Hettich Partners With Pixelfox to Create a Magical Valentine's Day Campaign
MUMBAI, India, Feb. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This Valentine's Day, Hettich India, in collaboration with Pixelfox, set out to capture love in its purest form. Not the over-the-top, grand gestures, but the quiet, everyday moments that truly matter. 'Love Feels Like Magic'—an exploration of how emotions and design go hand in hand, where the smallest, almost unnoticed details create the most profound impact.
Why This Campaign:
In a world where brands often chase trends, Hettich India wanted to humanize design. Love, much like a well-crafted space, isn't about complexity, it's about the effortlessness of being understood, supported, and free to move without resistance, just like Hettich fittings, which work quietly in the background, making homes feel intuitive and graceful.
The campaign wasn't just about storytelling; it was about making people feel something special.
The Journey from Emotion to Engagement
It began with intrigue—thought-provoking posts that made people reflect on love in its truest form. A teaser reel followed, building anticipation before unveiling the main film, a poetic visual that captured love's silent strength. The film draws a parallel between Hettich's smooth, seamless fittings and the effortless beauty of love—understanding and always being there.
Taking it beyond just a passive experience, Hettich introduced an interactive contest, inviting people to complete the phrase, "Some furniture solutions feels just like love because..."The response was overwhelming, proving that the smallest things—whether in relationships or design—leave the biggest impact.

Tennis star Sachia Vickery defends having OnlyFans account: ‘Easiest money I've ever made'
Pro tennis player Sachia Vickery is drawing major attention both on the court and off as she competes in the U.S. Open 2025 qualifiers while defending her career on OnlyFans. During an Instagram Q&A amid her qualifier run in New York City, the 30-year-old Florida native, who is ranked No. 559, wrote, 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me,' calling OnlyFans 'the easiest money I've ever made.' Vickery said she also has a newfound respect for fellow creators on the platform. 'I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life,' she added, citing how overwhelmed she was by the revenue she made in just her first two days on the platform. A representative for Vickery clarified to The Independent that her OnlyFans content remains suggestive rather than explicit and should not be considered 'sex work.' They stressed there is 'no full nudity or sexual acts performed' on her page, asserting that reports elsewhere misrepresented her content. They also noted that Vickery "was off 6 months due to a major injury and in that time, OnlyFans was pursued, tennis was not stopped to go into OnlyFans." Also on her Instagram Stories, Vickery revealed her new dating policy, which includes a mandatory $1,000 pre-date deposit. "I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men...I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick," she said, according to The Daily Mail Hours later, Vickery shared a screenshot of a $1,000 CashApp credit labeled 'go out on a date.' "Y'all thought I was joking," Vickery wrote over the screenshot, per the outlet. "1k pre date deposit is now my requirement I no longer date for free due to male behavior think if it as a future investment like this gentlemen." Vickery's male counterparts, Alexandre Müller and Nick Kyrgios, also post content on OnlyFans. Vickery's next match in the U.S. Open qualifiers is Thursday at 11 a.m. against German Ella Seidel.

