  3. Federal Reserve officials said Wednesday that inflation has fallen further toward their target level in recent months but signaled that they expect to cut their benchmark interest rate just once this year. The policymakers' forecast for one rate cut was down from a previous forecast of three, because inflation, despite having cooled in the past two months, remains persistently elevated. In a statement issued after its two-day meeting, the Fed said the economy is growing at a solid pace, while hiring has “remained strong.” The officials also noted that in recent months there has been “modest" further progress toward their 2 percent inflation target. That is a more positive assessment than after the Fed's previous meeting May 1, when the officials had noted a lack of progress. Still, the central bank made clear Wednesday that further improvement is needed. “We’ll need to see more good data to bolster our confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent,” Chair Jerome Powell said at a news conference after the Fed meeting ended. The policymakers, as expected, kept their key rate unchanged at roughly 5.3 percent. The benchmark rate has remained at that level since July of last year, after the Fed raised it 11 times to try to slow borrowing and spending and cool inflation. Fed rate cuts would, over time, lighten loan costs for consumers, who have faced punishingly high rates for mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and other forms of borrowing. The officials' rate-cut forecast reflects the individual estimates of 19 policymakers. The Fed said eight of the officials projected two rate cuts. Seven projected one cut. Four of the policymakers envisioned no cuts at all this year. “What everyone agrees on,” Powell said at his news conference, is that the Fed's timetable for rate cuts is "going to be data-dependent.”The Fed’s latest projections are by no means fixed in time. The policymakers frequently revise their plans for rate cuts — or hikes — depending on how economic growth and inflation evolve over time. On Wednesday morning, the government reported that inflation eased in May for a second straight month, a hopeful sign that an acceleration of prices that occurred early this year may have passed. Consumer prices excluding volatile food and energy costs — the closely watched “core” index — rose just 0.2 percent from April, the smallest rise since October. Measured from a year earlier, core prices climbed 3.4 percent, the mildest pace in three years. “We welcome today’s reading and hope for more like that," Powell said. Stock prices jumped and bond yields fell Wednesday morning after the government reported the milder-than-expected inflation data — and didn't budge much even after the Fed's policymakers projected fewer rate cuts for 2024 than the market had expected. Though inflation has tumbled from a peak of 9.1 percent two years ago, it remains too high for the Fed's liking. The policymakers now face the delicate task of keeping rates high enough to slow spending and defeat high inflation without derailing the economy. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/world/2024/06/501_376512.html
  4. King Charles has reportedly chosen to shrug off animal cruelty as there will be no action taken against yesterday’s attack on his first official portrait. According to GB News, he is said to be focusing solely on preparing for Trooping the Colour this week. Speaking to the channel on Wednesday, royal correspondent Cameron Walker confirmed the same thing about Your Majesty’s attention. He said, “Buckingham Palace has stated they will not comment on the matter, likely to prevent giving the group more publicity and encouraging further vandalism.” “I believe King Charles’ mind will be firmly on both Trooping the Colour on Saturday and the Order of the Garter on Monday,” the royal commentator added. On the other hand, Animal Rising had tried their best to grab Your Majesty’s thoughts when its group members used Wallace and Gromit to cover his portrait on June 11. The cartoon is rumored to be one of the Monarch’s favorite things to watch, and so there could be no better way for making him listen. King Charles is a key member of the RSPCA, which is funding animal cruelty on farms. Animal Rising has demanded that he takes a step to stop the organization from committing such crimes. But as per Cameron Walker, Your Majesty has chosen to side-eye this case. https://jang.com.pk/en/13907-king-charles-ignores-animal-cruelty-by-not-addressing-portrait-vandalism-news
