NASA's supersonic X-59 jet that could slash NYC-London flight time in half taxis closer to take off
Breakfast in New York, midmorning snack in London. Taxi tests are underway on a highly anticipated supersonic plane designed to quietly break the sound barrier — and slash flight time between New York and London in half. The X-59 jet, dubbed the 'son of Concorde,' is one step closer to takeoff after the experimental aircraft taxied on a California runway at low speed using its own power for the first time on July 10, NASA said in a press release. The ground maneuvers at the US Air Force's Plant 42 in Palmdale mark the final series of trials for the 100-foot-long, 30-foot-wide jet before its maiden voyage, which is slated for sometime this year, according to the space agency. 3 NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft taxiing on a runway. Youtube/NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center 'Over the coming weeks, the aircraft will gradually increase its speed, leading up to a high-speed taxi test that will take the aircraft just short of the point where it would take off,' officials said. The high-tech plane, unveiled by NASA and Lockheed Martin last year, is the centerpiece of the space agency's QueSST mission to produce a quieter sonic boom for communities below and revolutionize air travel, potentially cutting transit time down significantly for commercial flights. It could possibly fly from New York to London flight in three and a half hours, the agency previously said. 3 NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft conducting its final tests before its maiden voyage.

Supersonic flights have been banned in the US and other countries for the past half-century due to the thunderous sound generated when planes exceed the speed of sound — 767 miles per hour. 3 The aircraft is expected to revolutionize air travel. NASA But the X-59's thin, tapered nose is expected to break up shock waves that would cause the high-speed roar on a conventional aircraft, NASA previously boasted. The latest innovation will succeed the British Airways Concorde, which reached speeds of around 1,350 miles per hour and completed its fastest transatlantic flight in just under three hours on Feb. 7, 1996. The aircraft, which debuted in 1976, was plagued by costly maintenance and a fatal 2000 crash. It was retired from commercial service in 2003.

‘Love Island USA' star reveals ‘extremely abusive' childhood: ‘I did not want to live anymore'
She's opening up. Huda Mustafa, 24, star of 'Love Island USA' Season 7 has revealed that she had an 'extremely abusive' childhood. During a recent appearance on the podcast, 'Call Her Daddy,' she said, 'My parents, they immigrated to America and got their citizenship, and my dad, he had his own business. And my mother, she was a teacher. And, you know, we weren't fortunate as kids.' She explained that she was one of five siblings, and her family financially struggled. 'We played with sticks outside. We didn't have phones till we were like 16, 17. Like, I'm not a privileged child. I was never that. And growing up, my dad was extremely abusive. He was very abusive towards my mother, towards me and my siblings.' 6 Huda Mustafa on the 'Call her Daddy' podcast. Call Her Daddy/Youtube 6 Jeremiah Brown and Huda Mustafa on 'Love Island USA.'

'A vivid memory I have as a kid is like, I don't even know how old I was, but I remember hearing my dad beating the s–t out of my mom in the room,' she said. She also said that she was bullied at school, to the point where she had suicidal thoughts. 'When I was in middle school, there was a point where I wanted to take my own life. I did not want to live anymore,' she revealed. 6 'Love Island USA' stars Belle Walker, Olandria Carthen, Michelle Chelley, Bissainthe, Yulissa Escobar, and Huda Mustafa (right).

Call Her Daddy/Youtube Mustafa explained that because of those early experiences, while she was on 'Love Island USA,' there were 'a lot of things that triggered me in that villa. Things that I caught and was clocking and was told that I was being crazy. But I don't know if anything was done on purpose to make me act out in a way.' Mustafa came in third place with her partner, Chris Seely, during the Season 7 finale – before they ultimately parted ways as friends and she left single. Season 7 of 'Love Island USA' had a lot of drama, with multiple cast members such as Cierra Ortega getting removed from the show after past racist social media posts resurfaced. 6 Huda Mustafa on 'Love Island USA.'

