S.Korea to lift nuclear power share of energy mix to 30% by 2030
The U-turn in Asia's fourth-largest economy towards a pro-nuclear energy policy comes after Yoon won the March presidential election by the smallest margin in South Korea's democratic history. While boosting the role of nuclear energy, the country plans to reduce its reliance on fossil fuel imports from 81.8% in 2021 to around 60% by 2030, the ministry said.
South Korea plans to increase the contribution of nuclear power in the country's power source mix to 30% or more by 2030 from 27.4% in 2021, the industry ministry said on Tuesday.
South Korea's new president, Yoon Suk-yeol, has rejected the idea of phasing out nuclear energy and made it a key pledge of his campaign to boost investment in the industry and revive its status as a key exporter of safe reactors. The U-turn in Asia's fourth-largest economy towards a pro-nuclear energy policy comes after Yoon won the March presidential election by the smallest margin in South Korea's democratic history.
While boosting the role of nuclear energy, the country plans to reduce its reliance on fossil fuel imports from 81.8% in 2021 to around 60% by 2030, the ministry said. "As the global carbon neutrality trend continues and global energy supply chain instability increases due to the Russia-Ukraine crisis and other factors, the role of energy policy in achieving energy security and carbon neutrality goals is more important than ever," it said in a statement.

Australia proposes to extend gas security policy until 2030
The extension would ensure the availability of the so-called Australian Domestic Gas Security Mechanism (ADGSM) while checks are made to improve the existing process, Resources Minister Madeleine King said. "The current ADGSM is a complex mechanism that would, if invoked, take a long time to produce results," King said in a statement.
- Country:
- Australia
The Australian government on Tuesday proposed to extend its gas security policy until 2030 to ensure the mechanism is available to help reserve domestic gas to prevent a supply crunch that would cause wholesale power and gas prices to rise. The extension would ensure the availability of the so-called Australian Domestic Gas Security Mechanism (ADGSM) while checks are made to improve the existing process, Resources Minister Madeleine King said.
"The current ADGSM is a complex mechanism that would, if invoked, take a long time to produce results," King said in a statement. The current domestic gas security mechanism requires east coast suppliers of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to hold back some exports for the domestic market but the trigger would not help solve immediate shortages as it involves an annual review.
The mechanism, designed by the previous government to consider annual balances of supply and demand, also requires prior consultations with industry and regulators. Last month, Australia's energy market operator took the unprecedented step of suspending the electricity spot market across eastern Australia to ensure it could keep the lights on, amid a string of outages at coal-fired plants and record high global coal and gas prices.
But the government did not invoke the gas security trigger saying that would not provide any relief straight away. King said the government will hold meetings with Australia's major gas suppliers as well as key international counterparts as it opens public consultations on extending the ADGSM, due to expire on Jan. 1, 2023.
The current consultation is on the extension of the existing ADGSM as required by law.

Macau COVID outbreak hits more than 900 as infections spread
While the former Portuguese colony has not introduced a full scale lockdown seen in mainland Chinese cities like Shanghai, most facilities are shut and restaurants can only provide takeaway. Only Macau's casinos have been allowed to stay open in a move to ensure job security.
- Country:
- Hong Kong
Macau reported 89 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, taking the total to more than 900 infections since mid-June, as authorities in the world's biggest gambling hub race to contain its largest outbreak since the pandemic began. More than 13,000 people are under quarantine in the Chinese special administrative region, which has effectively shut down to limit the spread of coronavirus.
The city's more than 600,000 residents are subject to three citywide COVID-19 tests this week, with people also required to take rapid antigen tests in between. While the former Portuguese colony has not introduced a full scale lockdown seen in mainland Chinese cities like Shanghai, most facilities are shut and restaurants can only provide takeaway.
Only Macau's casinos have been allowed to stay open in a move to ensure job security. The government relies on the industry for over 80% of its tax revenue with most of the population employed directly or indirectly by the casino resorts. While casinos are physically open, there are hardly any gamblers inside and very few staff working, with many employees asked to stay at home, as per the government's request.
The stringent measures come after Macau has been largely COVID-free since an outbreak in October 2021. It still has an open border with mainland China, with its economy firmly hinged to the inflow of Chinese visitors. Macau adheres to China's "zero-COVID" policy which aims to eradicate all outbreaks, at just about any cost, running counter to a global trend of trying to co-exist with the virus.
Its cases are still far below daily infections in other places, including neighbouring Hong Kong where cases have jumped to more than 2,000 a day this month. However, Macau only has one public hospital, whose services are already stretched on a daily basis. Officials have put up a makeshift hospital next to the city's Las Vegas style Cotai strip to help cope with the rise in cases.

Regularly penning recipes for their website , Vogue and The Guardian, the fashion world’s favourite health food gurus have gone on to top the bestsellers' lists time and time again with their popular recipe books. Here they share one of their favourites from ‘The Art of Eating Well’ - a delicious curry that's perfect for cosy nights in.
"Red split lentils provide a quick-and-easy creamy base without the need to soak them. The coconut and ginger have incredible immune-boosting properties and, as usual, we like to sneak nourishing homemade broth into all our cooking. With this fragrant curry, the bone broth is purely for the nutritional value, so you can afford to skip it if you don’t have any to hand (but please don’t be tempted to use stock cubes). Try this curry with coconut green beans and cauliflower rice, or serve with a pile of watercress on top or add in lots of finely shredded cabbage towards the end of the cooking time."
Serves 4 as a one-pot meal or 6 if served with a side dish
Ingredients
200 g bar of creamed coconut (use the oil for frying) or 2 tins of full-fat coconut milk plus 2 tbsp coconut oil or ghee, for frying
2 large onions, diced
2 thumb-sized pieces of fresh root ginger (about 80 g) – unpeeled if organic – grated
6 large garlic cloves, diced
200 g red split lentils, rinsed (no need to soak these)
½−1 litre bone broth or water (use a little less if you are using coconut milk and depending on how thick or saucy you want your curry to be)
1 large aubergine, choppedinto 1.5 cm pieces
4 large tomatoes, quartered
2 large courgettes, diced
grated zest and juice of 1 unwaxed lime or lemon (avoid the bitter white pith)
2½–3 tsp tamari or 2 large pinches of sea salt
1 tsp maple syrup
a handful of roughly chopped fresh herbs, such as coriander, mint or basil (Thai basil if you can get it)
a handful of peanuts or cashew nuts
GET MORE GLOSS: Pea and mint ice lollies with chocolate
Method
1) In a large wide pan, dry fry the peanuts or cashews for a few minutes to toast them, roughly chop and then set aside.
2) In the same pan, heat the coconut oil over a medium heat and fry the onion, ginger and garlic for 10 minutes until soft (don’t let the onion and garlic go brown).
3) Add the lentils, the roughly chopped coconut solids or coconut milk, and then most of the bone broth or water (a bit less if you’re using the coconut milk) and stir well.This should be enough liquid for the coconut solids to dissolve, but keep an eye on the liquid levels so that the lentils don’t stick and burn at the bottom.
4) After 6 minutes of cooking over a medium-high heat, add the aubergine and stir.
5) After a further 10 minutes, add the tomato, courgette, lime or lemon zest and the tamari or salt. Add more bone broth or water if you think your curry needs it.
6) After 6 minutes, turn off the heat and add the lime or lemon juice, the maple syrup and fresh herbs, then stir and taste.You might need a little more tamari or salt or lime or lemon juice to add sourness.
7) Top with the nuts and serve with watercress or your chosen side dish. If we’re having guests round,we like to serve our curry with some little bowls of extras (nuts, herbs, lemon or lime wedges and a bowl of tamari or sea salt) so everyone can help themselves to extra toppings.

