Quote of the day by Leila Hormozi offers a timely lesson about choosing relationships that support personal growth and future success. We cannot change everything about our past, and we should not try to pretend that it never happened. But we can decide how much influence it has over the person we are becoming. Surrounding ourselves with people who see possibility can help us develop confidence, ambition, and resilience, while constantly returning to an outdated identity can make growth unnecessarily difficult. The goal is not to forget where we came from but to avoid becoming permanently defined by it. The right people do not ignore your past; they understand it and still believe your future can be greater.

BREAKING: UAE Hit By 'Missile Threat', Iran Resumes Revenge Operation? Air Defences Scramble
A fresh missile scare has gripped the UAE after its air defence systems detected a potential missile threat targeting the country. The UAE Defence Ministry urged residents to remain in safe locations and follow official warnings, while the Interior Ministry issued an emergency phone alert asking people to seek shelter in the nearest secure building. The warning reportedly came shortly after missiles were launched from Yemen, with reports linking the launches to the Houthis, though the exact target remains unclear. The alert is particularly significant as it is reportedly the first such warning in months, following a false alarm in June. With regional tensions still running high, the latest incident has once again raised fears of a wider missile threat from Yemen.
Egypt Skipped Islamic Nato For India? Why Cairo Snubbed Turkey, Saudi, Pakistan's New Defence Club
Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan have created a collective-defence pact. One major Arab military is conspicuously absent: Egypt. That is especially striking because Cairo had joined the three countries in regional consultations before the Mecca agreement was signed. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says Egypt remains a natural partner and could eventually enter the alliance after technical issues are resolved. So why has Cairo not joined already? India could be part of the calculation. India-Egypt defence ties are expanding rapidly, with joint special-forces exercises, military exchanges, maritime-security cooperation and discussions on defence co-development and co-production. Pakistans membership therefore complicates Egypts decision. Cairo may not want an India-Pakistan crisis testing its collective-defence obligations. But India is only one factor: Egypt also values strategic autonomy and has its own complicated relationships with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Israel.

Deep-learning approach rapidly predicts where metals bind within proteins

But despite the important role they play, scientists have long struggled to pinpoint exactly where metal ions bind in a protein to get the job done.
