Minister of Industry, Innovation, Science and Technology, Senator Jonathan Reid. (FP) As several countries move to ban children from accessing social media, Barbados says it is not yet at the stage where such a move is being considered. On December 10, Australia enacted legislation banning children aged 16 and under from accessing social media platforms. The decision has drawn international attention as governments grapple with the impact of digital spaces on young people. Under the Australian ban, platforms including Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Snapchat, YouTube, TikTok, Kick, Reddit, Twitch and X (formally Twitter), have agreed to comply, using age verification technology to identify under-16 users and suspend their accounts. Other countries exploring similar measures include France, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Italy, Malaysia, Denmark, Pakistan and South Korea. However, Minister of Industry, Innovation, Science and Technology, Senator Jonathan Reid confirmed that while Barbados is closely watching these developments, no such restrictions are currently on the cards. “We haven’t considered it, but obviously we have a very strong interest in what other places are doing, and we look forward to seeing what are some of the impacts of that decision and maybe how we can learn the lessons and do better by our people,”

The culture within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization has been a significant contributor to their success and made them a premier destination for free agents in recent years. When Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers in December 2024, he was already a two-time American League MVP and had firmly established himself as the best player in baseball. But he also brought an aura with him, and as an established star, it could have been difficult for players already on the team to offer advice or call out mistakes. That has been seen in other clubhouses across sports, where the star players don’t feel the need to buy in or listen to the advice of other players. However, Ohtani was open to feedback from his new team early on and fit into the culture of the clubhouse well. During an appearance on “Foul Territory,” Max Muncy described how coachable Ohtani was and his willingness to buy in: “I remember very clearly within the first month of us having Shohei, there was a play where he was running the bases and he didn’t necessarily get as good of a secondary lead and he wasn’t able to score on a certain play.  » Read

It has a wide, paddlelike tail with several fingerlike projections called dactyls that may help with defense. © 2021 MBARI Join Our Community of Science Lovers! A lot of weird-looking life-forms lurk in the deep sea, and this year we got some spectacularly close looks at several of them, including a goofy Doctor Who–esque octopus, alienlike Antarctic dwellers and the first-ever footage of a colossal squid in the wild. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite ocean oddities below. ‘Mystery Mollusk’ Is a Mystery No More For more than two decades, scientists at California’s Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute have occasionally spotted a little translucent creature in the ocean’s “midnight zone.” The gelatinous blob uses a hood surrounding its head to catch prey and has detachable tentacles; its hood and tail are decorated with glowing blue-green dots. This year, scientists finally figured

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross might be single, but don’t expect him to jump into anything serious just yet. During a recent episode of Grilling JR, the legendary announcer opened up about dating again now that he’s back living in Oklahoma—and it’s clear he’s not in any rush to settle down. When co-host Conrad Thompson teased the idea of Ross getting back out there, JR gave a typically colorful response. “BlueChew puts the lead in your pencil, Conrad,” Ross joked. “It puts the lead in your pencil. And, as my daddy would say, ‘Son, you ain’t got nobody to write to.’” Asked if he’s dating or open to it, JR made it clear he’s not closing the door—but finding “the right lady” hasn’t been easy. “Oh yeah. Yeah. I don’t discriminate whatsoever, but I haven’t found the right lady yet,” he admitted. “I guess the older you get, sometimes you get less motivated… that’s where BlueChew comes in.” But despite the humor, Ross admitted that there’s a deeper truth behind his hesitancy. He admits that now that he’s older, he just hasn’t found anyone to invest much time in since he doesn’t care as much. “You still gotta have

China has conditionally supported the need of the United States to transfer the control over American activities of TikTok on the basis of the agreement with its domestic regulatory system.  In opposition to the actions by ByteDance to prevent the ban that might happen extremely soon, the Ministry of Commerce is trying to balance the conflicting interests under the increasing technological and geopolitical strains.   Deal Sparks Optimism on Growing Tech Tensions On 18 December 2025, ByteDance signed binding agreements to sell its activities in America to a group of investors led by Oracle.  The deal was a success after many years of speculation and mounting pressure by U.S legislators who argued that national security was threatened by the Chinese ownership and governance structure by allowing ByteDance to be held by one of their own.   According to a press conference by the spokesperson of the ministry of commerce, He Yongqian, “It is hoped that the U.S. side will work with China in the same direction, earnestly fulfill its corresponding commitments, provide a fair, open, transparent and non-discriminatory business environment for the continuous and stable operation of Chinese enterprises in the U.S.,” Analyzing the High Stakes   The contractual structure finds a lot

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Kentucky Volleyball team announced the signing of outside hitter Morgan Gaerte on Wednesday afternoon, who joins the Wildcats with two years of eligibility remaining on her clock. Gaerte comes to Lexington after spending the first two years of her career at Notre Dame, where she was named First Team All-ACC after the 2025 season and honorable mention on the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association All-America list for this year, as well. She was a team captain for Notre Dame and a member of the AVCA Midwest Region’s first team. This season, she started all 28 matches and logged 497 kills for the Irish, the most by any Notre Dame player in the rally-scoring era (2008-pres.) and third-most overall in all scoring eras. Gaerte averaged a mammoth 4.64 kills per set and had 10-plus kills in 22-straight matches to kick off the UND season, the second-longest streak in program history for Notre Dame. Standing at six-foot-five, she hails from Angola, Indiana where she graduated from Angola High School while being ranked as the No. 5 player in the nation by Volleyball Magazine in 2023 and first team all-state for Indiana in 2022 and 2023.
