The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the hottest story this week. We learned that it will be thinner than the Galaxy S24 Ultra at 8.2mm and that it will have thinner side bezels too – enough to outdo Apple’s latest iPhone 16 Pro Max.
We also learned the battery capacities of the S25 series – a 4,900mAh unit in the S25+ matches its predecessor, the S25 will have the same 4,000mAh unit as its predecessor, and unsurprisingly, the S25 Ultra will match the S24 Ultra’s 5,000mAh unit.
According to Ice Universe, the Galaxy S25 will be 7.2 mm thin, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra will measure 8.2 mm.
Rumors claim the S25 and S25 Ultra won’t come with battery upgrades.
It could finally bring a much-needed improvement in the area where its predecessors have suffered the most.

Rust removal has long been a challenge in various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, and construction. Traditional methods often involve harsh chemicals, abrasive blasting, or labor-intensive scrubbing, which can be hazardous to both humans and the environment. However, a game-changing technology has emerged: laser rust strippers.
What are Laser Rust Strippers?
Laser rust strippers utilize high-precision laser beams to remove rust, corrosion, and coatings from metal surfaces. This innovative process employs a focused beam of light to break down rust particles, leaving the underlying metal intact.
Benefits of Laser Rust Strippers:
Eco-friendly: No chemicals or toxic substances are used, reducing environmental harm.
Safety: Minimizes risk of injury from chemical exposure or abrasive materials.
Efficiency: Faster removal rates compared to traditional methods.
Precision: Selective removal of rust, preserving surrounding materials.
Cost-effective: Reduces labor costs and extends equipment lifespan.
Rust is not just an aesthetic issue; it can compromise the integrity and longevity of metal surfaces. With various methods available for rust removal, choosing the most effective and environmentally friendly option is crucial. Enter laser rust removal, a cutting-edge technology that is revolutionizing the way we approach rust removal.
Why Laser Rust Removal is the Superior Choice
Eco-Friendly Process: Unlike traditional rust removal methods that often rely on harsh chemicals or abrasive techniques, laser rust removal uses focused light to eliminate rust without producing harmful waste. This makes it a greener alternative, ensuring safety for both the environment and the user.
Precision and Effectiveness: Laser cleaning technology allows for pinpoint accuracy, targeting only the rust while preserving the underlying metal. This precision makes this ideal for intricate parts that require meticulous attention.
Non-Abrasive: Traditional methods, such as sandblasting or grinding, can damage the surface of the metal. Laser rust removal, however, is non-abrasive, ensuring that the part remains intact and retains its structural integrity.
Time Efficiency: Laser rust removal is often quicker than conventional methods. The speed and efficiency of the laser process can significantly reduce downtime, making it ideal for businesses that rely on fast turnaround times.
Versatility: Laser rust removal can be used on a wide variety of surfaces, including delicate components that might be damaged by other rust removal techniques. Whether it’s automotive parts, industrial machinery, or historical artifacts, laser technology can handle it all.
When considering rust removal options, it’s essential to understand how laser rust removal stacks up against traditional methods:
Chemical Rust Removers: While chemical solutions can be effective, they often leave residue and may require additional cleaning steps. Additionally, they can be harmful to both users and the environment. Laser rust removal eliminates this concern by using light instead of chemicals.
Abrasive Methods (e.g., Sandblasting): Abrasive methods can be effective for heavy rust but often damage the underlying surface. This method can also create a lot of dust and waste, whereas laser rust removal produces minimal debris and is safe for various surfaces.
Mechanical Grinding: Grinding can remove rust, but it can also alter the part’s dimensions and leave marks on the surface. Laser rust removal is precise, ensuring that the original shape and finish of the component are maintained.

How to Make Fried Calamari
Frying crispy calamari is much easier to make at home than you might think! The steps are simple, and the calamari only takes about 3 minutes to fry!
Prep: Prepare the calamari rings by thawing them if they are frozen. Pat the rings dry and place them into a bowl.
Coat with Milk and Lemon Juice: Pour the milk and lemon juice over the rings and stir to combine and coat the rings evenly in the milk mixture.
Mix: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, dill, paprika, and pepper.
Dredge in Flour Mixture: Remove the rings from the milk mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Then, toss them in the flour mixture. Next, place the breaded calamari rings onto a plate or sheet pan. Meanwhile, prepare a second plate or sheet pan by lining it with paper towels.
Fry: Heat about an inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot carefully place the battered calamari into the hot oil and fry them for about 3 minutes until they are golden brown.
Finish Frying and Serve: Once you finish frying the calamari, place them onto a paper towel-lined plate or sheet pan. Work in batches until you’ve cooked all the calamari, then serve it fresh with lemon wedges.

