♑ Capricorn: Daily Horoscope for July 29th, 2025
Capricorn, today the universe invites you to embrace your inner mountain climber—steadfast, patient, and always aiming for the summit. The planetary energies may bring some pressure from authority figures or work, but remember: discipline is your superpower. Love Horoscope In love, Capricorn, your reserved nature might make you hesitate to open up, but today's cosmic dance encourages gentle vulnerability. If you're in a relationship, share a small secret or a funny story from your past—laughter can be a powerful bridge. Singles, don't be afraid to show your quirky side! The Moon's aspects favor authentic connections, so let your true self shine, even if it feels a bit out of your comfort zone. Remember, love often blooms in the soil of sincerity and a dash of playfulness. Career Horoscope At work, you may feel the weight of expectations, perhaps from a boss or a pressing deadline. Don't let this pressure cloud your vision—your methodical approach is exactly what's needed. Today, break your tasks into manageable steps and celebrate each small victory. If a colleague seems demanding, respond with calm and clarity. Your ability to stay organized and composed will inspire those around you. Think of yourself as the conductor of an orchestra: your steady hand brings harmony, even when the tempo quickens. Finance Horoscope Financially, your natural prudence serves you well, but today, consider loosening the reins just a little. Is there a small treat you've been denying yourself—a favorite coffee, a new book, or a creative workshop? Investing in your happiness can be just as wise as saving for the future. The stars suggest reviewing your budget with fresh eyes: perhaps there's a clever way to boost your resources or cut an unnecessary expense. Trust your instincts, but allow yourself a moment of joy—abundance flows where gratitude grows. Health Horoscope Well-being is all about balance today, dear Capricorn. With so much energy swirling around, it's essential to ground yourself. Try a short walk in nature, a few minutes of mindful breathing, or even a spontaneous dance in your living room—anything that reconnects you to your body and spirit. Don't forget to hydrate and nourish yourself with wholesome foods. A little self-care ritual, like lighting a candle or listening to your favorite song, can work wonders. Remember, your well-being is the foundation for all your ambitions.

Bachelor alum Madison Prewett sparks OUTRAGE over pro-spanking beliefs
Bachelor #24 runner-up Madison Prewett Troutt and her husband of two years, Grant Troutt, sparked outrage after excitedly announcing they plan on spanking their six-month-old daughter Hosanna Rose Troutt. The Christian couple cited the 'rod of correction' in the Bible referencing the symbolic shepherd who uses his tool to lovingly protect, guide, and correct his flock and as a weapon against predators. 'If Hosanna obeys us, we're not like, "Come here, girl. Pull 'em get her," which will be hilarious when we start spanking Hosanna,' the 29-year-old grinning pastor said on her Stay True Podcast. 'Which we will on the record because the Bible so clearly says, "Folly is bound up in a child, but discipline drives it far away."' The 29-year-old new mother added: 'It also specifically talks about discipline with the rod because some people could say, "Well, you can discipline them with timeouts." Hold on! It says "with a rod."' 'It will not kill them,' Grant agreed. 'She going to get a little bit.' Madi will spank little Hosanna 'in a very loving way,' explaining: '"Mommy does not want to discipline you. Mommy does not enjoy having to spank you, but there are consequences to disobedience. There are consequences to our sin."' 'The reality is discipline proves that we are God's children. It's not it's not God's rejection towards us. It's actually proof that we belong to him,' Prewett - whose father spanked her - continued. 'We are called to discipline [children] so that they may be more like Jesus so that they may be righteous and holy and so that they may understand that obedience is important.' And while the Troutts' controversial comments were technically made on July 7, Gossip vlogger Stephanie Tleiji just made the clip go viral Saturday. 'There's no hate like Christian love,' TikTok user @madisoneggimann commented. 'The rod isn't a literal rod, it means guidance,' TikTok user @thepaigechristiansen corrected. 'What's terrifying is they don't actually study the Bible or the words.' '"Which will be HILARIOUS?"' TikTok user @lyss868 asked. 'Ummm why is he so excited?!' TikTok user @ brought up Christian mommy vlogger-turned-convicted child abuser Ruby Franke, writing: 'Ruby Franke has entered the chat.' 'How is this not illegal?' TikTok user @jaidynsmith8800 asked. TikTok user @chippayyy commented: 'All I'm saying is they shouldn't be confused when their daughter goes no contact in 18 years.' Prewett - whose father spanked her - continued: 'We are called to discipline [children] so that they may be more like Jesus so that they may be righteous and holy and so that they may understand that obedience is important' 'The rod isn't a literal rod, it means guidance,' TikTok user @thepaigechristiansen corrected. 