Bella Hadid Braless: Photos of the Model Not Wearing a Bra

To say Bella Hadid rarely wears a bra is hardly an exaggeration. Whether the supermodel is strutting down the runway at Paris Fashion Week or posing on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, Bella is A-OK with going braless.
“I’m really proud to be a woman,” the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum said during a 2016 interview with Glamour magazine. “I love that women can be feminine but also powerful. You know, free the nipple!” Bella also suggested that her mom, Yolanda Hadid, being from the Netherlands influenced her feelings on showing skin.

No Bra, No Problem! Photos of Your Favorite Celebrities Going Braless

“I mean, my mom is European. My whole family is European. We were always very comfortable with our bodies,” she explained. “It’s fine if you don’t want to show your body like that. But if a woman wants to show her body, I’m all for it. Everybody loves a little nip.”

As it happens, Bella’s longtime best friend and fellow model Kendall Jenner feels similarly about freeing the nipple. “I really don’t see what the big deal is with going braless. I think it’s cool and I really just don’t care! It’s sexy, it’s comfortable and I’m cool with my breasts. That’s it!” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star shared on her now-defunct app in 2016.

“It’s also a fun way to show off my different nipple rings,” Kendall added, before diving into her decision to get her nipples pierced in the first place. “I think people are obsessed with the topic because it seems so unexpected of me. My sisters were honestly shocked that I did it,” she wrote. “I was going through a period in my life, having a rough time, being a rebel and was like, ‘Let’s just do it.’”
Based on several photos of Bella, she, too, has one of her nipples pierced. Although, the former Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show star has never opened up about it!

Hamas Approves New Gaza Ceasefire Plan, Reports Say
Hamas, One Day Later, Says “Okay, Let’s Pause the Chaos”

Picture this: a Monday that starts with the usual buzz of gutter politics and ends with an unexpected plot twist. According to multiple international reporters and trusted Israeli media, Hamas just handed a thumbs‑up to a ceasefire proposal that popped onto the scene the previous day.

Point‑by‑Point Breakdown
- Full Confirmation – “We’re on board.” Hamas sent the news straight to the mediator teams.
- Time‑stamp – Arrived January 22nd, and news hit the ears January 23rd.
- Sources – Two sets of reporters: one from international news networks, and one from Israeli outlets.
- What Was on the Table? – The deal itself isn’t spelled out in the snippet, but now both sides know the “stop the gunfire” part isn’t just a hopeful phrase.
It’s a big headline, but the human side? It’s a mix of tension, hope, and a dash of humor: a moment when two sides say, “Hold up, maybe we can actually get a break.” Whether this pause translates into real calm or the grand illusion of peace, only time will tell.

Why the Delight and the Jitter

On one hand, it’s all thumbs‑up vibes – a ceasefire means less blood, more talks, and a chance to breathe. On the other, the climate is so choppy that a single acceptance can feel like a BTL (Belly‑To‑Lip) moment of irony: “We were dreaming of a ceasefire in other papers, now it’s here and that. Nice surprise, right?”

Ceasefire Talks in Gaza: A Drama with Unexpected Twists

Picture this: a tense negotiation round that feels like a chess match, but the pieces keep rearranging themselves. On Monday, Hamas, the controversial Gaza group, quietly nodded their agreement to the latest ceasefire pitch. It wasn’t a grand handshake; it was more of a hopeful sigh, citing their own officials for the update.

The Deal in a Nutshell
- 60‑Day Pause – A proposed breathing space that could give both sides a chance to lick their wounds.
- Two‑Step Hostage Release – The plan wants the remaining prisoners freed gradually, rather than all at once.
- Revised Offer – Egyptian & Qatari mediators tweaked the original Hamas proposal, hoping to smooth out the rough edges.
In other words, it looks like Hamas is willing to step off the battlefield, at least for a bit. They’ll let Israel know they’re open to a sweet‑and‑sour exchange—yet only if they trust the peace won’t turn into an all‑out war.

