Rebounce Survey: Do Past Marriages Bring Emotional Wisdom or Baggage?
When it comes to second chances and finding love after divorce, separation, or losing a loved one, the word emotional baggage gets thrown around a lot; mostly, it comes as a form of a warning. But a recent study by India’s homegrown matchmaking and matrimony app for divorced, separated, and widowed singles, Rebounce, shows that every lesson from a previously married single’s lived experience is not all baggage; some are wisdom earned the hard way. Past experience affects people in surprisingly different ways, and this survey proves it. While 59% of the survey participants revealed they emerged with more emotional intelligence and resilience, 41% disclosed being more guarded, cautious, and taking their time to trust. Rebounce’s Founder and CEO, Ravi Mittal, said, “Previously married individuals don’t automatically come with an extra set of baggage. For many users, we see that they have used their experience as a turning point in their lives. They are definitely more emotionally intelligent than first-time daters; yes, there’s some understandable fear and hesitation too, but that really helps them be more emotionally aware and avoid repeating similar mistakes, or recognize toxic patterns and break them sooner. Moreover, this thing that we call baggage has actually helped second-chance seekers focus on sustainable, healthy relationships over fleeting chemistry people mistake as love.”
The study was conducted from April 2026 to June 2026, among 12359 registered users of Rebounce. Participants ranged in age between 28 and 45, and were randomly selected from Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities for a comprehensive and overall understanding of the weight of lived experience on previously married singles looking to remarry or find love again.
Emotionally informed, not emotionally damaged
According to 44% of respondents, the experience they carry from their previous marriage helped them understand what they want in their ideal partner. Instead of viewing their last marriage as a failure, they think of it more as a valuable lesson. Nisha (31) from Delhi says, “I never knew that having good conflict resolution skills would be one of the non-negotiables for me when I think of an ideal partner. For me and my ex, every conflict blew up into a huge issue. But now I know that I want a partner who can handle it calmly.”
8 out of 10 divorced and separated singles are also seen asking deeper questions, like financial standings, family situations, their take on children and parenting style, much earlier in the connection. The previously married singles and their so-called “baggage” have replaced idealism with clarity. The goal now is proper alignment, not absolute perfection.
Trust is an issue
It is not mandatory for all to come out of a difficult situation stronger than before. Some break, but the important part is that they heal in time too. The same goes for 37% of divorced and separated singles between the ages of 28 and 38. These respondents shared that trust is still an issue for them because of how their marriage ended. They clarified that this doesn’t necessarily manifest as insecurity or jealousy. Sometimes it is much more subtle, like taking longer to open up, constantly gearing up for disappointment, and never allowing themselves to become completely emotionally invested. 7 out of 10 said they have become a lot more observant; they pay closer attention to small details like reply speed, consistency, and emotional patterns. While the “defensive approach” can slow down the pace of the connection, it is not necessarily a bad thing. It can also help avoid making the same mistakes or being overwhelmed and opting out. The slower pace also helps these singles build confidence and let their guards down completely when the time is finally right.
Healing Compatibility
Emotional healing has emerged as one of the most desirable traits among the previously married singles. 58% of the participants from Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities disclosed preferring a partner who is actively working on or has worked through their past issues. Nearly half of the respondents revealed that they are okay with their matches carrying baggage, as long as, in terms of healing, both are compatible and moving forward instead of clinging to the past.

Australia’s Wage Hike, AI Adoption Set to Reshape Offshore Operations in Malaysia: MABC
Kuala Lumpur/New Delhi, June 12, 2026: Australia’s latest minimum wage increase could accelerate the shift of business operations to lower-cost markets such as Malaysia, while also driving greater adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across industries, according to an analysis by the Chairman of the Malaysia Australia Business Council.
Australia’s Fair Work Commission announced a 4.75% increase in the national minimum wage as part of its 2026 Annual Wage Review, raising the weekly minimum wage to AUD 1,004.90 and the hourly rate to AUD 26.44. Entry-level workers will receive an effective increase of nearly 5.95%, alongside structural reforms designed to gradually raise the wage floor.
According to Loong Caesar, Chairman of the Malaysia Australia Business Council (MABC), the decision, while aimed at addressing domestic economic conditions, is likely to have broader implications for Australian businesses operating overseas, particularly in Malaysia.
The report notes that rising labour costs in Australia are widening the cost gap between developed and emerging markets. Malaysia, with its skilled English-speaking workforce, competitive wage structure and mature business ecosystem, remains an attractive destination for multinational companies seeking operational efficiencies.
