How to blog 20 blogging tricks to enhance your writing.
Many emails are sent seeking advice on how to start a blog, about blog topics as well as about how to write meaningful content. The bulk of this piece explained how to start a blog, but that's only the first step. It's now time to begin writing and publishing your content.
Here are 20 tips for beginners on how to blog.
Find Your Niche. You needn't have a niche however it can be helpful. It's important that you ask yourself what your passion is as you learn to be a blogger. Running? Cooking? Parenting? Did you find your passion? Write about it, if you've already done so. It is important to find the passion that you are passionate about first. This is why we say that you shouldn't create a blog on the subject unless your viewpoint is unique. If you've got an unique viewpoint and can live simply, you must consider it.
Identify Your ideal readers. After you've identified your niche, you have to identify who will be the ones who will be. For example, we blog about how to live a fulfilling life with less. Thus, our ideal readers are people who are looking to explore minimalism so they can clear the path toward more meaningful lives.If you're planning to write about your baby infant growing up, that's wonderful Your ideal readers are likely to be your family and friends. If you're planning to write about restoring classic automobiles, then that's fine as well. Tailor your writing to your readers (whether it's your family members or your local community, or anyone else who will be reading your blog).
Add value. Your blog's content must bring value to your readers' lives. Helping people solve their problems is what you're looking for. This is how you will draw in high-quality visitors to your website and keep them coming back. By adding value, you are the only way that someone will keep supporting your website over time. This is something we discovered after a decade of managing and leading people within corporate America. You should consider if you are making a difference in everything you write.
Be original. There are many blogs that are covering the same topics as yours. Your blog is unique, so why? Answer: Because you are. Your blog is unique because of your uniqueness. It's all about your viewpoint your uniqueness, your creativeness, and the value you add.
Create something interesting. Write interesting blog posts. Particularly if you want people to share it with others.
Be You. The ability to tell your story is an important aspect of being intriguing. Your story is important because everybody is unique. The most important aspect of telling a story is removing the superfluous details that make the story uninteresting. The best storytellers will cut out most of the details that are not relevant and leave the interesting 1% to the reader.
Be Honest. If you want people to visit your blog, it must be authentic. Your blog can be your blog or you can make it your blog. That is how authentic are you in the stuff you write about? The public will judge you if you do not. Gandhi's famous quote states, "Be the change that you desire to see around the world." Bloggers should create the blog they are passionate about and write for all of humanity.
Transparency. Being transparent isn't the same thing as being honest. Transparency is not the same as honesty. You won't find any photos of us using the bathroom because all we write about must be for the good of the community.
Time. Time. Instead, you should concentrate on writing.
Vision. Vision. We both was ever involved in design before starting our blog. If you don't know what you would like your blog to appear, it's difficult to create an appealing one.
Find Your Voice. Good writers find their voice with time, and their writing develops an aesthetic that appeals to their readers. Writing will be more real, alive, and urgent when you find your voice. You can read more about Finding Your Voice on our blog.
Instead of you, we. If you can, use the plural in the first person. Statements of we and our are more effective than you and your particularly when discussing undesirable behaviors or habits. The harsh tone of the former person is much more effective. Consider it this way: We're writing peer-to-peer, we're not gods.
When to Post. The question is: What's the ideal time and day to write a blog post? Answer: It really doesn't matter. We don't have an exact time of day, but we do publish every week at least once as consistency is essential. However, you don't need to be too involved with all the particulars.
Social Media. We suggest using Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to connect with your readers. However, don't become too involved. The writing is the most important part of blogging. Social media is a follower.
Negative Criticisms and insanity are ignored. Yes, we receive a lot of negative comments and stupid questions. However, they're not our readers. These are the seagulls. They come in, trash your site and then leave. We don't pay them a mind, since we didn't begin our blog to please them. Remove their comment and go on.
Research. Research is the most important aspect. The reason we are able to use numerous useful, relevant links in our writing is because we put in the time to research our topics.
Keep It Simple. This is why minimalism can be applied to beginning any blog, regardless of the genre. There's no need to add unnecessary advertisements or widgets to your site. Stay with the basics and eliminate anything you don't want. Remove any content that doesn't contribute value.
Picture. Put a picture of yourself on your blog. People love to look at the faces of the person who's writing the blog. If two jolly guys from Dayton, Ohio aren't too worried about putting their photos on their site and you don't have anything to worry about.
Comments. If you're planning on having comments on your blog you should read the Five Words that Kill Your Blog by Scott Stratten.
Living Your Life. You're making a blog about your life (or on specific areas of your life at the very least), so you still need to live your life. It is important to always put exercise first as well as health and relationships. Simply put, lead a life worth writing about.
15 Reasons to Begin a Blog
After reading Joshua Becker's 15 reasons I believe you Should Start a Blog and we were moved to investigate this topic further and then create. In the article, he outlines 15 reasons to start a blog.
Why is the word that is used here. It is crucially important that Becker writes about the purpose of blogging and not just how to start a blog. That's what many of these others "blogs on blogging" appear to overlook: they miss the reason behind the blog,the reason behind starting blogs.
Here's a brief summary of our three favorite reasons from Becker's list:
You'll become a better writer. Writing is communication at its core. Becker writes that writing is about putting your thoughts down on paper and convincing others to agree with you. Writing, just like other kinds of communication, gets better with practice. You won't be forced to write better It will come naturally as you practice it. Achieving a higher level of writing has important advantages for the rest of your life--whether you are creating the book, a PowerPoint of your resume, an anniversary card for your spouse." This is exactly what you need to do! This isn't just a fantastic way of improving your blog writing but it's also a fantastic chance to enhance all aspects of your writing--from business email and texts to that novel you've been fantasizing about.
You'll meet new people. "Whether it be through comments email, social media, you might be surprised at how quickly you meet people on the internet," writes Becker. That's true! The Minimalists blog is responsible for many of the most important relationships I've developed over the last decade, long-term personal and business relationships that were born by this blog.
You'll be more confident. "Blogging will help you discover greater confidence in your daily life," writes Becker. It will be easy to realize that you're a worthy person with your own unique perspective and something you can be able to share with other people. So true! Writing can help us comprehend the world we live and the effects of our actions.
Three Reasons Not to Begin A Blog
You now have 15 reasons why you should start a blog, and we've explained how to get started with a blog, step-by-step, from our own personal experiences.
We'll give you the information that could save hundreds of hours and prevent you from spending your time. (Keep in mind that these are just our opinion and we don't pretend to offer them up as a set of scientific blogging tips.)
Money. You shouldn't begin a blog in order to make money. First, we need to eliminate that obstacle out of the way first. Don't think about blogging if your primary objective is to supplement your full-time income. This isn't the way to go. Are you sure Jimi Hendrix bought his first guitar to "supplement" his income? No, he didn't. Instead, he was doing it out of love for it, and for the pleasure and satisfaction that he felt, and the income was soon after, but much later.
Notoriety. Don't plan on getting "Internet famous" right away. There aren't many sites that grow like ours did, however that's ok. We kind of got lucky. We found a good domain name, we cobbled together a logo and website design that people liked We write pretty well, and our writing resonated with people in an unusual way.We did not create this website to make it "famous," though. That would be a stretch. The site was designed to help people become bloggers and to spread the word. We were awestruck by how popular we became. This was due to luck and hard work.
Traffic. Traffic is not all good traffic. Don't worry about getting thousands of readers instantly. If you help people solve their issues, you can invest your time in creating meaningful creations. Also, you should focus on providing value and not just increasing traffic.
It's amazing to think that these kinds of things are possible. A blog may suffice to earn an income that is full-time. It's something we've done, Corbett Barr does, and many others. It is possible to become an Internet well-known blogger, such as Leo Babauta or Chris Brogan.
But if those are the only motives for you to start a blog, you'll be miserable because it's going to feel like an occupation. If it's an occupation, you'll not be passionate about it, which means you'll hate it or fall flat on your face (or both).
You can also become a blogger because it's what you love to do...
How do you start your blog without spending a dime?
The good news is that starting your own blog is completely free using WordPress. Hosting is the only thing you will need, as detailed in the steps above.
You can also set up a blog using free services such as Tumblr and Blogger. Just be careful, because you might not be able to own the content you post if you're publishing it on the website of someone else. This is one of many reasons why we use WordPress.
How often should I blog?
In my conversations with my writing students I suggest writing every day, and publishing blogs at least once per week. The blog typically publishes two blog posts per week. Seth Godin blogs every single day.
No matter what you decide to do, we recommend you stay steady. You can create accountability with your partners (your readers) by making a daily writing plan. This will help you feel more motivated to write even if it's not your desire.
What should my blog's first post be about?
Avoid grandiosity. Do not clear your throat. The first blog post you write should not be a grandiose mission declaration. Your blog's first post doesn't need to be a dull introduction to your blog.
Instead, pick a topic that you are interested in and write about it. Follow the suggestions in the "What should I blog about" section.
To help you, go back to the blog's first post on this blog, in the year 2010 Be on the Mountain.
How can you present yourself to your blog?
Don't worry about how you present yourself in each blog article. Instead, make an "about" page for new readers to refer to if they'd like know more about you, your life and the projects you are involved in. For an example, check out The Minimalists About page. Our good friend Derek Sivers also has a wonderful Now page that can help you.
What causes blogs to fail?
Blogs can fail for at the very least three reasons:
Some bloggers have unrealistic expectations. If you begin an online blog today and anticipate to have a million visitors in a matter of hours you're creating a recipe for failing. If your motive is genuine-if you're looking to add value to the world-then you'll notice that your expectations will change.
Some bloggers don't add value. Instead of focusing on metrics like subscribers or follower counts, The Minimalists focus on adding value to our readers. Success will come from solving problems for people, and not the reverse.
Bloggers tend to place money first. While it's fine to make money blogging (as we do) however, it isn't the main reason to start a blog. Good blogs make money; good blogs can make a difference. Said another way: We allow money to get a seat in the car, but it's never the driver.

