Ryan Davis, photo by Justin Murphy Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band have announced a headlining tour and shared 'Better If You Make Me,' the final preview of their upcoming album New Threats From the Soul. Accompanying the single is a music video directed by Tijah Bumgarner that was shot in Charleston, West Virginia, and Lexington, Kentucky. Watch it below. 'I was blown away by the extent to which, wherever we went, all Tijah had to do was say, 'Hi, I'm a professor at Marshall University, and we're here working on a student film,'' Davis said in a press statement. 'Next thing you know, they'd be welcoming me onto their boat, letting me inside the cockpit of a real fucking airplane, unattended, no questions asked. At one point, the mayor of Charleston saw us filming at one of the bike race locations, walked up to us, and kissed me on the cheek while I was fully bloodied up in fight scene makeup, hahaha. The presence of a camera has a mysteriously bewitching effect on people.' Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band head out on tour next month in support of the new LP. The tour begins on August 6, in Louisville, Kentucky. From there, they hit up a few Midwestern cities before flying to Europe for a long leg of shows. Upon returning to the United States, the band will then play over a dozen other gigs. Find the group»s complete list of tour dates below. New Threats From the Soul is out this Friday, July 25. Dotting its tracklist are the singles 'Monte Carlo / No Limits' and 'New Threats From the Soul.'

Inter Milan Set To Begin Preseason Training Next Week, With Wantaway Midfielder Scheduled For Earlier Return
Inter Milan are due to report back for preseason training on Saturday ahead of the new campaign, but Hakan Calhanoglu is amongst a group of players set to come back earlier. As reported in today's newspaper edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, and via Christian Chivu's squad will join up on 26 July to begin physical preparations as they look to improve on last season's trophyless campaign. Friendlies have been arranged for next month, with Inter travelling to Monte Carlo to face Monaco on 8 August, before taking on Monza four days later and finishing off with a clash against Olympiacos in Bari on 16 August. Calhanoglu, who has been heavily linked with a departure this summer, will report back to the Appiano Gentile training centre on Wednesday in order to carry out assessments on a slight calf injury. He will be joined by Nicola Zalewski, Benjamin Pavard, and Yann Bisseck, with the group all suffering minor injuries during Inter's Club World Cup campaign this summer. The major absentee once the squad regroup will be midfielder Davide Frattesi, with the ex-Sassuolo man undergoing surgery and not due back until mid-August.

OCBC to develop quantum applications with NUS, NTU and SMU
[SINGAPORE] OCBC will embark on research collaborations with three local universities to develop applications of quantum technology in derivative pricing, fraud detection and data security. The bank announced this during a media briefing on Thursday (Jul 17), where it signed 12-month long collaboration agreements with the National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore Management University (SMU) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU). 'The industry-academia exchange is deeply meaningful to us,' said Praveen Raina, head of group operations and technology at OCBC. 'It drives research and innovation by merging practical insights and real world use cases with domain expertise and knowledge.' The bank will support NUS' research on applying quantum computing to speed up Monte Carlo simulations, which are a common method used to calculate the value of financial derivatives. Quantum technology could significantly boost the speed and accuracy of these calculations, making it easier to adjust investment portfolios in real time and run advanced risk models. Associate Professor Patrick Rebentrost, principal investigator at NUS' Centre for Quantum Technologies, said that while his academic group has a deep understanding of the interface of quantum algorithms and mathematical finance, this project will give them 'the opportunity to apply the theory in practice'. BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up OCBC is also supporting SMU's research into using quantum machine learning (QML) to improve fraud detection. By analysing messy and complex data, QML can spot unusual patterns that may indicate fraudulent behaviour. This could help banks identify suspicious transactions more quickly and accurately, making it possible to catch potential fraud in real time. The goal of the SMU partnership is to 'translate quantum machine learning innovations into practical tools that strengthen trust and resilience in the banking sector', said Associate Professor Paul Griffin, principal investigator at the university's School of Computing and Information Systems. With NTU, meanwhile, OCBC's partnership will focus on deploying post-quantum cryptography – advanced encryption methods built to prevent hackers from stealing data, even if they have access to powerful quantum computers. Findings from OCBC's research collaborations with the three universities will be published in technology-focused research papers and journals. This will allow players in the banking industry to assess whether quantum technology is suitable for key operations, and could speed up its adoption. Besides universities, OCBC is also partnering with other institutions to develop real-world applications of quantum technology. It is working with both Singtel and the Monetary Authority of Singapore to explore the application of quantum key distribution, a secured method of transmitting information and data. The bank said it has around 50 employees with at least an intermediate proficiency in quantum technology. Through ongoing training efforts, it aims to bring this figure to over 100 employees by 2026. OCBC's initiatives come amid a broader national push to build up quantum capabilities. Singapore aims to be a leading hub for development and deployment of the technology. The government will commit about S$300 million to advance research and talent training, with plans to build quantum computer processors locally and create quantum applications for industry usage.

Where luxury meets ASMR: Gucci scarf
Gucci is beloved for its imaginative flair and detailed craftsmanship, whether that's its famed handbags, loafers or truly fabulous silk scarves. The brand's original collection of scarves was designed by the Italian artist Vittorio Accornero de Testa from 1960 to 1981. The scarves, all of which are 90 square centimetres, tell elaborate stories using creative and versatile iconography. His scarves were beloved by celebrities and royalty alike — his 1966 Flora print scarf was a favourite of Princess Grace of Monaco. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue The scarves are detailed works of art, as much as something to keep the neck warm while driving along Monte Carlo's Corniche in a convertible. In an early Flora print alone Accornero de Testa was able to incorporate 37 colours, 27 varieties of flowers, as well as a cornucopia of insects and fruits. Over his career, he created scarves with designs ranging from animals to classic Gucci signifiers like the brand's horsebit or its logo. The scarves from Accornero de Testa's years designing for the brand are now housed in the Gucci archives in the brand's first Florentine workshop, the Palazzo the collection has been reimagined in Gucci's Art of Silk 90×90 project by nine artists who have added their own, more contemporary, aesthetic.

