Netflix’s new holiday rom-com “Hot Frosty” finally answers the age-old question “What if Frosty the Snowman was hot? Like, really hot?”Yes, Netflix’s hottest new Christmas movie is finally here and that’s the basic premise of Netflix’s aptly named “Hot Frosty.” This holiday romantic comedy stars Dustin Milligan as snowman Jack Frost, with his washboard abs and seemingly endless torso. Lacey Chabert plays local cafe owner, Kathy, who first crosses his path when he’s still snow and ice. But when he magically comes to life, it sparks a new romance just in time for the holidays.While it may seem like you’ve watched this movie before, the vibe is a bit different. A small town full of busybodies with a heart of gold is going to be familiar. The scene of the leading man being stunned speechless when he first sees his love interest in a dress ahead of the big shindig will be instantly recognizable. But director Jerry Ciccoritti, a veteran of the genre, and writer Russell Hainline, who did the super cute “The Santa Summit” for Hallmark last year, combine to make “Hot Frosty” feel refreshing while also still embracing older fans.’Hot Frosty’ has some ice-cold aesthetics and hot production value(Image credit: Courtesy of Netflix)Aesthetically, the “Hot Frosty” has a darker look, literally, and the screen is always full of rich blues, greens, burgundy, and marigold. There’s more personality with the cluttered homes and shops. Hallmark movies tend to be lit like your doctor’s office, and the homes look like an open house for a new build or Balsam Hill advert. This feels like a Hollywood movieThat’s probably thanks to the movie’s substantial budget. This small town is one where everyone drives a colored vintage car and hangs at Kathy’s retro-style diner full of memorabilia. The universe is canonically set in the same one as Netflix’s “The Christmas Prince” movie series, and it just looks like a cool place to exist in.Netflix has been making their own Christmas romance movies for the better part of a decade now. One even featured Hallmark hunk Luke Macfarlane in 2021’s charming “Single All the Way.” But they’ve had more misses than those that hit the mark.However, Netflix may have finally found its footing because “Hot Frosty” works.

Hallmark movies always keep things pretty PG, but Jack Frosty is a thirst trap. There’s openly lustful ogling and sexual innuendo aplenty and it is certainly a change! Jack spends the majority of the movie shirtless and starts off basically naked aside from a very strategically placed scarf. Things don’t get toned down much when the townswomen see him (accidentally) streaking and call it a “public service.”But despite the lean into the sex appeal, this “snowmance” is by far Netflix’s best offering yet. Several aspects of the film stand out, but it’s most definitely buoyed by starring the reigning “Christmas Queen” Lacey Chabert. Plus, the visible upgrade in quality makes this a movie that’s ripe for countless rewatches, just like Hallmark’s staples. Especially ones that feature Ms. Chabert, like “A Royal Christmas” and “Haul Out the Holly.”Hopefully, the streamer and Hallmark can continue to share because double the Lacey Chabert this holiday season is a treat!”Hot Frosty” also notably borrows from popular romcoms like “Splash” and “Pretty Woman,” which were themselves modernized versions of “The Little Mermaid” and “Cinderella.” Jack is a (metaphorical, this time) fish out of water who can learn anything he sees on TV, and the Julia Roberts favorite gets directly referenced through a lengthy shopping montage set to the classic Roy Orbison song, which recreates several moments from the ’90s film. The story elements are similar, except this time it’s the man who’s the pretty ingénue and Kathy the proverbial Prince Charming, lending for a more subversive depiction.But it’s not just those movies that “Hot Frosty” draws inspiration from. The script has a lot of humor, and it also feels like a throwback to Y2K-era films. There’s even a blooper reel that plays during the closing credits. Plus, there are a couple of fun “Mean Girls” Easter eggs sprinkled in because of its fetch-ing leading lady, and it continues the amusing meta trend of showing its main characters watch past Netflix holiday romances.Still, while Netflix has upped the production value and the creatives behind the movie are drawing from some top-notch movies, at its core, fans of Hallmark movies are going to enjoy “Hot Frosty” too. It still has the main thing all these movies need to succeed, which is a lot of heart. It’s fun, and a tad wanton, but quite an endearing film. Even if logically it’s a little stupid… it’s so charming you overlook that, just like the townsfolk overlook hottie Jack is really a snowman. Because, yep. They all know, and they don’t care.Need more after you’ve watched “Hot Frosty”?

