  1. This truck did get a few updates for 2024, though. The seven-slot grille is slightly sleeker, the headlights are a touch cleaner-looking, and Jeep smartly removed the old-school antenna for a windshield-embedded unit instead. The truck looks better in general, but mostly the same; You only spot the subtle updates when this Gladiator parks next to the previous one. This truck did get a few updates for 2024, though. The seven-slot grille is slightly sleeker, the headlights are a touch cleaner-looking, and Jeep smartly removed the old-school antenna for a windshield-embedded unit instead. The truck looks better in general, but mostly the same; You only spot the subtle updates when this Gladiator parks next to the previous one. The V-6 is kinda punchy off the line. It has just enough thrust to launch the Gladiator from a stoplight with decent enthusiasm. Torque doesn't peak until 4,400 rpm and it still takes more than 8 seconds for the Gladiator Mojave to reach 60 miles per hour, but most buyers will be happy with the amount of torque. Only on the highway does the V-6 start to feel wheezy. The Mojave model weighs 4,982 pounds and the lack of forced induction means the naturally aspirated V-6 struggles to keep up with the truck's heft at higher speeds. You really have to bury your foot to pass. The Mojave model has a uniquely tuned suspension that makes it the only "Desert Rated" Gladiator on sale. That means—like some of the other desert-running trucks—this one is made for traveling fast over sand and rock. In theory. It starts with thicker 2.5-inch Fox remote reservoir internal bypass shocks. These shocks are tuned to handle high-speed off-roading and come with a hydraulic bump stock up front for better rebound control over the exceptionally tough stuff. The front end also sits 1.0-inch taller than the rear and the springs are tuned softer out back. The entire setup rides on 33-inch Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires. Here's the good: The Mojave absolutely glides over dirt roads. Even at speed, this truck floats smoothly over sticks and stones with barely a hit to the ride quality. And with a shorter 2.72:1 low-range ratio than the Rubicon, the Mojave actually has a higher top-speed in low range. It can hit 50 miles per hour… in theory. That's the bad news: The solid front axle still feels 10 years behind the competition. Most modern desert runners, like the Colorado ZR2 and Ranger Raptor, have independent front axles with fancy coilovers and are far more composed at speed. The Gladiator Mojave is still too sketchy for high-speed stuff, especially with the vague steering feel; there’s a ton of wiggle on center. And unlike the Gladiator Rubicon model, the Mojave doesn't have a disconnecting stabilizer bar. Not that this Gladiator was designed for rock-crawling anyway. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/722737/2024-jeep-gladiator-mojave-review/
  2. Former Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin Campbell has died at the age of 54 after a short illness. Campbell scored 148 goals in 542 appearances across spells with eight clubs during his career. He won four major trophies with Arsenal and also played for Leyton Orient, Leicester, Nottingham Forest, Trabzonspor, Everton, West Brom and Cardiff. Campbell made his final appearance as a player in February 2007 before moving into broadcasting. Everton said earlier this month he became ill in May and was "very unwell" in hospital. "We are devastated to learn that our former striker Kevin Campbell has died after a short illness," said Arsenal. "Kevin was adored by everyone at the club. All of us are thinking of his friends and family at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Kevin." Everton said: "Everyone at Everton is deeply saddened by the death of our former striker Kevin Campbell at the age of just 54. "Not just a true Goodison Park hero and icon of the English game, but an incredible person as well - as anyone who ever met him will know. RIP, Super Kev." After coming through Arsenal's youth set-up, Campbell made his senior debut for the club in 1988, also having loan spells with Leyton Orient and Leicester. He scored nine goals in 22 appearances for the Gunners during their title-winning 1990-91 campaign. Campbell then helped the London club win the FA Cup and League Cup double in 1993, and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1994. Forest signed Campbell in the summer of 1995, and he spent three seasons at the City Ground, scoring 22 goals in 39 games during his final term to help the club win promotion to the Premier League. Following a short stint in Turkey with Trabzonspor, Campbell moved to Everton on loan in March 1999, scoring nine times in their final eight Premier League games to help the Toffees avoid relegation. He was rewarded with a permanent deal that summer, and stayed for more than five seasons. Campbell's playing career came to an end with spells at West Brom and Cardiff. After his death was announced, Campbell's former Arsenal team-mate Ian Wright posted a number of crying emojis on X and images of the pair together https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cqvvyypg33zo