  5. We’re in a golden era for hybrid cars. They’re the perfect step into our fully electric future because they work seamlessly with American infrastructure, making hybrids both efficient and convenient. The 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid makes the hybrid formula its own, producing a sleek, smooth-driving sedan that gets 49 miles per gallon combined and laughs in the face of inflation. It’s the perfect car for our time.The 2025 Civic is a refresh of the current-generation model, and it's available in both sedan and hatchback forms. The four sedan trims are priced as such (including the $1,095 destination fee): LX ($25,345); Sport ($27,345); Sport Hybrid ($29,845); and Sport Hybrid Touring ($32,845).The bottom two trims have a 150-horsepower gas motor, while the top two hybrids make 200 hp and 232 pound-feet of torque. The sedans go on sale in June 2024, and Honda says power figures are preliminary estimates.The top-trim Civics have a 2.0-liter, inline-four-cylinder engine paired with a two-motor hybrid, and the battery charges while the car drives—meaning the Civic doesn’t have as much electric power as a plug-in hybrid, but it also doesn't have to be plugged in. Honda says the hybrid will make 49 mpg combined, and that it’s also "the most powerful non-Type R Civic ever." The convenience of hybrids is their key strength. People who drive or own electric cars usually get past range anxiety—the fear of running out of juice because there's not a charger on every corner—quickly. But with hybrids, buyers can reap some of an EV's economy rewards without a hint of range anxiety. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/722965/2025-honda-civic-hybrid-first-drive-review/
  6. LONG ISLAND (NY): Naseem Shah has termed the close loss against India as an unforgettable experience, saying that tears coming out of their eyes following the match were owing to missing a really good opportunity to win that particular match. During mixed-zone media interaction, Naseem said that those tears and agony were obvious. “Yes, tears came out of my eyes just because we were offered a cake walk which we could not accept. We should have won the match against India as the target was not all that challenging. Yet we failed. I was so upset at losing the opportunity that I could not control my emotions,” Naseem said. The fast bowler also showed concerns over the overall standing of the team. “We have lost two matches. We should have won the both. We came so close to winning matches against the US and India and yet we came out losers. It is very upsetting indeed.” When questioned as to whether he could have won those matches with the bat, he said he was no one to decide on the batting lineup. “It is for the team management to decide when to send a batsman and to what batting number of bowlers should be.” On Pakistan’s chances in the World Cup, he said it now all depends on the luck. “We have to admit that nothing is in our hands right now. Everything now rests with the fate. If we are lucky enough, the lady luck would support us and the results from here on would come through to our liking. Let us see how things would unfold from here on.” https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/1199839-naseem-rues-missing-golden-opportunity-against-india
  7. Unless you are on a social media detox, we are pretty sure you have seen at least one video proclaiming a concoction to be the “ultimate fat-burning drink“. While the idea of such a wonder drink is appealing, do they work? We decided to find out the same after coming across a weight loss drink (a mix of turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, and ginger) shared by fitness trainer Nitesh Soni. Let’s understand the ingredients: “The curcumin present in turmeric may help regulate metabolism, while the cinnamon can help keep blood sugar stable. Further, the piperine found in black pepper can help curcumin absorb better, and ginger’s thermogenic characteristics may modestly increase metabolism,” said Kanikka Malhotra, consultant dietician and diabetes educator. However, it is critical to not oversimplify weight loss. “There is no single ‘fat-burning drink’ that can help shed pounds on its own. A nutritious diet, frequent exercise, and plenty of sleep are all necessary for long-term weight loss,” said Malhotra.Hydration: This drink promotes water consumption, which is essential for weight management. Antioxidant powerhouse: The contents are high in antioxidants, which can improve general health. Metabolism boost: Ginger and certain components of turmeric may provide a small metabolic boost.Oversimplification: This drink is unlikely to be a magic bullet for weight loss. Individual needs: Everyone’s body reacts differently. What works for one person may not work for another. Underlying medical conditions: Certain components may interact with drugs or exacerbate health issues. For example, turmeric can thin the blood, while ginger might irritate the stomach in certain people. https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/food-wine/spice-mix-cinnamon-ginger-turmeric-pepper-weight-loss-expert-weigh-benefits-nitesh-soni-9365028/
