**Pineapple + Spices: A Combo You Must Try**
*By Anujj Trehaan | Sep 25, 2025, 11:13 AM*
Grilled pineapple with a spicy twist is an innovative way to enjoy this tropical fruit. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors creates an exciting taste experience that’s both simple and delicious. This dish is easy to prepare and can be served as a dessert or a side dish. When grilled, the natural sugars in the pineapple caramelize, adding depth and richness to its flavor.
Here’s how you can make this delightful treat at home.
### Tip 1: Choosing the Right Pineapple
Selecting the right pineapple is key to achieving the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Look for a pineapple with a firm shell that gives slightly when pressed. The color should be vibrant, with no signs of browning or mold. A ripe pineapple will have a sweet aroma at its base, indicating it’s ready to eat. Avoid overly green or too soft pineapples, as they may not grill well.
### Tip 2: Preparing the Spice Mix
A perfect spice mix can elevate your grilled pineapple to the next level. Begin with cayenne pepper for heat and add cinnamon for warmth and depth. Including brown sugar helps enhance caramelization while balancing the spice’s heat. Mix these ingredients well, then apply the blend evenly over the pineapple slices to ensure every bite bursts with flavor.
### Tip 3: Grilling Techniques for Best Results
Grilling pineapple requires medium heat to cook it evenly without burning. Preheat your grill before placing the spiced slices on it. Grill each side for about three minutes or until grill marks appear on both sides. Avoid overcrowding the grill; give each slice enough space so they grill properly instead of steaming.
### Tip 4: Serving Suggestions and Pairings
Grilled pineapple pairs wonderfully with many accompaniments. Try serving it with vanilla ice cream or yogurt, which offer a creamy contrast to its spiciness. Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing touch when included in a dessert platter alongside fruits like strawberries or mangoes.
For a savory approach, pair grilled pineapple with salads containing greens such as arugula tossed in balsamic vinaigrette, topped with roasted nuts like almonds or walnuts. This combination delivers a delicious balance of flavors and textures.
Give this bright, spicy grilled pineapple a try—you may find a new favorite way to enjoy fruit!

**World Is Now One Step Closer to Ending the HIV Epidemic**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Sep 24, 2025, 08:00 PM*
—
A groundbreaking development in the fight against HIV/AIDS has brought the world closer to ending the epidemic. A new injectable drug called **Lenacapavir**, which prevents HIV infection, will soon be made available at an affordable price in over 100 low-income countries. This significant move is expected to provide millions with access to breakthrough treatment and drastically reduce new infections worldwide.
### What is Lenacapavir?
Lenacapavir is an innovative injectable drug that prevents the replication of the HIV virus inside cells. Endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in July, this long-acting injection offers six months of protection against HIV infection per dose, administered just twice yearly.
The drug’s long-lasting effect makes it especially beneficial for vulnerable populations, including adolescent girls and young women, members of the LGBT community, sex workers, and drug users — groups often at higher risk of HIV infection.
### Affordable Access: A Game Changer
Currently, Lenacapavir is priced at $28,000 per person annually, making it inaccessible for many in low-income regions. However, thanks to an agreement brokered by former U.S. President Bill Clinton, the drug will be available for just $40 per person annually by 2027.
This deal was achieved through negotiations involving the Clinton Foundation, the Gates Foundation, and other key organizations such as South Africa’s Wits Research Institute (Wits RHI). The generic version awaits regulatory approval but is expected to launch within the next 18 months.
### Dual Use: Prevention and Treatment
Lenacapavir’s potential extends beyond prevention. It can also be used to treat people already living with HIV, enhancing its value as a versatile tool in global HIV management.
Studies indicate that making Lenacapavir available to just 4% of the population could prevent up to 20% of new HIV infections, underlining its critical role in curbing the epidemic.
### Impact on Global Health and Key Regions
The announcement of affordable access to Lenacapavir comes during a challenging period for global health. Despite progress since 2000, approximately 1.3 million people were newly infected with HIV last year, and over 600,000 died from AIDS-related illnesses.
South Africa, which carries the highest burden with nearly eight million people living with HIV, will be among the first countries to receive the new affordable treatment. This access has the potential to transform HIV prevention and care in the region substantially.
—
With Lenacapavir’s arrival on the horizon, the world moves closer to a future where HIV/AIDS can be effectively controlled and ultimately ended. This advancement exemplifies the power of collaboration and innovation in addressing one of the most persistent global health challenges.

