Yud Tes Kislev is famously called Rosh HaShanah L'Chassidus. In many of the Yud Tes Kislev farbrengens, the Rebbe would quote the expression of the Rebbe Rashab, that Chassidus is "or vechayus nafsheinu," the light and energy of our neshamos. As Chabad chassidim, we celebrate the revelation of Chassidus, which brings us to a higher and deeper meaning in life, Torah and mitzvos. But Rosh HaShanah is also a day for reflection, and a time to reflect on the effect that Chassidus actually does affect…...

I had two Mercedes candidates to choose from for said trip: an E-Class wagon or a GLE SUV. My heart said longroof, but my head (contemplating the age and comfort of my baby-boomer passengers) said SUV. A 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE580 it was. My father'a former software engineer who was only recently peer-pressured into purchasing a smartphone'used to joke often that he'd choose his retirement home by tying a computer mouse to his truck's antenna and driving until he encountered somebody who had no clue what it was. Perhaps partly out of rebelliousness, I went the other way, becoming a PC enthusiast and gadget aficionado. All the time spent waiting for those passing windows to open up…...

Hilton is accelerating its luxury expansion into emerging markets like Malaysia and India, betting that rising wealth is fueling long-term demand that rivals have been slow to meet. Why it matters: Luxury hotels are one of the fastest-expanding sectors, as highlighted in one of Skift's 2026 Megatrends, "The Luxury Bubble Will Just Get Bigger.' Globally, the luxury hotel market is expected to more than double to $369 billion by 2032. Hilton needs more supply to meet that demand. As of September 30, Hilton had 106 open luxury hotels across its Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, LXR, NoMad, and Signia brands. Executives say years of strategic groundwork are now translating into openings and signed deals. "When you look at the trends that are coming out at the…...

1+ hour, 6+ min ago (1016+ words) Detailed study of light-emitting defects within hexagonal boron nitride reveals that their spin properties remain stable at very low temperatures, making them promising candidates for robust quantum sensing technologies. https://quantumzeitgeist.com/wp-content/uploads/Image_fx-60-10.jpg HBN Defects and Their Quantum Spin Properties Quantum emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) exhibiting optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) signatures are attracting significant attention as a promising solid-state platform for quantum technologies. This work investigates the underlying spin dynamics and mechanisms determining the origin of these spin-active emitters, aiming to establish a fundamental understanding of their spin properties and potential for quantum information processing. The research focuses on identifying the atomic structure of the defects responsible for the ODMR signals, and characterizing their spin coherence times and interactions with the surrounding hBN lattice. Through a combination of advanced optical spectroscopy, including ODMR measurements at cryogenic temperatures, and theoretical modelling,…...

Lily Collins braved the cold in New York on Wednesday, combining a vintage Roberto Cavalli coat with a woven stiletto sandal for a pattern-and-texture mix as she continues her Season Five "Emily in Paris" press run. Her sandal came together through three straps: a woven band at the toe, another woven strap crossing the mid-foot and a smooth ankle strap that buckled at the side. The lower two carried a tight, braid-like texture, while the ankle strap stayed plain. With an open back and a slim stiletto heel, the shape kept a light profile. The shape tracks with classic evening sandals from labels like Manolo Blahnik and Roberto Cavalli, both known for working woven or braided…...

1+ hour, 8+ min ago (343+ words) Italy's antitrust regulator has launched two separate investigations into Swiss-based watchmaker The Swatch Group and Japan's Citizen Watch. The inquiries will examine whether the companies restricted competition on retail prices for watches sold in the country. The Italian Competition Authority has opened proceedings against Citizen Watch Italy and its parent company, Citizen Watch, as well as The Swatch Group (Italia) and its parent, The Swatch Group. The cases concern suspected breaches of Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), which prohibits anti-competitive agreements. The investigations focus on the alleged coordination of retail prices published online by authorised dealers, including jewellers and specialist watch retailers. According to the authority, Citizen, which distributes brands such as Citizen, Bulova, Vagary, Fr'd'rique Constant and Alpina, is suspected of directing members of its selective distribution network to adhere to specified…...

MILAN " A few days after the unveiling of the film on his life, Brunello Cucinelli was eager to discuss the year about to close, which he described as "a record" one for his namesake company in terms of financials and brand image. During a call with analysts at the end of trading in Milan on Wednesday, Cucinelli said he forecasts a sales gain of between 11 and 12 percent at constant exchange for 2025, which is higher than the 10 percent expected at the beginning of the year. At current exchange rates, the growth is pegged at around 10 percent. "The fourth quarter promises to be very, very positive," said Cucinelli, in line with the trend of the third quarter,…...

Instead, the government has hit pause, just as data centre demand is set to explode, leading investors wondering whether the UK risks talking itself out of its opportunity. Recent analysis from the Nuclear Industry Association and Oxford Economics warned that data-centre electricity demand will jump more than fivefold by 2030, swallowing nearly nine per cent of the UK's total power use. The AI labs and hyperscalers behind that surge want plug in-ready, 24/7 power, all within two years. Britain currently hands out grid connections on a ten year timetable. This forms the backdrop to Rachel…...