Josh Giddey hit a game-winning, halfcourt buzzer-beater over LeBron James as the Chicago Bulls stunned the Los Angeles Lakers in one of the wildest endings to an NBA game you are ever likely to see.
Trailing 115-110 with 12.6 seconds remaining, Giddey’s inbound pass found Nikola Vucevic, who pushed the ball to a wide-open Patrick Williams for a corner three-pointer.
James then fluffed the Lakers inbound pass from the baseline, allowing Giddey to steal the ball and find Coby White for a second Bulls triple in quick succession to put Chicago up 116-115 with 6.1 seconds remaining.
Austin Reaves then made a driving layup to put the Lakers ahead 117-116 with 3.3 seconds left, but the game wasn’t done yet.
With no timeouts remaining, Giddey inbounded the ball to Williams from the baseline, got the pass back, took one dribble and launched a shot from beyond halfcourt.
Supporters in the stands seemed frozen in anticipation as the ball sailed through the air, and the United Center then erupted as it fell through the net. After the dramatic win, Giddey found himself being swarmed by his teammates.
“Special moment to do it with these guys, this team,” Giddey said, per ESPN. “We’ve shown over the last month to six weeks that we can beat anybody. The way we play the game, I think it wears people down.
“We get up and down. We run. We put heat on them to get back. A lot of veteran teams don’t particularly want to get back and play in transition.”
Giddey later told the Bulls broadcast that he’d “never made a game-winner before.”
The ending capped an incredible couple of games for the Lakers, who had themselves won their last game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday with a buzzer-beating tip-in from James.