The real-life story behind 'Eden,' Ron Howard's dark crime movie
About 15 years ago, director Ron Howard took his family on vacation. Call it a bucket list trip, one that took his brood to the epic Galapagos Islands about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. The result of that trek was terrific family bonding and, many years later, 'Eden' (in theaters Aug. 22), a movie anchored to a true crime mystery that wormed its way into Howard's brain while on the islands. "It was our dinner conversation the whole trip," says Howard. "I've loved this story for a long time." It's quite the tale: "Eden" speculates on the deaths of members of an experimental community on the island of Floreana in the 1930s. The group includes a German doctor, Friedrich Ritter (Jude Law), who is eager to get away from his fascist-leaning country, and his wife Dora (Vanessa Kirby). Inspired by the Ritters, who have publicized their seemingly idyllic lives in newspaper articles, Heinz (Daniel Brühl) and Margret Wittmer (Sydney Sweeney) make their way to Floreana, much to the Ritters' displeasure at having company. But then things get even more tense with the arrival of Baroness Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn (Ana de Armas) and her two male companions. The baroness is determined to build a hotel on the island, which a century ago might as well be like building a hotel on the moon. While things are barely cordial initially, they quickly devolve. "I always wondered how people would respond to the strangeness of the story, it's almost too wild to be true," Howard says. "I thought about the show 'Survivor,' because that's what this really was. And here people died." Ron Howard's 'Eden' is anything but: 'You've got to make it where you are' Howard turned to writer Noah Pink (2023's "Tetris") and challenged him to pull the threads together. "I read the books written by two of the women on the island, and when I saw they were very different memoirs, that led to a mystery of what really happened," Pink says. "What interested me wasn't just the 'Lord of the Flies' nature of it, but that three groups of people were all asking the same big question. What is the meaning of life?" During the pandemic, Howard says, "so many people were talking about being off the grid, and this is the ultimate off-the-grid story. Many of us are frustrated by the pressure cooker of society today, but running away from it all is not it. Our story says, 'These people tried, have a look.' So you've got to make it where you are." The film is not typical Howard fare. Whether it's "Apollo 13" or "Rush," the director's movies usually leave film fans on a buoyant note. "Eden" depicts its protagonists searching for exactly that, but what they find is quite hellish. It was the departure from his favored subject matter that intrigued Howard. "I'm an optimist, and I love real events that generally are celebratory," Howard says. "But this story is cautionary if not tragic. That's a different tone for me. These are wilder, more sexually dangerous characters than I usually work with. And it's a crime story, which outside of 'Ransom,' I haven't worked with. There was something about these characters and what they say about the human experience that grabbed me." The stars of 'Eden' endured 100-degree heat and menacing snakes It did not hurt that when it came time to make "Eden," actors lined up for the roles. "We found many who were fascinated by the true story and Noah's treatment of it," he says. "They all were troopers, too. No one got paid their (usual) fees, it was about going on a creative adventure together." The movie was filmed largely in a rugged part of Australia, where the fauna kept actors and crew alike on their toes. "We needed snake and spider wranglers, because the location was infested," Howard says. "We'd have to stop shooting because a snake crawled over a camera operator's boot." While both Law and Brühl's characters are formidable and stoic frontiersmen, it's actually the women in the story who prove to be fierce and unbreakable. "This movie is showcasing this very raw version of female empowerment," Howard says. "(The baroness) is a total narcissist and driven by her vision. Today, she'd be an influencer with her own brand, but back then, forging ahead on your own like that was impossible." The other key players, played by Kirby and Sweeney, are in Floreana "because their men want them there, but we see them become alphas, and I loved that." How do you get dogs to behave like wild beasts? 'A lot of treats' In one memorably powerful scene, Sweeney's pregnant Margret is alone in the family's hut when her water breaks. The island's hungry wild dogs sense this and immediately encircle her, snarling and howling. While the scene is harrowing on film, the actual shoot had its lighter moments. "It was 100 degrees out when Sydney shot it, and that was just so impressive," Howard says. But canine fans should know that the dogs were kept inside air-conditioned trailers until it was time for the cameras to roll. "They'd come out for 10 minutes, then go back into the trailers, back and forth," Pink says. Howard laughs. "There were takes when a dog would bark fiercely, and then just turn and look at us, and it seemed like he was saying, 'Are you kidding me with this, are we done here?'" To get the needed drama, the dogs were commanded to snarl viciously, and then they would immediately get a treat. And then they'd repeat the task. Pink adds that in post-production, editors had to digitally manipulate one small aspect of the scene: wagging tails. "They were quite happy to do it," he says. "They got a lot of treats."

