Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Return for Afghanistan ODIs; Ravindra Jadeja Misses Out on Test & ODI Squads
May 20 (BNP): The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Tuesday announced Team India’s squads for the upcoming Test and One-Day International (ODI) series against Afghanistan, with the return of senior batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for the ODI format emerging as a major highlight.
The squad announcement signals the comeback of two of India’s most experienced campaigners, strengthening the batting line-up ahead of the bilateral contest. Their return is expected to boost both stability and experience in the ODI unit as India prepares for a busy international calendar.
In another significant development, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was excluded from both the Test and ODI squads, raising questions over team strategy, fitness considerations, or workload management. The selectors, however, have not officially elaborated on the reason behind his omission.
The selection panel also made notable changes in the wicketkeeping department, with KL Rahul replacing Rishabh Pant in the squad, adding another talking point ahead of the series.
The India-Afghanistan series is expected to provide crucial match exposure and help the team refine combinations across formats, while fans eagerly await the return of Rohit and Kohli in India colours.

Supreme Court Refuses to Relax Stray Dog Order; Aggressive Rabid Dogs May Face Euthanasia
New Delhi, May 20 (BNP): In a significant ruling on public safety and stray animal management, the Supreme Court of India refused to modify its earlier directive ordering States and Union Territories to remove stray dogs from high-footfall public spaces, including schools, hospitals, bus terminals, and railway stations.
A Bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath, Justice Sandeep Mehta, and Justice N. V. Anjaria observed that public authorities must prioritize citizen safety, particularly in areas frequently accessed by children, elderly persons, patients, and travellers.
The apex court clarified that stray dogs removed from institutional or crowded public spaces cannot be reintroduced into the same areas even after sterilisation and vaccination. Interpreting the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023, alongside the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, the court noted that stray dogs do not have an unrestricted or absolute right to occupy all public places irrespective of their nature and usage.
In a stern observation, the court also indicated that aggressive or rabid dogs posing serious risks to human life may be subjected to euthanasia under legal provisions, while warning authorities of contempt action in case of non-compliance with its directions.
The ruling comes amid growing concerns over rising dog bite incidents across the country, with the court acknowledging the need to balance animal welfare with public safety.

Ananda in the Himalayas (India)
A higher-altitude wellness stay designed for travelers looking for a deeper reset
As travelers place greater value on trips that deliver lasting impact, Ananda in the Himalayas is focusing this summer on longer, more immersive stays, with a seasonal Summer Wellness Offer available from June 1 through July 31, 2026. The program includes savings of up to 40 percent on stays of five nights or more, with fully inclusive pricing that covers accommodation, consultations before and after arrival, personalized therapies, private yoga and meditation sessions, and tailored meals, creating a structured framework for longer, outcome-driven stays.
Set in the Himalayan foothills above Rishikesh, the location naturally lends itself to summer travel. Temperatures are cooler than in much of the region, and the setting feels removed from the intensity of peak-season destinations. Guests follow individualized programs grounded in Ayurveda, yoga, and meditation, often staying for a week or longer to work through specific health and wellbeing goals, from sleep, stress, and burnout to more chronic health conditions such as diabetes or hormonal and metabolic imbalances.
What makes the experience distinct is the sense of structure built into each day, with guided practices and treatments creating a sense of progression over time. As more travelers move away from short trips in favor of something more meaningful, Ananda offers an experience that feels both restorative and purposeful.
This reflects a broader shift toward commitment travel, where time away is designed to deliver lasting results rather than a quick escape.

The Dylan Amsterdam (the Netherlands)
A more relaxed way to experience a European city at the height of summer
Summer in European cities can feel increasingly intense, with packed itineraries and crowded streets leaving little room to enjoy being there. The Dylan Amsterdam addresses this with its Unscripted Summer experience, available from June 21 through September 20, designed to slow the pace and create more space in the day.
Located along the Keizersgracht canal, the 41-room hotel feels notably removed from the city once inside. Guests arrive through a gated entrance into a quiet courtyard, creating an immediate sense of separation from the energy of the city outside. This balance between central location and privacy becomes especially valuable during peak season.
At the center of the experience is a private canal boat journey at golden hour, with a three-course menu served on board and curated across three of the city’s leading kitchens. This is paired with a two-night stay in one of the hotel’s luxury rooms, including daily breakfast at Bar Brasserie OCCO, alongside a more flexible framework that encourages exploration. Complimentary bicycles and personalized walking routes provide a sense of direction without overplanning, while a drink in the hotel’s secluded garden offers a quieter moment to return to at the end of the day.
Amsterdam’s mild summer climate and walkable layout support this more relaxed flow, allowing guests to explore without pressure. For travelers rethinking how they approach city travel, this offers a more flexible and manageable alternative. Increasingly, this points to slower city travel, where travelers pull back from overpacked itineraries and allow more space for spontaneity and ease.

