A well-known actor had recently completed a film and approached a doctor with a problem. The actor had gained some weight during the making of the film and wanted to lose 6 kg within a few weeks before appearing in public.
The actor was not obese and did not have diabetes, thyroid disorder, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or any other metabolic condition. However, she wanted to know from Dr. Rajiv Kovil if she could still use GLP-1-based weight loss injections like Ozempic or Monjaro.

A Croatian Airlines passenger plane skidded off the runway at Split airport in Croatia on Saturday, causing panic among passengers and briefly disrupting airport operations.The incident involved Airbus A220-300 flight OU412 operating from Split to Frankfurt. According to local authorities and airline officials, the plane veered off the runway while accelerating for departure and stopped on a grassy field near the tarmac.In the video circulated on social media, smoke is seen rising from the plane after stopping on the runway. However, all 130 passengers and five crew members on board were evacuated safely, with no injuries reported.“Croatia Airlines’ Airbus A220-300 aircraft, registered 9A-CAN, which was scheduled to operate today’s regular international flight OU412 from Split to Frankfurt, aborted its takeoff at Split Airport,” Croatia Airlines said in a statement. “There were 130 passengers and five crew on board, including two pilots and three cabin crew. All passengers and crew are safe and no injuries were reported,” the airline said.The airline further said, “According to preliminary available information, the crew aborted the flight in line with prescribed safety procedures. The passengers have disembarked and are currently in the passenger terminal of Split Airport, where they are being provided with all necessary assistance to continue their journey.”Airport officials said the plane suffered damage after hitting the runway side lights and vertical marker sign during the aborted flight.Split airport was temporarily closed as emergency response teams and technical crews worked to remove the aircraft and inspect the runway for damage.Croatia Airlines said the pilots rejected take-off “in accordance with prescribed safety procedures” after deciding it was unsafe to continue.The exact reason behind the canceled flight is unclear. A formal investigation has been launched by the Croatian Civil Aviation Agency and the Air, Maritime and Railway Accident Investigation Agency to determine the cause of the incident.

The cultural environment assumes that creativity is based entirely on ability. We all think that as long as someone has enough talent, is determined and has the unique ability to create artworks, he or she will definitely come into the limelight. However, what we forget is the reality of the financial costs involved. Before any artist tries out for a role or sells their script, there is always a financial hurdle that excludes those unable to pay the price.In 2021, Yale University’s David Geffen School of Drama broke this barrier with a change that sent shock waves beyond its own institution. The David Geffen Foundation’s unprecedented $150 million donation effectively eliminated tuition costs for all full-time degree and certificate students. Although the amount of donations was certainly newsworthy at first glance, it is important to recognize how such innovation changed the demographics of American theater.according to Report issued by the university What distinguishes this generous gesture is the fact that it did not involve the financing of any construction project or physical expansion of its premises. Instead, it involved restructuring the financial structure behind the program’s training process by relieving all candidates of their tuition costs, thus shifting the discussion from an elite educational opportunity to genuine access.Re-engineering the risk factor in creative careersThe reason why this is such a significant change becomes clear when one considers the particular instability of the creative industry compared to other industries, such as law or medicine, which require expensive training but ultimately lead to lucrative careers. The problem is that the performing arts offer highly unpredictable financial rewards.That moment when an acceptance letter arrives with thousands of dollars of tuition debt completely changes the mental calculation. Young artists have no choice but to consider whether they are able to get their acceptance letters accepted or not. Financial constraints become a subtle form of filtering, forcing talented students from disadvantaged backgrounds to think twice before applying.

And this is what the free tuition framework aims to accomplish. according to tuition and living expenses Chart at the school, 100 percent of full-time students now automatically benefit from 100 percent tuition coverage. This changes the sociological implications of receiving a letter of approval. From being impossible to afford, opportunity turns into something tangible. This enables the university to recruit and develop a more diverse talent base of people who might otherwise have found themselves locked out of the industry due to its finances.Structural changes for long-term representationIn this case, there is a larger lesson to be learned about how true representation is made possible within cultural institutions. Diversity cannot be created artificially; It should be designed from the ground up. By simply changing the entry requirements, you automatically change the demographics of the people coming through the door.This model of asset-based philanthropy ensures that the donor’s legacy is preserved within students’ daily lived experiences rather than on a cold marble plaque. Graduates of this system can enter the professional world without the overwhelming need for a corporate job just to pay off their student loans. They are given the freedom to choose ambitious, experimental, and community-driven projects early in their careers, when their artistic voices are most flexible.In short, the Geffen donation serves as an example of how philanthropy can be used as a weapon to democratize an entire industry. Talent is shared equally among the people; However, there are not the means to develop such talent. Transforming the institute from a renowned learning institution to a tuition-free institution was a testament to the most important thing one can create: not a hall for performances but a wide door to all stories.

