Myles Smith had this to say about Lewis Capaldi at TRNSMT
Taking to the main stage, the Luton singer donned a kilt and Scotland top which had a picture of Capaldi on the back with the words, 'The King is back'. He went on to give a shout out to Capaldi during his performance, hailing him as an inspiration. He said: "He's inspired me and so many of us, make some noise for Lewis Capaldi." And as the saying goes, the crowd went wild. (Image: Images by Glasgow Times staff) The star's set was fun, punchy and endlessly energetic. As Myles danced about in his kilt, which he said was lovely and breezy, he sung hit songs like River and Behind, and even performed his new hit, Gold. When performing Gold, Myles asked the crowd to show their best dance moves before stopping the tune mid-song to start a here we f****** go chant. (Image: Images by Glasgow Times staff) The star then let the audience in on a fun fact as he revealed that he once studied in the city. He said: "It's so amazing to be here. We've been to Scotland a few times, but this is our first festival here. "I've been here as a musician but I've also been here as a student." Finishing off his set with his big hit Stargazing, Myles went out to the crowd and high fived fans at the barrier. He then exclaimed, "I love Scotland" as he excited the stage. Myles and his band gave the word passionate a new meaning. As they gave their all during the 45 minute slot, they breathed life into the Green and hyped up the crowd - as well as me - for the third and final day of TRNSMT.

I did the cheapest tour at Disney World. At just $39 a person, it was worth every penny.
Epcot's Behind the Seeds Tour starts at $39 a person, making it the cheapest tour at Disney World. This one-hour tour takes guests on a tour of Epcot's greenhouses with a knowledgeable guide. We learned about innovative food-growing techniques at Disney and got to sample fresh produce. If you go to Disney World a lot, it's easy to feel like you've seen and done it all. However, you can see a whole different side of the parks by taking one of its special tours. On a recent trip, my husband and I booked Disney World's cheapest tour, the Behind the Seeds Tour, for a chance to explore Epcot's greenhouses with an expert guide. The Behind the Seeds Tour is fairly affordable. The Behind the Seeds Tour at Epcot's Land Pavilion costs $39 to $45 per person (depending on the day), plus tax. That makes it the cheapest tour at Disney World, tied with Caring for Giants (which lets you see elephants at Animal Kingdom up close-ish). That price point is a steal at Disney. Other tours cost considerably more: The Segway tour of Fort Wilderness costs $90 to $99 per person. Keys to the Kingdom, which takes you backstage at Magic Kingdom, starts at $149 a person. The SCUBA diving tour of Epcot's Seas Pavilion costs $229 or more. And don't get me started on VIP Disney Tours, which cost between $450 and $900 per hour, with a minimum of seven hours required. For those without a calculator, that's over $3,000 for seven hours — and that doesn't include park tickets or guide tip. (And yes, the 20% tipping rule is fairly standard for tours.) It's cool to see so many plants and the growing process up close. Living With the Land is one of Disney World's most underrated attractions. The slow-moving boat ride takes you through a tour of Epcot's innovative greenhouses, which use unique growing methods as a test case for how we can more efficiently grow food to feed the world. The Behind the Seeds Tour builds on that experience: You actually get to walk through those greenhouses with an expert tour guide, who lets you look at the plants, fruit, vegetables, and fish up close. There's a lot to see in the greenhouses. We got to peek into the aquaponic tanks, come face-to-face with massive gourds, and walk through the Living With the Land ride's famous "salad spinners" and conveyor belt-esque hydroponics system that grows plants without any soil. The guide can share so much more information than what you learn on the ride. Our guide was full of fun facts and able to answer all our wildest questions about why they grow tomatoes vertically or how they use parasitoid wasps to manage pests like leaf miners. They shared some incredible facts with us, like how saffron is harvested (and why it's so dang expensive) and how we can reduce water usage when growing produce with specific techniques. But by far the most impactful thing I learned is that it can take 1 pound of feed to yield 1 pound of fish, while it takes up to 8 pounds of feed to yield 1 pound of beef. That can make fish significantly more environmentally friendly to farm than cattle. Although we still eat beef, my husband and I have specifically made sure we eat fish at least twice a week now, when we'd otherwise eat red meat. Meeting Stanley the plant and sampling a fresh cucumber were among the highlights. The Behind the Seeds Tour wasn't all facts and figures. We also got to sample produce harvested that morning — and it was the freshest, tastiest cucumber I've ever had. Though we weren't allowed to physically touch any of the plants and trees growing in the greenhouses (for their safety), our guide made one exception: Stanley, the most sensitive plant at Epcot. Stanley is a Mimosa pudica, a plant that can close its leaves when you touch it, as a defense mechanism. Each member in the group got to "pet" Stanley and watch his leaves close up quickly in response — it was a cool experience that made me feel more connected to the living world around me. The tour isn't a huge time commitment, but it may be the highlight of your day. The Behind the Seeds Tour only lasts an hour, which means there's plenty of time to enjoy Epcot for the rest of your day, whether you want to ride the Guardians of the Galaxy coaster or down a couple of margaritas in the Mexico pavilion. But in my experience, it will be the best hour you spend in the park. It may even be the highlight of your whole trip. And at $39, I also found it to be well worth the cost. Although I may not be ready (or able) to fork over thousands for a VIP Tour, this positive experience motivated me to try others, like the Wild Africa Trek, during my next trip.

