RedLeaf.Today Launches a New Era of Blockchain Innovation — Built for Everyone
RedLeaf.Today Launches a New Era of Blockchain Innovation — Built for Everyone
Toronto, Canada — In a world that’s moving faster than ever, RedLeaf.today is stepping up to help people not just keep up—but lead the change. The Canadian technology company has officially launched its next-generation blockchain platform, built around one powerful belief: that innovation should be transparent, inclusive, and accessible to all.
With this milestone, RedLeaf.today is introducing a global ecosystem powered by USDT (BEP20) smart contracts—a digital infrastructure that enables real-time, secure, and decentralized interactions. The platform aims to bridge the gap between people and technology, helping creators, innovators, and communities across 150+ countries come together to build, collaborate, and make a real impact.
But RedLeaf.today isn’t just about smart contracts or virtual tools. It’s about bringing humanity back to technology.

From Humble Roots to Global Vision
RedLeaf journey began in 2022, starting as a fiat-based platform focused on connecting causes and communities. Even then, the goal was simple: make it easier for ideas to grow by removing the barriers that hold them back. At the time, users could launch their projects using traditional systems and payment gateways.
But as the platform gained momentum, the founders began to ask a deeper question: What if the same people-first experience could be scaled globally, with even greater transparency and automation—without losing the soul of community-building?
In 2025, that vision became reality.
The company transitioned into a blockchain-native platform, powered by USDT (BEP20) and guided by a powerful new partnership with Maple Corporation, a well-established operations firm founded in 2015. Maple brought operational expertise, infrastructure scale, and deep industry insight—allowing RedLeaf.today to grow fast while staying true to its values.

A Platform Where Tech Works for You
At its core, RedLeaf.today uses smart contracts, which are digital agreements that automatically execute when conditions are met. But for the average user, the experience is beautifully simple:
No middlemen: Everything runs automatically. No delays, no paperwork, no hidden fees.
Global reach: Whether you’re in Lagos, London, or Lahore—you can use RedLeaf.today with just a smartphone.
Secure & transparent: Every transaction is recorded on the blockchain, making it visible, verifiable, and tamper-proof.
By simplifying what used to be complex processes, the platform creates more room for people to focus on what really matters—bringing their ideas to life, finding supporters, and making a difference.
“We built RedLeaf.today to be more than just another tech product. It’s a place where ideas meet execution, and where people are at the heart of everything we do,” says Mike Bennett, CEO of RedLeaf.today.

What Makes RedLeaf.today Different?
In an increasingly crowded digital landscape, RedLeaf.today stands out by combining cutting-edge blockchain technology with a deep sense of purpose and inclusivity.
The company’s ethos is simple: create technology that empowers people, not just systems.
And that philosophy is reflected in its expanding ecosystem—a suite of tools and experiences designed to help people build, engage, and grow on their own terms.

The RedLeaf.today Ecosystem — What’s Coming Next
The launch of the core platform is just the beginning. The company has laid out a robust roadmap that showcases its ambition to lead in blockchain, AI, gaming, and the metaverse.
Here’s a look at the upcoming features and experiences users can expect:

1. AI-Powered Project Validator (Launching Q3 2025)
This intelligent system will help users evaluate the quality and authenticity of digital projects before they engage. By scoring initiatives based on factors like risk, legitimacy, and potential impact, it acts as a built-in advisor—giving users confidence in their decisions.
Whether you’re a tech-savvy investor or someone just exploring the space, the validator simplifies complex analysis into understandable insights.

2. Tokenized Launchpad (Launching Q4 2025)
RedLeaf.today will soon allow creators to issue their own digital tokens or NFTs (non-fungible tokens) to support their communities or initiatives.
These digital assets make it possible for supporters to hold a stake in the projects they believe in—adding traceability, credibility, and engagement to the ecosystem.

3. RedLeaf Metaverse (Launching H1 2026)
Imagine attending a pitch meeting, gallery, or brainstorming session—without ever leaving your home. The RedLeaf Metaverse will bring projects to life in immersive 3D virtual spaces.
Users can create avatars, walk through digital environments, present ideas, and collaborate with people from around the world in real time.
It’s about connection. It’s about presence. And it’s about levelling the playing field for everyone—regardless of geography.

4. Play-to-Earn Game Ecosystem (Launching H2 2026)
RedLeaf is diving into the gamification revolution with a Play-to-Earn ecosystem. The platform will host AI-driven games where users can earn tokens just by playing and participating.
Unlike traditional gaming, where time is spent without return, these games reward engagement—turning fun into value while also supporting broader community initiatives.

5. Global Impact Dashboard (Launching Late 2026)
How do you know if a project is really making a difference?
RedLeaf.today’s upcoming Impact Dashboard will answer that question, giving users a visual, data-driven way to track social, environmental, and economic outcomes.
Transparency won’t just apply to transactions—it will extend to results.
“Tech should make us feel more in control—not more confused. Everything we build at RedLeaf is meant to empower people, no matter where they are or what they know about blockchain,” says Sarah Howard, COO at Maple Corporation.