Delhi High Court On Monday, interim bail was granted till June 2 to Baramulla MP Sheikh Abdul Rashid alias Engineer Rashid, who is in jail in a terror funding case following the demise of his father.A bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Madhu Jain said that during the interim bail period, Rashid will always be accompanied by at least two police officers in plain clothes, who will accompany him from the beginning of the journey from Tihar Jail till his return from Srinagar.The bench ordered that he would be allowed to visit the cemetery or any other place of worship, but would not be allowed to go anywhere else from his residence in Srinagar and Langate.Rashid had sought interim bail on the grounds that his father, who was undergoing treatment at AIIMS, died on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday.Rashid’s lawyer Vikayat Oberoi said interim bail was needed to enable burial, traditional rites and many other ceremonies.“Accordingly, on account of the demise of the appellant’s father, the appellant is granted interim bail till June 2, 2026,” the court ordered.“Immediately, on the expiry of the bail period, the appellant shall surrender before the concerned Jail Superintendent and be brought back to Tihar Jail, Delhi,” it said.The court further ordered that any meeting between Rashid and persons other than his family members would take place only in the presence of police officers and he could use only one mobile number, which would be given to the investigating officer and would be kept “ON” at all times.It also directed Rashid not to contact any witnesses or their family members or indulge in any criminal or illegal activity or leave the country without its prior permission.On April 28, the court granted him interim bail for a week so that he could meet his ailing father in Srinagar. This period was extended till May 10 after Rashid’s father was shifted to AIIMS here for treatment.Rashid is facing trial in the terror funding case. He is accused of funding separatists and terrorist groups in Jammu and Kashmir. He has been lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail since 2019 after he was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in the 2017 case.After they were named in the chargesheet in October 2019, a special NIA court framed charges against Rashid and others in March 2022 under sections 120B (criminal conspiracy), 121 (waging war against the government), and 124A (sedition) of the Indian Penal Code and relevant provisions of the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

Wayne Rooney has criticized Mohamed Salah for publicly questioning Liverpool’s direction under Arne Slot and said the forward should be removed from the club’s final game of the season after showing “disrespect” towards his manager.

Speaking on The Wayne Rooney Show, the former Manchester United FC captain hit back strongly at Salah’s recent comments regarding his desire to bring Liverpool back to the “heavy metal” football played under former manager Jurgen Klopp.

Rooney said the comments were effectively another public jab at Slott and were unfair on a manager preparing for his first full season in charge.

“It saddens me what he did and what he achieved at Liverpool,” Rooney said. “There’s no point for him to come out and take another shot at the slot. He wants to play heavy metal football, so he’s basically saying he wants Jurgen Klopp football.”

Rooney also questioned whether Salah could still cope with the demands of Klopp’s high-intensity style.

“Now I don’t think Mo Salah can cope with that type of football. I think his feet have adapted to playing at that high pace and high intensity,” he said.

The former England captain said Salah’s comments had undermined the slot as he left Liverpool’s dressing room to deal with the consequences ahead of next season.

“He’s almost thrown a grenade and said he doesn’t trust Ernie Slot and he’s almost ousted his teammates who are going to be there next season and they have to deal with that too,” Rooney said.

Salah and Slott have faced a difficult relationship during the season. Earlier in the campaign, Salah accuses Liverpool of throwing him “under the bus” Amid disappointment over lack of regular starts.

Despite Salah’s record of 257 goals for Liverpool and his role in the club’s recent successes, Rooney believes the forward’s latest comments have diverted attention from a disappointing season on the pitch.

After scoring 29 league goals during Liverpool’s title-winning campaign last season, Salah has scored 12 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions this year as the club struggles to break into the top five.

“I think Salah is trying to vindicate himself and make himself feel better because he’s had a very bad season,” Rooney said. “So I think he’s been very selfish in what he’s done on two occasions.”

Rooney also recalled his dispute with former manager Alex Ferguson, saying that he was left out of Ferguson’s final home match following a disagreement. He believes Slott should take the same approach to Liverpool’s final match against Brentford FC.

Rooney said, “If I were Ernie Slott, I wouldn’t even have him anywhere near the stadium in the last game.” “He’s your manager. You can’t insult him twice in public and get away with it.”

Rooney said Salah deserves recognition for his achievements at Liverpool but the manner of his exit has marred a proper farewell.

“It’s a shame to see one of the great players of the Premier League leave the Premier League in perhaps this condition,” Rooney said.