  4. King Charles III was in his element this week as he celebrated a very special moment for his foundation at St. James’s Palace in London. On Tuesday, the 75-year-old monarch attended the inaugural awards of his King’s Foundation, so we thought, why not take our Royal News readers along with us? Now, to rewind for just a moment – King Charles set up the charity back in 1990 when he was still the Prince of Wales. His vision was to help revitalize communities while creating a balance between people and the planet. More than 30 years on, the King’s ethos continues to drive the organization’s projects, whether it’s through its education courses focusing on arts, architecture, traditional crafts or rural skills, its health and wellbeing programs, or its regeneration work. King’s Foundation chief executive Kristina Murrin told CNN that the charity is underpinned by the monarch’s philosophy of working in concert with nature to “build sustainable thriving communities.” “The way we do that is we take our inspiration from nature and from tradition to try and work out what are the best ways we can work with nature, not against her.” Murrin said the foundation has six historic sites in the United Kingdom – including Dumfries House and Highgrove Gardens – which together attracted nearly 300,000 visitors in the past 12 months, as well as more than a dozen sites internationally. Meanwhile, its education, skills and training programs benefited more than 15,000 students last year. This week’s glittering event – set to become an annual fixture in the charity’s calendar – saw rock royalty Rod Stewart and his wife, Penny Lancaster, footballing legend David Beckham, actress Sienna Miller, fashion editor Edward Enninful, supermodel Naomi Campbell and chef Raymond Blanc hand out awards. Organizers are eager to offer a platform to recognize students, teachers, alumni and partners for their contributions to the organization’s efforts across a range of sectors. “We’re really excited about the awards. The charity has been going (for) nearly 35 years and it just felt the right moment to finally celebrate the work we’ve been doing,” Murrin said. “We have amazing students and teachers – many of whom have gone (on) to start incredible businesses – and so it just felt it was about time we got around to celebrating some of those people.” Nine awards were given out, with Charles presenting the final accolade, the King Charles III Harmony Award, to South Korean diplomat and former secretary-general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon. In a short speech, the King said the award was “created to recognize the individuals who champion the values which underpin the King’s Foundation’s mission, and my own hope, for a world in which we live in harmony with nature.” He then paid tribute to the former UN chief for his “tireless dedication to promoting these ideals on the global stage.” Some 250 guests attended the event at St. James’s Palace. Pipers from the National Piping Centre and the Rock Choir played as nominees and their families made their way up the Grand Staircase to the lavish State Apartment for the reception. Undated handout photo issued by The King's Foundation of King Charles III pictured with David Beckham, who is today announced as a new ambassador for the King's charity The King's Foundation, at Highgrove. The King's Foundation offers education programmes in traditional skills such as woodworking and embroidery at specialist workshops on site at Highgrove. Issue date: Saturday July 1, 2024. RELATED ARTICLE David Beckham bonds with King Charles over beekeeping as he is named charity ambassador The awards also featured live demonstrations of some of the foundation’s educational programs, including furniture-making, woodworking and embroidery. Charles was beaming as he made his way around the reception, keen to hear about how students have been supported in learning and entrepreneurship across traditional arts, textiles, rural skills, and health and wellbeing. British gardener and broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh spoke of his joy at being involved in the foundation for several decades, saying “the fact that it works” continues to draw him in. He said he wants to be involved in the King’s Foundation because of “the fact that it encourages practical skills – crafts, arts – that it catches people that might otherwise fall through the net and that it really makes a difference.” “It makes a difference to our landscape, to the crafts and skills that are available, making sure they don’t disappear, but also to individuals. It turns people around, people who are not