Are you a kitchen gadget aficionado? We definitely are. That’s why we’re here to tell you about the doodads that you can get great use out of and won’t waste your time (we’re looking at you, novelty wine openers). From tortilla presses to woks, read on to learn the three surprising kitchen accessories you need.
Rice Cooker
We remember life before the rice cooker—it was bad. This may not seem like a necessity, but wait until you try it. Think about the last 50 times you cooked rice. Did the water boil over? Was your rice dried out? Did you waste burner space, so you had to wait to start cooking another part of the meal?
Well, no more! An excellent rice cooker comes with precise measurements, so you know exactly how much water to add with your rice to never deal with that burning-stovetop smell again (at least, not with rice).
Wok
If efficiency is your goal, you can’t do better than a wok. As you shop for your wok, you should note that flat-bottomed versions are easier to work with. The curved-bottom woks are cool, but they require a “wok ring” to work well on your stove—the fewer extra pieces, the better! With only one pot for cooking and cleaning, you can make dozens of delicious veggie-based meals without a hassle.
Tortilla Press
Why should you get a tortilla press? Because you should be making homemade tortillas. Seriously—homemade corn tortillas are infinitely better than their store-bought counterparts. Do yourself (and your family) a favor by picking up the habit of making your own tortillas. Homemade tortillas create happy, tasty memories, and they’re also a great way to experience Mexican culture for yourself. It’s always good to broaden your horizons and enjoy other cultures.
Now that you know the three surprising kitchen accessories you need, stock up your cooking space with the right goodies; you’ll be sure to wow your guests!
Ah, the 4th of July. That magical time when grills sizzle, flags wave, and the night sky erupts in a glittery celebration of freedom. But before you dive into a pool of potato salad and patriotic playlists, let’s take a moment to explore why we celebrate, how we’ve celebrated through the ages, and how to make the most of this all-American holiday—whether you’re hitting the road or chilling at home.
Grease management might not be the most glamorous part of running a restaurant, but it’s one of the most critical. Without proper handling, grease buildup can lead to plumbing disasters, regulatory fines, and the potential closure of your beloved business. Here’s a breakdown of the grease regulations you must abide by to help your restaurant stay compliant.
Whether you’re stepping up to the plate for a home run or practicing your swings in the batting cage, your baseball bat is a crucial part of your game. To maximize its lifespan and maintain optimal performance, you’ll need to use it beyond just its intended purpose.
Engine overheating is one of the most common and concerning issues drivers face. It can lead to costly repairs and even complete engine failure if not addressed promptly.
Solenoid valves play a critical role in controlling the flow of liquids and gases in various systems, from industrial machinery to sprinkler systems. They disrupt entire operations when they fail, causing costly downtime or damage.

SECRETARY-GENERAL/TRIP ANNOUNCEMENT
The Secretary-General will be arriving in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to attend the 17th Summit of the BRICS countries.
The Secretary-General has been invited to speak at an outreach session on “Strengthening multilateralism, economic-financial affairs and artificial intelligence", that will take place on Sunday, 6 July. On Monday, 7 July, he will address a second outreach session, on "Environment, COP30 and global health.”
During his visit, the Secretary-General will also be having meetings with various leaders who are attending the BRICS Summit and we will share those readouts with you.
DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL
Our Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, returned to Seville today for the closing of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4).
At the closing with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain, she underscored the consensus around the Seville Agreement as a demonstration of multilateralism in action — with actions to close the SDG financing gap, address the debt crisis, and reform the international financial architecture. She recognized the more than 100 initiatives launched on the Sevilla Platform for Action, including solidarity levies on private jets and first-class travel to generate new resources for sustainable development.
She said that the UN will be operationalizing a Seville Forum on Debt to help countries learn from one another and coordinate their approaches in debt management and restructuring; that forum will be supported by Spain.
She called for FFD4 to be remembered not only as a conference that responded to crisis, but as the moment the world chose cooperation over fragmentation, unity over division, and action over inertia.
Tomorrow, she will travel to Praia, Cabo Verde, to take part in celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the country’s independence.
GAZA
The Secretary-General is appalled by the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Multiple attacks in recent days hitting sites hosting displaced people and people trying to access food have killed and injured scores of Palestinians. The Secretary-General strongly condemns the civilian loss of life.
In just one day this week, Israeli orders to relocate forced nearly 30,000 people to flee, yet again, with no safe place to go and clearly inadequate supplies of shelter, food, medicine or water.
International humanitarian law is unambiguous: civilians must be respected and protected, and the needs of the population must be met.
With no fuel having entered Gaza in more than 17 weeks, the Secretary-General is gravely concerned that the last lifelines for survival are being cut off. Without an urgent influx of fuel, incubators will shut down, ambulances will be unable to reach the injured and sick, and water cannot be purified. The delivery by the United Nations and partners of what little of our lifesaving humanitarian aid is left in Gaza will also grind to a halt.
He once again calls for full, safe and sustained humanitarian access so aid can reach people who have been deprived of the basics of life for far too long. The UN has a clear and proven plan, rooted in the humanitarian principles, to get vital assistance to civilians – safely and at scale, wherever they are.
The Secretary-General reiterates that all parties must uphold their obligations under international law. He renews his call for an immediate permanent ceasefire and for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups.

