Esteban Ocon crashed early in the second segment of qualifying, a hard shunt into the wall at Turn 10 that brought out the red flag. Before the session officially resumed, both Russell and Antonelli came out of their garages…

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has projected a significant increase in the value of Bitcoin BTC/USD. This anticipated surge is linked to the tariff policies of President Donald Trump. What Happened: On X Hayes stated that the sell-off of US treasuries and the rise in 10-year bond yields could trigger more money printing.

And if you’re feeling unfocused, irritable, creatively blocked, or emotionally drained, you may be missing out on exactly the type of rest your mind is silently begging for.…

It’s usually characterized by burning during urination, pelvic pressure, an urgent need to urinate and cloudy or strong-smelling urine. But when those symptoms are absent, and doctors still prescribe antibiotics, the consequences are often serious. Antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiome, leave patients vulnerable to new infections like C. diff and accelerate the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Older adults are especially at risk of misdiagnosed UTIs, but anyone can be affected by this misdiagnosis epidemic. Doctors Rely Too Heavily on Urine Tests and Miss…
