EU Cuts Food Promotion Budget While Opening It to More Applicants

The European Commission has revised its approach to promoting EU agricultural products at home and on third-country markets: the total funding pot will shrink, but more organisations will be eligible to apply for grants. This means more applicants competing for a smaller budget, potentially disadvantaging those who previously had easier access to funds.

Should the European Commission reduce the EU food promotion budget?

Puck Bay reaches 21–22°C — as warm as southern Europe

Puck Bay on Poland's Baltic coast regularly warms to 21–22°C in summer, matching water temperatures found in southern Europe. The bay is the warmest bathing spot on the Polish coast, thanks to its shallow waters that heat up faster than the open sea. It is considered the top destination for those seeking a warm Baltic swim.

Bitcoin spot ETFs unlocked institutional adoption since January 2024 launch

A spot bitcoin ETF is a fund that holds actual bitcoin and trades on a stock exchange, letting investors gain price exposure through an ordinary brokerage account. The first US spot bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024, removing custody, compliance and operational barriers that had previously blocked many institutional players. The launch opened the door for asset managers, pension funds and banks to access bitcoin without directly holding the cryptocurrency.

The site is buried deep underground and is considered the most difficult target in Iran's nuclear programme to destroy.

Leaked video shows Samsung foldable with perfectly flat display

A leaked video circulating online suggests that Samsung's next foldable smartphone will feature a display that folds completely flat, with no visible crease. Eliminating the crease has been one of the most sought-after improvements in the foldable segment, as previous models showed a noticeable ridge in the centre of the screen. Samsung has not officially confirmed the authenticity of the footage.

Is a perfectly flat screen enough reason to buy the new Samsung foldable?

New Honda Prelude: Hybrid Coupe Returns, but Lacks Manual Gearbox and Sporty Edge

The Honda Prelude has returned as a modern hybrid coupe, but reviewers note it feels more like an upmarket Civic than a reborn sports legend. The absence of a manual gearbox and a distinct sporty character disappoints many Honda enthusiasts. The car features a contemporary design and an efficient hybrid drivetrain, but falls short of the original's performance credentials.

Is the new Honda Prelude a worthy successor to the original legend?

Pistachio milk nails – soft pastel green is summer's biggest manicure trend

Pistachio milk nails are the latest nail trend featuring a very light, creamy, milky green inspired by pistachio drinks. The look fits the quiet luxury and clean girl aesthetics, favouring a soft, natural shade over bold colour statements. The hue is far from bottle green or neon — it is a gentle pigment softened by a white base, evoking a glass of pistachio milk.

Are pistachio milk nails worth trying this summer?

2003's 'Cold Mountain' modernised The Odyssey 23 years before Nolan's film

Charles Frazier's 1997 novel "Cold Mountain" blended Homer's Odyssey with Civil War America, and director Anthony Minghella adapted it into an Oscar-winning film for Miramax in 2003. The film is being recalled as Christopher Nolan prepares his own Odyssey adaptation. It predates the better-remembered Coen Brothers film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000) in drawing on the same ancient epic.

Poland's "Health Reform Package" — analysts say it lacks real systemic change

Poland's "Health Reform Package" was presented as a comprehensive short- and long-term plan to fix the country's healthcare system. Analysts at oko.press conclude the document is predictable and contains nothing that could be described as genuine reform — failing to address issues such as pay caps, informal payments or systemic privileges. The review argues that neither patients nor medical staff can expect meaningful change based on this package.

Nolan: 'Oppenheimer' made 'The Odyssey' possible

Christopher Nolan told Jon Stewart on The Daily Show that making "Oppenheimer" was a prerequisite that enabled him to take on his upcoming adaptation of "The Odyssey." Stewart quizzed Nolan with playful questions about Homer's epic, such as why the cyclops never told a joke and what happened to the wheels on the Trojan horse. Nolan did not reveal plot details or the cast of "The Odyssey."

Will Nolan's 'The Odyssey' be better than 'Oppenheimer'?
