Ahmedabad: The world has become a touchscreen phenomenon and youngsters these days are fuelled by instant fame and money, but such a desire is not sustainable, philanthropist and author Sudha Murty said on Saturday. Addressing an event at a private university here, Murty urged the graduates not to chase instant fame but instead develop a mind of curiosity and learn from mistakes while trying new things ethically and legally. “The whole world, for that matter, has become a touch screen phenomenon or syndrome. You touch the screen, you get something, you play or you read... touch the screen, you get the reply. All of you think life is a touch screen. “No, it is not true. Youngsters like you are always fuelled by instant fame and instant money. That is not sustainable. Instant fame, nobody gets,” the Rajya Sabha MP said. She advised the student to remember that life does not run on Facebook likes and dislikes, or followers or influencers. “You have to make your mind healthy along with your body,” she added. Murty said that successful people have worked for several years without fame, and with a lot of difficulties to achieve what they did. The philanthropist said she failed miserably many times but learned a lesson from every failure. “As long as it is right legally and ethically, try new things, and from failure learn new things,” she said. Murty recalled that she learnt the greatest philosophies in life from the poorest people who did not know English. She also observed that children today are not connected to the people, especially the poor. “India does not mean software, it does not mean Bollywood, it is not only money. India means those people who will perish without your help. And you are the catalyst in this improvement of our country,” she said. “Your life after here should be guided by your own conscience. But life is not that difficult. It will not be that easy either. It will somewhere be in the middle,” Murty told the graduating students at the 6th convocation ceremony of Anant National University. Murty, who is married to the co-founder of tech giant Infosys N R Narayana Murthy, observed that creativity is a basic sign of progress and helps cut the boredom of the mundane world. “For creativity, you require great imagination... Imagination should be built up with children, and you can imagine as much as possible depending on your strength. And that you should do at home as parents,” she said. She said there was no shortcut to success other than hard work. Disappointments are also needed in life as one becomes a “soft” person without resistance, she added. Murty urged the graduates to help others saying it gives tremendous happiness. She also said that one should know technology, otherwise one will perish.

Millions Embrace Passwordless Future: 1Password Passkey Adoption Soars
In just over a year, 1Password has witnessed a remarkable surge in passkey adoption, with millions of users embracing this passwordless authentication method. This significant milestone underscores a growing shift towards enhanced online security and user experience. Since their introduction in September 2022, passkeys have quickly gained traction, offering a robust alternative to traditional passwords, which are often vulnerable to breaches and phishing attacks. This article delves into the details of 1Password’s passkey integration success, exploring the factors driving this widespread adoption, the benefits for users and businesses, and the future of passwordless authentication . The Rise of Passkeys: A Security Revolution Passkeys leverage cryptographic technology to provide a more secure and user-friendly authentication method. Unlike traditional passwords, passkeys are unique to each website or application and are not stored on a central server, making them significantly more resistant to phishing and hacking attempts. 1Password, a leading password management provider, has been at the forefront of passkey adoption, integrating this technology into its platform and actively promoting its benefits. The company’s efforts have resulted in an impressive uptake of passkeys among its user base. 1Password’s Passkey Integration: By the Numbers These statistics paint a compelling picture of passkeys’ rapid rise in popularity. The convenience, security, and growing support across various platforms are driving this adoption. Why are Passkeys Gaining Traction? Several factors contribute to the increasing popularity of passkeys: My Personal Experience with 1Password Passkeys As a technology enthusiast and long-time 1Password user, I was eager to try out passkeys. The setup was surprisingly simple, and I quickly integrated passkeys into several of my online accounts. I was particularly impressed by the improved security and ease of use. Logging in is now a breeze, and I no longer have to worry about remembering or managing complex passwords. The convenience of passkeys extends beyond my personal use. I’ve also introduced passkeys to my family members, who were initially hesitant about adopting a new technology. However, after experiencing the simplicity and security benefits firsthand, they quickly became converts. The Future of Passwordless Authentication The rapid adoption of passkeys suggests a future where passwords become obsolete. As more services integrate passkey support, users will increasingly embrace this secure and user-friendly authentication method. 1Password’s commitment to passkey technology, coupled with growing industry momentum, indicates a significant shift towards a passwordless future. This transition promises to enhance online security and simplify the user experience for millions of internet users worldwide.
