U.S. undergarments maker Hanesbrands has agreed to a takeover by Canada’s Gildan Activewear in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $4.4 billion, the companies said on Wednesday.

Shares of Hanesbrands fell 6% in premarket trading after surging as much as 40% a day earlier, when news of the deal first emerged.

The Financial Times first reported on the potential deal on Tuesday, followed by other media outlets, including Reuters.

The deal caps a turbulent chapter for Hanesbrands, marked by years of underinvestment, heavy debt and a string of acquisitions that produced mixed results since it was spun off from conglomerate Sara Lee in 2006.

Gildan will pay about $6 per Hanesbrands share, representing a 24% premium to Monday’s close and implying an equity value of $2.2 billion.

The combination is expected to double Gildan’s revenues and enhance its market position by leveraging Hanes’ strong brand presence in activewear, according to the statement.

Sales have plunged over the last three years amid stiff competition in the athleisure market and cooling demand, but cost-reduction efforts and supply-chain improvements lifted its margins in the past year.

Hanesbrands’ stock has lost 40% of its value so far this year and has shed roughly 86% of its value since its all-time high hit in April 2015, as of Monday’s close.

The transaction is expected to close in late 2025 or early 2026.

Carlberg keeps it in the family as Junior ERC title awaits

Swede Carlberg has raced into a 37-point lead with two events remaining after winning the last three rounds of the Hankook-supplied series. If results go his way on Barum Czech Rally Zlín, he will become the 12th Junior ERC champion.

But with regular wingman Jørgen Eriksen skipping this weekend’s sealed-surface event to await the birth of his second daughter, Carlberg will count on father Torbjörn’s co-driving skills on a rally he’s contesting for the first time.

Swede Carlberg is on the birink of becoming Junior ERC champion

Of his title prospects, 25-year-old Carlberg, who drives for the ADAC Opel Rally Junior Team, reckons a top-eight finish on either Barum Czech Rally Zlín or Croatia Rally will be enough for championship glory, regardless of the results his rivals achieve.

“From what we have counted Jaspar Vaher is the biggest threat after removing one event,” said Carlberg. “If Vaher wins both remaining rounds I need to finish top eight in either Barum or Croatia to win.

“I know that there is a lot at stake this weekend, but I actually feel very calm. I have done a good job thus far this season and I don’t intend on changing anything for Barum. I will approach it like any other rally. Of course, we might start to look at the championship standings coming to the end of Sunday, but we will start the rally with the same approach as always: to win the rally.”

Former Junior ERC star Kristensson to the rescue

Calle Carlberg has acknowledged the key role two-time Junior ERC event winner Tom Kristensson has performed in keeping his championship challenge on track.

Kristensson graduated to Junior ERC as his prize for winning the ADAC Opel Rally Cup in 2017 with Carlberg following in his wheel tracks by taking the electric version in 2023.

Currently without a regular drive, Kristensson has been helping his younger Swede behind the scenes, as Carlberg explained: “Finding a budget to drive is always a struggle. Even after such a successful season it’s difficult. Tom has helped me two times before at the last round when times have been tough. Both in 2021 and 2023. I am super thankful to him and his sponsors for doing this once again for Barum.

“He is not only a good friend and mentor, he is very important for my career. The amount of help and knowledge that I have gotten through him is invaluable. It has allowed me to be in the situation that I am in today.”

Croatia Rally set to host ERC4 title decider

While Calle Carlberg can become Junior ERC champion as early as this weekend’s Barum Czech Rally Zlín, the FIA ERC4 Championship is unlikely to be decided until the Croatia Rally finale in October.

Although next month’s JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion isn’t part of the Junior ERC schedule, it is an ERC4 qualifier, meaning there are still three scoring opportunities remaining to bank the FIA category title for Rally4 and Rally5 cars.

All Junior ERC drivers are eligible for the FIA ERC4 Championship with Carlberg currently 39 points ahead of Ioan Lloyd. Peugeot 208 Rally4 driver Lloyd is set to contest the remaining three rounds of the season, while Opel Corsa Rally4-powered Carlberg is only due to compete in Czech Republic and Croatia.

Ugly, mortifying – and addictive? Tim Dowling’s week in the world’s most divisive shoes | Men’s shoes

Back in January, Vogue made a bold headline prediction: “This Freaky-Chic Shoe Will Be Everywhere in 2025”. It had already been spotted on models and rap artists, and all over TikTok and Instagram. By summer, Grazia declared that “The split-toe trend that’s been quietly bubbling for years just hit the mainstream”, citing shopping app Lyst, which named the shoe as one of its top five most-searched items.

The freaky-chic shoe in question is the toe shoe – a lightweight, thin-soled trainer with separate, articulated toes. They come in a number of brands and styles, and while they may be popular, I can safely say they are not “everywhere”. Walking in them in public every day for a week, I never ran across another person wearing them. Anywhere.