Ben Symons/Peacock Mustafa, who is the mother of a 4 year old daughter, also revealed, 'I didn't have my first kiss until after high school. I didn't have sex until after high school.' After she found out she was pregnant she revealed she didn't tell her mother for a few months. 'I kept it from everybody for three or four months. I didn't know how to do this at all. I didn't even know I was supposed to go to the doctors.'

Expert reveals how to reignite your sex drive after kids with 3 easy tips & how often married couples REALLY have sex
SEX-PERT Expert reveals how to reignite your sex drive after kids with 3 easy tips & how often married couples REALLY have sex Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IF your sex drive has vanished since having kids, you're not alone. Relationship expert and Celebs Go Dating star Dr Tara has revealed her top tips for getting back in the mood. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Sexologist, university professor and relationship expert shared her top tips Credit: Instagram 3 Dr Tara made an appearance on the Made By Mammas podcasts with Zoe Hardman & Georgia Dayton Credit: Instagram She says a bit of effort in the bedroom can seriously transform your relationship and your confidence. Appearing on the Made by Mammas podcast, the sexologist and university professor gave a no-filter look into the realities of sex after kids and offered a simple 3-step fix. Here was Dr Tara's expert advice. Set the scene She explained that the first key to getting your mojo back is dealing with stress, which she says is the number one sex killer. 'You can't even think about desire if you're stressed,' she said. 'Stress is the brake. So you've got to remove the brake before you can accelerate.' Dr Tara recommends building a daily habit that calms your nervous system, whether that's deep breaths, a hot bath, meditation, or even a good brownie. Create a connection It's not all about getting frisky between the sheets, Dr Tara says reigniting your sex life starts with reigniting your bond as a couple. After kids, it's easy to slip into routines where conversations revolve around who's doing the school run or what's for dinner. But if all you're sharing is screen time and chores, your spark can fizzle out fast. Georgie answers your sex questions Dr Tara said: 'Bring back affection.' That means carving out moments of real connection — and yes, even amid the chaos of family life. Try a seven-second kiss every day, not a peck, but a proper kiss. Or spend 20 minutes without phones just looking at each other and catching up, no distractions. You could even schedule what Dr Tara calls a 'sexy check-in' once a month, which is a chill dinner where you chat about what's working in the bedroom, what you'd like more of, and what's changed. She says it's not about pressure or performance. But just have an open, playful conversation that keeps intimacy on the radar. Because when you bring back laughter, affection and proper grown-up connection, desire follows naturally. Sexy Mindfulness The third tip was sexual mindfulness. She says sexual meditation has been proven to help women rebuild desire and enjoy sex more. The sexologist even has a guided meditation tutorial on Youtube. Dr Tara said: 'It's helped women recovering from cervical cancer feel sexy again. "If it works for them, it can work for anyone." And if you need a little help in the toy department, Dr Tara's got you covered there too, revealing her top pick for a quiet but powerful vibrator that's 'like the Dyson of sex toys.' 'It's so quiet you can use it in the car. It looks like lip gloss. I even wore it as a necklace – no one knew!' She recommends the Crave vibrator - a posh 24-carat gold vibrator that had her "shaking" till she was "numb". The vibrator retails for a pricey £125, but Tara claims it's worth every penny and even keeps one in her handbag. The doc also tackled questions from mums struggling with mismatched libidos, post-orgasm sensitivity and partners with no sex drive. Her advice was simple. Stop bottling it up and talk. Dr Tara said: 'You should be able to talk about sex with your partner. It's your chosen person. "If your drive is higher, take care of yourself first. Masturbate, feel empowered, then invite your partner in. "That confidence is magnetic.' And if you've ever wondered how often other couples are doing it, you're not alone. How long should you wait before having sex after birth? AFTER giving birth, it's generally recommended to wait six weeks before resuming sexual activity. This time frame allows your body to heal and recover, particularly after vaginal or cesarean deliveries. Here's why: Physical Healing: The body undergoes many changes during childbirth, including tears or incisions that need time to heal, as well as the uterus shrinking back to its normal size. The six-week period allows for proper healing of any stitches or incisions and reduces the risk of infections. Lochia (Postpartum Bleeding): After birth, you'll experience lochia, a discharge that can last up to six weeks. Resuming sex before this has stopped can increase the risk of infection. Hormonal Changes: Hormones fluctuate significantly post-birth, and you may experience vaginal dryness or discomfort due to lower estrogen levels. Waiting gives your body time to regain balance. Emotional Readiness: It's also important to be emotionally ready. The postpartum period can be overwhelming with physical recovery, caring for your newborn, and adjusting to new life dynamics. Take your time to reconnect with your partner emotionally and physically. Despite this, according to the NHS, "there are no rules about when to start having sex again after you have given birth." The NHS explained: "You'll probably feel sore as well as tired after your baby is born, so don't rush into it." Dr Tara says married couples of 10 years average sex once every two weeks. But she revealed that the happiest ones get down to it once a week. 'You don't need hours,' she said. 'Even 10 minutes can change the energy in your relationship and in yourself.' The sexologist claimed people who have a higher orgasm rate "make more money" and even help you to network as she claims orgasming can make a person "magnetic" to others. So if the spark's faded a bit post-babies, don't panic. A few mindful moves, a sexy chat, and a decent vibrator could be all it takes to bring the fire back.