'What's terrifying is they don't actually study the Bible or the words' TikTok user @ brought up Christian mommy vlogger-turned-convicted child abuser Ruby Franke, writing: 'Ruby Franke has entered the chat' 'Damn they're making it easy for [Child Protective Services],' TikTok user @jessforvine scoffed The former foster parent recruiter's next speaking engagements are scheduled for September 19 at Trinity Church in Lubbock, TX followed by the Extraordinary Women event in Lynchburg, VA on October 10-11 (pictured Friday) 'Damn they're making it easy for [Child Protective Services],' TikTok user @jessforvine scoffed. The former foster parent recruiter's next speaking engagements are scheduled for September 19 at Trinity Church in Lubbock, TX followed by the Extraordinary Women event in Lynchburg, VA on October 10-11. On September 23, WaterBrook will publish Madi's 240-page faith-based book Dare to Be True: Defeat the Lies That Bind You and Live Out the Truth That Frees You. Prewett - who boasts 4.1M social media followers - is also every bit the influencer with paid partnerships for brands like Cupshe, Amazon, Gameday Couture, Sun Home Saunas, and Natural Cycles. It's only been five years since Delta Air Lines pilot Peter Weber dumped his winning fiancée Hannah Ann Sluss for the Alabama-born brunette, who split from him just three days after the ABC dating competition's finale. The Bachelor franchise doesn't exactly have the best track record for lasting marriages as only three couples have remained together after 29 seasons. Only four couples remain married from The Bachelorette after 21 seasons while the odds are far better on Bachelor in Paradise where 10 couples remain married after 10 seasons.

Hannah Yeoh proposes combat sports to curb school bullying, says suspensions alone not enough
KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 — Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh has proposed that a special dialogue be held between her ministry, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the National Combat Sports Federation to find a solution to the issue of bullying among school students. She said a punitive approach, such as suspension alone, is insufficient. Instead, students involved should be given proper guidance and opportunities to channel their energy positively through structured activities, such as combat sports. 'I want us to hold a dialogue with the MOE and the combat sports association to explore how we can better address school bullying cases, especially those where the MOE takes disciplinary action, such as suspension. 'We must not give up on these children. We can guide them and help channel their energy into sports. Combat sports are governed by rules, and through them, students can learn discipline. 'Bullying and acts of violence against fellow students are unacceptable, and we must help them understand that,' she told reporters during the 2025 National Combat Sports Championship. The championship, which began last Thursday (July 24) and concluded today, brought together more than 2,000 athletes from all over the country who competed in the five main disciplines of combat sports, namely silat, wushu, karate-do, muay thai and wrestling. Hannah said combat sports not only build physical strength but also form discipline among young people to train them to control their emotions and actions. She expressed confidence that sports serve as a powerful platform to help students discover their potential, especially those who are still exploring their interests and talents. 'By watching sporting events, a sense of curiosity and interest is sparked. That desire to try is crucial—if they don't try, they'll never know whether they have talent,' she said. Hannah believes that with the right guidance starting from school, every student has the potential to shape a successful future and ultimately become a valuable asset to the nation's development. — Bernama

Hugo Keenan's touch of class and what else we learned from the Lions' second Test win over Australia
Discipline swing proves vital to Lions' comeback Discipline can win and lose games. This Test match reinforced that notion. For the first 25 minutes it looked like it would scupper the Lions chances of getting the series-winning victory. Andy Farrell's side conceded three penalties in the first 10 minutes, six by the 22nd minute, the last of which cost the tourists a player, as right wing Tommy Freeman received a yellow card for cumulative team offences. Australia won that period 12-0, led by 18 points at one stage but it was the home side that were left to rue their transgressions in a costly period before the interval. They gave the Lions access to their half and the visitors helped themselves to a couple of tries. In the final 58 minutes of the match the Lions conceded just three penalties, and it was that improvement in discipline that was crucial especially in a fraught finale. Dan Sheehan lifts up Tadhg Furlong as they celebrate the victory over Australia. Photograph: James Crombie/Inpho Lions' scrum dominance finally pays off Australia won the penalty count at the scrum 3-0 last week but in Melbourne the Lions flipped that statistic on its head. There would have been a huge frustration in the Lions' changing room at half-time that their 'dominance' at scrum time in the opening 40 minutes wasn't rewarded to a greater extent than the single penalty that they were awarded. Referee Andrea Piardi was content at times to encourage the ball to be played, even when the 16 bodies lunged to earth. He was also happy to go for multiple resets which was at odds with Ben O'Keeffe's style of officiating in the first Test. READ MORE Whatever scrum coach John Fogarty and the pack discussed at half-time from a technical perspective it had the desired effect. The two penalties and a free-kick were so important in the context of ensuring the Lions were able to get field position at crucial times. Australia's Tate McDermott is tackled by Jamison Gibson-Park of the Lions during the second Test at the MCG. Photograph:6-2 split backfires after Potter injury How many times nowadays do you see a coach opt for a 6-2 split on the bench only for the gambit to