The original toe shoe is the Vibram FiveFingers, which has actually been with us since 2006. The model I’ve chosen, the V-Alpha Hydro, has a 3mm rubber outsole and a 2mm foam insole, offering a close-to-barefoot walking experience. They’re primarily designed for outdoor training, hiking, barefoot running and general fitness, but they are not designed to look cool. The five separate pockets allow one’s toes to splay out more naturally, if not more attractively. Not for nothing did Vogue call FiveFingers “the fitness world’s most divisive shoe”.

Vibram is the market leader in a complex footwear category – not all toe shoes are barefoot shoes, and not many barefoot shoes have articulated toes. Some have only a separate big toe, for a more cloven-hoofed look. But they’re all meant to represent an improvement on traditional footwear.

The putative benefits listed for my FiveFingers include “zero heel drop keeping you naturally planted to the ground”, “fantastic proprioception and feedback from the feet to the brain” and “as much natural foot movement as possible”.

The FiveFingers may provide a more natural fit, but that doesn’t mean they fit naturally. My toes don’t automatically slide into their corresponding pouches; they have to be coaxed and prodded in. And yes, if you’re going to wear socks, you’ll need toe socks, adding another layer of complexity to getting dressed in the morning. Even after I think I have my left shoe all the way on, a cursory squeeze of each toe pocket reveals that the second one along is empty. Where did that toe go? It turns out it’s sharing a pouch with its nextdoor neighbour.

When both shoes are finally on properly, I take them for a brief trial spin. At first, I feel like a circus clown. My splayed toes look like two hands of miniature bananas, and the rubber soles slap against the pavement like duck’s feet. New wearers are advised to transition gradually from regular shoes, because it’s a different style of walking (or running, if that’s your intention). After a cautious 50 metres or so, I settle into a more barefoot stride – mid-foot strike rather than heel strike, and less noisy. Meanwhile, I’m very in touch with the ground beneath me: my toes grip the pavement; I can feel every tiny bump and crack.

The overwhelming sensation, however, is one of horrifying self-consciousness – these are very weird-looking shoes. No one comments as I walk down a busy shopping street, and after a while I begin to hope no one has noticed – after all, I don’t tend to notice other people’s shoes when I’m out and about. Then I look down and think: yeah, but I would notice these.

Any remaining hope that my toe shoes are unremarkable is dispelled as soon as I walk into my own kitchen, where my middle son is sitting at the table.

“What the hell are you wearing?” he says.

“On my feet, you mean?” I say.

‘The fact that I have them on keeps catching me by surprise.’ Photograph: Alicia Canter/The Guardian

“Yes, on your feet,” he says.

“The hot girl shoe of summer,” I say.

My oldest son walks in with his girlfriend.

“My God, what are those?” she says.

“The future,” I say.

“They’re hideous,” he says.

“They come in other colours,” I say.

“What are they like to walk in?” she says.

“Honestly?” I say. “They’re exhausting.”

This is true: after just a few hours my feet are incredibly tired – not sore or achy, just bone-weary. It takes three days to build up enough tolerance to wear them from morning until night. After that, I hardly notice them. The fact that I have them on keeps catching me by surprise: hey! I think. I’m driving in toe shoes! I’m in a supermarket in toe shoes! I am at one with the earth, intensely aware of tiny changes in the terrain – the grout between the tiles, the dry grass poking between my toes. I’m also getting used to the idea that everyone – everyone – notices.

My wife is not happy, though, especially when she sees me wearing them just as we’re about to set off for a restaurant.

“You said a week,” she says.

“Today is a week,” I say.

“You really don’t have to wear them tonight,” she says. “You’re just being perverse.”

The truth is, toe shoes are a little bit addictive: comfortable and light, while also offering a Spider-Man-level of grip. They’re also so difficult to put on I’m reluctant to take them off.

Once we’re in the restaurant, the shoes stay under the table, and I feel perfectly normal. It’s only as we’re leaving, when I pass a waitress and smile, and she smiles back and looks down, and I see her face change, that I know I can’t go on like this.

The next day, as I’m posing for Alicia the photographer in my local park, a man comes running over to stop his dog getting into the shot. He apologises, and then looks over at me: a middle-aged man sitting on a bench in the watery morning light.

“Is it about the shoes?” he says.

“Of course it’s about the shoes,” I say.

Realme GT 8 Series Launch Date Confirmed, Expected to Offer Galaxy S25-Level Specs Under PKR 200k

Realme has officially confirmed that its upcoming GT 8 flagship series will debut in October, with company Vice President Wang Wei announcing the launch window. Leaks suggest the new lineup could rival the Samsung Galaxy S25, yet likely carry a significantly lower price tag, potentially under PKR 200,000 in Pakistan.

The base Realme GT 8 is expected to feature a compact 6.6-inch flat display with a large 7,000 mAh battery, considerably larger than the Galaxy S25’s 4,000 mAh cell. It may also pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, an anticipated performance upgrade over the Galaxy S25’s Snapdragon 8 Elite.

The GT 8 Pro could go even further, with reports indicating a high-resolution OLED display, 100W fast charging, an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, and a 200 MP periscope telephoto lens, approaching flagship-level photography and functionality

In comparison, the Galaxy S25 sports a refined 6.2-inch FHD+ LTPO AMOLED display, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, supported by 12 GB RAM, and a triple-lens setup (50 MP wide, 12 MP ultrawide, and 10 MP telephoto). Battery remains modest at 4,000 mAh with 25W charging.

