Lewis Hamilton Goes Off-Track with Dior Men

Lewis Hamilton’s first co-designed capsule collection for Dior Men isn’t just a mere slap of his name.(ALFREDO PIOLA)

When Lewis Hamilton was announced as Dior’s brand ambassador in July this year, it probably came as a shock to no one. The multiple Formula 1 record holder—the man has the most career wins and world championship titles to date—isn’t just a blur on the racetrack, he’s quite the snazzy dresser off of it. Specifically, Hamilton had been spotted wearing Dior Men on multiple occasions while making the F1 Grand Prix circuit this season.

Brand ambassadorships are a well-established concept that works. But at the rate persons of note are being conferred the title, it’s nigh impossible to keep track of who’s affiliated to which brand. What is rare, however, is a brand ambassador who is more than just a physical embodiment of what a brand represents.

Hamilton seems to have a knack for taking his involvement with fashion brands a step further than the norm. With Tommy Hilfiger, Hamilton co-created four TommyXLewis capsule collections from 2018 to 2020, imbuing his own personal sense of style to that of the American brand. And now at Dior Men, he’s charging ahead with a capsule collection designed together with artistic director Kim Jones.

“Working with Kim and the talented team at Dior has been a dream, and I was honoured when Kim asked if I’d like to do this with him. Our values and ideas are aligned, making it easy to bring to life a creative collection infused with our shared experiences,” Hamilton expresses.

The new Dior Men Lifestyle Capsule collection is not F1 , or even racing-related, because that would be far too predictable and Hamilton is a multi-faceted individual. Instead, the collection revolves around skiing and snowboarding as a personal celebration of Hamilton’s love for an outdoor-centric winter lifestyle. He’s an adrenaline junkie and has a love for extreme sports aside from motorsports.

“We share a love of nature, a desire to celebrate Africa and an interest in the artisanal processes and techniques that unite craftspeople in Africa with the savoir-faire of the Dior ateliers. Added to that, this collection also reflects Lewis’ sporting side, his virtuosity and our functionality,” says Jones.

African-inspired touches come in the form of motif as well as the use of colours.(ALFREDO PIOLA)

In many ways, the Lifestyle Capsule collection is a global effort. African-inspired motifs are incorporated within the collection (Jones grew up in African countries in his early years), adding vibrancy to technical functionalities. African weaves made in Burkina Faso, for example, have been crafted into casual suiting by the Dior ateliers, and custom snowboards by Switzerland-based Factory 9 feature Dior branding set against graphic African-inspired motifs. The collection’s technical skiwear by Japanese sportswear brand Descente too are made to withstand the harsh cold conditions on the slopes. The expertise rendered by these different “global ateliers” all ensure that not only do the pieces look exceptional and on par with Dior’s craftsmanship, but that they also function on the same level.

Hamilton has taken it a step further by pushing the boundaries of the Dior ateliers in ensuring that sustainability isn’t an afterthought to the creation of the collection. Having been on a plant-based diet since 2017, Hamilton insisted that no animal leather is to be used for any of the pieces in the Lifestyle Capsule collection. He’s pushed for more conscious choices in terms of materiality. The collection’s ready-to-wear such as slouchy denims, knitwear, and fleeces are made partly using organic or recycled textiles. A micro-fibre snow shoe, the Dior Snow derby, has been designed to serve as a casual pair of footwear while simultaneously being capable of performing on the slopes over a snowboard—a cleverly designed versatile pair.

These new touches serve to enhance the collection while retaining the essence of a Kim Jones Dior Men collection. The B44 Blade sneaker is a new addition to Jones’ expanding sneaker offerings for Dior Men. Conceptualised with a decidedly 2000s silhouette in mind, it’s undoubtedly sporty in its allure and rendered in tasteful gradations of colours. It’s too early to say if the design will become a mainstay for Dior Men but it definitely fits in with the existing Dior Men universe.

In an interview with WWD, Jones hints that there will be more to come. “This is almost like a taste, and then we get into bigger collections,” he said of the partnership with Hamilton. And to that, we’ll just have to wait and see what comes next, because this collection, in essence, is quite a game-changer for a house like Dior.