necessarily academic but people who have really valuable skills,” he added. Among the winners was Isabelle Pennington-Edmead, 27, who received the Young Entrepreneur Award from actress Sienna Miller. After graduating from the King’s Foundation’s The Modern Artisan program, she has gone on to set up her own eponymous label centered on a sustainable and ethical approach. Her collection – which is inspired by her mixed Caribbean Kittitian and English heritage – is made to order, cutting out unwanted stock. She will be expanding onto an online retailer this summer while scaling up her business sustainably. <p>Activists from an animal rights group have vandalized the first official portrait of King Charles, which is currently on display in a London gallery. CNN's Max Foster has the details.</p> VIDEO RELATED VIDEO Portrait of King Charles vandalized by activists She told CNN that setting up her business “was something I’d always wanted to do and when I left the King’s Foundation, I felt that I had the tools to be able to do it.” In the Throne Room, Charles had the chance to catch up with Beckham, who was recently announced as a new ambassador for the foundation and who mentioned at the event that he had cuts on his hands from planting roses over the weekend. The pair appeared delighted to see each other again, discussing the England men’s soccer team’s prospects ahead of the Euro 2024 tournament, which kicks off today in Germany. Beckham assured the King “we’ll be ready” after a recent loss to Iceland in a friendly. Charles may have only recently returned to public duties and is continuing his cancer treatment, but that doesn’t mean he’s slowed down. Murrin told CNN that King’s Foundation staff had wondered how much time Charles would have to devote himself to the charity after his accession to the throne “but he stays very involved, very committed.” “His Majesty is very involved and we’re incredibly lucky to have him as our Royal Founding President. He was bringing attention to some of these themes around the climate, the planet, and our sustainability decades ago. It’s a real honor to do his work.” She added: “He loves seeing the projects that we’re making out in the world – both here and across the globe.” https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/14/uk/king-charles-foundation-awards-intl-scli-gbr/index.html

  12. The Baader-Meinhof effect is experienced when someone learns about something new, then begins seeing that new thing everywhere. The term is named for a German terrorist group from the 1970s. According to Psychology Today, a guy named Terry Mullen learned about the Baader-Meinhof group one day, and saw its name pop up again the next day, having gone his whole life unaware of the militant ultra-left organization. He wrote about the phenomenon in a letter to his local newspaper, and the Baader-Meinhof effect was named. Something similar happens whenever I drive a Subaru—I start seeing them everywhere. They are, of course, always everywhere. But unless you’re looking for them, they simply blend into the background. In my tony Brooklyn neighborhood, filled with outdoorsy types who love to escape the city on weekends, Subarus blend into the scenery, filling the cracks between those old brownstones and their cast-iron fences. I’ll count at least four Subarus street-parked on any given block, and a lot of them are Foresters. Subaru seems to understand my neighbors—its customers—well. For 2025, the Subaru Forester is new, though not quite all-new. The bones are the same as the before, albeit updated for added refinement and with new bodywork overtop. The engine is a carryover from the previous two generations of Forester, a 2.5-liter flat-four now making 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with a continuously variable transmission and Subaru’s signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Inside, there’s a thorough reworking, though the new Forester’s cabin feels basically identical to all other Subaru models. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/721753/2025-subaru-forester-review/
  13. Chelsea will turn down any loan moves for Romelu Lukaku this summer in a bid to sell the Belgium striker in a permanent deal. They are looking to recoup some of £97.5m they paid Inter Milan for him in 2021, with their asking price believed to be about £37m as the club aims to get the 31-year-old's £325,000-a-week wages off their books. Roma are interested in re-signing Lukaku, who spent last season on loan at the Serie A club, but are unable to meet the asking price. AC Milan and Napoli, who have just appointed Lukaku’s former manager Antonio Conte, are also reportedly interested. But the Italian clubs have limited finances and will have to see whether Chelsea soften their stance later in the transfer window. Napoli were also tipped to propose a swap deal for striker Victor Osimhen but Chelsea are not interested in signing the Nigerian, who is valued in excess of £100m. Chelsea accepted a bid for Lukaku from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal last summer but the forward rejected the move. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cw88d24zvg3o