In travel news this week: Bhutan’s spectacular new airport, the world’s first 3D-printed train station has been built in Japan, plus new designs for Airbus’ zero-emission aircraft and France’s next-generation high-speed trains.
Grand designs
European aerospace giant Airbus has revealed a new design for its upcoming fully electric, hydrogen-powered ZEROe aircraft. powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
The single-aisle plane now has four engines, rather than six, each powered by their own fuel cell stack.
The reworked design comes after the news that the ZEROe will be in our skies later than Airbus hoped.
The plan was to launch a zero-emission aircraft by 2035, but now the next-generation single-aisle aircraft is slated to enter service in the second half of the 2030s.
Over in Asia, the Himalayan country of Bhutan is building a gloriously Zen-like new airport befitting a nation with its very own happiness index.
Gelephu International is designed to serve a brand new “mindfulness city,” planned for southern Bhutan, near its border with India.
In rail travel, Japan has just built the world’s first 3D-printed train station, which took just two and a half hours to construct, according to The Japan Times. That’s even shorter than the whizzy six hours it was projected to take.
France’s high-speed TGV rail service has revealed its next generation of trains, which will be capable of reaching speeds of up to 320 kilometers an hour (nearly 200 mph).
The stylish interiors have been causing a stir online, as has the double-decker dining car.
Finally, work is underway in London on turning a mile-long series of secret World War II tunnels under a tube station into a major new tourist attraction. CNN took a look inside.

With health influencers raising the bar for success, the wellness space now often feels like a performative space where people strive to showcase peak physical and mental strength.
While seeing others’ achievements can be motivating, it can also be discouraging if your progress doesn’t match theirs.
Each person is chasing the perfect version of themselves — whether it’s a body or a lifestyle — which is dangerous because this is typically an impossible or dangerous version to achieve, Curran said. He added that this type of comparison creates a dangerous cycle in which people constantly feel dissatisfied with their own progress.
“It’s a fantasy in many ways, and once you start chasing after it, you constantly find yourself embroiled in a sense of doubt and deficit,” he said.
Curran also noted that wellness challenges can be particularly damaging for women who struggle with perfectionism, as they tend to be bombarded with impossible beauty standards and societal expectations.
Renee McGregor, a UK-based dietitian who specializes in eating disorders and athlete performance, encourages people to approach wellness trends with curiosity and skepticism. That’s because some influencers and celebrities could be promoting products because there’s a financial benefit for them.
“The thing to ask yourself about the person you’re taking advice from is what do they gain from it?” McGregor said. “If they are going to gain financially, then you know that they (could be willing) to sell you a lie.”
Whether you want to try a new challenge or product that promises amazing results, McGregor suggests doing your research and seeking diverse perspectives, including consulting with doctors when possible.