ODN Video: Kyiv in Turmoil After Russia’s BIGGEST Aerial Attack on the City
These videos show what Ukraine’s capital city Kyiv, looked like overnight, as Russia launched its largest aerial attack on the city since the war began in 2022.
Here's what we know so far:
According to Ukrainian authorities, last night’s strikes hit almost every district of the capital.
Air raid sirens sounded for over eight hours in Kyiv, which according to the Ukrainian Air Force, was the ‘main target of the strikes’.
Thousands of people took refuge in underground shelters and the city’s subway tunnels.
The key details:
Ukraine claims Russia deployed 550 drones and 11 missiles in the attack, making it the largest Russian attack on the area throughout the entire war.
72 of the 550 drones launched were able to penetrate air defences - an increase from the previous record of 537 which were launched last Saturday night.
The attack injured at least 20 people, as well as destroying infrastructure and residential buildings in the area.
Here's the context:
These attacks come as part of a string of recent major Russian air strikes in Ukraine, showing that ceasefire talks have been largely unsuccessful.
In a lengthy phone call with US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin maintained that Russia will achieve its goals - namely to eliminate the root causes which they say led to the current state of affairs.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that this call took place ‘almost simultaneously’ with the first air raid alerts in Ukraine.
The reaction:
Zelenskyy took to X to reflect on the attack. Despite the phone call between Trump and Putin, he said that Russia is showing it has no intention of ending the war and terror.
Putting pressure on US President Donal Trump, he also said that Russia must feel appropriate sanctions, and it depends, primarily, on the United States.
Trump had expressed his frustration towards Putin after their phone call, saying he was ‘disappointed’ in him.
The two leaders are expected to speak on the phone today about the paused US shipments of military aid to Ukraine.

International Video: Gaza: Hamas studying proposals for a 60-day ceasefire
Gaza's Health Ministry says at least 138 Palestinians have been killed in the past day - 63 of them while seeking humanitarian aid.
(Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
But many people are pinning their hopes on an imminent ceasefire.
Hamas officials say they are studying proposals for a 60-day halt to the fighting, while President Trump said last night he expected the group to respond within 24 hours.
And a warning: this report contains distressing images.

It was a harsh and sleepless night for the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, as President Zelenskyy put it, after Russia launched a record number of drones and missiles in a barrage lasting more than seven hours.
(Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Dozens of people were injured and one man was killed, while the smoke blanketing the city was so toxic residents were warned to keep their windows closed.
Mr Zelenskyy spoke to President Trump this afternoon - and said both men had agreed to "work on increasing airspace protection".
He also said Ukraine would step up production of interceptor drones to shoot down Russian attack drones.

Ukraine's capital city Kyiv took the most damage. A city that Vladimir Putin thinks should still be in Russia. And the bombs are falling harder and faster than ever before.
Ukraine’s ability to defend itself still relies heavily on US weapons, which President Trump announced this week were now in such short supply that America needed to concentrate on restocking it’s own supplies.
Trump meets President Zelenskyy today, having spoken to President Putin on the phone earlier but making zero progress. Trump says he was "very disappointed" with the conversation. Quite the understatement for the man who’d boasted while campaigning to be President that he’d somehow end the carnage in Ukraine within a day.

France and the UK are jointly funding police operations along the French coast - and both countries are considering a "one in, one out" deal, allowing French officers to venture further from the shoreline to stop boats from leaving. That may be revealed when President Macron visits London next week.
