In summer, people with diabetes face elevated risks of foot injuries from walking barefoot on beaches or hot pavements, which can cause wounds that are extremely difficult to heal. The absence of pain is itself a warning sign — it may indicate neuropathy and developing diabetic foot disease, which can ultimately lead to amputation. Experts urge diabetics to exercise extra caution and check their feet regularly during the warm months.
Contrary to expectations, personalized algorithms are not killing monoculture — they are creating new global music phenomena.

Calm seas and sunny weather have caused a sharp rise in migrants attempting the dangerous Channel crossing from northern France to the UK in small boats. In April 2025, the UK agreed to provide France with €767 million over three years to boost coastal policing.

The phrase "mad as a hatter" has its roots not in Lewis Carroll's fictional character, but in the real occupational hazard faced by hat-makers in the 18th and 19th centuries. Hatters used mercury nitrate to process felt, leading to chronic mercury poisoning with neurological symptoms including tremors, mood swings, and hallucinations. The toxic metal was directly responsible for the bizarre behaviour the expression describes.

Vitamin B12 is needed only in tiny amounts, but a deficiency can cause fatigue and brain fog even before classic warning signs appear, making it easy to mistake for normal aging. Researchers are finding that B12 may be essential for keeping mitochondria — the cell's energy powerhouses — functioning properly. The vitamin was first linked to a life-saving treatment for pernicious anemia nearly a century ago.

The "soft midi bob" is a mid-back-length bob with a soft, uneven cut line and gentle layers. It requires no daily styling, adds volume and can still be tied up when needed. Hairdressers say it works better in summer than long hair, which tends to get greasy and flat faster.

The first trailer for a new film adaptation of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility," directed by Georgia Oakley and starring Daisy Edgar-Jones as Elinor Dashwood, has been released. The film hits cinemas worldwide on September 25, with a cast also including Esmé Creed-Miles, Caitríona Balfe, George MacKay and Fiona Shaw. Fans have reacted critically, worried the film won't match previous adaptations — particularly the beloved 1995 version starring Emma Thompson.
The first trailer for the new film adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, fronted by Daisy Edgar-Jones, has been releasedEsmé Creed-Miles, Caitríona Balfe, Frank Dillane, George MacKay and Fiona Shaw are also in the castThe movie is set to be released in cinemas on September 25The first trailer for the new movie adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones as lead protagonist Elinor Dashwood, has been released — you can check it out below.Releasing in cinemas worldwide in September 25, other cast members include Esmé Creed-Miles, Caitríona Balfe, Frank Dillane, George MacKay, Herbert Nordrum, Bodhi Rae Breathnach and Fiona Shaw.The new movie, directed by Georgia Oakley, is the eighth adaptation of the Jane Austen novel since 1971, across all global media. However, fans of the book are already worried that the new film won't live up to one version in particular: the 1995 movie led by Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson."Unnecessary," one fan comment on YouTube reads, with another agreeing, "Gonna be very hard to top the Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson one."A third adds on X, "1995 stans will riot, but this looks like it actually gets the heartbreak. Count me in for the tissues and the bonnets."While fans are already divided over the impact of Oakley's take on the classic book, we're potentially overlooking the most crucial casting of the bunch: Caitríona Balfe. Opinion: Caitríona Balfe's Outlander experience could elevate Sense and SensibilityWe've all been so busy talking about Daisy Edgar-Jones in the role of Elinor Dashwood that we've completely neglected how inspired a piece of casting Caitríona Balfe is.The Outlander star will be playing Mrs Dashwood, originally played by Gemma Jones in the 1995 movie. Balfe is no stranger to creating compelling historical romance, having starred as Claire in the hit Starz series since 2014.Frankly, she's the ideal person to cast in the face of a Jane Austen remake being so noticeably divisive. The new movie will need as many safe pairs of hands as possible to fend off the 'There-was-no-point-in-making-this-movie' brigade, especially if the idea is to showcase something completely different. As far as the above trailer is concerned, we can expect traditional period-drama vibes throughout. Universal Pictures describes the adaptation as "an irresistible new take on Jane Austen’s iconic Sense and Sensibility: a charming, witty, and deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood."
