Indian Woman Detained During Green Card Interview December 16, 2025 14:16

A woman of Indian descent, aged 60, was taken into custody in the United States by immigration officials during her most recent green card interview. Babblejit "Bubbly" Kaur, who has lived in the US since 1994, was detained by federal agents while she was at an appointment for a biometric scan related to her ongoing green card situation, as shared by her daughter Joti. Kaur’s green card petition has been endorsed by her daughter, who is a US citizen, and by her husband, who holds a green card, according to Long Beach Watchdog. Joti informed the publication that on December 1, her mother was at the reception area of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office when several federal agents entered. Kaur was then called into the room with those agents and was notified that she was being taken into custody. Kaur was given the chance to call her lawyer, yet she remained detained, stated her daughter. For many hours, the family had no idea where Kaur had been taken. They discovered later that she was moved overnight to Adelanto, which was once a federal prison but now serves as an ICE detention center, where she is currently kept. After her family immigrated to the US, they initially moved to Laguna Beach and later relocated to Long Beach when job opportunities arose in the Belmont Shore area. Kaur and her spouse have three children: 34-year-old Joti, who has status in the US under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), along with her older brother and sister, both of whom are US citizens. For over 20 years, Kaur and her husband ran a restaurant called Natraj Cuisine of India and Nepal on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore, becoming a "beloved part of the Long Beach community," as the report mentioned. She also worked for about 25 years at the Rite Aid pharmacy in Belmont Shore until the chain shut down its last stores earlier this year. More recently, she had been getting ready to return to work in the restaurant business at Royal Indian Curry House. Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia, representing Long Beach, has urged for Kaur's release. His office stated that he has been in touch with federal agencies concerning the matter while her family is preparing further legal documents that might enable Kaur to be released on bail as her case moves forward. As reported by her family, Kaur is being held in a large shared room at Adelanto with many other detainees. The lights in her space are kept on all night, and there is constant noise, which makes it hard for her to sleep, her family told IndiaWest. Kaur has been allowed to see family during limited visiting hours, but the process often requires waiting a whole day to have a short visit. "It's a nightmare... We are doing everything possible to get her out. She doesn’t belong there. It’s very cruel," Joti expressed.

Apple Fitness+ made its debut in India on Monday. This service for health and fitness from the tech company based in Cupertino aims to assist users during their exercise routines. Those with a subscription can access workout videos led by trainers, monitor their workout statistics in real-time, and receive rewards for achieving their fitness objectives, all within the Apple Fitness app. After its launch in India, Apple Fitness+ is now accessible in 49 countries around the globe. This fitness service operates on a subscription basis for Apple users, costing Rs. 149 each month. Users can also choose an annual option, which is priced at Rs. 999 per year. However, this service is not included in the Apple One package, so it must be subscribed to individually. According to the company, an Apple Fitness+ subscription can be shared with as many as five additional family members. Apple is offering a free one-month trial for Fitness+ so that users can test the service before committing to a subscription. The company further states that customers who buy a new Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, AirPods Pro 3, or Powerbeats Pro 2 from Apple or an authorized reseller will receive a complimentary three-month Apple Fitness+ subscription, given that their devices can support the latest software. Apple mentions that Fitness+ caters to up to 12 different exercise types, such as meditation, strength training, yoga, kickboxing, cycling, and mindful cooldowns. The workout sessions vary from five to 45 minutes, providing guidance. While Apple Fitness+ is compatible with an iPhone, users can also utilize their Apple Watch or AirPods Pro 3 to monitor their individual metrics like heart rate, calories burned, and progress on Activity Rings. Through the Apple Fitness+ app, users have the ability to create workout schedules tailored to their preferences. They can choose from existing plans and modify them as needed or create unique plans based on their favorite activities, duration, preferred days, trainers, and more. The Apple Fitness+ app is connected to the Apple Music app, enabling users to enjoy music styles such as Hip-Hop, R&B, Latin Grooves, and other lively tracks for motivation during their workouts. For meditation, the app includes 12 themes, covering Calm, Sleep, and Sound, with straightforward techniques to assist users in recharging and enjoying moments of mindfulness throughout their day. Additionally, Apple’s Fitness+ service features the ‘Time to Walk’ experience on iPhone and Apple Watch. According to the company, this has been created to encourage individuals to walk more frequently. This experience includes stories, images, and songs selected by notable figures such as artists Daddy Yankee, Camila Cabello, and Shawn Mendes, actors Simu Liu and Jane Fonda, and Formula 1 driver Yuki Tsunoda.

