**Harmanpreet Kaur Expresses Confidence Ahead of 2025 ODI World Cup**

As the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup approaches, Indian women’s cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur has expressed strong confidence about the team’s chances. Hosted by India after a gap of 12 years, this tournament holds special significance for the Indian team.

Speaking at a captains’ meet in Bengaluru, Harmanpreet said, “No doubt we have been through these situations many times.” She emphasized that the team has been consistently playing good cricket and is focused on enjoying the moment instead of dwelling on past mistakes.

### Captaincy Challenges

The 2025 World Cup marks Harmanpreet’s fifth ODI World Cup appearance but her first as captain. She described the experience of leading India in a home World Cup as “unbelievable.” Despite the pressures that come with the role, Harmanpreet is keen to keep the team’s spirits high and avoid taking on “too much pressure” while chasing their maiden title.

“I just want to go there and enjoy, and play my best cricket,” she added.

### Team Dynamics and Praise for Smriti Mandhana

Harmanpreet also took the opportunity to praise her teammate Smriti Mandhana for her stellar form in 2025, highlighting her impressive 928 runs in ODIs this year.

“She has been great,” said Harmanpreet. “The way she is batting nowadays is something really exciting to watch.”

She acknowledged how having players in such fine form makes things easier on the pitch and boosts the overall team dynamics.

### Preparation Strategies: Adapting to Indian Conditions

Addressing concerns about adapting to Indian conditions, Harmanpreet appeared confident. “The wickets are going to be flat,” she said, adding that the team will have ample practice sessions to acclimatize.

Though some stadiums where the matches will be held are unfamiliar to the players, Harmanpreet believes data analysis and preparation will help them adjust effectively to the conditions.

### Pressure Management: Insights from Australia Captain Alyssa Healy

Defending champions Australia, the most successful team in Women’s ODI World Cup history with seven titles, are also gearing up for a tightly contested tournament. Their captain Alyssa Healy weighed in on the competition.

“I firmly believe that this is going to be the tightest World Cup that we have been a part of,” Healy stated. She emphasized that “every team is on equal footing” this time, and every squad knows what it takes to win.

With all teams equally determined, the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup promises to be an exciting and fiercely competitive event. India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, is ready to take on the challenge and delight fans on home soil.

**Sri Lanka’s Kusal Perera Surpasses 5,000 Runs in T20s**

*By Rajdeep Saha | Sep 27, 2025*

Sri Lankan cricket veteran Kusal Perera has reached a remarkable milestone, surpassing 5,000 runs in T20 cricket. He achieved this feat during the Men’s T20 Asia Cup Super 4 match against India in Dubai, reaching the landmark with his 36th run in the game.

Perera played a crucial innings, scoring 58 runs as Sri Lanka chased a challenging target of 203. His performance helped the Lankans match India’s total and push the game into a Super Over, where India eventually prevailed.

**Impressive Career Stats**

Playing his 209th T20 match, Kusal Perera now boasts 5,022 runs from 203 innings at an average of 26.71. He has recorded 35 fifties and 2 centuries in the format. Notably, he is just 10 sixes short of reaching 200, with 190 sixes to his name, according to ESPNcricinfo.

In T20 Internationals specifically, Perera has played 88 matches and accumulated 2,276 runs at an average of 27.42. The 58-run knock against India was his 16th fifty in T20Is, including one century. Against India, Perera has scored 392 runs across 13 matches with an average of 32.66 and this marked his 4th T20I fifty versus the Indian team.

**Key Partnership and Match Highlights**

During the crucial Super 4 encounter, Sri Lanka dominated the powerplay despite an early wicket of Kusal Mendis. Pathum Nissanka contributed a swift 47 runs in the initial overs, setting up a strong platform with Sri Lanka reaching 72/1.

Nissanka continued his aggressive form, reaching his half-century from just 25 balls. Alongside him, Perera crafted a valuable innings until his dismissal in the 13th over, breaking a significant partnership worth 127 runs.

Is Methylene Blue the Secret Weapon for Fighting Alzheimers and Keeping Your Brain Young?

(Note: Thank you for supporting businesses like the one presenting a sponsored message below and working with them through the links below which benefits Gateway Pundit. We appreciate your support!)

—

Until earlier this year, the average American had no idea what methylene blue was or how it could impact health. Now, experts are asking: are we on the verge of a new era of anti-aging brain therapy?

A 2016 study showed that participants improved their memory tests just one hour after taking a low dose of methylene blue. Other studies have confirmed its positive effects on long-term memory and cognition in Alzheimer’s patients.