Americans in our day think “transparency” in government essential to its efficient and wholesome operation. The delegates to the Constitutional Convention did not entirely agree. They understood that secrecy encourages careful deliberation and compromise in the political arena.
Most of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention understood how precariously their new nation stood together, and how important it was to deliberate and compromise during that fateful summer. Thankfully, the delegates established ground rules for communicating with each other that helped to ensure the success of their meeting. We could learn an important lesson from the founders when thinking about our Congress today.
Secrecy Rules at the Convention
One of the Convention’s first decisions was to adopt secrecy rules. The delegates agreed “that no copy be taken of any entry on the journal…and that nothing spoken in the [Convention] be printed, or otherwise published, or communicated without leave.”
As John Kaminski has written, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention thought this was appropriate because it would promote deliberation and careful consideration of issues. As James Madison explained to Thomas Jefferson, the Convention thought secrecy would be “expedient in order to secure unbiased discussion within doors, and to prevent misconceptions and misconstructions without.” He wrote to James Monroe that the rule would “effectually secure the requisite freedom of discussion” and “save both the Convention and the Community from a thousand erroneous and perhaps mischievous reports.”
Congressional row, in the U.S. House of Representatives, midnight of Friday, February 5th, 1858. Illustration in: Frank Leslie’s illustrated newspaper, v. 5, 1858 Feb. 20, p. 177. Library of Congress.
These remarks suggest that the delegates saw several critical benefits from a rule of secrecy during legislative debate. First, such a rule enables members to speak freely to each other while on the floor of the chamber. If members fear that their statements will be made public in order to turn public opinion against them, they will no longer discuss their ideas openly or seek to persuade each other. This would turn the whole meeting into a debating club, not a deliberative assembly.
Second, a public record can be manipulated by “mischievous” people to produce “misconceptions and misconstructions” in the public mind. The public may not read the journals and the debates, but they will read reports about them from people who can selectively quote those materials to distort what’s actually happening. To put it in today’s vernacular, reporters can take remarks “out of context” to turn the public against individual members and their proposals.
Later in his life, when reflecting on the secrecy rule, Madison described a third benefit. As he recollected, while the Convention was in debate, “the minds of the members were changing,” and if members had “committed themselves publicly at first, they would have afterwards supposed consistency required them to maintain their ground.” Keeping the deliberations secret, Madison maintained, ensured every member was “open to the force of argument” and able to change their minds freely. A secrecy rule allows representatives to listen to the arguments of others without being accused of “flip-flopping.”
We do not know whether the Convention would have been successful without a secrecy rule, but it is clear that the delegates thought the rule essential. Madison believed that “no Constitution would ever have been adopted by the convention if the debates had been public.”
The Moderate Approach of the Early Congress
The U.S. Congress took a moderate approach to secrecy in its early years, balancing the benefits of transparency and secrecy. While the Constitution mandates that “Each House shall keep a journal of its proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such parts as may in their judgment require secrecy,” these journals merely record actions taken rather than the entirety of floor debates. Since 1794, both the House and the Senate have been open to visitors who wish to watch debates from the galleries, and debates have been published in various outlets such as the Congressional Record (since 1873). However, much of the discussions in committee rooms, cloakrooms, and elsewhere were still private, preserving the benefits of secrecy.
Transparency “Reforms” in the 1970s
Reforms in the middle of the 1970s abandoned this balanced approach. The 1970s brought in a wave of new members who, in the words of one member, “destroyed the institution by turning the lights on.” In 1973 the House prohibited closed committee hearings (the Senate did so in 1975). In closed session, committees can hear expert testimony from and ask questions of expert witnesses, and consider their recommendations. When the doors are thrown open, members feel pressured to perform for the audience, seeking to embarrass the witnesses and other members of the committee.

Reformers also took advantage of a provision of the 1970 Legislative Reorganization Act that allowed for public roll call voting. Prior to 1970, most of the votes cast in the House of Representatives were unrecorded, and thus essentially secret. Once these votes became public, members began to force “messaging” votes that were intended not to make law, but to put their political opponents “on record” for the next election. This practice has increased animosity, polarization, and vitriol in Congress.
The introduction of C-SPAN completed the transparency reforms of the 1970s. The network first began broadcasting House proceedings in 1979, and the Senate in 1986. It also covers most committee hearings. As Yuval Levin has recently written, the introduction of cameras has “turned all of Congress’ deliberative spaces into performative spaces, leaving less and less time for members to speak and work in private. The most obvious consequence of this transformation has been the explosion of grandstanding in both chambers.” Today’s committee hearings and floor debates in Congress are opportunities for members to score political points, or go viral on social media, but not to deliberate, persuade, or compromise with each other.
Recovering the Lesson from the Founders
Members are aware of the problems these transparency reforms have produced. One of them, a first-term member from North Carolina, has recently spoken out. In his experience, he writes, “The same people who act like maniacs during the open [committee] meetings are suddenly calm and rational during the closed ones. Why? Because there aren’t any cameras in the closed meetings.”
Thankfully, there are still places where members can work together on lower-profile issues, where there isn’t enough controversy to attract media. (Some playfully refer to these places as “Secret Congress.”) These places provide useful illustrations of the fact that, when they are given a little bit of space and secrecy to work together, people of different political views can still find common ground in this country on many issues. Many Americans are frustrated with Congress’s inability to compromise or agree on anything. But they typically overlook the role that these transparency reforms have played in producing this outcome. The members of the Constitutional Convention would not have been surprised, and they would counsel us to let our elected officials talk more to each other and perform less for us.

