  • Why it’s great at almost eight in the ERC

    Why it’s great at almost eight in the ERC

    Measuring 7.61 kilometres in length, the Komárov test dwarfs BAUHAUS Royal Rally of Scandinavia’s Qualifying Stage, previously the ERC’s longest of 2025 at 6.70 kilometres.

    New rules for this season require the Qualifying Stage to run for a minimum distance of 6.0 kilometres to give more importance to this crucial element of an ERC event, particularly in light of the extremely close competition on show.

    Getting under way at 09:31 local time on Friday 15 August, Barum Czech Rally Zlín’s Qualifying Stage covers what organisers have described as a “legendary section from Komárov to Pohořelice” last used four years ago.

    Barum Czech Rally Zlín organising committee chair Miloslav Regner explained: “We are returning to the classic Komárov stage with the traditional spectator spot on the village square in Pohořelice. The reason for the new FIA regulation regarding the length of the qualification is so that the drivers have a chance to correct any mistakes and are not disadvantaged when determining the starting order by this special stage. With a length of almost eight kilometres, this is a full-fledged special stage with a number of nice spectator spots to watch the passing of the competition cars.”

    Who will shoot and score on Barum Czech Rally Zlin’s Qualifying Stage?

    Barum Czech Rally Zlín’s Qualifying Stage begins with “a climb that combines technical section with fast bends”, runs near a shooting range and finishes close to a football pitch.

    A stage description from the event organisers reads: “The start of the Qualifying Stage is behind the turnoff from the main road between Napajedla and Topolná. In the opening meters, there is a climb that combines technical section with fast bends. After passing through the village of Komárov, the crews are experiencing a fast descent on high-quality asphalt with lots of corners. This is followed by an interesting passage in the forest area, varied with a number of demanding turns and hairpins near the Hájenka recreation center and the local shooting range. After passing another climb, there is a fast descent and difficult turns around the Leopoldov farm. Immediately after arriving in the village of Pohořelice, there is a new section on a purpose-built road between houses, followed by a difficult junction over the edge between houses, a narrow passage through the village and a series of bends in a spectator area on the village square, including a right hairpin. The finish line is located in the left turn, the stop point is about two hundred meters away by the football field”.

  • If You’re Nostalgic for a Place, It’s Probably Somewhere Near Water

    If You’re Nostalgic for a Place, It’s Probably Somewhere Near Water

    Image credits: Kelly Dbv.

    We’re all nostalgic for some things. Oftentimes, it’s a place we’ve been to years ago, maybe during childhood. Perhaps it’s a vacation spot or some town you really enjoyed. A new study published, however, has a surprising finding: people are more likely to feel nostalgia for “blue places” — seasides, lakeshores, and riverbanks. And that nostalgia, researchers found, can offer real psychological benefits.

    The geography of memory

    Researchers from universities in the UK, the US, and South Korea surveyed over 1,000 participants in the U.S. and U.K., asking them to describe places they felt nostalgic about. The study was aptly titled Searching for Ithaca, as it draws on the deep cultural link between memory and place. Just as Odysseus longed for his home on the island of Ithaca, modern individuals often pine for places steeped in personal meaning.

    “The idea that places serve as an emotional anchor is not new. Nearly 3,000 years ago, Homer wrote of Ulysses’ longing to return to his homeland, Ithaca. We wanted to understand what makes certain places more likely to evoke nostalgia than others. What are the physical and psychological features that give a place its nostalgic pull?” says Dr Elisabeta Militaru, who led the research during her PhD at Cambridge’s Psychology Department.

    Across the board, “blue places” dominated the nostalgic landscape. About a third of all memories involved bodies of water. In contrast, only 10% of the nostalgic places cited were forests, fields, or agricultural areas. Blue places were consistently viewed as more emotionally meaningful than either green natural spaces or grey urban environments.

    “We expected people to be more often nostalgic for green places since so many studies emphasise the psychological benefits of green, natural environments. We were surprised to find that blue places are the hallmark feature of place nostalgia.”

    “Our findings add to the growing evidence that blue places are associated with increased psychological well-being,” Militaru says.

    So, what makes blue places so memorable?

    Where our blue is

    One explanation is their visual structure. Blue places tend to be brighter, more saturated in color, and higher in contrast than green or grey environments. These visual properties are known to evoke emotional responses and can enhance the sense of aesthetic pleasure.

    Militaru also points to the potential power of a landscape’s ‘fractal property’. In other words, elements around seas and rivers tend to have elements that repeat themselves visually..

