  • President Zardari constitutes 11th National Finance Commission to divvy up revenue – Business

    President Zardari constitutes 11th National Finance Commission to divvy up revenue – Business

    President Asif Ali Zardari on Friday constituted the 11th National Finance Commission (NFC) to announce a new award for the sharing of federal divisible resources between the Centre and the provinces.

    According to a notification from the Finance Division, the president constituted the commission with Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb as the chairman and the four provincial finance ministers as its members.

    The commission also includes former bureaucrat Nasir Mahmood Khosa as a member representing the Punjab government, economist and researcher Asad Sayeed as a member representing the Sindh government, former bureaucrat Dr Musharraf Rasool Cyan as a member representing the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government and Farmanullah as a member representing the Balochistan government.

    The commission will make recommendations to the president on the distribution between the federation and the provinces of the ““net proceeds of the taxes mentioned in clause (3) of Article 160 of the Constitution”, it read.

    The taxes are taxes on income, including corporation tax, but not including taxes on income consisting of remuneration paid out of the Federal Consolidated Fund; taxes on the sales and purchases of goods imported, exported, produced, manufactured or consumed; export duties on cotton, and such other export duties as may be specified by the president; duties of excise as may be specified by the president and other taxes as may be specified by the president.

    The body will also recommend the president regarding the grants-in-aid by the federal government to the provincial governments and the exercise, by the federal government and the provincial governments, of the borrowing powers conferred by the Constitution.

    The commission will further make recommendations to the president on issues relating to the sharing of financial expense incurred or to be incurred by the federation in respect of subjects and matters falling within the domain of the provinces; issues relating to the sharing of financial expense incurred or to be incurred by the federation or the provinces or both in respect of trans-provincial matters; issues relating to financial expense for national projects to be shared by the federation and the provinces; and any other matter relating to finance referred to the commission by the president.

    For several years, policymakers associated with the finance ministry, as well as political actors across different parties at the centre, have spoken about revising revenue transfers to the provinces to improve the federal government’s financial position.

    The 10th NFC expired on July 21. The 7th NFC Award has now been in effect for nearly 15 years — far beyond its five-year tenure. The president has extended the award every year due to a disagreement between the provinces and the Centre over the new formula.

    The 18th Amendment provided constitutional protection to the share of the federating units, stipulating that a sub-federation’s share in any future award must not be less than its share in the previous award.

  • At This Point, It’s Impossible to Know What the Trump Phone Looks Like

    At This Point, It’s Impossible to Know What the Trump Phone Looks Like

    It’s been over two months since Trump Mobile announced the T1 Phone was being “Made in the USA” designed “with American values in mind,” and it seems that anyone deciding to preorder it still can’t be sure exactly what phone they might receive.

    In posts on X and Instagram on Wednesday, the Trump Mobile account encouraged followers to place their preorder, promising them that “the wait is almost over.” This was joined by an image that looks nothing like the one of the T1 phone that’s currently on the Trump Mobile website. It instead looks rather suspiciously like the rear side of a Samsung Galaxy S25.

    Not just that, it actually appears to be the back of a third-party S25 phone case from Spigen that has been photoshopped gold and stamped with the T1 logo and trademark American flag. Still visible, just behind the flag, is the Spigen company logo.

    Spigen’s social media account commented under the post on X with an apt “??? bro what” before writing on its own page that it had a “lawsuit incoming.” WIRED has reached out to Spigen for comment.

    This isn’t the first time questions have been raised about what the T1 Phone will actually turn out to be. Not long after it was announced in June, the specs of the phone changed on the Trump Mobile website, and claims that it would be made in the USA were deleted.

    Currently, the Trump Mobile website claims the T1 Phone will have a 6.2-inch punch-hole AMOLED screen with 120-Hz refresh rate, 50-MP main camera with a 16-MP selfie camera, and a 5,000-mAh battery. There’s also 256 GB of internal storage, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and “AI face unlock.”

    It’s priced at $499, which includes a $100 deposit that apparently covers shipping and handling as well as your first month of Trump Mobile service. This suggests buyers will be required to use Trump Mobile with their T1 Phone, with no clear details before you authorize payment of any ongoing commitment to the service.

    Users can, at least, wait to receive the phone before activating the service and can request a full refund “at any time prior to the shipment of the phone.”

    As to what the phone will look like when (and if) that ever happens, it’s impossible to know—and Trump Mobile seems as unsure as the rest of us. All of which isn’t helping to curb suspicions that, right now, the T1 Phone—initially pegged to arrive in August—probably doesn’t exist in any shape or form.