How to create and use no-code SharePoint Copilot Agents

Some of us wait eagerly for new features to appear in our tech. Be it a mobile phone, tv or any of Microsoft 365 environments we use. The last one is getting new features at amazing speed – faster than ever. And we know what is getting the most love at Microsoft at the moment: Microsoft 365 Copilot, other Copilots and everything related to Copilot. These SharePoint Copilot Agents were announced at Build 2024, and half a year after that they started to appear in tenants. These agents will be possible to be attached to Teams conversations, shared with links and later used as agents inside the Copilot. Users can have a conversation with AI about contents the agent has – for example project management manuals, project documentation, product information, employee handbook, it guidance, and so on. Combined with easy ways to attach agents to the conversation in chats and channels, this will be a nice step forward bringing AI to the collaboration – to the real work.

Let’s take a look how you can create and use them in action!

Create agents in multiple ways From a document library From a folder From the site home Do I always need to create a site agent? Are there more places where to create these no-code SharePoint Copilot agents? Talking with agents (= using agents ) Sharing agents Editing agents Deleting agents Conclusion and what’s next

Create agents in multiple ways

You don’t need any coding skills to create these agents (or bots, or Copilot extensions – as they were called before) in SharePoint. If you have create/editing permissions on the site & document library, just select the content and click Create Agent from a menu. There are multiple ways to do this:

From a document library

This is something I can see being used quite often. We want to select some files and folders and create a “knowledge bot” our of this information. In this case I use demo materials to create one directly in the SharePoint document library by selecting content and then clicking Create a Copilot agent.

After this, the agent is ready. Done. Just like that.

It automatically gets a suitable name and logo (the site logo). I can go on and try or edit it.

Tip: You can also click Create a Copilot agent without selecting any file or folder, while you are at Document library.

This way agent is using automatically the current document library as the content source.

Let’s continue with editing the Documents agent we created first.

Editing the agent opens a dialogue, where I can edit name, icon, description and test the agent.

There is also an upcoming option to go to the next level by adding advanced customizations in Copilot Studio – like making these connected to more data sources and adding conversational workflows. This feature is not available yet.

There are also tabs for editing Sources and Behavior.

In Sources it is possible to manage contents (adding and removing contents) or adding additional SharePoint sites for agent’s knowledge sources.

When you want to add new document libraries, folders or files , it opens a dialogue for selecting content:

If there are more Document libraries in the site, it is possible to include content from any of them. At the moment it is possible to select only document -type libraries, so site pages can’t be included in the agent’s knowledge.

It is not possible to switch to other sites to add content. For that you need to add links to other SharePoint sites in the Sources tab.

In the final tab Behavior it is possible to set agent’s welcome message, starter prompts and instructions (=system prompt). Using Copilot Studio, it is possible to take conversation flows to next level.

Editing any of these can be tested immediately and saved when you are ready.

Where is this agent stored? In the same library and folder where you clicked Create a Copilot agent!

The agent can be found as .copilot named file, that can be shared with others. And if you click on the agent, it will open it to the side panel automatically.

From a folder

Another case to create one, would be to navigate to a folder and select key files from there (perhaps only relevant product information documents) when creating an agent.

This isn’t any different from the previous one. Why I added this to the article? So you can see it is possible to select Words, PowerPoints and Excels as the content source.

And just like before, the .copilot file is stored in the folder where you created the agent.

I created a Loop component in team channel and edited the Launch agent and added a Loop component to it as the source. I was happy to see that all documents I have in sources work. Word-documents ✅, PowerPoints ✅, Excel ✅ and Loop ✅

From the site home

When you open the site home page, you can start agent creation from there as well. Just click the +New menu and select Copilot agent.

Now you have an agent, that includes the whole site.

There is a slight difference when defining content sources:

You can select the entire site or change to the mode where you add document libraries, folders and files, like we did before. When the whole site is selected, agent uses also site pages in the content source.

When creating a Copilot agent from the site home, the agent is stored in Site Assets to Copilots-folder, instead of a document library.

Do I always need to create a site agent?