**Strictly Judge Shirley Ballas Reveals Details of Phone Call with Dani Dyer Following Show Exit**
Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas has opened up about her conversation with Dani Dyer after the TV personality was forced to quit the show due to a devastating injury. The 65-year-old dancer and judge appeared on *This Morning* alongside hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley on Wednesday to discuss Dani’s shock departure and how producers are working to find her replacement.
Speaking gravely about Dani, Shirley said, “I know her work ethic and when she got onto Strictly I thought, ‘They don’t know what’s hit them!'” Singing praises for the young star, Shirley continued, “This young lady is all sparkle, and of course, yesterday, she fell on her ankle, or twisted it, she has a hairline fracture, so she’s out.”
Shirley revealed she had spoken to Dani the day after her injury. “I spoke to her yesterday, she’s mortified, she’s devastated but, as I said to her, she could come back next year. You know, like Jamie Laing did, and he made the final.”
With Dani’s departure, Strictly bosses are now scrambling to find a replacement. Shirley shared insights on the situation behind the scenes: “I did speak to the executive producer [about a replacement] to try to get an answer for you and they’re hustling and bustling to see what they can do. We’re a dancer down. So, either, someone won’t go home the first week or something like that. But let’s hope that someone else will get the opportunity.”
The news broke on Tuesday when the *Daily Mail* reported that Dani, 29, one of the show’s favourites, had suffered a fractured ankle during a rehearsal last Friday, forcing her to bow out of the competition.
Dani confirmed the injury in a heartfelt statement, saying:
“I had a fall on Friday in rehearsals and landed funny. I thought I had rolled my foot but it swelled up badly over the weekend and after an MRI scan yesterday, it turns out I have fractured my ankle.”
She added with a touch of humour, “Apparently doing the quickstep on a fracture is not advisable (!) and the doctors have said I am not allowed to dance so I’ve had to pull out of the show.”
Dani expressed her heartbreak over the situation: “To say I’m heartbroken is the biggest understatement. I am so going to miss dancing with Nikita but will of course be watching closely and cheering all the couples on.”
The accident occurred before Dani even had the chance to perform a routine on the show.
Sarah James, Executive Producer for BBC Studios, also commented on the news:
“Dani has brought so much passion, joy and enthusiasm to Strictly, and her partnership with Nikita was off to the most sensational start. Everyone on the show is incredibly sad that she’s no longer able to compete in this year’s series. We send her all our love and best wishes for a swift recovery, and we very much hope to welcome her back to the ballroom in the future.”
Many of Dani’s Strictly co-stars, celebrities, and professional dancers expressed their sympathies following her early exit. Among them was head judge Shirley Ballas, who wrote on social media:
“I’m so so sorry. But health is most important. Get well soon Angel.”

Dani Dyer’s departure is a huge loss for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, but fans and the show’s cast alike are hopeful for her swift recovery and eventual return.

**This Company Will Use AI to Develop Healthier Ice Cream**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Sep 23, 2025, 08:01 PM*
Magnum Ice Cream Company, which is set to go public in November, has announced an exciting new partnership with Chilean start-up NotCo. This collaboration will leverage NotCo’s cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology to reformulate existing Magnum products and develop innovative new offerings.
**A Commitment to Sustainability**
Zbigniew Lewicki, Chief Research, Design and Innovation Officer at Magnum Ice Cream Company, explained that this initiative is part of their broader effort to create more sustainable options while navigating rising commodity costs. “Consumers want to indulge but are also looking for smaller portions and more sustainable products,” Lewicki noted, highlighting the evolving preferences of today’s buyers.
The partnership aims to use NotCo’s AI capabilities to explore and reduce the calorie content in Magnum’s ice cream ranges. Additionally, the technology will assist in developing new plant-based products that align with consumer demand for healthier alternatives.
**NotCo’s AI Technology in Action**
NotCo’s AI has already been adopted by several major consumer goods companies, including those under the Magnum umbrella such as Ben & Jerry’s and Cornetto. Matias Muchnick, CEO of NotCo, shared that many leading food manufacturers rely on their AI to swiftly adapt to shifting consumer tastes—an especially crucial advantage amidst movements like Make America Healthy Again and the rising costs of ingredients such as cocoa.
**Expanding Applications in the Food Industry**
Beyond ice cream, NotCo’s AI technology is helping companies find alternatives for artificial colors, reduce sugar content, and innovate new flavors. NotCo’s previous collaborations include partnerships with Kraft Heinz to develop plant-based macaroni and cheese, cheese singles, and mayonnaise.
These developments underscore a growing trend in the food industry: major brands increasingly turning to AI-driven solutions for product reformulation, aiming to meet consumer demands for healthier, sustainable, and delicious food options.