The People Behind the Platform
ReLeaf’s leadership team blends innovation with integrity. With tech veterans, community builders, and operational experts working side-by-side, the company is positioned not just to grow—but to lead responsibly.
More importantly, the platform’s growth is being shaped by its users. RedLeaf.today runs on a community governance model, where users can vote on platform updates and improvements using DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) mechanisms. It’s a living, breathing digital space—shaped by the very people it serves.

About RedLeaf.today
Headquartered in Canada, RedLeaf.today is a decentralized digital platform dedicated to building trust through technology. With tools powered by smart contracts, blockchain, and AI, RedLeaf empowers people and communities across the globe to collaborate, innovate, and thrive.
With its commitment to transparency, security, and inclusion, RedLeaf.today is not just launching a product—it’s launching a movement toward a better, more connected future.

  *The Hidden Price of Convenience: How Quick Meals Are Quietly Raising Your Blood Pressure* 
Health

 Dr Satrajit Samanta , Consultant, Interventional Cardiologist, Narayana Hospital, Barasat.


In today’s busy world, convenience foods have become a trusted ally. Ready-to-eat meals, 
frozen dinners, packaged snacks, and fast-food options are designed to fit into our fast-paced lives. But behind their appeal lies a hidden threat, excessive sodium, which is a major driver of 
hypertension, or high blood pressure. Hypertension is often called the ‘silent killer’ because it can develop without warning signs, quietly
damaging the heart, brain and kidneys. What many people do not realise is the extent to which convenience foods contribute to this growing health issue.Manufacturers pack processed foods with large amounts of sodium to enhance flavour, preserve freshness and extend shelf life. While salt makes these foods taste good and seem 
more satisfying, it comes at a serious cost to our health. More than 70 per cent of the sodium.we consume is not from the salt we sprinkle on our meals, it is already hidden inside the foods we buy. This means even those who think they are eating ‘normally’ may unknowingly consume 
two or three times above the recommended daily limit of sodium, setting the stage for high blood pressure to develop.
How Sodium Quietly Raises Blood Pressure Excessive sodium intake causes the body to retain water, which increases the volume of blood flowing through blood vessels. This added volume puts extra strain on the heart and arteries, forcing them to work harder and harder. Over time, the walls of the blood vessels stiffen and narrow, leading to persistently high blood pressure. Left unchecked, hypertension increases the 
risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and other serious conditions. What's alarming is that many people may be undermining their health without any clear symptoms, one salty meal 
at a time.
Alarmingly, sodium often hides where we least expect it to. Foods like breads, cereals, canned vegetables, deli meats, and even some so-called ‘health foods’ can be packed with sodium, even if they don’t taste particularly salty. This stealthy presence makes it even harder for individuals to gauge how much sodium they are consuming.
Reclaiming Control Over Your Plate.The good news is that small, conscious changes can have a powerful impact on our health. 
Choosing fresh fruits, vegetables, and minimally processed foods over packaged meals helps 
limit sodium intake naturally. Cooking meals at home whenever possible gives you full control over what goes into your food. Learning to read nutrition labels can open your eyes to hidden sodium content, while using herbs, spices, lemon, or vinegar can bring out natural flavours.
without relying on salt. Even when dining out, small choices, like asking for dressings and 
sauces on the side or opting for grilled instead of fried items, can make a big difference.
Hypertension does not develop overnight. It is the result of years of small, repeated exposure to 
excess sodium and other lifestyle risks. But just as it builds gradually, it can also be prevented, or even reversed, through steady, mindful changes. Convenience has its place in modern life, but it should not come at the cost of our long-term health. By making informed choices today, 
you can protect your blood pressure and your heart for years to come.
Convenience foods offer short-term ease, but when it comes to your health, they may carry a hidden, long-term cost. Choosing fresh, wholesome options more often isn't about sacrificing convenience; it's about valuing your life and your future just as much as your time.

SAMVAAD From ideas to impact: A Tapestry of Expression, Healing, and Mental Resilience Unfolds at IIC New Delhi
 

New Delhi | June 14, 2025 In a compelling evening of dialogue, reflection, and healing, SAMVAAD: From Ideas to Impact returned with its second edition at India International Centre, New Delhi, carrying forward its powerful mission “Mental Health Matters: Navigating Emotions in a Fast-Moving World.”
Organized by Ewisdomsphere, and led by curator Saumya D Tewari, this SAMVAAD edition created a sanctuary for meaningful, stigma-free conversations around emotional burnout, trauma, grief, mental well-being and cybersecurity in the modern Indian context.
Reflections That Stirred the Soul- Sustainability 
The evening opened with a heartfelt invocation by Poonam Rajput, upcycling artist and sustainable art coach, she said “When we upcycle, cloth passed down through generations, we’re not just saving material—we’re safeguarding memories,” urging people to “upcycle their emotions too.”
Mohit Vashistha, Transformation and Life Coach, delivered the keynote address at SAMVAAD, leaving a deep impact on the audience. He illuminated the power of overcoming limiting beliefs, using SWOT analysis for personal growth, and reminded everyone that the ultimate goal of life is happiness—not achievement, but alignment with inner peace.
An insightful student-led video presentation by Aparna and Amritha, Research students from IIPR, Bangalore, titled “Good Intentions, Bad Logic: Why We Avoid Therapy,” captivated the audience. The duo unpacked how our daily thought errors and mental shortcuts—often done with the best intentions—end up delaying much-needed emotional care. 
Mansi Gupta, Life Coach (Industry- Emerson) grounded the audience in empathy and leadership, remarking, “Even leaders are human. Don’t just ask ‘How are you?’—ask ‘How do you feel today?’”
Dr. Suchitra Prasad, Happiness Coach & NLP expert, echoed that self-care is not selfishness, especially for women, and introduced tools like ‘disassociation’ and ‘shake-off’ to reframe overwhelming emotions. 