This article was originally published on November 30, 2018, but the steamy scenes kept coming. With the return of Outlander for season seven, part two, we’ve updated the list to include the sex scenes from seasons four through seven, part one. Any Outlander fan worth her smelling salts will tell you, rather emphatically, that the Starz drama (and the source material upon which it is based, written by Diana Gabaldon ) is most certainly not a bodice-ripper. And, well, they’re not wrong. Outlander blends historical fiction, action, and, yes, romance to tell the story of former World War II combat nurse Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), an Englishwoman who inadvertently travels through time and falls in love with an 18th-century Highland warrior named Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). And so the series is a bit of a genre-buster, luring male and female viewers in nearly equal numbers. That said, there’s no denying one of the series’ most alluring attributes is its bounty of curl-your-toes sex scenes that leave little to the imagination. (Thank you, premium cable!) And not only are these racy interludes hot (like, really hot), but they also, nearly always, embrace the female gaze. These couplings are less about some unattainable fantasy and more about two adults having an intimate moment that tells us something about them — and almost always leaves both parties satisfied. So, with Outlander ’s seventh season back for part two, Vulture took a deep (deep) dive into the series’ many sex scenes, ranking all 32 using a complicated calculus factoring intensity, duration, mutual satisfaction, and plot advancement (with that last one weighted least heavily, because let’s not kid ourselves, we all know why we’re here). All that’s left to do now is take a good, long look ... 32. Season 2, Episode 7 — “Faith” In one of the series’ most transactional (read: least arousing) sex scenes, our heroine Claire offers up her body to King Louis XV in exchange for husband Jamie’s freedom after he’s caught dueling (a big no-no in 18th-century France). “I closed my eyes and thought of England,” Claire says in voice-over as she lies back on the king’s brocade bedding, fully dressed. Louis placidly thrusts half a dozen times (at least by my count) before finishing. And with that, the pardon is granted, and Claire is so over France. 31. Season 5, Episode 9 — “Monsters and Heroes” Modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was introduced in 1960 by engineer William Bennet Kouwenhoven, and by 1966, training in the life-saving technique was widely available to medical professionals and laypeople alike, according to the American Red Cross . This isn’t just a random bit of Jeopardy! trivia but an important piece of context for the next scene on our list. You see, while out on a hunting expedition, Jamie is bitten by a venomous snake and falls gravely ill. So ill, in fact, that Claire is unable to find a pulse. Instead of beginning chest compressions — which she should have been familiar with as a trained surgeon who lived and worked in the future until 1968 — she rips off her nightgown, lies on top of Jamie, and begins giving him a hand job. And that act is enough to revive him! This is hands down Outlander ’s most ludicrous sex scene. 30. Season 2, Episode 2 — “Not in Scotland Anymore” After suffering unimaginable abuse at the hand of Black Jack Randall , Jamie struggles with the thought of ever being intimate with his wife again. So in an attempt to arouse her husband’s passion, Claire indulges in a French spa treatment (a.k.a. a wax), and shows off the results to Jamie. “Your honey pot is bare!” he exclaims. “I thought you’d be intrigued,” she replies. The two begin to make love, but Jamie stops abruptly as visions of Black Jack begin to appear. So instead, they simply go to sleep. It’s a heartbreaker of a scene, demonstrating just how broken a man Jamie has become. 29. Season 5, Episode 1 — “The Fiery Cross” After their hand-fasting ceremony in season four (see No. 7 on our list), Brianna and Roger officially tie the knot at what, for the time, looks like an incredibly lavish affair, with many family members and friends in attendance. And in a curious choice by producers, the couple’s first night as official man and wife is intercut with scenes of two other couples from the wedding party making love in their own quarters: Claire and Jamie, and Murtagh and Aunt Jocasta. Yeah ... it probably would have been best to let the couple of the hour do this one solo. 28. Season 3, Episode 2 — “Surrender” Dysfunctional doesn’t even begin to describe Claire and Frank’s relationship after she returns to him in the future, pregnant with another man’s 18th-century baby. Their love life, as it were, is nonexistent — a state of affairs that would be easy to write off to Claire’s burgeoning belly. But after she gives birth, Frank is less accepting of