Imperial Hotel (Japan)
A more balanced way to experience Japan, pairing major cities with a seasonal alpine escape
Japan remains one of the most in-demand destinations, but the pace of travel there is beginning to shift. Instead of moving quickly between cities, travelers are building in time to slow down. The Imperial Hotel portfolio supports this by combining stays in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto with Kamikochi, a mountain resort region in the Japanese Alps that is only accessible during part of the year.
Located at around 1,500 meters, Kamikochi offers a cooler and quieter counterpart to Japan’s major cities. First brought to wider attention in the late 19th century by British missionary Walter Weston, it has since captivated travelers from around the world. At its center is the Imperial Hotel, Kamikochi, which opened in 1933 as Japan’s first mountain resort and remains one of the area’s most iconic stays, with a classic alpine lodge feel and views of the surrounding peaks and river valley. The experience is shaped by the landscape, with walking paths connecting sites such as Kappa Bridge, Taisho Pond, and Myojin Pond. The region welcomes over 1.2 million visitors annually, yet remains carefully managed, with access limited to protect its natural environment and preserve a sense of calm.
Open from mid-April through November 15 this year before closing for winter, Kamikochi brings a strong sense of seasonality to a Japan itinerary. Traveling between major cities and this alpine setting allows for a more balanced and intentional rhythm.
This approach highlights the rise of dual-speed travel, where high-energy exploration is balanced with quieter, more reflective time, allowing travelers to engage more meaningfully with both place and pace.

Hotel Belmar (Costa Rica)
A cooler, nature-driven alternative to traditional tropical summer travel
As summer temperatures rise in many coastal destinations, travelers are increasingly looking toward higher-elevation environments that offer a different kind of tropical experience. Hotel Belmar, set in Costa Rica’s Monteverde cloud forest, provides that shift with a naturally cooler climate and a strong connection to nature. The summer months fall within the region’s green season, bringing fewer crowds and a more vibrant landscape. Instead of peak-season congestion, the experience feels slower and more grounded, making it well suited for travelers looking to spend more time in one place.
Longer stays are encouraged through seasonal offers that weave together wellness, guided forest experiences, and the slower cadence of discovery that define Monteverde. Days unfold in close relationship with the cloud forest, from trails winding through the property and immersions at Belmar’s SAVIA reserve to farm-to-table dining supplied by Finca Madre Tierra, the hotel’s regenerative farm.
For travelers rethinking what a summer trip should feel like, Monteverde offers something distinctly different from a beach escape. The combination of cooler weather and deeper immersion creates a more restorative experience overall.
In turn, it underscores growing interest in nature-led travel, where time away is shaped by connection to the environment and a slower, more deliberate approach.

NATO Considers Warship Deployment in Strait of Hormuz; Iran Warns of ‘Serious Consequences’
Brussels/Tehran, May 20 (BNP): Rising tensions in the Middle East have intensified amid discussions within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization over a possible maritime security mission in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz to safeguard commercial shipping routes and regional stability. The move comes as disruptions in the oil transit corridor continue to trigger global concerns over energy security and maritime trade.

However, NATO officials clarified that no formal decision has yet been taken regarding the deployment of warships, stressing that any mission would require political consensus among all 32 member nations. Senior alliance officials indicated that discussions remain at a preliminary stage, with several member states reportedly expressing reservations over direct military involvement in the volatile region.
Reacting sharply to reports of a possible foreign naval mission, Iran warned that any expanded military presence in and around the Strait of Hormuz could lead to “serious consequences,” reiterating its opposition to external intervention in regional waters. Tehran has maintained that foreign military deployments risk escalating tensions further in an already fragile geopolitical environment.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most crucial energy corridors, through which a significant share of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments passes daily, making any disruption a matter of global economic concern.