Jatin Sharma, legal expert, emphasized: “Make law your friend. Stop fearing mental health as a social stigma—the road is long, but healing through the system is possible.” 
Prof. Dinesh C. Sharma discussed how bio-musicology could revolutionize India’s public health frameworks. “Sound is medicine,” he stated. Dr. Priya Bhatnagar highlighted that emotional shutdown among leadership is rampant—often going unnoticed until burnout strikes.
On the expressive arts front, Simmi Kapoor explained how slow hand movements in embroidery and dance help people meet their own emotions “a rarity in today’s fast-paced world.”
Praveen Tiwari, master of hand-woven textiles, touched hearts with his simple truth: “Weaving fabric weaves peace.” His students, he shared, find joy and placement—not just in industry, but in life.
Dr. Shambhavi Das, music therapist, introduced the idea of music as a ‘safe inner space’, particularly for those resisting traditional therapy.
Voices from the community also resonated powerfully. Rajat and Radhika from Bezubaan Saathi Animal Trust shared how caring for distressed animals helps people reduce anxiety, fear, and isolation. Roopal Mishra’s legal research exposed how emotionally shut-down states often precede criminal behaviour—including among judges and legal professionals themselves. 
Aparna Jha, a student from DU, delivered a moving personal narrative on surviving anxiety and stigma: “Mental illness is not a choice. Seeking help is.”
Reflections that need our attention- Cybersecurity 
Bluewater IT Solutions, SAMVAAD’s official IT Channel Partner, emphasized how securing one’s digital space is integral to mental peace. Mr. Dheeraj Tewari, cybersecurity expert, represented Bluewater and said, “Your digital space is your mental space. Cybersecurity is self-care,” while announcing two key initiatives:
CYBER Connect – a support platform to combat cyber threats, through training programs
BW Tech Talks – an upcoming awareness portal that will simplify cyber knowledge for the common user, by industry leaders.
The session was further enriched by insights from Furious Warrior (OT Security), a valued training partner of SAMVAAD. Ms. Rachna Sharma, founder, shared a compelling message:
“Cybersecurity is not just about systems. It’s about safeguarding minds, families, and futures. In an era where phishing, impersonation, and online fraud are daily threats, cyber-awareness is emotional armour.”
The collaboration was a significant bridge between mental and digital health. With cyber fraud becoming a silent mental health crisis, the event was captivated by, Mr. Aseem as he said, “At NS3 Edu, we’re proud to support SAMVAAD’s vision—bridging technology, cybersecurity, and emotional well-being through integrated IT, AI, and OT solutions that empower safer, smarter communities.” As they deliver solutions in IT networking design, Threat intelligence tools for law enforcement, Multi -sector tech & business consulting.
The event was seamlessly covered by Manthan Rajput, SAMVAAD’s official production partner, whose creative lens and storytelling brought every moment of the confluence to life.
Abhinav Mishra from WARME Foundation shared holistic wellness tools like music, movement, and mindful conversations. The VOYCE initiative, through founder Anika Singh, shared powerful WHO-backed mental health videos, affirming that spreading awareness is the need of the hour to build a more emotionally informed society. 
Fitness Coach Siddharth, brought attention to the often-overlooked connection between physical fitness and mental well-being, stating that “a strong body nurtures a strong mind.” 
SAMVAAD also acknowledged the chief guest Dr. Debabrata Biswas, Founder of Mala Smriti Home, for turning his mother’s dream into a living legacy—an orphanage in Noida that offers not just shelter, but love, dignity, and hope. Having worked silently for over a decade, his service reminds that creating peace for others is the highest form of mental strength.
Hosted gracefully by Saumya Tewari, the evening concluded with a collective promise: “This is not just an event—it’s a movement. And we’re just getting started.”

*When Test swap turned into a big hit for Eden Gardens* 
Sports 

 



 Khabar kolkata sports Desk: India hosting reigning World Test Champions South Africa at the iconic Eden Gardens in the first Test on November 14 will be no less than an exciting and nail-biting match.

With South Africa winning the historic title after beating Australia in the final, the excitement here in Kolkata has already scaled sky-high with the mega match coming up just in five months’ time. 

Interestingly, this match between India and South Africa, was originally scheduled to take place in New Delhi on Nov 14 and Eden Gardens was scheduled to host West Indies in the second Test on October 10. 

But CAB President Snehasish Ganguly took the initiative to speak to BCCI, persuading the Apex Body of cricket to allow Eden Gardens host India vs South Africa in November.