  • Latin American and Caribbean laboratories strengthen zoonotic influenza detection through joint PAHO-IAEA workshop – PAHO/WHO

    Latin American and Caribbean laboratories strengthen zoonotic influenza detection through joint PAHO-IAEA workshop – PAHO/WHO

    Rio de Janeiro, August 22, 2025 (PANAFTOSA/SPV-PAHO/WHO) – Laboratory technicians from 19 Latin American and Caribbean countries completed a five-day workshop in Rio de Janeiro to enhance the detection of avian influenza A (H5N1), a virus responsible for over 4,700 reported outbreaks in birds and mammals and more than 70 human cases in the Americas since 2021.

    Organized by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) through its Pan American Foot-and-Mouth Disease and Veterinary Public Health Center (PANAFTOSA), in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, the workshop trained participants in advanced diagnostic techniques, including testing influenza in milk samples.

    This expertise is critical given the zoonotic influenza outbreaks detected in dairy cattle in the United States since 2024. Participants reviewed international standards for accrediting diagnostic tests and were trained in biosafety protocols for the safe handling, shipping, and processing of samples.

    “Strengthening our region’s laboratories is vital for early detection and control of avian influenza, safeguarding both animal and human health,” said Ottorino Cosivi, Director of PANAFTOSA. “This training equips countries to more effectively address an evolving threat,” he added.

    Technicians from Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Dominican Republic, Uruguay, and Venezuela practiced molecular techniques such as real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) to identify the virus and genetic sequencing tools to analyze its variants.

    “Controlling zoonotic diseases demands a multisectoral approach. This collaboration exemplifies the importance of integrating animal and public health sectors in veterinary training to produce professionals capable of addressing health challenges affecting both animals and humans,” said Carla Bravo de Rueda, Animal Health Technical Officer at the IAEA.

    The workshop was supported by the Federal Laboratory for Agricultural Defense in Campinas (Brazil), a World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) Reference Laboratory for avian influenza, and the Regional Office of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for Latin America and the Caribbean. It was also supported by the PROTECT project, funded by the Pandemic Fund, and the IAEA’s regional project RLA 5085.

    A(H5N1) is a zoonotic virus transmissible from animals to humans, underscoring the need for coordinated surveillance in animal and human health under the One Health approach, which recognizes the interconnection of human, animal, and environmental health.

    Since 2020, the A(H5N1) virus has spread across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, affecting wild and domestic birds, mammals, and over 1,000 dairy herds in 17 U.S. states as of May 2025. While there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission, PAHO and WHO urge sustained vigilance to monitor changes in the virus.

    PAHO will continue providing technical support to countries in the region to bolster surveillance, response, and preparedness systems for emerging diseases, with the goal of protecting public health, food security, and animal welfare.

    Note to Editors:

    The workshop instructors included technical staff from PAHO, PANAFTOSA, the IAEA, and the Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture. Additionally, collaboration was provided by experts from regional and global institutions, including:

    • Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
    • National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN) of the United States
    • Federal Laboratory for Agricultural Defense in São Paulo (LFDA-SP), WOAH Reference Laboratory for avian influenza and Newcastle disease
    • Laboratory for Agricultural Defense in Minas Gerais (LFDA-MG)
    • Embrapa Gado de Leite, a unit of Embrapa, Brazil’s public institution focused on dairy production research
    • WHO Collaborating Centre for Studies on the Ecology of Influenza in Animals at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

  • Kevin O’Leary flaunts his Louis Vuitton Labubu while hailing the resale market for collectibles—some of which are appreciating better than the S&P 500

    Kevin O’Leary flaunts his Louis Vuitton Labubu while hailing the resale market for collectibles—some of which are appreciating better than the S&P 500

    Kevin O’Leary has his eyes on a new alternative market: collectibles.

    Parading a Louis Vuitton Labubu he acquired on the set of Shark Tank, the investor told CNBC the collectibles asset class may have some staying power. 

    “It’s not flash in the pan,” O’Leary said. 

    The Labubu O’Leary showed off—which he insisted he is not selling despite multiple offers—is the most recent “It toy” created by Chinese company Pop Mart. The fuzzy plush toy with pointed ears and a mischievous, toothy grin generally comes in a “blind box,” meaning buyers don’t know which they will receive until they buy. The toys have become a worldwide craze, with a boost from celebrity promotion, helping push Pop Mart’s net profit up 400% for the first half of the year. The company’s Hong Kong–listed shares have skyrocketed 246% year to date.

    On the online reseller StockX, Pop Mart has maintained the top spot for collectible brands since October 2024, thanks to the strength of Labubus, according to the company’s midyear data report. The toy still hasn’t hit its peak yet, though, with StockX reporting more than twice as many sales in June than it saw in January, along with 2.4 million searches for the word “Labubu” in the first half of the year, putting it in the top 10 search terms, according to the report. Some of the toys, which retail for about $40, have sold for about $4,000 on StockX. 

    Apart from Labubus, O’Leary also mentioned collectible sports cards could possibly be the next big alternative investment. After studying the past eight years of the market, O’Leary found that between $380 million and $400 million worth of the cards are trading monthly. 

