Here’s Why You Should Never Throw Away the Water When Boiling Pasta!
We’ve all been there—boiling a pot of pasta, straining it over the sink, and watching the starchy water flow down the drain without a second thought.

Pasta water might seem like just murky liquid, but there’s more going on beneath the surface.

The Journey of 4 Sisters Over 4 Decades
In the summer of 1975, photographer Nicholas Nixon was visiting his wife’s family when, on an impulse, he asked his wife and her three sisters if they would pose for a photograph.

Their relaxed posture and luminous appearance captured not just the simplicity of the moment, but also the quiet bond between them as sisters. A year later, while attending the graduation of one of the sisters, Nixon decided to recreate the moment. He asked them

The naming ceremony for the IDF's sixth submarine was held at the "Kiel" shipyard in Germany,
Joint statement by the IDF Spokesperson and the Israel Ministry of Defense Spokesperson:
Amid the Ongoing War, the IDF Reveals Its Sixth Submarine—INS “Drakon”, Which Will Serve as a Strategic Combat Asset Across the Various Operational Arenas
Today (Tuesday), the naming ceremony for the IDF's sixth submarine was held at the "Kiel" shipyard in Germany, led by the Commander in Chief of the Israeli Navy, VADM David Saar Salama, the Israel Ministry of Defense Deputy Director General and Head of the Defence Procurement Directorate (DPD), Zeev Landau, and the Ambassador of Israel to Germany, Mr. Ron Prosor, alongside representatives from the Israel Ministry of Defense and the Israel Navy, who are accompanying the project with representatives from the shipyard in Germany.
Alongside the naming ceremony for the submarine, the commencement of the construction process for the IDF's future submarines, of the "Dakar" class, was marked. These submarines are scheduled for delivery at the beginning of the next decade.
As part of the ceremony, the submarine was officially named INS (Israeli Navy Ship) "Drakon". The name "Drakon" (Dragon)—a mythical sea creature symbolizing strength, uniqueness, and power—was chosen because it contains the Hebrew letters ד׳, ק׳, ר׳ (Dakar), thus commemorating the legacy of the submarine INS Dakar and its crew.
The submarine is scheduled to be delivered to the IDF in 2025, after which it will sail to its home port and join its sister vessels as an operational submarine in the Israeli Navy.
The INS "Drakon" submarine is of the "Dolphin AIP" class and equipped with unique systems, including groundbreaking technologies that expand the range of the IDF's capabilities across various arenas.
From the remarks of the Commander in Chief of the Israeli Navy, VADM David Saar Salama: “INS Drakon will serve as a cornerstone in ensuring the security of the State of Israel. Seen and unseen, it will dwell in distant and hidden realms for extended periods. This submarine is an additional force multiplier for the capabilities and strength of the Israeli Navy, the IDF, and the State of Israel—facing complex challenges at the most strategic and crucial level for Israel.
At this time, significant transformations are taking place in the submarine flotilla. Operational methods are improving, the range of operational capabilities is being enhanced and expanded, and integration with security bodies is accelerating. All of these place the submarine flotilla at the forefront of the campaign for Israel's security, as the extended arm of the IDF.
With the addition of INS Drakon to the depths of our operations, our extended arm grows significantly in length and strength.”
From the remarks of the Israel Ministry of Defense Deputy Director General and Head of the Defence Procurement Directorate (DPD), Zeev Landau: “Today we are marking not only the launch of the Drakon submarine but also the close security ties between Israel and Germany, a relationship founded on shared values and a mutual aspiration for a safer future. Together, we have created a vessel that will strengthen the Israeli Navy and bring powerful and essential capabilities for the defense of the State of Israel. On behalf of the Israel Ministry of Defense, I congratulate the Israeli Navy, which today marks a new chapter in force design, and extend my gratitude to our partners in the German Ministry of Defense and TKMS. We are successfully completing a major phase in the development and production project and are moving forward to the next stages.”
From the remarks of the Ambassador of Israel to Germany, Ron Prosor: “The launch of the submarine is a model of the synergy between security and diplomacy. The geo-strategic situation requires moral clarity—as well as a long-term strategy. The launch of the submarine is another cornerstone in the strategic relationship between Israel and Germany, which face similar challenges and share common opportunities.”

IDF: Activity of the Kfir Brigade in the Area of Beit Lahia
The 162nd Division are continuing their divisional operation in the area of Jabaliya. Over the past week, troops of the Kfir Brigade have been conducting raids to neutralize the threat in the area of Beit Lahia.
During the operation, the troops located and dismantled several rocket launcher sites aimed at firing toward the communities near the Gaza Strip. The troops also located Hamas uniforms, military equipment, AK-47 rifles, and weapon components.
In close-quarters combat, terrorists who had barricaded themselves in a building from which they conducted gunfire and terror activities against the troops in the area were eliminated. After eliminating the terrorists, the building, which served as their military headquarters, was dismantled.

IDF invasion keeps pressure on Hezbollah
The IDF on Sunday undertook around 150 airstrikes in support of ground troops Divisions 98 and 36, which have been operating in southern Lebanon since September 30.
IDF Col. Or Volozinsky of Brigade 188 said that his forces were destroying large amounts of Hezbollah Radwan forces weapons stored in almost every house.
In one house alone, the IDF found dozens of anti-tank missiles
The anti-tank missiles are Hezbollah's main threat against IDF invading forces and caused deaths and injuries to IDF soldiers on October 2.
Since that incident, however, Volozinsky said the IDF has adjusted its tactics to generally only enter new areas after having used greater amounts of artillery, tank fire, and air strikes to clear out potential Hezbollah ambush forces.
Significant timing possible
IDF sources did start to signal that they expect to be in Lebanon longer than the two to three weeks originally set down by top IDF officials when the invasion started.
In addition, the IDF noted that the air force killed the Hezbollah commander who planned the anti-tank missile attack, which killed two Israelis in Kfar Yuval in the North on January 14.
With almost a week having passed since the start of the invasion, IDF sources suggested they were still just at the very beginning of taking apart Hezbollah's capabilities in southern Lebanon and that significant time could be needed to carry out the mission properly.
Given that most of the world opposed any invasion, pressure could quickly ratchet up on Israel if it continues past the original few declared weeks.
At the same time, the number of dying Lebanese civilians has dropped significantly in recent days since most had evacuated southern Lebanon before the invasion began.
To date, Hezbollah has only provided a small number of spots of resistance during the invasion, far less than during the 2006 Second Lebanon War.
Late Sunday night, the IDF continued to close off border towns for military use, adding Manrah, Yiftach, and Malchiah to several towns that have been closed off since last week.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah has maintained rocket fire both on the northern border and deeper into Israel, including with a direct hit on a residence in Maalot, though there were no reported injuries.
