The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in the National Capital Region and adjoining areas issued orders directing motor vehicle aggregators, delivery service providers, and ecommerce entities to stop inducting petrol and diesel-run vehicles into their existing fleet, with effect from January 1, 2026. These guidelines, which were part of the statutory directions, aim to curb air pollution in these regions. The transport sector contributes significantly to the air pollution load in the NCR region, with commercial vehicles taking the lead often due to extensive plying, overflowing, and poor maintenance. According to the orders issued, only CNG or electric three-wheeler…

Jason Isaacs & Emma HewittWhile Jason Isaacs’ character Timothy Ratliff is married to Parker Posey’s Victoria Ratliff on The White Lotus, his wife IRL is Emma Hewitt. “Without her,” he wrote in 2020’s The Big Issue, “there is no me that I recognize or would want to know.” Jason met the former documentary filmmaker at the University of London’s Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in the ’80s. At this point, he was battling what he called a “decades-long love affair with drugs,” which ended in 1998 when he became sober. “When I got clean, I remember my wife…

Mikey Madison has set one of her first roles since winning the Oscar for her performance in Neon’s Anora. Madison is in talks to star in The Masque of the Red Death, a re-imagining of the creepy Edgar Allan Poe story from filmmaker Charlie Polinger. It hails from A24, which will distribute worldwide, and Picturestart, which is producing. Madison has developed a reputation of being very particular in choosing her roles, and despite numerous outreaches, has not engaged in much since her comet-like ascendance after Anora premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024. (There are two exceptions. She…

Promising review: “This holds its own (and in many cases even exceeds) my vast collection of Givenchy, Armani, Guerlain, EL, YSL, and Lancôme lipsticks. I got the shade ‘Effortless,’ which seemed like the only shade that would work for a cool-toned complexion. And it is supreme: a gorgeous blue-based medium pinky-mauve, so nourishing and moisturizing, with excellent weartime. There is transfer, but it blots down beautifully. No taste, no scent. The case is a nice matte black with that magnetic snap-on cap. I am blown away that a $9 drugstore lippie can be this great AND cruelty-free!! Please make more…

“My mother always wanted me to be a doctor,” Barry Manilow quipped on stage Tuesday (June 3) night at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena. “She would be so proud!” Manilow indeed became a doctor during his Detroit tour stop, when six cap-and-gowned faculty members from Chicago’s VanderCook College of Music (the only U.S. school that specializes in teaching music educators) presented him with an honorary Doctor of Music Education honoris causa. The honorary degree, according to VanderCook President Kimberly Farris, recognized “your enduring dedication to music education,” which, she added, “resonates deeply with our mission.” The degree specifically saluted the Manilow…

Sadly, nothing is going to fix Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson’s romance.  Indeed, the couple has called it quits eight years after they first began dating in 2017, and confirmed their engagement last March, multiple sources told People.  E! News has reached out to reps for Chris and Dakota but has not yet heard back.  The Coldplay frontman—who shares Apple Martin, 21, and Moses Martin, 19, with ex Gwyneth Paltrow—and the Fifty Shades of Grey star were first linked in October 2017 when they were photographed grabbing a bite at the celebrity hot spot Sushi Park in Los Angeles.  Chris…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Let me drop a little truth bomb: Your personal brand matters.Before you speak. Before you shake a hand. Before you even sit down. People are deciding what you represent. Wondering if you’re worth remembering. Some say never judge a book by its cover. True, but your cover should still reflect the story inside.That’s personal branding. If you’re not being intentional, you’re being forgettable.Related: Creating a Brand: How To Build a Brand From ScratchWhat branding really meansEarly in my career, I thought branding meant logos and clever slogans.

Dustin Lance Black and Sean Penn, who won Academy Awards for writing and starring in the 2008 Harvey Milk biopic Milk, are speaking out on orders from U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to remove the name of the gay rights activist and late San Francisco Supervisor from a Navy ship. “This is yet another move to distract and to fuel the culture wars that create division,” Black, 50, says in a phone call with The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s meant to get us to react in ways that are self-centered so that we are further distanced from our brothers and sisters…

The Internet Can’t Believe What The Word “Snafu” Actually Stands For Every now and then, Merriam-Webster, the dictionary, drops a little piece of wisdom. They taught me that a group of crows is called a “murder.” They made me go “oh, really” when they revealed the origin of the word “ballot.” And they were the first to stop the disinformation campaign against the word “news.” And now we’re learning something about the word “snafu.” The dictionary revealed in a viral tweet, “A ‘snafu’ is a situation marked by errors or confusion. ‘Snafu’ comes from WW2 and is an acronym for…