Vestian Launches Managed Workspace Platform, Targets 2 Mn Sq Ft Expansion
Bengaluru, May 20 : Vestian has expanded its service portfolio with the launch of Vestian Spaces, an integrated managed workspace platform that brings together workplace strategy, design, project execution, and facility management under a single offering.
The move marks a strategic service line extension for the company as occupiers increasingly shift toward flexible, scalable, and experience-led workplace solutions. Through Vestian Spaces, the firm aims to provide enterprises with end-to-end workplace services across the entire office lifecycle, moving beyond traditional real estate advisory and transaction services.
The company plans to scale the platform to over 2 million sq. ft. within the next three years, targeting major office markets including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, and the National Capital Region.
Unlike conventional coworking and managed office operators that rely heavily on outsourced vendors, Vestian said its platform will operate on a fully integrated in-house model, enabling the company to manage the entire workplace lifecycle internally from advisory and design to execution and ongoing operations.
“Workplaces are no longer viewed as static real estate assets; they have become strategic tools for business performance, talent engagement, and organizational agility,” said Michael Silver, Chairman, Vestian. “With Vestian Spaces, we are bringing together the expertise required to help companies build and operate workplaces that can evolve with changing business needs.”
Shrinivas Rao, CEO, Vestian, said the company sees increasing demand from enterprises looking for integrated workplace solutions.
“Clients today want more than just office space they seek scalable environments that enhance employee experience, support business expansion, and simplify workplace management,” Rao said. “Vestian Spaces delivers a seamless and future-ready workplace experience through a single accountable partner.”
Highlighting the company’s operating model, Ajai Kartik, Executive Vice President, Vestian Spaces said the platform differentiates itself by keeping all core workplace functions in-house rather than outsourcing them to third-party vendors.
“The managed workspace sector has largely evolved around outsourced delivery models. Vestian Spaces takes a fundamentally different approach by offering a fully integrated, in-house operating structure that ensures accountability, consistency, and quality across the workplace lifecycle,” he said.
Industry experts believe the managed workspace segment is entering a new phase of growth as large enterprises increasingly prefer flexible, capex-light office models amid changing workplace strategies and rapid expansion of GCCs in India.
With the launch of Vestian Spaces, Vestian enters the rapidly evolving managed workspace segment, addressing the growing preference among occupiers for flexible, fully managed, and experience-centric office solutions over traditional leasing models.