her disinterest. And so one night, as the two lie in bed, Claire attempts to make amends. “I miss my husband,” she purrs into his ear. (Whether she actually means Frank — and not Jamie — remains to be seen.) She proceeds to straddle him and peel off her nightgown. After just a few moments, however, the scene fades to black before anything particularly interesting can happen — rather metaphorical, I’d say. 27. Season 3, Episode 2 — “Surrender” I’m pairing these two Claire-Frank scenes together since one is really an extension of the other, as conditions continuing to deteriorate at the Randall home. Some time later, as Claire and Frank share a drink next to the fire, Claire again initiates sex, this time slinking out of her underwear and offering herself to Frank. He scoops her up and gently places her on the floor next to the warming blaze. “Look at me,” Frank commands as he attempts to have sex with his wife. “Claire, open your eyes!” He stops when Claire doesn’t acquiesce, accusing her of fantasizing about Jamie. “Claire, when I’m with you, I’m with you. But you’re with him,” he says. And with that final indignity, it seems that the doomed couple’s sex life is, truly, over. 26. Season 4, Episode 11 — “If Not for Hope” Meeting your grown-up time-traveling daughter for the first time — when you presumed 200 years would always separate you — requires an adjustment period, for sure, especially when you’re from two different centuries with vastly different ideas about women and their place in society. Father and daughter clash when Jamie learns that Brianna has been sexually assaulted, and his response is, shall we say, retrograde to the extreme. The situation naturally causes tension between Jamie and Claire too, as the latter has never had to pick sides between her husband and daughter before. But by hour’s end, Claire and Jamie open up about how they’re both feeling and make up the best way they know. 25. Season 6, Episode 8 — “I Am Not Alone” If your home were under siege by a mob of rifle-wielding numbskulls, what would you do? After taking up arms, Jamie and Claire’s second course of action is to find consolation in each other’s bodies. After all, it could be their final taste of freedom — and each other — for a while. And let’s just say they really go out with a bang. (Those close-up shots — wow!) 24. Season 6, Episode 4 — “Hour of the Wolf” Young Ian makes his entry onto the list, and boy this one’s a tear-jerker. We know from earlier episodes that his time with the Mohawk did not end well, and here we see the extent of it told through flashbacks. After joining the tribe, he takes a wife, Wahionhaweh (he calls her Emily), and we watch as the two join together in a softly lit moment, with wonder and awe etched across Young Ian’s face. Alas, their union — and Ian’s happiness — doesn’t last. Wahionhaweh experiences two heartrending miscarriages, and Young Ian is banished from the tribe for not being strong enough to sire a child. 23. Season 3, Episode 2 — “Surrender” Implied sex scenes are a total tease and definitely not what this list is all about. That said, this encounter between a morose Jamie and his sister’s housemaid, Mary McNab, is a meaningful one and bears including. At this point, Jamie has lived for quite some time as Lallybroch’s resident Grizzly Adams (McAdams?), taking up residence in a cave on his ancestral land, growing an unnecessarily long ginger beard, and grieving the loss of his returned-to-the-future wife. He’s become both a burden and a liability for his sister and her family, so he’s devised a plan to have himself captured by the British in order to keep them all safe. And so, the night before his scheme is to take place, Mary comes to him, proffering a basket of shaving supplies ... and her body. He’s reticent, of course, he hasn’t done this in a long time (and as far as we know, with no one other than Claire). But the two are kindred spirits, both sporting deep emotional scars, and Jamie ultimately concedes. And maybe, just maybe, that little intimacy helped him face the uncertain task before him. 22. Season 7, Episode 4 — “A Most Uncomfortable Woman” Few things will make a man want to claim his woman more than knowing another man wants to claim her too. After the crotchety old Tom Christie lands a surprise — and unwelcome — smooch on Claire, Jamie is jealous. (Though he has absolutely no reason to be, Claire assures him.) Jamie accepts Claire’s soothing words but still takes the opportunity to begin undressing his love and walking her toward their bed. Their verbal foreplay soon turns physical as the camera pans away from the couple and toward their reflection in the mirror. 