Xona Space Systems' Pulsar satellite system to deliver signal 100x stronger than GPS

Xona Space Systems is developing the Pulsar satellite navigation system, with satellites operating in low Earth orbit (LEO). The company says the signal will be up to 100 times stronger than current GPS and GNSS systems, delivering more accurate positioning in dense urban environments and inside buildings. The shorter distance to Earth from LEO is the key factor behind the signal strength gain.

Will the Pulsar system replace GPS as the standard for satellite navigation?

Japan enshrines male-only imperial succession through paternal lineage in law

Japan's parliament has enacted a historic revision to the 19th-century Imperial House Law, enshrining the rule that only men from the paternal lineage can become emperor. The change comes amid concerns about the shrinking imperial family and a shortage of male heirs. The law explicitly rules out female succession to the Chrysanthemum Throne.

Should Japan allow women to succeed to the imperial throne?

Turkey's property market up 28% year-on-year as Middle East conflict drives foreign investment

Foreign investment in Turkish residential property rose 28.3% year-on-year between March and May, according to Turkey's Central Bank data cited by the Daily Sabah. The surge is partly attributed to the Middle East conflict, which has pushed investors to seek safer markets. Turkey is benefiting from a significant inflow of capital from conflict-affected regions.

Is Turkey right to benefit economically from the Middle East conflict?

What should a blueberry bun cost? Pastry expert explains real craft price

Marta Truskolawska-Plichcińska from the Cukiernia u Lecha bakery explains that the price of a genuine craft blueberry bun is driven by the cost of real wild-fruit filling, which is expensive and seasonal. Cheap versions sold in chain stores often contain artificial jam or fillers instead of fresh blueberries. The difference between artisan and mass-produced pastries is therefore a matter of ingredients, not just taste.

Is an artisan blueberry bun worth paying more than a supermarket one?

Eight weeks of salsa classes cut depression and social anxiety, Oxford study finds

Researchers at the University of Oxford and Oxford Health NHS Trust ran a randomised controlled trial with 121 young adults suffering mild to moderate depression and anxiety. Those assigned to an eight-week salsa programme showed significant reductions in depressive symptoms and social anxiety compared with a control group. Salsa's physical benefits – cardiovascular health, muscle tone and posture – were already established; the study adds mental health gains to the list.

Used cars in Polish dealerships pricier than new – Mazovia average tops PLN 72,000

In the first half of 2026, imports of used cars from abroad to Polish dealerships fell while prices rose, according to SAMAR data. In Mazovia, the average used-car price at a dealership exceeded PLN 72,000 – more than some new models from showrooms. Still, over a third of all used-car transactions were priced below PLN 20,000.

Battle of Mątwy 1666: Poles massacred Poles, Sobieski barely escaped

Krzysztof Varga writes about the Battle of Mątwy in July 1666 as one of the darkest episodes in Polish history — a fratricidal clash in which Poles slaughtered Poles with exceptional brutality. The future King Jan III Sobieski, who barely survived, wrote that even Tatars and Cossacks never committed such atrocities. Varga presents the battle as a grim reminder of the capacity for self-destruction in Polish history.

Should Poland teach more about dark chapters of its own history, such as the Battle of Mątwy?

A passenger travelling from Kraków to Cagliari was charged 260 PLN by Ryanair after staff ruled that backpack straps protruding beyond the bag's outline made it non-compliant with carry-on rules. The woman argues the size difference was minimal and has been trying to recover the money for several weeks. A lawyer has commented on whether the charge was justified.

Bonhoeffer's three conditions for stupidity — and why they matter today

Philosopher Jonny Thomson draws on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's three conditions for the kind of stupidity that destroys societies: outsourcing thinking to an authority, wilful ignorance, and conformity. He maps each condition onto today's world — AI answering our moral questions, political parties enforcing loyalty over personal conviction. Thomson argues that conscious, independent thinking is the essential antidote.

Blood pressure of 120/80 no longer ideal — Europe's 2024 guidelines still largely unknown

European guidelines published in August 2024 reclassified blood pressure readings: a result of 120/80 mm Hg may now fall into the "elevated" category, though the diagnostic threshold for hypertension has not been lowered to 120/70 or 130/80 mm Hg. The new classification aims to identify people at risk of cardiovascular disease earlier. Nearly two years after the change, old reference tables are still causing confusion among patients and doctors.

Are the new European blood pressure guidelines a necessary change?

Leading the flotilla is the 71-metre vessel "Victoria", linked to Vladimir Putin himself.