In the 1931 movie “Frankenstein,” Dr. Henry Frankenstein howling his triumph was an electrifying moment in more ways than one. As massive bolts of lightning and energy crackled, Frankenstein’s monster stirred on a laboratory table, its corpse brought to life by the power of electricity.
Electrical energy may also have sparked the beginnings of life on Earth billions of years ago, though with a bit less scenery-chewing than that classic film scene.
Earth is around 4.5 billion years old, and the oldest direct fossil evidence of ancient life — stromatolites, or microscopic organisms preserved in layers known as microbial mats — is about 3.5 billion years old. However, some scientists suspect life originated even earlier, emerging from accumulated organic molecules in primitive bodies of water, a mixture sometimes referred to as primordial soup.
But where did that organic material come from in the first place? Researchers decades ago proposed that lightning caused chemical reactions in ancient Earth’s oceans and spontaneously produced the organic molecules.
Now, new research published March 14 in the journal Science Advances suggests that fizzes of barely visible “microlightning,” generated between charged droplets of water mist, could have been potent enough to cook up amino acids from inorganic material. Amino acids — organic molecules that combine to form proteins — are life’s most basic building blocks and would have been the first step toward the evolution of life.

To recreate a scenario that may have produced Earth’s first organic molecules, researchers built upon experiments from 1953 when American chemists Stanley Miller and Harold Urey concocted a gas mixture mimicking the atmosphere of ancient Earth. Miller and Urey combined ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), hydrogen (H2) and water, enclosed their “atmosphere” inside a glass sphere and jolted it with electricity, producing simple amino acids containing carbon and nitrogen. The Miller-Urey experiment, as it is now known, supported the scientific theory of abiogenesis: that life could emerge from nonliving molecules.
For the new study, scientists revisited the 1953 experiments but directed their attention toward electrical activity on a smaller scale, said senior study author Dr. Richard Zare, the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor of Natural Science and professor of chemistry at Stanford University in California. Zare and his colleagues looked at electricity exchange between charged water droplets measuring between 1 micron and 20 microns in diameter. (The width of a human hair is 100 microns.)
“The big droplets are positively charged. The little droplets are negatively charged,” Zare told CNN. “When droplets that have opposite charges are close together, electrons can jump from the negatively charged droplet to the positively charged droplet.”
The researchers mixed ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen in a glass bulb, then sprayed the gases with water mist, using a high-speed camera to capture faint flashes of microlightning in the vapor. When they examined the bulb’s contents, they found organic molecules with carbon-nitrogen bonds. These included the amino acid glycine and uracil, a nucleotide base in RNA.
“We discovered no new chemistry; we have actually reproduced all the chemistry that Miller and Urey did in 1953,” Zare said. Nor did the team discover new physics, he added — the experiments were based on known principles of electrostatics.
“What we have done, for the first time, is we have seen that little droplets, when they’re formed from water, actually emit light and get this spark,” Zare said. “That’s new. And that spark causes all types of chemical transformations.”

Guyana’s destiny changed in 2015. US fossil fuel giant Exxon discovered nearly 11 billion barrels of oil in the deep water off the coast of this tiny, rainforested country.
It was one of the most spectacular oil discoveries of recent decades. By 2019, Exxon and its partners, US oil company Hess and China-headquartered CNOOC, had started producing the fossil fuel.? They now pump around 650,000 barrels of oil a day, with plans to more than double this to 1.3 million by 2027.
Guyana now has the world’s highest expected oil production growth through 2035.
This country — sandwiched between Brazil, Venezuela and Suriname — has been hailed as a climate champion for the lush, well-preserved forests that carpet nearly 90% of its land. It is on the path to becoming a petrostate at the same time as the impacts of the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis escalate.
While the government says environmental protection and an oil industry can go hand-in-hand, and low-income countries must be allowed to exploit their own resources, critics say it’s a dangerous path in a warming world, and the benefits may ultimately skew toward Exxon — not Guyana.

For close to 100 years, Michelin stars have been a sign of culinary excellence, awarded only to the great and good.
Georges Blanc, the world’s longest-standing Michelin-starred restaurant, has boasted a three-star rating since 1981, but this month the Michelin guide announced that the restaurant in eastern France was losing a star.
More culinary reputations were enhanced this week, when Asia’s 50 best restaurants for 2025 were revealed. The winner was a Bangkok restaurant which is no stranger to garlands, while second and third place went to two Hong Kong eateries.
You don’t need to go to a heaving metropolis for excellent food, however. A 200-year-old cottage on a remote stretch of Ireland’s Atlantic coast has been given a Michelin star. At the time of awarding, Michelin called it “surely the most rural” of its newest winners.