21. Season 7, Episode 2 — “The Happiest Place on Earth” Sex is rarely just sex on Outlander . It can be a manifestation of joy. Of pain. Of sorrow. Or all of the above. When Brianna and Roger return to the future to seek medical care for their daughter, Mandy, Claire and Jamie are left bereft. As they lay their heads down for their first night as empty nesters, Claire reaches for Jamie to console herself. But after a few thrusts she pulls away and confides her sorrows to her husband instead. He, predictably, lends a gentle, listening ear. It’s a bittersweet scene that ends with Claire sobbing in Jamie’s arms, wishing she might one day see her family again. 20. Season 6, Episode 8 — “I Am Not Alone” After pitching a tent in the wilderness while on a road trip to Roger’s ordination, he and Brianna settle in under the canvas and proceed to get naked. It’s an intentionally awkward scene (trying to pull your shirt over your head with only a few inches clearance requires Cirque du Soleil–level contortions), but the two lean into it and deliver a pretty juicy moment, all things considered. 19. Season 1, Episode 7 — “The Wedding” They say you never forget your first time, and virginal Jamie’s is, indeed, memorable — though probably not for the reasons one would hope. After exchanging their vows, newlyweds Claire and Jamie retire to their room, both clearly nervous. They prolong the inevitable by eating and drinking (and drinking some more), getting to know each other in the process. (Remember: They’ve been acquainted for mere weeks at this point.) After a well-intentioned interruption from Angus and Rupert to see if the deed has been done, Claire is the one to finally make the first move: “It’s getting rather late. Perhaps we should go to bed?” she asks. “To bed ... or to sleep?” Jamie replies with a waggle of his eyebrows. They tentatively start to unlace, unbutton, and untie each other (so many layers!), but before they can even dispense with all of their garments, Jamie grabs Claire and whirls her around so her back is to him (like the horses do it!). She rights herself, Jamie thrusts a few times, and it’s all over. Claire’s face is twinged with a mix of disappointment and embarrassment, though she later tells Jamie she enjoyed it. Thankfully, they will have a much more satisfying go of it the second time around (later on the list). 18. Season 6, Episode 1 — “Echoes” The appearance of former prison mate Tom Christie on the Ridge has Jamie reminiscing about his time at Ardsmuir — and how though he had little hope of ever seeing Claire again, she was always with him. “I think you’re an angel, Claire,” Jamie tells her. “Would an angel do this?” Claire responds as she straddles him and begins kissing and undressing him. “Maybe I’ve died and gone to heaven,” he responds. Okay, so maybe this isn’t top-shelf dialogue, but it’s hard not to get swept away in their tenderness and clear affection for each other. As Claire later traces the scars on Jamie’s back, it’s a reminder of how much this couple has had to fight to be — and stay — together. 17. Season 4, Episode 1 — “America the Beautiful” Fresh off the boat in the new world, and Claire and Jamie have already had to contend with the death of a loyal shipmate, hung at the gallows for a crime that was ultimately a terrible misunderstanding. In their grief, Claire and Jamie come together, as few things are quite so life-affirming as sex. Camped out next to a crackling fire, they take comfort in one another. It’s a sweet scene, but hardly the series’ steamiest four seasons on. 16. Season 1, Episode 11 — “The Devil’s Mark” After nearly being burned at the pyre on charges of witchcraft, Claire finally reveals her true identity as a time-traveler to Jamie. And with that confession, Jamie knows what he must do — the next day, he will take Claire back to the stones so she can return to her own time and place. But tonight, in the untamed wilderness, he will say his good-bye. He carefully pulls up Claire’s skirt, but Jamie refuses — tonight is about Claire’s pleasure. So he uses his skilled Scottish hands, knowing it may be their very last time together. Jamie is nothing if not a giver. 15. Season 3, Episode 6 — “A. Malcolm” It’s a moment 20 years (or, like, six episodes) in the making: After decades (and also centuries) apart, Claire and Jamie reunite in 18th-century Scotland. But their reunion isn’t exactly the stuff of legend. Despite their desire for one another (“I have burned for you for so long,” Jamie says), the pair’s chemistry is a little off. See: their awkward head butt as they fall in bed together. But the urgency never falters. “Do it now and don’t be gentle!” Claire commands and things do indeed get steamy. Their second romp later that evening goes more smoothly (and produces far less bruising): This time, they lie on their sides facing each other, going slow and steady. It’s good to have them back. 14. Season 2, Episode 4 — “La Dame Blanche” After weeks of quiet desperation, Jamie finally opens up to Claire about his sexual assault by Black Jack Randall. He’s not sure he can be the man Claire needs anymore, but Claire is having none of it. They argue and