Whenever someone takes a selfie, records a sunset or scans a QR code, they are unknowingly using technology built on a scientific idea that was once dismissed as strange and almost unbelievable. More than a century ago, Albert Einstein Proposed that light behaved not only as a wave, but also as tiny packets of energy capable of stripping electrons from the material. At the time, this idea seemed strange to many scientists. Yet the same principle, known as the photoelectric effect, would eventually become one of the foundations of modern electronics, helping power the solar panels, motion sensors and smartphone cameras now carried by billions of people around the world.

nobel winner Einstein The principles behind smartphone cameras

In the early 20th century, physicists believed that light behaved entirely as a wave, similar to waves traveling in water. According to classical physics, brighter light should always produce more energy because stronger waves carry more power. But the experiments continued to produce strange and confusing results.Scientists observed that certain types of light could produce electricity when shined on metal surfaces. What was even more surprising was that the color of the light mattered more than its brightness. Weak ultraviolet light can instantly liberate electrons from a material, while even very bright red light often does nothing.This phenomenon became known as the photoelectric effect, and it challenged everything scientists thought they knew about light.In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed a revolutionary explanation. He suggested that light is not just a spontaneous wave propagating in space. Instead, it behaved like tiny packets of energy, later called photons. Each photon has a certain amount of energy depending on the color or frequency of the light.Imagine trying to knock a ball off a ledge with small pebbles. Even thousands of soft pebbles may fail to move it, but one hard rock can make it fall instantly. In the same way, dim ultraviolet light contains high-energy photons that immediately liberate electrons, while bright red light contains low-energy photons that may still be too weak to do anything.This makes it clear why brightness alone doesn’t matter. A brighter beam only means more photons, not stronger. What really mattered was whether each photon had enough energy to release an electron.This idea seemed radical because it contradicted the long-held belief that light is only a wave. Many scientists initially opposed Einstein’s theory because it seemed too strange to be true. Yet subsequent experiments repeatedly confirmed that he was right.Today, Einstein is most famous for his theory of relativity, but his Nobel Prize was actually awarded for his work on the photoelectric effect.In 1921 the Nobel Committee recognized his explanation of how light interacts with matter, calling it one of the most important breakthroughs in physics. This discovery later became one of the foundations of quantum mechanics, the branch of science that studies the strange behavior of particles on the atomic and sub-atomic scale.Einstein built on earlier work by scientists including Heinrich Hertz and Max Planck, but he connected the pieces in an entirely new way. His theory helped scientists understand that light could behave as both a wave and a particle, a concept that still shapes modern physics today.

How do smartphone cameras rely on the photoelectric effect?

Modern smartphone cameras work because camera sensors can convert light into electrical signals. This process directly depends on the photoelectric effect.Most smartphones today use CMOS image sensors, tiny semiconductor chips filled with millions or billions of light-sensitive pixels. When light enters the camera lens and hits the silicon inside the sensor, photons release electrons through the photoelectric effect.Those electrons are then measured and converted into digital information. The phone’s software processes that information to create photos and videos.Without this interaction between photons and electrons, digital photography would not exist.Engineer Eric Fossum, who helped develop CMOS imaging technology at NASA during the 1990s, played a major role in making smartphone cameras practical. Originally designed for space imaging, CMOS sensors eventually became small, efficient and cheap enough to be installed inside billions of mobile phones.Today, the camera of almost every smartphone in the world depends on this technology.

The principle that powers everyday life

The photoelectric effect now provides power far more quietly than cameras.Solar panels use a related process called the photovoltaic effect to convert sunlight into electricity. Motion detectors and burglar alarms use infrared light sensors that react when the beam of light is interrupted. Automatic doors, rain-sensing windscreen wipers and barcode scanners also rely on light-triggered electrical responses.Even some medical imaging technologies rely on ultra-sensitive sensors built using the same principles that Einstein helped explain.An unusual example occurred in 2015, when engineers working on Raspberry Pi computers discovered that powerful camera flashes could crash the device. The bright xenon glow triggered the photoelectric effect inside one of the exposed chips, temporarily disrupting the computer’s operation.This incident showed that Einstein’s theory is not just an abstract scientific concept. Engineers still have to consider this in modern electronics.

future of light based technology

Scientists are now developing even more advanced sensors capable of detecting individual photons, the smallest measurable units of light.These ultra-sensitive devices can dramatically improve low-light photography, night vision systems and medical CT scanners while reducing radiation exposure for patients. Researchers are also creating flexible light-sensitive materials that could one day help create advanced bionic eyes and wearable medical monitors.Some scientists believe that future generations of image sensors could allow machines to “see” even in almost complete darkness.While the technology continues to develop, the underlying principle is still based on Einstein’s 1905 breakthrough.

From bizarre theory to everyday reality

When Einstein first proposed that light came in tiny packets of energy, many physicists viewed the idea with skepticism. Yet over the next decades, experiments repeatedly proved him right.Today, the photoelectric effect is at the heart of countless modern technologies. It helps generate renewable energy, power security systems, and enable smartphones to capture billions of photos every day.What was once considered a strange theory has quietly become one of the most important scientific ideas behind modern life.
