Reds' Elly De La Cruz trying on Terry Francona's glasses is the best thing you'll see today
Baseball is the best. Just take the Cincinnati Reds pitching change on Monday in which superstar shortstop Elly De La Cruz decided to enjoy his time with manager Terry Francona. Elly snagged the glasses off Tito's face and put them in front of his own eyes. Clearly, the prescription was a little stronger than De La Cruz would've wanted. MORE: Former Yankees, Astros slugger reaches 500 career home runs far from home Tito is known to be a player's manager. De La Cruz certainly felt comfortable messing around with him. It's just a reminder that the little things can go a long way over the course of this long season. And in the year Francona returned to managing, it's been a great thing that De La Cruz has done exactly what he's called on to do.

Months after testing negative, two Nipah survivors remain in coma in Kerala
KOZHIKODE: Emphasising the agonising nature of Nipah outbreaks in the Malabar region, two individuals, once hailed for surviving the deadly infection, remain in a vegetative state, months after being declared virus-free. The cases have raised profound concern among families and healthcare professionals, revealing a terrifying, often unseen, aftermath of the battle with the virus: A brain that simply refuses to wake up. These aren't just statistics; they are lives suspended in a cruel limbo, highlighting the devastating and often unpredictable long-term neurological impact of Nipah. The region, still reeling from outbreaks in August 2023 and May 2025 across Kozhikode and Malappuram districts, now faces a new, agonising question: What does 'survival' truly mean when the mind remains trapped? Tito Joseph is a 25-year-old Malayali from Mardala in Mangaluru. For 19 agonising months, Tito has been confined to a hospital bed, a silent testament to Nipah's insidious power. His brother, Shijo, voices the family's despair. 'We thought the worst was over when the virus test turned negative. My brother has not opened his eyes in over 19 months. We just want to know, will he ever wake up?' Tito's case is particularly perplexing. During his initial month of Nipah treatment, he endured the ordeal alone, showing no severe health concerns apart from fleeting high temperature. 'Our family was relaxed,' Shijo recalls. 'But the post-Nipah period completely changed our lives. We have been living in the hope of seeing him return to life.' According to doctors treating Tito, his condition is believed to be the first of its kind in the country for a Nipah survivor. Adding to this sombre reality is the case of a 42-year-old woman, whose family, seeking privacy, has chosen to keep her identity hidden. She remained on ventilator support in the intensive care unit of EMS Memorial Hospital, Perinthalmanna, before being transferred to her residence. Despite receiving two doses of monoclonal antibodies and other critical medicines as part of the state's Nipah treatment protocol, her condition remains stable, with no signs of improvement or deterioration.

Forget Italy: Head east to Croatia and Istria
Italians are sick of tourists. No, really — they are tired of American summer visitors who travel en masse to their boot-shaped country and disrupt their lives with our enthusiasm. Selfies have been banned in Portofino, Venice has banned large cruise ships and will now charge day-trippers for entry, Amalfi has banned tourists buses, Rome won't let you sit on the Spanish steps… and Cinque Terre has imposed fines of $2,800 for the blasphemous act of wearing flip flops. Last year, in Florence, locals took to graffiti to tells visitors 'Tourists go home!' — because, as we known, subtlety just confuses people. It's gotten so bad, the BBC even published an article called, 'Is Italy Breaking Up With You?' (Answer: kind of). Advertisement To make matters worse, earlier this year, even before tourism season started, thousands of tourists overran a small Italian town, and later, the US government issued a travel warning for the country citing fears of terrorism. 