  14. Bickering about toys. Battles over who goes first. Tiffs, tats, tattling, too: It’s not very fun to listen to kids in conflict. Understandably, if you’re like many of us, you move to extinguish the conflict as quickly as possible—with a raised voice, a swift removal of the problem toy, and a perhaps a demand that, You kids need to learn to get along! But learning how to get along actually needs to be taught to young children, and therein lies the silver lining of sibling squabbles. Arguments give moms and dads a fantastic opportunity to teach children about resolving problems with positivity, calm, and kindness. That’s an interpersonal skill worth taking the time to teach. After all, conflict resolution will help your children live more peaceably at home with their siblings, their friends, and their future coworkers. In other words, our goal as parents shouldn’t be to get rid of conflict entirely, but to help our children successfully work through it. So next time little tempers flare, try a new approach. It takes a little longer, but stick with it and you’ll find that what you’re laying down for your children is a road that leads to healthier relationships, and, yes, even peace. Take a look. 1. Bring some peace to the situation. You cannot solve a conflict with the same energy that created it—so enter the room calmly and silently. Literally don't say a word. Physically get down to the children’s level, preferably between them. Gently touch each child and make eye contact. This approach has the effect of removing power from the conflict and cooling the room. 2. Remove the source of the struggle—calmly. If the children are fighting over a toy, don’t grab it from them. When they have quieted, put your hand out and say, Toy, please. Be patient. If they don't give you the toy, ask for it again. If they still don't, say, You can put the toy in my hand, or I can help you. (Which means that yes, you will take it if need be.) 3. Empathize with the most emotional child first—but acknowledge both. Use the language of understanding to acknowledge the big feelings in the room. Wow, it looks like you were really upset that you couldn’t play with that toy. While talking, continue to touch each child gently and look at them both. Remember, your job is not to get to the bottom of the argument: You are not the judge or jury, and you weren't there. Your job is to help them learn how to move through big feelings and conflict with positivity and calm. 4. Let them express what they wanted. Help facilitate a positive dialogue between them, by helping them take turns talking and listening. Help each of them explain what he or she wants or needs without expressing blame or devolving into what was or wasn’t fair about the situation. 5. Ask them how they could work it out so they are both happy. Lead a mini-brainstorming session, and to all of their suggestions try using phrases like, That's an idea! Do not offer suggestions unless they get really stuck. Avoid judging someone's idea being better than another; instead, you can respond with phrases like, I can see that solution would work for you, but do you think that would make your sister happy? 6. Help them choose a final solution. Make sure they are both happy with the outcome. 7. Acknowledge both children specifically for the skills they demonstrated for solving their problem. Find the good. You were patient. You were creative. You stuck up for your needs. Phrases like these help them identify positive skills to resolve future conflicts. I’m sure you are saying to yourself, “I don't have time to do this every time my children are fighting!" Don't worry! You don't have to. If you take the time to do these steps just a couple of times a week, eventually they’ll get the hang of it and do it on their own. https://www.kindercare.com/content-hub/articles/2017/april/kids-always-in-battle-mode-heres-how-to-peacefully-restore-the-peace
  15. Slovenia has become the latest European country to formally recognize Palestinian statehood, after the country’s parliament approved the move with a majority vote on Tuesday. The decision follows those of Spain, Ireland and Norway, who formally recognized Palestinian statehood in late May. The growing momentum in Europe is likely to bolster the global Palestinian cause, but could further strain relations with Israel. Most of the world already recognizes Palestinian statehood. More than 140 out of 193 member states of the United Nations have made their recognition official. But only some nations in the 27-member European Union are among them. The vote passed with 52 votes in favor and zero against, Slovenia’s national broadcaster RTV Slovenija