New Delhi: A month ago, on 16 October, scientists mourned the loss of one of the country’s most formidable researchers, Sukh Dev. An exceptional chemist and a devoted nationalist, his students remember him not just for his research but for his unwavering commitment to India, even when the world’s top minds came calling — including Nobel laureate and organic chemist Elias James Corey.
“Whenever he travelled abroad, he would never initiate contact with foreigners. As a proud Indian, he firmly believed that they should approach him, not the other way around,” said Vinod K Singh, Institute Chair Professor, Department of Chemistry, IIT Kanpur, and a former PhD student of Sukh Dev.
Singh recalled the time Sukh Dev did not inform Corey—who had been their research advisor—that he would be visiting Boston where Corey was based. This, according to Singh, was an example of Sukh Dev staying true to his principles of national pride. When Corey learned about it, he invited him for lunch with his lab members, a group of 35 people, including 6-7 Indians.

Born in Punjab province’s Chakwal district in undivided India, Sukh Dev started his journey with a bachelor’s and master’s degree at DAV College in Lahore, where his passion for natural products blossomed. This led him to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore in 1945 for his doctoral studies with renowned organic chemist Praphulla Chandra Guha. It marked the beginning of an illustrious scientific career.Sukh Dev went abroad twice—first immediately after completing his doctorate, to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to work with American chemist John D. Roberts, and later in 1957-58 while serving as a lecturer at IISc, his alma mater, to stay updated on advancements in the field. However, he never wanted to settle abroad and believed that no Indian should remain overseas for more than three to four years.“Like the Japanese, he firmly believed in the philosophy that the nation comes before everything else, even family—a principle he saw as key to a country’s greatness,” Singh told ThePrint.
Patriotism and punctuality—two core virtues of his character—were passed down to his students, many of whom followed in his footsteps and now hold leading positions at top national institutions.Singh, for instance, spent six years in Canada and the US working with EJ Corey, and took up a job in a pharmaceutical company. “But within eight months, when I got an offer from IIT Kanpur, I came back to India,” said Singh.Learning from Ayurveda
When Sukh Dev shifted his focus from isolating new compounds and solving their structures to exploring nature’s pharmacy, he knew exactly where to turn—folklore and the rich wisdom of Ayurveda. He often advised his students and fellow researchers that “while investigating crude ayurvedic drugs or other medicinal plants, one must specifically look for the biological activity for which the drug is renowned in Ayurveda or folklore.” With this vision, Sukh Dev and his team delivered powerful solutions to treat lipid disorders and minimise the risk of early pregnancy loss, and also found cures for parasites plaguing livestock—all by harnessing the healing potential of traditional medicine and uniting ancient wisdom with scientific discovery.
Much of his groundbreaking work on medicinal compounds came to life in the later years of his career at the National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) in Pune. Joining in 1960 as head and assistant director of the Organic Chemistry Division, he focused on isolating and deciphering the structures of novel natural products. These discoveries laid the foundation for the cutting edge industrial research he would go on to lead—a legacy that began in the lab and pushed boundaries beyond it.

