A$AP Rocky x Ray-Ban's "Next Generation" Collection Faces the Future
Summary The throughline inA$AP Rocky's creative vision is that it's undoubtedly future-facing. From fashion collections, creative partnerships, and, of course, his music, everything Rocky does is an attempt to push the needle in a new way. One of his latest artistic ventures has been asRay-Ban's first-ever Creative Director, revealing his first release in the role of Wayfarer Puffer frames last month and now readying his second range, which, naturally, leans into Rocky's futuristic perception. Aptly entitled the 'Next Generation' collection, Rocky's sophomore Ray-Ban offering spans three new sunglass models: Ultra Wrap 001, Ultra Wrap 002, and Ultra Wrap 003. The trio of futuristic frames was debuted in Paris, at Rocky'sAWGEParis Fashion Week runway. While the Wayfarers landed in a lineup of bright hues, the Ultra collection is rooted in its sleek all-black color palette, but does similarly arrive in a lineup of vibrant shades. Ultra-Wrap 001 sticks to an inflated wraparound silhouette, with Ultra-Wrap 002 defined by its thick temples, and Ultra-Wrap 003 almost a mix of both, featuring bold wraparound lenses and thick, curved temples. Take a closer look at all three new Ultra frames in the gallery below and cop a pair now at Ray-Ban's officialwebstore.

Punjab unveils next-level education reforms: Question papers to be co-created by teachers, students
1 2 3 Mohali: In a landmark move aimed at reshaping the examination system, the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) announced that it will contribute high-quality, competency-based questions to a national question bank in collaboration with PARAKH — the National Assessment Centre under NCERT. The initiative is set to benefit lakhs of students preparing for competitive exams like NEET, CUET, and JEE. The announcement was made during the national conference on "Rethinking Education Framework for Next Generation Learning," where PSEB chairman Dr Amarpal Singh outlined a new vision for student assessment, shifting the focus from rote learning to conceptual clarity, critical thinking, and innovation. "We are preparing our students not just to pass exams, but to stand tall on national platforms," said Dr Singh. "Every question paper in Punjab will now test real understanding, not just memory." Punjab will now contribute its best question papers to a centralised national databank, allowing local students to gain familiarity with the pattern and difficulty level of national-level assessments. Teachers across the state are being trained to frame questions in core subjects that test deeper learning and problem-solving abilities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Exams Reimagined: Students as Question Creators One of the most forward-looking elements of this reform is the inclusion of students in the assessment process. Students — especially at the junior level — will be encouraged to frame their own questions. Selected entries will not only be recognised but also have the potential to feature in national-level assessments. "It's a proud moment. Punjab's teachers and students will now help shape the way India's children are tested and trained for the future," said a PSEB official. Dr Indrani Bhaduri, CEO of PARAKH, commended Punjab's leadership: "When students start asking questions, not just answering them, real learning begins. Punjab is setting a national example." Technology-Driven, Transparent Exams The reform initiative also includes a strong push for secure and transparent assessments. Future board exams will be monitored via live CCTV feeds, with district-level control rooms — a model inspired by Himachal Pradesh. Additionally, OMR-based evaluation and standardised rubrics will be introduced to ensure fairness and consistency. Monica Chawla, a CBSE resource person, conducted a workshop for teachers on reforming classroom-level assessments. She urged educators to move beyond outdated formats and embrace methods that reward creativity and higher-order thinking. To incentivise innovation, PSEB will launch a state-level competition to honour teachers who design the most effective and student-friendly question papers. These efforts aim to make assessments a tool for learning rather than a source of stress. Dr Singh concluded the session with a powerful message for Punjab's schoolchildren, saying, "You are not here just to answer questions. You are here to ask better ones, create new ones, and change how we learn forever." With Punjab now actively contributing to the national question bank, a question created by a teacher in Sangrur or a student in Gurdaspur may soon appear in exams across India — marking a new chapter in educational equity and excellence.

Next Generation taps Sumsub for fraud protection and KYC compliance
A global leader in verification and anti-fraud Sumsub has been selected by France-based fintech platform Next Generation NGPES to provide advanced fraud protection, identity verification and AML regulation compliance as it launches an innovative payment ecosystem, including an EUR-backed stablecoin. 0 The Next Generation Payment Ecosystem (NGPES) is designed to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and digital assets within a unified solution. This will encompass everything from digital asset custody and settlements to regulatory compliance, as well as integrating IBAN transactions into a digital wallet for near-instant financial transactions. Sumsub's cutting-edge verification solutions, which combine traditional KYC checks with Liveness detection, transaction monitoring, and other fraud prevention capabilities, will ensure the platform will deliver unparalleled security and compliance. Next Generation's launch of a stablecoin, set to become a core component of the NGPES, makes security and compliance even more important as the crypocurrency industry tries to stay ahead of fast-moving regulations and high fraud rates. Sumsub's data shows that fraud in the crypto industry soared by 48% in 2024. Furthermore, 60% of crypto companies foresee stricter regulations - which are not easy to abide by, as highlighted by the fact that only 29% fully comply with the Travel Rule. 'We're thrilled to be selected by Next Generation as its verification and anti-fraud partner. Payments, particularly when it involves cryptocurrency, is a sector increasingly targeted by fraudsters, who themselves are becoming more numerous and better organised', says Ilya Brovin, CGO at Sumsub. 'Whether by forged documents or AI-generated videos, new tech - particularly AI - is making fraud more sophisticated, and so innovative companies like Next Generation need partners who can keep up with the fraudsters. This must mean full-cycle, AI-augmented fraud detection and verification - as our data shows over three-quarters of fraud happens after initial KYC checks.' "Next Generation has been rapidly building up NGPES. The past six months have marked important milestones in the history of our ecosystem. We have achieved DASP registration in France, secured $5 million in an international seed funding round, and diligently expanded our network of launch partners—including some major industry names," said Frank Cambay, COO of Next Generation NGPES. "We are entering the market with a commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology across all aspects of our operations. The DASP registration and the trust of our investors come with strict compliance obligations, making KYC/AML and fraud prevention critical. We're thrilled to partner with Sumsub in this key area of development. Their deep expertise in digital assets, proven track record across numerous projects, and global reach make them the ideal partner to help us scale new heights."
