I never liked playing darts, but I did a complete 180 with this auto-scoring system. This gadget has ignited my newfound love of the old pub favorite. It’s a light ring with four hi-def cameras that slots onto your board. Connect with the DartCounter app via Wi-Fi and you get effortless automatic scoring with an announcer calling your points and telling you what you need to check out.I’ve been testing the Target Darts Omni Auto Scoring System for the last few weeks, playing locally on my own and with family, and playing the odd match online. It’s a pricey system,…

Defense attorneys for a Minnesota man convicted in December of assaulting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross are seeking access to investigative files related to the killing of Renee Nicole Good, after learning Ross was the same officer who shot and killed her during a targeted operation in Minneapolis last month.Attorneys for Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala asked a federal judge on Friday to order prosecutors to turn over training records as well as investigative files related to Ross, the ICE agent who killed Good on January 7 during Operation Metro Surge and was also injured in a June 2025 incident…

A SEBI-registered investment adviser (RIA) is a financial professional licensed by SEBI to help you plan and manage your investments the right way. Their role is to understand your goals, risk profile, and overall situation, and then guide you so your money decisions actually support the life you want. In exchange, they charge you a transparent, pre-agreed fee instead of earning commissions on product sales. Under SEBI regulations, RIAs can charge you either a fixed rupee fee or a fee linked to the assets they advise on, within prescribed caps and conditions. In practice, this means two families with very…

Anthropic is locked in a paradox: Among the top AI companies, it’s the most obsessed with safety and leads the pack in researching how models can go wrong. But even though the safety issues it has identified are far from resolved, Anthropic is pushing just as aggressively as its rivals toward the next, potentially more dangerous, level of artificial intelligence. Its core mission is figuring out how to resolve that contradiction.Last month, Anthropic released two documents that both acknowledged the risks associated with the path it’s on and hinted at a route it could take to escape the paradox. “The…

January 2026 opened with sharply contrasting market signals. While 2025 ended under the weight of oversupply concerns and falling prices, the new year quickly introduced renewed volatility driven by geopolitical risk premiums, winter demand dynamics, and tightening near-term crude balances. Across crude, products, and storage economics, January revealed a market caught between structural surplus expectations for 2026 and short-term disruptions that continue to support prices. For tank terminals, the month reinforced the importance of flexibility in an environment where sentiment can shift rapidly. 1. Crude Markets: Strong Monthly Rally Masks Structural Weakness Brent crude staged a notable recovery during January,…

A team of geologists has found for the first time evidence that two ancient, continent-sized, ultrahot structures hidden beneath the Earth have shaped the planet’s magnetic field for the past 265 million years.These two masses, known as large low-shear-velocity provinces (LLSVPs), are part of the catalog of the planet’s most enormous and enigmatic objects. Current estimates calculate that each one is comparable in size to the African continent, although they remain buried at a depth of 2,900 kilometers.Low-lying surface vertical velocity (LLVV) regions form irregular areas of the Earth’s mantle, not defined blocks of rock or metal as one might…

The Rhine barge freight market during 26–30 January transitioned from a calm and operationally constrained start into an increasingly quiet, sideways market as the week progressed. While earlier January periods were dominated by falling water levels and intake restrictions, this week marked a shift in hydrological conditions, with improving water levels easing pressure on barge loadability, particularly toward the end of the week. As a result, freight rates largely stabilized, and market activity declined sharply as January contract volumes were finalized and charterers postponed new fixing into February. 1. Freight Rates: Stable Across the Board, With Localized Adjustments Early week:…

There comes a time when we decide to grow our money or plan for a secure future. And one of the first thoughts that comes to mind is investments. Making investments in the right way can help you beat inflation, earn periodic payouts, and grow your wealth over time. It helps you reach your goals faster. But making investment decisions is tough. It demands strategic timing. You have to choose from an ocean of options available. Most importantly, you have to pick what suits you best. Let’s not forget about fighting our emotional biases. And here’s where an Investment planner…

Progress in any organization depends on people—their priorities, incentives, concerns, and willingness to align around shared goals. Yet stakeholder management and engagement are often treated as administrative checklists: communication plans, meeting cadences, and status updates. When that happens, leaders miss what truly determines success. In practice, stakeholder work isn’t procedural; it’s relational. It’s an ongoing series of negotiations that shape whether initiatives gain traction, lose momentum, or quietly stall. The stakes are high: Research shows that up to 70 percent of cross-functional initiatives fail due to ineffective stakeholder management—not because the strategy was flawed, but because leaders underestimated what meaningful…

However, rendered here in Motorola’s Watch app, everything looks fun and easy! Motorola (and Polar, I guess) uses Apple’s “close your rings” approach, with active minutes, steps, and calories. I particularly like that you can now use Polar’s sleep tracking with a cheaper Android watch. Polar takes into account sleep time, solidity (whether or not your sleep was interrupted), and regeneration to give you a Nightly Recharge Status.You can still click through and see your ANS, but there’s a lot more context surrounding it. Also, the graphs are prettier. I compared the sleep, heart rate, and stress measurements to my…
