Hong Hanh's story is a mix of meticulous preparation, crushing disappointment, and determined recovery.

She spent six months planning her July 13 wedding in Hai Phong City, importing decorations from China, commissioning six gowns and traditional dresses, and arranging 15 ceremonial trays — a total cost of nearly VND 200 million (US$7,600). Everything seemed perfect until she received the nearly 2,000 wedding photos, which she found deeply disappointing.

After the photographer admitted fault and refunded her, Hanh decided to recreate the wedding for a second photoshoot on July 26. This time, a wedding center lent her a hall, 10 close friends attended, and she repeated all the rituals — vows, wine sharing, and ring exchange — in her six outfits. Though expensive, she finally got the beautiful images she wanted.

Her social media posts of the new photos drew warm reactions from friends, family, and strangers. While some had advised her to focus on the marriage rather than the pictures, she explained that photos are irreplaceable records of emotion and memory.

Marriage counselor Le Khanh noted that while bad wedding photos can be upsetting, they should be viewed as a minor mishap in the larger context of marriage. Photographer Tran Quoc Huy advised couples to always sign contracts to protect their interests.

Hanh herself admitted that in focusing so much on decorations and dresses, she neglected the importance of choosing the right photographer — a mistake that led to “version two” of her wedding.

Foods like salmon, eggs, nuts, leafy greens, berries, dark chocolate, and olive oil provide key nutrients that protect and enhance brain function.

Oily fish (e.g., salmon, mackerel) supply omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, vital for neuronal cell membranes, signal transmission, mood regulation, and reducing cognitive decline risk when eaten twice weekly.

Eggs offer choline, essential for producing acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter for learning and memory), plus vitamin B12 and folate to maintain nerve cell structure.

Nuts and seeds (walnuts, almonds, pumpkin, chia) are rich in vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc, which protect neurons and support neurotransmission.

Leafy greens (spinach, kale, broccoli) provide vitamin K for brain structure, along with folate for cell division and nerve health.

Berries contain anthocyanins that cross the blood–brain barrier, improving neuron signaling, short-term memory, and learning, while reducing inflammation.

Dark chocolate (≥70% cocoa) delivers flavonoids, caffeine, and antioxidants to enhance blood flow, alertness, and mood, ideally with minimal sugar and no milk.

Extra virgin olive oil offers monounsaturated fats and polyphenols, central to the Mediterranean diet's brain-protective effects.

Dr. Hoang Quyet Tien notes that beyond diet, brain health benefits from quality sleep, regular exercise, stress control, and mental challenges like reading or problem-solving. Persistent symptoms such as memory loss or insomnia warrant medical evaluation, possibly via EEG, CT, or sleep studies. Supplements like blueberry and ginkgo biloba may further improve blood flow and protect neurons.

President Donald Trump has threatened to seize control of New York City, but economists and officials warn his policies pose a greater risk to the city's stability than potential military intervention. While NYC enjoys record-low violent crime and post-pandemic job growth, Trump's trade war, immigration crackdown, and recent budget cuts are slowing progress.

Tariffs have weakened job growth — only 956 private-sector jobs were added in early 2025 — and international tourism is projected to fall 17%, largely due to Canadian visitors staying away after Trump's annexation threats. Deportation policies have reduced labor participation among Hispanic men by 3.6 percentage points, hitting industries like food service, construction, and home health care.

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” budget cuts could strip health insurance from 1.5M New Yorkers, reduce or eliminate SNAP benefits for 300K households, slash $13B from health care (costing 200K jobs), and worsen energy costs. New York State faces a $34B deficit, its largest since 2008.

These pressures also threaten mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani's affordability agenda, which includes rent freezes, free buses, universal childcare, and new affordable housing. Trump has sued to block NYC's congestion pricing plan, warned of federal funding cuts, and suggested he may take over city governance if Mamdani wins.

While some business leaders back Trump's tax and deregulation moves, others warn mass deportations, high tariffs, and lost federal aid could destabilize the city's economy and weaken its ability to fund social programs.

Former Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen's abrupt March 2025 resignation after an internal probe into “personal conduct” could face fresh scrutiny due to a 2023 lawsuit involving singer Jewel. McMullen, who spent nearly 50 years at Kroger, is a trial witness in the breach-of-contract case over “Wellness Your Way” festivals Jewel co-created with Inclusion Companies CEO Trevor Drinkwater. Plaintiffs allege Kroger ousted them from the profitable partnership and replaced them with a firm linked to an executive's sister, violating ethics rules, costing them $2M in costs and $5M in profits.

Though not a defendant, McMullen has resisted deposition questions about his resignation, calling them “embarrassing” and seeking a protective order. An Ohio judge ordered him to submit a written explanation by Aug. 8, including those involved. If the court denies his request to seal it, plaintiffs could question him at trial (May 2026).

McMullen's exit, which forfeited over $11M in unvested stock, followed the collapse of Kroger's $25B merger with Albertsons. Albertsons also seeks details, arguing his conduct may have conflicted with his duties during merger talks. Kroger maintains the resignation didn't involve finances or employees.

The festivals ran from 2018–2021 with Jewel performing 12 times and speaking on 45 panels. Plaintiffs claim that after profitability, Kroger took control to make it part of McMullen's “legacy.” Kroger and new partner Advantage continued festivals in 2022–2023.

If unsealed, McMullen's written account could shed light on both his departure and Kroger's corporate culture.

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London is coming off his best NFL season, with 100 catches, 1,271 yards, and nine TDs in 2024. Known for his friendly demeanor off the field, London transforms into a fierce competitor during games, a shift teammates call his “alter ego.” GM Terry Fontenot and HC Raheem Morris praise his intensity, with Morris even being knocked down by London during a training camp drill.

London's stats have improved yearly, and Atlanta exercised his fifth-year option through 2026. At joint practice with the Titans, Fontenot joked about London's “villain arc,” noting his unwavering focus, even in practice.

Falcons safety Jessie Bates III relates, saying he also adopts a different persona—“JB3”—on the field, separating it from his family-oriented self. Bates finished 2024 ranked No. 4 in forced fumbles and No. 10 in interceptions, embracing leadership for younger players.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich emphasizes that great players must flip a mental switch to deliver the aggression and physicality football demands. With London and Bates leading the way, the Falcons hope to break their playoff drought, last reaching the postseason in 2017. They face the Titans in a preseason game Friday.
