Kelly Osbourne enjoys quality time with son Sidney following split from Sid

Published by Daniella Wilson

Kelly Osbourne has shared a sweet glimpse into life with her young son Sidney in the wake of her split from partner Sid Wilson, posting a candid video that quickly won over fans. The clip shows Kelly and three-year-old Sidney enjoying a day out on what appears to be a farm, standing in a grassy field as they chat and laugh together. But it’s Sidney’s honest commentary that steals the show. © Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for TheKelly with her son Sidney in 2024 “What don’t you like?” Kelly asks her son in the video. “Poop, we don’t like poop,” he replies, prompting laughter. “I don’t want to step on them.” As Kelly continues to hold him, she teases: “Is that why you’re making me hold you?” – just as a white horse approaches from behind. “Look at that gorgeous, gorgeous horse,” Kelly says, before the pair burst into giggles as the animal gently nuzzles Sidney’s blonde hair. Captioning the post, she joked: “So today we found out that Sidney does not like poop.” The playful …

Pink noise worsens sleep quality when used to block out traffic and city noise

Pink noise worsens sleep quality when used to block out traffic and city noise

Published by José Betancourt

Pink noise—often promoted as a sleep aid—may actually worsen sleep by reducing REM sleep, while simple foam earplugs offer far better protection against nighttime noise, according to a new study published in Sleep. Environmental noise—such as traffic, aircraft, or alarms—is known to disturb sleep and contribute to long‑term health problems. Deep sleep is particularly vulnerable, and chronic disruption has been linked to cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and impaired daytime functioning. At the same time, broadband noise like pink or white noise has been marketed as a way to mask unwanted sounds and promote rest. Despite their popularity, scientific evidence supporting broadband noise as a sleep enhancer has been surprisingly thin. Led by Mathias Basner from the University of Pennsylvania, the researchers designed a tightly controlled seven‑night sleep‑lab experiment involving 25 healthy adults with an average age of 28.5 (seven males). Each participant slept under different conditions, including quiet nights, nights with intermittent environmental noise (e.g., sounds of cars and trains), nights with continuous pink noise alone, and nights combining environmental noise with either earplugs or …

Guardian source messaging tech bringing in ‘much higher quality’ of tips

Guardian source messaging tech bringing in ‘much higher quality’ of tips

Published by Sam Flores

Screenshots from The Guardian’s secure messaging platform on its app The Guardian says it is bringing in a “much higher quality” of tips from sources since its new secure messaging technology launched last year. Secure Messaging, which rolled out in June, uses espionage-style techniques to conceal and encrypt messaging sent by sources to journalists within The Guardian app. Only the relevant journalists have the decryption key to view the messages before they disappear after 14 days. And because the app is constantly sending signals from every phone on which it has been downloaded, sources have better cover than most other encrypted services. Secure Messaging has just been named a finalist for best new digital product in the International News Media Association’s Global Media Awards. Luke Hoyland, who leads The Guardian’s investigations and reporting developer teams, told Press Gazette the impact of the product has been “beyond our expectations”. Hoyland said the ratio of tips received to stories is now “profoundly different”. He said: “We’ve had so many stories come from this platform, lots of top …

Apple CEO Candidate John Ternus is ‘Well-Liked’ and Helped Reverse ‘Declining Product Quality’

Apple CEO Candidate John Ternus is ‘Well-Liked’ and Helped Reverse ‘Declining Product Quality’

Published by skeptic

In an in-depth article for Bloomberg Businessweek today, Mark Gurman profiled Apple’s hardware engineering chief John Ternus, who is widely viewed as the leading candidate to become Apple’s next CEO whenever Tim Cook decides to step down. The article is very long, so we recommend reading it in full, but a few of the key takeaways are that Ternus is apparently “well-liked among Apple’s leadership” and helped with “reversing a trend of declining product quality” at the company. “Since getting the top hardware engineering role in 2021, he’s overseen an expansion in Apple’s product lineup, improving quality and focusing on functional improvements around battery life, performance and connectivity,” wrote Gurman. Cook reportedly gave oversight of Apple’s design teams to Ternus at the end of last year, and Ternus has been making a lot more public appearances in interviews and in product introduction videos over the past few years. The profile provides a closer look at how Ternus has risen to become the frontrunner to succeed Cook eventually. Cook has not shared his retirement plans with …

Poor sleep quality, not duration, linked to slower daily brain function in older adults

Poor sleep quality, not duration, linked to slower daily brain function in older adults

Published by José Betancourt

An analysis of the Einstein Aging Study data showed that older adults who experience longer nighttime wakefulness tend to have slower processing speed, worse working memory, and worse visual memory binding. On an individual level, participants’ processing speed was slower after nights with greater-than-usual nighttime awakenings. The research was published in Sleep Health: Journal of the National Sleep Foundation. Sleep is essential for physical health, cognitive functioning, and emotional regulation. During sleep, the body repairs tissues, strengthens the immune system, and regulates hormones involved in appetite, stress, and growth. Adequate sleep supports memory consolidation and learning by helping the brain process and organize information. Poor or insufficient sleep is linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, depression, and impaired immune function. Sleep quality is determined by examining how well and how continuously a person sleeps. Key indicators of good sleep quality include short sleep onset latency (falling asleep easily), low wake after sleep onset (minimal time awake during the night), and high sleep efficiency (most time in bed spent asleep). Feeling rested and …

If A Woman Says These 11 Phrases Often, She’s Likely A Low-Quality Person

If A Woman Says These 11 Phrases Often, She’s Likely A Low-Quality Person

Published by Jenni Sidey

Sometimes you can learn a lot about someone just by listening to the phrases they repeat. Certain comments reveal a pattern of entitlement, resentment, or a lack of empathy for the people around them. While the idea of a “low-quality” person can mean different things to different people, if a woman repeats certain phrases over and over, it can paint a pretty clear picture of her attitude and how she treats others. From lacking empathy for others to adopting entitled behaviors that make other people feel disrespected, “low-quality” women clearly don’t care about anyone but themselves. Yes, self-confidence and independence are superpowers, especially for women, but when they manifest in narcissistic, toxic ways, they’re rarely helpful. If a woman says these 11 phrases often, she’s likely a low-quality person: 1. ‘I’m just brutally honest’ MDV Edwards | Shutterstock Instead of leaning into hard conversations and appreciating the beauty of expressing concerns openly and directly, low-quality women say things like “it’s just a joke” or “I’m a brutally honest person” to hide their cruelty. They’re passively …

This week, it was his fourth child, 22-year-old son Ryan, and the father-son duo revealed their matching personalities, as the pair rocked sunglasses and graphic tees, both pouting for the camera. “Quality Father Son time,” Marc captioned the post, which came after his first string of dates in Las Vegas for his first-ever residency.
