Best Sleeper Sedans: Speak Softly and Carry Big Power
2025 Audi S8 Derived from the already luxurious and capable A8, Audi's Q-ship pairs the A8's opulence with hair-raising performance without a lot of aesthetic fanfare. Introduced in 1992, the original S8's profile was significantly raised when it was prominently featured in one of the stunning car chases in the film Ronin, but today's machine is on an entirely different level (even without a nitrous system). Under the hood of the fourth-generation S8 is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 that sends 563 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels. Matched up with all-wheel steering and a sharpened chassis that can be outfitted with a sophisticated predictive air suspension system, the S8 can reach 60 mph from a standstill in just 3.7 seconds on its way to a 12.2-second quarter-mile time. Stopping power is equally impressive: Despite its size, the S8 takes just 105 feet to come to a halt from 60 mph. 2025 Audi S8 Specs

Ronin the rat sets Guinness World Record for landmine detection in Cambodia
A rat trained to find landmines in Cambodia has set a new world record. The rodent discovered over 100 landmines and unexploded objects, according to a charity report from last month. Ronin is a large African pouched rat. Since being deployed to northern Preah Vihear province in August 2021, he has found 109 landmines and 15 other dangerous remnants of war, according to the Belgian charity APOPO. Five-year-old Ronin has been named the most successful Mine Detection Rat (MDR) in the organisation's history. 'His exceptional accomplishments have earned him the Guinness World Records title for most landmines detected by a rat, highlighting the critical role of HeroRats in humanitarian demining,' APOPO said. Ronin beat the previous record, held by hero rodent Magawa. Magawa found 71 landmines and 38 unexploded ordnances during his five-year service before retirement in 2021. Magawa, a hero recognised with a gold medal, cleared landmines from approximately 225,000 square meters of land, which is about the size of 42 football pitches. He passed away in 2022. Cambodia is littered with mines, discarded ammunition and other arms from decades of war starting in the 1960s. After more than 30 years of civil war ended in 1998, Cambodia was left as one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. Deaths from mines and unexploded ordnance are still common, with around 20,000 fatalities since 1979, and twice that number wounded. Agence France-Presse Questions Why is it important to find landmines, even from many years ago? Why are rats better than humans at finding landmines?

Team Behind Hong Kong's Yardbird Opens New Izakaya Always Joy
The team behind perennial favorite Yardbird is back with a new izakaya called Always Joy following the closure of the group's snack bar Ronin. The focus is on using fresh, daily ingredients in a menu of shared plates that are always changing. Like Ronin, there's an emphasis on contemporary Japanese cuisine, but this latest iteration also has a confident dose of Cantonese influences and a more experimental mix.