Eventually, BCCI swapped Kolkata Eden Gardens’ and New Delhi Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium’s allocated Test matches against West Indies and South Africa respectively during India’s upcoming home season.

The Test swap finally turned out to be a mega hit for Eden Gardens with the news of South Africa clinching the World Test Championship.

*Asia’s oldest football tournament now in five states as Imphal makes a comeback* 
Sports 

 134th IndianOil Durand Cup 
 

Sports Desk:  Asia’s oldest football tournament, the IndianOil Durand Cup, will be back with its 134th Edition and for the first time in its storied history, be hosted in as many as five states with Manipur’s capital Imphal, making a comeback after a two-year gap. The Durand Cup Organising Committee also announced the dates for this year’s tournament to be between July 22- August 23, 2025.

Kokrajhar in Assam will extend their status as Durand Cup hosts for the third consecutive year while Jamshedpur in Jharkhand and Shillong in Meghalaya were added as hosts last year. The century-old tournament shifted its home base to Kolkata – the Mecca of Indian Football, and the capital of West Bengal, from Delhi back in 2019, and, will also continue to hold that status for a sixth consecutive edition.

Since its transition to the East, the Durand Cup has reinstated itself as the country’s premiere competition, growing from 16 teams to 24 teams, including participation from all the Indian Super League (ISL) teams.

Organised by the Eastern Command of the Indian Army on behalf of the three Services, the tournament is unique in the sense that it pits Services teams against India’s best football clubs and over the past couple of editions, has also seen foreign participation with Army teams from neighbouring nations.

The Indian Army’s stated vision of expanding the reach of the historic tournament throughout the East and North-East is also now fully reflected with the choice of host cities this year.

A total of six venues, two in Kolkata (Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan and Kishore Bharti Krirangan) and one each in Imphal (Khuman Lampak stadium), Ranchi (Morhabadi Stadium) or Jamshedpur (JRD Tata Sports Complex), Shillong (Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium) and Kokrajhar (SAI Stadium) have been earmarked for the 134th IndianOil Durand Cup edition.

North East United FC are the defending champions having overcome maximum title-holders Mohun Bagan, in a thrilling final last year to get their historic maiden title.

 *Mumbai City FC brush past Chennaiyin in Kalinga Super Cup* 
Sports 




 BHUBANESWAR : Lallianzuala Chhangte delivered a captain’s performance with a dazzling brace as Mumbai City FC breezed past Chennaiyin FC 4-0 in a dominant Round of 16 encounter of the 2025 Kalinga Super Cup at the Kalinga Stadium on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. The first half ended 1-0.

Nikolaos Karelis (43’) scored the first goal for Mumbai City FC at the stroke of half time before Lallianzuala Chhangte (64’, 86’) stole the show with his two goals. Substitute Bipin Singh (90’) capped off the win with a strike in the last minute. 

Mumbai City FC, still smarting from a heavy 0-5 defeat against Bengaluru FC in the ISL knockout rounds, responded in emphatic fashion to book their place in the Kalinga Super Cup quarter-finals. Their opponents, Chennaiyin FC, had finished a disappointing 11th in the ISL, and their Super Cup journey came to an end after another underwhelming performance.

From the opening whistle, Mumbai City were on the front foot. The attacking trio of Chhangte, Karelis, and Jorge Ortiz looked sharp, with intricate passing and excellent movement that repeatedly exposed gaps in the Chennaiyin backline.

Chhangte nearly opened the scoring early on when he latched onto a defensive error, glided past his marker and unleashed a shot towards the far post only to see it come back off the woodwork.

Chennaiyin struggled to settle into the game and were denied what looked like a potential penalty after Daniel Chima Chukwu was brought down in the box by Vikram Pratap Singh, but the referee waved play on.

The breakthrough finally came in the 43rd minute. A half-cleared corner fell kindly to Hitesh Sharma, who lofted a teasing ball into the box. Chennaiyin goalkeeper Mohammad Nawaz was a tad late in coming out to affect a save and Nikolaos Karelis made no mistake, nodding home from close range to put the Islanders ahead at the break.

After the interval, Mumbai City resumed their control. Ortiz and Chhangte combined beautifully to carve open chances, and the latter came close again before Chennaiyin nearly found an equaliser. Lukas Brambilla danced past Mumbai City goalkeeper TP Rehenesh and seemed destined to score, but Mehtab Singh’s goal-line clearance denied Chennaiyin a lifeline.

That moment proved to be the turning point. In the 64th minute, Ortiz once again danced past his marker and slipped Karelis in behind. The Greek forward’s effort across goal wasn’t the cleanest, but Chhangte was there at the far post to tap it into an open net and double Mumbai City’s lead.

Chhangte struck again in the 86th minute with a touch of class. Ortiz played a sublime outside-of-the-boot flick to send him through. The winger cut inside on his favoured left foot and curled a low shot past the goalkeeper to make it 3-0.

In the last minute of the game, Chhangte turned provider. A delicate scooped pass found Bipin Singh in the box, who brushed aside pressure from Mandar Rao Desai and calmly slotted home to complete the rout.

