This particular no-bake lemon cheesecake perfectly blends tart lemon curd with rich, velvety cheesecake filling atop a crunchy, citrus-infused graham cracker base. There’s no baking needed at all!

 How to Prepare a No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake
</h2>

 To create an impeccable no-bake lemon cheesecake, begin with a buttery crust infused with zesty citrus notes for a delightful foundation. For the silky filling, blend soft cream cheese with whipped heavy cream to achieve a smooth consistency that’s both light and indulgent. Gelatin should be properly dissolved beforehand to ensure the cake firms up nicely without losing its luxurious mouthfeel. Incorporating lemon curd adds a sharp kick that balances the richness of the dish. Allowing the cheesecake to rest in the refrigerator overnight helps it set correctly and allows all the flavors to meld together exquisitely.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zPXCy" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zPXCy.jpg"/>
<h2>
 Tips and Tricks
</h2>
<ul>
 <li>
 
 Room Temperature Ingredients:
 
 Make sure the cream cheese reaches room temperature and is completely soft prior to blending. This helps avoid clumps in the mixture and guarantees a silky, velvety consistency.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Proper Gelatin Blooming:
 
 Allow the gelatin to soak in cold water for a minimum of 10 minutes prior to use. This process is essential for ensuring the cheesecake sets properly and maintains a smooth consistency.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Chill for Optimal Texture:
 
 Chilling the cheesecake for a minimum of 6 hours, or preferably until morning after preparation, enables it to firm up correctly. This process aids in flavor enhancement and guarantees an ideal, easily cuttable consistency.
 </li>
</ul>
<h2>
 Variations
</h2>
<ul>
 <li>
 
 Lemon and Blueberry Cheesecake:
 
 Introduce a burst of fruitiness by mixing blueberry compote or fresh blueberries into the cheesecake mixture. Additionally, you could create a topping using freshly made blueberry sauce to offer a delightful juxtaposition between zesty lemon and juicy berries.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Lemon and Ginger Cheesecake:
 
 To add some zest, incorporate crumbled ginger snaps or ginger cookies into the crust. The aromatic warmth of ginger complements the zesty lemon beautifully, enhancing the overall taste with a distinctive richness.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Lemon Meringue Cheesecake:
 
 Enhance your cheesecake by adding a light, caramelized meringue topping. Once the cheesecake has firmed up, use piping bags to apply the meringue and then gently brown it using a kitchen torch, giving it a twist reminiscent of a lemon meringue pie.
 </li>
</ul>
<h2>
 Substitutions
</h2>
<ul>
 <li>
 
 Cream Cheese Substitute:
 
 If mascarpone is an option instead of cream cheese, go for it; it offers a subtler taste with an even silkier consistency. Alternatively, you could opt for Greek yogurt to make a lighter variant, although this would result in a somewhat runnier texture.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Gelatin Alternative:
 
 If you'd rather avoid using gelatin or require a vegetarian/vegan alternative, consider substituting with agar-agar. Utilize it similarly to how you would use gelatin; however, keep in mind that agar-agar solidifies at room temperature, so modify your process based on this difference.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Graham Cracker/Biscuit Substitute:
 
 To create an alternative base, consider using digestive biscuits, shortbread cookies, or perhaps a crust made from ground almonds or pecans. If you're looking for a gluten-free choice, opt for gluten-free graham crackers or crushed nuts instead.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Heavy Cream Alternative:
 
 To go for a dairy-free or more lightweight choice, you could substitute coconut cream for heavy cream. This swap will maintain a lush, smooth consistency while adding a mild touch of coconut taste.
 </li>
</ul>
<h2>
 Best served with
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zPXCR" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zPXCR.jpg"/>
<ul>
 <li>
 
 Fresh Berries:
 
 Combining fresh blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries complements the zesty lemon taste perfectly. These berries introduce vibrant colors and inherent sweetness, which amplify the cheesecake’s fruity undertones.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Whipped Cream:
 
 A scoop of light, fluffy whipped cream offsets the richness of the cheesecake and adds a smooth contrast to the tangy lemon flavor.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Coconut Flakes:
 
 Gently toasted coconut pieces bring a mild tropical taste along with a slight crispness, adding an intriguing textural difference to the creamy cheesecake.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Lemon Curd Drizzle:
 
 Adding some additional lemon curd on the side or pouring it over the top intensifies the lemon taste, providing a strong, zesty punch for genuine enthusiasts of lemons.
 </li>
</ul>
<h2>
 How to Store Leftovers
</h2>

 For storing extra no-bake lemon cheesecake, ensure it’s securely covered with either plastic wrap or aluminum foil to stop it from becoming dry or picking up smells in the fridge. You may also opt to keep single portions in sealed containers. This dessert should remain good in your refrigerator for about 4 to 5 days.


 Should you wish to store extra portions in the freezer, encase the cheesecake (or separate slices) tightly with plastic wrap before placing them into a suitable freezer container or freezer bag. It’s safe to keep your cheesecake frozen for as long as two months. When ready to enjoy again, transfer the cheesecake from the freezer to the fridge and let it defrost gradually throughout the night. While its consistency might alter somewhat, expect an equally delightful flavor upon serving.

<h3>
 Instructions
</h3>
<ul>
 <li>
 To prepare the lemon curd, mix the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a touch of salt in a small saucepan. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
 </li>
 <li>
 Next, reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for approximately 10 minutes. Ensure you stir often to avoid any sticking or curdling. It’s done once it reaches a desirable thickness.
 </li>
 <li>
 After thickening, take the pan off the heat source. Incorporate chilled butter into the mixture while continuously whisking until completely blended. Continue to stir until the curd achieves a consistent texture throughout.
 </li>
 <li>
 Position a mesh sieve above a bowl and strain the custard through it. This process eliminates all lumps, resulting in an ultra-smooth consistency.
 </li>
 <li>
 Cover with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the lemon curd to prevent a skin from forming. Allow it to cool entirely at room temperature before refrigerating until needed.
 </li>
 <li>
 Prepare the cheesecake crust as follows: Place the biscuits either in a food processor or inside a Ziploc bag and grind them into small pieces. Mix in the melted butter and blend until well incorporated. Stir in the lemon zest. Then press this mixture firmly onto the base of an 8-inch (20cm) springform pan. Put it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
 </li>
 <li>
 Prepare the cheesecake filling as follows: Mix the gelatin powder with water in a small bowl. Allow this mixture to sit and soften for about 10 minutes.
 </li>
 <li>
 In a big mixing bowl, combine and whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla bean paste until you get a smooth mixture. Then stir in the heavy cream and continue beating until the texture becomes light and airy.
 </li>
 <li>
 Microwave the gelatin for 15 seconds to melt it. Blend the gelatin with the cheesecake mixture by slowly adding a few tablespoons of the cheesecake mix into the melted gelatin and stirring until well combined. Then pour this blend back into the main cheesecake mixture and combine thoroughly.
 </li>
 <li>
 Stir in a couple of tablespoons of lemon curd briefly.
 </li>
 <li>
 Pour into the springform pan and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 5-6 hours or leave it overnight.
 </li>
 <li>
 Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and evenly distribute the lemon curd over the top of the cheesecake.
 </li>
 <li>
 Chill the cheesecake until you're ready to serve it.
 </li>
 <li>
 Serve and enjoy.

