless resilience, and offer radical tenderness in a world shimmering with cynicism. Their light persists, despite our attempts to curtain it.
The architects we erased: Malini, Mithu, Sathi—giants among us: Now, I’d like to call to attention the character who’s the actual ‘hero’ in the film. No, it’s not Gulshan or the kids. To me, it is equally, perhaps more so—the character of Kartar Paaji, the ally of the disabled. When the world refused to care, he lent his hand and his understanding, bringing, as he does in the film, Gulshan, to understand the truth that there is no normal.
I have been fortunate enough to know many dozen such Kartar Paaji’s in my life. Take Malini’s parents, Dr Mithu Alur who started Spastic Society of India in 1971 (which became ADAPT in the new millennium). Or Sathi Alur who married her later and became more than her own father ever became to Malini and helped the Spastic Society to become a national movement in the next two decades, then a global one—at least spanning the global south, in the last two.
They, and the thousands of people who joined them in the preceding decades, didn’t just start schools; they declared war on a nation’s indifference, brick by painful brick. Sathi Alur, the self-effacing strategist, built systems where none existed.
They fought for inclusion when “disability” was a whispered shame. Their pioneering work birthed the very awareness this film commodifies. Yet, how many people walking into multiplexes this weekend know their names? We celebrate the glittering surface, ignoring the bedrock. This film exists because people like Malini and Nilesh refused to let cerebral palsy silence their voice. It exists because millions of parents turned their living rooms into war rooms for dignity.
The bitter pill coated in political sugar: Even the film’s journey to our screens reveals our national discomfort with raw truth. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) delayed its release, demanding five edits. The most jarring? A mandated quote from the Prime Minister is plastered in the opening frames. Nothing wrong with that, except one word in it ‘divyang’ (divinely-abled).
It rings hollow for many disability rights activists because it’s a saccharine euphemism that airbrushes the daily struggles, systemic barriers, and raw grit required to navigate an inaccessible India. It turns lived reality into feel-good inspiration. Forcing this quote onto the film feels like a desperate attempt to reframe an uncomfortable societal mirror.
True inclusion doesn’t need governmental disclaimers; it needs staircases turned to ramps, inclusive classrooms, and hearts unlocked by stories like Guddu’s victory over water, not political posturing.
Why you must sit in that darkness and let it scorch you: Go. Go watch the film. Not for charity. Not for Aamir. Not even for the ten breathtaking stars. Go because Sitare Zameen Par is the reckoning we’ve spent lifetimes avoiding. It forces us to confront the horrifyingly beautiful truth: We are all, every single one of us, gloriously, irrevocably broken. Our abilities are fleeting illusions. Our independence is a carefully constructed myth. We are all, fundamentally, interdependent. Go, so you can connect with fragile, beautiful, imperfect humanity.
As the final frames fade and the harsh theatre lights stab your eyes, you’ll fumble for your phone, desperate to re-enter the numbing noise of the “real” world. Don’t. Sit in the devastating silence.
Let the tears come – not tears of pity for “them,” but tears of recognition for us. For every time you averted your gaze. For every time you chose efficiency over empathy. For every fortress you built around your own fragility.
Sitare Zameen Par isn’t just entertainment. It’s a collective funeral for the myth of normalcy. It’s a baptism in the messy, magnificent truth: Every human has a star, a sitara, inside them; it’s just that the darkness stops us from seeing it.
The darkness isn’t out there. It’s the shadow we cast when we refuse to acknowledge our own light, and the light in every shattered, beautiful piece of humanity around us. Go. Be broken. Only then can we begin to mend this fractured world, one raw, authentic, perfectly imperfect heartbeat at a time. The stars on Earth aren’t in the sky. They’re sitting next to you, waiting for you to finally see them.
The greatest disability is not in the body or mind but in the soul that refuses to see its own reflection in the broken mirror.
Tenneco Group generated $16,777 million in revenue in the year ended December 31, 2024
Tenneco Clean Air India, part of the US-headquartered automotive component supplier Tenneco Group, has filed a draft red herring prospectus for a ₹3000 crore initial public offering, the entire issue being an offer for sale by its promoter.
