Ateez announces June comeback
After successful world tour, the octet to continue its 'Golden Hour' series Global K-pop sensation Ateez is set to return on June 13. The group's agency KQ Entertainment unveiled a teaser video for the group's upcoming 12th mini album, "Golden Hour: Part. 3," through Ateez's official YouTube channel, on Wednesday at midnight. The teaser features a lush forest under a blue sky and a glass case containing Ateez's logo and the new album title, "Golden Hour: Part. 3." The case slowly begins to crack through the foggy condensation inside. The phrase 'Break glass in case of thirst' accompanies the visual, heightening curiosity about what the new release will bring. This comeback marks Ateez's return roughly seven months after the 11th mini album "Golden Hour: Part. 2" was unveiled last November. That release saw major international success, including a No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 and No. 4 on the UK Official Albums Chart, solidifying the group's global presence. Ateez continues to expand its international influence. Last year, it made history as the first K-pop boy group to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Earlier this year, from January to February, the group embarked on the European leg of its 2024-2025 world tour, "Towards the Light: Will to Power," performing 14 shows across nine countries. In March, the group wrapped up the tour with a grand finale concert at KSPO Dome in Seoul.

Under Open Skies at Thomson's Tower
Under Open Skies by Jennifer Austin will be exhibited at Thomson's Tower, the yellow octagonal building on the shores of Duddingston Loch has entertained many artists in its 200 years including Henry Raeburn, who immortalised the loch in his painting of 'Rev Robert Walker, skating on Duddingston Loch'. The Tower has also welcomed J.M.W. Turner 'the painter of light', he of 'big skies'; so how appropriate then that, the red carpet has been rolled out for Orkney's Jennifer Austin – her exhibition 'Under Open Skies' is scheduled for the second week in June. Jennifer has exhibited previously; in Orkney at the Workshop and Loft Gallery in St Margaret's Hope (May 2024) and at Highland Park in Kirkwall (March 2025) and in Edinburgh, at the Morningside Gallery (2024). She is completely self-taught and a pupil of the school of trial and error; she is the first to admit that her painterly craft and subsequent success and achievement owes much to YouTube during lockdown. This exhibition is a celebration of light; more specifically how light falls in, on and through the natural world. On display will be a mixture of oils and prints that illustrate Jennifer's relationship with light – a relationship that has been acquired through her Orkney upbringing. 'Light' in Orkney is special – in the summer it can go on forever while in the winter, though in shorter supply, it can reveal itself in moments of intensity. It's in Jennifer's blood and in the air she breathes; both are revealed in her paintings – none more so than in the impressive 'Golden Hour'. I think Turner would have approved. Jennifer's exhibition runs from 8 to 14 June 2025 between 10am and 3pm at: Thomson's Tower in Dr Neil's Garden 5 Old Church Lane EH15 3PX Tim Dean This author does not have any more posts.

Small sips, big flavour: The rise of mini cocktails
As moderation becomes the mantra, cocktails are shrinking—not in spirit, but in size. From stylish bars in Delhi to sleek lounges in Tokyo, mini cocktails are becoming the new stars of the menu. Served in charming glassware and packed with complex flavours, these tiny drinks offer a taste of luxury without the burden of excess. Their visual appeal has also made them a hit on social media, with patrons sharing snapshots of their vibrant, miniature concoctions in tiny glassware! It all started at a New York bar in 2010, when a few bartenders, experimenting behind the counter, created a tiny daiquiri for themselves and friends. Dubbed the 'Snaquiri,' the drink was meant as a palate teaser — a playful shot of something refreshing between shifts. But the idea caught on quickly, and that one small pour helped spark a global trend. Since then, bars across the world have embraced the mini format — some to cater to evolving tastes, others to mirror the growing shift toward mindful drinking. The idea is simple: less alcohol, more variety, and a social experience that feels indulgent without being overwhelming. In India, top hotels and bars are taking the trend seriously. At JW Marriott New Delhi, guests can embark on a flavour journey with three miniature cocktails inspired by global cities. The Golden Hour channels the bold citrus of Los Angeles with a touch of smoky Scotch. Tokyo Refined blends sake, yuzu, and cucumber for a clean, calming sip. New Delhi's own signature shot mixes Indian single malt with jasmine and warm spices, offering a delicate yet distinctly local finish. At Juniper Bar in Andaz Delhi, the Roselle Whisper — a floral gin-based mini cocktail with raspberry and citrus — has become a house favourite.'It's a refined sip for guests wanting something unique and artfully crafted,' says bar manager Ankit Tiwari. In Kolkata, Nutcase Etc has added a twist with its mini martini menu. 'It's a two-by-one soup-style concept, priced at ₹395 — a steal,' says co-founder Ritu Parna, adding, 'It's increased demand for full-sized martinis because it introduces guests to the category in an unintimidating way.' For bartenders, smaller pours mean less waste and more scope to experiment with bold, unusual combinations. 'While the pours are smaller and might use less liquid, the craft behind them is just as intense — sometimes even more,' says Raju Bora, mixologist at Encanto in Gurugram, adds, 'Guests are curious about what can be done in such a small format, and we love showing them how much flavour and finesse can fit into one elegant sip.' Aashie Bhatnagar from Cobbler and Crew in Pune agrees: 'Mini cocktails have opened doors to flavour exploration like never before. People come in eager to try styles they might never pick otherwise. The focus has shifted from quantity to quality and curiosity.' She also explained that they serve mini cocktails at brunch because people tend to eat well but don't always want a full-sized drink. 'It lets them sample different flavours without going overboard,' she said. As wellness takes centre stage and portion sizes shrink, moderation is becoming the new indulgence. Drinkers are seeking balance — savouring flavour and craftsmanship without the weight of excess. The rise of appetite-suppressing treatments like Ozempic — originally a diabetes medication now popular for weight loss — has further nudged this shift. More than ever, people want to enjoy a night out without feeling weighed down the next morning. Yet, the appetite for novel flavours and sensory experiences remains as spirited as ever.

