Tamil Nadu Government Issues Digital Safety Rulebook For Girl Students
In a move to strengthen online safety among school-going girls, the Tamil Nadu School Education Department has released a comprehensive guide titled "Agal Vilakku" or "Guiding Light" — a digital safety booklet that educates students on cyber threats and safe internet use. Aimed at creating awareness in an age where social media and instant messaging dominate communication, the guide explains various forms of cybercrime including cyberbullying, grooming, stalking, picture morphing, and mobile phone addiction. It offers real-life examples to help students identify red flags and take preventive action. The booklet also warns that even seemingly harmless online interactions can lead to serious consequences if personal information is shared carelessly. It outlines ten golden rules for safe internet use — such as never sharing personal details online, using strong passwords, avoiding suspicious links, and reporting abuse without fear. Students are urged to inform parents or teachers immediately if they face online harassment, and to block and report offenders. The guide stresses that complaints about cybercrime can be filed anytime at or by calling 1930. One section draws attention to the growing problem of mobile phone addiction, narrating the story of a bright student whose health and academic performance deteriorated due to excessive use of social media at night. The department urges students to set strict boundaries on screen time and prioritise rest. Coming amid rising online bullying, stalking and sexual abuse, the School Education Department underlines that internet contains both opportunities and dangers. The message is clear — with responsibility, awareness and caution, the digital world can be a safe and empowering space for students.

Fan-Favorite 'The Bold and the Beautiful' Star Recalls 'Guiding Light' Exit 'Feeling A Little Ick'
Fan-Favorite 'The Bold and the Beautiful' Star Recalls 'Guiding Light' Exit 'Feeling A Little Ick' originally appeared on Parade. The Bold and the Beautiful star Rebecca Budig has spent her career working in the soap world. Budig is a fan-favorite soap star, having worked on four different daytime dramas. While she's grateful for her career and the past three decades working in the genre, it hasn't always been a walk in the park. On the premiere episode of her Soapy podcast, Budig reflected on her 30 years in the told her co-host, Days of Our Lives star Greg Rikaart, that how her Guiding Light exit was handled taught her a harsh lesson about working in the television industry. It was Budig's choice to leave the show, and by the time she exited, One Tree Hill alum Bethany Joy Lenz had been cast as her replacement. 'I do remember how harsh things can be. I was leaving the show, and Joy Lenz was starting, and they literally had me do Act 6, hit a guy on the head with a rock, walk off, and she's in the same outfit, and she does the same thing the next day,' she recalled. The soap vet added, 'I remember feeling a little ick about that. It felt wrong, and I remember I didn't really think about it, but other people really thought it was distasteful. But I guess that happens in the world of TV and soaps.' Despite how she felt about her exit, Budig has nothing but love for her time on Guiding Light. It was her first job and taught her a lot. 'It was such a good experience. I just remember being young, and feeling super connected to Peter Simon, and Michael O'Leary, and Amy Cox, and Kim Zimmer. I just loved it, but I had nothing to compare it to. I didn't work a ton, so I got to go to acting class and live in New York,' the actress expressed. These days, Budig is happy with her current gig on The Bold and the Beautiful. The talented actress has also starred on All My Children and General Hospital. The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS.

Local Domino's store manager swaps roles with Peterhead fishermen
Local Domino's Store Manager, Denver Estrocio, who is at the helm of the first ever Domino's store to open in Peterhead, is swapping pizzas for fish, as he swaps roles with local fishermen, Jamie Lee and Kyle Watt for the day.

The job swap aims to highlight both the work of the fishing community in Peterhead and Domino's mission to be a good neighbour in the communities it serves. The store, which opened at the end of May, announced a partnership with The Fishermen's Mission to raise much needed funds for the charity by giving a donation from opening week sales. Together, they raised £2,000 during the first week. As part of the job swap, Denver Estrocio started his day in a very different way to his norm of managing Domino's Peterhead – washing down the market floor and helping move pallets for the fish to be unloaded, before being taken onto a fishing boat - The Faithful – ready to unload after two weeks at sea. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Denver said: 'I've always respected how hard the fishing community works but seeing it first-hand has given me a whole new level of appreciation. It's an early start and it's physical, but it's absolutely vital to the town and people in the community. It's been a privilege to step into Kyle and Jamie's boots for the day.' Domino's Peterhead Store Manager, Denver Estrocio ready for action As part of the second job swap, local fishermen, Jamie and Kyle had a go at making the perfect Domino's pizza from scratch, whilst also meeting the in-store team. Both wearing Domino's uniform, they were shown how to stretch and roll the dough by Denver, before adding sauce and toppings to be sent into the pizza oven. Kyle and Jamie both work as fishermen on the Guiding Light - a vessel catching white fish for the market, that can be out at sea for weeks at a time. Kyle said: 'I never thought I'd be making pizza in a Domino's kitchen, but it's been brilliant. It's great to see the effort and precision that goes into every order and the team's energy is infectious. Swapping jobs has been eye-opening - we might work in very different environments, but both jobs are fast-paced and all about working as a team. The fishing community is so important to everyone in Peterhead, so it's been nice to be able to show the Domino's team what the town is all about.'