Elon Musk's Net Worth tops $ 600 billion December 16, 2025 13:03

Elon Musk made history on Monday by becoming the first individual ever to achieve a net worth of $600 billion, as reported by Forbes. According to the report, which cited two sources knowledgeable about the situation, Musk's wealth increased by $168 billion in a single day following the announcement that his aerospace company SpaceX might go public with a valuation of $800 billion. This valuation was announced earlier in the month, as noted by the two investors referenced by the news organization. Musk had previously become the first person to exceed a net worth of $500 billion in October and reportedly owns around 42% of SpaceX, according to a Reuters article last week. This substantial share in the rocket firm significantly boosted his wealth to an estimated $677 billion by noon ET on Monday, as per Forbes. Should the SpaceX IPO go through at the $800 billion valuation, it would make Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire. Even if that amount isn't reached, Forbes estimates that Musk's $336 billion share in SpaceX is still his most valuable resource. Beyond SpaceX, Musk's net worth also rose thanks to his approximately 12% interest in his electric vehicle company Tesla, whose stock has increased by 13% so far in 2025, despite slower sales. On Monday, Tesla's shares rose almost 4% after Musk announced testing of robotaxis that do not have safety monitors in the front seat. His Tesla stake is now valued at about $197 billion, not including stock options from his 2018 performance bonus. In November, Tesla investors approved a pay plan for Musk worth $1 trillion, the largest in corporate history, as they backed his vision of transforming the EV manufacturer into a major player in AI and robotics. Additionally, reports from Reuters indicate that his AI company, xAI, is in discussions to secure $15 billion in new funding, aiming for a valuation of $230 billion. Over the past five years, Elon Musk's wealth has soared, and reaching the $600 billion milestone marks his latest success. In March 2020, Musk's fortune was just $24.6 billion. By August of the same year, the rapidly increasing value of Tesla shares propelled him to become the fifth person in history to attain a wealth of $100 billion. In January 2021, Musk emerged as the richest individual worldwide, with a net worth nearing $190 billion. He made history again in September of that year by becoming the third person to reach a wealth of $300 billion, joining Jeff Bezos and Bernard Arnault. His wealth journey continued as he reached a net worth of $400 billion in December 2024 and $500 billion in October.