Trump Seethes Over Putin's Criticism of Ukraine's Leadership

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BWCSX" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BWCSX.jpg"/>

 During an interview with NBC on Sunday, US President Donald Trump threatened to impose "additional tariffs on oil, on every barrel of oil originating from Russia."


 Trump said he was "very angry" and "pissed off" with Russian President Vladimir Putin after the latter criticised the leadership of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, putting his credibility into question. Trump said that Putin's comments were “not going in the right location.”


 Putin had suggested
 on Friday
 that Ukraine should come under temporary United Nations administration until an “appropriate” government could be chosen. This proposal was rejected by Washington, as Putin once more targeted the leadership in Kyiv and Zelenskyy, with the Kremlin persistently claiming they are “illegitimate.”


 Offering further clarification on his thinking, Trump stated, "With new leadership, there won’t be a deal for a very long time, correct?"


 During the interview, Trump stated, "Should Russia and I fail to reach an agreement on halting the violence in Ukraine, and if I conclude that Russia bears responsibility—which may not be the case—but if I determine that Russia is at fault, then I will impose additional tariffs on oil exports from Russia."


 This marked a notable shift in approach toward Russia for Trump, who mentioned he planned to converse with Putin over the upcoming days.


 This month, Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement.
 in principle
 until a restricted 30-day truce in the Black Sea was declared, yet both parties have continued their assaults using drones and missiles.

<h2>
 Trump warns of bombing Iran
</h2>

 In a distinct interview on Saturday, Trump warned that he would consider bombing Iran and imposing secondary tariffs if the country declined to enter into an agreement with the U.S., ensuring they do not pursue the development of a nuclear weapon.


 Trump stated, “If they don’t make a deal,” he continued, “there will be bombing. It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.”


 Trump says that U.S. and Iranian officials are communicating with each other.


 But
 on Sunday
 Iran's President stated that the Islamic Republic rejected direct negotiations with the United States concerning its swiftly progressing nuclear program. This was Tehran’s initial reaction to a letter from President Trump addressed to the nation's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Why your Gen Z employees are unhappy—and what you can do about it

DIWIDA.NEWS employees, employment, jobs and careers, workforce, young people

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1A9FZh" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1A9FZh.jpg"/>

 Gen Z workers have been branded as demanding, unmotivated, and even
 entitled
 —a word that was used not too long ago to describe millennials. In an
 Intelligent.com survey last fall
 , 60% of employers said they had fired Gen Z workers not long after hiring them, and
 one in six managers
 said they were hesitant to hire recent college graduates.


 It’s no surprise that Gen Z continues to be misunderstood, or that older employees might rely on lazy tropes as they try to make sense of a new generation. While it’s true that Gen Z employees may have higher expectations for the workplace, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing—in fact, it may just be a necessary corrective in the face of questionable leadership.


 “What many have labeled ‘[quiet] quitting’ is actually a rational response to workplaces that lack fairness, structure, and alignment with employee values,” leadership strategist Jeff LeBlanc
 wrote recently
 . “Instead of writing off an entire generation, leaders should be asking:
 
 What are we doing wrong?”
 


 As baby boomers age out of the workforce, it’s imperative that employers
 find a way to better understand
 —and court—Gen Z employees, who will be a key part of the next generation of workers. So what can employers do to not just attract Gen Z workers, but make sure they stick around?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-understand-how-gen-z-employees-are-different">
 Understand how Gen Z employees are different
</h2>

 Rather than typically dismissing the concerns of Gen Z or painting them as difficult to work with, companies and managers should consider why younger employees might differ from their older counterparts when it comes to their expectations of the workplace. “Gen Z grew up amid economic uncertainty, social justice movements, and an
 increasing focus on mental health
 ,” LeBlanc wrote. “They don’t just want jobs; they want workplaces that prioritize
 psychological safety
 , transparency, and fairness.”


 Research indicates that Gen Z is far more socially conscious than previous generations, and that these employees
 prize diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts
 and employee wellness. What older employees may perceive as being demanding is actually about advocating for themselves.


 This is also a generation of workers who grew up on the internet. “Gen Z is used to putting every thought out for others to like, dislike, and amplify,”
 wrote Amelia Dunlop
 , chief experience officer for Deloitte Digital. “When they show up at work, they expect their voice and opinions to be heard and taken into consideration.”

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-consider-the-impact-of-the-pandemic">
 Consider the impact of the pandemic
</h2>

 Gen Z has also come of age during a period of intense upheaval, changing their experiences—and perhaps expectations—of the workplace. Many of these young workers finished college or started working at the height of the pandemic, which meant they had to acclimate to professional life while working from home.


 While
 there are benefits
 to young workers being in an office setting, many of them are also seeking more flexibility and want the option of working remotely. “Flexibility in the workplace is not just a perk for Gen Z, it is a necessity,”
 wrote leadership expert
 Cheryl Fields Tyler. “Despite this, many organizations operate with the assumption that Gen Z employees need to work in traditional office settings to ‘earn the right’ to have flexibility.”

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-think-about-what-they-want-out-of-a-job">
 Think about what they want out of a job
</h2>

 Gen Z employees do tend to have higher expectations of their colleagues and managers. That can be a shift for older employees who might expect them to pay their dues or show more deference. Unlike previous generations, Gen Z may not be as satisfied with an “inspirational leader.” Instead, they prize qualities like psychological safety and fairness—which includes
 equitable pay
 and access to professional opportunities—as well as a high degree of transparency, according to LeBlanc.


 Gen Z also wants to find meaning in the work they do. That shouldn’t come as a surprise to managers who have already worked alongside millennials. That’s also why younger workers may expect their employers to not just engage with social issues, but also align with their own personal values. In fact,
 research shows
 that Gen Z employees are three times more likely to stay at a job if they believe in the mission.


 And while work-life balance is important to other generations as well, it’s a major priority for Gen Z. As Andrew Roth, who runs the Gen Z consulting firm dcdx,
 explained
 : “Quiet quitting or stronger pushes for work-life balance are not threats or insults to tradition, but merely calls for respect, protection of our health, and the desire for a more fulfilling life for a generation growing up in this always-online world.”