Neuroscientists are already speculating whether methylene blue could herald a new age in brain therapy.

### The Power of Methylene Blue

Methylene blue supports the function of mitochondria—the cellular power plants essential for energy production. Chemically, methylene blue is a master of redox reactions; it switches between a blue oxidized form and a colorless reduced form, acting as a true electron carrier within our cells.

This process supports mitochondrial function. Without properly functioning mitochondria, cellular energy production would falter.

What’s more, methylene blue acts as an antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress, protecting nerve cells, and inhibiting the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO). This leads to higher levels of serotonin, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters that promote happiness.

The result? Better mood, improved focus, and—at least theoretically—less time searching for your keys around the house.

—

### Mel Gibson, RFK Jr., and Joe Rogan Agree!

Methylene blue has long been popular among biohackers and Hollywood elites, according to The New York Post. In recent years, celebrities, wellness influencers, and biohackers have touted methylene blue for several off-label uses, claiming it can boost energy, enhance cognitive function, and combat aging, though evidence remains limited.

Early research suggests methylene blue’s antioxidant properties may help reduce toxic proteins in the brain, potentially aiding in the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Some studies also indicate it might delay skin aging by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, reducing cellular damage, and promoting wound healing.

What was once a biohacker’s secret weapon began going mainstream after Mel Gibson’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast earlier this year.

Gibson, who often shares his opinions openly, made news discussing the use of Ivermectin for cancer treatment. However, that wasn’t his only eye-catching comment.

In the same interview, Gibson spoke about his experience with methylene blue—an experience Joe Rogan shared. When Gibson mentioned that his friends were taking methylene blue, Rogan agreed, noting the substance’s profound effects on mitochondria. Gibson replied:

“This stuff works, man.”

It’s not just Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson who swear by methylene blue. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., godfather of the anti-vaccine movement and current Health and Human Services Secretary, was seen on video earlier this year using methylene blue while on a flight.

Few men have defied the effects of Father Time better than this trio, so it’s no surprise that everyone is eager to learn more about methylene blue.

Social Media Is Changing Japan’s Everyday Language

One question asked whether people truly understood the original meaning of certain words. For example, *tsukanu koto* actually means something unrelated to the conversation so far, though many respondents were unsure.

Language has always evolved, and the rise and fall of words reflects the times. Expressions such as *kogal*, which became popular among high school girls in the late 1990s, or *MD* (Sony’s MiniDisc released in 1992), have already disappeared from dictionaries. Even *Famicom*, Nintendo’s 1983 home console, was among the 1,000 words removed from Sanseido’s *Dictionary of Words That Disappeared*, published in 2023.

At the same time, new expressions continue to emerge with every generation. In the latest survey, more than 70 percent of respondents said new words had increased with the spread of SNS (social networking services). Teenagers gave examples such as *shabai*, used to describe someone being unavailable or a situation being uncool, and *aa-ne*, a shortened way of saying *naruhodo ne* (“I see”).

But the survey also tested whether people understood the original meaning of long-established words. One example was *yakubusoku*. While often used to mean lacking ability, its original definition is that a role is too small for someone’s abilities. Only 45.1 percent of respondents answered correctly.

Another word was *niyakeru*. Many people in their fifties described it as smiling happily or sheepishly, but the original meaning is to be effeminate or weak. Respondents were surprised, though some recalled being told not to *niyakeru* when scolded at school.

Similarly, *shiodoki* is now widely taken to mean the end of something or the time to give up, with nearly half of respondents using it that way. However, the original meaning is the right or favorable time. One respondent in their twenties admitted, “I didn’t really know Japanese. I got it wrong.”

These findings illustrate how language both adapts and drifts from its origins.

Sarnia’s third annual Ella-ween organ donation awareness event set for Oct. 19

**Ella-ween Returns for Its Third Annual Celebration Supporting Organ Donation Awareness**

“This is our third annual Ella-ween,” said Sue Morrison-Weir with SODA (Sarnia Organ Donor Association). The event’s namesake, Ella, passed away suddenly in 2022, but her donated organs saved at least two lives.

“Ella really loved Halloween,” Morrison-Weir shared. The child’s mother, Kristen Luckins, connected with SODA and came up with the idea for the event — and thus, Ella-ween was born. Luckins sits on the SODA board and continues to help organize the event, which was held for the first time in 2023.

Leading up to the event, “We have been collecting donated costumes, accessories, and Halloween décor items,” Morrison-Weir said. New Halloween makeup has also been donated. All items will be available for sale at Ella-ween for $10 or less each.