NIA takes custody of all accused in Amravati chemist's murder
- Country:
- India
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken over custody of all the seven accused in the murder of Amravati-based chemist Umesh Kolhe, a police official said on Tuesday.
The NIA took custody of all the accused, who were granted four days’ transit remand on Monday after they were produced before the Amravati court, he said.
The accused are likely to be produced before the NIA's Mumbai court on or before July 8, the official added.
Amravati police had found inks between social media posts supporting former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and Umesh's murder during the investigation and didn't suppress the case as was alleged, police commissioner Arti Singh said on Monday.
Police didn't disclose the information earlier given the ''very sensitive'' nature of the murder case and to avoid any untoward incident, she said.
The seven are Muddasar Ahmad (22), Shahrukh Pathan (25), Abdul Taufiq (24) Shoaib Khan (22), Atib Rashid (22) and Yusuf Khan (32) and alleged mastermind Shaikh Irfan Shaikh Rahim.
Police are on the lookout for one more suspect Shamim Ahmed in connection with the case.
Umesh was allegedly attacked with a knife by a group of three men between 10 pm and 10:30 pm on June 21. He died during treatment at hospital. He had supported a post on social media in support of Nupur Sharma, who made a comment on Prophet Muhammad in a TV debate.

Suspected North Korea dam water release prompts S.Koreans to evacuate
The water level at a bridge at the river in the South's border county of Yeoncheon surpassed 1 metre on Monday afternoon, requiring visitors on the riverbank to evacuate, government data showed. "North Korea appears to have released water from its Hwanggang dam," an official at South Korea's unification ministry handling inter-Korean affairs told Reuters.
- Country:
- South Korea
North Korea appears to have released water from a dam near its border with South Korea, prompting vacationers in the neighbouring country to evacuate over rising water levels on the Imjin River, officials said on Tuesday. The water level at a bridge at the river in the South's border county of Yeoncheon surpassed 1 metre on Monday afternoon, requiring visitors on the riverbank to evacuate, government data showed.
"North Korea appears to have released water from its Hwanggang dam," an official at South Korea's unification ministry handling inter-Korean affairs told Reuters. The Yeoncheon county said it sent alarm messages to nearby residents and issued warnings to move to a safe area.
It was not immediately clear how many people had to leave after the suspected water release. "The water level is now decreasing after hovering over 1.6 metres," a Yeoncheon county official said.
North Korea has been stepping up efforts to prevent flood damage from recent heavy rains. South Korea has repeatedly urged the North to give notice before releasing water from the dam, as the river flows through Yeoncheon, but Pyongyang has remained unresponsive.
Release of water from the dam in 2009 resulted in flooding downstream that killed six South Koreans.

I am frequently asked how often I take probiotics, and how important I feel they are to my overall health. My answer is very simple – every day, every month, for the last 21 years! How important they are is immeasurable to the health of the digestive tract, as I have outlined in explicit detail in my book, Gut Gastronomy , £30.
First however, it’s important to establish exactly what they are. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. These are the main reasons why probiotics are so important:
1. They fight the bad with the good
They help to colonize the beneficial bacteria in the gut that are essential for combating bacterial infections that might occur for a number of reasons, including poor quality food, excessive sugars in the diet, excess alcohol, deep fried foods and other poor eating habits.
2. They help you get the most out of your food
They support the rebuilding and repair of micro-cells that make up the villi of the intestinal wall. There are literally millions of these miniscule finger-like projections that vastly increase the total surface area for absorption – without these, you can barely absorb any of your food, irrespective of the quality of it.
3. They fight infections
They boost immunity in the gut as they form a large part of the immune ‘army’. When you have to take antibiotics, they kill off the pathogenic (bad) bacteria of the infection, but they also kill off and disrupt the beneficial bacteria (pre- and probiotics) in the gut, leaving the digestive system open to any other opportunistic infection. This is one of the main reasons why so many people in hospital develop secondary infections when they have been on intravenous antibiotics.
4. They boost your mind
It is now thought that probiotics are also relevant in supporting your mood and the state of mind you are in. Gershon wrote a brilliant book, The Second Brain , £8.90, wherein he identified that up to 85% of your serotonin receptor sites are in the gut, rather than the brain. Serotonin is a hormone-like neurotransmitter that creates positivity, happiness, laughter and fun, which explains why so many people with ‘tummy troubles’ are also not happy people. The two are inextricably linked. Probiotics help to ensure that the serotonin receptor sites are wholesome and flourishing in the gut.
5. They work better in capsule form
With all this understanding of what they are responsible for, why wouldn’t you take them? However, you need to know how to take them properly in order to be able to fully benefit. Sadly, they are not as effective when included in a so-called ‘healthy’ probiotic yoghurt, as the yoghurt has to contain the equivalent of many teaspoons of sugar to feed the living bacteria, many of which do not survive the acidic environment of the stomach, due to the high level of acid in there.
They are best taken in capsules, that are enteric-coated to survive the acidic environment of the stomach, and allow release of millions, if not billions of the delicate living probiotic organisms that can reach the destination of where they are needed most – in the intestinal area of the gut. My favourite brands to buy are Bio-kult Advanced Multi-Strain Formula , £9.49; OptiBac Probiotics , from £11 and Biocare Bifidobacterium Infantis , £32.95. I take one capsule before I eat or drink anything in the morning, and two before retiring to bed, when the digestive system is repairing and healing itself as I sleep.

