Now, Goa's cultural, historical legacy in audio-visual formats
Panaji: The directorate of archives will document the state's rich cultural and historical legacy in audio-visual formats, which until now was only preserved in paper and document form.
'This is the first time we are creating a dedicated repository for audio-visual heritage,' said Gayatri Ghatwal, scientific officer, who was appointed head of the Goa State Audio-Visual Archives. 'This institution is proposed to serve as a nodal centre for the preservation, documentation and dissemination of audio-visual materials that reflect Goa's culture, history and identity.'
Announced through a notification on May 8, the Goa State Audio Visual Archives was formally approved under the archives department in line with a budget assurance made by chief minister Pramod Sawant in his speech for the financial year 2025-26.
Govt's new initiative aims to expand the scope of heritage conservation by including audio tapes, video cassettes, film reels, CDs and digital recordings that capture the state's living traditions.
The ambitious project has two main objectives. Firstly, to acquire, preserve and digitise existing audio-visual material of historical or cultural significance — from rare spools, cassettes and early recordings of Goa's freedom struggle, to interviews, traditional music performances and pre-liberation footage that might be lying forgotten in private collections.

Once preserved and digitised, it will be made accessible to researchers, students, historians and the public.
Secondly, the archives will actively document Goa's living oral traditions and folk knowledge that was passed down through generations in its villages. Rituals, legends, songs and local histories that were so far confined to memory and storytelling will now be recorded in audio-visual formats.
'We appeal to the general public and organisations — if you have any historical footage, old recordings, videos related to the freedom movement or any such material with cultural or historical value, reach out to us,' she said.

Who is Tarik Skubal, the American professional baseball pitcher? Net worth, love life, and more
Image: You may have heard left-handed fireballer Tarik Skubal's name blazing across headlines—he's the Detroit Tigers' ace, 2024 AL Cy Young Award winner, and Triple Crown champ. But there's a lot more to the man than flaming fastballs. Born November 20, 1996, in Hayward, California, and raised in Kingman, Arizona, Skubal flew under the radar early in his career. He attended Seattle University—silent yet determined, with only one Division I offer—and overcame Tommy John surgery during his college years. Drafted in the ninth round by the Tigers in 2018, he didn't immediately shimmer—he worked his way up, posting eyebrow-raising stats across the minors before debuting in August 2020. But 2024 was the year everything clicked. Skubal led the AL in wins (18), ERA (2.39), and strikeouts (228)—earning the coveted Triple Crown and being voted AL Cy Young unanimously with all 30 first-place votes. His rise is the baseball version of a feel-good movie. Tarik Skubal net worth So, how much is he worth? Exact figures aren't public, but rough estimates for 2025 place his net worth between $2 million and $3 million—not bad for someone a few years into their major-league career. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust! Expertinspector Click Here Undo As per reports in 2025 he has earned $10.15 million, via a one-year deal. Tarik Skubal love life Behind the mound, Skubal's biggest milestone is his high school sweetheart, Jessica. Their love story began in Kingman, AZ—they weathered high school, college, and a long-distance phase before Tarik popped the question in December 2020. They tied the knot on November 23, 2021, in Phoenix, with their dogs serving as ring‑bearers—cutest wedding ever? And then came baby Kasen Tyler, born October 18, 2023—parenthood has mellowed Tarik, he says, teaching him patience in a whole new way. They juggle lives between Phoenix (off-season home base) and Detroit during the season. There are cute moments, too: Jessica gifted him a sweet set of wheels—a new car for his 28th birthday, soon after he snagged that Cy Young trophy in November 2024. Beyond marriage and parenthood, the couple keeps things low‑key, supportive, and very real. Family ties go deeper: he's one of five brothers (including adoptive brother Wil, a SWAT sergeant), and Tarik admires their support and bravery. Off the field? Pizza preferences, fashion quirks—he's the classic laid-back athlete who owns it. Once led an AMA with MLB's YouTube channel where he opened up about everything from pizza style to clothes.

Hailee Steinfeld dethrones Brittany Mahomes to become NFL's richest WAG after marrying Josh Allen
Hailee Steinfeld's marriage to Josh Allen has catapulted her to the top of the NFL WAG hierarchy (Getty Images) The NFL WAG scene has a new queen—and her name is Hailee Steinfeld . The Oscar-nominated actress and singer quietly tied the knot with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in late May 2025, closing the chapter on their two-year romance that began in spring 2023. The couple got engaged in November 2024, but it wasn't until recently that their marriage made headlines—and for good reason. Hailee Steinfeld 's quiet wedding with Josh Allen sets a new standard for NFL WAGs Hailee Steinfeld's emergence as an NFL wife immediately put her in elite company, alongside names like Brittany Mahomes and Ciara Wilson. But it's her star power, career accolades, and financial status that truly make her stand out. With a net worth estimated at $25 million, Steinfeld surpasses both Brittany Mahomes, who sits at around $15 million, and Ciara, who comes in at $20 million. Brittany Mahomes has carved a respectable niche as a co-owner of the Kansas City Current and with her Brittany Lynne Fitness brand. She's built a loyal following and contributes to the Mahomes Foundation while locking in endorsements with brands like Shop Vitality. Despite her fitness empire and sports business ties, her financial footprint doesn't quite stack up to Steinfeld's. Ciara Wilson, wife of Steelers QB Russell Wilson, also brings serious firepower. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software Esseps Learn More Undo From early 2000s chart-topping hits like 1, 2 Step to brand endorsements with Revlon, Verizon, and Adidas Originals, Ciara has maintained her cultural relevance. Her ventures in beauty, alcohol, and entertainment production reinforce her image as a business-savvy WAG. Yet, even with those achievements, Hailee's resume is hard to match. Her roles in blockbuster superhero franchises and an ongoing streak of film offers have kept her at the center of pop culture. Beyond the screen, her real estate portfolio is just as impressive. She reportedly owns an $8 million estate in Encino, as well as properties in Thousand Oaks and New York City's Midtown Manhattan. Taylor Swift's high-profile relationship with Travis Kelce has definitely shaken up the NFL landscape, but Steinfeld currently holds the edge in the WAG power rankings. With more acting deals on the horizon and her music career still viable, she's positioned to widen the gap.