retire to separate sleeping quarters for the night. But under the moon’s glow, Claire tip-toes to Jamie’s room, doffing her sleeping gown, and beckoning Jamie to “find her.” She (and her baby bump) straddles him and he’s present — present in a way he hasn’t been for months, as if Claire’s love can exorcise his demons. And, well, it seems to do just that. 13. Season 5, Episode 11 — “Journeycake” Who knew the faintest whiff of manure could be such an aphrodisiac? Claire, apparently, because even though Jamie smells of the barn, she dabs on her favorite perfume in anticipation of a hot evening. Instead, he falls asleep without touching her, eventually waking to find her at the window having a very different type of steamy moment (a hot flash!). He makes up for his earlier grievance by hoisting sweaty Claire up onto the open windowsill, sliding her nightgown up her legs, and diving in face first. It’s not the series’ best oral-sex scene (that’s still to ... come), but it’s always good to see a woman getting her pleasure. 12. Season 5, Episode 7 — “The Ballad of Roger Mac” It’s sunup on Jamie’s 50th birthday, and Claire catches her husband taking stock as they lie in bed. Everything on his person is more or less in working order. (Or as Jamie so eloquently puts it, “My cock still stands up by itself in the morning!”) Claire can see that for herself and mounts Jamie, leaning in close to deliver a breathy, Marilyn Monroe–inspired serenade of “Happy Birthday, Dear Colonel.” (This was before U.S. presidents, after all.) The cultural reference is lost on Jamie, but that doesn’t make the moment any less cheeky. 11. Season 1, Episode 7 — “The Wedding” After several attempts at making love on their wedding night — with varying degrees of success — Jamie gets out of bed and begins rifling through his belongings, finally finding what he’s looking for: his mother’s Scotch pearls. He presents the necklace to his new bride, placing it around her bare neck. She’s touched by the gift — it’s a meaningful token as its one of the last remnants Jamie has of his deceased mother — and Claire wears it proudly as she sits atop Jamie. The scene doesn’t have the same heat as their second pairing (later on this list), but it arguably has more emotional import. It’s the beginning of ... something . 10. Season 1, Episode 1 — “Sassenach” Here is Outlander ’s opening statement — the first sex act depicted in the series debut. Claire and husband Frank have embarked on a honeymoon to the Scottish Highlands in order to rekindle their romance after war. As they tour the ruins of an ancient castle (where, unbeknownst to the former combat nurse, she will later hold court as a healer in the 18th century), Claire playfully hops atop a table and begins unbuckling her garter. “Why, Mrs. Randall,” Frank says, amused. “I didn’t know you left your undergarments at home.” Claire hitches up her skirt and pushes Frank’s head down, down, down. It’s a brief scene, to be sure, but a vital one as it establishes Outlander ’s bona fides: This is a TV show in which women get as good as they give. 9. Season 2, Episode 13 — “Dragonfly in Amber” With the disastrous Battle of Culloden looming, Jamie insists that Claire and their unborn child travel through the stones back to the future where they’ll be safe — with Frank. Of course, strong-willed Claire puts up a fight, but Jamie won’t relent. “Lord, you gave me a rare woman — I loved her well,” he muses as the two say their good-byes at the foot of the stones. Knowing he will never see his bride again, Jamie takes her quickly, urgently — a lifetime’s worth of passion dispensed with in a fleeting moment or two. And as the guns fire and canons blast in the distance, Claire disappears through the stones. 8. Season 1, Episode 1 — “Sassenach” What’s the worst possible topic of conversation one could raise while on their honeymoon? After Aunt Bertha’s bunion surgery, I’d reckon it to be your wife’s completely hypothetical infidelity. Yep, Frank decides to use the occasion of the couple’s romantic getaway to inquire whether Claire ever took “comfort” in other men during their separate tours of duty. This, obviously, does not go over well with Claire — especially considering that she has been nothing but faithful to Frank up to this point — and the two have quite the row. Yet, just minutes later, they drop trou. “Sex was our bridge back to each other,” Claire explains in voice-over. And here is the series’ first full-blown sex scene, complete with naked bodies jauntily writhing. Perhaps the fight was worth it after all ... 