Fourth of July shooter on rooftop kills 6 in Chicago's Highland Park suburb
A gunman perched on a rooftop opened fire on families waving flags and children riding bikes at a Fourth of July parade on Monday, killing six and wounding more than 36 in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
A gunman perched on a rooftop opened fire on families waving flags and children riding bikes at a Fourth of July parade on Monday, killing six and wounding more than 36 in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park. The gunman climbed to the roof of a business using a ladder in an alley, police said. The attack turned a civic display of patriotism into a scene of panicked mayhem.
Hours later, police announced that they had a suspect in custody after 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III surrendered to authorities. The main street in Highland Park is now a crime scene spanning blocks, strewn with abandoned chairs and flags. Witnesses came back to retrieve strollers and other items later on Monday but were told they could not go beyond the police tape.
"It sounded like fireworks going off," said retired doctor Richard Kaufman who was standing across the street from where the gunman opened fire, adding that he heard about 200 shots. "It was pandemonium," he said. "People were covered in blood tripping over each other.”
The shooting comes with gun violence fresh on the minds of many Americans. A gunman on May 24 murdered 19 school children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, just 10 days after a man shot dead 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.
The latest attack is likely to rekindle the debate about gun control and whether stricter measures can prevent mass shootings that happen so frequently in the United States. Police said they did not know what the motive was for the shooting in Highland Park on Monday. Those wounded ranged in age from 8 to 85, including four or five children.
The New York Times named one of the dead as 76-year-old Nicolas Toledo, who was in a wheelchair and had not wanted to attend the parade, but his disabilities required that he be around someone full time and his family had not wanted to miss the event. "We were all in shock,” his granddaughter Xochil Toledo said. "We thought it was part of the parade."
At least one of those killed was a Mexican national, a senior Mexican foreign ministry official said on Twitter. VIOLENT IMAGES ONLINE
Social media and other online posts written by accounts that appeared to be associated with either Crimo or his rapper alias, Awake The Rapper, often depicted violent images or messages. The accounts showed a man with physical characteristics and facial tattoos similar to those in photos of the suspect released by police.
One music video posted to YouTube under the Awake The Rapper name, for example, showed drawings of a stick figure holding a rifle in front of another figure spread on the ground. In a different video, a stick figure is shown bleeding in front of police cars. Reuters could not verify if the YouTube account belonged to Crimo, although the account was terminated on Monday after he was named a suspect.
A YouTube spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment. President Joe Biden said he and his wife Jill were "shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day."
Biden referred in his statement to bipartisan gun-reform legislation he signed recently but said much more needed to be done, and added: "I’m not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence." 'REALLY TRAUMATIZING'
A 36-year-old native of Highland Park who wanted to be identified only as Sara, told Reuters she had attended the annual parade most years since her childhood. "Not even five minutes after, very shortly after, the police and firetrucks part of the parade had gone by I heard ‘pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,’" she said, adding that she first thought they were muskets sometimes used in parades.
"The popping didn’t stop ... again it went ‘pop, pop, pop, pop, pop’ and I turned and I said ‘those are gun shots, run!’” Highland Park's population is 30,000 and nearly 90% white, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. About a third of the population is Jewish, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
After the Uvalde and Buffalo shootings, Congress last month passed its first major federal gun reform in three decades, providing federal funding to states that administer "red flag" laws intended to remove guns from people deemed dangerous. The law does not ban sales of assault-style rifles or high-capacity magazines but does take some steps on background checks by allowing access to information on significant crimes committed by juveniles.

"There is a security incident on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway," emergency authorities said, referring to the shooting. Both officers were in stable condition, CBS3 Philadelphia said, citing the police department. Police were searching for the shooter.
Video cited by local media showed people running from the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Police instructed people in surrounding buildings to shelter in place.
"I didn’t hear the shots, but the cops were like, ‘Run, run, run,’" one woman told an NBC affiliate. Earlier in the day in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, a gunman on a rooftop opened fire on families waving flags and children riding bikes at a Fourth of July parade, killing six and wounding more than 36.