Curiosity-driven to market-oriented
Sukh Dev’s passion for science didn’t stop at just natural products—it spanned across multiple areas of organic chemistry. With his flexible mindset and knack for diving into new challenges, he constantly adapted to explore fresh avenues. “As he moved from one institution to another, the thrust of his research effort underwent shifts in consonance with spirit of the institution, ranging from curiosity-oriented investigations to market driven industry/technology oriented research,” wrote one of his students in an article for Arkivoc journal.
After dedicating 30 years of his 60-year-long career to academia, he made a bold shift from research institutions to industry. Already promoted to deputy director at NCL in 1968, he could have comfortably stayed on, but the researcher in him sought bigger, more daunting challenges. Noticing the scientific world’s changing focus, where structure determination was no longer the frontier and applied science was gaining momentum, he seized the opportunity to step into industry.In 1974, he joined the newly established Malti-Chem Research Centre in Nandesari, Gujarat, as its director, bringing with him a wealth of expertise and a relentless drive to push the boundaries of applied science. In this role, he redirected his focus to turning his research into practical technology, providing fresh tools and methods that made it easier to develop medicines and other valuable products.One of the most remarkable achievements by his team at Malti-Chem was developing a process to turn glucose into sorbitol, a naturally mild sweetener. Thanks to their work, the world gained access to low-sugar versions of gum, candies, and even toothpaste.By restructuring abundantly available products in nature, his research group succeeded in producing a whole gamut of high-value products. For this, he explored several swadeshi raw materials like lac and turpentine oil, and extracts from some medicinal plants.
Chemical tweaks to ingredients derived from turpentine have led to a variety of minty-flavoured products. These include flavouring agents for gum, candies, and cough syrups, as well as calming essential oils. Some of these products even help ease nausea in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.His journey from academia to industry wasn’t just a career shift—it was a testament to his unyielding curiosity and drive to make a lasting impact.As an original thinker, he believed in the power of even the smallest idea, which could appear suddenly and disappear just as quickly. He encouraged his students to seize these moments as soon as they came, knowing this was the key to turning an idea into reality.“An idea is a neat little thing. Ideas can easily show up, uninvited, and disappear without warning. That quantum moment matters. If one can connect, correlate or expand that momentary flashed idea, that could be the triggering point to bring an idea to reality,” Sukh Dev had said responding to one of his students’ queries about what triggered great ideas.Last year, on his 100th birthday, he was honoured with the prestigious ‘60 Years of Service Excellence’ award by the American Chemical Society—a fitting tribute. He died at the age of 101, leaving behind a legacy of innovation, curiosity, and patriotism.

There are a number of stories as to why hand dryers aren’t exactly the most hygienic method of drying your hands after washing them and a scientist has proved why in a viral TikTok.They are a much more eco-friendly way of drying your hands compared to paper towels and most public toilets across the UK use them.But they may harbour more germs and bacteria than you may realise…TikToker @devonscience, whose name is Ruth, regularly posts experiments on the social media platform and one in particular of her testing the germs spread by a hand dryer has gone viral.Captioned “urghh, don’t use a hand dryer 😱🦠”, the viral video has 4.7m views at the time of writing along with 181k likes, 72k shares and thousands of comments.@devonscienceUrghh, don’t use a hand dryer😱🦠 —– Update: thank you for all your comments & suggestions. Totally blown away by how far this little video has reached 😮 I’m planning on doing some update videos on this experiment and will post on here, as well as on our FB & IG pages, which you are welcome to follow as well 😉 Thank you, Ruth (from Devon Science) #germs #publictoilet #bacteria #dirty #gross #justdont #scienceteacher #handwashchallenge #handdryer #science #scienceexperiments #microbiology #scienceproject #lesson #handdryer #handdryerbacteriaIn the video, Ruth placed a Petri dish under a hand dryer that was blowing air out and she simply captured whatever it produced.She also collected air from her laboratory in a separate Petri dish in the motion of waving her hands dry in the air and leaving them overnight before finding out what bacteria was in both the next day.And the results were pretty concerning.The hand dryer Petri dish showed different types of bacteria and fungus had grown, forming yellow spots, whereas the dish that was waved through the air was completely clear.At the end of the video, Ruth said this is “why I don’t use hand dryers” and showed herself drying her hands with paper towels.If a hand dryer is the only option, it may be best to wave them in the air to partly dry them and then let them dry naturally instead, although it can take longer.How to join the indy100’s free WhatsApp channelSign up to our free indy100 weekly newsletterHave your say in our news democracy.

MANILA, Philippines – In local book fairs, you may encounter small independent bookstores offering rare and secondhand finds and local publishers filling the shelves with regional folklore, contemporary novels, and traditional recipe books, among others.