reported. The vote passed during an extraordinary parliament session after numerous procedural hurdles, according to the outlet. The decision follows Spain, Ireland and Norway, which formally recognized Palestinian statehood in May. They have joined more than 140 countries that have recognized a Palestinian state since 1988. None of the G7 countries — United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Italy or Japan — do. “Today is a historic day! The National Assembly of Slovenia has officially recognized Palestine, making Slovenia the 147th country to do so,” Slovenia’s Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon said in a series of posts on social media. “This recognition is an expression of our commitment to peace and justice. Slovenia is on the right side of history, contributing to the two-state solution for lasting peace,” Fajon said. Israel launched its military offensive in Gaza on October 7 after the militant group Hamas, which governs Gaza, killed at least 1,200 people and abducted more than 250 others. Israeli attacks in Gaza have since killed at least 36,550 Palestinians and injured another 82,959 people, according to the Ministry of Health there. CNN cannot independently confirm the figures. Audience members hold Palestinian flags in the crowd during the final dress rehearsal before the 68th edition Eurovision Song Contest final at Malmo Arena, in Malmo, Sweden May 11, 2024. RELATED ARTICLE Spain, Ireland and Norway have recognized Palestinian statehood. Where does Europe stand on the issue? Amid the rising toll, Israel has come under increasingly fierce criticism. Earlier this month, a panel of independent UN experts condemned “the continued and systematic onslaught of violence committed against Palestinians in Gaza.” The agency has repeatedly called for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages taken by Hamas. Slovenia’s foreign minister said the country believes only a two-state solution can lead to a lasting peace in the Middle East and that her country “will tirelessly continue to work on the security of both nations, Palestinians and Israelis.” The two-state solution has been the goal of the international community for decades, with many nations believing it is the only way out of the long-running conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed the idea of two states in 2009 under pressure from the Obama administration, but more recently has said that recognizing a Palestinian state post-October 7 would be a “reward for terror.” Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz ordered the immediate recall of Israel’s ambassadors to Spain, Norway and Ireland after the countries’ decision last month. The vast majority of the po[CENSORED]tion in Gaza are descendants of 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were forcibly expelled from their homes during what Palestinians call al-Nakba, or “the catastrophe,” of the 1948-49 war, in what is now Israel.

  17. In this tutorial, you'll learn all about Asynchronous JavaScript. But before we dive into that, we need to make sure you understand what Synchronous code is and how it works. What is Synchronous Code? When we write a program in JavaScript, it executes line by line. When a line is completely executed, then and then only does the code move forward to execute the next line. Let's look at an example of this: let greet_one = "Hello" let greet_two = "World!!!" console.log(greet_one) for(let i=0;i<1000000000;i++) { } console.log(greet_two); Now if you run the above example on your machine you will notice that greet_one logs first. Then the program waits for a couple of seconds and then logs greet_two. This is because the code executes line by line. This is called synchronous code. This creates lot of problems. For example, if a certain piece of code takes 10 seconds to execute, the code after it won't be able to execute until it's finished, causing delays. Now, setTimeout is asynchronous so it runs in background, allowing code after it to execute while it runs. After 10 seconds, Asynchronous will print because we set a time of 10 seconds in setTimeout to execute it after 10 seconds. In this tutorial, we will study asynchronous JavaScript in detail so you can learn how to write your own asynchronous code. I just wanted to give you a taste of async JavaScript using in-built functions to whet your appetite. function compute(action, x, y){ if(action === "add"){ return x+y }else if(action === "divide"){ return x/y } } console.log(compute("add",10,5)) console.log(compute("divide",10,5)) In the above example, we have two operations. But what if we want to add more operations? Then the number of if/else statements would increase. This code would be lengthy, so we use callbacks instead: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/asynchronous-javascript/#:~:text=In JavaScript%2C there are two,failure) of an asynchronous operation.