 In many ways, Gen Z is simply looking for qualities that all employees should hope to find in their workplace, including transparency, clear expectations, and equitable treatment. Companies that take their concerns seriously are likely to cultivate more loyal, committed employees—of any age.

 STEPS:
 
 
 
 1. Start with dry-roasting the coriander seeds in a pan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until they become aromatic and slightly toasted.
 
 
 2. Include cumin seeds, black pepper, cloves, dried red chilies, asafoetida, powdered nutmeg, and melon seeds in the pan, then keep roasting with frequent stirring until they release a comforting and aromatic scent.
 
 
 3. Take the pan off the heat and allow the mixture to cool down entirely, enabling the flavors to combine thoroughly.
 
 
 4. Move the cooled spice blend to a mixer grinder jar and process until you achieve a fine powder, making sure all the spices are thoroughly mixed and ground.
 
 
 5. Include dry ginger powder, dried mango powder, dried mint powder, salt, rock salt, and black salt in the grinder jar and blend thoroughly. Process the ingredients once more till the spices are uniformly mixed.
 
 
 6. Sift the chaat masala powder using a fine mesh sieve to eliminate any clumps or larger pieces. Keep the powder in an airtight jar to maintain its freshness.
 
 
 
 Benefits of Consuming Saunth Churna
 
 
 
 Garam masala helps with digestion by soothing the stomach and decreasing bloating, indigestion, and acid reflux. The cumin within it enhances bile production, which assists in breaking down fats, while its inherent qualities calm the stomach, fostering better digestion and alleviating unease.
 
 
 The antioxidants present in spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel strengthen the immune system by tackling free radicals and reducing inflammation. Amchur, which is high in vitamin C along with other spices, helps the body ward off infections and enhances immune performance.
 
 
 Garam masala may assist with weight reduction through an increased metabolic rate and calorie burn. Ingredients such as black pepper and cumin help elevate your body’s metabolic process, facilitating smoother fat breakdown and contributing to a healthier approach for shedding pounds.

 Want a flat tummy? Fitness trainer shares 5 tips to help lose belly fat: ‘Avoid drinking your calories’
 

<h2>
 Sleep, stress, your environment shape your results
</h2>

 Rishabh shared how you should focus on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. He also spoke about how to avoid fat storage around belly. He wrote, “After two decades in fitness, here's some realistic weight loss advice...”


 In his caption he wrote, “The most powerful weight loss strategies aren’t the ones that require superhuman willpower. They’re the ones that work with your body’s natural systems. Swipe through to learn how sleep, stress, and your environment shape your results more than you might realise.”

<h2>
 Prioritise sleep and manage stress
</h2>

 1. “
 Inadequate sleep
 disrupts hunger-regulating hormones, leading to increased cravings and episodes of overeating. Prioritise 7-9 hours of sleep every night,” Rishabh said.


 2. “Non-exercise activity is your weight loss superpower. It is all about how active you are throughout the day, outside of your gym workout. Tracking 10,000 steps or taking the stairs more often are needle-moving behaviours for your goal,” he added.


 3. Rishabh further said, “Long-term
 stress
 triggers fat storage around the belly and everywhere else. Make sure to focus on slowing down. 10 minutes of meditation a day is purely magical and it makes fat loss much easier.”

<h2>
 Avoid crash diets and stay hydrated
</h2>

 4. “If the food is within your reach, you will eventually eat it. If you are serious about weight loss, make sure you clear your kitchen of junk food. You will be amazed at how impactful this will be,” Rishabh said.


 5. He added, “
 Crash diets
 may seem to work in the short-term, but they lead to long-term damage to your metabolism and your relationship with food. Weight management requires fundamental shifts in habits that you can follow for the rest of your life.”


 6. “
 Stay hydrated
 because it can impact how much you eat. In fact, downing 500 ml water before eating meals is a very effective strategy to control portion sizes,” according to Rishabh.

 – Apabila brother berniat ingin membeli motor seken, ada beberapa hal yang harus diperhatikan sebelum meminang motor idaman.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1A4dM8" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1A4dM8.jpg"/>

 Saat ini banyak pedagang motor bekas yang menawarkan beragam jenis kondisi motor, mulai dari kilometer rendah bahkan sampai 0 kilometer pun ada.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1A4oYt" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1A4oYt.jpg"/>

 Hal tersebut membuat daya tarik motor seken semakin memikat.


 Meskipun demikian, dalam memilih motor tidak boleh sembarangan.






 Ada beberapa tahapan yang harus dilalui konsumen apabila ingin membelinya.


 Seperti yang dijelaskan oleh Aziz, owner dealer motor seken yang beralamat di Jalan Raya Serpong, Tangerang  Selatan.


 "Beli motor bekas enggak bisa asal beli, lihat dulu kondisinya seperti apa," ujar Aziz, pedagang motor seken, pada Minggu (27/10/19).


 Aziz menjelaskan, hal pertama yang harus dilakukan adalah cek dulu kondisi mesinnya, karena itu merupakan bagian yang sangat vital.




 Walaupun usia motornya tergolong tua, tapi kondisi mesin yang bagus bisa membuat harganya tinggi.


 Lalu periksa juga fisik motor seperti body, baut-baut dan spion.


 Pastikan semua bagian-bagian masih lengkap dan tidak kurang, atau jangan sampai ada bagian yang telah dimodifikasi.


 Lanjut, pastikan juga tidak ada bekas las-lasan yang mencurigakan pada rangka atau drat baut yang terlepas.




 Setelah itu, pastikan untuk menguji motor tersebut sebelum pembelian, dengan menjalankannya secara stabil di kecepatan 40 km/jam dan kemudian cobalah mengeremnya tiba-tiba.


 Alami sensasi bila sepeda motor susah dikendalikan, jika memang begitu mungkin ada masalah pada komponen kemudi atau bisa juga terjadi kebocoran oli.


 Alihkan pengaturan rangka dan periksa apakah sasis motor tetap berada di tengah atau belum, dengan memeriksa bagian belakang serta mengecek kesejajaran dengan roda belakang dan depan.


 Bila perlu suruh orang lain mengendarai motor dan perhatikan dari belakang.


 Kalau sasis sudah tidak lurus biasanya motor kelihatan seperti lari anjing.


 Bergeser sedikit depan, periksa juga bagian sok depan apakah ada rembesan oli atau tidak.


 Jika seal debu telah robek atau getas, dipastikan motor tersebut jarang dirawat.


 Setelah itu ajak jalan dan coba melibas polisi tidur atau jalan yang tidak rata, apakan sok masih main atau tidak, juga dapat meredam kejut dengan baik.


 Jika kaki-kaki dapat bekerja normal, dipastikan kenyamanan berkendara akan terjamin.

