Yoga Marathon in Cairo marks start of 11th International Day of Yoga events
A Yoga Marathon held in Cairo on 30 May 2025 marked an enthusiastic start to the 11th International Day of Yoga celebrations in Egypt. The event, organised by the Embassy of India in Cairo in collaboration with Happy Runners Egypt, saw the participation of nearly 300 individuals.
The marathon, held in central Cairo, attracted a large number of youth, Yoga practitioners, and fitness enthusiasts. Amb Suresh K Reddy inaugurated the event, 'highlighting Yoga's role in promoting physical and mental well-being and strengthening people-to-people connections between India and Egypt.'
The event commenced with a brief warm-up session, followed by a run along a scenic route in Zamalek. After the marathon, a special Yoga workshop was conducted. A trained Indian Yoga instructor, alongside Egyptian Yoga instructors, led participants through guided sessions of Yoga, including asanas, pranayama, and breathing techniques, which offered a rejuvenating experience.
Organisers reported an atmosphere charged with energy and enthusiasm, as participants of all ages embraced the spirit of Yoga. The event is seen to reflect the growing popularity of Yoga in Egypt and sets a dynamic tone for the upcoming celebrations of the International Day of Yoga, which is scheduled to be held in Al Horreya Park, Zamalek, Cairo on 21 June 2025.
The Embassy extended its gratitude to Happy Runners, the team of volunteers, and all participants whose collective efforts contributed to the Yoga Marathon.
To acknowledge their efforts, the Embassy also felicitated the top-performing runners. Medals and certificates of appreciation were awarded to the best runners 'in recognition of their outstanding performance, dedication, and commitment to promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.' The felicitation ceremony was intended to add a celebratory touch to the event and further motivate participants to continue embracing Yoga and fitness.

Swifties Can't Get Enough of Taylor Swift's Via Carota Visit in NYC
's hiatus hasn't been easy on the Swifties, and a video showed how her recent Via Carota visit proved to be their consolation. A viral clip on X (formerly Twitter) shared a brief look at Swift's stylish outing in New York City on Thursday night. Spectators' reactions clearly proved they couldn't get enough of it. A swarm of fans and paparazzi gathered outside the establishment – one of her favorite dining spots – to catch a rare glimpse. However, the clip only captured her walking out of the door and into her SUV, leaving everybody wanting more. A solo date in the Big Apple doesn't sound like a bad idea, especially when you're a pop icon. This viral video on X (formerly Twitter) showed Taylor Swift's recent outing in NYC as she exited Via Carota with a flock of fans and paps greeting her at the entrance. The singer's dress, which is only visible in the flashes in the clip, appeared to be a gorgeous black piece with multicoloured prints throughout. In addition, Swift was sporting her signature bangs, and her hair remained tied in a neat ponytail. She paired a handbag that one could barely notice, hanging on her arm. More interestingly, the video captured the stunned reactions of fans besides documenting the Grammy winner's rare outing. One can notice people with their mouths wide open in the background because it's not every day one encounters a celebrity like her walking by. A second clip showed a fellow diner's jaw-dropping reaction to seeing Swift entering the restaurant. The text over the post read, 'That face when you're having dinner and Taylor Swift shows up,' with a geotag of the location. Before videos of her solo dinner date in NYC's Via Carota went viral, Taylor Swift enjoyed a cozy date with Travis Kelce in Florida. Her NFL star boyfriend has reportedly been staying in Florida, turning his $20 million mansion into his 'base of operations' to train during the off-season. Swift reportedly pays him frequent visits, including once last week, when they enjoyed a dinner outing at the Harry's Bar & Restaurant in West Palm Beach. Originally reported by Nikita Mahato on Reality Tea. The post Swifties Can't Get Enough of Taylor Swift's Via Carota Visit in NYC appeared first on Mandatory.

CFIB statement on the need for the 2025 budget
TORONTO, June 3, 2025 /CNW/ - We're pleased to see talk in Ottawa about advancing a spring budget after all. Small businesses are waiting on word on at least five outstanding measures from the 2024 budget and Fall Economic Statement (FES). They include: The tax status of the $2.5 billion small business carbon rebate delivered in December (CRA says it is taxable until government introduces a change). Changes to and delivery of the $623 million small business carbon rebate for 2024/25 (the FES proposed a new formula and government is now sitting on the rebates). A legislative change to allow businesses to qualify for the earlier carbon rebate by filing their returns for those years before Dec. 31, 2024. A bump in the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption (LCGE) to $1.25 million backdated to June 25, 2024 (introduced but not passed, promised by Prime Minister Carney too). The fate of the new Canadian Entrepreneurs' Incentive (backdated to Jan. 1, 2025) to lower the inclusion rate to 33% on a lifetime maximum of $2 million in eligible capital gains. All of these measures are supposed to be in place today, but were delayed due to the filibuster, prorogation of Parliament and election. Only one is temporarily supported by CRA (the LCGE change). A budget would provide the window for government to introduce the legislation, which should all be ready to go from the last Parliament. Without action, small businesses filing their 2024 taxes in June are required to pay corporate income tax on their share of the $2.5 billion carbon rebate they've already received and spent. Then, CRA is suggesting 600,000 small business owners file an amendment to get the tax back when the legislation change is made. This makes no sense at all. Among the best things the federal government could do to address the massive economic and trade uncertainty facing SMEs is to provide them with certainty on these tax measures. They have all been promised, are ready to go and should be part of a 2025 budget this legislative session. - Dan Kelly, President, CFIB About CFIB The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is Canada's largest association of small and medium-sized businesses with 100,000 members across every industry and region.