Israel’s Bold Move

Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz took a hardline stance this Monday. He told senior IDF officers that the key to the deal was lying in controlling the dust‑laden streets of Gaza City. “Taking full control of Gaza City,” he said, “will sink Hamas and strip the military wing of its nerve‑wracking backbone.”
Katz hinted the increasing power of Hamas in the city was a ticking bomb that could blow up the entire operation if left unchecked.

US Angle: A Trump Throw‑in

Not to be left out, Donald Trump chimed in on social media. “We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed,” he tweeted. The former president’s words sting a little — he’s basically saying the quickest path to safety for the captives is a direct assault.

Where We Stand
- Humanitarian Concerns – With famine creeping in, the international community fears a growing catastrophe is looming.
- Negotiations Not Settled – The ceasefire deal is still shaky; any collapse could lead to a fluid of carcasses walking across the street.
- Future Scope – It remains to be seen if the ceasefire will hold or be shattered like a soap‑opera finale.
The whole scene is a little like watching a high‑stakes game of “Monopoly” where stakes are real lives, and the board moves from one side of the street to the other. Keep your eyes peeled, because in Middle East politics, the next move can rewrite an entire chapter—and there might be food‑covered jokes to keep it moving.

Metal Contamination Triggers Biscuit Recall in Spain
Heads Up: Fontaneda’s “Pim’s Orange Biscuits” Are Under Recall

Why You Should Pay Attention

It turns out that something’s slightly off with that bright orange snack you thought was a sweet treat. The manufacturer has decided to pull every batch of Pim’s Orange Biscuits from shelves because of a potential safety issue. Yep, that means your pantry may have a bit of citrus mystery on its hands.

What to Do If You’ve Got One
- Stop Eating: Throw away that bag at the moment you hear this—no more crunching on those orange wonders.
- Check the Label: Look for a recall notice or a warning stamp on the packaging that says this batch is affected.
- Report It: Contact the brand directly, call the store you bought it from, or head over to the official recall portal to file a claim.
- Keep Your Kitchen Clean: Receive the refund, and make sure to throw out any leftovers that might still have the orange kick.
So, next time you’re planning a snack break, remember that those zesty biscuits might be a bit too “fun” right now. Stay safe, stay sweet, and keep that candy stash chilly!

Metallic Mystery: Spain’s Orange Biscuits Get a Recall

Picture this: you’re popping a Paleo‑Pim’s Orange Biscuit, expecting a sweet citrus burst, and instead you discover… a tiny metal speck. That’s precisely what’s happened to one batch of Fontaneda cookies, sparking a surprise recall that’s been making waves across several Spanish regions.

Why the Fuss?

The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) issued a heads‑up after Mondelēz International reported that the batch numbered OHT1153212 might contain metallic particles. While the company reassures that only this batch is affected, AESAN has urged folks to ditch those biscuits if they’re at home.

Health Headlights
- Metal contamination isn’t just a taste issue—it can slowly accumulate and wreak havoc on your nervous system, liver, and kidneys.
- That’s why the safety agency is playing it safe: no eating until the mystery is solved.
Where Did the Cookies Go?

Initially shipped to:
- Andalusia
- Balearic Islands
- Castilla‑La Mancha
- Catalonia
- Cantabria
- Valencia
- Basque Country
…but there’s a chance they might’ve hit other areas. KEEP YOUR EYE ON YOUR FRIDGE!

A Message from Mondelēz

“We’re sorry for the inconvenience. We’re sticking to our promise of quality and safety,” they said. And yes, the rest of the Fontaneda lineup stays squeaky‑clean.

What Should You Do?
- Check the batch number on any orange biscuits you own.
- If it matches OHT1153212, toss them out. No need to crunch them; the danger’s in the metal, not the taste.
- Keep an eye on your local news and future updates—new distribution could mean you’re in the loop.
So, if you’re in one of the affected zones, you might want to swap that orange biscuit for a more reliable treat—maybe a crunchy granola bar or a plain wafer. Keep your snacks safe and your taste buds happy!