 (서울=) 임성호 기자는 HD현대인프라코어[042670]가 지난 25일에 에티오피아에서 운영되는 두 곳의 광산 회사와 약 100대로 구성된 대형 장비 납품 계약을 맺었다고 발표했습니다.


 이번에 따낸 계약의 굴삭기는 36톤 규모의 크롤러 타입 대형 설비입니다. 이 제품은 작년에 에티오피아에서 단독으로 무려 212대로 판매되며 큰 사랑을 받았습니다. 이번 발주분은 오는 6월까지 차례로 납품될 것으로 예정되어 있습니다.


 지난 해 HD현대인프라코어는 일본과 중국의 브랜드들을 제치고 에티오피아에서 construction machinery market point of share 57%를 달성하여 선두 위치를 유지했다.


 HD현대인프라코어는 중동 이후로 아프리카 지역에서 특히 에티오피아를 중심으로 신규 시장을 개척하며 사업 확장을 추진하고 있습니다. 에티오피아는 현재 아프리카 시장에서 수익의 약 30% 이상을 책임지는 핵심 거점입니다.


 에티오피아 정부는 최근 국내에서 발견된 코발트와 리튬 등 다양한 천연자원을 바탕으로 하는 광물 산업 발전을 가속화하고 있습니다.


 에티오피아 수도인 아디스ア바바 주변에서 약 1억 1000만 명을 수용할 예정인 아프리카 가장 큰 스케일의 공항 건설 프로젝트를 포함해 다양한 SOC 사업들이 활성화되면서 앞으로 건설 장비 수요는 계속해서 늘어날 전망이다.


 지난 2023년 아フリカ에서는 굴삭기와 대형 웨일 로더의 판매량이 전년도에 비해 34.8% 늘어나서 약 1만 8,200대를 기록하였으며 이는 작년에 1만 3,500대로 집계된 것과 비교되는 수치이다.


 HD현대인프라코어의 대표는 "에티오피아 근처 나라들까지 사업을 넓히고 아フ리カ 전체에서 우리의 브랜드 파워를 키울 계획이다"라고 말했습니다.

 Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 30 (ANI): Designer-turned-producer
 Manish Malhotra
 , who has been in the industry for 35 years, opened up about his journey into film production and how his production house,
 Stage 5 Productions
 , came to be.
 
 
 While speaking to ANI at the
 Lakme Fashion Week
 , Malhotra shared, "Actually, the idea of production came to me 10 years ago, and when Mughal-e-Azam: The Play was offered to me, I was so excited because Mughal-e-Azam is one of my favorite films. I offered to co-produce it, not even knowing where the money was going to come from. But I am that person, right? Jump in a well, and you learn to swim."
 
 
 Malhotra officially launched his production company about four years ago and spent time building a team before starting the search for good scripts.
 
 
 "About 3.5 years ago, nearly 4 years back, I established my production company and assembled a team. The process then shifted towards searching for compelling scripts. However, I had a firm idea in mind from reflecting during those three years or the three to four months when we were all confined at home due to COVID—that I aspired to become a producer who brings fresh perspectives," he stated.
 
 
 Although audiences anticipate extravagant movies from me, filled with glitz and everything else, that realm is well-covered. My aim is to back intriguing directors with compelling narratives, as per my judgment, " Manish stated additionally.
 
 
 Malhotra established his film production firm,
 Stage 5 Productions
 In September 2023, he had produced several films under this banner, including 'Bun Tikki', 'The Train from Chchapraula', and 'Ul Jalool Ishq'. (ANI)

What TikTok Gets Right and Wrong About the Anti-Diet Trend of Intuitive Eating

DIWIDA.NEWS diet and nutrition, healthy eating, healthy eating and living, nutrition, nutritionists

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1A3vDR" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1A3vDR.jpg"/>
<div>
 
 
 Warning: This article mentions eating disorders, disordered eating and restrictive eating practices.
 
 
 
 When registered dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch sat down to write an anti-diet book that promoted intuitive eating in the 1990s, it felt bold — radical even.
 
 
 Beauty and fashion trends at the time were dominated by a thin obsession, spotlighting the heroin-chic aesthetic along with an intense focus on weight loss and fad diets.
 
 
 Their book, Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Anti-Diet Approach, released in 1995, encouraged readers to abandon this mentality and instead tune into their bodies' natural hunger and satiety patterns.
 
 
 "I knew I had to write something that was going to be anti-diet," Ms Resch says.
 
 
 Thirty years later, the intuitive eating movement has attracted a large online following, from celebrities like Demi Lovato and Gwyneth Paltrow to body acceptance advocates and anti-diet influencers.
 
 
 "You can think of it as a guide," one
 TikToker
 explains in one of nearly 200,000 posts about intuitive eating on the platform. Others have popularised the movement in "what an intuitive eater eats in a day" diaries.
 
 
 However, despite its widespread adoption online, many people remain unclear about what intuitive eating actually entails. They wonder if it grants permission to consume anything at will and question whether it’s effective for everybody.
 
 <h4>
 Intuitive eating and the Tao of Pooh
 </h4>
 
 In the 1990s, Ms Resch and Ms Tribole were working with patients on calorie-driven diets and prescriptive meal plans.
 
 
 But some were having a hard time sticking to the diets and losing weight, which was impacting their self-esteem and body image.
 
 <blockquote>
 
 "What we found is that our skill set, what we were traditionally taught as dietitians, was not being impactful, and that people were blaming themselves," Ms Tribole says.
 
 </blockquote>
 
 "So we did a deep analysis of the research, we considered our own clinical experience. We also looked at what was going on in consumer books … And so together, that's how we came up with this concept [of intuitive eating]."
 
 
 Around the same time, Ms Resch began reading Benjamin Hoff's Tao of Pooh, which teaches readers about the eastern belief system of Taoism using excerpts from A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh series.
 
 
 "I went, 'Oh my goodness, this is what I have to do with eating'. Not tell people what to eat, even though I was a dietitian, [but] help them understand what is going on with their bodies … and have them be in a process, rather than a straight line," she says.
 
 
 Both dieticians felt traditional calorie-driven diets were making people obsessed with eating. This was
 based on research
 regarding the psychological effects of deprivation and restrained eating.
 
 
 "When we're deprived of something, that's all we want. If we are told that something is bad and we still want it, we're going to go after it and feel bad about ourselves," Ms Resch says.
 
 
 "But if you have the privilege to be able to get food reliably, and you take away all that judgement, all that negativity, no 'good' foods, no 'bad' foods, what ends up happening is something called habituation."
 
 
 Habituation is a psychological concept which roughly means the more you have of something, the less exciting it is.
 
 
 "Think about when you [buy] a pair of shoes, how exciting that is, and after a while they're just your shoes," Ms Tribole says.
 