  18. Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super The best graphics card for gaming Now that Nvidia and AMD have released the last GPUs we're likely to see this generation, it's time to look back and see what made the cut among the best graphics cards. Although there are definitely weak options on the market, some smart price shifting and well-timed refreshes for 2024 have given current-gen graphics cards new life. We've reviewed every graphics card released by Nvidia, AMD, and Intel over the past few years, testing them in a variety of games to see how they hold up. If you're new to graphics cards and PC gaming in general, make sure to check out our guide on how to install a graphics card and on the best GPU deals currently available. Why should you buy this: It's much faster than the original model, and it comes in at the same price. Who's it for: Midrange to high-end gamers looking for a GPU that can handle the most demanding games at 1440p. What we thought of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super: The RTX 4070 was already a great graphics card, but Nvidia made it even better with a Super refresh. This new version is between 10% and 15% faster than the base model based on our testing, and it still comes with all of the features that made the original version so impressive. Now, you're getting frame rates at the target resolution that are consistently above 100 fps, and often much more. On top of that the RTX 4070 Super has enough power to press up to 4K, assuming you make a few compromises in the most demanding games. It's the Swiss Army Knife of graphics cards, filling its duty as a gaming workhorse in just about any situation. It comes with Nvidia's excellent DLSS 3.5, as well. It's a huge asset in games like Alan Wake 2 with path tracing turned on, and it can make demanding games more playable at 4K. Between DLSS 3, solid raw performance, and an attainable price, the RTX 4070 Super nails a sweet spot that most graphics cards miss. https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/best-graphics-card/
  19. The same dark fluid that spaghettified some scientists in Helldivers 2 is now being used to obliterate a Terminid supercolony, as per the most recent major order. However, there's a problem—the bespoke dark fluid missions are, uh, they're really hard. Cruel, even. And I don't mean hard in a "git gud" or "just play a lower difficulty" way, I mean in the way where something's clearly gone wrong. Here's how one of these missions is supposed to play out: You and three other unlucky sods drop into Meridia, a supercolony in need of its own spaghettification. You call in a dark fluid backpack (that can also be used as a jetpack, which is fun) and haul ass to get to a drill site. Call in a drill, defend it, then extract. Except the Terminids really don't want you to be there—which is fair enough, sure. It's a super colony of the buggers. I'd be on-board with a ramp-up in difficulty for these very solid thematic reasons, only—bug breaches, where Terminids pour out of an improvised hole, appear to have zero restrictions as to where they can spawn. Shriekers (those flying bugs that now exist and have always existed) are also proving to be a terrifying nuisance, spawning in some obscene numbers even on lower difficulties. Here's one unfortunate soul getting dive bombed by an unmanageable cloud of bug-birds on the game's "Trivial" difficulty. Yeah, something's up—there's a difference between a challenge, and your drill getting instagibbed by a bile titan spawning within spitting distance of the objective, or new players getting mobbed by an airborne rave. Community sentiment is largely the same on the game's subreddit. "You can't tell people to 'just lower their difficulties' if the level 1 missions spawns 100 shriekers on their head. That's just crappy advice," writes one particularly peeved diver in a thread with over 6,800 upvotes at the time of writing. Another player writes: "We're all very experienced, I personally have 350+ hours in [the game] … The bug breaches spawn RIGHT on the tectonic drill. Clearly, the environment was designed to have three choke points from which bugs were supposed to come. How is ANYONE supposed to defend this, when EVERY time you load the dark fluid in the drill, the breaches appear with tons of hive guards, chargers and titans, that can basically one shot the drill? What was the design philosophy behind that?" Fortunately, it seems like the spawn rates aren't, in fact, intended: "Thank you to everyone that made us aware of the spawning bug in the current Major Order," writes community manager Baskinator. "A hotfix is currently being worked on for that issue and will be deployed as soon as possible. We'll let you know as soon as it's available." https://www.pcgamer.com/games/third-person-shooter/the-new-helldivers-2-major-order-has-some-major-issues-as-the-super-colony-of-meridia-proves-a-little-too-super/
