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.

**Hoda Kotb to Make Guest Appearance on the TODAY Show Nine Months After Departure**

*Published September 22, 2025, 2:15 p.m. ET*

Former *TODAY* show co-host Hoda Kotb is set to return to the morning news show for a special guest appearance, RadarOnline.com can reveal. This comes nine months after Kotb left her post to spend more time with her two young daughters.

During the *TODAY* show on Monday, September 22, co-host Craig Melvin surprised viewers by announcing the exciting news of Kotb’s return. As he signed off, Melvin teased:

*”You’ll want to come back tomorrow. Something to look forward to. Hoda is back.”*

However, Melvin was quick to clarify that Kotb’s return would be temporary.

**Kotb’s Temporary Return to TODAY**

“No, no, not for good. You’re still stuck with me,” Melvin joked. “But Hoda will be here to talk about a really special project—her new book, *Jump and Find Joy*.”

He added, “It’s all about embracing change in every season of life. She’s gonna be here to talk about it tomorrow.”

Kotb’s former co-host Savannah Guthrie also expressed excitement about reconnecting with her, saying, “It will be good to catch up with Hoda.”

**About Hoda Kotb’s New Book: *Jump and Find Joy***

According to the synopsis, *Jump and Find Joy* offers an intimate look into how Kotb’s life transformed once she started embracing change rather than resisting it.

The book’s synopsis explains:

*”In her quest to better understand change and how to work with (not against) it, Hoda relies on her reporting instincts to investigate how change works, who is approaching it with grace, and what she can apply to her own life and share with others.”*

*Jump and Find Joy* combines wisdom from experts on change, the latest research on resilience, and heartfelt stories from celebrities and inspiring individuals within our communities.

From small shifts in daily routines to major leaps of faith, Kotb shows readers why change shouldn’t be feared but celebrated—and how everyone can thrive amidst the inevitable changes life brings.

**Why Did Hoda Kotb Leave the TODAY Show?**

RadarOnline.com previously reported that Kotb shocked fans when she announced her departure from the *TODAY* show in January after 17 years. Her reason: wanting to devote more time to her daughters, Hope and Haley.

In a recent interview with Kristen Welker, Kotb shared a touching moment with her daughters that affirmed her decision:

*”For 26 years, I did similar things every single day. And one day, Kristen, in January, I woke up and my alarm didn’t go off at 3:30 A.M. I went downstairs to my office, and Haley ran down and she looked at me and said at 5 A.M., ‘You really are here.’ And I think in that tiny moment I was like this decision was right on so many levels.”*

**Rumors Swirl About Kotb’s Future Plans**

Before Melvin’s announcement of Kotb’s upcoming special appearance, rumors circulated that the former *TODAY* alum might be considered as Kelly Clarkson’s replacement on the singer’s daytime talk show. This speculation followed the news of Clarkson’s ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock’s, death.

For now, fans can look forward to Hoda Kotb’s heartfelt and inspiring guest spot on the *TODAY* show tomorrow, where she will discuss her new book and journey embracing life’s inevitable changes.

Nissan Unveils AI-Powered Prototype Car

Long-term interest rates in Japan, which influence fixed mortgage rates, rose to their highest level in 17 years. On September 22nd, the yield on 10-year government bonds briefly reached 1.665 percent, marking the highest point since 2008.

In an innovative approach to electricity demand control, frozen tuna stored at minus 60 degrees Celsius are now being utilized as a cooling agent. By temporarily shutting down refrigeration units and relying on the fish itself to maintain storage temperatures, companies are beginning to reduce power consumption effectively.

The Consumer Affairs Agency has announced suspicions of stealth marketing practices involving Ajinomoto and Inglewood concerning their frozen home-delivery meal brand, “Aete.” It is alleged that the companies asked individuals to post about the products on social media in exchange for free items, later republishing those posts on their sales sites.

Seven-Eleven Japan has completed a large-scale overhaul of the store system used by approximately 21,000 outlets nationwide. This milestone, achieved five years after the project was conceived, represents a major step in digital transformation. The new cloud-based system replaces the company’s traditional infrastructure and is designed to enhance efficiency and customer service.

On September 19th, the Bank of Japan decided to maintain its policy interest rate at 0.5 percent, marking the fifth consecutive meeting without a rate change. Backed by a majority of the Policy Board, the decision reflects the central bank’s cautious approach as it continues to monitor the impact of U.S. tariffs, commonly known as the Trump tariffs.

