SCHOOLGIRL Lily Hope’s drawing is to become a piece of royal memorabilia after she won our great Jubilee Tea Towel competition to celebrate 70 years of the Queen’s reign. Talented Lily, 11, drew her picture of Her Majesty with one of her beloved corgi dogs after her uncle saw our contest in The Sun on Sunday. The drawing was picked by our panel of judges to be printed on 500 limited-edition collectable tea towels by London company Bags Of Ethics in its award-winning factory Supreme Creations. Lily, from Uldale, Cumbria, cannot wait to get hold of one in time for a Jubilee street party she will enjoy alongside her mum Kelly, 35, an NHS home-care practitioner, dad Ashley, 37, a farmer, sister Holly, eight, and three-year-old brother Joey. Lily says: “My great uncle Brian knows I love the royals and I love drawing. "So when he saw the competition, he told me all about it.

The production of gene-edited crops is to be sped up to help guarantee British food supplies in the wake of the conflict in Ukraine. Russian blockades are preventing the export of key goods such as wheat from the country, leading to rising food prices and shortages globally. Amid concern over the UK's food self-sufficiency, the Government will this week introduce a Bill which will allow farms to grow more crops by planting variants that have been edited to be more resistant to disease or need less water or fertiliser. Although plans for the Bill have been in place since Brexit , a government source said it had taken on added importance in the wake of Ukraine. Asked about the impact of the conflict on the plans, the source said: “It’s always been quite prominent as a big Brexit benefit . But also yes - it could be good news for food security in terms of developing crops that are more resistant to disease.” George Eustice, the Environment Secretary, told The Telegraph: … [Read more...] about Gene-edited crops to be sped up to ease Ukraine food crisis

Canadian classic rockers Rush have launched a new beer, but they were barred from using the catch phrase they came up with and hoped to print on cans. Singer Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson, the two surviving members of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame band, got on board with Rush Canadian Golden Ale when Henderson Brewing Company approached them, they told Ultimate Classic Rock . The can features the artwork from the band’s classic 1976 album titled “2112,” along with the tagline “Books are for tourists.” That’s not the slogan they wanted to use. “Did you know the phrase ‘Drinking beer is better than being hit in the head with a hammer’ can’t be put on a beer can?” Lee said in the interview. “Me neither. But that’s a no-no. We did ask.” The marketing plan was a match and the beer is good, Lee said. “Rush fans like beer,” he said. “Hendersons approached us during the pandemic and said, ‘If you’re interested, then we’ll send 15 beers to you and Alex. You can taste them … [Read more...] about Classic Rockers Rush Wanted Kooky Phrase On Cans Of Their New Beer, But Were Told No | The Daily Wire

A Mariupol, l'assedio che ha trasformato la strategica città portuale in un simbolo degli orrori della guerra si avvicina sempre più all'epilogo. L'acciaieria Azovstal, simbolo della resistenza ucraina all'invasione dell'Esercito russo, conta le ore prima di cadere completamente nelle mani del nemico. Secondo Mosca, sono 1.730 i soldati ucraini, asserragliatisi nello stabilimento per settimane, che si sono arresi alle proprie truppe in questi giorni: molti di essi sono appartenenti al Battaglione Azov. La Croce Rossa Internazionale sta registrando i loro nomi, nella speranza che vengano considerati prigionieri di guerra e non terroristi, come sono invece stati definiti dalla Russia. La caduta definitiva dell'acciaieria permetterà a Mosca di inviare più forze verso la regione del Donbass, ora obiettivo principale dello sforzo bellico ma non certo l'unico. Le truppe russe hanno ancora il controllo della centrale nucleare di Zaporizhzhia, la più grande … [Read more...] about Mariupol: 1730 soldati ucraini si arrendono, Croce Rossa ne registra i nomi

IT’s big week for Tom Cruise. After a PR blitz that has seen him dazzle Cannes, walk the red carpet with Wills and Kate and almost overshadow the Queen, it’s time for paying punters to give their verdict on his latest blockbuster.

