Cleanser or face wash which is better

A SELF-PROCLAIMED sleep expert has claimed there’s a much better way to feel rested. The TikToker, known only as Robyn, said the eight-hour sleep routine is a “scam”. Experts at the Sleep Foundation have recommended adults should get between seven and nine hours of sleep every night. But, Robyn claimed the routine has been “ingrained" into society. She explained: “We didn’t use to abide by the eight-hour sleeping schedule. “We used to have two sleeps: they were called the first and second sleep. “Basically, you would rise at a dawn and do the most of your work or if not all of your work for the first half of the day.” Robyn explained that people would take their lunch break around noon before going for a nap. She said: “It’s just another regenerative period for your body to restore the energy you had used previously.” She said people would wake up around 4pm before continuing with the rest of their day.

A Scottish family who face being kicked out of Australia after moving their 10 years ago, are fighting to stay in the country and spending thousands of dollars in the process. Mark Green, a skilled electrician, his wife Kelly and their daughter Rebecca relocated to Adelaide in 2012 when a solar power firm offered to sponsor Mark's visa if he came and worked for them. He was given a three year visa and had planned to apply for permanent residency, but the firm went bust. Although Mark continued to get work he says the same thing happened to him seven times and each time he had to restart the family's application for residency. The Australian government have now said the family - who previously lived in Prestwick, Ayrshire must leave the country by August 10 while they reapply, Edinburgh Live reports. Mark said they are "absolutely gutted" at the prospect of being kicked out. "This is our home. Our lives for the last 10 years have been here.

Published 22 June Share close Share page Copy link About sharing A pregnant woman has recounted the "horrendous" conditions she endured as a modern slavery victim. Maros Tancos tricked the victim and numerous other vulnerable Slovaks into coming to the UK with the promise of a better life. But instead Tancos and co-conspirator Joanna Gomulska, of Bristol, used them as slaves. The pair were jailed on Wednesday after being found guilty of modern slavery and human trafficking offences. The woman, who gave birth while working for the couple, said: "I knew I could not leave, there was nothing I could do." She spoke as Tancos was jailed for 16 years and Gomulska nine years at Bristol Crown Court. The trial heard how they kept vulnerable Slovakians as slaves - forcing them to work at their car wash during the day and other jobs at night - and spent their earnings on gambling, … [Read more...] about Bristol slavery victims recount ‘horrendous’ abuse

On a chilly autumn morning in northwest London, just outside the Euston train station, Adam Roberts stops at the top of an outdoor staircase, looks around for police, and tries to appear inconspicuous. This is harder than it sounds, and not only because he’s 6 foot 3. Roberts pulls a plastic-wrapped package from his pocket, tears it open, and slides out a long, slender tube and a swab that looks like an overgrown Q-tip. After checking again for anyone watching, he trots down the stairs, dragging the swab along the handrail, and slips the swab into the tube and the tube into his pocket. Then he strolls away. Listen to the audio version of this article: Feature stories, read aloud: download the Audm app for your iPhone. After a block, Roberts veers off busy Euston Road and down side streets toward his lab at University College London. He’s not up to anything nefarious—quite the opposite—but with closed-circuit TVs everywhere and London on high alert for terrorist threats, … [Read more...] about Hunting for Antibiotics in the World’s Dirtiest Places

H ere, lying in a stained carton, are notes on a refugee camp in Tanzania, where surviving Tutsis and their Hutu enemies lived side by side in blue tarp tents. It is 1994. The notes record that there are people everywhere, milling and moving in short parades on the main path in the camp, hastily constructed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Women wear colorful cloths, khangas , and carry yellow plastic containers of water on their heads. Children and old men push up against one another, as if at a bargain sale. They hold portable radios to their ears. A man in a brown rain hat drags a reluctant goat by a rope. White smoke mixes with the smells of fresh earth and excrement. At an outdoor butcher shop, a cow’s bloodied horn lies beside the animal’s astonished head. I greet a group of young Hutus in French. “Did you participate in the killings?,” I ask. “We did nothing,” one says. “Did you see others do the killing?” He says, “We saw nothing.” I ask, “How many … [Read more...] about The World Is a Thriving Slaughterhouse

The most famous story about modern presidential campaigning now has a quaint old-world tone. It’s about the showdown between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in the first debate of their 1960 campaign, which was also the very first nationally televised general-election debate in the United States. The story is that Kennedy looked great, which is true, and Nixon looked terrible, which is also true—and that this visual difference had an unexpected electoral effect. As Theodore H. White described it in his hugely influential book The Making of the President 1960 , which has set the model for campaign coverage ever since, “sample surveys” after the debate found that people who had only heard Kennedy and Nixon talking, over the radio, thought that the debate had been a tie. But those who saw the two men on television were much more likely to think that Kennedy—handsome, tanned, non-sweaty, poised—had won. Historians who have followed up on this story haven’t found data to back … [Read more...] about When Donald Meets Hillary: Who Will Win the Debates?

Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak have both resigned from Government in an extraordinary blow to Boris Johnson 's premiership. The Health Secretary made the bombshell move as Tory anger mounted over the Prime Minister's handling of the Chris Pincher saga. Minutes later, Chancellor Rishi Sunak also announced he was also quitting . A source claimed the top Tories did not co-ordinate their resignations - despite the appearance of an organised coup to oust Mr Johnson. Their departures could be a fatal blow to the scandal-hit Prime Minister, who is fighting for his political life once again after months of sleaze and scandal. Mr Johnson was forced into a crisis reshuffle, which led to him appointing his Chief of Staff Steve Barclay as Health Secretary. Only 10 days ago Mr Johnson boasted he was “thinking actively” about a third term in office - that would keep him in No10 until the “mid-2030s”. But tonight his authority was rocked by a wave of departures, as several … [Read more...] about Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid RESIGN in Cabinet coup to topple Boris Johnson
