NFL Stars React to Vikings, Andrew Van Ginkel Announcement
NFL Stars React to Vikings, Andrew Van Ginkel Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Andrew Van Ginkel flipped the script in his first season with the Minnesota Vikings. The edge rusher arrived from Miami on a two-year deal worth $20 million and delivered a career-best season. Advertisement Van Ginkel wasted no time making his presence felt. He sniffed out a screen pass from New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and snatched the pass out of the air in the Week 1 clash. The 30-year-old went on to return it for a pick-six. The former fifth-round pick charted 79 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, and two pick-sixes, all career highs. His performance earned him his first Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors. Minnesota Vikings outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (43)Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images While the Vikings rewarded him with a one-year, $23 million extension, the NFL named Van Ginkel to the "Top 100 Players of 2025" list. The Vikings linebacker's first appearance came in at No. 88 overall. Advertisement Five-time Pro Bowler Terron Armstead featured in the NFL's announcement video and heaped praise on the veteran edge rusher. "He's like one of the most versatile players that we have in this league," Armstead said. "You don't understand how fast he is. He might be a 4'4", 4'5" guy. He's another relentless player. He plays with his hair on fire, and he has a lot of it." "Gink is a special, special player. His football IQ is really what separates him. His ability to read plays before the snap. He looks at formations. That's why he is able to jump screen passes, because he knows it's coming, like literally knows it's coming before the snap." Colts Safety Camryn Bynum shared his thoughts on Van Ginkel's pick-six against the Giants. Advertisement "That shows that he's a smart player to see that this is probably going to be a screen," he said. "And for him to not just rush the passer, he was able to get straight upfield and catch the ball from a few yards away from the quarterback, which is tough to do in itself. So that shows his ball skills." Bynum thinks that the Vikings' LB can impact every phase of the game. "He's able to change a game in every single phase. The way that he's able to just find the ball," he said. The Los Angeles Rams' running back Kyren Williams revealed that the team had to adjust plays to counter Van Ginkel's skill set. Advertisement "When we were thinking about doing like little RPO schemes of, you know, either run the ball or throw the bubble, we had to be aware of him," he said. Fans do not seem pleased with the NFL ranking Van Ginkel at 88. But the NFL star is likely just getting into his groove and might stack up even better seasons in the years to come.

Spiber Inc. and Iris van Herpen Unite for a Visionary Collaboration at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week AW2025
YAMAGATA, Japan, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At the forefront of high fashion and biomaterial innovation, Japanese biotech venture Spiber, a pioneer in man-made protein fiber, and acclaimed Dutch haute couture designer Iris van Herpen together unveiled one of the designer's two bridal looks during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2025. This partnership represents a powerful dialogue between science and art—two pioneering voices united by a shared aspiration to redefine the future of fashion. Both founded in 2007, Spiber and Iris van Herpen have followed parallel paths of radical experimentation: Spiber in biomaterial engineering, and Van Herpen in avant-garde couture design. Their collaboration signals a deep philosophical alignment, where creativity, technology, and sustainability are not separate pursuits, but interconnected forces shaping a new material narrative. This shared belief is grounded in a common source of inspiration: nature. While Van Herpen draws from the forms, rhythms, and intelligence of the natural world in her designs, Spiber engineers entirely new proteins by designing DNA based on examples found in nature such as spider silk, cashmere fibers, silk cocoons, and more. The result is a new class of material, one not found in the natural world, yet containing the fingerprints of its underlying logic. "Biomimicry is ever-present in Spiber's approach and that is truly similar to our own methods. Fusing the organic with the innovative, recreating nature's way of making a material, starting with a protein… Spiber has been able to translate a complex technology to meet the needs of designers and create something truly wearable, which is a rare quality. I feel Brewed Protein™ fiber brings a lightness and a softness that I am looking for, resulting in fabric that floats around the skin. It has a very attractive, organic, and natural presence which is embodied in the whole look. The Spiber team and I share the same attention to detail and texture—the sensorial qualities of the material." – Iris van Herpen Spiber's Brewed Protein™ fiber is the only man-made protein fiber to be successfully industrialized, positioning the company as a global leader in biomaterials for fashion and beyond. The material forms the foundation of the bridal look, where sheer organza is cut in gradient-sized moonshapes and heatbonded to the laser cut Brewed Protein™ fabric bonings. Hundreds of white coral petals are then stitched upwards onto a nude illusion tulle, spiralling down into a translucent twisted train. "At Spiber, we believe in the expressive power of materials—their ability to tell stories, to inspire emotion, and to redefine our relationship with nature. Working with Iris van Herpen, whose designs go beyond the physical to evoke the beauty of life's complexity, has resulted in an extraordinary manifestation of our mutual values. Our Brewed Protein™ fiber was born from the same curiosity that drives Iris's work: a desire to explore the boundaries of what is possible when we look to nature for questions, without focusing solely on answers. This collaboration reflects a vision of fashion that is both sensorial and systemic, where fabrics are not just worn, but experienced, and where innovation arises from a deep sensitivity and curiosity toward the living world. We're honored to be part of this moment, and hope it marks the beginning of a new paradigm in how we create, feel, and evolve with the materials around us." – Kazuhide Sekiyama, Spiber Co-founder and Representative Executive Officer The artisan bridal look is more than a moment on the runway—it is a statement of possibility. Both Van Herpen and Spiber believe that collaboration across disciplines is essential to addressing the complex challenges facing fashion and the environment. Their work together serves as an artistic and technological blueprint for future innovation. Looking towards the future, Spiber and Van Herpen hope that this is only the beginning. Their teams will explore new possibilities with a shared ambition to continue pushing the boundaries of material innovation and reimagining what fashion can be. Spiber Inc. Established in 2007, Spiber is a biotech venture company based in Yamagata, Japan. Dedicated to creating innovative solutions that contribute to sustainable well-being, Spiber has developed a new material solution inspired by nature's diversity and circularity: the "Brewed Protein™" material platform. By harnessing the power of precision fermentation, Spiber engineers proteins at the molecular level, resulting in versatile materials that can be tailored to specific needs. This innovative solution opens up new possibilities for sustainable and high-performance materials in various industries, including apparel, food, automotives, and more.

