Why Friday, June 13, 2025 is so special
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Every Friday the 13th comes with its own list of crazy facts and figures. Some people think it is an unlucky day. Others associate it with the popular horror movie franchise. No matter what you think of the day, Friday, June 13, 2025, is special for another reason: it is the only Friday the 13th this year. Most years have at least 2 Friday the 13ths. A year that has only one happens once every 400 years or so. That is due to the Gregorian calendar, which has a repeating cycle of 400 years. Over that period of time, there are 171 years with exactly one Friday the 13th, 170 years with two and 59 years with three. Another fun Gregorian calendar/Friday the 13th fact: although there is always at least one Friday the 13th per calendar year, it can be as long as 14 months between two Friday the 13ths. And if you're wondering why Friday the 13 is known as an unlucky day, it traces back to Scandinavian gods. An old tale says the god of mischief disrupted a dinner party of 12 other god. Of course, there are those pesky movies too. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Meet the first Mrs. Telugu USA from Baton Rouge
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First)— Over 200 people applied, 41 finalists were selected, but one Baton Rouge woman walked away with the Mrs. Telugu USA crown. Dr. Thirumalini Dasari, who practices rheumatology and obesity medicine, is the face of the Telugu American community, one of the fastest-growing southeastern communities in the United States, with 1.2 to 1.5 million people. 'We Telugu people are contributing to the U.S. both intellectually, economically, socially, and culturally, making a mark on the global platform,' said Dasari. In May, Dasari participated in the first Telugu pageant held in Dallas, Texas. She said over 500 people were in attendance to witness history. Dasari, who also hosted Miss World in India, said she's been competing since she was a child. Although each pageant is unique, she walks about with something different. The national winner said she spent eight months preparing for this moment. 'It was history… I'm your pilot queen from Baton Rouge, Louisiana,' said Dasari. The Mrs. Telugu crown itself represents more than a victory; Dasari said it's a testament to strength, culture, and timeless elegance. This crown of heritage was designed in South America, replicating other pageant crowns like Miss Universe. 'Pageantry has been a cornerstone of grace and entertainment… to show women's confidence and capabilities, and that's something that I've learned through the journey of my own pageantry. I think that's a great thing to happen so that we as women can have a voice,' said Dasari. Now that Dasari wears the prestigious crown, her work doesn't end on stage. Now she plans to continue her work as a cultural ambassador with plans to partner with the American Heart Association, the Obesity Medicine Association and other groups to bring awareness to chronic diseases among other projects. 'I would like to put forward a project called 'Cultural Sustainability,' where I'm bringing the arts from India and showing it to the global platform, the craftsmanship,' said Dasari.