In another section, university presses proudly display creative writing collections and meticulously researched works that aim to expand minds and spark discussions. Some university authors also take the opportunity to sign customers’ own copies, happily chatting with readers and sharing the inspirations behind their works and sharing their wealth of scholarly knowledge.
University presses from the University of the Philippines, University of Santo Tomas, and Ateneo de Manila University participated in this year’s Manila International Book Fair (MIBF), the largest and longest book fair in the Philippines, at the SMX Convention Center, Manila on September 10 to 15 — an important move for university presses to advocate for academic freedom in a public, mainstream space.
Publicity as an opportunity
In an interview with University of the Philippines (UP) Press Director Galileo Zafra, Zafra told Rappler that these events are opportunities for groups and individuals to come together and share what they have created.
“Inaasahan natin na ang mga publikasyon ng mga university press ang isa sa mga pangunahing pagkukunan ng mga idea at kaalaman ng policymakers, opinion makers, manunulat, at iba pang humuhubog ng ating mga pananaw sa lipunan,” Zafra said.
(We expect that the publications of university presses will serve as one of the main sources of ideas and knowledge for policymakers, opinion makers, writers, and others who shape our views on society.)
Zafra believes university presses can be seen as part of a wider network of organizations and institutions concerned with the production and dissemination of knowledge. He added that one of the aspirations of university presses, like the UP Press, is to publish books of significance in various disciplines of knowledge relevant to society.

Aiming to thrive in the publishing industry, the objectives of these university presses include the protection of academic freedom and to collaborate with other university presses in major book projects.
According to Zafra, the fulfillment of the vision-mission of a university press relies on academic freedom.
While the role of a campus press is to help in the production and dissemination of knowledge, its responsibility is not limited to printing books. It must also ensure that the books it publishes will help stimulate further production of knowledge. The academic insights these publications foster include critical thinking and encourage lifelong learning among their readers.
Here are the top 10 best-selling books from the UP Press during this year’s MIBF, in no particular order:
Some Days You Can’t Save Them All (Reprint) by Ronnie E. Baticulon
The Knowing Is In The Writing Notes On The Practice Of Fiction Second Edition by Jose Y. Dalisay Jr.
Kumustahan: Creative Writing in the Philippines (The Philippine Writers Series 2024) by J. Neil C. Garcia

From Colonial to Liberation Psychology: The Philippine Experience (Reprint) by Virgilio G. Enriquez
Working Women of Manila in the Nineteenth Century – Revised Edition by Ma. Luisa T. Camagay
A different take on measuring success
In terms of book sales, academic presses measure success differently. While a smaller market meant a smaller print run, Ateneo de Manila University Press Director Rica Bolipata-Santos said success to her is reaching more readers or connecting readers to authors.
“The publishing business is a business of people and ideas,” she said.
ACCORDING to Bolipata-Santos, many of their books are academic titles about rigorously researched topics on social issues. Image from Ateneo University Press
“Filipinos are writing everywhere — the question is how to get those works published,” Bolipata-Santos said.
Here are the top 10 best selling books from the Ateneo University Press during this year’s MIBF, in no particular order:
The Philippines Is Not A Small Country by Gideon Lasco
Unrequited Love: Duterte’s China Embrace by Marites Vitug and Camille Elemia
My Lola’s Love Letters: A Novel by Ines Bautista-Yao
False Nostalgia: The Marcos “Golden Age” Myths and How to Debunk Them by JC Punongbayan
Isabela: A Novel by Kaisa Aquino
Stray Cats: A Novel by Irene Sarmiento
The Collected Stories of Jessica Zafra
Song of the Mango and Other New Myths by Vida Cruz-Borja
The Age of Umbrage by Jessica Zafra
Introduction to Philippine History by John S. Arcilla, S.J.
Zafra also noted that sales are not the main purpose of a university press. Its marketing arm only ensures that the press has an effective way to bring books to many readers, and to connect readers and authors.
“Hindi lamang namin tinitingnan ang perang kinita; tinitingnan din namin ang dami ng librong naipalaganap namin sa mambabasa,” he said.
(We don’t just look at sales, we also look at the amount of books we have distributed to readers.)
Giving titles and authors a chance
In an interview with University of Santo Tomas (UST) Publishing House Director Benedict Parfan, he said there are invaluable books in the sciences, arts, and humanities that would likely go unpublished by most commercial or mainstream presses — not due to their lack of merit, but because most other presses only cater to a narrower selection of titles.
“We are interested in titles that start conversations on important issues, and we welcome literary genres that most commercial publishers avoid because they traditionally generate less sales,” he said.
Parfan pointed out not a lot of publishers would publish poetry books as people in the book industry believe they lack a wide readership. However, three of the best selling books from the UST Publishing House are poetry.