Остеопатия — это направление медицины, основанное на целостном подходе к организму. Она рассматривает тело как единую систему, где дисфункция одного элемента влияет на другие. Остеопатическое лечение направлено на восстановление баланса, мобилизацию внутренних ресурсов и устранение причин заболеваний, а не только их симптомов.
остеопатическое лечение лечение сосудистых заболеваний головного мозга
1. Основные принципы остеопатии
Остеопатия базируется на трех ключевых принципах:
1. Единство тела – все органы, мышцы, кости и нервы взаимосвязаны.
2. Структура и функция – нарушение анатомии (смещение, напряжение) ведет к дисфункции органа.
3. Саморегуляция – организм способен самовосстанавливаться при правильном воздействии.
2. Методы остеопатического лечения
Остеопатия включает несколько направлений:
Структуральная остеопатия
• Работа с опорно-двигательным аппаратом (суставы, позвоночник, мышцы).
• Применяется при остеохондрозе, сколиозе, болях в спине, последствиях травм.
Висцеральная остеопатия
• Воздействие на внутренние органы (печень, почки, желудок).
• Помогает при нарушениях пищеварения, спайках, застойных явлениях.
Краниосакральная терапия
• Коррекция ритмов черепа и крестца.
• Используется при мигренях, бессоннице, неврозах, последствиях родовых травм.
3. Показания к остеопатическому лечению
• Лечение заболеваний позвоночника (грыжи, протрузии, радикулит).
• Лечение головных болей и мигрени.
• Лечение нарушения осанки (сколиоз, кифоз).
• Лечение болезней суставов (артроз, артрит).
• Лечение проблем ЖКТ (запоры, дискинезия желчевыводящих путей).
• Лечение последствий травм (переломы, растяжения, ДТП).
• Лечение приинекологических нарушениях (болезненные месячные, спайки).
• Лечение при неврологических расстройствах (бессонница, ВСД). Лечение синдром хронической усталости (выгорание, стрессы).
4. Как проходит сеанс остеопатии?
1. Диагностика – врач остеопат руками определяет зоны напряжения и дисфункции.
2. Коррекция – мягкие мануальные техники (без резких движений!).
3. Рекомендации – советы по образу жизни, упражнениям.
Длительность: 40–60 минут.
Курс: обычно 3–8 сеансов с интервалом в 1–2 недели.
5. Противопоказания
? Острые инфекции (температура, воспаление).
? Остеопороз в тяжелой форме.
? Опухоли, тромбозы.
? Психические расстройства.
6. Остеопатия для детей
Особенно эффективна при:
• Лечение родовых травмах.
• Кривошее.
• Лечение гиперактивности (СДВГ).
• Лечение при задержке развития.
7. Отличие остеопатии от мануальной терапии
Критерий Остеопатия Мануальная терапия
Подход Целостный, мягкий Локальный, жесткий
Техники Безболезненные Может быть дискомфорт
Цель Устранение причины Снятие симптомов
8. Вывод
Остеопатия – безопасный и эффективный метод лечения, который помогает не только при болях в спине, но и при многих хронических заболеваниях. Главное – выбрать квалифицированного специалиста с медицинским образованием.

When Season 3 of “The White Lotus” premiered last month, the shock was palpable when returning character Belinda recognized a familiar face at the resort in Thailand: Greg Hunt, the wily suitor of the late Tanya McQuoid.
As the season has unfolded, Greg (played by Jon Gries) has emerged as an antagonist, particularly after Belinda dove into the investigation surrounding Tanya’s death and learned that Greg, who now goes by Gary, evaded questioning by authorities.
On a show famous for reinventing itself, the same has been asked of the actor, who says that playing the ever-shifting character has been a welcome challenge and, like “White Lotus” itself, full of twists.
“In the beginning, I totally played him for a guy who was, you know, on his last legs,” Gries said in a recent interview with CNN, referencing Greg’s very apparent ill health in the first season of “White Lotus,” which premiered to rave reviews in summer 2021. He added: “When you play a character, you want to find his empathetic side, and you want to understand where they came from, and what got them to where they are.”
But when he was contacted by creator Mike White about appearing in Season 2, Gries realized he would have to adjust his framing of Greg, despite having previously imagined a “comprehensive history” for him on his own.
“(White) said, ‘I’m writing it right now, and I’m writing you, and I just need to know here and now: If you’re in, I’ll continue writing. If not, I’ll stop,’” Gries recalled.

During production, White revealed to Gries that Greg is “very sinister.” That became rather irrefutable by the season’s climax, which saw Tanya’s demise orchestrated by her now-husband.
Come Season 3, Gries had to rewrite Greg’s backstory again, this time drawing from some unlikely sources for inspiration, like HBO docuseries “The Jinx,” about late convicted killer Robert Durst, and the case involving the man who came to be known as the Tinder Swindler.
Gries said he was struck by Durst’s “kind of seemingly even keel personality,” which served as a model for where Greg was headed, someone “who doesn’t really show a great deal of emotion, doesn’t seem to get too angry, just gets a little bit irritated and is dangerous.”
“There’s a bridled rage underneath. And those kind of people I find – at least with respect to Gary, Greg, Gary – fascinating,” he said.
And yet, while searching for an empathetic way back to portraying his character, Gries kept wondering if there was anything still redeeming about Greg.
An important “wake up moment” came during a decisive conversation he had with White just before filming in Thailand, in which the show’s creator said of Greg, in no uncertain terms: “He’s a psychopath.”
“And that was it. It was like, ‘back to the drawing board.’ And it really did help me,” Gries said.
The penultimate episode of the series will air on Sunday, an evening that thanks to “Lotus” and other shows has again become a night of appointment viewing amid a general move away from binge watching. Gries said he appreciates the shift.
“We’re a society that in a weird way doesn’t understand the beauty of waiting. The beauty of the space between the notes,” he shared. “If I binged (‘White Lotus’) I’d feel like I just ate too many chocolates. It just wouldn’t be the same. You need to process this.”
“The White Lotus” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EDT on HBO, with the episode available to stream on Max. HBO and Max, like CNN, are owned by the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.

