Common fitness myths

"Let's go back to the '50s," Prince William beams, donning the medals he 'earned' by being a Mummy's boy - while commoner Kate slips into her budget-friendly Alexander McQueen dress (a hopeful omen, perhaps?). "Smile and wave," he says, standing symbolically high on his moving pedestal , the corners of his mouth slowly slipping. Why isn't everybody cheering for the white man? Will thinks. Yes, the monarchy benefitted from slavery. Yes, protestors are calling for reparations . Yes, I'm completely out of touch but I got up on stage and declared slavery should NEVER have happened . What more can I do? "I wonder if this was a mistake?" Kate whispers - the first thought she'd formed on her own in a while - as she shakes the hand of a Black child through the prison- I mean gates. Safe to say, the standing symbolically high on his moving pedestal deserved the backlash it created. But from it, talk about the royals' hard work ethic and dedication to duty also arose. … [Read more...] about ‘Myth of hard-working Royals is a smokescreen – their only job is to protect themselves’

THE US is “not ready” for a potential drone war with China as Washington has been “preoccupied” with the "War on Terror" for decades, an expert says. Beijing is a “very sophisticated” drone power as it continues to "pour resources" into developing new technology, author and expert Seth Frantzman told The Sun. Meanwhile, the US had a “lot of privilege” after defeating the Soviet Union in the Cold War meaning no country could threaten its status as a global superpower. Frantzman said the US spent decades tinkering with systems and investing billions of technology in drones such as Reapers, Predators, and Global Hawks. He said: “There was no need for the US to invent. It happens when a country has a bit too much power or is privileged.” While China invested in its military, officials in Washington were preoccupied with the War on Terror, according to the author. Frantzman said: “A lot of people didn’t think that China was on the radar for a while. “No one imagined 10 … [Read more...] about US is ‘not ready’ for a drone war with China as Washington has been ‘preoccupied’ with ISIS terror threat, expert warns

THE US is in danger of losing the so-called drone wars as rivals such as China and Russia are developing new weapons and beefing up their arsenal, an expert says. Author Seth J Frantzman told The Sun that the US was “privileged” after the Cold War but warned that Beijing is threatening to challenge its status as a drone superpower. After the Cold War, officials in Washington spent around 20 years “tinkering” with systems as they had “no need to invent" due to their superiority, the expert said. The US is a pioneer in drone technology as engineers developed machines such as the Predator, Reaper, and Global Hawk. Intelligence officials didn't contemplate the possibility that a drone could be gunned down, according to Frantzman. A Global Hawk was shot down by Iranian Revolutionary Guard militias in 2019 as tensions between Tehran and Washington escalated under former president Donald Trump. Iranian officials claimed the drone violated their airspace, while the US said … [Read more...] about US in danger of losing drone wars as China and Russia beef up aircraft arsenal in growing arms race, expert warns

O n the eve of the Uefa Cup final, Celtic's minds were full of history and hope. Having reflected on all that the club have achieved and the ambitions they nurse, Martin O'Neill's team must now narrow their thoughts and train all concentration on a Porto side whom the club president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa calls the best in 50 years. By implication, Porto surpass even their European Cup-winning line-up of 1987. Tonight's game on a discoloured, rutted surface at the Estadio Olimpico could make even greater demands of Celtic than their meetings in the tournament with Celta Vigo, Stuttgart or Liverpool. There is a frisson along with the fear. Celtic are challenged to square up to their own history and the nature of the reaction will be fascinating. It was this club, in 1967, that established Scotland as the smallest country ever to boast European Cup winners when they beat Internazionale. No one presently on the books could remain in ignorance of that. "We have in our … [Read more...] about Vintage Porto look hot for Celtic

By Kate McGough Published 3 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Girls do not take physics at A-level because they think the subject is only for white boys, MPs have been told. No mention of female scientists in the national curriculum contributes to "the message society gives" to discourage girls from picking physics, leading physicist Prof Dame Athene Donald said. "If you are black or if you are a woman, you don't see yourself fitting in," she said. In 2021, 23% of physics A-level entrants were female. This is a slight increase on previous years. Prof Donald, from the University of Cambridge, told the Commons Science and Technology Committee it was "relevant" that "most of the images one sees of scientists, physicists, are white males". Teachers should try to "actively counter" messages from wider society that may discourage girls and children … [Read more...] about Girls see physics as for white men only, MPs told