  8. (IMF) dominated the political discourse on Wednesday as the new Shehbaz Sharif-led govt presented its first federal budget, worth a projected 18.5 trillion rupees, in the National Assembly. Last month, IMF linked any future deal with Islamabad to the passage of the 2024-25 budget in parliament.Pakistan has been in talks with the IMF for a loan estimated to range from $6 billion to $8 billion as it seeks to avert a default in the face of its economy growing the slowest among all countries of the region. Islamabad entered into a $6.5 billion three-year agreement with IMF in 2019. It received a final $3 billion under a standby arrangement last year, just before the agreement was to expire. The finance ministry and IMF were reportedly locked in last-minute talks as the global lender presented some more tough conditions last week to include in the budget. A ministry official said the IMF's key demands include a higher tax revenue target, withdrawal of subsidies, taxes on the agriculture sector, increased taxes and levies on the power, gas, and oil sectors, privatisation of sick govt organisations and units, and improved administration. Despite Pakistan's aggressive pursuit of economic diplomacy to improve trade and investment ties with other nations, finance minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, who presented the budget in parliament, explicitly said there were no alternatives to IMF under the current circumstances. "As you all know, I have been in this role for about three to three and a half months," he said at a presser. "But even when I was in the private sector, I was very loud and clear that we should go into the IMF programme because there is no plan B. If there were a plan B, the IMF would not be called the lender of last resort. There's a reason for that." Even with depleted foreign reserves and an economic crisis, the govt allocated 2,100 billion rupees to defence in the federal budget, a 19% increase over the previous year. IMF hasn't demanded cuts in defence spending so far. A day earlier, the govt unveiled the Pakistan Economic Survey 2023-24, which showed that the economy failed to meet most of its targets set in the previous budget. The finance minister also addressed IMF's insistence on ending tax exemptions for a fresh loan. "There are no sacred cows. Everyone has to contribute to this economy. The country can only be run with taxes. This is a basic principle," he said. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/pakistan/imf-bailout-terms-hang-heavy-over-new-shehbaz-govts-first-federal-budget/articleshow/110948326.cms
  9. We aren't getting a BRZ STI, stop asking. Subaru instead will happily sell you a BRZ with some STI trimmings, like bigger brakes, a better suspension, and upgraded visual cues. The BRZ tS—or, Tuned by STI—isn't the hardcore model we've been begging for for more than 10 years now, but it still does the job well enough. Under the hood is the same 2.4-liter naturally aspirated boxer engine found in every BRZ, sending 224 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. No automatic here.Does the tS deserve more power? Of course. Even a titch of extra low-end torque would make the BRZ feel less lethargic at low rpms. Slap a turbo on there, Subaru. But the boxer engine is still a riot to rip up to its 7,000 rpm peak before slamming into second, and it's decently speedy once you get it going. It just takes a minute.But straight-line speed comes second to superb handling. For any of you maniacs who thought the standard BRZ was too soft, the tS has stiffer Hitachi dampers for added composure. The front dampers are variable to help keep the front of the car softer (marginally), while the fixed dampers in the rear ride roughshod over bumps and undulations. It's all part of the charm.The tS is magical in corners. The ride is stiff, sure, but it keeps body roll to a faint whisper and gives the car unparalleled predictability. The chassis is balanced, and the extra grip from the standard Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer tires is more than you'll know what to do with. The steering is top tier too, matched only by the Mazda Miata at this price in overall response, feel, and feedback. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/721584/subaru-brz-ts-review/
