but his run game helped spur a come -from -behind
win over the Chicago Bears. The Minnesota Vikings
began their new era at quarterback with a thrilling
27 -24 victory over their NFC North rival. While
McCarthy will receive attention for his debut,
it was the Vikings' defense that kept them in
the game. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed
his first 10 passes, but the offense stalled,
not scoring again until late in the fourth quarter.
McCarthy accounted for three touchdowns, showcasing
his ability to win. Next, the Vikings face the
Atlanta Falcons. The Bears will play the Detroit

travelers, as the days of admiring new stamps
in your passport are almost at an end. Many countries
are moving away from passport stamps in favor
of digital alternatives that are more secure
and efficient. This transition is already occurring
in some places, with more airports expected to
follow. Experts suggest that while this change
may feel emotional, it aims to streamline travel
and enhance border security. Countries like Australia
and Singapore have already adopted digital systems.
By October, the European Union will begin implementing
its new biometric entry and exit system. In business

retailers like Levi Strauss to introduce more
full -price products. Levi's chief financial
officer, Harmet Singh, noted there has been no
demand slowdown despite price increases. The
Levi's consumer largely earns $100 ,000 and over,
he said. Ralph Lauren under Armour and Abercrombie

back to the show. Let's talk science. PFAS can
repel water, oil, sweat, dirt, and heat, making
them ideal for outdoor gear. But what about the
impacts of these forever chemicals on the environment
and human health. The first PFAS were developed
in the 1930s and have since been used in countless
consumer goods. Their harmful effects on the
environment and human health are increasingly
being recognized. Last year, 59 leading scientists
urged the UK government to regulate PFAS. Studies
link PFAS contamination to increased cancer risks
and reproductive issues. Despite some brands
transitioning to PFAS -free products, a report
found that 82 % still use PFAS. Legislation is
tightening globally, with bans now in effect
or planned in several regions. Consumers can
support brands that have made the switch to PFAS
-free alternatives. The most ecologically sustainable
products are the ones we already own. And in
entertainment news... Nuremberg is generating
Oscar buzz with Russell Crowe delivering his
best work since Cinderella Man, as Leo Woodall
emerges as a breakout contender. James Vanderbilt's
courtroom drama Nuremberg, rooted in history,
is a timely and awards -worthy film. It interrogates
the foundations of justice in today's political
landscape. Crowe's portrayal of Herman Goring
is commanding... capturing his paradoxical charisma
and monstrosity. Woodall, best known for The
White Lotus, delivers an emotional performance
as a translator. The film's crisp production
design and unique screenplay position it as a
possible best picture candidate, reflecting the
fierce urgency of now. Well, all righty folks,
it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
our quote comes from the American inventor and
visionary, Charles F. Kettering. And he said,
the world hates change, yet it is the only thing
that has brought progress. And that's a wrap
for this morning. You can check out our Instagram,
YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial
videos with local news and the weather reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see
