What YouTube's new view-counting rule means for creators starting August 24
YouTube has announced a change in how views will be counted globally starting on August 24, 2026, with a new threshold of 8,000 hours over a 12-month period, a significant increase from the previous 4,000-hour threshold. The change will be implemented globally across all formats and will start on August 25, 2025. The company has previously used different counting systems for different formats, which was confusing for content creators. However, this change will not impact creators' earnings or eligibility for the YouTube Partner Program. Instead, monetization will be based on "Engaged Shorts views and Engaged Watch Hours."

Military fires warning shots after N. Korean troops cross MDL
South Korea's military fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers crossed the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) in the eastern section of the Demilitarized Zone. The troops were believed to have been conducting reconnaissance or patrol duties in an inland area of Gangwon Province. The military may have failed to properly identify boundary markers while inspecting work related to North Korea's efforts to fortify the border. The incident occurred shortly after South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung proposed talks with North Korea. Concerns remain over military discipline following a recent controversy involving some front-line units conducting guard duty with unloaded weapons.

Erdogan urges Trump to pursue talks with Iran, offers support- Moneycontrol
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has urged U.S. President Donald Trump to pursue talks with Iran to de-escalate tensions between the two countries, and offered Turkey's support for peace efforts. This comes after a senior Iranian official suggested Iran would shift to a "fully offensive" military posture due to stalled negotiations over a permanent end to the war. Turkey, which has NATO's second-largest army and borders Iran, has consistently called for an end to this conflict. The country has maintained close contact with the United States, Iran, and mediators such as Pakistan and Qatar. Erdogan and Trump also discussed bilateral ties, the war in Gaza, and a defence pact signed between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan.

Immune cells have a 'sense of touch,' scientists discover
A study led by McGill University has discovered that T cells can sense the stiffness of the tissues around them, which is used to determine whether they become long-lived memory cells. The discovery could change our understanding of how long-term immunity develops. The research was conducted through collaboration between researchers from McGill's Department of Physiology, the Alan Edwards Center for Research on Pain, the Department of Bioengineering, the McGill University Health Center and partner institutions in the Netherlands and the United States. The next challenge is to identify the molecular sensor that allows T cells to feel their environment and translate physical force into biological change. The findings could potentially inform new approaches to treating autoimmune diseases, allergies and transplant rejection, which could also have implications for cancer research.

The Oldest Existing Copy of ‘The Odyssey’ Is Now on View at the Met in N.Y.C.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has returned the oldest preserved fragment of The Odyssey, dating from around 285–250 BCE, to its galleries in New York. The relic is now on display in Gallery 162 in the museum's section devoted to Greek and Roman Art. It is described as the first early Ptolemaic fragment of the text ever discovered and is inscribed using a combination of charcoal and water via a stylus on papyrus, and contains three lines that do not exist in today's standard text. The curator attributes these three lines to oral recitations by disparate bards.

How to avoid 3 foot problems that are common with age, according to a podiatrist
The most common foot problems that are common with age are often caused by plantar fasciitis, which causes inflammation and degeneration of the plantar fascia (a band of tissue that supports the arch) and increases foot strength and weight gain. The most common issue is heel pain, which often radiates into the arch and may radiate into the heel. Stretching the Achilles tendon and plantar Fascia multiple times daily can alleviate pain for up to 70% of people. The primary strategy is to support the arch firmly with an off-the-shelf insole and firm arch support. Other common foot concerns include hammertoes and bunions, with 36% of women over age 65 having bunions and over 60% of older adults having toe deformities. Prior to considering surgery, podiatrist recommends shoes with a less tapered toe box and adequate width.