Periods are annoying enough as they are without adding gut issues such as bloating and gas to the mix. Who hasn’t noticed that at certain times of the month, the two seem to go hand in hand? Rest assured it’s normal, explains dietitian Sophie Medlin of City Dietitians .
“We know that the hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle impact gut function on many levels, includes how the bowel contracts, how fast food moves through the bowel, the amount of digestive enzymes that are secreted as well as how sensitive we are to stretches in the bowel wall,’ she says.
However, if you also suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), your monthly hormone fluctuations can make your already difficult gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, diarrhoea and/or constipation) worse.
Why would your body be so cruel and what can you do to soften the blow of this double whammy? We asked consultant gastroenterologist Simon Smale to explain.
Men don’t seem to get IBS as much as women, why is this?
“Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects men and women of any age, but there is now an overwhelming wealth of medical and anecdotal evidence pointing to the fact that hormones are likely to play a role in exacerbating IBS symptoms meaning women are more likely to suffer. In fact twice as many women have it as men.
What have periods and hormones got to do with IBS?
This may explain why you have more flare-ups at different points of your menstrual cycle. The time of the month at which this happens is hugely variable but there is a tendency for many people to get more abdominal pain and bloating approaching and around the time of menses (your period).
Will hormone-related IBS become easier when I reach menopause?
“While a few people find the menopause leads to changes that exacerbate their symptoms post-menopausal women often find their symptoms improve.”
What are sex hormones doing in my digestive system?
“Oestrogen and progesterone can affect IBS symptoms in different ways, from how our intestines move waste and food along (known as gut motility) to how much pain you feel. Cells in the gut have ‘receptors’ that let these hormones latch on to them. This suggests that your digestive system is designed to sense them. Normally this is a good thing. We rely on all sorts of hormones such as glucagon, insulin and neurotransmitters such as like serotonin to co-ordinate our digestion. However this amazing and complex system can become over or under-senstive to the effects of hormones. This then puts the gut into disarray. In people with IBS, sex hormones influence the bowel function abnormally. It’s like a complex machine, if one thing goes wrong it can have all sorts of effects on other parts.”
What time of the month is worst for IBS?
“Studies show that IBS symptoms can increase in the luteal phase, which is just after ovulation around day 14 to the start of your period. This is when oestrogen and progesterone levels rise to a peak, before falling. The changes in both these can exacerbate symptoms leading up to or during your period. What you experience depends on which symptoms are more predominant for you – such as cramping, loose stools, bloating or constipation.”
Why do I feel not just cramps but everything is more painful around my period?
“Female hormones have an effect on how much pain you experience. Oestrogen enhances the levels of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter in both the gut and the brain, which improves mood and your experience of pain. It works by stopping serotonin re-uptake by the neurons – meaning there is more of it in your system (ie better mood). It works in a similar way to anti-depressants known as SSRIs, which are also sometimes used to treat IBS. Rising levels of oestrogen just after ovulation may lessen pain, but falling levels as your period approaches can lead to increased abdominal discomfort and pain."
MORE GLOSS: Dr Rangan Chatterjee: the reasons why IBS is on the rise
“Another factor which may make things feel more painful is that during your period, the uterus also produces messengers known as prostaglandins, which control inflammation and pain, either increasing or decreasing it, depending on which are more prevalent for you. Around the time of your period, some of these prostaglandins may make the feeling of pain in the uterus and the nearby bowel worse, resulting in more painful menstrual cramps and more painful IBS symptoms."
What can I do to lessen the symptoms of IBS?
“Some patients find that HRT or the contraceptive pill can help, but it’s also very important to consider lifestyle factors such as diet, and making sure you are managing stress, with relaxation and exercise."
“A good start is establishing good dietary and lifestyle habits and recognising the role that both stress and diet lapses may play. If you need further help seek the support of an appropriately trained healthcare professional such as a dietitian. Psychological interventions such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help manage stress as can exercise and apps such as Zemedy (a 10-week CBT programme for IBS) and Chill Panda - a relaxation app currently being tested by the NHS."
Help is also available from the IBS Network , the national charity supporting patients with IBS. Probiotics too can help reset the system.
How can probiotics help with IBS?
“A good quality probiotic can also help to support your gut before your period. Probiotics that are currently available don’t affect hormone levels directly but some such as Alforex can reduce the sensitivity that is associated with menstrual changes whereas others may help manage stress by improving resilience and the changes in the brain associated with anxiety."
“They usually take about ten days to establish themselves in the system and should be taken for a month or so to assess whether they are of benefit."
Simon Smale is a consultant gastroenterologist working at, among others, York Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and who works for Alflorex probiotics, £24.95 for 30.

China says Vice Premier Liu had 'constructive' exchange with U.S. Yellen
Chinese Vice Premier Liu He had a "constructive" exchange over macro economies and global supply chains via a video call with U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Tuesday, China's commerce ministry said. The two sides had a "pragmatic and frank" exchange of views on topics including the macroeconomic situation and the stability of the global industrial and supply chains, said a statement from the ministry.
Chinese Vice Premier Liu He had a "constructive" exchange over macro economies and global supply chains via a video call with U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Tuesday, China's commerce ministry said.
The two sides had a "pragmatic and frank" exchange of views on topics including the macroeconomic situation and the stability of the global industrial and supply chains, said a statement from the ministry. China also expressed concerns over the additional tariffs the United States imposed on Chinese goods and sanctions on Chinese firms, and both sides agreed to maintain dialogue, the ministry said.
"As the global economy faces grim challenges, there is a great significance to strengthen the communication and coordination of the macro policies between China and the United States. Safeguarding the stability of global industrial chains and supply chains will serve the benefits of China, the U.S. and the whole world," according to the statement. The invitation for the call came from the U.S. Treasury Secretary, according to the ministry.
U.S. President Joe Biden is in the process of making up his mind on easing U.S. tariffs on China, in part to ease inflation which he has said is a top priority. There has been a divergence on easing the tariffs within the Biden administration, and Yellen had said some tariffs on China inherited from the administration of former President Donald Trump made "no strategic sense".
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on June 27 at the G7 summit in southern Germany that Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to speak in the next few weeks.

A large chunk of Alpine glacier broke loose Sunday afternoon and roared down a mountainside in Italy, sending ice, snow and rock slamming into hikers on a popular trail on the peak and killing at least six and injuring eight, authorities said.
It couldn't immediately be determined how many hikers were in the area or whether any were missing, said Walter Milan, a spokesperson for the national Alpine rescue corps who provided the death and injury toll.
Rescuers were checking license plates in the parking lot as part of checks to determine how many people might be unaccounted for, a process that could take hours, Milan said by telephone.
"We saw dead (people) and enormous chunks of ice, rock,'' exhausted-looking rescuer Luigi Felicetti told Italian state TV.
Nationalities or ages of the dead weren't immediately available, Milan said. Of the eight hospitalized survivors, two were in grave condition, emergency dispatch services said.
The fast-moving avalanche "came down with a roar the could be heard at great distance,'' local online media site ildolomiti.it said.
Earlier, the National Alpine and Cave Rescue Corps tweeted that the search of the involved area of Marmolada peak involved at least five helicopters and rescue dogs.
The SUEM dispatch service, which is based in the nearby Veneto region, said 18 people who were above the area where the ice struck would be evacuated by the Alpine rescue corps.
But Milan said some on the slope might be able to get down by themselves, including by using the peak's cable car.
SUEM said the avalanche consisted of a "pouring down of snow, ice and rock." The detached section is know as a serrac, or pinnacle of ice.
Marmolada, towering about 11,000 feet, is the highest peak in the eastern Dolomites, offering spectacular views of other Alpine peaks.
The Alpine rescue service said in a tweet that the segment broke off near Punta Rocca (Rock Point), "along the itinerary normally used to reach the peak."
It wasn't immediately clear what caused the section of ice to break away and rush down the peak's slope. But the intense heat wave gripping Italy since late June could be a factor.
"The temperatures of these days clearly had influence" on the glacier's partial collapse, Maurizio Fugatti, the president of Trento Province, which borders Marmolada, told Sky TG24 news.
But Milan stressed that high heat, which soared unusually above 50 F on Marmolada's peak in recent days, was only one possible factor in Sunday's tragedy.
"There are so many factors that could be involved,'' Milan said. Avalanches in general aren't predictable, he said, and heat's influence on a glacier "is even more impossible to predict."
In separate comments to Italian state television, Milan called the recent temperatures "extreme heat" for the peak. "Clearly it's something abnormal."
The injured were flown to several hospitals in the regions of Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto, according to rescue services.