Mastering Autoflower and Traditional Cannabis Seeds in British Columbia
Why Autoflower Seeds Rock for BC Growers

Hey there, bud champs! If you’re planting in British Columbia, picking the right feminized seeds is your ticket to a thriving garden. No sweat, no drama – just green, bountiful buds.

Top‑Tried Strains for the Pacific Northwest
- Royal Critical Auto – Handles the chill and the rain like a champ.
- Fast Bud #2 – Grows fast, stays tough, and gives a hefty haul even to green thumbs.
These plants are built to survive the local weather rollercoaster, so even first‑time growers can boast about impressive yields.

Why Quality Genomics Matter

No one likes plant disappointment. When you’re shopping, lock eyes with sellers who dish out:
- Full lineage info – Know the family tree.
- Lab test results – Verify potency and purity.
- A track record of rapid growth cycles (eight‑to‑ten weeks from seed to harvest).
Light it Right

Autoflowers don’t demand a strict daylight schedule. In BC’s long summer nights, give them a generous 18–24 hour light window. More light, more grow! Try both indoor and outdoor setups to see what feels best for your style.

Keep an Eye on Nutrients

Whether you’re going soil or hydroponics, a steady check on pH and nutrient levels keeps your plants happy. Organic fertilizers formulated for short‑life cannabis are a sweet spot—grow healthy without the chemical buzz.

Why Auto‑Flowering Plants Are a Game‑Changer for BC Growers

*

Imagine growing weed that’s practically the plant equivalent of an espresso shot – short, sweet, and ready to deliver a bang of potency in a flash. That’s the spirit of auto‑flowering strains that are shaking up the BC cultivation scene.

Speed is the name of the game – these plants can finish their life cycle in as little as 8–10 weeks, packing in multiple harvests during one season.
No need to juggle light schedules; they automatically switch from veg to bloom as soon as they’re ready.
They’re the friendly giants in regions with fickle daylight, adapting smoothly whether the sun is a diva or a shy star.

Less Hassle, More Harvest

For growers overwhelmed by the day‑and‑night dance of traditional strains, auto‑flowering plants open a door to simpler, more predictable cultivation. With fewer variables to manage, you can spend less time fiddling and more time enjoying the fruits (and buds) of your labor.

What Doesn’t Work? Plain Vanilla Light Cycles

Traditional strains rely heavily on controlled lighting – 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark to trigger flowering. If you’re swimming in a market where daylight hours do a relay race, somewhere between plan, tend, and harvest, you’ll find a few tricky spots.

Myth‑Busting

There’s a common misconception that auto‑flowers are just for “quick‑hits.” The truth is: they’re robust crops that stand up to a variety of climatic challenges. Whether your plants are sweating in a sunny gro vacuum or shivering in chilly corners, they grow and thrive.

In short, if you’re looking to streamline your growing process and squeeze more out of your season, it’s worth adding these speedy, adaptable plants to your lineup. Happy planting!

Moreover, the resilience of these plants against pests and diseases enhances the likelihood of a successful yield. Their robust genetic makeup allows them to thrive in outdoor settings, making them ideal for the diverse microclimates in British Columbia. Growers can expect easier maintenance and potentially higher harvest quality due to the uniformity in growth patterns.
Another key advantage is the reduced space requirement. These varieties tend to be smaller, allowing cultivators to maximize limited areas, whether in an indoor setup or small outdoor gardens. This compact nature also makes them suitable for discreet cultivation, catering to those who prioritize privacy.
Additionally, a wide variety of flavors and effects is available, catering to different preferences. This diversity allows growers to experiment and find the ideal strains that will meet both personal and market demand. It’s advisable to research and select strains that are good suited for the local environment, ensuring optimal results.
Finally, the quicker turnaround means that growers can respond dynamically to market trends, capitalizing on demand more swiftly than those reliant on longer flowering varieties. This agility can lead to increased profitability and sustainability within the cultivation process in BC.