 
 "Same thing with food … When someone's been chronically restricting their eating to lose weight, they don't habituate food, it stays very exciting … and so this vicious cycle gets amplified with every diet as they go on."
 
 
 Importantly, intuitive eating does not encourage individuals to eat whatever they want, whenever they want with no regard to nutrition.
 
 
 Rather than restricting themselves, intuitive eaters allow themselves to consume foods they enjoy, all while paying attention to their hunger and satiety signals and considering scientifically-backed nutritional advice.
 
 
 In fact, one
 study has found
 Intuitive eating correlates with increased consumption of fruits and vegetables in adults.
 
 <h4>
 What is the process behind intuitive eating?
 </h4>
 
 Intuitive eating emphasizes the manner of eating rather than the specific foods consumed. People are guided to reconnect with their innate sense regarding food, enabling them to better understand and respond to their own desires and hunger signals.
 
 
 A set of ten guidelines forms the foundation for intuitive eating, covering aspects such as 'listening to your hunger,' 'embracing dietary flexibility,' and maintaining your well-being through 'moderate nutritional choices.'
 
 
 Other guidelines — which do not need to be adhered to in any specific sequence — encompass 'movement,' instead of concentrating solely on the calorie-torching aspect of physical activity, as well as 'honoring your body.'
 
 <blockquote>
 
 "It’s a process of exploration. There’s no pass or fail here. Instead, it involves learning new things, letting go of old ideas, and getting back in touch with your body and the vital… signals it communicates," states Ms Tribole.
 
 </blockquote>
 
 The increasing popularity of intuitive eating on the internet has paralleled the emergence of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, which have been praised as
 the "skinny pen"
 as well as the "obesity epidemic" conclusion.
 
 
 Critics contend that the strong emphasis on using Ozempic for weight loss frequently promotes damaging body standards and creates an environment where people feel compelled to prioritize slimness rather than health.
 "holistic well-being"
 .
 
 
 Intuitive eating serves as an opposition to such mindsets, encouraging individuals to release their focus on attaining specific body forms or dimensions and allowing them unrestricted freedom to consume food.
 
 
 "Consider what would constitute a fulfilling meal for you? How do you wish to feel afterward? What appeals to your taste? It all comes down to individual preferences," Ms Tribole suggests.
 
 
 This aligns with the Health at Every Size initiative, which downplays weight as an indicator of someone’s well-being. Additionally, it complements the body neutrality movement, suggesting that our bodies are merely vessels that transport us through life.
 
 
 And
 numerous studies show
 Eating based on internal cues positively affects psychological health, such as boosting self-esteem and enhancing overall quality of life, but it doesn’t influence weight loss.
 
 
 Although there isn’t one correct approach to embracing intuitive eating principles, the initial step often involves discarding the guidelines of diet culture.
 
 
 Ms Tribole suggests that after years of dieting, restricting particular foods, and ignoring your body’s innate signals, eating can become quite perplexing.
 
 
 She mentions that it can seem as though everything is askew.
 
 
 People are likewise invited to reassess their views on nutrition and well-being.
 
 
 "In order to truly adopt intuitive eating, you must understand that it shouldn’t merely rely on instinct alone, as our instincts are influenced by emotions and our thoughts regarding food," explains Ms Resch.
 
 
 Lyndi Cohen, a dietitian recognized as the "Nude Nutritionist" on Instagram, credits intuitive eating for helping herself and her clientele escape from the clutches of diet culture.
 
 
 Ms Cohen was raised as a constant dieter, leading to what she describes as a binge eating disorder during her teenage years.
 
 
 The concept of intuitive eating truly clicked for me; it was like a light bulb turning on. It was incredibly refreshing to find a method that seemed achievable without needing to meticulously count or weigh all my food intake.
 
 
 She mentions that she experienced solace in the structure which doesn’t push for weight reduction, but instead promotes understanding that all individuals' body types function uniquely.
 
 
 The most challenging part is beginning again and relearning how to eat whilst also learning to trust your body; however, it becomes more manageable with practice over time.
 
 <h4>
 Criticisms of intuitive eating
 </h4>
 
 The rise in popularity of intuitive eating has sparked criticism from bloggers as well as discussions on platforms such as Reddit.
 
 
 "Swipe through the #intuitiveeating hashtag on Instagram, and...it gives the impression that intuitive eating is solely for those who are slim," Christine Byrne
 contributes to the Ruby Oak nutrition blog
 .
 
 
 She mentioned that this was largely due to the overarching influence of the nutrition sector, an area predominantly shaped by petite Caucasian females.
 
 
 "For my part, I try to spread messages about intuitive eating without centering myself or my own body," she wrote, before providing a list of dietitians in diverse bodies, with various gender, racial, and ethnic identities to follow on social media.
 
 
 Other reviewers concentrate on the genuine structure. Healthcare experts have
 contended that intuitive eating dismisses scientific evidence
 about the mechanisms through which the body controls weight and the possible advantages of shedding pounds.
 
 
 Just like anything that evolves over time, the core message of intuitive eating has occasionally been misinterpreted by those promoting its advantages.
 
 
 A widespread misunderstanding is that intuitive eating aids in weight loss for individuals.
 
 <blockquote>
 
 Ms Resch mentions that some individuals may shed pounds, others might put on weight, while some remain unchanged.
 
 </blockquote>
 
 Ms Tribole observes that people often overlook the "dynamic integration of all the principles" and tend to concentrate solely on one or two aspects instead.
 
 
 She notes that describing this approach as centered on hunger and satiety isn’t incorrect, yet it might suggest that one must strictly eat only when hungry and halt immediately upon feeling full… Not at all; rather, it’s an exploratory process,” she explains.
 
 
 Maybe the most significant issue arises when critics perceive intuitive eating as an open invitation to disregard fundamental nutritional requirements and indulge in "junk food constantly."
 
 
 "When you allow yourself to enjoy the chips without feeling guilty, judged, or thinking they are scarce, what typically happens is that you come to understand that consuming an entire bowl doesn’t leave you feeling great," explains Ms Cohen.
 
 
 So, rather than following a food guideline, and instead of nutrition seeming like an obligation or penalty, it feels more like making a selection.
 
 <h4>
 Does intuitive eating suit everybody?
 </h4>
 
 Intuitive eating is an approach without dieting that promotes self-care and a healthy appreciation of one’s own body.
 
 
 However, Ms Cohen states that it is usually not advised for individuals who have been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, as they cannot rely on their feelings of hunger and fullness in the same manner as others.
 
 
 Nonetheless, intuitive eating can prove extremely beneficial for individuals grappling with other eating disorders, according to her.
 
 
 A 2021
 longitudinal study found
 Intuitive eating resulted in improved psychological and behavioral well-being for individuals with bulimia, as well as reduced likelihoods of engaging in binge eating and fasting behaviors.
 
