Paweł takes a year-long sabbatical every 10 years: "I felt like a teenager on holiday"

Paweł takes a year-long sabbatical every decade as a long-term break from work. He recalls the moment he stopped thinking about professional duties and fully switched to living in the present, comparing it to teenage holidays. The sabbatical is a growing trend among workers seeking to regain energy and fresh perspective.

Should employers offer workers the option of a year-long sabbatical?

Tapioca pearls: potassium-rich, gluten-free beyond bubble tea

Tapioca pearls, best known as the chewy balls in bubble tea, are naturally gluten-free, mild in flavour and a good source of potassium. Beyond sweet milk tea, they work well as a light, easily digestible base in desserts, soups and other dishes requiring a soft texture.

NATO Ankara summit: Ukraine leaves empty-handed, Poland still waiting for a breakthrough

The NATO summit in Ankara was meant to project alliance unity against Russia, but also exposed gaps in member states' political will and defence-industrial capacity. Turkey used the event to showcase its growing defence sector. Ukraine left without concrete commitments, while Poland is still waiting for a genuine breakthrough — so far only declarations have been made, according to analysts Dr Aleksander Olech and Gen. Jarosław Gromadziński.

NYT reporters subpoenaed over Air Force One security coverage

The US Justice Department has subpoenaed New York Times journalists who reported on security concerns surrounding Air Force One, the presidential aircraft gifted to Donald Trump by Qatar. The move has raised fresh concerns about press freedom under the Trump administration, as reporters could be compelled to identify their sources in court.

Should journalists protect their sources even when subpoenaed by a court?

Mount Erebus volcano ejects 80 grams of pure gold every day

Mount Erebus in Antarctica has been studied for over three decades as one of Earth's most extraordinary volcanoes. In the early 1990s, scientists discovered that gases escaping from its crater contain microscopic gold particles. Estimates suggest the volcano releases up to 80 grams of pure gold into the atmosphere every day.

Food scent boosts leg workout endurance, study finds

A study published in Frontiers in Physiology found that food-related scent signals can increase strength and endurance during leg resistance training. Dr Mohamed Nashrudin bin Naharudin from the University of Malaya recruited 23 healthy young men who fasted for at least 10 hours before testing on a leg extension machine. The results show that unconscious olfactory cues genuinely affect physical performance capacity.

Should these findings change how people prepare for resistance training?

China tests truck-mounted electromagnetic drone catapult that needs no runway

China's Beijing Institute of Technology released footage of three eight-wheeled trucks interlocking to form a road-mobile electromagnetic catapult capable of launching a propeller-driven drone without a runway. The system miniaturises the EMALS technology already used on China's newest aircraft carrier. Transported in standard shipping containers, it could theoretically be deployed anywhere in the world.

Tourists followed AI shortcut advice in Tatra Mountains, required helicopter rescue

Tourists in the Tatra Mountains used an AI-generated route suggestion to find a shortcut, resulting in a helicopter rescue operation by TOPR mountain rescue service. Rescuers warn that AI cannot replace proper knowledge of mountain terrain and that following such advice can be life-threatening. The incident is expected to serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of relying on AI for mountain navigation.

Should tourists be fined for irresponsible mountain trips requiring rescue?

New book on Trump: the more a would-be dictator seeks total power, the more absurd he becomes

Krzysztof Szadkowski reviews a new book about Donald Trump, which explores the claim that Trump aspires to be the most powerful leader in history. The reviewer argues the book confirms a timeless truth about would-be dictators: the more they crave absolute power, the more ridiculous they become. The publication is assessed as a sharp analysis of what the reviewer calls "pseudo-dictatorial" political phenomena.

Is it fair to compare Trump to a dictator?

Poland could become a key regional gas hub after EU cuts Russian imports

Analysts at the Polish Economic Institute (PIE) say Poland could significantly increase its role as a gas transit country as the EU fully withdraws from Russian gas imports while demand for the fuel remains. The institute highlights this as a real opportunity for Poland to strengthen its energy position in the European region. The analysis points to existing infrastructure and geographic location as key assets.

Should Poland invest in gas infrastructure to become a European energy hub?

Renault 4 E-Tech Plein Sud review: retro electric cabriolet tested near Barcelona

The all-electric Renault 4 E-Tech returns in a Plein Sud variant featuring a fabric soft-top instead of a rigid roof. The car was put through its paces on various roads near Barcelona, including a check of the engineers' claim of exceptional cabin quietness at 130 km/h. The tester describes the drive as enjoyable and nostalgic, evoking the spirit of the original R4.

Is the electric Renault 4 soft-top a worthy successor to the iconic original?

Ripple considered shutting down and giving XRP to shareholders before fighting SEC lawsuit

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has revealed that he and co-founder Chris Larsen considered winding the company down and distributing its XRP holdings to shareholders. The option was weighed before they decided to fight the SEC lawsuit filed against Ripple in 2020. Ultimately both chose to contest the case in court rather than dissolve the company.

WSJ: US–Europe relations are a loveless marriage, but no divorce in sight

The Wall Street Journal described transatlantic relations as a "loveless marriage" kept alive by key players on both sides. The paper stressed that neither side has filed for "divorce," and that unravelling the deep political, economic and military ties would be an enormous undertaking. Tensions between Washington and European capitals nonetheless remain significant.

Intensive Ukrainian strikes on Russian tankers in the Sea of Azov may have forced Russia to close certain shipping routes, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). In one overnight operation, 28 vessels from Russia's so-called shadow fleet were hit, Major Robert "Magyar" Brovdi reported. It is one of the largest such attacks since the start of the conflict.

Ukrainian internet users are using VPNs to report fake fuel shortages at Russian petrol stations in navigation apps. Russian drivers see most stations marked as closed or out of fuel and avoid them without checking in person. The campaign is a form of civilian cyber-trolling aimed at disrupting daily life in Russia.