“I wanted to dispel the notion that poetry doesn’t sell, and to encourage more publishers to consider giving poetry titles a chance,” he added.
Here are the top 10 best selling books from the UST Publishing House during this year’s MIBF, in no particular order:
Ayuda: Mga Dagli sa Panahon ng Quarantine by Rolando A. Bernales
Juggernaut by Alyza Taguilaso
Beckoning Baguio: A Decade of Walking in a City of Pines
Complete Stories & Tales by Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo
Diksiyonaryong Biswal ng Arkitekturang Filipino
Planet Nine: Poems
Servando Magdamag at Iba pang Maiikling Kuwento
Under the Aratiles Tree: Stories of a Childhood
Dilit’ Dilim & Mga Lagot Na Liwanag by Michael M. Coroza
Si Balagtas at ang Panitikan para sa Kalayaan by Virgilio S. Almario
Campus presses contribute to showcasing diverse voices and emerging talents in the literary and academic fields.
“Tumataya ang university press kahit sa mga batang mananaliksik o manunulat sa paglalathala ng kanilang mga unang aklat,” Zafra said, as he believes university presses provide a space to express the voices and views of different groups, regions, and sectors of society.
(The university press bets even on young researchers or writers in publishing their first books.)
According to the UP Press director, university presses also value new perspectives by promoting interdisciplinary and emerging fields of knowledge, while applying high editorial and academic standards.
In UST Publishing House, the titles are approved by evaluators and the editorial board.
Bringing books closer to readers
According to Zafra, when the book rack for discounted books at MIBF is crowded with students and other readers, he thinks: “Nakakarating ang mga libro sa dapat patunguhan nito.” (Books reach their intended audience.)
During these fairs, representatives from academic presses engage with attendees, answering questions, providing context that deepens understanding of their published works.
The UP Press director also shared that they enjoy speaking directly to the readers, getting feedback about books, and connecting authors and readers through book signings and other events. Book signings and book bundles helped a lot in moving new releases for the UST Publishing House and the UP Press.

Many people bought creative non-fiction, social science books, and folk literature titles from the UP Press, while fiction, poetry, and architecture books from the UST Publishing House.
Another strategy these campus presses have embraced is the use of social media to broaden their reach, promote their titles effectively and connect with readers. According to Parfan, reels or short videos get more engagement than publication materials or posters.
“Many of our younger readers have found their book communities in Tiktok, and we followed them there,” Parfan said.
Zafra said they are planning to hold more book discussions on different topics and themes of books, connecting with book clubs, and holding book caravans. Additionally, they want to collaborate with other authors, editors, and translators and come up with projects and strategies to reach readers more effectively.
The Philippines was named Guest of Honor in the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany in 2025 — the world’s oldest and largest trade fair for books and other literary content, which began in the 15th century, following the invention of the printing press.
The country has been exhibiting at the said book fair since 2014.
Beyond the books themselves, the presence of university presses in book fairs like the MIBF helps make research and critical and creative works from the academe accessible to a wider readership.
In the heart of local book fairs, the community of authors and readers blend effortlessly. There are books for children and young adults, thought-provoking novels, and scholarly titles that hold the power to reshape perspectives. – Rappler.com