Lallianzuala Chhangte was presented the Kalinga Player of the Match award

RedLeaf.Today Launches a New Era of Blockchain Innovation — Built for Everyone
RedLeaf.Today Launches a New Era of Blockchain Innovation — Built for Everyone
Toronto, Canada — In a world that’s moving faster than ever, RedLeaf.today is stepping up to help people not just keep up—but lead the change. The Canadian technology company has officially launched its next-generation blockchain platform, built around one powerful belief: that innovation should be transparent, inclusive, and accessible to all.
With this milestone, RedLeaf.today is introducing a global ecosystem powered by USDT (BEP20) smart contracts—a digital infrastructure that enables real-time, secure, and decentralized interactions. The platform aims to bridge the gap between people and technology, helping creators, innovators, and communities across 150+ countries come together to build, collaborate, and make a real impact.
But RedLeaf.today isn’t just about smart contracts or virtual tools. It’s about bringing humanity back to technology.

From Humble Roots to Global Vision
RedLeaf journey began in 2022, starting as a fiat-based platform focused on connecting causes and communities. Even then, the goal was simple: make it easier for ideas to grow by removing the barriers that hold them back. At the time, users could launch their projects using traditional systems and payment gateways.
But as the platform gained momentum, the founders began to ask a deeper question: What if the same people-first experience could be scaled globally, with even greater transparency and automation—without losing the soul of community-building?
In 2025, that vision became reality.
The company transitioned into a blockchain-native platform, powered by USDT (BEP20) and guided by a powerful new partnership with Maple Corporation, a well-established operations firm founded in 2015. Maple brought operational expertise, infrastructure scale, and deep industry insight—allowing RedLeaf.today to grow fast while staying true to its values.

A Platform Where Tech Works for You
At its core, RedLeaf.today uses smart contracts, which are digital agreements that automatically execute when conditions are met. But for the average user, the experience is beautifully simple:
No middlemen: Everything runs automatically. No delays, no paperwork, no hidden fees.
Global reach: Whether you’re in Lagos, London, or Lahore—you can use RedLeaf.today with just a smartphone.
Secure & transparent: Every transaction is recorded on the blockchain, making it visible, verifiable, and tamper-proof.
By simplifying what used to be complex processes, the platform creates more room for people to focus on what really matters—bringing their ideas to life, finding supporters, and making a difference.
“We built RedLeaf.today to be more than just another tech product. It’s a place where ideas meet execution, and where people are at the heart of everything we do,” says Mike Bennett, CEO of RedLeaf.today.

What Makes RedLeaf.today Different?
In an increasingly crowded digital landscape, RedLeaf.today stands out by combining cutting-edge blockchain technology with a deep sense of purpose and inclusivity.
The company’s ethos is simple: create technology that empowers people, not just systems.
And that philosophy is reflected in its expanding ecosystem—a suite of tools and experiences designed to help people build, engage, and grow on their own terms.

The RedLeaf.today Ecosystem — What’s Coming Next
The launch of the core platform is just the beginning. The company has laid out a robust roadmap that showcases its ambition to lead in blockchain, AI, gaming, and the metaverse.
Here’s a look at the upcoming features and experiences users can expect:

1. AI-Powered Project Validator (Launching Q3 2025)
This intelligent system will help users evaluate the quality and authenticity of digital projects before they engage. By scoring initiatives based on factors like risk, legitimacy, and potential impact, it acts as a built-in advisor—giving users confidence in their decisions.
Whether you’re a tech-savvy investor or someone just exploring the space, the validator simplifies complex analysis into understandable insights.

2. Tokenized Launchpad (Launching Q4 2025)
RedLeaf.today will soon allow creators to issue their own digital tokens or NFTs (non-fungible tokens) to support their communities or initiatives.
These digital assets make it possible for supporters to hold a stake in the projects they believe in—adding traceability, credibility, and engagement to the ecosystem.

3. RedLeaf Metaverse (Launching H1 2026)
Imagine attending a pitch meeting, gallery, or brainstorming session—without ever leaving your home. The RedLeaf Metaverse will bring projects to life in immersive 3D virtual spaces.
Users can create avatars, walk through digital environments, present ideas, and collaborate with people from around the world in real time.
It’s about connection. It’s about presence. And it’s about levelling the playing field for everyone—regardless of geography.

4. Play-to-Earn Game Ecosystem (Launching H2 2026)
RedLeaf is diving into the gamification revolution with a Play-to-Earn ecosystem. The platform will host AI-driven games where users can earn tokens just by playing and participating.
Unlike traditional gaming, where time is spent without return, these games reward engagement—turning fun into value while also supporting broader community initiatives.

5. Global Impact Dashboard (Launching Late 2026)
How do you know if a project is really making a difference?
RedLeaf.today’s upcoming Impact Dashboard will answer that question, giving users a visual, data-driven way to track social, environmental, and economic outcomes.
Transparency won’t just apply to transactions—it will extend to results.
“Tech should make us feel more in control—not more confused. Everything we build at RedLeaf is meant to empower people, no matter where they are or what they know about blockchain,” says Sarah Howard, COO at Maple Corporation.