Optimal Growing Conditions for Autoflower Cannabis in British Columbia

Give Your Plants a Luxury Getaway: The Ultimate Care Guide

1. Keep the Climate Just Right

Daytime temps should hover between 20°C and 26°C – that’s sun‑kissed bliss.
Let the night chill a bit to around 18°C – like a gentle, overnight hug.
Consistency keeps the little green folks happy and free from stress.

2. Soil That’s a Green Thumb’s Dream

Pick well‑draining soil enriched with organic loot – think compost, kitchen scraps, or leaf mold.
Target a pH of 6.0 to 6.8. That sweet spot lets plants gobble up nutrients like a hungry snack.

3. Light Up Their Lives

Deliver 18 to 24 hours of light daily. Plants aren’t sleep‑deprived, but they adore a steady glow.
Use full‑spectrum LED lights or HID lamps to mimic the sun’s golden touch.
Strong light = strong growth, so no shade vibes.

4. Humidity: The Fine Balance

In the seedling phase, aim for 65–70% humidity. It’s like a cozy blanket for tiny sprouts.
Gradually drop to 40–50% during flowering to kick mold and mildew to the curb.

5. Watering Wisdom

Check the top inch of soil. Water only when it feels dry – like pulling a dry finger out of a damp puddle.
Overwatering? That’s a root rot recipe. Keep pots well‑drained and water responsibly.

6. Nutrients: The Secret Sauce

Start with a balanced fertilizer during vegetative growth – the all‑rounder that covers nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
Flip to a bloom‑specific formula once flowers bud. That extra push makes petals pop.
Don’t forget micronutrients like magnesium and calcium – they’re the silent heroes that keep plants sparkling.

With these simple, oh‑so‑friendly rules, you’ll transform your green space into a thriving, stress‑free paradise. Happy gardening!

Keeping Your Cannabis Grow Space Fresh and Bug-Free

Why Airflow Is a Must‑Have

Stale air can feel as bad as an empty fridge, and it’s a recipe for weak stems. Keep the vibes flowing by using low‑speed fans. They’ll circulate the air without blowing the plants into a windy death sentence.

Fan‑Fun Tips

Position wisely: Place fans on the far side of the room so the breeze never turns into a personal grooming session for your seedlings.
Set the speed: A gentle hum is enough—think of it more like a radiator than a hairdryer.
Timing matters: Run the fans when the pot heat peaks, not when the plant is already cooled. It’s a dance of temperature control.

Stop Pests and Pickles Before They Start

Cleanliness is the best pesticide. A tidy grow area means fewer bugs to feast on your buds. Still needing an extra layer? Consider organic options—like neem oil or pyrethrin—so the garden stays green without the chemical sting.

Organic Pesticide Ideas

Neem Oil: A natural killer for a wide range of insects.
Pyrethrin: Works fast, and it’s plant‑friendly.
Diatomaceous Earth: A crunchy barrier that bugs can’t swallow.

Remember, a breezy, clean grow chamber and a touch of organic protection are your best friends for thriving cannabis plus a happier grow environment!

Choosing the Right Autoflower Strains for Your Climate and Needs

Get Your Green Game On: Picking Strains that Love Your Local Weather

Choosing the right buds is like matching a hat to your outfit – pick the one that fits the vibe of your region. In British Columbia the weather can be as dramatic as a movie plot, so let’s break it down by where you’re growing.

Coastal Chill (Moist & Mild)

Blueberry – The sweet, fruity darling that thrives in damp, cool breezes.
Girl Scout Cookies – The showstopper that loves a bit of humidity and delivers plenty of aroma.

Why these? They’re built to handle the sea‑water sprinkle and the occasional drizzle, keeping pests at bay and flavor rich.

