Kate Middleton performs the perfect curtsy for King Charles at Commonwealth Day service

Kate Middleton performs the perfect curtsy for King Charles at Commonwealth Day service

Published by Daniella Wilson

The Princess of Wales showed her impeccable taste for royal protocol on Monday as she performed the perfect curtsy for King Charles. Kate, 44, was attending the annual Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, joined by her husband Prince William, the King and Queen, Princess Anne, and the Gloucesters.  The family exchanged a warm line-up of kisses upon arrival. Prince William was seen chatting to Anne, his aunt, while music played from the organ.  When the King and Queen approached, William embraced his father. Kate was then seen kissing His Majesty on the cheek, before swiftly dropping into a curtsy, effortlessly completing the move.  The 1,800-strong congregation was also joined by the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, and senior Government figures. For decades, the service has been broadcast by the BBC, but this year, they instead showed an episode of Escape To The Country.  Kate’s perfect curtsies Traditionally, it is a sign of respect to greet the monarch with a curtsy. The move sees ladies bob down into a low curtsy by bending their knees …

Diane Warren Performs Medley of Oscar-Nominated Songs and ‘Dear Me’

Diane Warren Performs Medley of Oscar-Nominated Songs and ‘Dear Me’

Published by Daniella Wilson

“Dear Me” is the name of the original song for which the legendary songwriter Diane Warren is Oscar-nominated this year — but it’s also what she says she thought, with a little bit of exasperation, when she sat down to record the medley, posted below, of all 17 songs for which she’s been nominated over the course of her career, as that is quite a lot of tunes to have written and to have to remember! The tune, which Warren wrote for and is featured in Bess Kargman’s documentary Diane Warren: Relentless, extends the songwriter’s undesirable records for most noms in that Oscar category without a win and most noms for a woman in any Oscar category without a win. (Warren did receive an honorary statuette from the Academy in 2022, but it’s just not the same thing!) It’s also her ninth consecutive nom in the category, and eleventh nom in 12 years. Given that Warren is a perennial bridesmaid, one might assume that the 69-year-old Van Nuys native is disliked by her peers, but the …

Nio performs 165,898 battery swaps — IN A SINGLE DAY

Nio performs 165,898 battery swaps — IN A SINGLE DAY

Published by skeptic

While DC fast charging infrastructure and range anxiety dominate Western EV headlines, Nio’s battery-swap system in China reached a new milestone that proves battery swap tech can rival traditional refueling models at scale: Nio customers performed more than 165,000 battery swaps in single day. The Chinese car brand broke its single-day battery swap record yesterday, 19FEB, the third day of the Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations and marking the third such record for Nio in nearly as many days. If you’re doing the math, 165,898 battery swaps in a single 24 hour period works out to about two (2) swaps every second across Nio’s China-wide network. The surge came as millions of EV drivers hit the road for the Lunar New Year return trip — traditionally the busiest travel day of the year and a demanding annual stress test for the country’s transportation infrastructure. And, from everything we can see, Nio’s swap stations handled the day with exactly the sort of high-tech precision we’ve come to expect from the brand that claims battery swapping, not increasingly …

I ignored Apple’s battery advice for months – here’s how my iPhone 17 Pro Max performs now

I ignored Apple’s battery advice for months – here’s how my iPhone 17 Pro Max performs now

Published by skeptic

I’ve charged this iPhone in all the wrong ways… for science! Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET’s key takeaways It’s normal for iPhone battery health to stay at 100% for the first few months. Expect battery health to drop by 1 percentage point every 50 recharge cycles. Modern batteries are very resilient and can take a lot of abuse. My iPhone 17 Pro Max was one of the first to roll off the production line and into people’s hands on launch day. Since I’d spent the previous two years absolutely babying the battery in my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I decided to take a different approach this time around. Also: After charging my iPhone the ‘Apple way’ for 2 years, here’s the state of its battery now I don’t think it has made any difference. What I’ve done so far As of today — Feb. 7, 2026 — my new iPhone has been through 122 recharge cycles over the past 140 days. I’ve had the charge limit disabled so …

Bruce Springsteen Won’t Back Down: Performs “Streets of Minneapolis” Live in Minneapolis

Bruce Springsteen Won’t Back Down: Performs “Streets of Minneapolis” Live in Minneapolis

Published by José Betancourt

When the his­to­ry books are writ­ten, we’ll remem­ber the politi­cians, law firms, and CEOs who quick­ly bent the knee to Don­ald Trump. We’ll also remem­ber the scant few Amer­i­can fig­ures who refused to back down. Bruce Spring­steen will be high on that short list. Tour­ing in Europe last sum­mer, Spring­steen warned his audi­ence: “The Amer­i­ca that I love, the Amer­i­ca I have writ­ten about, that has been a bea­con of hope and lib­er­ty for 250 years, is cur­rent­ly in the hands of a cor­rupt, incom­pe­tent and trea­so­nous admin­is­tra­tion.” Those words seem par­tic­u­lar­ly pre­scient giv­en the chaos and vio­lence now unfold­ing in Min­neso­ta. Fol­low­ing the shoot­ings of Renee Good and Alex Pret­ti, Spring­steen made his voice heard again—this time through music. Last week, he released the protest song “Streets of Min­neapo­lis” and soon after­ward trav­eled to Min­neso­ta to per­form the song live at a ben­e­fit con­cert arranged by Tom Morel­lo. Speak­ing to the crowd, Spring­steen said, “I wrote Streets of Min­neapo­lis and record­ed it the next day.” When he won­dered if the song sound­ed too ‘soap­boxy,’ …

On Sunday, Justin Bieber ascended the Grammys 2026 stage, marking his return to the awards show for the first time in four years. He wore a pair of silk underpants and socks for his stripped-down performance of “Yukon,” during which his wife Hailey Bieber looked on adoringly. During the performance, the camera caught her tapping her fingers in the universal sign for, as TikTok would say, “clock it.” The last time the Canadian musician attended the annual ceremony was 2022, when he took the stage to perform an acoustic version of “Peaches” alongside Daniel Caesar and Giveon. This year, his album Swag garnered nominations for album of the year and best pop vocal album. He’s also up for best R&B performance for “Yukon” and best pop solo performance for “Daisies.” Justin Bieber channels Tom Cruise in Risky Business with his intimate Grammys 2026 performance.Kevin Winter/Getty Images Bieber walked the red carpet alongside Hailey, who last accompanied her husband to the awards show in 2022.