I’ve written quite a few natural hair care articles over the years. Recipes like nourishing conditioner and herbal hair treatments for healthier hair. However, healthy hair starts with scalp health. This hair growth oil helps nourish the scalp and is great for anyone dealing with hair loss and breakage.
I originally wrote this recipe for men who may notice thinning hair with age. However, plenty of women are also looking for hair products to address hair health. Over styling, tight hairstyles (like tight braids), heat styling tools, thyroid problems, androgenetic alopecia, and pregnancy can all contribute to hair loss.
Over half of women experience hair loss at some point. You may not even have thinning hair but want to grow longer hair.
I started experimenting with natural ways to encourage hair regrowth for myself after a pregnancy. I realized that this hair growth oil would be just as effective on men who want to avoid hair loss. No matter who you are if you notice your hair isn’t as abundant as it used to be the good news is that there are natural options.
Encourage Healthy Hair Growth
As with everything else, the foundation of healthy hair is a healthy diet. Nutrients like biotin and collagen help all hair types stay healthy and strong. Experts recommend focusing on B vitamins, vitamin C (for collagen production), Omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins D and A.
And if you’re iron deficient that can play a role too. Iron is necessary for healthy blood flow to the hair follicles. I try to get as many nutrients as I can from whole foods, but supplements can help fill in the gaps. When we’re getting enough nutrition it can help reduce hair breakage, receding hairlines, and split ends too.
Hydration and minerals are also really important. If you notice dry hair, frizz, or dry scalp you may need to drink more water. You can read my recipe for a hydrating mineral drink here.
Oil Treatment for Hair Growth
If your locs need some extra TLC then a natural scalp treatment can do the trick. There are a variety of natural oils that encourage quick and easy hair growth. Some popular options include almond oil, argan oil, coconut oil, and jojoba oil. For those with alopecia, vitamin E can help reduce oxidative damage to the scalp and encourage hair growth.
While there are lots of options, in this recipe, I use:
Castor oil – Used for detox in remedies like castor oil packs. I’ve also used it to thicken/lengthen my hair and eyelashes. Not only does it help with hair loss but it majorly boosts hair growth. My hair grew 1.5 inches in a month after using it twice a week!
Black Seed Oil – Black seed oil has many benefits but is especially wonderful for hair growth. It can help remedy some fungal infections that lead to hair loss, and may also help avoid thinning hair in the first place. You can use it internally or topically, just test a small amount on the skin of the inner arm first before using it on a large area. Black seed oil can be irritating to some people.
Rosemary Oil– Well known for its ability to stimulate hair growth, rosemary is often added to hair growth treatments and shampoos. Adding a small amount adds a pleasant scent and increases the recipe’s effectiveness by reducing inflammation and dandruff.
Lavender Essential Oil– Also great for skin health and hair growth. It helps mellow out the scent of the black cumin seed and rosemary to create a refreshing scent.
Tea tree and peppermint oil are also helpful but I didn’t personally use them in my recipe. You can add a few drops of tea tree if desired to help with dandruff, greasy scalp, or any fungal issues. Peppermint helps stimulate the scalp and increases blood flow for hair growth.
Optional Olive and Cayenne Oil
Cayenne helps boost blood circulation and is a folk remedy for hair loss and sore muscles. If you want to incorporate it into your hair growth oil, it’s easy to do an infusion. Here’s what you’ll need:
Add the ingredients to the top of a double burner and infuse for about an hour.
You can also do a solar infusion. Simply leave the cayenne and oil in a glass jar in the sun for a few days.
Strain the cayenne out and reserve the oil to use in your hair growth oil recipe.
Natural Hair Growth Oil Recipe
A combination of oils that encourage hair growth, such as castor oil, black cumin seed, rosemary, and lavender.
Yield: 3ounces
Author: Katie Wells
Combine all the ingredients in a dark glass bottle. A brown dropper bottle can be used, but I reuse the black cumin seed bottle. It has special miron glass that protects the oils from going rancid for years.
Moisten hair and massage 10-30 drops (or ½ to 1 teaspoon) into the scalp.
Leave on for one hour or overnight and wash out. I recommend using at night and sleeping with a towel on the pillow to avoid oil stains.
Use once a week or as needed to increase hair growth.
Test the oils on a small part of the inner arm before using on the entire scalp. Don’t use it if it causes any reaction or sensitivity. Black cumin seed oil will irritate the skin for a small percentage of people with sensitive skin.