    “Past research suggests that landscapes with moderate fractal structure, like coastlines, tend to generate positive emotions,” continues Militaru. “People don’t like extremely chaotic outlines of the kind you might see in the middle of the forest, where you don’t get a sense of openness. People also don’t like too little complexity. With an urban skyline, for instance, there are very few breaks in the scene’s pattern.”

    Seaside, rivers, and lakes may give us the optimal visual complexity, she says, but this is still speculative.

    There’s also a special feeling often associated to blue places. If you don’t live by the coast, the odds are you go to the sea on vacation. Meanwhile, cities are all … just cities.

    “It’s important to note that urban places are more often classed as being ‘ordinary’ than nostalgia-inducing”, clarifies Militaru.

    However, cities (especially unusual ones or those we have an emotional connection to) can also trigger nostalgia. Even when cities triggered nostalgia, however, they did not evoke the same warmth. Instead, they often represented base-rate memories: places where many people live, and thus, where many memories are naturally made. But it was the blue places that stood out emotionally, even though they were often farther away geographically.

    Why this matters

    The researchers didn’t stop at geography — they explored the emotional consequences of remembering a beloved place. In three experiments, people who reflected on a nostalgic place felt more socially connected, more self-confident, more authentic, and more optimistic about life.

    In other words, nostalgia seems to bring out the good in us.

    “Nostalgia brings places into focus, much like a magnifying glass. Meaningful places tend to be physically far away from us, yet nostalgia brings them back into focus and, in so doing, connects our past self to our present and future self,” Militaru explains.

    The findings have practical implications, especially for urban planning and mental health. The study suggests that preserving access to blue spaces — lakes, rivers, beaches — can be an important public health strategy.

    “Communities need to be involved in urban planning decisions implemented in their neighbourhoods. Only then can we identify the local landmarks that need to be preserved,” Militaru says.

  • Pomellato Names C-pop Star Roy Wang Global Brand Ambassador

    Pomellato Names C-pop Star Roy Wang Global Brand Ambassador

    Pomellato has named Roy Wang, a Gen Z C-pop idol, its latest global brand ambassador.

    The 24-year-old pop star, who made his debut as a member of the Chinese boy band TFboys, counts more than 95.9 million followers on Instagram, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and Weibo combined.

    Wang joins “Emily In Paris” star Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as a face of the Milan-based jewelry house, which is controlled by Kering.

    “Roy Wang embodies the Pomellato spirit — bold yet refined, contemporary yet timeless,” Boris Barboni, Pomellato’s chief marketing and product officer, said in a statement.

    “His artistic vision and commitment to positive change resonate deeply with our philosophy of unconventional elegance,” Barboni added.

    “Growing up, I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of tradition and innovation — something Pomellato captures brilliantly,” Wang said in the same statement, who was particularly drawn to the brand expression of “authenticity and creative freedom.”

    “This partnership feels natural because we share the same vision: empowering people to embrace their unique path while respecting the beauty of timeless design,” added Wang.

    The announcement was accompanied by a campaign showing Wang wearing pieces from the jeweler’s Iconica collection, one deeply rooted in its Milanese modernist design heritage.

    Wang’s official portraits for Pomellato were lensed by Chen Man, one of China‘s most influential female photographers. Chen, dubbed “China’s answer to Annie Leibovitz,” initially worked with Pomellato on its first exhibition in Shanghai last year.

    According to Pomellato, the announcement was timed to coincide with Wang’s third nationwide concert tour. Wang will become the youngest artist to hold a concert at the Beijing National Stadium, also known as Bird’s Nest.

    This is Wang’s first fine jewelry collaboration. Wang has previously worked with the jewelry house Chopard, the Swiss brand Bally and, most recently, attended Miu Miu‘s fall 2025 runway show in Paris.

    Among the brand’s former Chinese ambassadors are Liu Tuning, a singer and actress, and Yao Chen, a Chinese actress.

  • How to set up Calibre on Mac

    How to set up Calibre on Mac

    Turn your Mac into a personal e-book cloud with Calibre, the surprisingly powerful — and totally free — tool for building cross-platform and web-accessible digital library you completely control.

    Calibre may not win any design awards, but it’s one of the most powerful tools for managing digital books. It’s also completely free — a breath of fresh air when everything else seems to come with a mandatory software subscription.

    Originally built as a personal e-book organizer and file format converter, Calibre does far more than store files. It includes a content server that turns your library into a web-accessible collection you can use from anywhere.