The promoter selling shareholder is Tenneco Mauritius Holdings, the other promoter entities being Tenneco (Mauritius) Ltd, Federal-Mogul Investments B.V., Federal-Mogul Pty LTD, and Tenneco LLC.
For visibility
Tenneco Clean Air said in the draft filing that the object of the IPO was to enhance its visibility and brand image in the country as well as to provide liquidity and a public market for its shares.
Tenneco Group generated $16,777 million in revenue in the year ended December 31, 2024.
The first manufacturing plant in India was set up at Parwanoo in 1979. It currently has 12 manufacturing facilities across seven states and one union territory in India, comprising seven Clean Air & Powertrain Solutions facilities and five Advanced Ride Technology facilities. They are located in key automotive OEM hubs in India such as Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat.
Tenneco Clean Air manufactures and supplies critical, highly engineered and technology intensive clean air, powertrain and suspension solutions tailored for Indian OEMs and export markets.
It has a market share of 60 per cent in supply of clean air solutions to commercial trucks and a share of 42 per cent in supply to off-highway vehicles. In FY25, it served 119 customers, including all top seven passenger vehicle makers, according to the DRHP.
In addition to supplying OEMs, it also generates income from the aftermarket and exports, traditionally counter-cyclic revenue streams.
In FY25, the company reported net profit of ₹553.1 crore on revenue of ₹4,890.4 crore.
PUNJABI PATTY: Burger Singh is high on desi flavours
Yashveer Yadav is enjoying his new role as a retail entrepreneur. A few years ago, Yadav, who is in his 40s, quit his banking job to become a franchisee of fast food chain Burger Singh. He started with a food court model at Ambience Mall in Gurugram in 2022, and then a dining-plus-takeaway model in Rajouri Garden in West Delhi last year. He is currently scouting locations for a third outlet. But this time, there is a difference. He needs to invest only about 50 per cent in setting up the new store, with Burger Singh investing the rest.
After 11 years in the business of selling burgers, and several pivots, Burger Singh, founded by Kabir Singh, is now experimenting with a new co-investment model of franchise development; Yadav is a thrilled beneficiary. The new model, says Singh, has been inspired by insights gleaned from the performance of its stores.
But first, a bit of background. When Singh, who had been with The Pint Room, a pioneering beer cafe, started the quaintly named Burger Singh in 2014, which offered very desi flavoured burgers, he went in for a company-owned, company-operated structure with small-format stores focused on delivery — a la Domino’s. But the growth of delivery platforms like Zomato and Swiggy necessitated a change in the model.
In 2019 or so, the retail-focused pivot happened with a franchise model, but Singh describes how it was strongly differentiated from the big American burger brands, which required large store formats (over 3,000 sq ft) and imported equipment, leading to a steep cost of setting up (₹2.5-4 crore).
Burger Singh opted for smaller, 800 sq ft store formats, and used locally manufactured equipment, which meant a franchisee only needed to invest around ₹50 lakh. This economical model allowed Burger Singh to rapidly expand into tier-2, -3 and -4 cities. The chain also pivoted from a premium pricing strategy to mass pricing.
And now comes the interesting new refinement in the franchisee model. Singh describes how they found that some franchisees were more profitable than others. “From our side we were providing the same fit-outs, training, skills, help with marketing, and support, as well as help with finding the right location… so this was curious.”
When they looked deeper, Singh says, “The key difference was that in stores where the owners spent a few hours, the customer experience was better, and there were repeat footfalls. So we started profiling the owners.”
Singh says they discovered that there were two types of franchises. One an investor owner, who delegated everything, and another an owner-manager. “In the latter, the outcomes were better, the hygiene was better, the experience was better.”
So, this led to the new initiative last month, targeting owner-managers, where Burger Singh invests ₹20 lakh and the franchisee invests ₹24 lakh, with the pre-condition that he or she would be present at the store for 90 hours a month. The initiative will start with 50 stores at first.
According to Singh, the chain receives around 800 franchisee requests monthly, but only 7-10 are onboarded. Burger Singh currently has around 185 live stores and another 75 in the fit-out stage. A royalty fee of 4 per cent is collected from franchisees, which are also required to spend 4 per cent on local marketing.