Simple answer: no. All sites will have a Copilot agent pre-created, and it can answer questions related to contents of the site. You can find it by opening Copilot from the top to the side panel and your site Agent is there by default. From the same location you can switch to other site agents.

Are there more places where to create these no-code SharePoint Copilot agents?

Yes, there are! When you open the Copilot to the site (at the top of the page) you can create one from Copilot as well. In the previous chapter ( Do I always need to create a site agent? ) we just opened the Copilot to the site. From that one open the Copilot agent dropdown, and choose to create a new one.

And it creates a new agent that contains Documents library as the source.

This gets saved to the Document library root, just like our first test agent.

Talking with agents (= using agents )

How can we use these agents? Click Copilot logo at top navigation to open the side panel Copilot. From the drop down you can select the agent you want to use.

Other option is to just click on the agent in the document library, and it will be opened to the side panel.

We can also delete the conversation history from the same dropdown dialogue. When we have selected the agent, we just ask questions or have conversation with it.

Now we can also see the chat history in the dropdown.

What I found quite useful, is that I see all chats in the history – despite which agent was used. Selecting a chat from the history allows to continue the conversation – and the right agent is automatically selected alongside the chat.

It is great to have agents on the site, but the real deal comes when it is possible to share agents to others. That can be done two ways:

Share from the document library using share-icon or any of other share-features we use with files normally.

Or open the agent dropdown in Copilot and select share from there.

Fun fact: you can’t share the pre-created site level agent at all (there is no … menu and thus no share ). If you create your own site-level agent, you can share that✅.

After getting a link to the agent, you can share it in Teams messages or channels or other ways (like.. email). It is possible to open this link in a web browser for a full page view.

And if I have enough permissions, it is possible to edit the agent even from this view.

At this point agents don’t work in Teams chats nor channels nor in Outlook. There are currently only two ways to use SharePoint Copilot agents: open the link to the browser or navigate to the site and use the agent there.

Fun fact: you can attach extra files to the agent conversation, just like you do when using BizChat. It is possible to reference Files and People.

This opens even more use cases for agents, as you can combine other files to the context – and even analyze/summarize Excel-files. I didn’t see any Loop-files in the files list, so these seem to be limited to Word, PowerPoint, Excel and at least PDF. This opens the use case to compare a vendor information to the baseline what agent contents store.

Editing agents

Editing agent is not done via the stored file, but through the site side-panel Copilot. Select the agent from the drop-down and click three dots (…) menu on the right. There is Share and Edit.

Editing doesn’t differ from editing a newly created agent.

Deleting agents

Deleting is another easy task: just delete the .copilot file! After a browser refresh or two it disappears automatically from the site Copilot agents list.

Conclusion and what’s next

SharePoint Copilot Agents are a fantastic next step on the Copilot journey. Bringing AI to SharePoint sites and having a conversation about site contents is way better than searching for information: with this you can ask for the finalized / styled result that you can just copy-paste to your needs. We can also share these agents very easily to others. Just like sharing files.

Users who use these agents are required to have Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

SharePoint Copilot Agents are still work-in-progress. Until we get AtMentions in Teams the use is limited to the site and opening the agent in web browser. This is not ideal considering the Flow of Work, but it is a start. It has never been easier to create bo…agents to Microsoft 365.

What I was happy to see, is that how well it reads Excel and Loop files. Thinking all documents we have in our sites, this is a great addition. I didn’t test OneNote and PDFs, but I am quite sure these work as well.

SharePoint Copilot Agents will be extremely useful as simple AI buddies full of knowledge, but when Advanced editing capabilities become available it opens much more new possibilities to extend capabilities and add process flows. Today, this is the easiest way to create knowledge agents.

As it is extremely easy to create new agents to match even smaller needs, we will be seeing AI alongside people in chats, channels and emails in the near future. Think about asking about product information, maintenance plans, project plan, or guidelines during and in your conversation. The AI will be there. I can easily see that there will be agents even covering a single meeting content, making it faster and easier to get information from the content source. In the flow of work, without switching to another app.

The Future is Full of Agents!

Alyson Hannigan, Husband Wear Taylor Swift-Themed Costumes

Alyson Hannigan Unique Nicole/FilmMagic

Alyson Hannigan and husband Alexis Denisof are proving they’re total Swifties with their Halloween costumes.