7. Season 4, Episode 8 — “Wilmington” Brianna and Roger’s first attempt at sex didn’t go so well — he essentially slut-shamed her for agreeing to sleep with him but not agreeing to marry him. (As you can imagine, he didn’t get any that night!) Later, after following Brianna through the stones to the 18th century, she makes an about-face, agreeing to a “hand fasting” — a Highland ritual binding two people together — to give their coupling credence. Her reasoning: “How could I say no to a man who pursued me for 200 years?” With a fire crackling in the hearth of their room at the inn, the “newlyweds” begin disrobing each other and getting down to business, in what may very well be one of the series’ longest sex scenes since Claire and Jamie’s own wedding. It feels weird comparing the two, but the young lad and lass hold their own. (We won’t get into the row that occurs right after, though.) 6. Season 3, Episode 13 — “Eye of the Storm” One of two nautical naughties on this list, here we find Claire and Jamie on the high seas, attempting to chart a course back home to Scotland after rescuing Jamie’s nephew Young Ian . As Jamie grooms himself in their cabin he tells Claire that he has “given much thought about what I want to do with you when we reach dry land.” And then, well, he does it all — with narration! Now, I have no idea whether this is historically accurate (when was dirty talk even invented?), but I’ll take any anachronism this arousing. 5. Season 1, Episode 9 — “The Reckoning” There’s no clearer signal that social mores are a tad bit different in the 18th century than when Claire is spanked by husband Jamie after disobeying one of his orders. And, no, we’re not talking BDSM here. Claire receives multiple lashes to the bottom after wandering off from where Jamie told her to stay put. By episode’s end, the couple have reached an understanding — Jamie swears to never hit Claire again. But Claire wants to make sure. So as the two begin to have sex by the fire, Claire gets on top of Jamie and grabs for his dagger. She raises it to his throat — never once losing her rhythm — and warns him: “If you ever raise a hand to me again, James Fraser, I will cut your heart out and have it for breakfast. Do you understand me?” He agrees, declaring that Claire is his. While we do not condone nonconsensual knife play, it’s thrilling to see a woman stand her ground when she’s been wronged. 4. Season 1, Episode 10 — “By the Pricking of My Thumb” If you happen to be heavy-handed with the fast-forward button, you may have missed this moment all together, as producers hardly let the credits roll before throwing Claire and Jamie into bed. And at first, you may not even know what you’re seeing. It looks as though Claire is simply lying in bed sleeping. But then she begins to stir and moan and you realize something entirely different is going on. You realize what, exactly, when the camera pans down Claire’s torso and you see the flaming crown of Jamie’s head. A knock comes at the door, but Jamie will not stop, whispering “No! No! No!” And with a flourish, he finishes the job before answering the door to a sheepish Murtaugh. Anyone else sweating? 3. Season 7, Episode 7 — “A Practical Guide for Time-Travelers” Let’s be honest: The sex playlist options for Outlander have always been rather limited and provincial. ( “Do we go with the melancholy bagpipes here or the jovial ones?” ) So it’s a fun surprise when the soundtrack veers into 20th-century soft rock for an ’80-set scene. Alone in the temporary living quarters of their trailer, Roger and Brianna exchange some flirty banter before the Scotsman lifts his bride off her feet and throws her onto the mess of their mustard-yellow floral bedding — just as the beat drops in “In the Air Tonight.” Thanks to this classic Phil Collins earworm and the actors’ growing comfort with scenes such as this, dare I say this is Brianna and Roger’s hottest moment yet? 2. Season 3, Episode 11 — “Uncharted” In this fan-favorite moment from the book Voyager , a feverish Claire, drunk on turtle soup, instructs Jamie to “bolt the door” of their ship cabin. She then clumsily pushes him onto the desk. “This must be what it’s like making love in hell!” Jamie quips. As the two disrobe and begin going at it, a knock at the door heralds their shipmate Willoughby, who’s come to inquire if Claire wants seconds on the broth (alleged to be an aphrodisiac). Jamie tries to muzzle the inebriated Claire, and Willoughby finally gets the hint. It’s one of the more fun and playful sex scenes in the whole series — a welcome bit of levity from the usual bedroom dramatics. 1. Season 1, Episode 7 — “The Wedding” If there’s one thing we learn about Jamie in “The Wedding” it’s that he’s a very quick study, illustrated here by his and Claire’s second time in the sack. Where the first was hurried and fumbling, the couple take their time, prolonging the foreplay. They strip for each other, slowly sizing up the other’s body, really appreciating it for the work of art that it is. Jamie eventually picks Claire up and drops her onto the bed. And this time, Claire’s cries of passion are so intense that Jamie worries he’s hurt her. When she climaxes, well, he’s still a little confused. “Does it happen every time?” he asks. “Only if the man is a very good lover,” Claire explains, breathless, right before biting his chest and going down on him. And that, dear readers, is the Outlander sex scene that will always leave us breathless.Titans vs. Texans Predictions & Picks: Odds, Moneyline, Spread – Week 12