As a category, Singh says, burgers may be growing faster than pizzas. A 2023 report does show that burgers and sandwiches enjoy a growth rate of 19-22 per cent while pizzas clocked 13-18 per cent. Singh feels that the new 10-minute services like Swiggy’s Bolt could be well suited for chains like his. “Our internal target for burger preparation is four minutes,” he says.
For now, though, he is banking on his new entrepreneur class of 2025 to help the chain take a bigger bite of the burger business.
Celia and Joe Ward-Wallace, owners of South LA Cafe, built a rapid response network in case a raid were to occur.
(Irfan Khan / Los Angeles Times)
As restaurants navigate what they can do in times of crisis, part of the frustration stems from reports of illegal tactics employed by ICE. Many videos on social media show agents snatching vendors and workers without presenting a warrant, or detaining and arresting American citizens.
“I think that’s the scariest part that everyone is grappling with,” said Celia. “We can literally be following our side of action to the letter of the law, and you can basically violate our constitutional rights, and there’s no accountability for that.”
Restaurants have also had to navigate the stress of not knowing “who is who,” said Hernandez, as videos on social media have depicted off-duty ICE agents out of uniform and dining at L.A. restaurants.
On June 12, agents dined at the Silver Lake location of local smashburger chain the Win-Dow. The Win-Dow team members confirmed this interaction, and one employee who declined to give his name called the resulting dynamic — ICE agents eating at local restaurants where kitchen staff is primarily Latino and living in fear — “demeaning.”
“It kind of makes you feel like, man, what are you truly doing, you know?” the employee said. “Like, you’re coming to do raids, but you’re gonna come and eat the food we prepare for you. We give you this hospitality, but you come in here and try to be hostile in our city.”
News of ICE agents dining at the Win-Dow spread on social media, with Instagram users leaving comments criticizing the restaurant for not turning the agents away. The Win-Dow has so far not addressed any of the comments or posted a statement on social media, but employees told The Times they achieved the best-case scenario given the risks.
“What would you do?” said Paul Hibler, founder of American Gonzo Food Corp., which owns the Win-Dow in addition to local chains Pitfire Pizza, Superba and American Beauty. “Do you want to refuse service to somebody that would draw attention to you?”
“This is where we are right now in America,” he added. “We’re trying to figure out what we’re supposed to do.”
Out of the confusion, defiant solutions have emerged. Now, when the Win-Dow employees exit the kitchen to the Sunset Triangle Plaza, they immediately swivel around and lock the door tight. Managers in the area have started a group chat to keep each other informed about ICE movements, according to several working on Sunset Boulevard.
And when Lasita did reopen — on June 17, the day after the workshop — it was with new enforcements:
“STOP, This is a Private Space for Employees Only, No Public Entry,” read signs posted in the back of house. Hosts and servers were given prompts to read in case ICE attempted to raid the restaurant. And the owners are working on an official emergency protocol to give to staff, whom Chase said feel more confident now that there is an open dialogue about safety protocol.
“A lot of people open their businesses because it was a dream of theirs to have these spaces, but there is a sense of responsibility that we owe our team,” Hernandez said. “Our industry doesn’t exist without immigrants, and it is morally wrong to not be there for those that have created the opportunities that we are able to realize at this point.”
“They’ve had our backs,” she added. “It’s time to have theirs.”
Dear God, please start a nationwide spiritual awakening this July Fourth. It sometimes feels like there’s a spiritual laziness that has fallen over many people – even people who say they follow you. We all need to be refreshed spiritually. Your Word in Acts 3:19 calls us to: “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”
Please let a time of refreshment sweep across the United States. Spark a hunger for you in the hearts of people from all walks of life. Let them be hungry forholiness that leads to closer relationships with you. Help all Americans understand sin and their need for you. Let them feel your love for them in ways that inspire them to move closer to you.
Please revitalize U.S. churches. Make them all places of passionate prayer and worship, with successful outreaches to their communities. Help all believers in our countryshare your Gospel message in fresh ways, with love and courage. Let all Americans learn about the ultimate hope you offer them. Thank you, God. Amen.