The How I Met Your Mother alum, 50, and Denisof, 58, paid homage to Taylor Swift‘s hit song “So High School” in photos posted via Instagram on Thursday, October 31. The song – which is featured on her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department – is rumored to be about boyfriend Travis Kelce.

“Swifties get me,” Hannigan captioned the snaps, which featured her dressed as a football and Denisof dressed as Aristotle. The clever costumes reference the lyrics, “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle.”

While fans went wild for the couple’s costume in the comments section of the post, many admitted they couldn’t quite figure out what the longtime couple were dressed as.

“This took me a bit 😂 I was like football and Jesus?” wrote one follower, while another said: “This is AMAZING!”

A separate social media user pointed out another sneaky parallel in the pair’s costume choice, writing, “The American Pie reference in this song…”

(Swift, 34, sings about the iconic coming-of-age movie in the chorus of the song: “I’m watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night / Your friends are around, so be quiet.” Hannigan famously starred in the original 1999 film and other installments in the franchise.)

Though Swift is not performing on her Eras Tour on Halloween, the 14-time Grammy winner is set to perform three shows at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, starting Friday, November 1 through November 3. She will then have a nearly two-week break before kicking off the international dates of the final leg of her tour in Toronto, with her last show wrapping up in Vancouver on Sunday, December 8.

Multiple sources exclusively told Us Weekly in September that once Swift’s tour is finished, she’s ready to step into the next chapter with Kelce, 35, whom she started dating in the summer of 2023.

“Taylor and Travis are very committed and serious about their future,” an insider told Us. “Taylor is ready for the next era of her life. She knows it will be special.”

A second source added, “They’ve built a lot of trust. They both knew what they signed up for and navigated it well. They’re in love and don’t care what others think.”

Meanwhile, Kelce and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs will continue their bid for their third consecutive Super Bowl championship when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday, November 4. The Chiefs are currently undefeated, boasting an impressive seven-game win streak in the 2024-2025 season.

W-Coin Airdrop: How to Maximize Rewards

Arts

November 1, 2024

W-Coin is a unique Telegram “tap-to-earn” gaming experience with over 13 million users and is about to have an airdrop. With an airdrop coming up it’s time to learn about W-Coin, how to participate and how to maximize gains.

W Coin Airdrop Preparation

Airdrop is a popular way for blockchain projects to distribute tokens, to reward loyal users and to bring in new users. Here’s how to prepare for W-Coin airdrop:

Create a W Coin Account: To participate in W-Coin airdrop, users need to create an account through W-Coin Telegram bot. As a tap-to-earn game, users earn tokens by tapping on a virtual coin within the Telegram app. The game has additional ways to boost rewards such as staking, referral program and in-game boosts which has made it very popular.

Airdrop Eligibility: W-Coin airdrop eligibility criteria is designed to reward active users who are part of the ecosystem. To qualify, users need to verify their account and connect a TON wallet which allows for secure and transparent management of their tokens.

Only wallets connected at the time of the snapshot which captures user data will be eligible. So make sure to connect your wallet before the snapshot date. And being active in the ecosystem such as participating in the game or community voting may increase your eligibility.

How to Maximize Your Gains

Once eligible, users can do more to earn more and get the most out of W-Coin airdrop. Here are the strategies:

Staking for More Rewards: W-Coin has a staking system where users can lock up their W-Coins to earn more. Depending on the staking period – 3 days, 7 days or 14 days – users can earn staking interest and increase their token balance without any extra effort. By staking W-Coins to these terms, users can earn incremental income and staking is a good option for those who want to maximize rewards.

Boosts and Multipliers: W-Coin has in-game boosts and multipliers to increase earnings. Auto-tapping bots, multipliers and energy refills can speed up token accumulation. Strategically use these features to earn W-Coins faster and potentially more for the upcoming airdrop.

Complete Daily Tasks Consistently: Consistency is key with W Coin. Users can complete daily tasks through W-Coin Telegram bot to earn more tokens. Missing a single day can affect overall earnings so it’s good to make these tasks a part of your daily routine. By doing these tasks regularly users can optimize their token balance and increase their eligibility for rewards.