 
 “If individuals suffer from an eating disorder, experience trauma, or have a medical condition, they can still practice intuitive eating. However, this typically requires working with a specialist,” according to Ms Tribole.
 
 
 Ms Resch admits that eating intuitively also involves having a wide range of food options available and being financially capable of purchasing them, which is a luxury not shared by everybody.
 
 <blockquote>
 
 "To enter the domain where one can consume anything at any time they desire, you must possess the luxury of having access to such options," Ms Resch states.
 
 </blockquote>
 
 However, if that’s not the case, we should also show empathy towards individuals who are giving their best effort and aren’t being criticised by a society that believes one should exclusively consume kale and sip on smoothies.
 
 
 Although their book is three decades old, Ms Tribole and Ms Resch feel that the principles of intuitive eating continue to hold equal relevance today.
 
 
 "Given the widespread use of GLP-1s, we’re noticing that many individuals are experiencing significant conflicts regarding their bodies and body sizes once more," Ms Tribole states.
 
 
 Ms Resch further suggests that there might be an increased acceptance of the concept of autonomy and following what one believes is best for themselves.

Are You Ready for These Big Changes After Retirement in Canada?

 Retirement is frequently viewed as the much-anticipated prize following decades of diligent labor. The constant cycle of early wake-up calls, workplace dramas, and hectic travel experiences eventually ceases, allowing you to reclaim complete authority over your schedule and leisure activities.


 Although retirement provides greater liberty, it also introduces unforeseen sacrifices. Certain aspects, such as a consistent paycheck, are clear-cut. However, others, including a feeling of fulfillment, could quietly impact you.


 Lacking adequate preparation, such modifications might result in feelings of unreadiness. Below are five significant aspects that often vanish during retirement, along with steps you can take now to ensure they won't surprise you later on.

 <li>
 In 2024, Warren Buffett shifted his focus to Canadian stocks — here's
 
 Three tactics enabling you to invest akin to an expert
 
 </li>
</ul>
<h2>
 1. The fiscal security of your paycheck
</h2>

 The quickest adjustment after retiring will be the disappearance of your regular paycheck. For many years, receiving this payment was a consistent part of your routine. Instead, you'll depend on taking money out from sources like your RRSP, TFSA, CPP, OAS, along with any additional pensions or investment funds you've accumulated throughout your working life.


 A lot of Canadians experience this shift as being more disconcerting than anticipated. Transitioning from making money and setting aside savings to drawing down those funds and managing expenses can be quite unsettling.
 A 2024 report
 According to findings from CPP Investments, nearly two-thirds (61%) of Canadians express concerns about exhausting their retirement savings before they pass away. The issue intensifies with inflation, since fixed incomes tend to decrease in value when measured against rising prices over time.


 An effective withdrawal plan is essential. While the conventional "4% rule" has faced scrutiny recently, with certain specialists recommending a reduced withdrawal percentage for longer life spans, diversifying revenue sources via investments, rental earnings, or freelance jobs can further alleviate monetary concerns.

<h2>
 2. Your risk tolerance
</h2>

 When you're employed, tackling investment risks might seem more controllable since you continue to earn an income. Should the stock market decline, you have enough time to bounce back.


 However, once retired, market declines can significantly affect both your investment portfolio and your capacity to draw from it without financial strain. This phenomenon is referred to as "sequencing risk," where initial withdrawals made during an economic downturn can accelerate the depletion of your savings beyond what was expected.


 A significant number of retirees transfer substantial parts of their savings into low-risk investment options like GICs or bonds to reduce potential losses. Nonetheless, an overly conservative approach might result in a different hazard: exhausting your funds before you pass away.


 An essential approach to investing involves balance. Holding onto certain equity positions helps facilitate ongoing development, whereas keeping liquidity equivalent to one to two years' expenses can assist in navigating through near-term fluctuations in the financial markets.

<h2>
 3. Your feeling of direction and fulfillment
</h2>

 Working goes beyond merely making an income; it offers structure, social engagement, and a feeling of achievement. Retirement often leaves numerous individuals adrift.


 A study by the
 National Library of Medicine
 discovered that not having a sense of purpose can result in depression, substance abuse, and negative self-perception. There is an increasing worry about social isolation as well, especially among men, who generally maintain fewer social ties beyond their workplace; this is according to the Government of Canada.
 indicates that 30% of elderly individuals
 are vulnerable to experiencing social isolation.


 To steer clear of this emotional dip, it’s essential to look past your financial planning alone. Engaging in volunteer activities, exploring hobbies, or possibly working part-time can add structure and satisfaction to your life.

<h2>
 4. Employer-sponsored benefits
</h2>

 Missing out on a paycheck is one issue, however, losing employer-provided benefits – particularly health insurance – can pose an even greater challenge. While Canadian provincial healthcare systems cover numerous medical costs, they do not account for every expense.


 The expenses for prescription medications, dental services, vision care, and long-term support can accumulate rapidly.
 A report
 According to data from Innovative Medicines Canada, approximately 70% of Canadians—or over 27 million people—depend on workplace-provided health benefits for additional coverage.


 If you retire before 65, you may need to purchase private health insurance or pay out-of-pocket for certain medical expenses. Planning ahead by setting aside savings specifically for healthcare or considering a retirement health plan can help bridge the gap.

 best ETFs
 
 </li>
</ul>
<h2>
 5. Your spending habits
</h2>

 A lot of retirees find themselves in what experts refer to as the "honeymoon stage" of retirement—travelling extensively, eating out often, and pursuing costly pastimes. Although this liberty is thoroughly earned, failing to balance current expenditures with future requirements might result in monetary difficulties.


 As individuals grow older, their healthcare expenses often increase. Failing to plan accordingly, expenditures during premature retirement may result in monetary difficulties further down the road.


 For instance, obtaining moderate home care for 22 hours each week, where the typical rate is $37 per hour, would equate to approximately $3,000 monthly. In contrast, almost half of all Canadians believe that such care generally costs about $1,100 per month.


 Monitoring expenditures and adapting to various stages of retirement may aid in sustaining fiscal steadiness through your golden years.

<h2>
 Final thoughts
</h2>

 Retiring marks a significant change in one’s life; although it offers liberation, it presents various difficulties as well. By recognizing what changes post-retirement and preparing adequately, you can guarantee yourself a safer and richer upcoming phase.


 Choosing wisely for your money management, investment strategies, personal relationships, and healthcare can empower you during your retired years. It’s crucial to start preparing ahead of time, remain flexible, and pick options that match up with what you aim to achieve over the long haul.