In conclusion, as the fireworks light up the sky this July Fourth, let’s spread God’s light by praying for a revival in our nation. As we pray for revival and live in ways that show we’re ready for it,God will answer our prayers in powerful ways!

Archaeologists recently found an artifact-filled Viking-era burial site in Denmark — revealing treasures that once belonged to an elite family.
The discovery was announced by Moesgaard Museum (MOMU), a regional Danish museum, in a June statement.
The graveyard was found in the village of Lisbjerg, located north of the major Danish city of Aarhus.
MYSTERIOUS ‘DUMPED’ BODIES OF WOMAN AND CHILD FOUND BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN PICTURESQUE TOWN
Archaeologists found 30 graves containing a vast number of burial gifts, including beads and coins.
Ceramics were also found at the site, along with gold thread, scissors and “an unusual casket with beads,” officials said.

The site also retained the bones and teeth of the deceased.
In a statement translated from Danish to English, officials noted the graves “contain a number of spectacular items that may indicate connections to the Danish royal power.”
HISTORY BUFF UNCOVERS LOST MEDIEVAL MONASTERY THANKS TO STRANGE MAP SYMBOL
They added, “Aarhus was one of Denmark’s most important and oldest cities during the Viking era, serving as a center for the king and international trade … Aros and Lisbjerg were closely connected by the old main road, which ran from the Viking city to the manor.”
Archaeologists also uncovered coins at the site, which they carefully extracted from the ground.(JAMES BROOKS/AFP via Getty Images)
One discovery of particular interest was a silver-plated oak casket that likely belonged to a high-status woman.
“Together, [the finds] paint a picture of an aristocratic environment linked to royal power, which was part of the Vikings’ extensive and dynamic world.”
The grave contained a brooch, needle and a filigree bead, made by twisting fine threads of metal into ornate designs.

Mads Ravn, head of local cultural heritage at MOMU, said the grave site is “very likely” connected to a Viking-era manor less than a mile away.
He noted, “The items we have found in the graves tell us that those buried were people of high status – it could be the very family from the manor that is buried here.”

Kasper H. Andersen, a historian at MOMU, said the recent finds are “part of a series of previous remarkable discoveries in the Aarhus area.”

For the May 2025 CA Foundation exams, Papers 1 and 2 were held from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with a 15-minute advance reading time from 1:45 pm to 2:00 pm. Meanwhile, Papers 3 and 4 took place from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, with no advance reading time provided.
Amazingly, the base configuration has 12 GB of RAM. That’s not quite as much as the 16 GB you get in some Snapdragon X-powered Windows laptops like the forthcoming HP Omnibook 5 16—but for ChromeOS, it’s more than enough. Meanwhile, the base configuration comes with 128 GB of storage, and the upgraded model has a 256-GB solid state drive.
Performance is solid. Speedometer is a benchmark that tests performance in the browser, which is important for ChromeOS since it’s all built around the Chrome browser. The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 was around three times faster than the Celeron N4500, as tested in the Asus Chromebook CX15, and around half the speed of the Apple M4 in a MacBook Air. I also tested a couple of heavier Android games like Diablo: Immortal and PUBG Mobile, which played well with settings maxed out. That’s not surprising, but it shows that this chip can handle almost anything you throw at it. Like most ARM-powered laptops, the Chromebook Plus 14 is just as fast on battery as it is while plugged in.
Google and Lenovo are also touting the AI capabilities of this device, as the MediaTek chip is capable of 50 trillion operations per second (TOPS), a standard met by nearly all of its Windows and Mac competitors. Because of that, the Chromebook Plus 14 has a few exclusive on-device AI features you won’t find in other Chromebooks. One of the most useful is Smart Grouping, which can identify the various apps and tabs you have open and group them intelligently into separate desktops. It’s pretty handy. Less interesting to me is Quick Insert, which gives you unnecessarily easy access to AI-generated images. Beyond that, it also has the selection of AI features that come with all Chromebook Plus laptops, such as the helpful Continue Where I Left Off.