“As much as it’s a fundraiser, Ella-ween is about giving back to the community,” she explained. “Halloween is getting very expensive, including the cost of buying new costumes. We just wanted it to be fun for everyone.”

The event has attracted a few hundred attendees in past years. Fundraising efforts for SODA include proceeds from a 50-50 draw. On the day of the event, there will be Halloween-themed vendors on site, along with film characters in scary costumes, face painting by The Painted Cat, music, and a dance troupe teaching kids some dance moves.

“There is a lot of fun to be had,” Morrison-Weir said.

Donations for Ella-ween are accepted year-round and can still be dropped off in the coming days at several locations, including:

– Lochiel Kiwanis Centre
– Motion on Finch Drive
– The Painted Cat on Christina Street
– Hub Insurance on Exmouth Street
– 1112 Indian Rd. N.

“So far, I would say we have several hundred costumes,” Morrison-Weir noted. “They’re all sorted by size to make it easier for shoppers at Ella-ween.”

Ella-ween also supports important services provided by SODA, such as grief packages for donor families. “We also offer financial aid for people in Lambton County who are experiencing transplantation,” Morrison-Weir said.

Patients traveling to hospitals in Toronto for transplantation sometimes have to live there for several months after surgery and may face travel expenses for medical visits over extended periods. SODA offers financial assistance to help cover these costs.

The organization promotes awareness of organ transplantation and the importance of organ donation. Currently, an average of 1,400 individuals in Ontario are waiting for organ transplants, and 35 percent of the province’s residents are registered donors, according to SODA.

“I like to say we’re talking about life,” said Morrison-Weir. “We’re talking about people who wouldn’t survive without transplantation.”

The non-profit organization is entering its 31st year of operation. For more information, visit [www.sarniaorgandonors.ca](http://www.sarniaorgandonors.ca).

AI agent expectations meet reality as enterprises seek secure, production-ready systems

While headlines about artificial intelligence project failures often dominate the news, enterprises are witnessing tangible success by focusing AI efforts in specific areas such as knowledge access. In this domain, search solutions like Glean Technologies Inc. have become essential for democratizing enterprise AI across the workforce, embedding intelligent tools directly into daily workflows.

**The Rise of AI in Enterprise Knowledge Access**

“You build a product like Glean, give it to all of your employees, and now you’re bringing AI into the day-to-day work of every individual,” said Arvind Jain, founder and chief executive officer of Glean. “That’s actually the first thing that enterprises are doing because they’re thinking, ‘AI is happening, and I need to bring AI tools to all of my employees and get that education going.’”

Jain shared these insights during an exclusive interview with John Furrier of theCUBE at theCUBE + NYSE Wired: AI Factories Data Centers of the Future event, broadcast live from SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed the critical need for enterprises to design systems that empower users to be their most productive selves.

**The State of Enterprise AI**

Over the past year, there has been explosive interest in AI agents—autonomous systems designed to perform business tasks. However, unrealistic expectations have led to considerable disappointment.

“Agent deployment requires more than imagination; it demands guardrails, monitoring, and secure integration with enterprise systems,” Jain cautioned. “Last year has been all about AI agents, and expectations have been sky-high. People thought they could bring an agent in and automate any business process in their company in just one day.”

**Glean’s Approach: Simplicity and Security**

Glean’s approach focuses on making it easy for non-technical employees to build useful AI agents, while simultaneously providing the necessary infrastructure for quality, compliance, and security. With an extensive integrations and actions library encompassing thousands of enterprise tasks, Glean enables organizations to create production-grade agents that do more than just converse—they get real work done.

“When you build an agent with Glean, we first make it really easy; we are democratizing access to agent building,” Jain explained. “You could be a business owner, not a technologist or AI scientist, but you can still build something really cool with AI through our agent builders. It’s becoming very natural.”

He added, “We also provide the rest of the infrastructure to help evaluate, test, monitor, and put the right guardrails in place to ensure agents don’t go wild in the enterprise.”

**The Enterprise Graph: The Neural Network of the Enterprise**

One of Glean’s most important innovations is the enterprise graph, a connective layer that serves as the neural network of an organization.

“Agents don’t operate in isolation; they require data, context, and a human-like understanding of how work gets done,” Jain said. “We excel at this because Glean comes with hundreds of integrations to the most common enterprise systems.”

“If you build an agent and need access to specific data, it’s very easy and seamless within Glean, since we’re already connected to all the enterprise systems,” he continued. “And beyond data access, we allow you to take actions directly within those systems.”