Miss World 2025 Talent Finale: A Dazzling Display of Global Grace, Passion & Power
The Miss World 2025 Talent Finale was nothing short of magical- a rich tapestry of emotion, heritage, and heart told through song, dance, poetry, and performance. Held in the host nation India, the evening was a global celebration of individuality and cultural pride, leaving the audience both awed and deeply moved. Indonesia emerged as the winner with a beautifully curated performance that combined piano and dance. Starting at the age of four, she's always considered piano her closest friend and her medley of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, traditional Balinese melodies, salsa, samba, and Golden Hour showcased not just her range, but also her soul. She truly embodied the theme of 'unity in motion.' The first runner-up, Cameroon, performed a stirring rendition of Goodness of God. Raised in faith by her mother, she used the stage to express gratitude and grace; her voice resonating with strength and sincerity. Italy, who returned to ballet after years away, delivered an elegant and poised routine that earned her the second runner-up spot and massive audience appreciation. Though India didn't place in the top three, she certainly left a mark. Performing Garba, a traditional dance celebrating community, rhythm, and devotion, she lit up the stage with her energy. 'I twirl and clap for the love of my roots,' she said and that love was felt deeply. As the host nation's representative, she had the special honor of closing the night, wrapping up the show on a high, festive note that had the crowd cheering and clapping along. Each performance throughout the evening told a personal story: Nigeria dedicated her dynamic Indo-African drum performance to her late mother, whom she lost at age 2. Her act, titled Unity in Motion, ushered in a spirit of royalty and remembrance. Estonia brought hip-hop cheer with energy, reflecting her journey from gymnastics to competitive dance, missing her team but channeling their spirit. Brazil's heartfelt performance of Memory from Cats reminded everyone to live in the moment, as 'in the end, it will all be memory.' The Netherlands stunned with an AV-led visual act that reflected her passion for ice skating, something she's pursued since age 4 at the international level. Germany played piano with deep emotion, inspired by her mother who began her own musical journey at 40; proving it's never too late to follow passion. Wales delivered a poignant spoken-word poem on cardiac arrest awareness, drawn from her grandparents' real-life stories. Jamaica's powerful version of Many Rivers to Cross channeled her resilience after surviving domestic violence. Kenya, as a DJ and dancer, transformed the space into a celebration of movement and youthful joy. Ethiopia spoke to the experience of being a woman in a man's world, saying, 'We are the spice and the colour,' as she brought fire and fearlessness to the floor. Philippines gave an emotional performance of What Is Wrong With Me?, a song requested by her family while embodying a water princess, despite her real-life fear of water. Czech Republic, Ireland, Cayman Islands and Argentina each brought their own blend of personal history, family connection, and cultural storytelling to their piano pieces, songs, and dance medleys. From Sri Lanka's traditional dance in an outfit handmade by her mother in a single day to Trinidad & Tobago's graceful aerial act challenging gender norms; the night celebrated the resilience and brilliance of women worldwide. Each act, whether polished or raw, was a reminder: Talent isn't just skill - it's story, spirit, and sincerity. And in that sense, every single woman on that stage was a winner. The Miss World 2025 Talent Finale didn't just entertain, it connected. Through loss and love, hope and healing, tradition and transformation- it was a night to remember, and a celebration of what unites us all: human expression.