Конечно, я много раз навязывался на поход в ТК с мамой, объясняя разные причины, чтобы посетить, это «чудесное» заведение. Но каждый раз слышал, от неё только отказ.
Мама была у меня симпатичной женщиной с приличной грудью третьего размера, да и в меру обладая стройностью тела, выглядела в свои сорок лет, даже очень ничего. Многие мужчины, часто поглядывали в её сторону, на что мама строя им глазки, пыталась флиртовать с ними. Меня же это раздражало. Возможно во мне играла ревность, что не я центр её внимания.

Но странное поведение мамы, вынуждало меня узнать всё таки истинную причину, её не обычного влечения к шопомании.
Заранее купив новой одежды, чтобы не быть узнаным, и облачившись в эти шмотки, изменив облик, а на глаза нацепив солнцезащитные очки с бейсболкой, я решил проследить за мамой, когда она в очередной раз, пошла за покупками в ТК.

Неотступно ступая ей в след, я добрался с ней до ТК. Не распознав меня, хотя я перед мамой часто светился, проверяя свою маскировку, мы вошли во внутрь этого грандиозного здания. По началу она и вправду ходила по бутикам, оглядываясь не редко на мужчин, а с некоторыми даже беседовала, но коротко, перекидываясь всего парой фраз. Я не слышал о чем они говорили, но по виду мужчин, можно сказать, что оппоненты очень были заинтересованы в этом разговоре.
Спустя час, её брожения по лабиринтам этих бутиков, она остановилась в одном из них и выбрав какую-то блузку, двинулась в сторону кабинки. Подойдя к ней, она оглянулась по сторонам и еще раз взглянув на номер над шторкой и убедившись, что именно в эту примерочную ей надо, мама не суетясь зашла туда.
Подумав, что здесь нет ничего необычного, я приметил молодого человека, с которым мама останавливалась и разговаривала. Он бродил по бутику и высматривал вещи, всё время поглядывая на кабинки. Выбрав что-то из одежды, он подошёл именно к той самой примерочной, куда некоторое время назад зашла моя мама. На вид парень был, чуть старше меня и испуганно взирая по сторонам, открыв штору кабинки, прошёл не задерживаясь во внутрь.
Я глазам своим не мог поверить, что это происходит. Разные мысли в голове, стали меня посещать и в основном они были интимного характера. Неужели моя мама, встречается с этим юнцом и в тайне от отца, изменяет ему, таким способом в примерочной кабинке ТК.
Да, да. У мамы был муж, который приходился мне отцом. Но у меня и в мыслях не было, что мама может так незатейливо, наставлять ему рога, посреди бела дня, да ещё при скоплении множества народа.
Мне стало любопытно, что же они там делают, и я подошёл к кабинке поближе. Стоя у шторы и прислушиваясь, я ничего не мог расслышать. Вокруг голдели люди и звуки сливались, теряясь в пространстве. Смирившись с этим, я отошёл в сторону якобы высматривая, что купить, но неизменно поглядывая в сторону примерочных. Тут неожиданно я увидел ещё пару человек, с которыми мама разговаривала. Они тоже ходили по магазинчику и что-то выбирали, косясь на кабинки с соответствующим номером. Вскоре со временем у примерочной скопилось более пяти человек. И они тупо озираясь друг на друга, не понимали, что вообще происходит. Некоторые примерочные были пусты, но никто в них не заходил из парней, ждавшие не понятно чего, как мне казалось.
И вот, этот парень, что был первый, быстро вылетев из кабинки, как ошпаренный, тут же помчался прочь, поправляя на ходу свои штаны. Я не понимал, что твориться здесь, смотря ему в след, как он удаляется. И пока у меня в голове это переваривалось, в кабинку прошмыгнул следующий из очереди, что стихийно образовалась у заманчивой для них примерочной.

Guatemala has also agreed to create a task force for border control and protection along the country’s eastern borders. The force, composed of members of the National Police and army, will be tasked with fighting “all forms of transnational crime,” Arevalo said.

Foreign nationals who arrive in Guatemala through deportation flights will be repatriated to their home countries, Arevalo said, adding that the US and Guatemala would continue to have talks on how the process would work and how the US would cooperate.

Arevalo also said that Rubio has voiced his support for developing infrastructure projects in the Central American nation. He added that his government would send a delegation to Washington in the coming weeks to negotiate deals for economic investments in Guatemala – which he said would incentivize Guatemalans to stay in their home country and not migrate to the US.
Arevalo said Guatemala has not had any discussions about receiving criminals from the US as El Salvador’s president has offered. He also insisted his country has not reached a “safe third country” agreement with the United States, which would require migrants who pass through Guatemala to apply for asylum there rather than continuing to the US.