  10. Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah had won the hearts of millions of fans during the high-octane clash against India in the 19th match of the T20 World Cup at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York on Sunday. Shah had proved his mettle in the breathtaking clash against the Rohit Sharma-led time, during which the 21-year-old took three wickets and compiled an unbeaten 4-ball 10, hitting two fours. As Shah and his teammates could not manage to sweep past India, the former burst into tears, but he was comforted by Shaheen Shah Afridi. In one of the photos, Rohit Sharma also extended warmly gesture to Shah.Yesterday’s high-stakes clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, held in New York, ended in disappointment for the Pakistani side. The team’s performance was marred by a string of failures from key players. Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir, both of whom enjoyed substantial backing from the cricket board, fell short of expectations.Iftikhar Ahmed, touted as the team’s finisher, failed to deliver, while the once-reliable opening duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan also struggled. In a match that will be remembered for Pakistan’s lackluster display, Naseem Shah emerged as the sole beacon of hope. The young fast bowler not only delivered an exceptional spell but also made a significant impact with the bat, fighting valiantly till the end. His efforts, however, were not enough to stave off another humiliating defeat on the international stage, leaving Naseem in tears. The Indian players, recognizing Naseem’s commendable performance, extended their appreciation, a gesture that did not go unnoticed by the cricketing fraternity. Social media platforms were abuzz with messages of support for Naseem, acknowledging his dedication and resilience amidst the team’s broader struggles. Cricket fans, though disheartened by the overall performance of the team, rallied behind Naseem Shah. The young pacer’s determination and fighting spirit have made him a standout figure in an otherwise disappointing campaign for Pakistan. https://www.samaa.tv/2087316246-naseem-shah-claims-fans-support-despite-indian-heartbreak
  11. How much would you be willing to pay for a perfect movie star smile? For some, trying to achieve dazzlingly white, uniformly straight teeth without a Hollywood budget comes at a cost to their health as well as their wallet. The UK social media trend for “Turkey teeth” – named after influencers’ penchant for travelling abroad for budget veneers – may offer a cheaper alternative to more expensive cosmetic dentistry at reputable clinics – but it can come at the cost of oral health and may even prove life threatening. But the health risks don’t always outweigh the prospect of a gleaming grin. Naturally, teeth should be an off-white colour because yellow-coloured dentin (the middle layer of the tooth – between the enamel and the pulp – that makes up the majority of the tooth’s structure) shows through the thin, tough, white enamel outer layer of the tooth.But the natural colour of healthy teeth is currently unfashionable and there’s a heavy demand for sparkly white veneers. While there are many people who are delighted with their new gnashers, there seem to be equally as many horror stories. Festive offer From being left in “constant pain” to developing “rotting gums”, fixing problems caused by cut price cosmetic dentistry can end up costing much more than it would have cost to get the procedures done properly in the first place. This is something Ramazan Yilmaz discovered when his tooth implants at a private clinic in Bursa, Turkey, went disastrously wrong. https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/life-style/veneers-implants-cosmetic-dentistry-9383355/
  12. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday thanked the Sharif brothers for their congratulatory messages on him becoming the premier for a third time. Modi was sworn in on Sunday at a ceremony attended by leaders from Bangladesh, the Maldives and Sri Lanka. However, China and Pakistan were not present. Earlier today, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif offered a brief congratulations to his counterpart on his re-election, almost a week after the results came in. “Felicitations to Narendra Modi on taking oath as the prime minister of India,” he posted on X, in the first official comments from Pakistan. Former PM and PML-N President Nawaz Sharif also congratulated the Indian premier. “Your party’s success in recent elections reflects the confidence of the people in your leadership,” Nawaz said in a post on X. “Let us replace hate with hope and seize the opportunity to shape the destiny of the two billion people of South Asia,” he added. Hours later, PM Modi responded to the two, thanking PM Shehbaz for his “good wishes”. To Nawaz, he said: “Appreciate your message Nawaz Sharif. The people of India have always stood for peace, security and progressive ideas. Advancing the well-being and security of our people shall always remain our priority.” Nawaz had attended the ceremony when Modi became the prime minister for the first time in 2014, a complete rarity in the history of the nuclear-armed nations. But the neighbours currently have minimal relations and ties