Learning from Previous Telegram Airdrops

As W-Coin gets ready to drop, past projects like Notcoin, Hamster Kombat and Citizen give us a glimpse into what makes a successful token launch in the Telegram gaming space. Notcoin’s meteoric rise to almost $3 billion in market cap and then decline in interest shows us that sustaining engagement beyond the hype is key. W-Coin’s solution is to have a snapshot system to ensure fair token distribution, rewarding players based on activity not just early access or balance.

Hamster Kombat showed us the dangers of over hyping users, as players got less than they expected and the token price dropped. Citizen on the other hand succeeded by building a strong community through gamified tasks, something W-Coin has taken to heart with transparency and player driven decisions. By learning from these projects W-Coin will set a new standard in the Telegram tap-to-earn space, giving immediate rewards and long term value to its growing community.

W-Coin Ecosystem

One of the main reasons why W-Coin is popular is its community. With over 13 million active users, the platform has a very engaged community that goes beyond casual users. The W-Coin team emphasizes transparency and security to build a trusted ecosystem for users to enjoy the benefits of blockchain gaming.

By being close to the community, W-Coin encourages users to participate in decision making and to be active in the ecosystem. Being active can be more than just fun – it can be rewarding as those who participate in W-Coin’s events and voting more often have a higher chance to qualify for upcoming airdrops.

Summary

W-Coin is a new way of blockchain gaming combining TON blockchain with a tap-to-earn model on Telegram. By allowing users to connect their TON wallet, W Coin provides a secure and transparent way to store and manage virtual currency earnings so users can track and maximize their gains.

But as with any project, the long term is yet to be seen, so users should stay tuned to official announcements and be active in the community to get updates. W-Coin ecosystem with its gaming and blockchain combination is a space for users to earn while exploring the TON network.

For those who want to get the most out of W-Coin airdrop, now is the time to join. By meeting the eligibility, maximizing rewards through staking and boosts and completing daily tasks consistently, users can get ready to benefit from W Coin’s offerings in the growing blockchain gaming space.

King Charles Is Still Ignoring Prince Harry: Report

King Charles Is Still Ignoring Prince Harry: Report

If you were hoping for a reconciliation between King Charles and Prince Harry, we’re afraid we have some bad news.

It seems that Charles is still not on speaking terms with his youngest son.

And there’s a feeling in Buckingham Palace that the monarch should continue to reject Harry’s peace offerings for the sake of his fragile health.

A King’s Private Pain

As you’re probably aware, Charles was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.

The severity and exact nature of his illness remain unknown.

That secrecy is not terribly surprising, of course, as Charles has dedicated his life to the embodiment of his family’s “never complain, never explain” motto.

But a stiff upper lip can only conceal so many dark mysteries. And Charles’ damaged relationship with Harry has become public knowledge.

King Charles Has Been Refusing Prince Harry’s Phone Calls, Source Claims

Now, it seems that the two situations are related in more ways than we realized.

According to a new report from Page Six, Charles still “has not responded to his estranged son Prince Harry’s phone calls and letters.”

And one insider says the cold shoulder is at least partially a result of advice from medical experts who have cautioned the king to keep his “stress levels down.”

“I know people keep saying, ‘Why doesn’t he see Harry when he is in town? Why can’t they patch things up?’” royal biographer Robert Hardman tells Fox News.

“But right now, there is a sense that we’ve just got to keep the king’s stress levels down. We don’t want him to have extra things to worry about. Let’s get through this. There is a sense that now is probably not the time.”

A Complex Situation

Hardman goes on to claim that the situation is not as simple as Charles merely offering his forgiveness.

Due to claims made in Harry’s memoir and elsewhere an elaborate process of atonement and reconciliation will need to take place.

“If you listen to what Harry has said in his TV series, in his book, in interviews — there’s a lot to unpack,”

Hardman says Charles still has “a lot of things he wants to get sorted out.”

“Right now, there’s a sense that it’s not the time. But I’m sure the king would like to normalize things,” he added.

If there’s any truth to these rumors, then perhaps Charles will be open to a reconciliation once he’s completed treatment.