As wage pressures continue to mount in Australia, sectors such as finance, human resources, information technology support and customer service are expected to see increased offshoring activity. These functions, which are highly scalable and sensitive to labour costs, could increasingly be relocated or expanded in Malaysia to achieve long-term savings.
Several Australian companies already maintain significant operations in Malaysia, including Telstra, Lynas Rare Earths, AirTrunk, NextDC, BlueScope, Cochlear, SEEK and Lendlease. For these firms, Malaysia has become an integral part of their regional and global operating strategies.
However, the report cautions that wage increases in Australia could also create pressure on Malaysian operations, particularly within multinational organizations seeking to maintain internal pay equity. Employees in Malaysia may increasingly expect compensation adjustments aligned with global salary benchmarks. Nevertheless, Malaysia’s overall cost advantage remains significant, supported by its skilled workforce and business-friendly environment.
The growing influence of AI is expected to further transform the equation. Rising wages are making automation more attractive for routine and process-driven tasks such as data entry, customer support, reporting and basic analytics. Rather than eliminating offshore operations altogether, AI is likely to augment them by automating repetitive work while increasing demand for higher-skilled roles.
The analysis suggests that AI could partially offset wage inflation by reducing dependence on labour-intensive processes. However, it also highlights the need for Malaysia to accelerate workforce upskilling initiatives to remain competitive as automation technologies become more widespread.
“The logic of labour arbitrage remains relevant and, if anything, is reinforced by rising wages at home. At the same time, AI is transforming how that arbitrage is realised, shifting the focus from simple cost savings to productivity through technology,” Caesar said.
Industry observers believe the combined impact of higher wage floors and rapid AI adoption could redefine the future of global business services, prompting companies to reassess the balance between offshore labour, automation and productivity-driven growth.

Antibody May Improve Treatment Response in Lung Cancer
DALLAS June 12: An experimental antibody treatment that binds to a protein known as PCDH7 shrank tumors in preclinical models of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), even those resistant to a targeted therapy, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers showed. The findings, published in Science Advances, could eventually lead to a new class of drugs to treat NSCLC and potentially other cancers.
“Overcoming resistance to molecularly targeted therapies is a critical unmet need for lung cancer patients. We are excited that these antibodies may open another therapeutic avenue for lung cancer, especially for patients whose cancers have become resistant to KRAS inhibitors,” said Kathryn O’Donnell, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Molecular Biology and a member of the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern. Dr. O’Donnell co-led the study with first author Nicole Novaresi, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher in the O’Donnell Lab, and collaborators at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
NSCLC accounts for about 85% of lung cancer cases in the U.S. and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The O’Donnell Lab focuses on identifying and characterizing proteins on the surface of NSCLC and other cancer cells due to their potential as therapeutic targets. In 2017, Dr. O’Donnell and her colleagues identified PCDH7 as a driver of NSCLC, especially in tumors with mutations in a gene called KRAS. Found in about 25% of NSCLC cases, these mutations cause uncontrolled cell proliferation that propels tumor growth.
In 2024, the Food and Drug Administration approved a drug called adagrasib, which targets NSCLC with KRAS mutations. However, patients inevitably developed resistance to this treatment over time, leaving them with few therapeutic options.
Searching for a new way to attack NSCLC, Dr. O’Donnell’s group collaborated with Zhiqiang An, Ph.D., and Ningyan Zhang, Ph.D., at the University of Texas Health Science Center to develop antibodies that target PCDH7. The teams then worked closely to characterize and functionally evaluate them. Starting with hundreds of antibody candidates, the researchers narrowed their focus to an antibody called mAb7 that bound strongly to PCDH7, reduced intracellular signaling and proliferation in NSCLC cells, and eventually caused the cancer cells to die.
When the scientists treated mice growing KRAS-mutant NSCLC tumors with mAb7, the tumors shrank significantly. This effect was enhanced when mAb7 was delivered with a drug called trametinib, which targets MAPK/ERK enzymes in the cancer-promoting RAS pathway. This treatment also sensitized the KRAS-mutant NSCLC tumors to adagrasib, causing an effect that reduced tumor size significantly more than mAb7 or adagrasib alone. The team also found that PCDH7 was upregulated in tumors that eventually developed resistance to adagrasib and that mAb7 reduced the growth of those drug-resistant tumors.
To get a sense of whether this strategy might work in patients, the researchers tested mAb7 on mice engineered to have human immune systems. A closer look showed that the antibodies brought immune cells to the human tumor cells and effectively eliminated the cancer cells.
