Flash mob at Guntur Railway Station against use of plastic
Around 50 children danced to the eco-awareness song Tik Tik Plastic, appealing public to reduce plastic use, especially single-use items, and to switch to eco-friendly alternatives like cloth bags.
The young participants included children from railway families and the local community. Guntur Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Sudeshna Sen said the children had earlier taken a pledge to stop using plastic and to encourage others around them to do the same. As part of the campaign, DRM Sen and railway staff handed out jute bags to passengers, promoting the message of sustainability.
'Carry your own water bottle. Say no to single-use plastic. And stop using plastic,' the DRM said. She noted that such efforts, even if small, can lead to meaningful change. The involvement of children, she added, shows that the younger generation is ready to take the lead in protecting the environment.

10 Of The Best "Project Runway" Season 21 Looks (So Far)
As Heidi Klum would say, "In fashion, one day you're in, and the next day you're out." Luckily for the designers below, they are officially still in the competition. Here's a breakdown of the top looks from the first three episodes of Season 21. In the first episode, the designers were divided into two competing fashion houses and challenged to create a look inspired by Disney princesses and villains. The top looks came from Ethan, Yuchen, and Jesus, with Ethan winning the challenge overall. Heidi Gutman / Disney Ethan's winning look: Yuchen's look: Jesus's look: However, it should be pointed out that one of the judges (Law Roach) absolutely hated this look. He said, 'I hated it. She doesn't look young. She looks like a Nigerian auntie.' In the second episode, the designers were asked to create multipurpose athleisure looks that can go from day to night. The top three looks came from Jesus, Joseph, and Belania, with Jesus winning. (They also gave a shout-out to Ethan for his look, even though he was on the losing team.) Heidi Gutman / Disney Jesus's winning look: Joseph's look: Belania's look: Ethan's bonus look: In the third and most recent episode, the designers were asked to use their creative skills to transform "boring" fabric into fabulous fashion. The top looks were from Belania, Jesus, and Antonio, with Belania winning the challenge. Heidi Gutman / Disney Belania's winning look: Jesus's look: Antonio's look: What do you think of the winning looks? Do you think any of them didn't deserve to be in the top? Let us know in the comments! You can stream the current season of Project Runway on Hulu and Disney+.

Polaris, Brunswick, Malibu Boats, Harley-Davidson, and Bark Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know
What Happened? A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed inflation holding steady, bolstering investor optimism for a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The data, which revealed that inflation remained at 2.7% for the year ending in July, was seen as a positive sign by investors. This stability increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates at its upcoming September meeting. Lower interest rates can stimulate the economy by making borrowing cheaper for both consumers and businesses, which often translates into higher consumer spending. This is particularly beneficial for the Consumer Discretionary sector, which includes companies selling non-essential goods and services like apparel, travel, and electronics. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Leisure Products company Polaris (NYSE:PII) jumped 5.7%. Is now the time to buy Polaris? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Leisure Products company Brunswick (NYSE:BC) jumped 5.8%. Is now the time to buy Brunswick? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Leisure Products company Malibu Boats (NASDAQ:MBUU) jumped 7.3%. Is now the time to buy Malibu Boats? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Leisure Products company Harley-Davidson (NYSE:HOG) jumped 3.8%. Is now the time to buy Harley-Davidson? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Toys and Electronics company Bark (NYSE:BARK) jumped 8.5%. Is now the time to buy Bark? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Zooming In On Bark (BARK) Bark's shares are extremely volatile and have had 43 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 8 days ago when the stock gained 4.4% on the news that markets rebounded following a sharp sell-off in the previous trading session as weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data fueled investor hopes for a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The July Nonfarm Payrolls report revealed a gain of only 73,000 jobs, significantly below the 110,000 expected. Compounding the news, prior months' figures were revised downward by over 250,000 jobs. This data, indicating a cooling labor market, has led investors to dramatically increase bets on a September interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve, with the probability jumping to over 80% according to the CME FedWatch Tool. The prospect of lower borrowing costs typically stimulates economic activity and boosts consumer spending on non-essential goods and services, which directly benefits companies in the consumer discretionary space. Bark is down 54.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $0.85 per share, it is trading 64.5% below its 52-week high of $2.40 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Bark's shares at the IPO in December 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $68.77. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

Huddersfield sign Evalds permanently from Hull KR
Former England international Niall Evalds has turned his loan at Huddersfield Giants from Hull KR into a permanent move. Evalds has signed a two-year contract with the Giants after injuries wrecked his 2025 campaign with the west Yorkshire club. The 31-year-old broke his foot just 35 minutes into his debut in March before he suffered a season-ending calf problem in July on his comeback. Part of the KR side that reached the 2024 Grand Final, Evalds will now stay at the John Smith's Stadium until at least 2027. "When I signed on loan, it wasn't with a short-term view," Evalds said. "It was to be at Giants for the next few years. I want to focus on getting back to enjoying it and doing what I can do. "The start of my Giants career hasn't gone particularly to plan, but I'm here for the longer term and I'm working really hard in rehab to get back stronger for next year."