High-Protein Chana Paneer Samosa Preparation December 15, 2025 20:24

Samosas rank among the most popular snacks, known for their crunchy golden exterior and tasty filling that makes them hard to resist. However, each time we treat ourselves, we often feel a bit guilty due to the calories and the fried nature of the dish. But what if you could savor your preferred snack while still being health-conscious? These high-protein chana paneer samosas offer a nutritious spin that tastes as good as the traditional version. Full of protein and flavor, they make for a guilt-free snack that fits well into a healthy eating plan. Furthermore, they are easy to prepare at home, allowing you to have them fresh whenever the craving hits. This recipe comes from the Instagram account @chieffoodieofficer. Chana paneer samosas present a delightful variation of the traditional samosa. The mix of protein-packed chickpeas and creamy paneer results in a filling that is both fulfilling and tasty. Spices like ajwain, cumin, and chili bring a burst of flavor, complemented by the crispy outer shell that makes it hard to resist. They are excellent as a snack during tea time or as appetizers for gatherings. If made carefully, chana paneer samosas can fit well into a weight-loss plan. Use whole wheat rotis for the outer layer and keep the filling lighter by avoiding too much fat. Controlling portions is important - having one or two as a treat can be part of a healthy diet. These samosas go great with fresh mint chutney or tangy tamarind chutney. You can also pair them with a yoghurt dip for a lighter choice. For a complete snack presentation, consider adding some salad or roasted nuts on the side. A hot cup of tea or coffee is the ideal drink to enjoy with them. Preparation: Begin by combining boiled chickpeas, mashed paneer, garlic, capsicum, onions, coriander, red chili powder, ajwain, cumin powder, coriander powder, pepper powder, and salt in a big mixing bowl. Use a masher to blend everything well, then drizzle some lemon juice over the mixture and stir again. Next, take some rotis and divide each into four sections. Take one section and fold it to create a cone shape. Fill the cone with the chana-paneer filling, then seal the edge with a bit of water. Preheat the air fryer and place the samosas in the basket. Air fry at 180 degrees Celsius for about 10-12 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remember to turn them halfway through after 5 minutes for even cooking. There you go - your tasty chana paneer samosas are ready to be enjoyed!

Adding Ghee to your Coffee is a Great Practice December 15, 2025 18:29

Coffee is not just a simple beverage for a lot of people. It serves as a soothing habit that helps energize the start of the day and keeps us moving forward. But what if your morning beverage could provide even more benefits? This is where ghee comes into play. This yellow clarified butter has been included in diets for hundreds of years, and it is now being added to coffee. The outcome is a rich, creamy mixture that is not only delightful but may also provide unexpected health advantages. From improved digestion to increased energy, ghee coffee is something to consider. Let’s explore five ways this easy addition can enhance your health. Ghee coffee, sometimes called bulletproof coffee, combines brewed coffee, ghee, and occasionally coconut oil or MCT oil. The purpose of this mixture is to create a creamy drink that boosts energy for a longer period without the sudden drop associated with regular coffee. Here are the Health Advantages: Supports Steady Energy: Ghee contains a lot of nutritious fats, especially butyrate, which helps maintain energy over time. When combined with coffee, it provides a more consistent energy release rather than the usual quick boost and subsequent crash of regular coffee. Research in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry shows that butyrate can improve how our bodies use energy, enhancing its effects when mixed with coffee. Improves Mental Sharpness and Attention: The healthy fats found in ghee supply consistent energy for your mind by converting into ketones, an alternative energy source that aids focus and mental sharpness. A study in Neurobiology of Ageing found that ketones can even boost brain performance in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases, hinting at potential improvements for memory and overall brain wellbeing. Boosts Digestive Health: Ghee is renowned for its advantages for digestion, as it is high in butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that supports a healthy gut. Butyrate helps keep the gut lining healthy, improves the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and encourages the growth of good bacteria in the gut. By mixing ghee into your coffee, you're promoting a healthy digestive system. Aids in Weight Management: Ghee coffee can help decrease hunger and cravings, which makes it simpler to maintain your diet. Its healthy fats create a feeling of fullness and help the body enter ketosis, a state where fat is utilized for energy. Based on a study in Obesity Reviews, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) found in ghee coffee might increase metabolism and enhance fat burning, aiding in weight control. Loaded with Nutrients and Antioxidants: Ghee is rich in vital nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with antioxidants that benefit overall health. These nutrients are fat-soluble, meaning they are absorbed better when taken with fats, like ghee. When ghee is added to coffee, it not only makes the drink creamier but also improves the uptake of these nutrients. Ghee coffee is usually safe for many individuals, but if you are allergic to dairy or have certain health issues, check with your doctor before including it in your meals. Begin with one teaspoon and change the amount based on your preference and health requirements. Having too much ghee can make the coffee too heavy. Some people opt for ghee coffee as a substitute for breakfast, particularly on low-carb or ketogenic diets, as it offers energy and helps you feel full. Nonetheless, it should not take the place of a balanced diet. Ghee coffee is more than just a current fad. It is a simple way to enhance the taste of your regular coffee while potentially offering health advantages.