Stress is one of the deadliest occupational hazards in healthcare, says psychiatrist
In the high-pressure world of healthcare, where life-and-death decisions are made daily, the mental well-being of those who heal is often overlooked. Psychiatrist Dr Tarun Sehgal emphasises the urgent need to address this often-overlooked aspect of medical practice. He advocates a systemic change in how we support those who care for others. Dr Tarun Sehgal, founder of Solh Wellness, shares his thoughts on 'Behind the Mask: When the Healers Need Healing Too'. They stand at the edge of life and death, holding the line with trembling steadiness. White coats, tired eyes behind surgical masks, voices calm in chaos. The world calls them heroes. But beneath that armour of competence lies a quiet crisis — not of medicine, but of the mind. 'Behind the Mask: Caring for Caregivers' urges us to confront an uncomfortable truth: Doctors are not unbreakable. They're just not allowed to break. Across every time zone, in every hospital ward, clinic corridor, rural outpost, and urban tower, a silent epidemic is burning through the medical community. A 2023 AMA study found that 45.2% of US physicians experienced burnout. Among medical residents, a JAMA meta-analysis involving over 17,000 participants revealed that nearly 29% reported symptoms of depression. In a 2024 study focused on family medicine residents, 36.4% reported experiencing burnout. Widening the lens further, a comprehensive systematic review published in JAMA examined data from over 109,000 physicians across 182 studies, finding burnout prevalence ranging anywhere from 0% to a staggering 80.5%. These aren't just clinical figures. They are silent screams behind steady hands. Medicine has always been about solving problems. But what happens when the issue is invisible? Doctors routinely make life-altering decisions without access to the whole emotional landscape of their patients. A child's fever might carry a mother's panic. A stomach ache may be rooted in grief. But when the diagnosis is clinical and the clock is relentless, the emotional narrative is often missed. That gap between physical symptoms and unseen suffering plants the seed of stress. 'Did I miss something?' 'Could I have done more?' These questions linger long after the shift ends. This is not just pressure. It's psychological erosion. And in today's reality, it has become one of the deadliest occupational hazards in healthcare. Doctors' day Medicine has evolved to monitor nearly every aspect of the human body — blood sugar, brain activity, and heart rhythms. Yet, there remains no standardised way to track the one organ doctors are quietly losing control over: the mind. Currently, stress in the medical profession is often monitored through self-reporting, assumptions, or, worse still, silence. It is inadequate. It is dangerous. We need a shift—a revolution where stress biomarkers become as routine as ECGs. Where early detection occurs not through confession but through science, emerging tools — such as AI-powered facial expression analysis, galvanic skin response monitoring, and behavioural pattern detection — offer new hope. They help decode the early language of distress, not to judge, but to intervene. Not to expose, but to protect. Must do more than post gratitude hashtags. It must ignite a movement. It's time to build stress management systems within the very institutions doctors serve — built not on resilience workshops alone but on data, empathy, and timely care. It's time we see doctors not just as pillars of health but as humans carrying the emotional weight of thousands. Because medicine is not just about a scalpel and science, it is about bearing witness to trauma, grief, and hope — repeatedly. Look behind the mask. See the person who heals — and may be quietly breaking. Healing the healers is not a luxury. It is urgent. It is overdue.