Liquibase Financial Services Playbook Offers New Findings, Best Practices to Let FinServs Protect Data and Navigate the Mythos-Class Threat Age
While Financial Institutions Primarily Focus on AI Models, Mythos‑Class Attackers Target Their Databases. Research Across Hundreds of Engagements Finds Universal Problems.
AUSTIN, Texas, May 20, 2026 – Liquibase, provider of database change governance solutions used by many of the world’s leading financial services organizations, today announced The Financial Services Playbook for Governed Database Change, a new executive guide designed to help financial institutions modernize and secure one of the last major control gaps in enterprise technology delivery: database change.
Built for CIOs, CTOs, platform engineering leaders, database architects, and compliance teams, the playbook examines how banks, insurers, payment processors, fintechs, and capital markets firms continue to face a growing governance gap between highly automated application delivery pipelines and still-manual database change processes.
“Every other layer of the software delivery pipeline has been automated, policy-driven, and made auditable,” said Ryan McCurdy, Vice President at Liquibase. “But at many financial institutions, database changes are still routed through tickets, manually reviewed, and directly executed in production. In today’s regulatory environment, that is no longer simply inefficient. It is an operational and compliance exposure.”
Field research for the Playbook was conducted across hundreds of financial services engagements spanning enterprise banks, regional institutions, credit unions, global insurers, payment processors, fintechs, and capital markets firms.
Among key findings:
- The problem is universal. Manual database change execution is the industry baseline, not a maturity problem at lagging organizations.
- Compliance is the accelerant. SOX, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and DORA are driving purchase decisions. When auditors flag deficiencies, budget materializes.
- The DBA bottleneck is structural. Executive mandates to remove DBA involvement from routine changes are appearing at the largest institutions.
- The proven path is pilot, platform, enterprise. Start with two to five applications, build the pipeline through platform engineering, then scale.
- Multi-database reality is the baseline. Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, DynamoDB, Databricks. Partial coverage is not governance.
Organizations that close this gap deliberately will set the standard. The rest will be forced to catch up by their auditors, their regulators, or a production incident.
Drawing on field research from hundreds of financial services engagements, the playbook argues that manual database change execution remains the industry norm, even at highly mature institutions. It outlines how mounting regulatory scrutiny from frameworks including SOX, PCI DSS 4.0, SOC 2, DORA, and emerging operational resilience requirements is accelerating demand for governed database delivery pipelines.
The playbook also addresses a growing concern around AI adoption in software delivery.
“Financial institutions are entering a phase of AI adoption under a perilous assumption: that governance frameworks built for human-driven systems can simply be extended to autonomous agents,” said Chris Steffen, Research VP, Enterprise Management Associates. “That assumption is now clearly outdated. Governance that ends too early is a crucial misstep, one that leaves databases exposed to a kill chain that’s now moving with unprecedented speed and lethality.”
Liquibase recently explored that emerging threat in its analysis: Banks Focus on AI Models. Mythos Class Attackers Focus on Your Databases.
Rather than focusing narrowly on tooling, the playbook walks readers through the operational realities financial institutions face today, including DBA bottlenecks, fragmented deployment tooling, audit evidence reconstruction, schema drift, and growing separation-of-duties concerns.
The guide also details a practical maturity path for organizations seeking to modernize database governance. Chapters include:
- The governance gap: why database delivery remains structurally different from application delivery
- How governance failures create operational, audit, and regulatory exposure
- The evolving role of DBAs, platform engineering, and compliance teams
- An eight-principle target operating model for governed database change
- A phased rollout strategy covering pilot, platform, and enterprise adoption
- A framework for evaluating build-versus-buy governance approaches
- Metrics financial leaders can use to justify modernization investments
- The impact of AI-generated SQL and hybrid cloud database environments on governance strategy
TL;DR: FinServ Operational Resilience Is At Risk
Manual database change execution is throttling data security and is the FinServ industry baseline, not a maturity problem at slow-adopter organizations.
Organizations that embed governance directly into database delivery pipelines now will gain operational resilience and regulatory advantages. Institutions that delay modernization risk being forced into reactive remediation by data loss or corruption incidents, by audit pressures, and by competitive market forces.
The executive summary of The Financial Services Playbook for Governed Database Change is available now from Liquibase: https://www.liquibase.com/

Histria Books Signs Former US Navy Commander Ron Terrell for Debut Thriller Book
Yemen-set political thriller draws on author’s years of US Navy service in the Middle East; publication scheduled for spring 2027 under the Histria Fiction imprint.
NEW YORK — Histria Books, an independent US publisher distributed by Simon & Schuster, has signed former US Navy Commander Ron Terrell for his debut novel, The Last Cocktail in Yemen. The book is the first installment in a planned trilogy and will publish in spring 2027 under the Histria Fiction imprint.
Set in Yemen during the rise of the Houthi movement, the novel follows Jack Marshall, a US Navy officer stationed in Sana’a, and Nur al-Sayed, an Egyptian journalist, whose relationship unfolds amid political turmoil and personal danger. Terrell draws on years of firsthand experience in Yemen and the Middle East region.
“Ron Terrell brings to the thriller shelf what most novelists have to research from a distance: actual experience on the ground in the country the book is set in. That shows on every page.” — Dr. Kurt Brackob, Director, Histria Books
A Foreign Area Officer specializing in the Middle East and Arabic language, Terrell retired from the Navy at the rank of commander. Originally trained as a civil engineer at Purdue University, he later earned a master’s degree in security studies from the US Naval War College, pursued advanced Middle East regional studies at the US Naval Postgraduate School, and studied Arabic at the Defense Language Institute.
He served across the Middle East, including an assignment with US Naval Forces Central Command, where he led maritime engagement with Yemeni and Omani naval forces. He lived in Bahrain during the Arab Spring and traveled frequently to Yemen during the rise of the Houthi movement, working alongside local naval forces and, at times, US special forces.
“I wanted to write the Yemen I knew, not the Yemen of the headlines. Everything Jack and Nur live through was inspired by something I saw or someone I met.”
— Ron Terrell
Now living in Puerto Rico, Terrell spends his time writing, diving, and enjoying family and coastal life. He is currently writing the second volume of the trilogy.
Firehouse Communications & Partners is the originating agency and publicist for Ron Terrell and The Last Cocktail in Yemen.