Published 28 March 2018 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing One of the largest wildcats ever recorded in the world is said to have been discovered by field workers in Aberdeenshire's Clashindarroch Forest. Nicknamed the Clashindarroch Beast, it was captured on camera and is estimated to be 4ft (1.2m) from nose to tail. The footage was gathered as part of a Scottish wildcat conservation project operating across the Highlands. Remote traps are baited with food or scent, and anytime something passes in front of it the camera shoots video. Kev Bell, field worker at Wildcat Haven, said: "I've been fortunate to get footage of quite a few of these ghost cats; there's about 10 to 15 of them here in the Clashindarroch. "I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw this cat, he is enormous, a magnificent animal." 'Rarest animals' The technology is used around the world … [Read more...] about ‘Enormous wildcat’ found in Aberdeenshire forest

60 Minutes has always had a soft spot for the opera. Maybe because, like us, opera is in the storytelling business – with big, sweeping improbable tales and characters. Tonight we introduce you to one of its star storytellers – a 52-year-old tenor from Germany, named Jonas Kaufmann. Critics applaud Kaufmann's singing, range and swagger on stage. Others point to his history of high-profile cancellations. Interrupted by the pandemic, we have been following the tenor for years. Now, we finally raise the curtain, so you can hear Jonas Kaufmann make one of opera's most famous arias, his own. Even if you don't know its name, it's likely you've heard, and perhaps even hummed along to "Nessun Dorma." Jonas Kaufmann: It's very difficult to describe-- or define the magic of this song. In the first year of the pandemic, Jonas Kaufmann enchanted an audience desperate for live performances at the Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night Concert. Jonas Kaufmann: If you look carefully at this … [Read more...] about Jonas Kaufmann: Opera’s star tenor

SC Freiburg 1-1 RB Leipzig (Leipzig win 4-2 on penalties) (Eggestein 20'; Nkunku 76') Olympiastadion, Berlin As thousands of SC Freiburg supporters strolled up Reichsstraße towards Berlin's Olympic Stadium, singing, drinking and letting off flares, one fan broke ranks to slap a sticker on a bus stop. "A club doesn't belong to one person," the sticker read, a quote alongside an image of iconic Freiburg coach Christian Streich. "The club belongs to the members and the people who identify with it." It's a concept which, in many places across the football world in 2022, is little more than abtract lip-service. The fans tell themselves their clubs are "theirs," but they're not really; they belong to wealthy businesspeople, investors or, nowadays, sovereign wealth funds. But not in Germany, where the 50+1 rule still holds sway. And certainly not at SC Freiburg, a club owned entirely by its 35,000 members . It's a tradition of members' associations – or Vereine – which goes … [Read more...] about RB Leipzig’s first major trophy: ‘The club belongs to the people who identify with it’

It wasn’t the first time that boisterous travelling supporters turned Turin’s Piazza San Carlo into the stage for their warm-up sing song before heading out to the Juventus Stadium. They weren’t the first to be bussed, flown, freighted into town in the hope of seeing ribbons in their club’s colors hanging from a European trophy. They weren’t the first, and they won’t be the last, to toast that dream’s fulfilment in the bars in San Salvario, or mourn its passing in a dreary drive home on the Autostrada. But on one count they can claim to have broken new ground; they did this not to support their heroes, but their heroines. Olympique Lyon beat reigning titleholders Barcelona in the Women's Champions League final as events in Turin once again underlined the unprecedented rise in popularity of the women's game. "We couldn’t hear each other on the pitch from a meter away," said Player of the Match Amadine Henry. "We had to shout. We’re really happy, even though there were more … [Read more...] about Women’s Champions League: Lyon retake European throne on night of historic support

The delivery service business gained popularity in Berlin a little over a decade ago, when firms like Berlin-based Lieferheld introduced platforms for people to order meals from restaurants, with restaurant employees completing the deliveries. Starting around 2013, this model was effectively replaced by online and app-based services that hired their own delivery workers. This allowed customers to order from restaurants that didn't employ their own delivery staff and simultaneously created thousands of delivery jobs that offered flexible schedules and required very little training. Now the delivery business market is expanding beyond food and grocery services. German-based Mayd (Meds at your door), began delivering medications to peoples' homes last year and has already expanded to 25 German cities and hired 900 workers. "We will be active all over Germany by the end of the year," said Hanno Heintzenberg, co-founder of Mayd, adding that the company also had plans to expand … [Read more...] about The dangers of app-based delivery work