Sydney floods impact 50,000 around Australia's largest city
- Country:
- Australia
Hundreds of homes have been inundated in and around Australia's largest city in a flood emergency that was impacting 50,000 people, officials said Tuesday.
Emergency response teams made 100 rescues overnight of people trapped in cars on flooded roads or in inundated homes in the Sydney area, State Emergency Service manager Ashley Sullivan said.
Days of torrential rain have caused dams to overflow and waterways to break their banks, bringing a fourth flood emergency in 16 months to parts of the city of 5 million people.
The New South Wales state government declared a disaster across 23 local government areas overnight, activating federal government financial assistance for flood victims.
Evacuation orders and warnings to prepare to abandon homes impacted 50,000 people, up from 32,000 on Monday, New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet said.
''This event is far from over. Please don't be complacent, wherever you are. Please be careful when you're driving on our roads. There is still substantial risk for flash flooding across our state,” Perrottet said.
Emergency Services Minister Steph Cooke credited the skill and commitment of rescue crews for preventing any death or serious injury by the fourth day of the flooding emergency.
Parts of southern Sydney had been lashed by more than 20 centimetres (nearly 8 inches) of rain in 24 hours, more than 17 per cent of the city's annual average, Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Jonathan How said.
Severe weather warnings of heavy rain remained in place across Sydney's eastern suburbs on Tuesday. The warnings also extended north of Sydney along the coast and into the Hunter Valley.
The worst flooding was along the Hawkesbury-Nepean rivers system along Sydney's northern and western fringes.
“The good news is that by tomorrow afternoon, it is looking to be mostly dry but, of course, we are reminding people that these floodwaters will remain very high well after the rain has stopped,” How said.
“There was plenty of rain fall overnight and that is actually seeing some rivers peak for a second time. So you've got to take many days, if not a week, to start to see these floodwaters start to recede,” How added.
The wild weather and mountainous seas along the New South Wales coast thwarted plans to tow a stricken cargo ship with 21 crew members to the safety of open sea.
The ship lost power after leaving port in Wollongong, south of Sydney, on Monday morning and risked being grounded by 8-metre (26-foot) swells and winds blowing at 30 knots (34 mph) against cliffs.
An attempt to tow the ship with tugboats into open ocean ended when a towline snapped in an 11-metre (36-foot) swell late Monday, Port Authority chief executive Philip Holliday said.
The ship was maintaining its position on Tuesday farther from the coast than it had been on Monday with two anchors and the help of two tugboats. The new plan was to tow the ship to Sydney when weather and sea conditions calmed as early as Wednesday, Holliday said. The original plan had been for the ship's crew to repair their engine at sea.
“We're in a better position than we were yesterday,” Holliday said. “We're in relative safety.” Perrottet described the tugboat crews' response on Monday to save the ship as “heroic.” “I want to thank those men and women who were on those crews last night for the heroic work they did in incredibly treacherous conditions. To have an 11-metre (36-foot) swell, to be undergoing and carrying out that work is incredibly impressive,” Perrottet said.

A satellite the size of a microwave oven successfully broke free from its orbit around Earth and is headed toward the moon.
It's the latest step in NASA's plan to land astronauts on the lunar surface again. The Capstone satellite will take four months to reach the moon as it cruises along using minimal energy. Rocket Lab company founder Peter Beck told The Associated Press the experience of seeing the project come together and send the spacecraft on the way to the moon was "just absolutely epic." The plan is for the satellite to orbit the moon in a stretched-out egg shape to save fuel and stay in contact with Earth.
NASA eventually plans to put a space station in the same orbital path.
Rocket Lab founder Peter Beck said it was hard to put his excitement into words.
“It’s probably going to take a while to sink in. It’s been a project that has taken us two, two-and-a-half years and is just incredibly, incredibly difficult to execute,” he said. “So to see it all come together tonight and see that spacecraft on its way to the moon, it’s just absolutely epic.”

Australia floods worsen as thousands more Sydney residents evacuate
There are still substantial risks for flash flooding." The latest wild storm cell - which brought heavy rains with several places receiving more than Australia's annual average rainfall in three days - is likely to ease in Sydney from Tuesday as the coastal trough moves north, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) said. But the risk of flooding could remain through the week with most river catchments already near capacity even before the latest deluge.
Torrential rains kept battering Australia's east coast on Tuesday, intensifying the flood crisis in Sydney as thousands more residents were ordered to leave their homes after rivers swiftly rose past danger levels. About 50,000 residents in New South Wales, most in Sydney's western suburbs, have been told to either evacuate or warned they might receive evacuation orders, up from Monday's 30,000, authorities said.
"This event is far from over, please don't be complacent," New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet told reporters. "Wherever you are, please be careful when you're driving on our roads. There are still substantial risks for flash flooding." The latest wild storm cell - which brought heavy rains with several places receiving more than Australia's annual average rainfall in three days - is likely to ease in Sydney from Tuesday as the coastal trough moves north, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) said.
But the risk of flooding could remain through the week with most river catchments already near capacity even before the latest deluge. About 90mm (3.5 inches) of rain could fall over six hours in the state's mid-north coast from Tuesday, reaching up to 125mm in some places, BoM said.
Winds up to 90km per hour (56 miles per hour) are also forecast in several flood-hit places, raising the risk of falling trees and power lines. "We're asking people across Sydney today to please stay at home unless you really need to leave the house," state Emergency Management Minister Steph Cooke said.
The federal government late on Monday declared the floods a natural disaster, helping flood-hit residents receive emergency funding support. Emergency crews will continue their rescue operation on Tuesday to tow a bulk carrier ship that lost power off the coast of Sydney after tow lines broke in severe weather, officials said.
Major flooding is occurring at Windsor in Sydney's west, which is going through its third flood this year, with current water levels higher than seen in the deluge early this year, the weather bureau said. Footage on social media showed submerged roads and bridges, while emergency crews rescued stranded people from partially submerged vehicles that became stuck in rising waters.
Nigel Myron, a Windsor resident, said he has kept an inflatable boat ready if he had to evacuate though he is looking to move back to his place once waters recede. "At the end of the day, what can you do? It is what it is and we dust ourselves off from the ashes and rebuild after the floods have come and gone," Myron told ABC television.