Kate Winslet is sharing an anecdote about a “wonderful” encounter she recently had with someone from her star-making blockbuster film “Titanic.”
The Oscar winner was a guest on “The Graham Norton Show” this week, where she discussed her new film “Lee,” in which she plays the fashion model-turned-war photographer Lee Miller from the World War II era.

Winslet recounted that while she had previously executive produced a number of her projects, “Lee” was the first movie where she served as a full-on producer. That required her involvement from “beginning to end,” including when the film was scored in post-production.
She explained to Norton that when she attended the recording of the film’s score in London, while looking at the 120-piece orchestra, she saw someone who looked mighty familiar to her.
“I’m looking at this violinist and I thought, ‘I know that face!’” she said.
At one point, other musicians in the orchestra pointed to him while mouthing, “It’s him!” to her, and it continued to nag at Winslet, prompting her to wonder, “Am I related to this person? Who is this person?”
Finally, at the end of the day, the “Reader” star went in to where the orchestra was to meet the mystery violinist, and she was delighted to realize he was one of the violinists who played on the ill-fated Titanic ocean liner as it sank in James Cameron’s classic 1997 film.
“It was that guy!” Winslet exclaimed this week, later adding, “it was just wonderful” to see him again.
“We had so many moments like that in the film, where people I’ve either worked with before, or really known for a long time, kind of grown up in the industry with, they just showed up for me, and it was incredible.”
“Lee” released in theaters in late September, and is available to rent or buy on AppleTV+ or Amazon Prime.

Announcing a series of sweeping tariffs in a move dubbed “Liberation Day,” Trump said last week that it will lead factories to move production back to American shores, boosting the U.S. economy after “foreign leaders have stolen our jobs, foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories, and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream.”

In a Truth Social post Wednesday, Trump announced that he is raising tariffs on goods imported from China to 125%, up from the 104% that took effect the same day, due to “the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets.” Higher targeted tariffs on other countries have been paused for 90 days, although the 10% baseline tariff will remain in place for all countries.

President Donald Trump pulled back Wednesday on a series of harsh tariffs targeting friends and foes alike in an audacious bid to remake the global economic order.
Trump's early afternoon announcement followed a harrowing week in which Republican lawmakers and confidants privately warned him that the tariffs could wreck the economy. His own aides had quietly raised alarms about the financial markets before he suspended a tariff regime that he had unveiled with a flourish just one week earlier in a Rose Garden ceremony.

The stock market rose immediately after the about-face, ending days of losses that have forced older Americans who've been sinking their savings into 401(k)s to rethink their retirement plans.
Ahead of Trump's announcement, some of his advisers had been in a near panic about the bond markets, according to a senior administration official. Interest rates on 10-year Treasury bonds had been rising, contrary to what normally happens when stock prices fall and investors seek safety in treasuries. The unusual dynamic meant that at the same time the tariffs could push up prices, people would be paying more to buy homes or pay off credit card debt because of higher interest rates. Businesses looking to expand would pay more for new loans.

Two of Trump's most senior advisers, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, presented a united front Wednesday, urging him to suspend the tariffs in light of the bond market, the administration official said.
In a social media post, Trump announced a 90-day pause that he said he’ll use to negotiate deals with dozens of countries that have expressed openness to revising trade terms that he contends exploit American businesses and workers. One exception is China. Trump upped the tariff on the country’s biggest geopolitical rival to 125%, part of a tit-for-tat escalation in an evolving trade war.
Trump reversed course one week after he appeared in the Rose Garden and unveiled his plan to bring jobs back to the United States. Displaying a chart showing the new, elevated tariffs that countries would face, Trump proclaimed, “My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day.”

As the impending tariffs shook the global economy Friday, people who were planning on their retirement accounts to carry them through their golden years said the economic chaos was hitting too close to home.

Some said they are pausing big-ticket purchases and reconsidering home renovations, while others said they fear their quality of life will be adversely affected by all the turmoil.
“I’m just kind of stunned, and with so much money in the market, we just sort of have to hope we have enough time to recover,” said Paula, 68, a former occupational health professional in New Jersey who retired three years ago.
Paula, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because she feared retaliation for speaking out against Trump administration policies, said she was worried about what lies ahead.

“What we’ve been doing is trying to enjoy the time that we have, but you want to be able to make it last,” Paula said Friday. “I have no confidence here.”
Trump fulfilled his campaign promise this week to unleash sweeping tariffs, including on the United States’ largest trading partners, in a move that has sparked fears of a global trade war. The decision sent the stock market spinning. On Friday afternoon, the broad-based S&P 500 closed down 6%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq dropped 5.8%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 2,200 points, or about 5.5%.