The People Behind the Platform
ReLeaf’s leadership team blends innovation with integrity. With tech veterans, community builders, and operational experts working side-by-side, the company is positioned not just to grow—but to lead responsibly.
More importantly, the platform’s growth is being shaped by its users. RedLeaf.today runs on a community governance model, where users can vote on platform updates and improvements using DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) mechanisms. It’s a living, breathing digital space—shaped by the very people it serves.

About RedLeaf.today
Headquartered in Canada, RedLeaf.today is a decentralized digital platform dedicated to building trust through technology. With tools powered by smart contracts, blockchain, and AI, RedLeaf empowers people and communities across the globe to collaborate, innovate, and thrive.
With its commitment to transparency, security, and inclusion, RedLeaf.today is not just launching a product—it’s launching a movement toward a better, more connected future.

  *The Hidden Price of Convenience: How Quick Meals Are Quietly Raising Your Blood Pressure* 
Health

 Dr Satrajit Samanta , Consultant, Interventional Cardiologist, Narayana Hospital, Barasat.


In today’s busy world, convenience foods have become a trusted ally. Ready-to-eat meals, 
frozen dinners, packaged snacks, and fast-food options are designed to fit into our fast-paced lives. But behind their appeal lies a hidden threat, excessive sodium, which is a major driver of 
hypertension, or high blood pressure. Hypertension is often called the ‘silent killer’ because it can develop without warning signs, quietly
damaging the heart, brain and kidneys. What many people do not realise is the extent to which convenience foods contribute to this growing health issue.Manufacturers pack processed foods with large amounts of sodium to enhance flavour, preserve freshness and extend shelf life. While salt makes these foods taste good and seem 
more satisfying, it comes at a serious cost to our health. More than 70 per cent of the sodium.we consume is not from the salt we sprinkle on our meals, it is already hidden inside the foods we buy. This means even those who think they are eating ‘normally’ may unknowingly consume 
two or three times above the recommended daily limit of sodium, setting the stage for high blood pressure to develop.
How Sodium Quietly Raises Blood Pressure Excessive sodium intake causes the body to retain water, which increases the volume of blood flowing through blood vessels. This added volume puts extra strain on the heart and arteries, forcing them to work harder and harder. Over time, the walls of the blood vessels stiffen and narrow, leading to persistently high blood pressure. Left unchecked, hypertension increases the 
risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and other serious conditions. What's alarming is that many people may be undermining their health without any clear symptoms, one salty meal 
at a time.
Alarmingly, sodium often hides where we least expect it to. Foods like breads, cereals, canned vegetables, deli meats, and even some so-called ‘health foods’ can be packed with sodium, even if they don’t taste particularly salty. This stealthy presence makes it even harder for individuals to gauge how much sodium they are consuming.
Reclaiming Control Over Your Plate.The good news is that small, conscious changes can have a powerful impact on our health. 
Choosing fresh fruits, vegetables, and minimally processed foods over packaged meals helps 
limit sodium intake naturally. Cooking meals at home whenever possible gives you full control over what goes into your food. Learning to read nutrition labels can open your eyes to hidden sodium content, while using herbs, spices, lemon, or vinegar can bring out natural flavours.
without relying on salt. Even when dining out, small choices, like asking for dressings and 
sauces on the side or opting for grilled instead of fried items, can make a big difference.
Hypertension does not develop overnight. It is the result of years of small, repeated exposure to 
excess sodium and other lifestyle risks. But just as it builds gradually, it can also be prevented, or even reversed, through steady, mindful changes. Convenience has its place in modern life, but it should not come at the cost of our long-term health. By making informed choices today, 
you can protect your blood pressure and your heart for years to come.
Convenience foods offer short-term ease, but when it comes to your health, they may carry a hidden, long-term cost. Choosing fresh, wholesome options more often isn't about sacrificing convenience; it's about valuing your life and your future just as much as your time.

SAMVAAD From ideas to impact: A Tapestry of Expression, Healing, and Mental Resilience Unfolds at IIC New Delhi
 

New Delhi | June 14, 2025 In a compelling evening of dialogue, reflection, and healing, SAMVAAD: From Ideas to Impact returned with its second edition at India International Centre, New Delhi, carrying forward its powerful mission “Mental Health Matters: Navigating Emotions in a Fast-Moving World.”
Organized by Ewisdomsphere, and led by curator Saumya D Tewari, this SAMVAAD edition created a sanctuary for meaningful, stigma-free conversations around emotional burnout, trauma, grief, mental well-being and cybersecurity in the modern Indian context.
Reflections That Stirred the Soul- Sustainability 
The evening opened with a heartfelt invocation by Poonam Rajput, upcycling artist and sustainable art coach, she said “When we upcycle, cloth passed down through generations, we’re not just saving material—we’re safeguarding memories,” urging people to “upcycle their emotions too.”
Mohit Vashistha, Transformation and Life Coach, delivered the keynote address at SAMVAAD, leaving a deep impact on the audience. He illuminated the power of overcoming limiting beliefs, using SWOT analysis for personal growth, and reminded everyone that the ultimate goal of life is happiness—not achievement, but alignment with inner peace.
An insightful student-led video presentation by Aparna and Amritha, Research students from IIPR, Bangalore, titled “Good Intentions, Bad Logic: Why We Avoid Therapy,” captivated the audience. The duo unpacked how our daily thought errors and mental shortcuts—often done with the best intentions—end up delaying much-needed emotional care. 
Mansi Gupta, Life Coach (Industry- Emerson) grounded the audience in empathy and leadership, remarking, “Even leaders are human. Don’t just ask ‘How are you?’—ask ‘How do you feel today?’”
Dr. Suchitra Prasad, Happiness Coach & NLP expert, echoed that self-care is not selfishness, especially for women, and introduced tools like ‘disassociation’ and ‘shake-off’ to reframe overwhelming emotions. 