Owner Thought Rescue Dog's Breed Was 'Obvious'—Then Gets Shock DNA Results
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman who adopted a mixed-breed puppy thought she knew what she was getting, until DNA results proved a major shock. Mizuki Arai lives in Westchester County, New York, and recently became the owner of adorable puppy Lyle, whom she adopted from a shelter in Louisiana after seeing photos of him online. Arai, who is expecting her first child, told Newsweek: "People told us we were nuts for getting a puppy now, but we're putting in a lot of work, and he's becoming a very promising family doggo. He's just so awesome, and we love all the different sides of him." It took a while to get to know their new puppy properly—because, while his profile stated Lyle was an Australian shepherd and Australian cattle dog mix, Arai wasn't convinced. She and her partner believed that, based on his looks, he was a flat-coated retriever, a breed closely related to the Labrador retriever. When Google reverse image search and AI appeared to agree when presented with Lyle's photos, the couple thought that was the end of it—but then they saw photos of Lyle's siblings and mother, and they were left with "no idea" what Lyle could be. Because, not only were those dogs definitely not retrievers, they also all looked completely different: some with a merle coat; some black, white or brown; some with short hair; and some boasting a fluffy coat. Arai and her partner decided it was time to put the mystery to rest with a DNA test, as they were "trying to prepare for what size and temperament we can expect as best as possible." And having already begun training their new puppy, the couple told Newsweek, "knowing his genetics will help us guide him in the ways he would be most responsive." Three weeks later, they got their answer. The test results said Lyle was 19 percent German shepherd dog; 16 percent Labrador retriever; 15.5 percent American pit bull terrier; 11 percent Australian shepherd; 8 percent chow chow; and 7.9 percent boxer. From left: Lyle the rescue puppy rests at home. From left: Lyle the rescue puppy rests at home. Reddit u/supercooper77 Lyle was also, the test suggested, 16 percent "Supermutt," meaning he has ancestry from several different breeds but whose DNA segments are too short to be confidently identified, according to the Embark DNA testing website. Arai said that the results have proved extremely helpful when training him, as they now know he is "one-third herding breeds, one-third guard breeds, and one-third hunting and retrieving breed. It's a good mix!" As the couple got to know Lyle while waiting for his test results, the puppy "really started to show his personality," and they came to suspect he had German shepherd ancestry. "He had a lot of herding instincts, and he was such a 'Velcro dog' and gave us very little privacy," Arai said, but added he is "also very much a Labrador." "We took him to Lake Ontario, and he went nuts for the waves and water. He got to use his big webbed paws—a Lab thing—to doggy paddle. He was a bit wary of strangers at first, which is a shepherd thing, but as he got comfortable, he became very loving, friendly, and playful with everyone and every dog—more of a Lab thing!" Arai shared her unique pup's story to Reddit's u/DoggyDNA via her account u/supercooper77 on August 20, where she wrote: "We thought his breed was obvious until we met mom and siblings." In the post, Arai shared photos of Lyle settling into his new home, taking naps, stretching out, and playing with toys. She then shared a snap of Lyle's mother and littermates, followed by the DNA test. "Everyone (including us) assumed he was a flat coated lab mix. Then we got the rare chance to meet his mom and siblings … and suddenly nothing looked so obvious anymore," Arai said. "Same family, totally different looks. His DNA tests are in the last pic—this pup is a true sheprador mutt, a certified good boi, and very much a dog of the world!" Reddit users were fascinated, with one commenter calling him, "one hundred percent gorgeous, as is his extended family!" "I called GSD and Chow Chow," another wrote. "It's never a flattie. He is gorgeous." A third posted: "Actual flat coat mixes are very rare. I was thinking maybe pyrenees and GSD [German shepherd dog]." Flat-coated retrievers are known for their cheerful, good-humored nature, and ability to get along with family, small children and other dogs. While as tall as Labrador retrievers, they are leaner and more elegant, according to the American Kennel Club. In 2024, flat-coated retrievers ranked 97th in the AKC's list of the most-popular dog breeds. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
