ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani police arrested thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of a rally in the capital to demand the ex-premier’s release from prison, a security officer said Sunday. Khan has been behind bars for more than a year and has over 150 criminal cases against him. But he remains popular and his political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf or PTI, says the cases are politically motivated. Shahid Nawaz, a security officer in eastern Punjab province, said police have arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters. They include five parliamentarians. Pakistan has sealed off Islamabad with shipping containers and shut down major roads and highways connecting the city with PTI strongholds in Punjab and northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. Tit-for-tat teargas shelling between the police and the PTI was reported on the highway bordering Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Earlier on Sunday, Pakistan suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns.” The government and Interior Ministry posted the announcement on the social media platform X, which is banned in Pakistan. They did not specify the areas, nor did they say how long the suspension would be in place. “Internet and mobile services will continue to operate as usual in the rest of the country,” the posts said. Meanwhile, telecom company Nayatel sent out emails offering customers “a reliable landline service” as a workaround in the areas suffering suspended cellphone service. Khan's supporters rely heavily on social media to demand his release and use messaging platforms like WhatsApp to share information, including details of events. PTI spokesperson Sheikh Waqas Akram said Khan's wife Bushra Bibi was traveling to Islamabad in a convoy led by the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Gandapur. “She cannot leave the party workers on their own,” said Akram. There was a festive mood in Peshawar, with PTI members dancing, drumming and holding up pictures of Khan as cars set off for Islamabad. The government is imposing social media platform bans and targeting VPN services , according to internet advocacy group Netblocks. On Sunday, the group said live metrics showed problems with WhatsApp that were affecting media sharing on the app. The U.S. Embassy issued a security alert for Americans in the capital, encouraging them to avoid large gatherings and warning that even “peaceful gatherings can turn violent.” Last month, authorities suspended the cellphone service in Islamabad and Rawalpindi to thwart a pro-Khan rally. The shutdown disrupted communications and affected everyday services such as banking, ride-hailing and food delivery. The latest crackdown comes on the eve of a visit by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko . Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said authorities have sealed off Islamabad's Red Zone, which houses key government buildings and is the destination for Khan's supporters. “Anyone reaching it will be arrested,” Naqvi told a press conference. He said the security measures were in place to protect residents and property, blaming the PTI for inconveniencing people and businesses. He added that protesters were planning to take the same route as the Belarusian delegation, but that the government had headed off this scenario. Naqvi denied cellphone services were suspended and said only mobile data was affected. Associated Press writers Riaz Khan in Peshawar and Asim Tanveer in Multan contributed to this report.
‘The smiling one’ Ruben Amorim says he can be ruthless when he needs to beMany people are familiar with typical symptoms of dementia such as memory loss and changes in behaviour, but some more obscure signs could manifest themselves within the eyes, scientists have said. Saccades, or rapid eye movements, tend to be slower in those with dementia, experts have said. This is especially true for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, the most prevalent type of dementia. A recent report featured on details new insights into the relationship between saccades and dementia, stating: "People with Alzheimer's exhibit a loss of motor control along with cognitive decline." These eye movements, which may be less accurate or delayed in dementia patients, are among the preliminary symptoms of decay. Researchers at École de Technologie Supérieure and Dartmouth University suggested this unique symptom could be detected via earpiece microphones. Researcher Arian Shamei explained: "Eye movements are fascinating since they are some of the most rapid and precise movements in the human body, thus they rely on both excellent motor skills and cognitive functioning." The team shared their breakthrough at this year's annual meeting of the Acoustical Society of America. They suggested that microphones might be the most effective way to identify these slower eye movements. Traditional methods involve using eye-tracking equipment to detect and analyse saccades, but such technology isn't widely available. Miriam Boutros, who presented the research, said: "We are using a device called a hearable. It is an earpiece with in-ear microphones that captures physiological signals from the body. Our goal is to develop health-monitoring algorithms for hearables, capable of continuous, long-term monitoring and early disease detection." The team believes that eye movements, including saccades, create eardrum vibrations detectable by these in-ear microphones. They're currently testing this hypothesis with volunteers using both hearables and traditional eye trackers, aiming to distinguish between normal saccades and those that could indicate neurological conditions like Alzheimer's. The NHS lists symptoms of dementia as: “These symptoms are often mild and may get worse only very gradually,” the health body says. If you spot any of these signs you should speak to your GP.