Moreover, the Galaxy S25 is equipped with next-gen Galaxy AI features like on-device AI editing, the Gemini assistant, and a sleek One UI 7 interface, backed by seven years of software support.

If Realme can deliver next-gen chipset performance, generous battery capacity, polished display, advanced optics, and rapid charging, all below PKR 200,000, it may present a compelling alternative to the Galaxy S25 for Pakistani consumers.

Astronomers have revealed the ‘Eye of Sauron’ in deep space

A new scientific breakthrough blends science fiction imagery with cutting-edge astrophysics. Astronomers have captured a new image of a distant cosmic jet that resembles the mythical ‘Eye of Sauron’

This deep-space object, known as PKS 1424+240 is a type of active galaxy powered by a supermassive black hole, and it may hold the key to understanding some of the most extreme particle accelerators in the Universe.

Published in the Astronomy & Astrophysics Letters, the discovery explains how this slow-moving object has been one of the brightest sources of high-energy gamma rays and neutrinos for over a decade.

PKS 1424+240 has always confused astronomers, it was known as the brightest neutrino-emitting blazar in the sky, as confirmed by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, and also radiated intensely in high-energy gamma rays. However, its jet appeared sluggish in radio observations, a surprising trait, since fast-moving jets were previously thought to be necessary to produce such intense energy outputs.

Now, using 15 years of data from the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), researchers have created the most detailed image of this jet to date. What they found was a near-perfect toroidal (doughnut-shaped) magnetic field structure, with the PKS 1424+240 jet pointed almost directly at Earth.

Alignment and illusion

This rare alignment, with the PKS 1424+240 jet aimed straight at us, significantly boosts its apparent brightness due to the effects of special relativity. This phenomenon, known as relativistic beaming, amplifies the jet’s emission by a factor of 30 or more. At the same time, because of projection effects, the jet appears to move more slowly than it does. This optical illusion had previously masked the true energetic nature of the jet.

Thanks to this fortunate geometry, scientists were able to look directly into the core of the blazar’s jet, mapping its magnetic field in unprecedented detail. The results point to a tightly wound magnetic structure that plays a crucial role in launching and focusing the jet, and may be the key to accelerating particles to extreme energies.

A milestone for multi messenger astronomy

The discovery confirms that supermassive black holes not only accelerate electrons but also protons, leading to the production of high-energy neutrinos. This finding strengthens the connection between relativistic jets, magnetic fields, and the emission of neutrinos, a cornerstone of the growing field of multi-messenger astronomy, which combines light, particles, and gravitational waves to study the Universe.

This breakthrough is a major success for the MOJAVE program, a decades-long initiative using the VLBA to study active galactic nuclei and their powerful jets. It also marks a key milestone for MuSES (Multi-messenger Studies of Energetic Sources), an international project dedicated to understanding how extreme cosmic accelerators work.

Technology behind the image

The VLBA consists of ten radio antennas across the United States, including Hawaii and St. Croix. By linking them through a technique called Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), astronomers can create images with clear resolution, capable of seeing details smaller than a milliarcsecond, or roughly the apparent size of a car’s headlights as seen from the Moon.

Sonus Faber launches the ultimate £100k stereo speakers that are ideal for Lamborghini owners

If, like me, you a) used to be into cars, b) had at least one poster of a Lamborghini on your wall growing up and c) now find yourself immersed in the world of hi-fi, Sonus Faber’s latest launch could be for you. All you might be missing is d) the funds to make the purchase.

The Italian speaker brand already has a relationship with Lamborghini, which saw an exclusive sound system launch for its £450,000 / $600,000 Revuelto supercar

And now you can partner your car and high-end hi-fi (assuming you own one) with a pair of matching floorstanders in the shape of the Il Cremonese Ex3me – Automobili Lamborghini Edition.

These speakers build on the original Il Cremonese Ex3me but have been, according to Sonus Faber, “reimagined with bespoke technical and design flourishes that embody the ethos of both brands”.

This includes the angular five-sided cabinet, finishing touches in Corsa-Tex® material and carbon fibre, and use of the Automobili Lamborghini shield logo.

Inside each speaker, you’ll find a Beryllium tweeter, a 180mm natural fibre cone midrange driver, twin 180mm woofers and a re-engineered crossover network designed to improve “clarity, phase precision and reduce the noise floor”.

As you’d probably expect, the speaker is ultra-exclusive and carries a pricetag to match. The original Il Cremonese Ex3me retails for £60,000 / $75,000, but this limited model will set you back a cool £100,000 / $130,000.

Only 50 pairs will be made, with each one individually numbered, and you get to choose from five “iconic” Lamborghini finishes: Giallo Countach, Arancio Egon, Blu Marinus Matte, Verde Mercurius, and Nero Nemesis Matte.

Each unit will be made to order, and you can expect a minimum lead time of three months from placing the order to receiving your new speakers.

While you’re waiting for delivery, I’m sure the sound of your V10 or V12 Lamborghini will keep you occupied…