Brewed Protein™ fiber A premium, plant-based material produced using Spiber's fermentation (brewing) technology, providing a circular solution and pioneering a new category of protein fibers. Due to its plant-based ingredients and resource-efficient production process, Brewed Protein™ fiber has the potential to significantly reduce environmental and animal welfare impacts compared to traditional materials. Iris van Herpen Since its establishment in 2007 and its prestigious membership in the Fédération de la Haute Couture in 2010, the Maison of Iris van Herpen has consistently combined innovative techniques with traditional Couture craftsmanship, resulting in sensorial designs that beautifully capture the intricacy and diversity of the natural world.

Returning To R6? Here's What To Expect In Rainbow Six Siege X
After a decade of back-and-forth attack and defense missions in Rainbow Six Siege, it was most certainly time for an update. Most of us were probably expecting a sequel. But Ubisoft decided an update masquerading as an overhaul would suffice. Rainbow Six Siege X enters the picture and, with it, a bunch of technical improvements, playable content, and promises. But if it's been some time since you jumped into Siege, you're likely curious about what makes this new version so special. Let's get into it. Folks have been actively enjoying Rainbow Six Siege since December of 2015. So we're about a few months shy of 10 years—that's a long time to settle into a routine. Folks have been playing maps, operators, and weapons with major changes introduced incrementally over the last decade. But with the X update, everything changes at once. Sometimes, it's not for the better. For instance, over on Steam, there are a slew of negative reviews, dropping the first-person shooter to 'Mixed' on the platform. To be fair, many of them denounce Ubisoft's customer service, which is completely fair based on personal experience. Others, however, point toward the game's ongoing toxic community as part of the problem. It's not all bad, though. There are still more positive reviews than negative, and players happily tout the gunplay and competitive edge that make up the core experience as continuing highlights. As for the critics, PCGamesN calls it a 'remaster, not a reinvention' while showcasing the attention to detail throughout its reimagined environments, all of which change the dynamic between attackers and defenders. Elsewhere, IGN proclaims the changes fun and 'enough to keep me coming back long after I've finished this review.' That's high praise! On the surface, X doesn't seem like it's that groundbreaking. But there's a lot under the hood to consider, especially if you're a returning player. It's a little overwhelming, what with so many unique operators, weapon and character skins, game modes, and more to sift through. Here's what's new: Free Access: Anyone can download Siege X and gain access to Standard, Quick Play, and Dual Front, along with 26 Operators. Carrying Over: If you previously purchased Rainbow Six Siege and any of the content available, such as Operator packs, then everything carries over. You'll retain your content, progression, access to Ranked matchmaking, and the Siege Cup, plus you'll receive exclusive rewards. Dual Front: One of the biggest (literally) additions to Siege X is the introduction of Dual Front, an all-new game mode that features the first-person shooter's biggest map to date. You'll secure territory while defending your current holdings in a 6v6 game mode. Destructible Elements: Fire extinguishers, metal detectors, gas pipes, and more litter the maps now, creating additional environmental destruction possibilities. Visual Overhaul: At launch, five maps received an entire graphical rework, and the team promises three more map reworks per season. Everything is graphically enhanced, from the ceilings to the floor tiles. New Animations: Alongside a visual overhaul, there are new animations. You may now inspect your weapon and rappelling now looks a bit more enticing and graphically better. There are three available editions for Rainbow Six Siege X. Most people will wind up playing the Free version, with its low barrier to entry. But if you genuinely enjoy the game and want more variety, the bigger, more expensive editions come with additional Operators. Free: Unlocks Quick Match, Unranked, and Dual Front Modes, alongside 26 operators. Elite Edition: All of the above, plus competitive modes (Ranked and Siege Cup) and an additional 16 Operators. Ultimate Edition: All of the above, plus 52 additional Operators and 4 Operator cosmetic bundle Six Siege X is available now, completely free-to-play, on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PCs. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