Fact-Checking Viral Video: Internet Thinks Mexican Woman Caught Shoplifting In US Is Indian
Last Updated: A simple fact check shows that the viral video is of a Mexican woman apprehended for alleged shoplifting by concealing garments under her dress and posing as a pregnant woman After an Indian woman was caught trying to leave a Target store in the US without paying for the items in her shopping cart, a video of a woman in handcuffs allegedly shoplifting has gone viral. But, the two cases are not the same. A simple fact check shows that the viral video, in fact, shows a Mexican woman apprehended for alleged shoplifting by concealing garments under her dress and posing as a pregnant woman. As for the Indian woman, her video footage is available on YouTube and extracted from a police bodycam, in which a Target employee is accusing her of spending seven hours in the store and then trying to leave without paying for the items in her cart. The Mexican woman in the viral video, circulating online, has been falsely identified as an Indian tourist Anaya Avalani. Many have shared the video saying Indian tourists are damaging the country's reputation abroad by indulging in such acts. One of the users, who shared the video on X, said in Hindi (translated by Grok on X): '…Let the whole world witness the disgrace… This Anaya Avalani went to America. She entered a store, shopped for 7 hours, stole goods worth 1300 dollars. Her actions were caught on CCTV, now with handcuffs on her wrists, the investigation is ongoing with rounds of questioning" (sic) भारत का डंका बच रहा करवाओ पूरी दुनिया में बेइज्जती करवाओ..ये अनाया अवलानी है जो अमरीका गईं थीं। एक स्टोर में घुसीं, 7 घंटे शॉपिंग किया, 1300 डॉलर का सामान चुरायाCCTV में इनकी हरकतें कैद हुई, अब हाथों में हथकड़ी, सवाल जवाब के दौर के साथ इन्वेस्टिगेशन चल रही है — A K Bhohariya (@k54176) July 15, 2025 News18 confirmed that the video is of a Mexican woman, who was caught red-handed by the authorities. Many internet users in the comments below also said the video is not of the Indian tourist, but a Mexican woman. The Indian tourist's video, as per an NDTV report, was originally posted by a Mexican news platform called Record on May 1 with the headline: 'Woman fakes pregnancy to steal pants and T-shirts from Coppel". A Youtube channel called 'EIUniversalMex' had also shared the video on May 5 with the description: 'A woman pretended to be pregnant to shoplift clothes, but was caught red-handed. The incident quickly became a trend on social media". Both the videos have surfaced on the internet within a span of three months. But the original video of the Indian tourist shows her spending seven hours at a Target store and, as per the footage, she even gave a false name – Anaya – claiming that she did not have any ID on her at the time. She was, however, later identified as Jamisha Avalani, who was visiting the US to meet family members. 'We saw this woman roaming around the store for the last 7 hours. She was picking up items, checking her phone, moving between aisles, and eventually tried to walk out the west gate without paying," a staffer is quoted from the video clip on YouTube.
