  Who took ‘Napalm Girl’? World Press Photo ‘suspends’ attribution of historic Vietnam War image

  World Press Photo has cast fresh doubt over the authorship of “The Terror of War,” a picture better known as “Napalm Girl,” amid growing debate about one of the 20th century’s defining images.The organization, which named the image “Photo of the Year” in 1973,announcedFriday that it has “suspended” its longstanding attribution to retired Associated Press (AP) photographer Nick Ut. Anaccompanying reportsaid the “visual and technical” evidence “leans toward” an emerging theory that a Vietnamese freelance photographer, Nguyen Thanh Nghe, took the photo.Photographer Nguyen Than Nghe attending the "The Stringer" premiere during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Maya Dehlin Spach/Getty ImagesA reconstruction of the scene by Index, based on a “geo-based timeline,” suggested that Ut would have needed to have “taken the photo, run 60 meters (197 feet), and returned calmly, all within a brief window of time,” World Press Photo said. The organization described that scenario as “highly unlikely” though “not impossible.”In a statement emailed to CNN, the organizer of the Pulitzer Prizes said it “does not anticipate future action” regarding Ut’s award. “The Pulitzer Prizes depend on submitting news organizations to determine the authorship of their entries,” the statement read. “AP’s extensive review showed insufficient proof to withdraw credit.”

  ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’: How Netflix brought the imaginary town of Macondo to life

  How do you bring to life a town that never existed, yet shaped Latin American literature forever? Netflix’s adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude takes on that challenge by building the fictional Macondo entirely in Colombia, the homeland of Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez. The show, spanning two seasons, is produced in Spanish and supported by the author’s sons. From its opening scene to its final details, the story immerses viewers in the world of the Buendía family, whose lives echo the novel’s themes of memory, love, loss, and time.Production designer Bárbara Enríquez recreated Macondo with remarkable care, building full-scale towns to reflect the shifting eras of Colombian history. From bamboo huts to elegant colonial homes, the sets evolve with the storyline. Magical realism is treated with subtlety — supernatural events are embedded in the ordinary, just as Márquez intended. Props like the legendary block of ice or Melquíades’ Sanskrit manuscript are crafted with precision. Even the Buendía house becomes a character, its atmosphere shifting with the family’s emotional states.Two versions Macondo were built in Alvarado, a town in the Colombian Andes, to show the passage of time as the town prospers. Mauro González/NetflixCostume designer Catherine Rodriguez combined historical research with creative interpretation, sourcing antique materials and collaborating with Indigenous artisans. Characters’ wardrobes grow with them, reflecting their personalities and the town’s transformation. Through meticulous set design and costume work, the series honors the legacy of García Márquez while inviting new audiences to experience his world. As Enríquez says, the show is both a tribute and a bridge — leading people back to the novel or inspiring them to read it for the first time.

  Unlock This Summer's Sun Protection Strategy! 2025's 4 Sunscreen Trends: This Shade Tops the Tinted SPF List, and Reef-Safe Formulas Become the New Eco Norm

  With the intensification of climate change and the increasing strength of ultraviolet radiation each year, sun protection has evolved from seasonal skincare into a crucial daily skincare step for everyone. Choosing the right sunscreen can help maintain stable skin condition and makeup throughout the day. 屈臣氏 (Watsons), based on actual sales data from stores across Taiwan and its official online store, has compiled the four major sunscreen trends for 2025.Tinted Sunscreen – A Purple Tone is PreferredFor those seeking a translucent makeup look or who dislike foundation, tinted sunscreen is a daily essential that combines skincare and makeup primer functions. Sunscreens with purple or pink tones are especially popular. These products not only block ultraviolet rays, pollution, and air pollutants, but also correct sallow and dull skin tones, creating a naturally bright and cool-toned "fair skin" look even without foundation.Hypoallergenic Sunscreens with Advanced FeaturesIncreasing air pollution and intense ultraviolet radiation, coupled with irregular modern lifestyles and stress, are making skin more sensitive. Gentle hypoallergenic sunscreens are now essential for sensitive skin types. Beauty advisors recommend paying attention to labels indicating "no fragrance," "no alcohol," and "suitable for sensitive skin" when choosing these products. They are more suitable for long-term daily use.Gentle and hypoallergenic sunscreen is a daily essential for sensitive skin.

Watsons' sales rankings show that spray sunscreen with a flip-up design, portable bottles, and cooling effects has become a favorite among those who value skin freshness and are always on the go.Ocean-Friendly Sunscreen – A New Environmental StandardAs "sustainable living" becomes a daily practice for many consumers, the environmental friendliness of sunscreen has also become an important consideration. Sunscreen products labeled "ocean-friendly" are often free of chemicals harmful to coral reefs, and have excellent water resistance and sweat resistance functions.