IND Vs SL, Asia Cup 2025, Super 4 Match: Team India Seals A Thrilling Victory In Super Over Against Sri Lanka, Will Next Face Pakistan For The Championship

In one of the most dramatic matches of the Asia Cup 2025, India edged past Sri Lanka in a Super Over thriller during the Super 4 stage in Dubai. After both teams ended their 20-over innings tied at 202/5, the match was decided in a nail-biting Super Over that had fans on the edge of their seats.

India batted first and posted a strong total of 202/5, thanks to a fiery 61-run knock from Abhishek Sharma, who continued his fine form in the tournament. Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma added crucial runs in the final overs to push India past the 200-run mark.

Sri Lanka responded in style, with opener Pathum Nissanka playing one of the finest innings of his career. He scored a stunning 107 runs, anchoring the chase and keeping Sri Lanka in the hunt till the final ball. His brilliant century ensured the match went down to the wire, with Sri Lanka also ending their innings on 202/5.

### Arshdeep Singh Stars in the Super Over

Sri Lanka batted first in the one-over eliminator but faltered under pressure. Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh bowled a sensational over, taking two wickets and conceding just two runs in five balls. The pressure was squarely on India’s batters to finish the job.

India responded emphatically. Facing the very first ball of the Super Over, Suryakumar Yadav sealed the match for India with three runs off just one delivery. His calm presence and clean shot ensured India walked away with the victory.

With this thrilling win, India sends a strong message to their archrivals Pakistan, whom they are set to face next in the Asia Cup final.

Trouble in Mind Records Ceases Operations

**Trouble in Mind Records, the Chicago Label, Ceases Operations After More Than a Decade**

Trouble in Mind Records, the Chicago-based label that specialized in punk and garage rock for over a decade, has officially ceased operations. Founders Bill and Lisa Roe shared the news today on social media, revealing that the label has been inactive as of June 1st, 2025. Below, you’ll find their full statement and a brief history of the label’s journey.

—

### A Brief History of Trouble in Mind Records

Bill and Lisa Roe founded Trouble in Mind Records in 2009, coinciding with the arrival of their first child, Veronica Ronnie Moon. Initially, the label focused on pressing 7-inch vinyl singles as the Roes expertly balanced parenthood, their band CoCoComa, and day jobs—Lisa as a librarian and Bill working as a production manager for Chicago Independent Distribution.

By 2010, they released the label’s first full-length album, a self-titled record from the Liminanas. Over the years, Trouble in Mind launched albums from a diverse roster of artists, including Mikal Cronin, The Tubs, Dummy, David Nance Group, Ultimate Painting, Doug Tuttle, Negative Scanner, and many others.

Though primarily known for championing garage, punk, and psych-rock, the Roes always envisioned Trouble in Mind as a platform offering a wide variety of music. Speaking in 2017, Bill Roe explained:

> “The label has morphed as our tastes have. It’s all in the same wheelhouse, but it’s a better reflection of what you’d see if you looked at our personal record collection. We figured out more what we want to release, and plus our ears also get tired of hearing the same thing over and over. We release what catches our ear, so chaining ourselves to a certain genre or style of music seems pretty limiting — we’ve put out garage-punk, psych, experimental music, electronic music, and spiritual jazz records. Perhaps it makes our label harder to pin down or categorize, but fuck that, who cares?”

—

### Official Statement from Trouble in Mind Records

**ADIEU TROUBLE IN MIND RECORDS: 2009–2025**

*FRENZ.*

We are sad to announce that Trouble in Mind Records has ceased to exist as an active label as of June 1st of this year.

We could point to a myriad of reasons why, BUT instead we’re going to focus on the positives.

To all the artists we’ve ever worked with—being able to have even a minor part in releasing your art into the world was one of the greatest privileges we could have ever asked for & we love you all.

If you have ever bought an album, streamed a song, saw one of our artists on tour, read an article or interview about us, told a friend about the label, or supported us in any way, shape, or form, we appreciate you & sincerely thank you for your support. YOU are the reason independent labels can still exist, so keep the faith!

We will still be maintaining our back catalog for the foreseeable future, and we hope you’ll take advantage of our **BIG SALE** happening over at our Bandcamp page. Take a whopping **30% off** anything in the webshop using the code: **ADIEU**

In closing;
**ALWAYS SUPPORT INDEPENDENT ARTISTS & LABELS,
PROTECT TRANS PEOPLE,
FUCK ICE,
FREE PALESTINE,**
and may all your scratch-offs be winners.

Sending love from our kitchen in Chicago, IL.