6 Powerful Warren Buffett Quotes Every retiree Should Know

DIWIDA.NEWS investors, personal finance retirement, retirement planning, stock market investment advice, warren buffett

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1A5Nq1" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1A5Nq1.jpg"/>

 Investors who have spent any significant time in the market likely know at least a couple of Warren Buffett’s key stock-picking strategies. It would be prudent to follow his guidance. After all, he has proven track record.
 
 Berkshire Hathaway
 
 regularly outperforms the benchmark
 
 S&P 500
 
 If you adopt his method, you might end up doing the same thing.


 However, what about retirees? Even though the extremely wealthy Buffett can manage with an investment horizon of "forever,” many average individuals cannot. Retirees eventually require drawing upon their investments' worth as a source of livelihood. Moreover, when one ceases receiving earnings from employment, their financial focus transitions from seeking growth to generating income. Has the Sage of Omaha shared any insights suitable for this group?


 
 
 Where should you put your $1,000 investment at this moment?
 
 Our analysis group has just disclosed their thoughts on what they consider to be the
 
 10 best stocks
 
 to buy right now.
 
 
 Learn More »
 
 
 


 In reality, certain Buffett strategies are applicable for retirees.

<h3>
 1. "Purchase only those items which you would still feel content holding even if the market closed for ten years."
</h3>

 He has expressed this concept somewhat differently by stating, “If you wouldn’t consider holding onto a stock for 10 years, then you shouldn’t contemplate keeping it for just 10 minutes,” yet the core principle remains unchanged. Essentially, this criterion serves as an acid test to determine if you genuinely have faith in the long-term prospects of the company associated with the stock.


 Investors frequently jump into speculative stocks with the understanding that if circumstances deteriorate, they have the option to exit their positions. When this potential escape route lurks in the back of an investor’s thoughts, it likely isn’t a choice suitable for most retirees to make initially.

<h3>
 2. "My approach to investing involves putting money into enterprises that are exceptionally good, even a novice could manage them successfully. Eventually, someone incompetent might end up at the helm."
</h3>

 This statement stands on its own and is applicable across various types of organizations and their stocks—whether they focus on growth, value, dividends, or others. The question here is whether an entity can maintain its performance regardless of leadership changes, or if your investment relies solely on specific individuals.

<h3>
 3. "The cost you incur is the price; the benefit you receive is the value."
</h3>

 This particular advice can impact anyone, regardless of whether you've retired or still have many working years ahead. The point being made here is that purchasing inexpensive stocks solely due to their low prices is usually unwise. Businesses with high quality are typically valued higher and come with a pricier share cost that you ought to be prepared to cover. Warren Buffett further clarifies this concept by stating, “It’s much smarter to acquire an excellent business for a reasonable sum rather than a mediocre firm for a great deal.”

<h3>
 4. "Be cautious of an investment strategy that receives widespread praise; typically, significant opportunities often evoke little interest."
</h3>

 Here’s another guideline that compels investors across different age groups to candidly assess their motivations. Are your investments aimed at reaching particular financial objectives, or are they more about deriving enjoyment? A significant number of individuals fall into the latter category, possibly even trying to convince themselves otherwise.


 Indeed, although achieving the level of income you desire—and require—is thrilling, your investment portfolio thrives best when it’s dull, with its administration aiming for zero drama. Engaging in dramatic activities often leads to making impulsive errors driven by emotion.

<h3>
 5. "People nowadays who keep cash equivalents feel secure. This confidence is misplaced. They've chosen an extremely poor long-term investment, which offers almost no returns and is guaranteed to lose value over time."
</h3>

 The general idea Buffett seems to be addressing is aimed at individuals who seek growth through investments while holding down a regular job. This concept also holds true for retirees depending on their investment portfolios for income. Essentially, keeping large amounts of money in a savings account with minimal interest rates erodes your purchasing power over time.


 By taking initiative to shift this cash towards investments — be it stocks or perhaps high-interest money market funds at present — you can achieve a notably better return with minimal sacrifice of real liquidity. Many online banks and brokerage accounts currently offer such options.
 around 4%
 Regarding cash-equivalent and nearly liquid deposit accounts, just to provide some context.

<h3>
 Being smarter isn’t necessary; being more disciplined is what sets us apart from others.
</h3>

 In conclusion, theOracle of Omaha provides some optimismby pointing outthat successin investingis within reach for everyone,since effectivestock selectiondoes notdepend on formaltraining,education,experience,oraccess to additionalresourcesand information.The key factor isthe abilityto adhere steadfastlytoa strategygrounded instrueedinvestingprinciples.


 Buffett emphasizes this point by stating, “A fool with a strategy can outperform a genius who lacks one.” Naturally, having a strategy offers a structure for maintaining discipline. In the absence of such a plan, even those who have retired might be tempted to pursue the latest attractive opportunity instead of staying committed to their carefully crafted investment portfolio aimed at meeting particular goals.

Republican Voters Deliver Stinging Rebuke to Trump on Economic Front

DIWIDA.NEWS donald trump, politics, politics and government, politics and law, trump administration

 Social media’s growing influence on politics and the Dem’s ‘hilariously bad’ efforts to connect with Gen-Z. Listen to Welcome to MAGAland wherever you get your podcasts
 
 </li>
</ul>

 President
 Donald Trump
 is preparing to unveil a sweeping new round of tariffs this week after a month of economic news that has roiled the
 White House
 and planted doubt in Americans minds that he can reverse an incoming recession.


 Now
 a new poll shows
 only 23 percent of Americans feel they are better off financially since Trump took office despite his promises to help get the economy back on track.


 This setback for the present administration is highlighted by the fact that the CBS/YouGov poll conducted in January indicated 42 percent of respondents anticipated Trump's policies would enhance their financial situations.


 The figures have effectively turned upside down, as 28% of Americans anticipate being in a poorer financial position under Trump’s leadership compared to the current 42% experiencing economic pressure — which marks a rise of 14%.


 Americans sense that they are faring significantly worse rather than better since Trump assumed office.


 Economists are currently cautioning that the administration’s new tariffs, scheduled to take effect on Wednesday, could further strain the finances of financially troubled Americans as costs are expected to rise significantly across various key products including vehicles, technology items, and oil and gas.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BXtvX" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BXtvX.jpg"/>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BXvRc" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BXvRc.jpg"/>

 Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) warned on Sunday that
 cars could increase in price between $5,000 and $10,000.


 More than half of Americans say that Trump is focusing too much of his economic policies on implementing tariffs on other countries and not enough on actually lowering prices.


 Trump has been teasing April 2 as 'Liberation Day,' where he will announce a net set of international tariffs with the aim of making the U.S. more self-reliant. The President wants to domesticate more industries rather than outsourcing and he believes that other countries are getting the better end of the deal when it comes to trade with the U.S.


