Published by Sam Flores

King Charles’s four-day state visit to the US is going ahead as planned, after a shooting at the White House correspondents’ dinner raised doubts about security. The royal trip, which coincides with the 250th anniversary of American independence, is the first since 2007, when the late Queen Elizabeth II was hosted by President George W. Bush. State visits are formal, international visits made by the heads of state, which in the UK is the king. In September 2025, the king hosted an inbound state visit for US President Donald Trump.

However, whether it’s your love life or professional endeavors, rejection is inevitable, and avoiding it only makes these learning experiences harder to handle. A woman embarks on a year-long experiment of purposely being rejected 1,000 times. “I’ve been rejected 1,000 times. Hopefully, what I’ll be saying after a few months,” Carr began in her TikTok video about her experiment. “You know anything about me? It’s that I love chasing dreams. All the dreams I’m chasing are full of nos. They can be so discouraging.” Carr explained that she’s trying to push through that feeling. In her experiment, she’s carrying around …