    “These are baseball cards, or F1 cards, or basketball cards; they’re trading for a million, $2 million, $3 million, $4 million, and it reminds me so much of what was happening in modern art and contemporary art 20 years ago,” he said. 

    O’Leary noted that while fathers and sons have been collecting sports cards for 50 years in the U.S., someone’s dusty baseball card collection could now be a prized set of collectibles potentially worth millions. 

    “That market really intrigues me,” said O’Leary. “It sort of captures what this Labubu vibe is all about, except you can see—there’s a platform called Card Ladder—you’re going to find cards on there for millions of dollars that are appreciating, in some cases, better than the S&P 500.” 

    On Card Ladder’s account on X, a post from Friday touted a 2013 “Innovation Kobe Bryant Kaboom!” sports card that sold for $4,560 a year ago. On Aug. 10, the card sold for a whopping $19,999—up 338%.

  • NVIDIA Introduces Spectrum-XGS Ethernet to Connect Distributed Data Centers Into Giga-Scale AI Super-Factories

    NVIDIA Introduces Spectrum-XGS Ethernet to Connect Distributed Data Centers Into Giga-Scale AI Super-Factories

    Hot Chips—NVIDIA today announced NVIDIA® Spectrum-XGS Ethernet, a scale-across technology for combining distributed data centers into unified, giga-scale AI super-factories.

    As AI demand surges, individual data centers are reaching the limits of power and capacity within a single facility. To expand, data centers must scale beyond any one building, which is limited by off-the-shelf Ethernet networking infrastructure with high latency and jitter and unpredictable performance.

    Spectrum-XGS Ethernet is a breakthrough addition to the NVIDIA Spectrum-X™ Ethernet platform that removes these boundaries by introducing scale-across infrastructure. It serves as a third pillar of AI computing beyond scale-up and scale-out, designed for extending the extreme performance and scale of Spectrum-X Ethernet to interconnect multiple, distributed data centers to form massive AI super-factories capable of giga-scale intelligence.

    “The AI industrial revolution is here, and giant-scale AI factories are the essential infrastructure,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “With NVIDIA Spectrum-XGS Ethernet, we add scale-across to scale-up and scale-out capabilities to link data centers across cities, nations and continents into vast, giga-scale AI super-factories.”

    Spectrum-XGS Ethernet is fully integrated into the Spectrum-X platform, featuring algorithms that dynamically adapt the network to the distance between data center facilities.

    With advanced, auto-adjusted distance congestion control, precision latency management and end-to-end telemetry, Spectrum-XGS Ethernet nearly doubles the performance of the NVIDIA Collective Communications Library, accelerating multi-GPU and multi-node communication to deliver predictable performance across geographically distributed AI clusters. As a result, multiple data centers can operate as a single AI super-factory, fully optimized for long-distance connectivity.

    Hyperscale pioneers embracing the new infrastructure include CoreWeave, which will be among the first to connect its data centers with Spectrum-XGS Ethernet.

    “CoreWeave’s mission is to deliver the most powerful AI infrastructure to innovators everywhere,” said Peter Salanki, cofounder and chief technology officer of CoreWeave. “With NVIDIA Spectrum-XGS, we can connect our data centers into a single, unified supercomputer, giving our customers access to giga-scale AI that will accelerate breakthroughs across every industry.”

    The Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform provides 1.6x greater bandwidth density than off-the-shelf Ethernet for multi-tenant, hyperscale AI factories — including the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It comprises NVIDIA Spectrum-X switches and NVIDIA ConnectX®-8 SuperNICs, delivering seamless scalability, ultralow latency and breakthrough performance for enterprises building the future of AI.

    Today’s announcement follows a drumbeat of networking innovation announcements from NVIDIA, including NVIDIA Spectrum-X and NVIDIA Quantum-X silicon photonics networking switches, which enable AI factories to connect millions of GPUs across sites while reducing energy consumption and operational costs.

  • Instagram hack spreads as multiple stars, including Adele, share Future’s Freebandz image

    Instagram hack spreads as multiple stars, including Adele, share Future’s Freebandz image

    Adele fans were left baffled this week when a strange post appeared on her Instagram: rapper Future holding the Freebandz emblem, accompanied by a jumbled string of characters. But the oddity wasn’t limited to the singer, her account was one of many affected by what appears to be a mass hacking incident.

    Reports confirmed that Instagram feeds belonging to celebrities such as Adele, Michael Jackson, and Tyla were all compromised in one sweeping attack. Each account posted identical images, a coin or logo bearing Future’s Freebandz branding, immediately raising alarm. These posts quickly triggered speculation that the accounts were hijacked to promote a new Freebandz memecoin.

