Google’s Browser-Based Video Editor Is Now Available for Free

Google Vids is the company's web-based video editor, and you can now use it for free. Up until now, Vids was available only for paying Google Workspace subscribers, but this move makes it accessible to everyone. The pitch here is quite simple: Vids is a simple video editing tool that integrates extremely well with Google Drive. You can use basic editing tools and templates for free, and if you're a paying Google subscriber, then you can use its AI features, too. Before you get too excited about Google Vids, though, you should know that it's not a replacement for professional editing software. It's more intended as a good place to get started, a bit like what Windows Movie Maker used to be about 15 years ago. You can do a lot with Google Vids, but if you're a professional, you'll hit the li...

I love how he brings out honesty in his actors without doing too much,” she says of the Page 3 (2005) director.

Climate, urban water stagnation behind rise in brain-eating amoeba infections

Amoebic meningoencephalitis is a rare infection caused by certain brain-eating amoebae that naturally live in our environment, and climate, temperature, and urban water stagnation are major reasons for its rise in Kerala, said health experts on Tuesday. Amoebic encephalitis is a rare but fatal central nervous system infection caused by free-living amoebae, Naegleria fowleri, also known as the brain-eating amoeba, found in freshwater lakes and rivers. There are two types of amoebic encephalitis, namely primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE). Kerala has reported 41 cases of amoebic meningoencephalitis this year, and 18 active cases are currently under treatment in the state. “Unlike common infections such as typhoid and hepatitis A, which o...