    That means with a few minutes of setup, you can turn your Mac into your own private e-book cloud. Here’s how to do it — – and why it might be worth your time.

    Why you might want to set up your own online book library

    Most major e-book platforms, like Apple Books, Kindle, and Kobo, aren’t exactly “open” platforms. If you’ve collected books in multiple formats, prefer to store files locally, or simply want more control over where you read, those platforms feel extremely restrictive.

    So, while you could transfer your beloved books from device to device, that seems, at best, an inelegant solution. Making your own personal library, however, comes with tons of perks, such as:

    • Easily access your library from any device, including browsers, tablets, smartphones, and more
    • Take full control over your metadata, allowing you to organize your books however you want
    • Permanent backups mean you can store locally or on an external drive
    • Wide format support, which you won’t get from traditional storefronts

    Laying the groundwork for your e-book library

    Before you get started, you’ll want to have a few things on hand. We suggest the following:

    • A Mac — both Intel and Silicon are supported
    • A stable internet connection that you have control over
    • E-books in a variety of formats like EPUB, PDF, and MOBI
    • Calibre already downloaded
    • An iPhone, iPad, or for that matter, just about any smartphone or tablet made in the last 10 years

    Optionally, you can also make sure your iPad or iPhone has a compatible e-reader app like Marvin, KyBook, or even Apple Books.

    Now that you’ve got everything on hand, we can get started with the nitty gritty.

    First, go ahead and install Calibre on your Mac. Upon the first launch, Calibre will ask you where you want to store your library — this will probably be a dedicated folder on your Mac, but it might also be an external drive.

    Next, you’ll want to add your e-books to Calibre. Calibre supports a wide range of formats, like:

    • EPUB
    • PDF
    • DOCX
    • TXT
    • AZW3
    • MOBI
    • … and more!

    For the complete list of formats Calibre supports, as well as its export capabilities, you can check out the Calibre FAQ here.

    We suggest having a dedicated book folder, or folders

    Adding files to Calibre is easy — you can either drag-and-drop or point Calibre to the folder(s) where your books reside.

    Helpful tip: Before you set up your server, take a little time to convert your books with the “Convert Books” tool to the formats most widely supported by your devices. EPUB is a safe bet for the widest compatibility, while many e-readers, like Kindle, can use MOBI.

    Enabling the Calibre Content Server

    Now that you’ve got Calibre installed and your library properly converted, it’s time to take it online. You can do that pretty easily.

    In the top toolbar, click the Connect/share button. Then, click “Start Content server.”

    And that’s it. You’re broadcasting your local, web-based version of your library. If you want to check it out, just head to http://localhost:8080 on any browser on your local network.

    This setup works well for reading at home, where everything stays on your local network. To access the content server, your devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi as your Mac.

    There are ways, of course, to make your library available anywhere.

    Optional: Make your Calibre library accessible over the internet

    If you want to be able to access your library anywhere, you’ll have to do a bit more work. The process differs from device to device, but the (very) basic steps are as follows:

    1. Find out the external IP of your computer; we suggest heading to What is My IP Address
    2. Enable port forwarding on your router to forward the port 8080 to the computer
    3. Ensure that the Calibre server is allowed through firewalls and anti-virus programs

    For the more network-aware, you don’t need to leave port 8080 forwarded. Depending on your router, it’s easy to map a different incoming port, say, 32120 to port 8080 on your server hardware.

    Then, to access your server when you’re away from home, just enter your home IP address followed by:8080. It should look like http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080.

    Calibre points out that you can use a service like No-IP, which can help you create an easy-to-remember address instead of remembering your IP address which can change at the whim of your service provider, compounded by power outages. Of course, you could always just bookmark your Calibre address, too.

    We suggest checking out Calibre’s how-to guide if you’re interested in more advanced options, like integrating the Calibre content server into another server.

    Accessing your Calibre server on your iPhone or iPad

    Now that you’ve got everything all set up, you can access your library from your iPad, iPhone, or other Mac computers.

    Smartphone screen displaying Calibre app with a library selection, showing three book covers labeled 'Newly added' on a purple background.
    Browsing your own Calibre server on iPhone
    1. Open Safari on your device
    2. Tap the book you wish to read
    3. Read it in browser, or
    4. Use the Open In… menu to send the files to Apple Books, Files, or your third-party reader of choice

    While it’s not the prettiest program to look at, Calibre is a fantastic option for anyone with a much-loved collection of e-books and PDFs. It’s easy to use, and even better: it runs reliably on macOS with very minimal configuration.