**What’s the story?**

Radish coins are quickly becoming a trendy alternative to traditional salty snacks like pretzels. Known for their crispiness and naturally peppery flavor, radishes offer a refreshing and interesting snacking option. Low in calories and packed with essential nutrients, they appeal particularly to health-conscious individuals seeking a delicious yet nutritious treat.

—

### Nutritional Benefits of Radishes

Radishes are loaded with vital nutrients that promote overall good health. They provide a rich source of vitamin C, which is essential for boosting the immune system and enhancing skin health. Additionally, radishes contain potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure levels. Their high fiber content aids digestion and helps keep you feeling full longer, making radish coins an ideal snack for those aiming to lose weight.

—

### Simple Preparation Methods

Making radish coins is quick and effortless. Start by thoroughly washing the radishes to remove any dirt or residue. Then, slice them into thin, even rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for consistency. For added flavor, sprinkle your radish coins with sea salt or your favorite seasoning blend before serving. These straightforward steps create a ready-to-eat snack that is both healthy and satisfying.

—

### Health Advantages Over Pretzels

Compared to pretzels, radish coins offer numerous health benefits. Radishes are lower in calories and far richer in nutrients. While pretzels tend to be high in sodium and refined carbohydrates, radishes deliver natural vitamins without added preservatives or artificial ingredients. This makes them an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy a flavorful snack without compromising on health.

—

### Versatile Snacking Options

Radish coins can be enjoyed on their own or paired with various dips for an extra burst of flavor. Try them with hummus or guacamole to add creaminess and a delightful taste contrast. They also work well as crunchy toppings on salads or combined with other vegetables for colorful crudité platters at parties. Their versatility makes radish coins a perfect snack that suits different palates while maintaining nutritional value.

**How This Teen Sent a Homemade Rocket Soaring to 400 Meters**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Sep 22, 2025, 08:00 PM*

**The Story**

Zhang Shijie, an 18-year-old from Hunan province in central China, has achieved an impressive feat by launching a homemade rocket to an altitude of 400 meters. Using inexpensive materials and tools, Zhang’s accomplishment highlights his ingenuity and dedication to rocketry. His passion for rockets was sparked at the age of 14 when he witnessed a live rocket launch alongside his father.

—

**Educational Path**

Despite coming from a humble village background, Zhang’s commitment to learning has led him to enroll in the aerospace engineering program at Shenyang Aerospace University. Much of his early knowledge about rocket construction came from watching DIY rocket videos and short clips shared on online platforms. According to his school teacher, Long Yanjiao, the internet was “immensely helpful” in fostering Zhang’s enthusiasm for rocketry, especially given the limited resources available at their village school.

—

**Resourcefulness**

Zhang demonstrated remarkable resourcefulness in his learning process. Using a second-hand laptop borrowed from his sister, he explored various science forums and innovation communities online. His initial attempts at making rocket fuel involved scraping nitrate from his family’s pigsty, but through lessons learned at school, he began producing purer fuel from fertilizers using filtration techniques.

He also experimented with affordable materials like PVC tubes and cement to build rocket engines. Although his early prototypes did not succeed, Zhang’s perseverance kept him moving forward.

—

**Breakthrough Moment**

On his birthday in June 2023, Zhang invited his father and classmates to witness his first test launch. While that initial attempt was hindered by rain and ultimately failed, he succeeded the very next day. Over more than 100 experiments, Zhang developed four types of rocket engines, built several single-stage rockets, and a two-stage rocket that reached 400 meters in altitude.

His school recognized Zhang’s determination and supported his project financially with CNY 3,500 (approximately 43,400 INR).

—

**Financial Support and Future Goals**

To sustain his passion, Zhang sold some of his creations to institutions, using the funds earned to repay loans from classmates who had supported him. His family also stands firmly behind him; his father works as a ride-sharing driver while his mother is employed as a nanny in another city.

Looking ahead, Zhang’s ultimate dream is to design a real rocket—a goal he plans to realize through his studies at university.

—

Zhang Shijie’s inspiring journey exemplifies how innovation and determination, combined with resourcefulness and community support, can help achieve extraordinary feats—even from the humblest beginnings.