have worsened during a decade under Modi, who has ramped up his Hindu nationalist agenda. Pakistan suspended bilateral trade and downgraded diplomatic ties with New Delhi in 2019, after Modi revoked the limited autonomy of Indian-held Kashmir in a move widely celebrated across India. PM Shehbaz has previously hinted at wanting to improve ties with India. But analysts say Pakistan, a sixth of the size of India, has few levers to pull. Modi’s “election campaign pivoted around anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan rhetoric”, Zahid Hussain, an opinion writer and author, said in a Dawn op-ed last week. “Modi’s campaign narrative made it absolutely clear that under his dispensation, the Muslims will be politically disempowered, economically marginalised, and deprived of their constitutional rights,” he said following the vote. https://www.dawn.com/news/1839040/pm-modi-responds-in-kind-to-sharif-brothers-felicitations-on-indian-election-success

  17. May’s surprising pace of job growth and wage rise added to the conviction that the Federal Reserve will stay on hold through this summer and possibly beyond. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday that nonfarm payrolls increased by 272,000 for the month, considerably higher than the Wall Street consensus of 190,000 and well above April’s comparatively muted gain of 165,000. In addition, average hourly earnings rose 4.1% over the past 12 months, more than expected. Beyond signaling a still-vibrant labor market, the data at the very least adds to the narrative that the Fed doesn’t have to rush to lower interest rates. As inflation runs above the central bank’s 2% target, there’s scant evidence that higher rates are endangering broad metrics of economic growth. “I’ve been a little flummoxed at the parlor game of when will the Fed start cutting,” said Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab. “I’ve been more in the camp that neither of the components of the Fed’s dual mandate are pointing to the need to start cutting, and higher-for-longer means nothing could happen this year.” The Fed’s “dual mandate” entails maintaining both full employment and stable prices. Even with the unemployment rate rising to 4% in May, the labor market appears vibrant. However, on the other side of the mandate, inflation is still running well above the Fed’s target. Most gauges have prices rising annually at about a 3% rate, down significantly from the peaks of mid-2022 but still running hot. Lowering expectations Following the jobs numbers, futures traders cut bets on rate cuts. Pricing in fed funds futures pointed to almost no chance of a reduction at either the Federal Open Market Committee’s meeting next week or on July 30-31. From there, pricing indicates about a 50-50 chance of a September move, and only about a 46% probability that the Fed will follow up with a second cut before the end of the year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch measure Friday afternoon. All of those probabilities were down sharply from Thursday levels. Investors, though, shouldn’t get too pessimistic, according to Rick Rieder, chief investment officer of global fixed income for money management giant BlackRock. He pointed to softness in demand for workers as shown by a report earlier this week indicating that job openings are continuing to decelerate. Moreover, the household survey, which is used to calculate the unemployment rate, showed a decrease in employment of 408,000 and a continuing trend of part-time employment far outpacing full-time positions. “And thus, the Federal Reserve’s mandate of price stability and full employment comes very much into balance,” Rieder wrote in a post-report analysis. “With these conditions, the Fed can lower the Fed Funds rate from very restrictive territory to merely restrictive positioning.” “We believe the Committee can still start cutting the policy rate by 25 basis points at its September meeting, with a desire to get one more cut done this year, but inflation readings from here need to be supportive of this,” he added. Similarly, Citigroup, long above consensus on Wall Street as the firm continued to expect aggressive rate cuts, said it now sees the Fed not moving until September but then continuing to cut rates from that point. “The jobs report does not change our view that hiring demand, and the broader economy, is slowing and that this will ultimately provoke the Fed to react with a series of cuts beginning in the next few months,” Citigroup economist Andrew Hollenhorst wrote. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/07/market-backs-off-on-hopes-for-interest-rate-cuts-following-strong-jobs-report.html