 President Trump secured victory in the 2024 election largely due to Americans believing he could boost the economy following ex-President Joe Biden being held responsible for steering the U.S. towards a recession.


 Even now, 38 percent of Americans attribute inflation and increasing prices to Biden's policies, whereas 34 percent hold Trump responsible. Additionally, 19 percent believe that both share an equal portion of the blame.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BXjYN" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BXjYN.jpg"/>

 In addition to tariffs, the Trump administration has aimed at shrinking the federal workforce and trimming the bloated government budget, asserting these measures will cut down on wasteful spending by taxpayers—though they stop short of guaranteeing this will lessen the overall tax load for individuals.


 Americans are evenly divided regarding the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) federal layoffs, incentive-based retirement programs, and reallocating resources, with half supporting and half opposing these measures.


 The general agreement from the recent survey published on Sunday indicates that Americans prioritize economic and financial policies affecting their personal finances over issues like international trade conflicts and widespread federal layoffs.


 According to the CBS/Yougov survey, 48% agree with Trump’s approach to managing the economy, while 52% disagree.

 Watching my whooping toddler whizz down a slide at an onboard playground inside a Swiss train got me thinking about just how much the passenger experience has changed over the 200 years since

<h2>
 What's changed since the early days of rail travel?
</h2>

 This September marks

 the 200th anniversary
 
 </a>
 of the opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in northern England. This historic event was the first time hundreds of passengers had been transported by rail.


 Looking back, it's hard to imagine just how exciting those first train experiences must have been - and how uncomfortable they were for some.


 For the first few years of the railways, third-class passengers weren't even afforded the luxury of a roof over their heads. Instead, they were left at the mercy of the elements and smoke from the engine.


 These ‘cattle class’ carriages were phased out across Europe by the 1950s, replaced by a two-tier system of standard and first class that still survives today.

 Over the years, sleeper cars and onboard eating options have been introduced, meaning passengers can get fed and find a bed while they travel.


 If you are looking to get a taste of just how much passenger rail travel has changed since its inception, many lines still run

 historic routes
 
 </a>
 with authentic carriages and engines.


 My family loves a heritage train ride and we're lucky to live on the doorstep of the line that launched the very first package holiday in 1841, when Thomas Cook offered a day trip from Leicester to Loughborough.


 Railway buffs can recreate that trip on the Great Central Railway, which runs steam and diesel trains throughout the year.

 It's a little glimpse into trains and times gone by, with seating in compartments, and waiting rooms, including one for ladies only, with open fires in the grate in the winter. Passengers even have to open the doors by leaning out of the window to use the outside handle.


 Another place which really highlights just how much train travel has changed over the years is

 Wuppertal in Germany
 
 </a>
 . Here, the Schwebebahn, the world's oldest electric suspension railway, still runs the length of the town, following the line of the river below.


 Stepping off a wooden platform into a carriage dangling below a single rail is quite the experience. It just goes to show that train travel hasn't always been carriages being pulled along tracks on the ground - innovators have experimented with different systems along the way.


 While historic experiences are interesting for a one-off trip, we now expect far more from our everyday rail journeys. The realities of modern train travel, however, can vary wildly depending on when and where you go.

 extravaganza covered the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France and the UK. We never quite knew what we would find when we boarded each train.


 Even with an Interrail pass, there were some trains where seat reservation fees were compulsory, such as

 in Switzerland, and it certainly seemed like we were getting what we paid for, with cleanliness, comfortable seats and attentive carriage attendants all enhancing our experience.


 Across various countries, the quality of train travel under our pass fluctuated significantly. In terms of passenger care, I found the Netherlands nearly ideal, especially regarding families with children boarding the trains. However, Germany presented a contrasting scenario, characterized notably by extensive graffiti within stations and carriages.

 and on the trains themselves.


 Some of the carriages we found ourselves in were rundown and we even missed a train at one point as it set off from one end of a platform while we were waiting at the other, unaware that we couldn't board there.


 Access to charging points and WiFi is still pretty hit-and-miss across the network, especially on smaller local trains.

 But there are lots of modern-day innovations that make passengers’ journeys more comfortable.


 We loved travelling in double-decker trains in France and the Netherlands, which accommodate more passengers without the need for extra carriages.


 Certainly! The family areas within Swiss Intercity trains became incredibly popular. Can you imagine how excited children get about finding play spaces right inside their train carriages, making the trip seem much shorter? Older kids enjoyed themselves with board games embedded in the table surfaces designed specifically for their entertainment.


 We noticed areas designated for

 transporting bikes
 
 </a>
 Safely and securely, with passengers required to reserve and pay for a spot for their bicycle onboard. However, not all trains offer this service, so you should verify what's permitted before going to the station with your bike.

<h2>
 How might travelers' experiences change during journeys in the coming years?
</h2>

 As there is a revived enthusiasm for sleeper trains throughout Europe, it is logical that railway businesses are seeking to invest in novel methods to enhance the overnight travel experience for customers.


 I must admit our overnight journey from the Netherlands to Innsbruck wasn’t very relaxing. The passengers and their baggage were squeezed into tiny compartments where the seats also served as beds. Thus, anything that led

 sleeper car
 
 </a>
 Entering into the 21st century would be welcomed!


 In the previous fall, the Austrian branch of the Skoda Group presented their Sleep in Motion concepts for sleeping compartments within double-decker trains. These compartments would be arranged along either side of a central aisle. Meanwhile, Alstom from the United Kingdom displayed their DreamSuite proposals, featuring seating areas capable of transforming into flat beds, complete with individual privacy screens.


 Another passenger priority is

 keeping bags safe
 
 </a>
 Throughout the trip, we noticed an increase in thefts from trains over the past few years. To ensure our belongings were safe, we carried a cable lock to securing our baggage to the overhead storage rack.

 From our experience, we discovered that European trains require a more structured system with integrated safety features. For instance, Japanese bullet trains offer lockable compartments for passengers' use.

 stow their bags

 It’s quite different from the days when rail travel was at its peak and passengers could simply send their suitcases and packages ahead to be waiting for them upon arrival at their destination.


 For those who appreciate leisurely and eco-friendly travel, improving the traveler’s experience on board is just as important as adopting cleaner train technologies such as hydrogen fuel or boosting service speeds and punctuality. While environmentally friendly trains are beneficial, they won’t succeed unless passengers choose to use them, making rail a practical option only when ridership increases.


 Norske tog's Project Manager, Sille Svenkerud Førner, captured it perfectly during Norway’s announcement of an investment in 17 new long-distance FLIRT NEX trains. These models boast reclining seats, adaptable sleeping quarters, a café area, family-friendly configurations, and generous storage for belongings.


 As she put it, "The train shouldn't just serve as a mode of transportation; it should also offer an experience and be somewhere you enjoy being."