The Golem’s Holocaust by Scott Eveloff, now available from Histria Books
The Golem’s Holocaust by Scott Eveloff now available from Histria Books
Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of The Golem’s Holocaust by Scott Eveloff. This novel is published by Histria Fiction, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding original works of fiction.
In The Golem’s Holocaust, Scott Eveloff merges the brutal reality of Nazi-occupied Europe with ancient Jewish mysticism. The novel follows Shayna, a young Jewish girl, and Emet, a mythical Golem summoned to protect his people from destruction.
What makes this approach stand out is how it reimagines history not just as a record of endurance, but as a site of supernatural defiance. Instead of focusing purely on tragedy, Eveloff gives physical form to cultural resilience and the desire for vengeance. Bringing folklore to life against the backdrop of the Holocaust shifts the lens away from victimhood and toward raw, mythical agency. The book asks difficult questions about survival, justice, and the moral weight of fighting back against absolute evil. Readers looking for historical fiction that takes bold risks will find a fresh, visceral exploration of collective trauma and the enduring power of myth.
Scott Eveloff MD is a retired pulmonary physician with thirty years of clinical experience and past appearances on The Dr. Oz Show, ABC’s 20/20, and Inside Edition. His writing is fueled by a fascination with historical mysteries, the supernatural, and a lifelong dedication to uplifting the disadvantaged. Now spending his retirement “resuscitating plot lines instead of patients,” Dr. Eveloff enjoys traveling with his wife and writes in enduring memory of his late son, Andrew, whose boundless enthusiasm continues to inspire his characters.
The Golem’s Holocaust by Scott Eveloff, 264 pp., ISBN 978-1-59211-722-2, is available at HistriaBooks.com and from all major book retailers. This title is also available as an ebook. Titles published under the imprints of Histria Books are distributed in the United States and Canada by Simon & Schuster and in the rest of the world through Unified Book Distribution.

Kardome Voice AI Reaches Mass Market with LG OLED TV Deployments
May 20, 2026 – Kardome achieves a major consumer electronics footprint with LG TVs powered by Kardome’s Spatial Hearing AI for human-like voice localization and isolation.
Elevating the Home Entertainment Experience
Kardome’s Spatial Hearing AI technology is now commercially deployed in LG’s flagship OLED TV series, completing its pivotal transition from development to mass-market production. This deployment represents a significant leap in voice user interface (voice UI) performance, enabling LG’s OLED TVs to locate and focus on individual speech with human-like accuracy, even in high-background noise environments typical of modern living rooms.
By utilizing Kardome’s proprietary Spatial Hearing AI technology, LG can now provide its customers with:
- Unmatched Voice Isolation: The “No-Mute” Experience: Kardome’s technology locates and isolates individual voices in real-world settings, distinguishing the user’s voice from background noise, such as a vacuum cleaner, multiple people speaking at once, or even the TV’s own playback. For the customer, this means they no longer have to reach for the remote to mute the TV or shout over other people talking just to change a setting.
- Human-Like Spatial Awareness: Unlike traditional VUI, Spatial Hearing AI enables the TV to “hear” like a human by identifying the speaker’s location and focusing on their specific voice. This allows for natural, seamless interaction regardless of the number of people in the room or the complexity of the acoustic environment.
Global Reach and Expansion
The Kardome-powered LG OLED TVs are now available globally, with a projected target of millions of units for 2026, ensuring that customers worldwide can experience the next generation of voice-enabled interaction.
While the current TV integration focuses on Spatial Hearing AI technology for TVs, both companies continue to explore further expansion into smart appliances, audio products, and the automotive sector.
Leadership Perspectives
“Kardome’s Spatial Hearing AI has proven itself in real-world consumer environments, and we are proud to bring this capability to our OLED TV customers worldwide. The deployment reaffirms LG’s commitment to delivering intuitive, intelligent user experiences through cutting-edge technology partnerships.” — Jungho Kwak, Head of MS SW Platform Development Division, LG Electronics
“Reaching commercial deployment with LG at this scale is a defining moment for Kardome and for the voice AI category. Our Spatial Hearing AI technology is now in the hands of millions of consumers globally, and this is just the beginning. We are excited to continue expanding the scope of our collaboration with LG and to bring Spatial Hearing AI to even more product categories.” — Dani Cherkassky, CEO, Kardome