U.S. drug distributors prevail in $2.5 bln West Virginia opioid case
U.S. District Judge David Faber rejected efforts by the city of Huntington and Cabell County to force the country's three largest pharmaceutical distributors to pay $2.5 billion to address a drug crisis prompted by a flood of addictive pills in their region. But following a months-long trial that ended last year, Faber said the companies did not cause any oversupply of opioids, saying doctors' "good faith" prescribing decisions drove the volume of painkillers they shipped to pharmacies.
Major U.S. drug distributors McKesson Corp, AmerisourceBergen Corp and Cardinal Health Inc are not responsible for fueling an opioid epidemic in a part of West Virginia, a federal judge ruled on Monday. U.S. District Judge David Faber rejected efforts by the city of Huntington and Cabell County to force the country's three largest pharmaceutical distributors to pay $2.5 billion to address a drug crisis prompted by a flood of addictive pills in their region.
But following a months-long trial that ended last year, Faber said the companies did not cause any oversupply of opioids, saying doctors' "good faith" prescribing decisions drove the volume of painkillers they shipped to pharmacies. While the companies from 2006 to 2014 shipped 51.3 million opioid pills to retail pharmacies in the communities, "there is nothing unreasonable about distributing controlled substances to fulfill legally written prescriptions," Faber wrote.
"The opioid crisis has taken a considerable toll on the citizens of Cabell County and the city of Huntington," he wrote. "And while there is a natural tendency to assign blame in such cases, they must be decided not based on sympathy, but on the facts and the law." Steve Williams, Huntington's mayor, in a statement called the decision "a blow to our city and community." The city had sought to force the companies to help fund opioid treatment programs.
The companies welcomed the ruling, which AmerisourceBergen said struck down the notion that the distribution of U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs to licensed health care providers could be deemed a public nuisance. Cardinal Health and McKesson in separate statements said the distributors had maintained systems to prevent the diversion of opioids to illicit channels.
More than 3,300 lawsuits have been filed, largely by state and local governments, seeking to hold those and other companies responsible for an opioid abuse epidemic linked to more than 500,000 overdose deaths over the last two decades. The distributors, along with drugmaker Johnson & (J&J) , last year agreed to pay up to $26 billion to resolve the thousands of lawsuits brought against them by state and local governments around the country.
But communities in hard-hit West Virginia opted against joining a national opioid settlement in favor of seeking a bigger recovery. Another trial pitting the distributors against West Virginia communities begins Tuesday in state court. Monday's ruling adds to the mixed record for opioid cases that have gone to trial nationally, with courts in Oklahoma and California last year rejecting similar claims against drugmakers like J&J.
A federal jury in November found pharmacy chain operators CVS Health Corp, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc and Walmart Inc liable in a case filed by two Ohio counties. A New York jury found Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd liable in December in a case by the state and two counties.

A healthy digestive system is one of the most important measures in reaching great health. If we’re not breaking down our food properly then we won’t be able to absorb it properly, leading to all kinds of macro and micronutrient deficiencies. Not only that, poor digestion can also lead to all kinds of unpleasant and even embarrassing symptoms - so optimising your digestive health really is a key starting point to ALL nutrition or healthy eating programmes.
Remember that digestion doesn’t start in the gut, it actually starts long before that in the mouth. When preparing your meal or thinking about food, digestive enzymes are stimulated so food can start to be broken down as soon as it enters your mouth. Ever wondered why we ‘salivate’ when we think about yummy food? Here are my 6 top foods for better digestive health:
1. Fennel
Not only has fennel long been used as a cooking spice in cuisines all around the world, but it has also been used more traditionally as a digestive aid. Fennel seeds contain phytonutrients thought to
have antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties - which is great for anyone that suffers with bloating, gas, stomach cramps, flatulence or problematic bowel movements; all typical IBS type symptoms. Eat raw fennel, drink fennel tea OR chew on ½ teaspoon fennel seeds post dinner to help ease these symptoms.
Try: I love the product DigestZen oil from DoTerra; it doesn’t just strictly contain fennel, but a combination of herbs and spices that aid digestion and maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract. Simply one drop in a small glass of water following a meal will suffice - or mix two drops with a massage oil such as coconut or almond and rub onto the stomach in a clockwise motion before bedtime.
2. Bone Broth
This is a particular favourite of mine for its many health promoting properties - but in the case of digestion it may also help to improve gut integrity and digestive function by repairing the gut lining, which can very often be weakened by modern day diets. This is because bone broth contains gelatin, which is rich in amino acids such as proline and glycine that help to protect and restore gut lining - therefore strengthening the digestive system. Bone broth is also incredibly easy for the body to absorb and is thought to be one of the most healing foods for the digestive tract.
Try: Daylesford Organic Bone Broth , £3.99, or make your own at home.
3. Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut is a fermented food considered to have probiotic properties . Probiotic foods or fermented foods are those which contain-live friendly bacteria and help to maintain a healthy gut. Sauerkraut is from the cabbage family that naturally contains the friendly bacteria, Lactobacilli Plantarum, which promotes better digestive health by helping with IBS type symptoms and bloating. It’s also commonly used to support inflammatory bowel disorders like ulcerative colitis and crohn’s disease. By increasing your intake of fermented foods, levels of probiotic bacteria increase and inhibit the growth of bad bacteria, whilst playing a role in eliminating pathogens, therefore maintaining the natural balance of the gut to allow it to do its basic job of digestion and absorption more efficiently.
Try: If fermented foods aren’t your thing then try taking a probiotic supplement such as Biocare’s Bioacidophilus , £22.30, for maintenance. Good supplements tend to be on the expensive side, hence why sauerkraut and other fermented foods are a much more budget friendly way of consuming probiotic bacteria.
4. Chia
Chia is a source of soluble fibre and can be particularly helpful for people who suffer with constipation. Soluble fibre helps by stimulating the motility of the digestive tract as well as giving stools a looser consistency so things can move along more efficiently. Chia works by swelling when water is added to it and forms a gel-like substance, so you can imagine when this occurs in the digestive tract it helps to bulk up stools. Even earlier in the digestive process, the swelling of chia makes you feel full and therefore you’re less likely to over consume additional calories - making it also a useful ingredient for weight loss programmes.
Try: Accompany chia with plenty of water. Consume one large glass of water with one to two teaspoons of chia to ensure proper transit through the digestive tract (at least one pint of water following chia consumption if you’re constipated).
5. Papaya
Papaya is an enzyme rich food containing papain and chymopapain, which are particularly beneficial when consuming high protein meals. A number of symptoms can indicate that we’re not breaking down proteins adequately, such as flatulence, diarrhoea, bloating, or foul-smelling stools for example. Not only does papaya assist with protein digestion but it’s also a great source of fibre and therefore helps to keep us regular. Fresh papaya can easily be had after meals, but they’re also wonderful to add into smoothies. If you’re not keen on papaya then pineapple is a good alternative!
Try: An easy and on-the-go option is to take a papaya concentrate called Caricol , £13.45, offered by supplement companies such as Nutri. These come in tubes that you can fit in your bag and consume after meals if you’re out and about.
5. Apple Cider Vinegar
Due to the natural acidity of apple cider vinegar it can be used to acidify the digestive tract prior to meals. If stomach acid levels are low then one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar taken in water 20-30 minutes prior to a meal may aid protein digestion in the stomach. In addition, apple cider vinegar is high in vitamins, minerals and bioflavonoids and is thought to have anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties good for overall digestive health. Be careful if you suffer from ulcers however, as apple cider vinegar may irritate them.
Try: Find an organic or raw organic apple cider vinegar such as Biona , £11.87, and add to dressings and sauces for some zing. Apple cider vinegar should also be used if you’re making your own bone broth to help pull minerals out of the bones into the stock water.
Finally – remember to take your time and chew! No amount of good food is going to help with digestion if you’re not chewing it properly. Chewing is the first and most fundamental step to better digestive health - it’s also free!