Inside the Dragon’s Den (Dry & Hot)

Critical Mass – A hardy, heat‑tolerant champ that can handle those blister‑hot days.
White Widow – The classic, drought‑resistant hero that keeps rolling even when the sun’s on full throttle.

These strains won’t flag under the sun and are great for cutting down water bills while still packing a punch.

Just a quick rule of thumb: match the climate to the strain’s “personality.” If you’re feeling a bit breezy, stick with the coastal champs. If your interior’s beating on a high heat track, go for the resilient darlings.

Happy growing – and remember, the right strain is the first step toward a lush, unforgettable harvest!

Indica vs. Sativa: Know Your Preferences

Choosing Your Cannabis Companion

Indica: The Short & Sweet Roots

Size: Think of a cozy houseplant—shorter, bushier, perfect for teeny‑tiny pots.
Space: Ideal for tight spots and secret gardens where you want to stay low‑profile.
Yield: Not the tallest, but you’ll get a solid harvest that’s easy to manage.

Sativa: The Tall, Air‑Minded Outgrower

Size: Reach up, reach out—taller and lankier, great for the fearless who love a bit of drama.
Space: Needs a generous area to spread its wings and soak up light.
Yield: More height means potentially more buds, but only if you give it the sunshine it craves.

Bottom line? Pick the plant that fits your space, light, and vibe. Indica keeps it low‑key, while Sativa sets the stage for a grand, light‑loving bloom. Happy growing!

Yield and Potency Considerations

Choosing the Right Plant for Your Green Goals

When you’re picking cultivars, think about yield and potency—the yin and yang of your farming ambitions. Stiles like Amnesia Haze are champs on the THC front, but brace yourself for a leaner harvest; they’re more about swagger than standing on your shoulder. On the other side of the spectrum, Northern Lights offers a comfy middle ground: decent potency and a nice bumper crop that won’t leave you in the weeds.

How to Keep it Real

Amnesia Haze – Ready to blow the mind. Great THC, but yield might scream, “I’m not here for the bulk!”
Northern Lights – The “everyday hero.” You’ll get a fair amount of buds and a decent THC punch.
Measure the trade‑offs: Does your goal require a heavy-duty harvest or a mind‑melt?

Take a deep dive into the specs of each strain, then pick the one that matches your own personal or commercial goals. Happy growing!

When Seth Winterroth left his job at GE Ventures to help launch Eclipse in 2015, robotics was on his mind. Or more specifically, the number of early-stage robotics startups that were struggling to launch due to lack of interest.

“These are teams that had just finished their postdocs at Waterloo, or CMU, or MIT and were starting robotics companies, and the refrain that I continually heard from the startups was, ‘Hey, we’re having a really hard time raising institutional venture capital,’” Winterroth told TechCrunch. “At the time in Silicon Valley, most venture capital was going into the very mature application layer or the application layer of some very mature computing platforms.”

A lot has changed since then.

Now, after investing in robotics startups for 10 years, Winterroth, a partner at Eclipse, said the time to invest in robotics has never been better. The robotics startup market has matured and the hardware and software powering these bots has gotten significantly better — and cheaper.

Venture investing in the category is gaining momentum as well. Investors poured $6 billion into robotics startups in the first seven months of 2025 according to Crunchbase data. The data company predicts that this year’s funding totals will eclipse 2024, making it one of the only non-AI categories to experience a boost in funding.

While one could argue that robotics is seeing a surge in investor interest because of AI — and it’s not wrong to acknowledge AI’s role in the advancement of robotic tech — investors who have focused on the category longer than the last few years said the industry didn’t get to this point just because of advancements in AI over the past few years.

Reaching maturation

The real catalyst for the industry to start gaining momentum actually happened back in 2012, Winterroth said, when Kiva Systems, a small startup based out of Massachusetts, got acquired by Amazon.

“I like to say Kiva Systems’ acquisition was the acquisition that launched 1,000 robotic startups,” Winterroth said. “Between 2011 and 2015, 2016, that really was the case. You just saw a number of different new companies get started. Some like 6 River Systems, or Clearpath Robotics, were successful, but most were not. But that talent learns and that learning compounds, and it’s brought into the next set of ventures.”