Qatar Cancer Society (QCS) has launched an awareness campaign "Your Health empowers them " to mark November, recognised globally as Men's Health Awareness Month. The campaign aims to highlight men's health and increase awareness about the most common types of cancer. It includes a series of educational events and activities, such as workshops and awareness lectures, targeting all segments of society. The campaign also includes early screening initiatives to detect these cancers and disseminating awareness messages through media and social media platforms, encouraging men to adopt a healthy lifestyle and regularly visit doctors. Speaking about the most common cancers among men, Dr Mohammed Eltagalawi, a health educator at the Qatar Cancer Society, said prostate cancer is the most common globally, followed by lung cancer and colorectal cancer. In the Middle East and Qatar, however, the common types of cancer may vary due to factors such as lifestyle and genetics. Dr Eltagalawi also emphasised the importance of raising awareness about early detection of urological cancers. Early detection helps identify the first symptoms of the disease, increasing the chances of effective treatment. He added that awareness helps reduce risks by informing people about risk factors such as smoking and poor nutrition and promotes prevention through encouraging regular screenings and a healthy lifestyle. Regarding the rates of urological cancers in Qatar, Dr Eltagalawi explained that prostate cancer is the most common urological cancer according to reports from the Ministry of Public Health and the Qatar National Cancer Registry, followed by bladder and kidney cancers. He also noted that testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young people aged 20 to 35. Early symptoms of urological cancers, he noted, include the presence of blood in the urine, pain in the lower back or sides without an obvious cause, difficulty or frequent urination, and the feeling of not fully emptying the bladder. Symptoms may also include unexplained weight loss or persistent fatigue. There are major risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing urological cancers including smoking, which increases the risk of bladder cancer, a family history of urological cancer, chronic bladder infections, as well as obesity, and an unhealthy lifestyle.

This not only included what BJP chief JP Nadda described as the "sabotage" of the second mandate -- when Uddhav Thackeray broke the alliance and partnered the Congress and Sharad Pawar to form government -- but also the talk of a second constitution and the return of Article 370, the politics of division in the name of caste and creed, he said. The election in Maharashtra proved the maxim of "Ek hai toh safe hai (there is safety in unity)" which has become a mantra to the whole country, he added to massive cheers in an address to party workers at the BJP headquarters. "Maharashtra has witnessed the triumph of development, good governance, and genuine social justice. The forces of deception, divisive politics, and family dynasties have been defeated. Maharashtra has strengthened its resolve for a developed India," PM Modi said. In the process, it has as become the sixth state to choose the BJP for a third consecutive term, after Goa, Gujarat. Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. "Every segment of the country have voted for the BJP... The Congress is unable to gauge this changed mood of the people. They don't want to understand the reality. The voter does not want instability. The voter is with the nation first feeling," PM Modi said, beginning a harsh takedown of the Congress. "Congress and its ecosystem thought that by lying in the name of the Constitution and lying in the name of reservation, they would divide SC/ST/OBC into small groups. Maharashtra has completely rejected this conspiracy of Congress and its allies. Maharashtra has said it loudly: If there is one, then it is safe," PM Modi said. The Congress, he added, is incapable of forming governments on its own. It is a "parasitic" party that forms alliances and then lets down allies as well. "Thankfully its partners in Uttar Pradesh have been able to get rid of it (Congress). Else they too would have drowned," PM Modi said. The Congress, he said, has made laws for appeasement, he said, pointing to the Waqf Board as an example. "In the Constitution, there is no provision for Waqf law. This was done to raise the Congress' vote bank... There was a time when Congress used to speak against jaat -paat (caste divisions) , but today this very family is spreading the poison of caste (Jaativaad)," he added.
