NVIDIA today announced the world’s first family of open source quantum AI models, NVIDIA Ising, designed to help researchers and enterprises build quantum processors capable of running useful applications.

Jamie Gonzalez was nervous as she prepared for what she thought was the last round of an interview for a college scholarship. Gonzalez, a senior at Oxon Hill High School, told herself she needed to do her best to edge out the other finalists. Her nerves started to take over. But then, as she and the other finalists entered the room at the Pepco Edison Place Gallery in Northwest D.C., the emotions changed. A group immediately yelled “Surprise!” while holding large signs. Nearly an hour later, Gonzalez remained in shock. The competition had ended, and each of the finalists had actually become recipients. Gonzalez was one of three students awarded the Chris Crane Memorial Scholarship from Pepco and the Exelon Foundation on Tuesday afternoon. The recognition, which features full tuition, room and board for up to four years, is given to students planning to study business, finance, engineering or IT. Gonzalez is hoping to pursue a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a certificate in aerospace engineering. “As a first-generation student coming from an immigrant family, this scholarship will provide me with the opportunity to actually have access to higher education and pursue a degree that I would have for the first time in my family,” Gonzalez told WTOP. Tyler Anthony, president and CEO of Pepco Holdings, said hundreds of applications were submitted for the scholarship. Throughout the summer, the company runs STEM academies and evaluates students’ performances. The scholarship winners, Anthony said, are based on interviews and performance at the STEM academy. It’s the fifth year the company has provided the scholarships. “As a CEO, you think about community, and you see the moms and dads tearing up and what this means to changing lives,” he said. “It’s just a really good, feel good moment.” Junior Ventura, a student at Capital City Public Charter School in D.C., described the initial suspense as intense. He was relieved when he realized what was actually going on. “My family, we’ve always been people who worked hard,” Ventura said. “In my neighborhood, you never really hear about doctors too much, or lawyers. Very often, you’ll hear dishwashers, restaurant servers.” Ventura’s an aspiring mechanical engineer, and he’s hoping to participate in as many college clubs as his schedule will allow. “My dad is a restaurant server,” Ventura said. “So for me, being able to just become an engineer now, and be somebody in the family who has access to be able to pursue a professional degree, it’ll be life changing for my family.” Jacob Kaminski, from Clayton, Delaware, said the financial help “takes off the financial burden, not just myself and my family as well, because having two younger siblings at home, it allows my parents to focus on them.” He plans to major in civil engineering and said he hopes to one day “make lasting impact in (my) community.” “I’m very excited to go back home, tell my friends and show my siblings and the kids I teach that college is always an opportunity through hard work,” he said.

When Napa Valley meets a vibrant South Asian celebration, you already know the result is going to be breathtaking—but Aastha & Arnav took it to a whole new level. Think rolling vineyards, golden California light, and a wedding weekend that felt equal parts luxury getaway and heartfelt love story. Set against the stunning backdrop of Napa, this multi-day celebration unfolded at the ever-iconic The Meritage Resort and Spa, a Certified Platinum Guide favorite that knows exactly how to host a South Asian wedding with both grandeur and grace. From ceremony to reception, the venue offered the perfect canvas—lush outdoor spaces, elegant ballrooms, and that signature wine-country charm that instantly elevates every moment. Guiding the entire experience was Purvi Shah of Avant Planners, who brought a level of organization and creativity that every couple dreams of. Multi-day weddings are no small feat, but with a planner who understands both logistics and storytelling, every transition felt seamless. Each event flowed into the next with purpose, allowing guests to fully relax and celebrate. The ceremony itself was nothing short of magical. Picture this: a mandap set against vineyard views, soft natural light filtering through, and a gentle breeze that felt like it was part of the design. Fine Linen Creations curated a décor story that complemented the natural beauty of Napa rather than competing with it. Elegant textures, soft florals, and refined color palettes created an atmosphere that felt luxurious yet organic. Aastha, our radiant bride, embodied modern elegance with a timeless twist. Her hair and makeup by Makeup By Abhilasha enhanced her natural glow while ensuring she looked flawless from every angle. Whether she was walking into her ceremony or lighting up the dance floor, she carried that effortless bridal confidence we absolutely love to see. Of course, no wedding weekend is complete without mehndi moments—and artists Heena by Jinal brought intricate artistry to life, weaving tradition into every delicate design. These are the quiet, beautiful details that make South Asian weddings so rich in culture and meaning. As the sun set, the celebration transitioned into a reception that perfectly balanced sophistication with pure joy. DJ Manny from NorCal Entertainment made sure the dance floor was anything but quiet. From high-energy beats to those nostalgic tracks everyone secretly waits for, the vibe was clear: this was a night to celebrate, fully and unapologetically. Guests indulged in a delicious culinary experience by Amber, adding another layer of richness to the weekend. Because let’s be honest—great food is not optional at a South Asian wedding, it’s essential. Capturing every moment with an editorial eye was JC Arts Photography, whose imagery feels both timeless and emotionally charged. From intimate glances to grand celebrations, their work tells a story you don’t just see—you feel. And with Danny Rey Films behind the cinematography, you just know this wedding will live on as a cinematic masterpiece for years to come. Aastha & Arnav’s wedding was truly unforgettable. It’s the laughter, the quiet in-between moments, the energy of loved ones coming together to celebrate something real. Maharani brides, if you’ve been dreaming of a destination wedding that blends natural beauty with cultural richness, let this be your sign.

