Sleeping well has become one of modern life’s biggest challenges. Between screens, irregular schedules and stress, more and more people feel like they’re not getting the rest they need. As such, it’s no surprise that recent years have seen the proliferation of tools designed for sleep analysis: smart watches, rings, sensors placed under the mattress and mobile apps that promise to measure how we sleep, and help us to improve our rest.Seguir leyendo

Last year Time magazine included Pope Leo XIV among the 100 most important figures in the world in artificial intelligence (AI). It is no coincidence. Only eight days passed from his papal appointment to his first public remarks on the technology: “Truth is never separated from charity... Thus, truth does not distance us, but rather allows us to face with greater vigor the challenges of our time, such as migration, the ethical use of artificial intelligence and the protection of our beloved Eart

Thus, truth does not distance us, but rather allows us to face with greater vigor the challenges of our time, such as migration, the ethical use of artificial intelligence and the protection of our beloved Earth,” he said in his second official address. His first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas (magnificent humanity), is devoted precisely to this technology.
This Filipino braised chicken adobo takes just minutes to prepare but has a complex flavor profile thanks to pantry items you likely have around — soy sauce, garlic, and apple cider vinegar. We add pineapple and Sriracha for a sweet-spicy kick. The dish is traditionally served with white rice, but brown rice, mashed sweet potatoes or quinoa are equally delicious—and offer more fiber and nutrients.

Slow Cooker Chicken Adobo With Pineapple
Ingredients
1/3 cup (80g) low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp tomato paste
8 bone-in chicken thighs, skin and excess fat removed
1 can (8oz/227g) pineapple chunks in juice, drained
1/2 large onion, sliced
4 large garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and thickly sliced
8 whole black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp Sriracha
Directions
In a slow cooker, whisk together the broth, vinegar, soy sauce, and tomato paste until the tomato paste is dissolved. Add the chicken, pineapple, onion, garlic, ginger, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low heat for 4–5 hours,or until the chicken registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, away from the bone.
Carefully transfer the chicken pieces to a platter and cover with foil. When cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and shred using two forks. Discard the bones. Transfer the pineapple and onion to a small saucepan. Add half of the cooking liquid, discarding the remaining liquid, ginger slices, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 1 1/2 tbsp cold water and the Sriracha. Add to the cooking liquid in the saucepan and cook until thickened and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the shredded chicken and serve with rice, if desired.
Serves: 6 | Serving Size: 3 oz (85g) chicken and 1/2 cup sauce

These Japan-exclusive beverages are harder to get than most.
Starbucks might have originated overseas but Japan has refined its offerings and taken them to a whole other level. Case in point is the chain’s Tea & Cafe stores, which only exist in Japan, at 30 select locations.
These stores specialise in tea-based beverages made with Starbucks’ Teavana brand teas, and serve exclusive drinks you won’t find at regular Starbucks locations.
This summer, an exclusive duo of drinks will be released, based around the theme of “Urban Oasis“. The star ingredient at the centre of this oasis is Pineapple Kona Pop, a new Teavana tea blend that combines sweetly tart pineapple notes with the subtle sweetness of apple and plenty of rose and marigold buds and petals, making it a refreshing treat for summer.
Said to have a vibrant and fragrant flavour, the new blend is being featured in the Pineapple & Coconut Frozen Tea Float (933 yen [US$5.82]) for takeout and 950 yen for dine-in), and the Craft Iced Tea Pineapple Kona Pop (628 yen takeout; 640 yen dine-in).
The Pineapple & Coconut Frozen Tea Float is constructed in layers, with a juicy pineapple pulp jelly and orange marmalade at the bottom of the cup, a frozen Pineapple Kona Pop, layered with creamy coconut cream, in the middle, and a topping of vanilla ice cream and coconut chips. According to Starbucks, this is a drink that can be enjoyed like a parfait, so you can enjoy the layers separately, or mix them together for full-on tropical flavour.
The Craft Iced Tea Pineapple Kona Pop is an exquisitely made drink, with baristas brewing the Kona Pop tea fresh for every order. The tea leaves are strained with a tea strainer and then rapidly chilled over ice to maximise the pineapple flavour and enhance the brightness of the rose and marigold botanicals, ensuring every cup contains a delightful, vibrant aroma.
After getting a taste of the Pineapple Kona Pop blend, you might find yourself falling in love with it, in which case you’ll be able to pick up a box to enjoy at home.
▼ Each 80-gram (2.8-ounce) box retails for 2,350 yen.
While the tea leaves will be available year-round as a standard product at Starbucks Tea & Cafe stores, the new drinks will only be on the menu for a limited time from 17 June. If you’re unable to visit a Tea & Cafe branch, then the chain can still satisfy your summertime fruit cravings at other retail outlets, with fruit gummies, muscat tea lattes, and a Banana Affogato Frappuccino.

In East Harlem one Sunday out of every month, a group of people meet with the intention of bringing objects back to life. In El Barrio Artspace PS109, a project has transformed an abandoned school into an art center in which several tables have been set up in a simulation of an operating room. Only here, the surgeons are repair experts.
