Xiaomi, a well-known maker of smart consumer electronics in China, is joining the country’s booming but crowded market for electric cars with a sporty high-tech sedan.

Not any longer. Now calling a child or youngster “chubby” can be demeaning to them, for even an eight-year-old knows all about body-shaming and the importance of having to look slim in order to be anybody’s favourite now. There is a hint of slander hiding in every word, and now more than ever before, even we, as parents, need to be mindful about…

A jury found Bankman-Fried, 32, guilty on Nov. 2 on seven fraud and conspiracy counts stemming from FTX’s 2022 collapse in what prosecutors have called one of…

Why is everyone so anxious? According to stress and anxiety specialist Dr Geraldine Naidoo, it’s because life in 2024 is distressing for everyone. “Even if you feel like you’ve found balance within yourself, the world itself can feel destabilised, making it hard to stay grounded.

Add to this, the stress inherited from the generations that came before us, which are indelibly imprinted into our genetic makeup, and it’s no wonder people are more anxious and stressed than ever: we live in a…