Sunny Hostin feels 'terrible' about Kamala Harris fumbling her viral question about differences with Biden
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin defended her viral question to former Vice President Kamala Harris last year that set back her campaign in a new podcast interview, but Hostin said she felt "terrible" that it had such an impact. As producer Brian Teta joked on the show's "Behind the Table" podcast that Hostin had "single-handedly taken down the Democratic Party" with her question to Harris about differences between her and President Joe Biden, the liberal co-host insisted it was fair and something Harris should have expected. Harris joined the co-hosts of "The View" in early October 2024 and was asked by Hostin if there was anything she would have done differently than Biden over the course of the presidency. Harris told the co-hosts, "not a thing comes to mind," which was widely criticized and seen by some as a turning point for the campaign, given Biden's unpopularity and Harris avoiding an easy opportunity to create space for herself. "I knew it instantly when she answered it," Hostin said during the podcast conversation, when asked by Teta if she knew it would be a viral moment. "Which is why I asked the follow-up question, 'is there one thing?' Because I knew, I could see the soundbite and I knew what was going to happen, but I thought it was a really fair question and I thought it was a question that she would expect." Top Kamala Harris Campaign Advisor Admits She Was Floored By Democrat's Major Flub On 'View' Hostin had no interest in hurting Harris' chances. The liberal co-host openly supported Harris and also predicted she would easily win the election. Read On The Fox News App Hostin argued she felt Harris needed to express what her administration would look like in contrast with Biden's. "And now Jake Tapper wrote it in his book?" she asked her fellow co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin. "I feel terrible." Teta also asked the co-hosts if they felt Harris' answer really cost her the election. "No, right?" Hostin asked the live audience present, as she smiled. Co-host Sara Haines and Teta agreed, as Griffin suggested it did play a role in her loss. "The Trump campaign put so much ad money behind that specific clip and what they were trying to do is tie her to Biden's unfavorabilities, but more than that, just simply the right-track, wrong-track of the election… They used it to say, 'Well, she's not going to do anything different,'" Griffin said. Biden Denies Telling Harris There Could Be 'No Daylight' Between Them, Addresses Former Vp's 'View' Moment Democratic strategist James Carville said after the election that Harris' loss could be reduced to the viral moment on "The View." "The country wants something different. And she's asked, as is so often the case, in a friendly audience, on 'The View,' 'How would you be different than Biden?' That's the one question that you exist to answer, alright? That is it. That's the money question. That's the one you want. That's the one that everybody wants to know the answer to. And you freeze! You literally freeze and say, 'Well, I can't think of anything,'" Carville said last November after Trump's win. At the start of the podcast discussion, Behar quipped, "it's Sunny's fault she didn't win." Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Hostin said in November she was surprised by Harris' flub, and called it a layup question at the time. "I was surprised at the answer because it was a question that really could have inured to her benefit. It was a question that could have been a change maker," she article source: Sunny Hostin feels 'terrible' about Kamala Harris fumbling her viral question about differences with Biden

Is Lyla the best restaurant in Scotland? We tried it out
The Edinburgh fine dining spot was also placed at number 17 as part of the 'definitive guide' to the UK's top 100 restaurants, curated as part of the awards. Here, we return to Food & Drink writer Sarah Campbell's experience at the restaurant, first published in November 2024, as Ralston's guest chef series entered full swing. 'Too many cooks spoil the broth, ' or so the age-old adage goes. A control freak to the nth degree, I've always found that to be true, preferring to banish dinner guests to the living room (drink in hand, of course) while I fuss over pots and pans. Otherwise, any illusion of calm would quickly be shattered if a stand-in sous chef were to witness the almighty mess I can create even when prepping a simple salad. That's why I'm finding the impossibly fluid dance these two chefs at the top of their game and their teams are doing around the open kitchen in Edinburgh tonight is captivating to watch. The latest venture from Stuart Ralston, Lyla has, in one year since opening, received countless rave reviews, a Michelin guide listing, and skyrocketed to the top of my must-visit list. Tonight, there's a twist in the tale at this unapologetically fine-dining, seafood-focused spot as chef Alex Nietosvuori, the talent behind Michelin Star Hjem in Northumberland, is invited to make his mark on the tasting menu. It's the second in an ongoing guest chef series which will continue through to next year, with the likes of Andy Beynon (Behind) and Jonnie Crowe (Restaurant St Barts) soon to take their turn at the pass. These one-off events are delivered in partnership with NC25 Caviar, and as such, the menu for this evening includes multiple dishes designed to benefit from a rich, umami hit of this luxury delicacy. A 'four-hands' operation, six of the dishes, including Scottish sea trout pie with seaweed and salmon roe, or scallop with buckwheat and vin jaune, have come from Hjem. The rest, like crisp laminated brioche served with both ampersand and wild garlic/ koji butter or turbot with Shetland mussel and N25 Kaluga Caviar, are creations from the venue's resident chef. This sort of guest chef series is becoming increasingly common, giving all involved the chance to impress a fresh audience while benefiting from the thrill of collaboration in a new environment. Ralston's skill, talent, and inspiration from his past travels are effortlessly demonstrated through a bowl of chawanmushi, trout and purslane, immaculately presented with clean, colourful stripes layered and set just so. Read more: Holding his own, it's a squid, pine nut, and goat's butter dish from Nietosvuori that wins our hearts early on, its velvety texture and creaminess spiked by that all-important, salty N25 Hybrid Caviar, which glistens on top. We shouldn't be surprised to learn that there's a secret third player in this game, as award-winning Lyla sommelier, Stuart Skea, delivers a selection meticulously planned with tonight's menu in mind. It's an incredible display of knowledge and understanding of flavour, which could veer close to outshining our tasting menu dishes, were they not such a perfect match for each other. Things are a team effort here, and oh, does the whole thing play out beautifully. As someone who enjoys the privilege of dining out more than most for a living, now and then, it starts to feel like you might have seen, or eaten, it all. Then a restaurant like Lyla comes along and reminds you just how wonderful, and life-affirming, an experience food prepared at this level can be. Lyla is located at 3 Royal Terrace, Edinburgh.