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The National Health Mission (NHM) has issued an alert in Madhya Pradesh regarding Melioidosis, a serious infectious disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, commonly found in soil and water. The risk of infection significantly increases during the rainy and humid seasons.
Melioidosis has now become endemic in Madhya Pradesh. Alarmingly, 4 out of every 10 patients affected by this disease succumb to it. One of the challenges in treatment is that its symptoms often resemble those of tuberculosis (TB), leading to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment. This delay allows the infection to spread throughout the body, increasing the risk of severe complications.
Doctors warn that Melioidosis can be life-threatening, especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, kidney problems, or weakened immunity. A recent report from AIIMS Bhopal reveals that over the past six years, more than 130 cases have been reported across 20 districts in Madhya Pradesh.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has also included Melioidosis among the list of ‘emerging neglected diseases.’ After Southeast Asia and Australia, India—particularly the states of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha—is witnessing the emergence of new hotspots.
Anyone experiencing a fever lasting more than 2-3 weeks, showing no improvement with anti-TB medications, or suffering from recurring abscesses should get tested for Melioidosis immediately.
Since 2023, AIIMS Bhopal has trained over 50 doctors and microbiologists to enhance detection and diagnosis of this disease. In recent months, hospitals in Bhopal, Sagar, and Indore have reported 14 new cases. Experts attribute the increase in reported cases to improved testing and faster identification.
Accurate testing is essential for diagnosis and includes:
Health experts emphasize that increasing public awareness and early detection are crucial steps to prevent loss of lives due to Melioidosis.
Nelly Korda is enjoying some well-deserved downtime at home with her dog after a rain-soaked week on the LPGA Tour. She recently returned from the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, where heavy rain caused play to be suspended during the second round. Before the suspension, Korda had carded a 2-under 69 in the opening round, placing her tied for 66th.
On Monday, September 22, Korda shared a cozy Instagram story with her 1.1 million followers, showing herself relaxing with her black Labrador at home. She captioned the picture simply with “Home” accompanied by a heart-hands emoji. The 27-year-old star often features her dog on social media. Earlier this month, she posted a playful photo of her dog stretched out across her lap.
Korda has long been an animal lover. She once had a cat named Rafi, who passed away in April after 15 years. At the time, she posted a heartfelt tribute about the special bond they shared and how much she missed him.

### When Nelly Korda Was Bitten by a Dog
In June, Nelly Korda reminded her followers of one of the lowest points of last year after sharing a photo related to a dog bite incident. Following a surprising second-round 81 that left her in tears at the 2024 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, she was bitten on the thigh by a dog the next day while at a coffee shop in Seattle.
“I regret to announce that I must withdraw from next week’s Ladies European Tour tournament in London. On Saturday in Seattle, I was bitten by a dog and need time to receive treatment and recover fully,” Korda said at the time. “I apologize to the LET, the sponsors, and my fans for my absence. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to returning to the course soon,” she added.
The injury forced her to miss the Aramco Team Series event at London’s Centurion Club, an event she had won the previous year by four strokes. Initially, Korda did not share any images of the injury, only mentioning that the bite was on her thigh.
A year later, on June 26, 2025, Korda finally posted a picture showing the deep marks from the bite. “Throwing it back to a year ago when I got bit by a dog at the coffee shop,” she wrote on her Instagram story while explaining the reason for her recent break.

### Challenging Season for Korda
This season has also been a challenging one for Korda. She has slipped from No. 1 to No. 2 in the Rolex Rankings and has yet to secure a win in 16 starts. Nonetheless, she has maintained consistency by making every cut and recording seven top-10 finishes, including two inside the top 10.
Despite the ups and downs, Nelly Korda remains focused and determined as she continues to compete at the highest level of women’s golf.

### Simple Preparation Methods
Making radish coins is quick and effortless. Start by thoroughly washing the radishes to remove any dirt or residue.

**This is a Sure Shot Way to Score Youthful Skin**

If you haven’t heard of teff seeds yet, it’s time you do, as they’re the next big thing in skincare thanks to their skin-boosting properties. These small grains, a staple in Ethiopian cuisine, are loaded with nutrients that can help you achieve healthier, younger-looking skin. Rich in vitamins and minerals, teff seeds offer a natural alternative to conventional cosmetic products.
### Nutrient-Rich Composition
Teff seeds are packed with essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and vitamin C. Iron improves blood circulation, which can give you a glowing, healthy complexion. Calcium aids in skin regeneration and repair processes, helping to maintain skin vitality. Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Together, these nutrients make teff seeds a potent ally for keeping your skin vibrant and youthful.
### High Fiber Content Benefits
The high fiber content of teff seeds promotes digestion and detoxification within the body. A healthy digestive system is key to clear skin, as it helps flush out toxins that might otherwise cause blemishes or dullness. By adding teff to your diet, you may notice improvements in your overall complexion thanks to better internal health.
### Amino Acids for Skin Health
Teff contains all nine essential amino acids required for protein synthesis and tissue repair. These amino acids play a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity and firmness by supporting collagen production. Collagen keeps skin smooth and resilient, reducing signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging.
### Gluten-Free Alternative
For those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, teff makes an excellent alternative grain option. It offers all the nutritional benefits without compromising on taste or versatility. Whether used in bread, porridge, or other recipes, incorporating teff into your diet allows you to enjoy its skincare advantages safely and deliciously.
Incorporate teff seeds into your daily routine, and your skin will thank you with a radiant, youthful glow!