4 Esplanade Zagreb Hotel Rajan Milosevic So what's an Italophile to do? Advertisement Head east, my friends, to Istria, the Croatian peninsula that was once a part of the Italian empire for over 600 years, and still holds eerily similar charms — vineyards, truffles, Italian and Roman ruins — with one exception: Istrians not only welcome visitors, they are doing everything they can to attract them. And, as of the past year, several luxury hotels have opened on the coast of the Adriatic — including several luxury offerings on former Croatian dictator Josep Brod Tito's (formerly) private Brijuni Islands (which includes the remnant animals of his former private zoo). On my last birthday, I decided to visit an old friend, Zrinka Marinovic, who runs Tailored Croatia, and specializes in luxury tours of Croatia. As Zrinka lives and works as a luxury travel advisor in the country and is therefore the master, I let her plan my trip sight unseen — and it was a game changer. I landed in Zagreb, a miniature Vienna which is walkable and architecturally (and culturally) fascinating as half of the city is from the Hapsburg empire — and half built during the Communist regime. Advertisement After checking into Zagreb's historic Hotel Esplanade, I took the Yugo tour of the city (my guide swore by the old Yugoslavian cars, once dubbed the world's worst), visited the Museum of Broken Relationships (an alternatively heartbreaking and hilarious museum full of the detritus of former loves), and day tripped to hauntingly empty airbases and homes of Tito which are dotted throughout the country. (The former dictator refused to stay in hotels and would, instead, build or appropriate homes across Yugoslavia, some of which were only visited once or twice in Tito's lifetime). After celebrating my birthday inside the Esplanade's sumptuous spa, my friend Gillian met me and Zrinka whisked us off to Istria, the unique peninsula which was once ruled by Venice and Napoleon, where just a small strip of Slovenian land separates it from Italy. But, unlike Dubrovnik or the Dalmatian islands where stars like the Beckhams, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Jeff Bezos and Katy Perry have visited on superyachts, Istria is relatively undiscovered by the jet set — despite being across the Adriatic from Venice. Advertisement And thank god for that. Despite having much in common with its former homeland, Istria is full of medieval towns topping every hillside, with vineyards and truffle grounds in between — and on the coast, pure aquamarine water, with no hoards of fellow tourists or angry locals. Our home base for the Istrian adventure was The Grand Park Hotel in the ancient coastal town of Rovinj. Opened just a year ago, locals flock to the hotel's Albaro Wellness spa — which has a dedicated sauna floor — as well as the two Michelin-starred Agli Amici Rovinj restaurant. Nestled at the end of the town's harbor, the hotel offers views from almost every room of the Adriatic, the medieval town as well as the Golden Cape Forest. From Rovinj, Gillian and I day tripped to Pula to visit the ancient Roman arena — one of the world's six largest surviving arenas — and ancient town hop (as I mentioned, there's one on top of every hill in a very hilly area). In between, we went truffle hunting at Prodfan Tarufi, just outside of Buza — one of the many truffle farms in the area. 'We had no idea what (truffles) were until 1999,' Visnja Prodan told me. That was the year Giancarlo Zigante, a local truffle hunter, found the world's largest truffle near Buje, Istria, weighing 1.3.1 kilograms. 'Until then we had always thought they were pig food,' Prodan laughed. Since then, truffles have minted many local farming millionaires with their products being shipped all over the world. And there is no better way to enjoy the truffles than with Croatian wine. And, not unlike its western neighbor, Croatia has spectacular wines. For a special treat, book a weekend stay The Meneghetti Hotel and Winery Advertisement Twenty minutes from Rovinj by car and located in the hillside medieval town of Bale is the Relais & Chateau hotel, where guests can stay in one of ten rustic chic rooms that overlook the vineyards and surrounding towns or in a guest residence. Guests can hike or bike through the vineyards before having a wine and olive oil tasting along with a field-to-fork meal — or hop onto the hotel's complimentary shuttle service which will ferry you to the private Meneghetti beach club nearby. But while inland was even opening, the highlight of the trip by far was the Brijuni Islands — once Tito's private playground. Veliki Brijuni is especially fabulous as not only are there three grand hotels on the island, as well as a couple of residences that can be rented (including one that is kept untouched from Tito's time), it is also the home to Tito's once private former zoo. Advertisement 'Every world leader would visit and bring with them an animal from their country,' Zrinka explained. While many of these animals — including the lions, jaguars, monkeys etc — died (and then were stuffed and interred in a nearby museum), there are still zebras, ostrich, Hindu cows left … as well as one lonely old elephant. Gillian, Zrinka and I spent a full day on this island, ferried around in Tito's old Cadillac, and could have stayed a week. It was the perfect Adriatic getaway— with no crowds, and all the benefits of Italy… but without the resentment.