  • ‘Angry’ Mariah Carey reflects on past marriage to Tommy Mottola

    ‘Angry’ Mariah Carey reflects on past marriage to Tommy Mottola



    Mariah Carey on marriage to Tommy Mottola

    Mariah Carey is opening up once again about a chapter of her life that continues to stir deep emotions. 

    In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK for their September 2025 issue, the Grammy-winning icon reflected on her marriage to music executive Tommy Mottola, and how she has worked through the complex feelings that come with that part of her past.

    “Sometimes I feel angry about that time, but I think I’ve made peace with it, in any case, I vowed I’d stop talking about it,” Carey, 56, shared candidly. 

    She also touched on how humour plays a crucial role in how she copes with difficult memories. 

    “Humor is my release, and people who know me know that,” Carey explained. 

    “I’ll make little jokes about what happened because otherwise I could make every day a sob story. It’s a coping mechanism, but it’s in my nature to laugh.”

    Carey and Mottola’s relationship began in 1991 when he was leading Sony Music.

    They married two years later in a highly publicized ceremony and officially divorced in 1998. During their marriage, Carey says she often felt creatively restricted. 

    “I wanted to do more R&B, more urban music, and any time I would bring that up, it would get shot down,” she told the magazine. “It wasn’t that I didn’t like the music I was making – I just felt there was more inside me that I wanted to release.”

    Her perspective echoes comments she made back in 2019 during a Cosmopolitan interview, where she described the experience as extremely controlled. 

    “You might want to picture a child bride,” she said at the time, adding, “There was no ­freedom for me as a human being. It was almost like being a prisoner.”

    Now, with her new album Here for It All set to release on September 26, Carey is moving forward both personally and professionally. 

    Two tracks from the upcoming album, Type Dangerous and Sugar Sweet, are already available, giving fans a taste of what’s to come from an artist who continues to evolve, reflect, and reclaim her voice.

  • Exclusive-Nvidia orders 300,000 H20 chips from TSMC due to robust China demand, sources say

    Exclusive-Nvidia orders 300,000 H20 chips from TSMC due to robust China demand, sources say

    By Liam Mo, Brenda Goh and Karen Freifeld

    BEIJING/SHANGHAI/NEW YORK (Reuters) -Nvidia placed orders for 300,000 H20 chipsets with contract manufacturer TSMC last week, two sources said, with one of them adding that strong Chinese demand had led the U.S. firm to change its mind about just relying on its existing stockpile.

    The Trump administration this month allowed Nvidia to resume sales of H20 graphics processing units (GPUs) to China, reversing an effective ban imposed in April designed to keep advanced AI chips out of Chinese hands due to national security concerns.

    Nvidia developed the H20 specifically for the Chinese market after U.S. export restrictions on its other AI chipsets were imposed in late 2023. The H20 does not have as much computing power as Nvidia’s H100 or its new Blackwell series sold in markets outside China.

    The new orders with Taiwan’s TMSC would add to existing inventory of 600,000 to 700,000 H20 chips, according to the sources who were not authorised to speak to media and declined to be identified.

    For comparison purposes, Nvidia sold around 1 million H20 chips in 2024, according to U.S. research firm SemiAnalysis.

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said during a trip to Beijing this month that the level of H20 orders it received would determine whether production would begin again, adding that any restart to the supply chain would take nine months.

    The Information reported after Huang’s trip that Nvidia had told customers it had limited H20 stocks available and it had no immediate plans to restart wafer production for the GPU.

    Nvidia needs to obtain export licenses from the U.S. government to ship the H20 chips. It said in mid-July it had been assured by authorities that it would get them soon.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has yet to approve those licenses, one of the sources and a third source said.

    Nvidia on Monday declined to comment on the new orders or the status of its license applications. TSMC declined to comment. The U.S. Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Nvidia has asked Chinese companies interested in purchasing Nvidia H20 chips to submit new documentation including order volume forecasts from clients, said one of the sources and a fourth source.

    KEY PRODUCT IN US-SINO TRADE WAR

    The Trump administration said the resumption of H20 sales was part of negotiations with China over rare earth magnets – elements essential for many industries and which Beijing had limited exports of as trade war tensions escalated.

    The decision drew bipartisan condemnation from U.S. legislators who are worried that giving China access to the H20 will impede U.S. efforts to maintain its lead in AI technology.