The efficiency of the Kompanio Ultra 910 shines bright in battery life tests, too. It has a 60-watt-hour battery, resulting in some impressive runtime. Lenovo and Google claim it’s the longest-lasting Chromebook ever, and it’s the best I’ve tested, lasting 16 hours in a video playback test. It might not last as long as the MacBook Air M4 or laptops like the Asus Zenbook S 16, powered by Intel’s latest Core Ultra Series 2 chips, but it’s in the ballpark. That’s important because before the recent surge in ARM-powered laptops (like the modern MacBooks), Chromebooks were known for battery life. That was largely due to how lightweight ChromeOS was to run. It’s nice to see Chromebooks are back in the running.
Value Where It Counts

The Chromebook Plus 14 has one other trick up its sleeve. Unlike the janky speakers featured in nearly every Chromebook, this Lenovo has a quad-speaker setup and is the first to use Dolby Atmos. These are surprisingly good speakers—almost as good as the 13-inch MacBook Air’s audio, providing a well-rounded sound that even features hints of bass. They’re the best speakers on a laptop of this price.
Many of my points have been couched in the context of the price, and there’s a reason for that. At $650 for the base configuration or $100 more to up the RAM and storage (and add the touchscreen), the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 is hitting a price that Windows laptops have struggled to address. There are contenders, but the Chromebook Plus 14 makes a case for Chromebooks at this price, offering several features and overall build quality that you won’t find in competitors. If you’re willing to embrace ChromeOS, this is simply the best the ecosystem has to offer.
PRIJE svakog treninga iznimno je važno uključiti zagrijavanje. Ono štiti zglobove, povećava protok krvi i pomaže da mišići budu spremniji za napor. Dovoljno je samo nekoliko jednostavnih pokreta da se tijelo pripremi i smanji rizik od ozljeda. Index Vježbe izdvajaju pet osnovnih vježbi za opuštanje i aktivaciju mišića prije treninga.
Poza mačka-krava (2 min)
Pokretom aktivirajte vrat, leđa i core mišiće. Naizmjenično zaoblite leđa (kao mačka), zatim sagibajte unazad (kao krava). Fokusirajte se na disanje i opuštanje trupa.
Rotacija vrata (1 min)
Lagano kružite glavom u oba smjera, prvo u jednu, pa u drugu stranu, radi zagrijavanja vratnog dijela kralježnice. Važno je izvoditi pokrete polako i bez trzanja.
Otvaranje i zatvaranje ruku (1 min)
Ispružite ruke u visini ramena i kružite: širite ruke otvoreno, pa zatvoreno ispred tijela. Ova vježba zagrijava ramena, prsa i leđa te aktivira gornji dio tijela.

Istezanje lista (1 min)
Stojeći, ispružite jednu nogu unazad i lagano oslonite petu na pod, osjećate istezanje lista. Nakon 30 sekundi promijenite nogu. Dobar je način da mišići nogu dobiju fluidnost bez pretjeranog naprezanja.
Istezanje stražnje lože (1 min)
Stojeći uspravno, prednji dio tijela spustite nad ispruženom nogom da osjetite istezanje stražnje lože. Nakon 30 sekundi promijenite nogu. Ovaj pokret povećava pokretljivost kukova i priprema noge za daljnji trening.
Ovih pet vježbi osigurava temeljitu pripremu tijela za svaki trening – povećavaju opseg pokreta, zagrijavaju mišiće i ublažavaju napetost. Ukupno trajanje zagrijavanja je svega 6-7 minuta, ali učinci na izvedbu i sprječavanje ozljeda su značajni. Za više ideja posjetite Index Vježbe.

ORGANIZACIJA The Humane Animal Treatment Society (HATS) iz Michigana, koja se bavi udomljavanjem napuštenih životinja, krajem prošlog tjedna podijelila je video koji otkriva što se događa s kućnim ljubimcima nakon što ih vlasnici napuste – srceparajući prizor koji većina ljudi nikada ne vidi.
Na snimci objavljenoj na TikToku, koja je pregledana više od 2,3 milijuna puta, prikazan je mačak Smokey koji se prestravljeno skriva u kutiji s pijeskom, očajnički mjauče i traži svoju obitelj. Iz skloništa su poručili kako je Smokey proveo cijeli dan skriven, uplakan i izgubljen, a to nažalost nije rijedak slučaj.