  18. After months of planning and fundraising, nearly 300 dogs and cats made it from from Kabul, Afghanistan, to just outside of Washington, D.C. But for many of these animals, getting to the nation's capital was just part of the journey. Early in the morning on June 3, a charter flight with 194 dogs and 100 cats arrived safely at Dulles International Airport after a 7,000-mile journey from Kabul to Katowice, Poland, to Washington, D.C. All the dogs and cats came from the Kabul Small Animal Rescue, which was founded by Charlotte Maxwell Jones in 2018. The operation was small initially, but the size of KSAR ballooned after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. After arriving in the U.S., the dogs and cats were unloaded from heavy wooden crates, given health checks, and then they waited for the next leg of their journey. Maxwell Jones said, "This is like the most stressful three days of their lives, but they're being well cared for." She said Pender Pet Retreat is the only government-affiliated facility in the country that has the capacity to help get nearly 300 animals successfully imported at one time. All the dogs and cats had to be inspected by the CDC before being released. Beyond organizing, planning and fundraising for the charter flight, Maxwell Jones lined up a network of 40 different rescues from around the country to help these dogs and cats find their forever homes. But that also meant coordinating travel to foster homes and rescues.Over the course of a few days, a steady stream of cars, vans and SUVs pulled into the parking lot to help transport dogs or cats to Maine, New York, North Carolina, Illinois, Texas, Minnesota and more. A few of the animals had to take another flight to get to West Coast rescue groups in California and Oregon. A number of rescue groups in the Washington, D.C., area also stepped up to take some of the animals. Lucky Dog Animal Rescue in Arlington, Virginia, picked up three dogs, and one of them, 8-month-old Adele, already had an adopter lined up before the dogs arrived. Jada Ryan waited over a month to meet her new puppy, and she's so excited to get to know her new fur baby over the next few weeks. Ryan said she was drawn to Adele's story, and the moment they met she said everything felt right. From shelter staff and crate builders in Kabul to volunteers, rescue workers and donors around the world, Maxwell Jones estimates 10,000-15,000 people played a role in making this airlift a success. Once this mission is complete and all the animals have been handed off, Maxwell Jones is heading straight back to Kabul, where the rescue still has over 200 animals to care for. She recognizes the needs of animals here in the U.S., but she hopes any attention to the KSAR rescue flight brings positive attention to other shelters in the U.S. https://www.scrippsnews.com/science-and-tech/animals-and-insects/hundreds-of-rescue-animals-arrive-in-dc-from-afghanistan

The bigger brake rotors measure 12.8 inches up front and 12.4 inches in the rear—up 1.2 and 1.0 inches over the base model. They do a better job of bringing the BRZ back down to speed without feeling overly grabby. And the brake calipers are painted gold, a subtle nod to the wheels and accents on previous STI models.The BRZ tS is a driver's car through and through. But it's not terrible as a daily, either. The ride is stiff and it is loud as hell at highway speeds, sure, but Subaru Technica International added some nicer elements to the interior to make it more livable. Extra suede accents dot the dash and door panels, blue accents line the seats, and there are STI logos aplenty (what a tease). It feels like a slight upgrade over the nicest BRZ Limited. The sport bucket seats are hella comfy and have enough bolstering for track days as well as excellent back and butt support. They do a good job of combating the rough ride. The manual adjustments make it hard to find a perfect seating position—not unexpected for a car trying to keep things light—but they are at least heated, which is nice. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/721584/subaru-brz-ts-review/
  20. Left-arm seamer Saurabh Netravalkar, who bowled the winning over, has worked as an engineer for the past six years - according to his LinkedIn profile - alongside playing for the US national team since 2019.Pakistan were "not up to the mark" in their shock T20 World Cup defeat to the USA, with captain Babar Azam adding that his team were guilty of underestimating their opponents. Tournament co-hosts the USA delivered an historic upset with their Super-Over win over 2022 finalists Pakistan on Thursday after both sides finished the match tied on 159."Whenever you come into any tournament, you always do the best preparation," Babar told reporters after his side's defeat. "But you can say it's a kind of mindset, when you come up against a team like this, you relax a little. You take things a little lightly."I believe that we are not up to the mark in executing.