Rugby-All Blacks lose locks Whitelock, Vaa'i for second Ireland test
Whitelock, who became the All Blacks' second-most capped player at the weekend, could also miss the third test in Wellington on July 16 after reporting a delayed onset concussion following the 42-19 win over the Irish at Eden Park. World Rugby's new head injury protocols preclude players from being selected 12 days following a concussion.
All Blacks locks Sam Whitelock and Tupou Vaa'i have been ruled out of New Zealand's second test against Ireland in Dunedin on Saturday. Whitelock, who became the All Blacks' second-most capped player at the weekend, could also miss the third test in Wellington on July 16 after reporting a delayed onset concussion following the 42-19 win over the Irish at Eden Park.
World Rugby's new head injury protocols preclude players from being selected 12 days following a concussion. "It's not ideal," All Blacks captain Sam Cane told reporters.
"Sam was awesome in the weekend. He became the second most capped All Black of all time which is hugely impressive. "We'll no doubt miss his leadership and what he brings."
Coach Ian Foster will also be without Vaa'i after he tested positive for COVID-19. Patrick Tuipulotu has been called up as a replacement following his recent return from a six-month stint in Japan.

Cricket-New Zealand players sign five-year equal pay deal
The agreement will see women's players at both international and domestic level receive the same match fees as men across all formats and competitions. "This is the most important agreement in our sport, as it binds NZC, the major associations, and our players at the hip, and sets the foundation to fund, grow and develop cricket," said NZC Chief Executive David White.
New Zealand Cricket and the players' association signed a five-year deal on Tuesday that will see male and female cricketers receive equal pay. The agreement will see women's players at both international and domestic level receive the same match fees as men across all formats and competitions.
"This is the most important agreement in our sport, as it binds NZC, the major associations, and our players at the hip, and sets the foundation to fund, grow and develop cricket," said NZC Chief Executive David White. "It's been a collaborative yet very robust negotiation. Importantly, it represents a significant step forward as we continue to grow our investment in women's cricket."
Under the agreement, the number of women's domestic contracts will increase to 72 from 54 while the men will earn higher retainers due to the greater number of matches played, formats contested and time spent training and playing. "It's great for the international and domestic women players to be recognised in the same agreement, alongside the men," said White Ferns captain Sophie Devine.
"It's a massive step forward and will be a huge drawcard for young women and girls."

NASA satellite breaks from orbit around Earth, heads to moon
- Country:
- New Zealand
A satellite the size of a microwave oven successfully broke free from its orbit around Earth on Monday and is headed toward the moon, the latest step in NASA's plan to land astronauts on the lunar surface again.
It's been an unusual journey already for the Capstone satellite. It was launched six days ago from New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula by the company Rocket Lab in one of their small Electron rockets. It will take another four months for the satellite to reach the moon, as it cruises along using minimal energy.
Rocket Lab founder Peter Beck told The Associated Press it was hard to put his excitement into words.
“It's probably going to take a while to sink in. It's been a project that has taken us two, two-and-a-half years and is just incredibly, incredibly difficult to execute,” he said. “So to see it all come together tonight and see that spacecraft on its way to the moon, it's just absolutely epic.” Beck said the relatively low cost of the mission — NASA put it at USD 32.7 million — marked the beginning of a new era for space exploration.
“For some tens of millions of dollars, there is now a rocket and a spacecraft that can take you to the moon, to asteroids, to Venus, to Mars,” Beck said. “It's an insane capability that's never existed before.” If the rest of the mission is successful, the Capstone satellite will send back vital information for months as the first to take a new orbit around the moon called a near-rectilinear halo orbit: a stretched-out egg shape with one end of the orbit passing close to the moon and the other far from it.
Eventually, NASA plans to put a space station called Gateway into the orbital path, from which astronauts can descend to the moon's surface as part of its Artemis program.
Beck said the advantage of the new orbit is that it minimizes fuel use and allows the satellite — or a space station — to stay in constant contact with Earth.
The Electron rocket that launched June 28 from New Zealand was carrying a second spacecraft called Photon, which separated after nine minutes. The satellite was carried for six days in Photon, with the spacecraft's engines firing periodically to raise its orbit farther and farther from Earth.
A final engine burst Monday allowed Photon to break from Earth's gravitational pull and send the satellite on its way. The plan now is for the 25-kilogramme (55-pound) satellite to far overshoot the moon before falling back into the new lunar orbit Nov. 13. The satellite will use tiny amounts of fuel to make a few planned trajectory course corrections along the way.
Beck said they would decide over the coming days what to do with Photon, which had completed its tasks and still had a bit of fuel left in the tank.
“There's a number of really cool missions that we can actually do with it,'' Beck said.
For the mission, NASA teamed up with two commercial companies: California-based Rocket Lab and Colorado-based Advanced Space, which owns and operates the Capstone satellite.