“Životinje su često tužne i zbunjene nakon što izgube dom, rutinu i osobe kojima su vjerovale”, poručili su iz skloništa. Iako osoblje ulaže velike napore kako bi pružilo mirno i brižno okruženje napuštenim životinjama, sklonište nikada ne može u potpunosti zamijeniti pravi dom.
Smokey se ipak polako počeo otvarati zahvaljujući strpljenju i pažnji volontera, pokazujući svoju nježnu stranu kada se osjeća sigurno.

Iz skloništa ističu kako postoji mnogo razloga zbog kojih ljudi napuštaju svoje ljubimce — od neinformiranosti o pasmini i obavezama do teških životnih situacija poput bolesti ili financijskih problema. “Naš cilj nije osuđivati, već podići svijest o tome koliko su životinje osjetljive i koliko pate tijekom takvih promjena”, izjavili su za Newsweek.
Video je izazvao snažne reakcije pratitelja, od tuge do bijesa, a mnogi su istaknuli koliko je važno odgovorno vlasništvo, uključujući kastraciju, pažljivo biranje pasmine te izbjegavanje impulzivne kupnje.
Prema podacima, samo u 2024. godini u američka skloništa ušlo je čak 5,8 milijuna pasa i mačaka. Zbog nedostatka kapaciteta mnogi ljubimci ostaju bez prilike za novi dom.
Iz HATS-a pozivaju zajednicu na pomoć kroz donacije, volontiranje i udomljavanje, naglašavajući da svaki trud može spasiti život i pružiti novu šansu životinjama poput Smokeyja.

GLUMICA Sydney Sweeney iznenadila je prisustvom na glamuroznom vjenčanju Jeffa Bezosa i Lauren Sanchez u Veneciji, koje je trajalo od četvrtka do subote. Njezin dolazak nitko nije očekivao, ali stigla je u petak i odmah privukla pažnju svojim modnim izdanjima – od lepršave cvjetne haljine, preko elegantne ružičaste toalete za samo vjenčanje, do ležernih street style kombinacija.
Upravo jedno od tih opuštenijih izdanja posebno se istaknulo. Sweeney je u petak viđena kako šeta ulicama Venecije u crnom kombinezonu s dubokim dekolteom ukrašenim nizom gumbića i volanima. Poseban detalj bila je široka traka koja se vezala oko vrata poput marame, a njezini dugi krajevi elegantno su padali niz leđa i lepršali dok je hodala. Donji dio kombinezona bio je prozračan i ukrašen volanima, što je dodatno naglasilo njegov lepršavi, ljetni karakter.
Glumica je ostala vjerna monokromatskom izgledu, ali mu je dodala dozu glamura i drame. Nosila je crne slingback balerinke Miu Miu, vintage Chanel torbicu s ručkom, velike crne sunčane naočale Givenchy i zlatne naušnice Latelier Newbar. Manikura u nježnoj ružičastoj nijansi i glamurozni valovi u kosi zaokružili su cijeli look.
Crna se pokazala kao neočekivano popularan izbor za street style kombinacije
Crna se, unatoč ljetu i visokim temperaturama, pokazala kao neočekivano popularan izbor među slavnim uzvanicama. Istog dana u crnom je viđena Khloé Kardashian – nosila je A-kroj haljinu brenda Helsa, koju je kombinirala s Chanel natikačama i crnim Miu Miu naočalama. Njezina majka Kris Jenner bila je uz nju u upečatljivom leopard izdanju.
Kylie Jenner je po dolasku u Veneciju nosila crni top nalik grudnjaku, crne hlače, crop kardigan i japanke. Jedini detalj u boji bila je Alaïa Cabas torba s leopard uzorkom.
Dan nakon vjenčanja, Lauren Sanchez viđena je sa suprugom u opuštenoj, ljetnoj kombinaciji dok su šetali gradom. Nosila je crnu haljinu spuštenih ramena s volanima uz dekolte, a stajling je zaokružila upečatljivim šeširom širokog oboda, ukrašenim širokom crnom vrpcom te bijelom Hermès Kelly torbicom sa srebrnim detaljima. Bezos je nosio sivo-tamnoljubičastu majicu i hlače u istoj nijansi.