Princess Charlene of Monaco declares 'love and support' for husband Prince Albert in emphatic speech at glitzy Red Cross Gala in Monte-Carlo - and vows she's 'always by his side'
Princess Charlene of Monaco offered an emotionally charged show of public support for her husband Prince Albert as he celebrated 20 years on the throne. Taking to the stage at a charity event in Monte-Carlo, the Princess, 47, made an impassioned speech in tribute to her 'dedicated' spouse, 67, in a rare insight into their marriage. Charlene, who shares 10-year-old twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella with Albert, was speaking at the 76th annual Monaco Red Cross Gala, held at the stunning Salle des Étoiles, part of the legendary Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer (SBM) Resort. Addressing a packed room of dignitaries and celebrities, she spoke of her 'support' for her husband and insisted she remains 'by his side' in an emphatic declaration - hitting back at reports speculating about the state of her marriage. She told a packed room: 'Monseigneur! Albert! We love you, we support you and we thank you for being there for all of us.' The glitzy event, a highlight of Monaco's social calendar, welcomed guests including rock icon Billy Idol and Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc. Princess Charlene stunned in a pleated silk-georgette gown by Elie Saab, while her niece Camille Gottlieb paid tribute to Princess Grace in a monochrome ensemble inspired by her grandmother's iconic style. Later, Charlene made a speech, addressing her husband directly. The Princess began by thanking Prince Albert, 67, for his tireless dedication to the Monaco Red Cross, which he has supported for over four decades. 'Thank you for leading this institution over the past 40 years and working tirelessly for its development and influence,' she said. She then turned to the personal significance of the date, marking two decades since Albert's accession to the throne: 'This July 12 marks exactly the twentieth anniversary of your accession. 'Twenty years ago, you took the reins of the Principality, and since that day, you have guided Monaco with wisdom, courage and determination.' Charlene praised her husband's steady presence in international politics, his commitment to environmental causes and his leadership decisions. She described him as a 'value-based force' whose 'wish for unity and serenity for Monaco' had been his guiding principles. The speech concluded with a powerful declaration of support: 'You know that I am always by your side along with the Monegasques. 'We are standing with you, with all our hearts to protect Monaco and its future under your leadership.' Ferrari's Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc poses with his girlfriend Mexican-Italian influencer, Alexandra Saint Mleux at the star-studded soiree The gala was held in support of the Monaco Red Cross, which was established in 1948 to provide assistance to all in need with a politically impartial stance. As the Monegasque premier, Prince Albert now presides over the charity. To raise money for the charity, VIP guests descended on the Salle des Etoiles, which hosted the first 'Red Cross Night' in 1948. They were treated to a raffle and tombola with glamorous prizes, including a first prize dazzling earring and bracelet set by REPOSSI and a second prize Audemars Piguet Watch. The third prize was a classic cream Lady Dior bag, donated by the French fashion house, and fourth was a VIP experience at Art Dubai. Fifth prize was a two night stay at the stunning Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo in a suite overlooking the coastline of the Cote d'Azur, which was donated by the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer. Charlene's glowing tribute to her husband is an emphatic show of support after she pulled out of a planned trip to Japan due to 'current events' in the Middle East. The Princess had been due to travel to the country at the end of June for the World Expo 2025 with Prince Albert and their 10-year-old twins. However, a palace statement via Hola! read: 'In light of current events taking place in the Middle East, this has led to the decision that H.S.H. Princess Charlene and the Princely children would not be participating in this trip.' However, 67-year-old Prince Albert still carried out the planned engagements in Japan. Instead of travelling with his immediate family, Albert was joined by his younger sister, Princess Stephanie, and her children, Louis Ducruet, Pauline Ducruet and Camille Gottlieb, and her daughter in-law Marie Ducruet. In the statement, Princess Charlene expressed her gratitude: 'H.S.H. Princess Charlene wishes to express her sincere thanks to the teams of the Monaco Pavilion, as well as to the partners and hosts who were to welcome her in Japan, for their understanding and ongoing commitment.' The royal's activities commenced on June 27 with a charity football match titled 'United through Legends' at Panasonic Stadium Suita in Osaka. Elsewhere, Albert attended an official luncheon and enjoy an orchestra concert. While Charlene has kept a low profile in recent months, the family celebrated Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella's Holy Communion in May. The heir to the Monegasque throne - also known as the Marquis of Baux - and his twin sister, both 10, marked the religious ceremony with a series of sweet family portraits shared to the royal household's official Instagram page. The First Holy Communion, also known as the First Eucharist, is one of the most important milestones in the Catholic faith. It is a key step in in a child's faith journey, symbolising their deepening relationship with Jesus and the Church, and it involves receiving the consecrated bread and wine, believed to be the body and blood of Christ. The young royals beamed as they were joined by their parents Prince Albert of Monaco and Princess Charlene at the important ceremony. A translated statement shared to the palace's Instagram page read: 'On this day of First Communion, we extend our most sincere congratulations to Crown Prince James and Princess Gabriella who received this sacrament with faith and compulsion'. It further read that the palace extended its 'heartfelt congratulations' to the prince and princess who 'received this sacrament with faith and reverence'. The prince and princess looked adorable in white floor-length robes and matching gold necklaces.