Key Takeaways Greater minds than I have heralded the importance of striking a healthy work-life balance , emphasizing the physical, psychological, and social benefits . But taking time off, making it to the gym three times a week and practicing meditation can feel like a tall ask for a busy entrepreneur. So, you find what works. Maybe it's not a 5 am wakeup and cardio workout every day, but a weekly Pilates class to keep you sane. Or perhaps you're better fueled by time with friends than a meditative session. Here are my tips for improving your routine as an entrepreneur and striking a balance between rest and business success. Related: Is it Possible to Balance a Career and Personal Wellness? 26 Entrepreneurs Share Their Own Tips Plan breaks throughout the day They say that sitting is the silent killer — our sedentary lifestyles bring multiple risk factors and implications for our health. While regular exercise is the goal, taking intermittent breaks throughout the day to stand and stretch will help mitigate these risks, at a minimum. Health professionals recommend taking a break for 5-10 minutes for every hour spent at your workstation. Stand up, walk around, change position, etc. It also helps to incorporate back, neck, hip and hand stretches into your routine as well. Another common ailment experienced by us computer warriors is eye strain. Practice the 20-20-20 Rule to relieve stress on the eyes. Use blue light filter glasses to reduce eye strain, improve mental health and support a healthy sleep pattern. These small yet mighty improvements ensure you make the most of your short breaks throughout the day, improving your physical and mental health and preventing future postural, muscular and ocular issues. Don't cheat your out-of-office days Do you fully " unplug " when you take time off? When it comes to out-of-office days, it's important to give your mind (and laptop) a break. That means no checking Slack messages, no attending to emails and no answering of panicked client calls (unless absolutely necessary). Have I always signed off during my vacation days? No — guilty as charged. But as I have come to recognize the importance of time with family (for my and their sake), I see this "off the radar" approach as essential. Today, this is a huge privilege, given the support of my team, but even when I was a solo entrepreneur, I found ways to sign off, even if only for a day or so. Don't cheat yourself out of time off. If your business structure and capacity allow, keep yourself accountable for taking a real vacation , turning off your notifications and deferring business to another day. Chances are, all will be well once you return.

This makes us prone to getting distracted by the next shiny object , directing our attention away from our most important priorities and goals. The result of pursuing these "nice to have" ideas is overwhelm, lost investments and burnout. When we pursue new ideas without clarity and intention, our priorities become muddled, and we have less space in our day for planning and rest. I am particularly guilty of this — which is why I have my "no" person (my COO). He keeps my ideas in check, helping me establish my "must haves" versus my "nice to haves." Not only does this help keep my company on track, but it also ensures that I spend my productive time on critical tasks while allowing enough time for rest. Find the activities that feed you Many guides on how to strike a work-life balance simply don't resonate with my unique interests and goals. For example, I'm not a cold plunge, morning meditation or yoga person. But I do find that time with my family feeds me more than anything. I appreciate traveling, meeting new people and going out to tasty restaurants. The key to balancing your routine is to find what feeds YOU. For you, that might be morning walks, playing with your dog, hitting the pickleball court or hitting up friends for Happy Hour. Identify the activities that best support your physical, social and emotional health, and make time for these. Traditional advice would have you believe that you need to structure your day a certain way — e.g., early morning wakeup, workout routine, time blocking, etc. In reality, everyone operates differently. Find the things that fuel you, structure your day in a way that makes you feel productive yet rejuvenated, and schedule time for the things that feed your soul.

Here are 10 Hacks I Use To Actually Enjoy My Life Recognize the early signs of burnout Like a thief in the night, burnout creeps up on you when you least expect it. It may feel like one month, you're on top of your game, then all of a sudden, you're a couch potato with barely enough will to make it to the fridge for a soda. The objective is to not let it get to this point, but that requires the ability to detect the signs of burnout early on. This can look different for different people, but generally, the signs of burnout include constant fatigue (that doesn't improve with rest), a struggle to stay focused and motivated, feeling more irritable and overwhelmed than usual, withdrawing from social interactions and inexplicable health issues. Basically, if you feel "weird" and aren't sure why, burnout might be right around the corner. The good news is that if you catch these signs early, you'll be better able to mitigate the damage. You might need to pare down your schedule, slot more breaks into your day, vent to a friend or book a vacation.