Of course, if Willam still wants Harry banned, then Charles’ hands might be tied.

Even a king can only do so much when it comes to family disputes.

1. EastEnders spoilers: Bianca and Reiss clash

Things heat up as Reiss finally arrives home at No.25. He’s been gone a while, and Bianca’s anger has been stewing. Is he ready to face up to her?

He is greeted by Bianca, who is ready to wear him down for a confession.

Things get even worse for him when excited Teddy reveals that his PI friend has CCTV from a warehouse near Debbie’s care home. Could this be the evidence the police need?

Bianca demands to come to see the footage, but Reiss manages to give her the slip and heads to the warehouse with Teddy and watches the footage alone. He’s stunned by what he sees and sneaks out with the flash drive, as angry Teddy tells Bianca that Reiss did a runner.

Storming over to No.25, Bianca bangs on the door, demanding answers from Reiss. He does not answer, and instead locks himself in the house and cowers from Bianca’s loud shouts.

Nothing can stop a determined Bianca and she corners him at the café with Martin and demands answers. Things aren’t sure to go well, however, Bianca is given fresh hope when Teddy hands her the other copy of the footage.

At The Vic, Reiss tells a sneaky lie to Teddy prompting Teddy to admit Bianca has another copy and is about to watch it. Reiss races to No.25, but will he get there in time?

Reiss and Bianca are set to have a huge Bonfire Night showdown, which has huge consequences for them both… is it time to free Sonia?

2. EastEnders spoilers: Kat’s social battle

Love could be in the air for Kat and Alfie, despite their relentless battle with social services – which are still in full swing.

Kat is nervous ahead of her latest meeting about Tommy, and she continues to blank Stacey and Jean out of anger. Alfie, however, wants to get things back on track. He begs Stacey to call a truce and tells a fib to get Kat to meet the Slaters at The Vic.

When she arrives, Kat is furious to have been tricked, but Alfie gives a truly impassioned Moon-speech, and they finally reconcile.

After Kat tells Alfie she’s grateful, Freddie notes how insane their chemistry is, and Alfie admits he still has feelings for Kat.

At the social services meeting, Kat is devastated by how cold Tommy is towards her and fears they’ll never get their boy back. But the social worker is positive. Alfie even suggests they want him back for Christmas, and shares a moment with Tommy.

The meeting ends positively and back at the flat, grateful Kat surprises Alfie with a kiss. A bit bamboozled, Kat goes to get Stacey’s take on the confusing situation between her and Alfie, while he seeks counsel from Ian and Freddie (as usual).

Could they be getting back together?

After a stay with his mum, Barney is back and makes it clear he’s still annoyed with Teddy and Harry. Feeling sad, Teddy makes a plan on how to win Barney around and make him proud to be a Mitchell.

Teddy reveals to Harry that he intends to buy Peggy’s and become a respectable Walford businessman, he hopes this will impress Barney. A nightclub is the way to a 15 year old’s heart, after all…

But he thinks there’s something more and he tasks Harry with finding out what went on when Barney visited their mum.

But Harry is too heavy-handed as usual, and leaves Barney even more isolated and Teddy in despair. They need a united front in the midst of their family battle.

EastEnders spoilers: 4. Harry tricks Jack

Harry is also preoccupied with his latest tirade – against Jack Branning.

Penny is hurt by Jack’s dismissive reaction to the news she’s received her court summons due to the club crush. In response, she asks Harry to help her punish him by turning up the pressure on her dad.

Harry steps up to the task and tells Jack he’s got a job for him. Although Jack angrily declines, Harry reminds him that if he doesn’t collect a stolen motor as instructed, he’ll destroy Jack’s career and put him behind bars.

However, Jack is in a dire situation as he realises that the dodgy job clashes with Amy’s physio appointment.

He decides to be a doting father (for once) and prioritise Amy, but luckily makes it back just in time to do the car job.

Lurking nearby, Harry takes photos of Jack picking up the dodgy motor. Could this be the end of Jack’s career?

He faces danger when back on the Square. Jack is distracted by a text from Harry. He then drives into the back of Reiss’ car, causing damage to the stolen motor…