Land Rover has introduced the new Range Rover Sport Twenty Edition. Celebrates the model’s 20th anniversary with an bevy of special touches. Highlights include 23-inch wheels, forged carbon trim, and a V8 engine. It’s hard to believe, but the Range Rover Sport is turning 20 years old. The company is now celebrating that milestone by introducing the aptly named Twenty Edition. Based on the Range Rover Sport Dynamic SE, the special edition features the Black Exterior Pack as well as subtle “Twenty” badging on the front fenders. They’re joined by 23‑inch wheels that offer a gloss black or gloss silver finish. More: Facelifted Range Rover Sport Hides Its Changes In Plain Sight Three colors will be available including Santorini Black and Ostuni White. However, the real highlight is Sanguinello Orange, which pays tribute to the Range Stormer concept from 2004 and the Vesuvius Orange color of the Range Rover Sport First Edition. Moving inside, there are Ebony Windsor leather sport seats sourced from the Range Rover Sport SV. They’re joined by forged carbon trim, a black suedecloth headliner, illuminated sill plates, and “Twenty” badging on the center console. Besides the special touches, the model comes nicely equipped with heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats as well as heated and ventilated rear seats. They’re joined by a heated steering wheel, a dual-zone climate control system, and an 18-speaker Meridian 3D surround sound system. Other highlights include a 13.7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.1-inch infotainment system. They’re accompanied by metal pedals and a wireless smartphone charger. Power comes from a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine pumping out 523 hp (390 kW / 530 PS). It enables the crossover to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.3 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). The Range Rover Sport Twenty Edition is available to order now and U.S. pricing starts at $114,800. That’s a bit steep, but it’s a nice way to celebrate a model that has generated over one million sales. Range Stormer concept

Highly detailed crescent Moon image with a star field background Mark your calendars: The first New Moon of spring occurs on April 17th, in the fiery sign of Aries, offering a fresh start to our seasonal intentions. Now that the lunar cycle is beginning, we can set our dreams in motion. It’s an excellent time to focus on personal goals, listen to our hearts, and do what feels right on a soulful level. We aren’t listening to what others say or suggest, but instead giving light and energy to our visions. No one can stand in the way of our happiness — if they do, then they will receive a reckoning. Aries is a sign of boldness, which is why we mustn’t let fear hold us back in manifesting our desires during the New Moon. If there is an inkling of hesitance, then we should assess the reasons why with a fine tooth comb. Our intuition might be trying to tell us something that we are unable to see, since we are moving forward at a fast pace. While slowing down is not feasible because Aries moves through prophets at top speed, taking a hot minute to reflect on the past, present, and future will be rewarding, as it’ll help us find a way forward. The fixed star Alpherg aligns closely with the New Moon in Aries. This connection ensures success, but the ways in which we try to attain riches, wealth, and fame might be shady. In cosmic times like these, when an Aries stellium (a cluster of planets in the same zodiac sign) sweeps the sky, we act impulsively without thinking about the repercussions of our behavior. The ego-centric sun, emotional moon, communicative Mercury, Mars, austere Saturn, imaginative Neptune, and the healing centaur Chiron will all be in Aries at the time of the New Moon, making us more selfish and confident than usual. The flip side is that we’ll be short-sighted, so we may shoot our shot at an opportunity without thinking about how it’ll affect us in the long term. On occasion, Aries can let their temper get the better of them when they are frustrated. This lunation will heighten the sentiments on the 16th and the 18th, the days preceding and following the New Moon. With Mars in Aries coming together with Pluto in Aquarius, as well as Mercury and Neptune forming a conjunction in Aries on the 16th, we might find ourselves in a situation where confusing words or lies start a quarrel. In cases like this, it’s best to take a step back and analyze the facts. Do not commit to any decisions until the 18th, when Mercury in Aries’ bond with Pluto in Aquarius exposes matters. Our intuition might be hindered during the New Moon, because the moon (which represents our instincts) is dark and inaccessible by sight. Not having its magic will make us unsure about people and our affairs — especially with the Mercury and Neptune conjunction on April 16th. Meditate on remaining calm before reacting and believing in something that may be inaccurate. Fortunately, Chiron (the wounded healer robotically could not heal itself) gives power to the New Moon. We will rise above the setbacks and grow from the experience. This isn’t a moment when we’ll be a shrinking violet — the opposite will happen. We aren’t going to sit back and let matters consume us. Putting the work into transforming our psyches and making our personal situations develop healthily is pivotal. Even if people try to sabotage us or stand in our way, the good news is that they aren’t going to bring us down for long. We are survivors and born for this. As long as we are being honest and keeping our side of the street clean, we shall survive and thrive without any drama. The lesson from the New Moon in Aries is that we have the chance to create the life we want. This is our time to shine. Like what you see?

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Drake Batherson and Warren Foegel scored power-play goals and the Ottawa Senators — resting six players for the playoffs — beat Toronto 3-1 on Wednesday night in the regular-season finale for both teams. Dylan Cozens added an empty-net goal and James Reimer stopped 19 shots against his former team. Ottawa finished 44-27-11 to take the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. It will open its first-round series against Carolina on the road. William Nylander scored for Toronto. Dennis Hildeby made 35 saves after being recalled from the American Hockey League’s Toronto Marlies on Tuesday. Toronto went 32-36-14, ensuring a bottom-five finish that will allow it to retain its first-round pick in the upcoming draft. The Maple Leafs were 0-6-1 in their last seven. Nylander cut it to 2-1 midway through the third when he backhanded a bouncing puck from the slot past Reimer. Batherson opened the scoring early in the first with his 33rd goal of the season. Foegele made it 2-0 late in the second period. ___ AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl Source
