Having sex on an airplane is risky business. Not many are willing to try it, but those who do will earn themselves a place in the exclusive and infamous Mile-High club. It’s not an actual, physical club – it’s just slang for people who have had sex thousands of feet in the air. The stakes are high when trying to get frisky in a small enclosed space filled with other people and staff on the lookout for funny business. But maybe that’s all part of the fun. It’s illegal to get it on in your plane seat, but that doesn’t always stop people. In 1999, two passengers flying Dallas to Manchester stripped down and started going at it in the middle of business class. They were swiftly arrested. These days, rich folk choose to fly private to do as they wish without interruption, but plenty of others try it on commercial flights – by waiting until the lights go down on an overnight flight, or sneaking off into the bathroom. To save people the embarrassment of being caught … [Read more...] about Five people share their stories of having sex on a plane – the good, the bad, and the awkward

By Simon Jack Published 2 hours ago comments Comments Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Most Lloyds Bank customers have less than £500 of savings in their accounts, its chief executive said. Charlie Nunn said Lloyds had seen customers seeking debt advice jump up by a third in just the first six months of this year. Credit card spending on travel was up 300% on last year, but the majority of Lloyd's customers were worried about the cost of living, he said. It was possible for the UK to avoid the recession many are predicting, he said. It comes as UK households struggle with the soaring cost of food, energy bills and fuel as inflation rises at the fastest rate in 40 years. The head of the UK's biggest high street bank told the BBC: "80% of individuals and UK customers and families have less than £500 pounds worth of savings in their current … [Read more...] about Most only have £500 of savings says Lloyds boss

S ometime around 2010, about two-thirds of the way through his 13 years at the helm of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)—the world’s largest mental-health research institution—Tom Insel started speaking with unusual frankness about how both psychiatry and his own institute were failing to help the mentally ill. Insel, runner-trim, quietly alert, and constitutionally diplomatic, did not rant about this. It’s not in him. You won’t hear him trash-talk colleagues or critics. Listen to the audio version of this article: Feature stories, read aloud: download the Audm app for your iPhone. Yet within the bounds of his unbroken civility, Insel began voicing something between a regret and an indictment. In writings and public talks, he lamented the pharmaceutical industry’s failure to develop effective new drugs for depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia; academic psychiatry’s overly cozy relationship with Big Pharma; and the paucity of treatments produced by the … [Read more...] about The Smartphone Psychiatrist

M y reaction to O. J. Simpson’s arrest for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman was atypical. It was 1994 . I was a young black man attending a historically black university in the majority-black city of Washington, D.C., with zero sympathy for Simpson, zero understanding of the sympathy he elicited from my people, and zero appreciation for the defense team’s claim that Simpson had been targeted because he was black. O. J. Simpson wasn’t black. He came of age in the 1960s—the era of Muhammad Ali’s opposition to the Vietnam War and John Carlos and Tommie Smith’s black-power salute at the 1968 Olympics. But the O. J. Simpson I knew, and the one poignantly depicted this year in Ezra Edelman’s epic documentary, O.J.: Made in America , recognized only one struggle—the struggle to advance O. J. Simpson. When the activist Harry Edwards attempted to enlist Simpson in the Olympic boycott, Simpson rebuffed him and later claimed that organizers like … [Read more...] about What O. J. Simpson Means to Me

Large numbers of New Zealand children are entering school with lagging developmental health, but daily reading from infancy can improve outcomes for those most at risk, a new study suggests. Research published in the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand on Thursday found a quarter of children aged just over 4 were affected, with children from socio-economic disadvantage, in particular Māori and Pasifika children, the most vulnerable. Researchers said the findings underscored the need for “substantial investment in early childhood to reduce inequities”, as these inequities had a strong influence on health and education throughout life. The findings also strengthened the case for “transformative change to the Well Child Tamariki Ora programme, and substantial investment in the first 1000 days,” said University of Auckland researcher, Starship Children’s Health paediatrician Dr Jin Russell.