Crna itekako ima svoje mjesto u ljetnoj garderobi
Crna možda nije prva boja koja pada na pamet kad razmišljamo o ljetnim kombinacijama, ali fotografije sa sunčanih venecijanskih ulica pokazuju da itekako može funkcionirati – i to bez trunke težine. Ključ je u materijalima koji dišu, krojevima koji prate pokret i detaljima koji unose eleganciju bez pretjerivanja.
Bilo da je riječ o lepršavom kombinezonu poput onoga koji je nosila Sydney Sweeney ili jednostavnoj crnoj haljini kakvu je odabrala Khloé Kardashian, ovakvi komadi lako se uklapaju u dnevne šetnje, večernje izlaske ili čak putne kombinacije. Dodate li tome dobar par sunčanih naočala, malu torbicu i udobne cipele – imate outfit koji izgleda promišljeno, a nosi se lako.
Ako ste dosad crnu boju čuvali za hladnije mjesece, možda je vrijeme da je vratite u svoju ljetnu garderobu. Uz pravi kroj i dobar styling, može izgledati jednako svježe i moderno kao i svjetlije nijanse.

Mumbai, June 30: Paris Saint-Germain left no doubt it was Europe’s top club with a historic victory in the Champions League. Now, PSG is intent on conquering the world. Les Rouge-et-Bleu turned in a dominating performance at the Club World Cup on Sunday, brushing aside Lionel Messi and Inter Miami with a first-half blitz that resulted in a 4-0 victory. While the European powerhouses complained mightily about having to play in the newly expanded tournament at the end of a grueling season, PSG is taking the 32-team competition seriously. Outside of a 1-0 loss to Brazilian club Botafogo in group play, PSG has won three games by a cumulative 10-0 since arriving in the United States. Lionel Messi Shows Heart-Winning Gesture, Exchanges Jerseys With Achraf Hakimi Following PSG vs Inter Miami FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Round of 16 Match (Watch Video).
“It’s clear that this is a historic season for us. We intend to continue making history with this competition,” PSG coach Luis Enrique said through an interpreter. “We’re fighting to claim silverware. This season is very long for all the teams. But we’re excited to be here.”
PSG advanced to the quarterfinals, where it will face Bayern Munich next Saturday in Atlanta. The German club defeated Flamengo of Brazil 4-2. There was a huge buildup to the game against Messi, who played two seasons at PSG before making the move to South Florida in the twilight of his brilliant career and was facing his former coach at Barcelona.
But even with an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner leading the way, the club from Major League Soccer was simply no match for a deep, talented squad that routed Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final a month ago. João Neves scored a pair of goals for PSG, setting the tone with a header off a free kick just six minutes into the match.

He scored again in the 39th, and Inter Miami totally fell apart in the closing minutes of the opening half. Tomás Avilés gave up an own-goal on a cross in front of the net, and Achraf Hakimi added to his brilliant campaign with another tally in stoppage time. With a four-goal cushion at the break, PSG could start looking ahead to its next match.
“We will play our game no matter who is against us,” Neves said. “We are confident.”
Messi barely touched the ball in the first half as the Herons struggled mightily just to get across the just to get across the halfway line. The pink-clad fans in the crowd of 65,574 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium tried to stir the underdogs with occasional chants of “Messi! Messi! Messi!” but it did little good. PSG was simply too good.
“With their youthful players and high caliber and an amazing coach, they didn’t let us relax for one second,” Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said through an interpreter. “I feel like this is a team that will be remembered.” Harry Kane Scores Twice As Bayern Munich Beats Flamengo 4–2 To Advance in FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
In another encouraging sign for PSG, French star Ousmane Dembélé got his first action of the tournament after sustaining a left quadriceps injury while on duty with the national team. He came on a substitute for Neves in the 62nd minute.
“It is very important for us to have injured players come back into the fold,” Enrique said. “We have to focus on our goals and get our players back.”
Especially when there’s another trophy within reach.
