This animated feature from Sony Pictures Animation will also see the Golden State Warriors star as a producer. While this will be his first major role in a movie, Curry has been a part of a few projects so far.

Good oil has its limits too: Why olive oil may be expanding your waistline, one fat cell at a time
Olive oil has long been hailed as a golden elixir of health, praised by Mediterranean diets and wellness gurus alike. But a new study has stirred the pot — and your salad dressing — by revealing a surprising link between olive oil and weight gain. Published in Cell Reports , the research claims that oleic acid, the dominant monounsaturated fat in olive oil, could actually fuel the growth of fat cells — and potentially, your waistline. Led by Michael Rudolph, assistant professor of biochemistry and physiology at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, the study dives into how different types of fats affect the body. And the findings are anything but bland. Meet the 'Fat Cell Soldiers' That Olive Oil Might Be Recruiting In a controlled study using mice, Rudolph and his team fed diets high in various fats — from coconut oil to soybean oil — to see how they impacted the body. But only one fat stood out: oleic acid. This compound, abundant in olive oil and processed foods, triggered an increase in the body's 'fat cell soldiers,' or precursor fat cells. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A neuropatia tem atrapalhado sua rotina? Esse aparelho está ajudando os idosos a ter mais alivio A arte do herbalismo Undo According to Rudolph, oleic acid stimulates a protein called AKT2 while suppressing another called LXR, both of which regulate fat storage. The result? More fat cells ready to store dietary nutrients — and a greater capacity for weight gain. 'If the excess nutrients overtake the number of fat cells, obesity can occur,' Rudolph warned. 'That can then lead to cardiovascular disease or diabetes if not controlled.' iStock Olive oil may be slimming in moderation, but too much could expand your waistline. (Representational image: iStock) Don't Ditch Your Olive Oil Bottle Just Yet Before you throw your olive oil out with the bathwater, there's a crucial caveat. The researchers stress that real-world diets are more complex — no one eats isolated fats in a lab setting. Plus, olive oil still boasts numerous health benefits: it's rich in antioxidants, supports brain function, improves heart health, and has even been linked to reduced cancer and dementia risk.

Diets dominated by ultra-processed foods rich in oleic acid could tilt the balance. 'Moderation is key,' Rudolph said. 'Relatively balanced levels of oleic acid seem to be beneficial, but higher and prolonged levels may be detrimental.' Olive Oil is Still the Good Guy — Just Not the Only Guy In a world obsessed with 'superfoods,' this study is a wake-up call that even healthy ingredients have their limits. Olive oil remains a nutritional powerhouse — but when consumed in excess or combined with unhealthy food habits, it might be helping your fat cells multiply behind the scenes. So, yes — drizzle that olive oil over your salad. Just don't drown in it.

Music school students to get Class X and XII-equivalent pass certificates
The School Education Department has issued orders to give Class X and XII-equivalent pass certificates to music school students. 'Students studying in district government music schools will be issued pass certificates equivalent to Classes X and XII if they pass the language courses conducted by the Directorate of Government Examinations,' the Government Order (G.O.) said. School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi had announced this provision in the Legislative Assembly earlier this year. The order stated that the move aimed to ensure that students of music schools can access higher education and employment opportunities without any hindrance, and to discourage them from dropping out. It added that if they pass the Class XII Tamil (Part-I) and English language (Part-II) papers, they could continue their musical education or pursue higher education and employment with a Class XII-equivalent pass certificate.