This first wave helped attract engineers to the sector and helped companies figure out product-market-fit, he said.

Kira Noodleman, a partner at Bee Partners, echoed this. Noodleman told TechCrunch the last decade of trial and error helped startups figure out what the market is actually looking for when it comes to robotics and automation.

Some companies, like Rapid Robotics, which Noodleman backed, shut down trying to figure out what the market wanted. Those failures have helped the next batch of startup founders, who now have a much better idea of what potential customers want from this sector.

Noodleman had a similar experience with her own investing thesis, she said, which changed as the market matured.

“Lights out manufacturing assumes there are zero humans in the loop; that is just not happening. We proved that already back in the 2010s,” Noodleman said. “Let me take a simple task, machine tending, all it is is someone’s hand putting something in and out of a machine. The point here is you can imagine how many low-hanging fruit, repetitive tasks there are, like machine tending.”

Fady Saad, a general partner at early-stage robotics-focused Cybernetix Ventures, also launched his firm prior to the AI boom after he noticed he was spending a lot of time connecting early-stage robotics companies to sources of funding during his time as a co-founder at MassRobotics.

Falling hardware costs have also driven investor interest in the sector, Saad said, noting that it’s cheaper to build robots today than five years ago. This allows companies to have a more viable path to scale and makes them more attractive to potential venture backers.

“The cost of building robotics has been going dramatically down,” Saad said. “Advances in sensor technology, compute, and batteries, all of that, it was the perfect timing to start full-stack robotics solutions.”

Advancements in AI aren’t hurting the industry either. While AI is being touted by many as the main reason why robotics are starting to see an increase in interest — alongside an Elon Musk-driven fascination with humanoid robots — it isn’t the only factor.

Saad added that while AI and large language models can be helpful for training robots, these LLMs are primarily trained on online information, whereas robots interact with the real world.

There are companies building models based on that real-life data; Nvidia just released a new set of world models for robot training in August. But Saad predicted it will take a bit longer to capture and train robots, especially those that will exist alongside people, on world data.

Present day

Momentum in the industry may be starting to swell, but that doesn’t mean every startup has figured out the best approach yet. Nor are some categories within robotics as mature as others.

Some of the first few markets to adopt robotics and automation, including manufacturing, warehousing, and construction, continue to be attractive for robotics startup backers.

For Winterroth, Saad, and Noodleman, healthcare and surgical-related robots remain a compelling area to invest in too. Noodleman adds eldercare to that category as well.

“In-home assistance is interesting, coming from me having looked at industrial robotics for 10 years,” Noodleman said. “Manufacturing and mining, burning labor shortages, aging populations, no humans are available at any price, even imperfect robotics are better than nothing.”

Saad added that vertically focused robotics companies tend to have access to more real-world and physical data, too, than horizontal players.

One area that these VCs are not as excited about are humanoids or consumer — and especially not consumer-focused humanoids.

Saad isn’t convinced that people will want to have a robot in their house anytime soon. He added that even non-humanoid consumer-focused robotics companies have struggled to get consumers excited.

“The only successful consumer robot company, iRobot, failed to come up with a second act,” Saad said. “Pool cleaning robot, lawn mower, mopping and floor-cleaning robot, none of these worked out for whatever reason.”

While the industry is still years away from commercial success of more intricate robotic models, like humanoids, VCs are pouring more capital into the sector. Despite the fact that this interest is driving up the costs of deals, the surge in interest is a net positive for the industry, Winterroth and Saad said, as the potential customer base for robotics startups continues to grow.

“There are enough examples of successful commercial organizations, successful robotics companies, that have become a valuable commercial organization,” Winterroth said. “Ten, 15 years ago, it was questionable whether or not there was going to be a large and thriving marketplace for these types of solutions. Now there’s a lot of customer awareness.”
