Paris Hilton Makes a Splash in St. Barths Family Getaway
13+ min ago (139+ words) Paris Hilton is showing off her 'sliving' spirit even at sea! The reality icon and entrepreneur was spotted in St. Barths on Saturday, enjoying a sun-soaked kayak ride with husband Carter Reum and one of their children during the family's luxury island getaway. Paris kept things stylishly practical in a chic long-sleeve wetsuit as the couple paddled through the crystal clear Caribbean water. The heiress didn't just stay dry on the kayak, she went full adventure mode. At one point, Paris slipped on scuba goggles and dunked her head into the sea, popping back up grinning as she cooled off. Carter stayed close by, helping navigate the kayak as the trio soaked up the warm weather and relaxed vibe of their tropical escape. Who needs a yacht when Paris can 'sliv' just as hard in a kayak?!...

Trump Tells Airlines to Treat Venezuela's Airspace as 'Closed"
58+ min ago (591+ words) Trump's abrupt instruction that the skies over Venezuela be treated as 'closed in its entirety' sent shockwaves through diplomatic and aviation channels on Nov. 29, 2025. In a Truth Social post, Mr Trump told 'Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers' to avoid Venezuelan airspace, offering no legal framework or operational details. The statement came days after the Federal Aviation Administration issued an advisory warning pilots to 'exercise caution' over Venezuela amid heightened military activity. Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, denounced the move as a 'colonialist threat' and said it had suspended repatriation flights. Trump's message appeared on his Truth Social account on Saturday, Nov. 29: 'To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.' The post contained no directive text, no enforcement mechanism, and no reference to international…...
Giza Launches First Phase of Tuk-Tuk Replacement With Micro Taxis
1+ hour, 14+ min ago (361+ words) The Giza Governorate has begun rolling out the first phase of its long-planned initiative to replace tuk-tuks with small, licensed taxis across several districts, according to local media. " The initiative is currently underway in Al-Haram, Al-Agouza, 6th of October City, and Hadayek October, with a second phase scheduled to follow in the coming days." Under the new system, drivers will be able to exchange their tuk-tuks for compact vehicles configured for narrow residential streets and designed to meet safety standards. According to officials, the replacement vehicles cost approximately EGP 200,000 (USD 4,000), which is less than the current price of a tuk-tuk that has climbed to around EGP 300,000 (USD 6,000 )." The new taxis will operate only within the district for which they obtain a permit. Each area has been assigned a designated vehicle color to easily identify its operating zone: green for Al-Agouza, yellow…...
China’s proposed power bank rules could ban most devices from flights
1+ hour, 39+ min ago (210+ words) China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has proposed sweeping new regulations for portable power banks, raising concerns among manufacturers and consumers. The draft document, open for public feedback until December 11, would require all power banks made in China to list their battery type, production date and recommended safe use duration. At the moment, domestic passengers can only carry power banks with China Compulsory Certification. This requirement has already led to confiscations of popular international models such as Apple's MagSafe battery pack. Products without the 3C mark cannot be sold in China at all. Until then, passengers can continue travelling with their 3C certified power banks. Once the new rules take effect, there will be a six to twelve month grace period to help the industry and consumers adjust. As the world's largest producer of power banks, China's decisions will have global…...
Disruption in A320 operations: Karnataka travel operators’ body warns of economic and employment crisis
2+ hour, 33+ min ago (199+ words) Published - November 30, 2025 07:41 pm IST - Bengaluru The Karnataka State Travel Operators Association (KSTOA) has cautioned that the ongoing disruption in Airbus A320 operations could unleash a major economic and employment crisis across the State's tourism sector if the situation continues for even 15 days. KSTOA expressed concern that State tourism revenues could fall sharply, hampering a fragile post-pandemic recovery that many operators are still struggling through. On Friday, Airbus stated that intense solar radiation could corrupt data critical to flight controls in several A320 family aircraft. The aircraft manufacturer warned that essential software modifications would lead to temporary operational disruptions. Following this, India's aviation regulator mandated that airlines ground A320 aircraft that had not completed the software update by Sunday morning. Major carriers then moved quickly to implement the fix across their fleets. The manufacturer's alert came after a JetBlue flight from Mexico to Newark…...

Breaking the Sound Barrier with AI: Real-Time Flight Simulation Arrives by Arvind Sundararajan
2+ hour, 43+ min ago (220+ words) Imagine designing a supersonic aircraft without ever stepping into a wind tunnel. Traditionally, simulating airflow at speeds nearing the sound barrier has been computationally prohibitive, requiring days or even weeks of supercomputer time. Now, artificial intelligence is poised to rewrite the rules, delivering near-instantaneous predictions of aerodynamic performance. The core concept is the neural surrogate model. This is a machine learning model trained on vast datasets of high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. Once trained, the surrogate can approximate the results of complex simulations in milliseconds, enabling real-time design exploration and optimization. This opens a new era in aerospace engineering. Instead of painstakingly running simulations for every design iteration, engineers can now rapidly prototype and evaluate different wing shapes, control surfaces, and flight conditions, all within a fraction of the time. Beyond aircraft design, this technology could revolutionize weather forecasting…...

Brisbane Airport relaxes wind rules in bid to reduce aircraft noise
2+ hour, 45+ min ago (503+ words) More flights in and out of Brisbane Airport will be directed over Moreton Bay during an 18-month trial to relax tailwind restrictions for aircraft, reducing flight noise over city suburbs. Complaints of increased aircraft noise have dogged the airport since the new parallel runway " now officially referred to as the western runway " opened to air traffic in 2020. Brisbane Airport head of airspace management Tim Boyle said he hoped the trial, which had been formulated through consultation with airlines, would ultimately lead to more aircraft movement over Moreton Bay rather than the suburbs. A United Airlines flight arriving from Los Angeles, after descending over Moreton Bay.Credit: Brisbane Airport "Safety is always our top priority at Brisbane Airport," he said. "Passengers won't notice any difference, but each time a pilot chooses an over-the-water departure path, it reduces the impact on the…...
