Consultant ophthalmic surgeon Shahram Kashani recommends the 20-20-20 rule to reduce digital eye strain, advising people to look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes to relax eye muscles and increase blinking. Rising screen time statistics highlight the relevance of the advice, especially during summer when people remain digitally engaged despite being outdoors. Kashani encourages building the habit and warns that persistent symptoms such as dryness or blurred vision should be assessed by a professional to rule out more serious conditions.

TUI outlines the requirements for passengers travelling with a loved one’s ashes, advising that a death certificate be presented at check‑in and that ashes be carried in a non‑metallic, sealable container to allow security scanning. Guidance highlights the need to securely store ashes during take‑off and landing and notes that regulations vary widely between countries, with some imposing strict rules or permits. Research shows growing preference for scattering ashes abroad, though costs and legal requirements can add complications, prompting experts to recommend checking airline and destination rules in advance.