Jatin Sharma, legal expert, emphasized: “Make law your friend. Stop fearing mental health as a social stigma—the road is long, but healing through the system is possible.” 
Prof. Dinesh C. Sharma discussed how bio-musicology could revolutionize India’s public health frameworks. “Sound is medicine,” he stated. Dr. Priya Bhatnagar highlighted that emotional shutdown among leadership is rampant—often going unnoticed until burnout strikes.
On the expressive arts front, Simmi Kapoor explained how slow hand movements in embroidery and dance help people meet their own emotions “a rarity in today’s fast-paced world.”
Praveen Tiwari, master of hand-woven textiles, touched hearts with his simple truth: “Weaving fabric weaves peace.” His students, he shared, find joy and placement—not just in industry, but in life.
Dr. Shambhavi Das, music therapist, introduced the idea of music as a ‘safe inner space’, particularly for those resisting traditional therapy.
Voices from the community also resonated powerfully. Rajat and Radhika from Bezubaan Saathi Animal Trust shared how caring for distressed animals helps people reduce anxiety, fear, and isolation. Roopal Mishra’s legal research exposed how emotionally shut-down states often precede criminal behaviour—including among judges and legal professionals themselves. 
Aparna Jha, a student from DU, delivered a moving personal narrative on surviving anxiety and stigma: “Mental illness is not a choice. Seeking help is.”
Reflections that need our attention- Cybersecurity 
Bluewater IT Solutions, SAMVAAD’s official IT Channel Partner, emphasized how securing one’s digital space is integral to mental peace. Mr. Dheeraj Tewari, cybersecurity expert, represented Bluewater and said, “Your digital space is your mental space. Cybersecurity is self-care,” while announcing two key initiatives:
CYBER Connect – a support platform to combat cyber threats, through training programs
BW Tech Talks – an upcoming awareness portal that will simplify cyber knowledge for the common user, by industry leaders.
The session was further enriched by insights from Furious Warrior (OT Security), a valued training partner of SAMVAAD. Ms. Rachna Sharma, founder, shared a compelling message:
“Cybersecurity is not just about systems. It’s about safeguarding minds, families, and futures. In an era where phishing, impersonation, and online fraud are daily threats, cyber-awareness is emotional armour.”
The collaboration was a significant bridge between mental and digital health. With cyber fraud becoming a silent mental health crisis, the event was captivated by, Mr. Aseem as he said, “At NS3 Edu, we’re proud to support SAMVAAD’s vision—bridging technology, cybersecurity, and emotional well-being through integrated IT, AI, and OT solutions that empower safer, smarter communities.” As they deliver solutions in IT networking design, Threat intelligence tools for law enforcement, Multi -sector tech & business consulting.
The event was seamlessly covered by Manthan Rajput, SAMVAAD’s official production partner, whose creative lens and storytelling brought every moment of the confluence to life.
Abhinav Mishra from WARME Foundation shared holistic wellness tools like music, movement, and mindful conversations. The VOYCE initiative, through founder Anika Singh, shared powerful WHO-backed mental health videos, affirming that spreading awareness is the need of the hour to build a more emotionally informed society. 
Fitness Coach Siddharth, brought attention to the often-overlooked connection between physical fitness and mental well-being, stating that “a strong body nurtures a strong mind.” 
SAMVAAD also acknowledged the chief guest Dr. Debabrata Biswas, Founder of Mala Smriti Home, for turning his mother’s dream into a living legacy—an orphanage in Noida that offers not just shelter, but love, dignity, and hope. Having worked silently for over a decade, his service reminds that creating peace for others is the highest form of mental strength.
Hosted gracefully by Saumya Tewari, the evening concluded with a collective promise: “This is not just an event—it’s a movement. And we’re just getting started.”

*When Test swap turned into a big hit for Eden Gardens* 
Sports 

 



 Khabar kolkata sports Desk: India hosting reigning World Test Champions South Africa at the iconic Eden Gardens in the first Test on November 14 will be no less than an exciting and nail-biting match.

With South Africa winning the historic title after beating Australia in the final, the excitement here in Kolkata has already scaled sky-high with the mega match coming up just in five months’ time. 

Interestingly, this match between India and South Africa, was originally scheduled to take place in New Delhi on Nov 14 and Eden Gardens was scheduled to host West Indies in the second Test on October 10. 

But CAB President Snehasish Ganguly took the initiative to speak to BCCI, persuading the Apex Body of cricket to allow Eden Gardens host India vs South Africa in November.