These novel antibodies will require significant testing before use in patients, Dr. Novaresi said. But eventually, they may be used alone or in combination with adagrasib or other emerging targeted cancer therapies. Enhancing them by attaching chemotherapy drugs or by engaging immune cells could help the antibodies fight NSCLC even more effectively. She added that mAb7 may also have potential for treating additional cancers that produce PCDH7 on their cell surfaces, including pancreatic cancer, melanoma, and prostate cancer.
Other UTSW researchers who contributed to this study are John Minna, M.D., Director of the Hamon Center for Therapeutic Oncology Research, Professor of Internal Medicine and Pharmacology, and co-leader of the Experimental Therapeutics Research Program at Simmons Cancer Center; Chul Ahn, Ph.D., Professor of Health Data Science and Biostatistics and a member of the Population Science and Cancer Control Research Program at Simmons Cancer Center; and Shayna Thomas-Jardin, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher in the O’Donnell Lab.
Dr. O’Donnell is co-leader of the Development and Cancer Research Program in the Simmons Cancer Center.
This study was funded by grants from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) (R01 CA207763 and P50CA70907), the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (RP250391, RP190610, RP200327, RP250572, RP260660, and RP210041), The Welch Foundation (I-1881), the V Foundation, the Department of Defense (LC190249), the American Lung Association (LCD 1421064), and the NCI Cancer Center Support Grant (P30CA142543).
Dr. O’Donnell is a scientific co-founder and adviser of ProtomAb Therapeutics Inc., a company created to continue this work. The University of Texas System has filed a provisional patent application on the PCDH7 antibodies for cancer care.

Luxury off-plan homes bring AED5 billion May sales
Keturah founder says Dubai shows its global standing with apartment, villa deals above AED 5 million
Dubai, UAE, June 12: Dubai’s luxury real estate market continued to attract strong investment in May, with developers recording almost AED5 billion in off-plan sales for homes priced above AED5 million.
A market analysis from the Keturah luxury brand today shows villa buyers accounted for AED2.51 billion across 184 transactions, while apartment sales reached AED2.45 billion from 207 deals.
The strongest villa activity came in the AED10-20 million bracket, where 60 transactions generated AED834.2 million in developer off-plan sales, with a further 23 deals worth AED746.3 million recorded in the AED20-50 million range.
Data from DXBinteract shows that apartment sales were concentrated in the AED5-10 million bracket, which accounted for 158 of the 207 transactions recorded during the month.
With a total of 391 apartment and villa sales amounting to AED4.96 billion, it means an average of 12 off-plan homes each worth more than AED5 million were sold every day of the month, at an average of AED12.7 million per property.
“This is the equivalent of almost 400 homes each worth more than £1 million in London, and $1.36 million in New York, being sold in a single month,” said Talal M. Al Gaddah, CEO and Founder of the Keturah luxury brand.
“It says a great deal about Dubai’s standing among the world’s leading real estate markets, and about the depth of confidence that continues to exist here.”
Added Al Gaddah: “This market has proven over many years that its resilience is structural rather than cyclical. When conditions become more challenging, that foundation holds, and serious capital continues to move.
“At the same time, the definition of luxury in real estate is evolving, as global investors focus more on wellness, liveability, environmental quality, privacy, and long-term residency potential.”
Keturah currently has two major residential developments under way in Dubai that sit directly within this market segment. Keturah Reserve is an AED5.7 billion bio-living community in Mohammed Bin Rashid City’s District 7. The Ritz-Carlton Residences at Keturah Resort is a wellness-certified waterfront community along Dubai Creek adjacent to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.
“Both projects were conceived with exactly this shift in mind,” said Al Gaddah. “Buyers are now asking more of the developments they choose. They want to know how a home will actually serve them day to day, how it is built, what surrounds it, and whether it will hold its value over time.
“Developers who answer these questions honestly will earn long-term trust, and Dubai will attract long-term capital because the fundamentals are genuinely strong. The regulatory environment is transparent, the infrastructure is world-class, and the city is planned with genuine foresight.”

Saudi Pro League Golden Boot winner Julian Quinones ready to shine as Mexico open 2026 FIFA World Cup
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 12: When the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off at Mexico’s iconic Mexico City Stadium this evening, among the stars taking to the pitch will be a player recognised by Roshn Saudi League (RSL) fans as the finest of the 2025-26 season.