ChatGPT Adult Mode to be Rolled Out in 2026 December 15, 2025 17:43

ChatGPT's adult mode, which was first brought up in October, now seems to have a planned timeline for its release. At that time, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, discussed the idea of “treating adult users as users,” suggesting that individuals over the legal age would gain access to more adult-oriented features from their AI chatbot. Now, according to a report, this adult mode is expected to be launched in early 2026, assuming OpenAI successfully develops its system to verify ages by then. As noted by The Verge, OpenAI's Applications CEO, Fidji Simo, recently informed the press that ChatGPT's adult mode could debut in the first quarter of 2026. With this launch, the platform would join Grok and many smaller AI services that provide “not safe for work” (NSFW) materials to users. However, there is a limitation. The AI company will not enable this feature unless it can be certain that only adults are using it. To achieve this, OpenAI is working on an AI-driven age verification system instead of relying on the current “opt-in” trust method. Previously, OpenAI talked about its age verification administrative tools, which utilize specialized large language models (LLMs) to determine a user's age based on their activity within the app and other indicators. Simo reportedly indicated that this technology is still in the early testing phase. It is believed to be utilized in certain countries to identify teenagers who mistakenly claim to be adults. If these trials go well, then ChatGPT's adult mode will be launched in early 2026, with the United States likely to be the first country to access this feature. It is also anticipated that this option will only be available to paying subscribers. In October, Altman announced that the company is working on a new variety of features exclusively for adults, allowing them to engage with the AI chatbot in more ways. While these features were not specifically listed, they might involve a flirty version of ChatGPT that responds to more adult-themed conversations. The CEO also hinted at the availability of “erotica” for verified adults. This announcement came after many users expressed their disappointment over the discontinuation of the GPT-4o model following the launch of GPT-5. The previous version was considered to have a more conversational style and felt more “human-like.”

H-1B, H-4 visas prudentially revoked in USA December 15, 2025 12:40

Due to the delay of H-1B visa interviews in India, individuals holding H-1B and H-4 visas in the US have reportedly received emails from the consulate that their temporary work visas were "carefully revoked." This situation arises as the US has announced intentions to increase monitoring of applicants' social media, which was previously directed at international students. A careful revocation of a visa is a temporary measure taken as a precaution and is not a permanent visa rejection. Immigration lawyer Emily Neumann notes that such revocations for H-1B and H-4 holders are increasing, even for applicants who have previously interacted with law enforcement without facing any charges. While a careful revocation does not change a person's legal status in the US, it indicates that the situation will be re-evaluated at the applicant's next visa interview. "Many of these cases had already been revealed and resolved in previous visa approvals. A revocation does not impact legal residency in the United States, but it means the matter will be looked at again during the next visa appointment," the attorney stated in a message on X. "It's hard to understand how this is a smart use of government resources when the matter was already checked earlier," the attorney from Houston noted. Neumann also shared an older social media message from the US State Department stating that screening for visas is an ongoing process. This news comes shortly after the State Department revealed that it would start checking the social media accounts of H-1B applicants and their family members on dependent visas, widening the review of online profiles that initially started with student visa holders earlier this year. "A careful visa revocation is a temporary, cautious cancellation of a visa by the Department of State (DOS). It is done "carefully," meaning out of caution or concern, especially when there are worries about the visa holder's eligibility, although this concern has not been fully established," reported Reddy Neumann Brown PC, an immigration law firm in Houston. Being present in the US during a careful visa revocation does not influence lawful residency; the person can stay until the visa naturally runs out. "The aim is to be cautious rather than regretful. By carefully revoking the visa, the government makes sure that the person cannot use that visa to enter the US again until the issue is sorted out," the firm also stated. In these scenarios, individuals can stay in the US, but if they leave, they cannot come back even if the visa has not expired, since the stamp is considered void.
