A Florida homeowner transformed a conventional grass-covered front yard without removing the existing lawn. The project used soaked cardboard, organic material and thick mulch to suppress the grass, followed by stone pathways and plants selected for pollinators, birds and household use. The approach, known as sheet mulching, can gradually add organic matter while reducing the need for digging and chemical weed control. Research from the University of Florida also shows that carefully designed landscapes with less turf and efficient irrigation can reduce water use.

He highlighted the importance of upholding India's federal structure and suggested that if Article 370 hadn't been revoked, PoK residents might be seeking reunification.

Some habits can make a person appear distant, rude or difficult to others, but psychology suggests that appearances do not always tell the full story. Certain behaviours commonly associated with highly intelligent people may be misunderstood because they reflect the way some minds respond to their surroundings, conversations and everyday situations. These habits can sometimes create social friction, even when there is no intention to offend or ignore others.

Vikrant Massey has opened up about the online abuse and threats he faced following the release of The Sabarmati Report. In a recent conversation with Shekhar Suman on his YouTube show Shekhar Tonite, the actor recalled how the backlash surrounding the film affected him personally, particularly at a time when he had recently become a father. The Sabarmati Report, released in 2024, was based on the 2002 Godhra train fire. Massey played one of the lead roles in the film, which drew strong reactions after its release, with some critics and viewers describing it as propaganda. Recalling the response he faced, Massey said he remained proud of being part of the film despite the criticism. I did a film called The Sabarmati Report, and I am extremely proud of that film. When I did that film, people used the word you used: propaganda. People called that film propaganda. We made it on the Godhra train burning. We made it on the burning of the Sabarmati Express, he said. The actor then spoke about the extent of the abuse he allegedly faced online. According to Massey, his personal information was circulated, and he received direct threats. I had to listen to a lot of abuse. My WhatsApp number was leaked. My car number was leaked. People threatened me openly, Massey recalled. The situation became particularly difficult because his son had been born around the same period. Massey said his baby was only six months old when he was dealing with the backlash and admitted that the experience had a significant emotional impact on him. My son had just been born then. He was just six months old. I was heavily impacted and I openly said this in the media, he added. Vikrant Massey on choosing family over career Massey also reflected on his decision to take a break from acting after a successful period in his career. He said, I had a great run in 2023 and 2024 due to 12th Fail, Sector 36, The Sabarmati Report. Around this time, I was away from my house and my son was born. I was finally feeling the fame, but there was a void. I was missing my family and my son, he said. Massey also recalled the emotional conflict he experienced as his career reached a high point. He said, I was having an unbelievable stage. I was recognised by the PM. He watched the film. I was overwhelmed with the entire experience. When my son started to say Papa, and I couldn't be there, I would cry and think, I did wish for success, but at what cost? Reflecting on the online criticism, Massey said his perspective eventually changed. However, over time, I realised that they are all cowards and it doesn't matter to me what people talk about me. What matters is that my own people are my responsibility. I am answerable to them, he added. Massey had announced a break from acting in December 2024, citing a need to recalibrate his priorities. He has since returned to screen work and was most recently seen in the Netflix series Musafir Cafe.