Julián Quiñones, the Mexico international and Al Qadsiah forward, concluded a sensational 2025-26 RSL campaign as the division’s top scorer with 33 goals, being named Fans’ Player of the Season as well as clinching the Golden Boot. He outpaced two-time consecutive Golden Boot winner Cristiano Ronaldo and Ivan Toney in a race that went to the final whistle of the final matchday. It was, fittingly, a hat-trick that sealed it, his fourth of a remarkable season.
Now, on football’s grandest stage and in front of an expected capacity 81,000 fans at the Mexico City Stadium, and millions more watching worldwide, co-hosts Mexico will look to the prolific forward to translate that lethal form into a World Cup campaign that begins against South Africa in Group A this evening.
“It’s a result of so many years fighting to be in the big leagues,” Quinones said in an interview with the Saudi Pro League website when discussing his Golden Boot achievement. “I have shown it day by day. I dedicate this to all the people who never doubted me. To all my coaches who supported me, to my family, to all those people who have always been there in the worst moments of my career.”
The numbers behind his 2025-26 season are staggering. Quinones averaged a goal every 83 minutes and converted once for every 1.8 shots on target. He also registered a league-high 14 Man of the Match awards and was voted Fans’ Player of the Season by RSL supporters. Beyond the personal statistics, the 29-year-old also created 10 big chances for teammates, underlining a selflessness that belied his elite individual output.
That combination of quality, commitment and team-first mentality has earned the admiration of Al Qadsiah manager Brendan Rodgers, the former Liverpool and Celtic coach who played a significant role in elevating Quiñones’ game this season.
“We were able to help Julián be the top goalscorer, and he knows more than anyone that he could not do that without his teammates,” Rodgers said. “It’s an incredible achievement considering he hardly takes any penalties, but also what else he gives the team, in terms of pressing, commitment, running.”
Such was the confidence his club placed in him that Al Qadsiah moved swiftly to secure his future, with Quiñones signing a new contract, through to 2029, before departing for international duty.
The Roshn Saudi League arrives at this World Cup as the most represented league outside football’s traditional ‘Big Five’, a testament to the competition’s growing stature on the global stage. And in Quiñones, the league has a player ready to announce himself to the world in the most high-profile setting the sport can offer.
“Representing my country is the most important thing,” Quiñones said in an earlier interview. “That’s why I work hard every single day. I give everything in training to make that happen.”

Disha Publication Launches Errorless 202 PYQ Series With Self-Grading Revision System for JEE 2027
New Delhi, June 12:Disha Publication , a leading name in India’s educational publishing space, has launched the Errorless 202 New Syllabus Chapter-wise & Topic-wise 25 Years JEE Main PYQ Series (2026–2002) for JEE 2027 aspirants to help students move beyond conventional question-solving and adopt a more structured preparation approach.
As competition intensifies and preparation strategies become increasingly data-driven, Previous Year Questions (PYQs) continue to play a central role in helping students understand exam patterns and question trends. However, most PYQ resources stop at practice. The Errorless 202 Series seeks to go a step further by integrating practice, revision, and testing within a single framework, enabling students to use PYQs as a more structured preparation tool.
Commenting on the launch, Avinash Agarwal, Director, Disha Publication, said, “For more than two decades, we have observed how students prepare for competitive examinations and how their preparation evolves as the exam approaches. While PYQs remain one of the most effective preparation resources, many students use them only for practice. They often lack a structured way to revisit mistakes, identify weak areas, and measure progress over time. The Errorless 202 Series was created to address this gap by bringing together practice, revision, and testing within a single framework, helping students prepare in a more organised and purposeful manner.“
The series follows a three-step Practice-Revision-Testing (PRT) framework. Students can work through 25 years of JEE Main questions arranged chapter-wise and topic-wise, supported by detailed solutions and separate sections for MCQs and Numerical Value Questions. A key differentiator is the Self-Grading Sticker System, which allows students to mark questions that require revision or those they find particularly challenging, creating a personalised revision repository as preparation progresses.
The series also includes three-level mini quizzes for self-assessment, NCERT Page Locators for quick concept revision, and last five years’ trend analysis to help students identify important topics. Aligned with the latest JEE syllabus, the series is designed to support students throughout their preparation journey rather than only during the practice phase.
The Errorless 202 New Syllabus Chapter-wise & Topic-wise 25 Years JEE Main PYQ Series is available on Amazon and Flipkart. Students can also purchase the series through the official Disha Publications website, where launch offers are available, including complimentary Physics Flashcards featuring 55 high-impact revision cards for Classes 11 and 12, designed around active recall techniques.
