None of these women are real — everything about them, even the emotion that flickers across their faces, is generated by artificial intelligence (AI), for the world’s first ever AI beauty pageant. Fanvue World AI Creator AwardsEach of the contestants has a unique and distinctive personality, as well as face. But, echoing the reality of most modern Miss USA beauty pageant winners since the competition’s inception in 1921, most are White, thin and have long hair and symmetrical features, detailed Hilary Levey Friedman — a sociologist and author of “Here She Is: The Complicated Reign of the Beauty Pageant in America” — in a phone interview.

Erkan Aykan does not require a second invitation to share his claim to fame. He grew up in a Turkish family in Gelsenkirchen, an industrial city nestled in the heart of Germany’s Ruhr valley. Somewhat more famously, so did Ilkay Gundogan, the captain of the country’s soccer team. Listening politely, perhaps a touch indulgently, his brother Talha waits for Erkan to finish, and then immediately one-ups him. “He was in my class at school,” Talha said of Gundogan.

Turkey joined NATO in 1952, formally cementing its place in the free world and within the Western fold. The two countries doubled their trade to $68 billion in 2022, despite sanctions on the Russian economy by Turkey's NATO allies. "This creates a system in which midsize players have more space to conduct partially independent foreign policies from the United States," she explained. "As the United States is less interested to play the regional politics, I think Turkey becomes an important actor — a stabilizing actor," he added. As Erdogan secures a third term in office, Turkey is at a crossroads: will it pivot to the East or West?

The 2021 census has been delayed but the United Nations has projected India's population will touch 1.42 billion this month. "There is a misconception among Muslims that Islam doesn’t allow the use of birth control measures," said Maulana Khalid Rasheed, the imam of the Lucknow Eidgah in Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state.

O tânără din Marea Britanie, care a dispărut la vârsta de 18 ani, a fost găsită după șase ani. Autorităţile au descoperit că tânăra a călătorit în Orientul Mijlociu, unde s-a căsătorit cu un luptător ISIS, căruia i-a născut doi fii, relatează The Times. "Unul dintre copii, Faris, a fost ucis într-un atac aerian care l-a rănit și pe tatăl său. Tânăra vrea acum cu disperare să se întoarcă în Marea Britanie, deși cetățenia ei a fost revocată din motive de securitate națională. Părinții lui Abukar, care sunt de origine somaleză, au raportat dispariția fiicei lor în iunie 2014, iar cazul a fost apoi preluat de organizația caritabilă națională Missing People.