    Instagram users were swift to notice the pattern. One post captured the bizarre wave of images, listing affected celebrities including Future himself, Adele, Michael Jackson, and Tyla. Many pointed out the surreal nature of the hack, with one user summarising it as “a FREEBANDZ memecoin promo” that hit multiple high-profile accounts at once.

    The posts disappeared within about 20 minutes of going live, including Adele’s. For a star who had remained silent on social media since late 2024, the timing and the bizarre content made the sighting all the more disconcerting. Fans responded with a mix of humour and concern. Some joked about future collabs, while others voiced fears about account security and the growing misuse of celebrity platforms for crypto-promotion.

    As of now, neither Adele’s team nor the other affected stars have commented publicly on the incident. In the meantime, the episode has sparked a broader conversation about digital safety, crypto scams, and how quickly celebrity profiles can be weaponized by hackers. Whether this was a coordinated attack or an automated breach, it stands as a vivid reminder of the vulnerabilities even the biggest names face online.

  • Lithium, Alzheimer Disease, and a Turning Point in Mental Health Care

    Lithium, Alzheimer Disease, and a Turning Point in Mental Health Care

    Alzheimer disease (AD) remains one of the greatest challenges in modern medicine. It is a black hole that consumes memory, independence, dignity, and time. Despite decades of research and over $42 billion invested since the 1990s,1 the failure rate associated with mainstream AD therapeutics has hovered near 100%.2 Even the newest interventions offer only modest delays in decline, not prevention or cure.

    On August 6, 2025, however, the conversation shifted. Nature published a groundbreaking paper, “Lithium Deficiency and the Onset of Alzheimer’s Disease,” from researchers in Boston and Chicago.3 Their findings have profound implications not only for AD research, but for the future of mental health care.

    Lithium: An Old Mineral, a New Frontier

    Lithium is one of the oldest elements in the universe—present in our soil, water, food chain, and the tissues of most vertebrate organisms.4,5 Since ancient times, it has been recognized for its stabilizing effects on mood.6,7 For more than a century, lithium carbonate has been a gold-standard treatment for bipolar disorder.8

    But lithium’s potential extends beyond bipolar illness. Epidemiological studies have long demonstrated that regions with higher natural lithium concentrations in drinking water have lower rates of suicide and dementia.9-17 Clinical trials, whether using high-dose pharmaceutical lithium or low-dose nutritional forms, have consistently shown neuroprotective effects—even in patients with AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).18-21

    In my clinical practice, I have spent over 30 years studying and applying low-dose lithium to support cognitive health, stabilize mood, and prevent suicide. I explored this in my book Nutritional Lithium: A Cinderella Story and in my 2024 Psychiatric Times article, “Low-Dose Lithium: A New Frontier in Mental Health Treatment.” At the time, many regarded these ideas with skepticism.

    The new Nature study validates what functional and integrative psychiatrists have observed for decades: lithium is a micronutrient that is absolutely essential for brain health.

    The Breakthrough Findings

    The research team behind the Nature study found that lithium levels in the brains of patients with MCI and AD were significantly lower than those of healthy controls. Even more striking, synapse-choking plaques of amyloid-beta peptides—1 of the 2 hallmark lesions of AD—were shown to bind lithium, further depleting levels in surrounding brain tissue.

    Animal studies later confirmed that lithium deficiency worsens the formation of amyloid plaques and tau tangles (intracellular “tangles” of tau protein are the second of the 2 hallmark AD brain lesions), accelerates memory loss, and impairs neuronal health.3 Conversely, restoring lithium—in, specifically, the form of low-dose lithium orotate—reduced plaques and tangles, preserved memory, and achieved near total prevention of age-related neurodegenerative changes. Importantly, these benefits were achieved without the adverse effects on kidney and thyroid function often associated with higher-dose lithium carbonate.

    A New Era in Psychiatry

    The implications here are profound. For decades, mainstream medicine has pursued “magic bullets” for AD, with disappointing results. The Nature study underscores that addressing nutritional deficiencies—in this case, lithium—may be equally or more important.

    As Bruce Yankner, MD, PhD, of Harvard Medical School noted, “What impresses me the most about lithium is the widespread effect it has on the various manifestations of Alzheimer’s. I really have not seen anything quite like it.”22

    This recognition is not about saying “I told you so” but rather about gratitude. Gratitude that science is catching up to what decades of research, functional psychiatry practice, and clinical observation have suggested: lithium, in safe, nutritional doses, is one of nature’s most powerful allies for mental wellness.

    My hope is that this achievement marks a turning point, where traditional and functional psychiatry converge around evidence-based, individualized care. Lithium’s story spans 13.8 billion years.4 Today, it opens into a new chapter—one filled with hope for patients, families, and the future of mental health.

    Dr Greenblatt is the chief medical officer of Psychiatry Redefined, an online educational platform for integrative and functional psychiatry.