backfire. It's probably worth a case study, to see how fate reacts when tempted in these circumstances. Australian coach Joe Schmidt opted for that format among the replacements, picking six forwards, with scrumhalf Tate McDermott and Ben Donaldson covering the backline. It was Sod's law that the Wallabies would then lose right wing Harry Potter to injury early in the first half. It completely skewed what Schmidt could then do to maybe change up matters in the second half. No one would fault McDermott's attitude or application but there were a couple of tackles in the second half that he failed to stick, while also trying to play a Test match in an unfamiliar position. How much it compromised the Aussies' attack and defence will only be known to those in a gold and green jumper. Australia secondrow Will Skelton runs at Dan Sheehan during the second Test. Photograph:Departure of Skelton and Valetini hit Wallaby power game The expression 'small margins' can be a bit of a sporting cliche but when Joe Schmidt and his players reflect on the 29-26 defeat at the MCG they might be tempted to curse fortune or fate. Looking at the manner in which Australia started the game, the power of their carrying, the fluency, nuance and skills they displayed on a counterattack and the ruthless manner in which they exploited a one-man advantage, they will rue not only conceding two tries in the blink of an eye before half-time but the loss of two huge players, Rob Valetini and Will Skelton, who had helped the Wallabies dominate up to that point. Their physicality in the first half was pivotal to the Aussie dominance and losing Valetini at half-time and Skelton early in the second half definitely hurt the home side's chances. Australia beat 41 defenders to the Lions 20 and made 11 line-breaks to six; so perhaps looking at what they didn't do might uncover more answers. Hugo Keenan goes over to secure victory for the British and Irish Lions against Australia in the second Test at the MCG. Photograph:Keenan shows that class is permanent Hugo Keenan's try to win the Test series provided a lovely redemptive moment for a player who has made a Test match career in being consistently excellent. His lapses in the game against the Waratahs were completely out of character, so to learn that he had a gastro bug, spent way too much time running to a toilet and lost six kilograms, explained why he was off-colour that day, literally and figuratively. There were moments in this second Test where he enjoyed some pivotal interventions, saving a 50/22, emblematic of the manner in which he covered every blade of grass, his aerial work, ability to do the right thing – twice in the Huw Jones try – and then that little 'Sevens shimmy,' to get Len Ikitau to sit down on his heels and then beat the Aussie centre to the angle and the try-line. No more deserving person to have the final say.

Miami Dolphins players are running post-practice training camp sprints. Here's why.
MIAMI GARDENS — After the first two training camp practices of the season, Miami Dolphins players ran on-field conditioning sprints. It's just the latest example of Miami's 2025 focus on discipline. "That's a way to for players to reemphasize the importance of doing the little things the right way," Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said before the third practice. "And it's something that, you know, when you're looking at ways to improve your team, like right at the beginning of the controllables are the yards lost and you didn't do a play. Pre-snap penalties, those type of things." There were too many penalties in the second Dolphins training camp practice. McDaniel has had officials at the first two practices, which is earlier than usual. There were, in particular, too many pre-snap penalties. Miami Dolphins training camp: players run post-practice sprints McDaniel indicated he has empowered players to hold each other accountable by calling for the post-practice runs. While post-practice running has occurred in McDaniel's tenure, this is early and often, and appears to be making a statement. "The leaders of the locker room, they were put in charge of being the police after practice for all the things that the officials noted that were illegal," McDaniel said. Are there other changes McDaniel can point to? "Each and every year you're looking yourself in the mirror," he said. "Every year that I have experience with certain guys in the locker room, in the core of our locker room, I learn them and how to best impact them. So there is a lot. I couldn't list how many things we've changed, but I think that's kind of the way I hold myself and the rest of the coaching staff and the organization responsible, is that you are not just doing something to do it, or because you did it before, ever. That's not good enough." Miami Dolphins' Mike McDaniel: We must look in mirror Key words this Dolphins offseason — after a miss of the playoffs in 2024 — have included culture, focus, presence, punctuality and accountability. "We're always assessing everything," McDaniel said. "There's a good amount that has changed. There's a good amount that stayed the same. You're evolving to people, and when the people buy in, you know you're headed in the right direction." After the first practice of training camp, offensive tackle Austin Jackson was asked about the post-practice sprints. 'It's something we as the players decided," Jackson said. "If we have pre-snap penalties, we're going to punish ourselves for that. Things that are in our controllables – that's what we call that. Pre-snap penalties, we can control that, so if you make the mistake in practice, we're going to self-correct ourselves with a little disciplinary action.' Zero to Hero?