Scientist Dr. Randal Voss gets the occasional reminder that he’s working with a kind of superstar. When he does outreach events with his laboratory, he encounters people who are keen to meet his research subjects: aquatic salamanders called axolotls.
The amphibians’ fans tell Voss that they know the animals from the internet, or from caricatures or stuffed animals, exclaiming, “‘They’re so adorable, we love them,’” said Voss, a professor of neuroscience at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. “People are drawn to them.”
Take one look at an axolotl, and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. With their wide eyes, upturned mouths and pastel pink coloring, axolotls look cheerful and vaguely Muppet-like.
They’ve skyrocketed in pop culture fame, in part thanks to the addition of axolotls to the video game Minecraft in 2021. These unusual salamanders are now found everywhere from Girl Scout patches to hot water bottles. But there’s more to axolotls than meets the eye: Their story is one of scientific discovery, exploitation of the natural world, and the work to rebuild humans’ connection with nature.
A scientific mystery
Axolotl is a word from Nahuatl, the Indigenous Mexican language spoken by the Aztecs and an estimated 1.5 million people today. The animals are named for the Aztec god Xolotl, who was said to transform into a salamander. The original Nahuatl pronunciation is “AH-show-LOAT”; in English, “ACK-suh-LAHT-uhl” is commonly used.
Axolotls are members of a class of animals called amphibians, which also includes frogs. Amphibians lay their jelly-like eggs in water, and the eggs hatch into water-dwelling larval states. (In frogs, these larvae are called tadpoles.)
Most amphibians, once they reach adulthood, are able to move to land. Since they breathe, in part, by absorbing oxygen through their moist skin, they tend to stay near water.
Axolotls, however, never complete the metamorphosis to a land-dwelling adult form and spend their whole lives in the water.
“They maintain their juvenile look throughout the course of their life,” Voss said. “They’re teenagers, at least in appearance, until they die.”

The political turmoil follows a parliamentary election that was won by the ruling Georgian Dream party, although its opponents allege the vote was rigged.
Protests highlight battle over Georgia's future. Here's why it matters.
Its outcome pushed Georgia further into Russia's orbit of influence. Georgia aspired to join the European Union, but the party suspended accession talks with the bloc after the election.
As it sought to cement its grip on power, Georgian Dream has cracked down on freedom of assembly and expression in what the opposition says is similar to President Vladimir Putin's actions in neighboring Russia, its former imperial ruler.

Ruthe is next due to compete in the 1,500 meters at the Maurie Plant Meet in Melbourne on Saturday, and one target time to aim for will be his dad’s fastest time of 3:41.22 – three hundredths of a second faster than Ruthe’s current personal best.
But he still has a way to go before he can call himself the most decorated runner in his family. Dad Ben and mom Jess are both former national champions who represented New Zealand on the world stage, while his maternal grandparents won European championship medals for Great Britain.
His grandmother, Rosemary Stirling, arguably had the most impressive achievement: an 800m Commonwealth Games title from 1970.
Despite his family pedigree, Ruthe was never under any pressure to take running seriously. His parents, in fact, didn’t allow him or his sister Daisy to train at all until they were 13, never wanting their identities to be tied solely to running.
“It feels like it’s the right decision about now,” says Ben.
But as he gradually starts to realize his potential, Ruthe, when pushed, admits to having big goals in the sport.
“If I had to pick one thing, definitely Olympic gold,” he says. “I feel like that’s most runners’ dream and the biggest thing you can actually win. So that’ll definitely be the top of my bucket list.”
The 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, Ruthe adds, would be a nice target. And as for the Los Angeles Games in three years’ time? “I’d actually love to try and qualify for LA 28,” he says. “I feel like that’ll be a tough goal. But if I do that, I’ll be really happy.”
Already, Ruthe’s name is being mentioned in the same breath as Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the most successful middle-distance of this generation. It was his record as the youngest-ever four-minute miler that Ruthe took last week, and the New Zealander also beat Ingebrigtsen’s 1,500m record for a 15-year-old earlier this year.
Ingebrigtsen’s success, Ruthe says, has given him hope that he too can “have a good future” in the sport. But his biggest source of motivation comes not from the two-time Olympic champion, but from those closest to him – his training group led by coach Craig Kirkwood and athlete Sam Tanner.
The pair were instrumental in Ruthe’s recent mile time of 3:58.35, and it was five-time national champion Tanner who paced him perfectly around four laps of the track on his way to the record.

The EU President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the region welcomes Trump’s announcement to pause tariffs for 90 days.
Von der Leyen said the EU remains “committed to constructive negotiations” with the U.S., according to a statement from her office.
Meanwhile, Europe continues to focus on diversifying their trade partnerships, engaging with countries that account for 87% of global trade, she said.
Trump’s tariffs have shown that the European internal market is the region’s “anchor of stability and resilience” in times of uncertainty, von der Leyen added.

Irregular trade including smuggling will most likely rise amid the U.S.' and China's tit-for-tat tariffs, an economist warns.
The cost of tariffs has become “prohibitive to almost every company,” Tianchen Xu, senior economist at Economist Intelligence Unit.
“As a result, trade flows in both directions will tumble, and irregular trade will proliferate, including smuggling, transshipment and systemic under-reporting of trade value during customs clearance,” Xu said in a note.
Xu said trade negotiations and a partial de-escalation in the ongoing trade war may ensue in the coming months, but those tensions are likely to worsen in the short term between the world’s two largest economies.
