Mrs Hinch’s favourite Vitamin C Serum just got a new BFF

Spring is upon us and for many of us that means spending more time outdoors, embracing the longer lighter days of the new season.

But more time in the fresh air means we need to be sure we’re taking care of our skin, and that means using SPF.  

In fact, Garnier is on a mission to get us all wearing SPF every single day of the year, not just when it’s sunny, or when we’re on holiday. No matter the weather, come rain or shine, we all need to think ‘SPF every single day’ in order to protect against the damaging effects the sun has on our skin.

And that’s why the skincare brand has launched two new Daily UV products to make it easy and convenient.

India’s state-funded helmet promises ‘fresh air’ in battle on…

By Krishna N. Das

NEW DELHI, Aug 29 (Reuters) – As India’s capital of New Delhi prepares for winter – and the accompanying season of acrid smog – the government is promoting a motorcycle helmet fitted with filters and a fan at the back that it says can remove 80% of pollutants.

State agencies have pumped thousands of dollars into Shellios Technolabs, a startup whose founder Amit Pathak began work on the helmet, which he calls the world’s first of its kind, in a basement in 2016.

That was the year of the first headlines about the filthy air that makes New Delhi nearly unbreathable from mid-December to February, as the heavy cold traps dust, vehicle emissions and smoke from burning crop waste in nearby states.

“Inside a home or office, you could have an air purifier,” said Pathak, an electrical engineer. “But the guys on the bike, they have no protection at all.”

So his company designed a helmet with an air purification unit, fitted with a replaceable filter membrane and a fan powered by a battery that runs six hours and can be charged through a microUSB slot.

Sales of the helmet began in 2019, and tests on New Delhi’s streets by an independent laboratory confirmed it can keep more than 80% of pollutants out of users’ nostrils, Pathak added.

A 2019 test report seen by Reuters shows the helmet cut levels of lung-damaging PM 2.5 airborne particles to 8.1 micrograms per cubic metre from 43.1 micrograms outside.

India’s science and iconwin technology ministry says the helmet offers “a breath of fresh air for bikers”. That may not come a moment too soon in a country that was home to 35 of the world’s 50 worst polluted cities website last year.

Pathak sees a big opportunity amid annual demand for 30 million helmets, but declined to reveal his production or sales figures.

Each helmet retails at 4,500 rupees ($56), or nearly four times the cost of a regular one, effectively putting the device beyond the reach of many riders in India.

Since the weight of 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) is heavier than existing devices, Shellios has tied up with a big manufacturer to develop a lighter version from a thermoplastic material rather than fibreglass, a step that will also cut the cost.

The new version is expected to come out within a few months.

Pathak said the company had also drawn interest from southeast Asian nations such as Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. ($1=79.8210 rupees) (Reporting by Krishna N. Das; Additional reporting by Anushree Fadnavis and Sunil Kataria; Editing by Clarence Fernandez)

Intel reports third-quarter loss but forecasts Q4 revenue above…

By Max A. Cherney and Arsheeya Bajwa

Oct 31 (Reuters) – Intel reported a massive net loss on Thursday, weighed down by impairment and restructuring charges, but forecast fourth-quarter revenue above estimates.

The company has largely missed out on a boom in investments in speedy, advanced AI chips for data centers as businesses double down on adopting generative AI technology – a market dominated by Nvidia, followed by rival AMD.

Intel reported a net loss attributable to Intel of $16.6 billion for the third quarter, compared with a net profit attributable to Intel of about $300 million in the year-ago period.

As one of the largest makers of PC chips, Intel has benefited as the rollout of on-device AI features and a fresh Windows update cycle have renewed demand for PCs after a years-long slump, helping the company surpass Wall Street’s low expectations.

The company expects revenue to be between $13.3 billion and $14.3 billion for the current quarter, the midpoint of which is above analysts’ average estimate of $13.66 billion according to data compiled by LSEG.

Analysts also expect demand for traditional server chips made by Intel – its mainstay data-center semiconductors – to pick up in the second half of the year after several quarters of soft demand as investment is funneled to AI chips.

However, Intel’s share of the PC and slot server thailand CPU market is consistently threatened by AMD, which now boasts a market valuation larger than that of Intel and is also the closest competitor to market leader Nvidia in AI graphics processors.

In an interview, Intel finance chief David Zinsner said the company planned $12 billion to $14 billion in capital spending in 2025. (Reporting by Arsheeya Bajwa in Bengaluru and Jeffrey Dastin and Max A. Cherney in San Francisco Editing by Kenneth Li and Matthew Lewis)