Eventually, BCCI swapped Kolkata Eden Gardens’ and New Delhi Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium’s allocated Test matches against West Indies and South Africa respectively during India’s upcoming home season.

The Test swap finally turned out to be a mega hit for Eden Gardens with the news of South Africa clinching the World Test Championship.

Sports 

 134th IndianOil Durand Cup 
 

Sports Desk:  Asia’s oldest football tournament, the IndianOil Durand Cup, will be back with its 134th Edition and for the first time in its storied history, be hosted in as many as five states with Manipur’s capital Imphal, making a comeback after a two-year gap. The Durand Cup Organising Committee also announced the dates for this year’s tournament to be between July 22- August 23, 2025.

Kokrajhar in Assam will extend their status as Durand Cup hosts for the third consecutive year while Jamshedpur in Jharkhand and Shillong in Meghalaya were added as hosts last year. The century-old tournament shifted its home base to Kolkata – the Mecca of Indian Football, and the capital of West Bengal, from Delhi back in 2019, and, will also continue to hold that status for a sixth consecutive edition.

Since its transition to the East, the Durand Cup has reinstated itself as the country’s premiere competition, growing from 16 teams to 24 teams, including participation from all the Indian Super League (ISL) teams.

Organised by the Eastern Command of the Indian Army on behalf of the three Services, the tournament is unique in the sense that it pits Services teams against India’s best football clubs and over the past couple of editions, has also seen foreign participation with Army teams from neighbouring nations.

The Indian Army’s stated vision of expanding the reach of the historic tournament throughout the East and North-East is also now fully reflected with the choice of host cities this year.

A total of six venues, two in Kolkata (Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan and Kishore Bharti Krirangan) and one each in Imphal (Khuman Lampak stadium), Ranchi (Morhabadi Stadium) or Jamshedpur (JRD Tata Sports Complex), Shillong (Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium) and Kokrajhar (SAI Stadium) have been earmarked for the 134th IndianOil Durand Cup edition.

North East United FC are the defending champions having overcome maximum title-holders Mohun Bagan, in a thrilling final last year to get their historic maiden title.

 *Mumbai City FC brush past Chennaiyin in Kalinga Super Cup* 
Sports 




 BHUBANESWAR : Lallianzuala Chhangte delivered a captain’s performance with a dazzling brace as Mumbai City FC breezed past Chennaiyin FC 4-0 in a dominant Round of 16 encounter of the 2025 Kalinga Super Cup at the Kalinga Stadium on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. The first half ended 1-0.

Nikolaos Karelis (43’) scored the first goal for Mumbai City FC at the stroke of half time before Lallianzuala Chhangte (64’, 86’) stole the show with his two goals. Substitute Bipin Singh (90’) capped off the win with a strike in the last minute. 

Mumbai City FC, still smarting from a heavy 0-5 defeat against Bengaluru FC in the ISL knockout rounds, responded in emphatic fashion to book their place in the Kalinga Super Cup quarter-finals. Their opponents, Chennaiyin FC, had finished a disappointing 11th in the ISL, and their Super Cup journey came to an end after another underwhelming performance.

From the opening whistle, Mumbai City were on the front foot. The attacking trio of Chhangte, Karelis, and Jorge Ortiz looked sharp, with intricate passing and excellent movement that repeatedly exposed gaps in the Chennaiyin backline.

Chhangte nearly opened the scoring early on when he latched onto a defensive error, glided past his marker and unleashed a shot towards the far post only to see it come back off the woodwork.

Chennaiyin struggled to settle into the game and were denied what looked like a potential penalty after Daniel Chima Chukwu was brought down in the box by Vikram Pratap Singh, but the referee waved play on.

The breakthrough finally came in the 43rd minute. A half-cleared corner fell kindly to Hitesh Sharma, who lofted a teasing ball into the box. Chennaiyin goalkeeper Mohammad Nawaz was a tad late in coming out to affect a save and Nikolaos Karelis made no mistake, nodding home from close range to put the Islanders ahead at the break.

After the interval, Mumbai City resumed their control. Ortiz and Chhangte combined beautifully to carve open chances, and the latter came close again before Chennaiyin nearly found an equaliser. Lukas Brambilla danced past Mumbai City goalkeeper TP Rehenesh and seemed destined to score, but Mehtab Singh’s goal-line clearance denied Chennaiyin a lifeline.

That moment proved to be the turning point. In the 64th minute, Ortiz once again danced past his marker and slipped Karelis in behind. The Greek forward’s effort across goal wasn’t the cleanest, but Chhangte was there at the far post to tap it into an open net and double Mumbai City’s lead.

Chhangte struck again in the 86th minute with a touch of class. Ortiz played a sublime outside-of-the-boot flick to send him through. The winger cut inside on his favoured left foot and curled a low shot past the goalkeeper to make it 3-0.

In the last minute of the game, Chhangte turned provider. A delicate scooped pass found Bipin Singh in the box, who brushed aside pressure from Mandar Rao Desai and calmly slotted home to complete the rout.

Lallianzuala Chhangte was presented the Kalinga Player of the Match award
