Documentary "Act of Service" spotlights equine therapy for incarcerated veterans in Texas

Director Ilie Mitaru is helming Act of Service, a documentary about a rehabilitation programme inside a Texas jail that uses equine therapy and horse training for incarcerated veterans. The film is based on Mitaru's award-winning BBC reporting on the programme and is produced by Peabody Award-winner Alex Lieberman. Veterans from the Iraq War are among those featured in the project.

Should equine therapy be more widely used in veteran rehabilitation programmes?

Russia uses Japan as spy hub to acquire Western tech for Ukraine war

Japan has become a key hub for Russian military intelligence operations, the New York Times reports. A covert GRU unit operating in Tokyo is acquiring advanced Western electronics to support Russia's war in Ukraine, circumventing international sanctions. Russia exploits Japanese companies and intermediaries to channel the technology to its armed forces.

Should Japan tighten its export controls to stop technology reaching Russia?

Why hair loses thickness and shine with age โ€” the biological reasons explained

Hair gradually loses density, shine and elasticity with age due to hormonal shifts, a slowdown in hair follicle metabolism, and the cumulative effects of stress and diet. The number of active follicles decreases over time, and each new hair grows thinner than its predecessor. These changes typically accelerate after the age of 30 and are a biological process rather than the result of poor hair care.

Should women accept natural hair changes rather than trying to reverse them?

240-million-year-old mastodonsaurus skeleton slowly revealed in Warsaw

Scientists in Warsaw are daily uncovering new bones of a mastodonsaurus โ€” a giant prehistoric amphibian that lived in present-day Poland around 240 million years ago, predating the famous dinosaurs. The fossil had been locked inside rock for hundreds of millions of years. Once preparation work is complete, the skeleton will be put on public display.

Does Polish palaeontology receive sufficient funding for discoveries like this?

Arkane's 2012 game Dishonored deserves a major TV series adaptation

Dishonored, the 2012 dark fantasy steampunk revenge game from Arkane Studios and Bethesda Softworks, is praised as a near-perfect title with strong cinematic qualities. The author argues its tight narrative and world-building make it ideal for a TV adaptation, especially as high-quality video game adaptations like The Last of Us become increasingly common. Its existing edge and rich universe slot naturally into current streaming trends.

Should Dishonored get a major TV series adaptation?

Microsoft cuts ads and improves local file search in Windows

Microsoft has redesigned the Windows search experience, reducing the number of ads and improving results for local files and system settings. The new interface is cleaner, and the search engine handles typos more effectively. The update is currently rolling out to Windows Insider testers before a broader release.

Should Microsoft completely remove ads from the Windows search function?

Wall Street builds AI tools to decode Fed communications as public guidance shrinks

Wall Street investment firms are preparing for an era of reduced public commentary from the US Federal Reserve. Some are building proprietary AI-powered tools โ€” informally dubbed "WarshGPT" โ€” to gain an analytical edge in interpreting the Fed's increasingly sparse communications. The shift reflects a broader adaptation to the Fed's new communication strategy.

Do firms using AI to analyse Fed communications gain an unfair advantage over other investors?

"Breathing espresso" โ€” one minute of breathwork can replace your coffee

Breathing therapists are increasingly promoting a technique called "breathing espresso" โ€” a short, conscious breathwork exercise said to quickly boost focus and energy without caffeine. The practice involves a series of dynamic inhalations and exhalations that stimulate the nervous system and can be done anywhere: at home, the office or in a car. Proponents say the effect rivals a shot of espresso, minus the caffeine side effects.

Can breathing exercises effectively replace coffee as an energy boost?

One tablespoon of water per egg makes fluffier scrambled eggs

Adding one tablespoon of water per egg is a simple trick for light, fluffy scrambled eggs instead of a dense, rubbery result. The water turns to steam during cooking, aerating the egg mixture and giving it a softer texture. The ratio is easy to remember and requires no extra ingredients.

Does adding water to scrambled eggs really make them fluffier?

Science still cannot pinpoint the origins of the Slavic peoples

The origins of the Slavic peoples remain one of the unresolved questions of historical science. Slavs are today the largest group of European Indo-Europeans, yet researchers have not conclusively determined where they came from or where their original homeland was. The subject is particularly sensitive in Poland for reasons of national identity and history.

Should the origins of the Slavs be a priority for historical research in Poland?

David Bowie's Debut Album: A Must-Have for Every Fan

Before Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke, there was a young, ambitious David Bowie from London searching for his own identity. His debut album, often overlooked, shows a different side of the artist before he redefined pop culture. The article makes a case for including this early record in every Bowie fan's collection as a window into his formative years.

Does Bowie's early work deserve as much attention as his iconic albums?

Laos unable to determine cause of tourist deaths due to lack of autopsies

Without post-mortem evidence, authorities say they have no proof of poisoning. The case has raised safety concerns for tourists travelling to Laos.

Kremlin deploys FSB and prosecutors to audit Russia's defence industry finances

The Kremlin has launched a sweeping financial crackdown on Russia's defence-industrial complex, deploying the FSB, Investigative Committee, Interior Ministry, prosecutors, Federal Treasury, Rosfinmonitoring, the Tax Service and the Anti-Monopoly Service. The agencies are tasked with scrutinising defence-contract pricing, subcontractors, supply chains and strategic assets. Analysts see the move as a sign that Moscow is losing control over war spending and looking to root out fraud.

Will the Kremlin's defence industry purge weaken Russia's combat capabilities?

Moscow is rebuilding its influence in the Caucasus region and gaining new supply routes through Baku. Azerbaijan is playing both sides, extracting economic benefits while avoiding a firm geopolitical alignment.