Many of us go through life with symptoms that we view as everyday ailments - indeed, everything from abdominal pains, irregularity and bloating is often considered ‘normal’, when it is in fact a sign of poor digestion. However, by making just a few small changes to our daily life patterns and habits, we can help kick our guts into gear to ensure they successfully digest like they were designed to do. To help get us on the right track, we reached out to Nutritional Therapist, Helen Williams .
“We are essentially one long tube (25-30 foot to be exact) from mouth to anus, and the mucous membrane that lines the gut is our primary interface between the external environment and our body’s internal environment. This mucosal barrier is our first line of defence against pathogens and is designed to allow beneficial things into the circulation and keep the bad guys out - this is one of its most important functions and it comprises around 75-80% of our entire immune system.
“Therefore, how well our digestive system functions will really determine our overall health. When the gut is damaged, all sorts of health problems start to happen - from depression and mental health problems, to auto immune diseases, food allergies and even seasonal allergies.”
Here are Helen’s top 10 tips on how to ensure you gut is kept happy, healthy and digesting effectively.
1. Avoid eating when you're stressed or emotional
“When we are stressed, our bodies go into ‘fight or flight’ mode when the sympathetic nervous system is dominant,” says Helen. “This means the body will shut down digestion in order to divert energy to the brain and muscles in order to respond to the stressful situation. After all, why would you need to digest your lunch when you are ‘fleeing the sabre tooth tiger’.”
However, Helen advises that some simple breathing techniques can be an effective way to combat this. “When we’re anxious or stressed out we tend to breathe through our mouths, which activates our sympathetic nervous system. Breathing through the nose does the opposite and puts us in parasympathetic (rest and digest) mode. So, try closing your eyes and taking three deep breaths in and out through the nose before eating.”
2. Take time to eat
“Digestion begins well before you actually put food in your mouth,” says Helen. “The sight and smell of food will start the digestive process by the production of digestive enzymes in the mouth (the saying “mouth watering” really does ring true).”
“So, think about the food, notice how it looks and smells on the plate. Avoid mindless eating and take time to sit down to eat - don’t have a meal on the run, or while watching TV or sitting at your desk. Sitting down is all you should be doing as your body needs to be in parasympathetic mode (our rest and digest mode) to allow for optimal digestion.”
3. Chew your food
Yes, you heard right - just this simple trick can make your food go down smoother and faster, advises Helen. “This is a simple tip, but one that so many people overlook. Digestive enzymes are secreted in the mouth by your salivary glands and work to start to breaking down food, especially starches (if you chew a piece of bread really well you begin to taste it becoming sweeter, due to the salivary enzymes starting to break down the starch into glucose).
“The physical action of chewing also breaks down the food so that it’s ready to enter the stomach. Try chewing at least 20 times before swallowing each mouthful.”
4. Avoid drinking with your meals
“Drinking liquids can dilute the body’s digestive enzymes and stomach acid,” says Helen. “If you are chewing properly this should provide enough saliva to allow you to eat and swallow comfortably.
5. Start the day with a detoxing drink
“First thing in the morning a glass of warm water and lemon can help kick start the digestion, flush out toxins and put your bowels onto the right track,” says Helen. “If you particularly suffer from reflux or bloating, try taking organic apple cider vinegar before meals to help stimulate digestion. Put 1/2 teaspoon in a small amount of water, swish and swallow before meals."
6. Eat real food and drink
“Really, it’s not rocket science - just eat real food,” says Helen. “Avoid foods that harm the gut and cut out all processed, packaged, refined products and sugar as these can all can cause undesirable changes in the beneficial gut flora and may disrupt the integrity of the gut’s mucosal barrier.
“ Excess alcohol has also been shown to cause increased permeability of the gut lining. So, if you suffer from severe gut issues, then elimination is recommended.”
7. Include fermented foods
“One of my top 3 super foods are fermented foods,” says Helen. “The fermentation process has been shown to make the food more digestible and will introduce beneficial bacteria (also known as probiotics) into the digestive system. Probiotics have been shown to help improve bowel health, aid digestion and improve immunity.”
Helen recommends the following forms as great options for the gut; fermented raw vegetables such as sauerkraut and kimchi, fermented dairy such as kefir and yoghurt and fermented drinks such as kombucha , beetroot kvaas and water kefir.

8. Heal the gut with a good bone broth
“Homemade bone broth (or stock) made from water and the bones of animals (simmered for 12-24 hours) is another of my top three super foods,” says Helen. “It’s considered a healing food in many traditional cultures and is rich in glycine, L-glutamine, collagen and gelatin which support digestion, heal the gut lining and can reduce intestinal inflammation. Drink a cup a day and use as a base in home made soups, sauces and stews.”
9. Abide by the 10 minute mantra
It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon, advises Helen - so take your time and don’t wolf down your food. “Allow time to finish before going for seconds; It takes ten minutes for the message to get from the stomach to the brain that it’s full. So, try to wait at least ten minutes before having a second helping - this will stop you from overeating, which can be a common cause of indigestion.”
10. Exercise
“Go for a short walk after your meal,” says Helen. “Exercise can improve blood flow through the body and helps with peristalsis - the wave-like contractions which move digested food along the gut.”
NB. It is important that if you have any unexplained symptoms such as abdominal bloating or abdominal pain you should first seek medical advice from your doctor or health care provider.

Whether you're working through our Project Me plan or are simply here looking for a healthy dinner recipe, this simple yet tasty vegan stir-fry idea from foodie and nutritional expert Jenna Zoe is just the ticket.
Created for our downloadable Vegan Recipe Guide to complement the Project Me plan, it has everything you need for a sweet 'n' sour, satisfying dinner.
As Jenna says in our guide, "As a rule of thumb, a bitter-tasting vegetable is a powerful blood cleanser. Radicchio is a superstar veggie for this very reason, plus it contains a ton of rare antioxidant compounds that give it that dark purple colour. I like to soften its intense taste with the sweetness of a root veggie, plus lots of oil and some crunch.
This is a meal that tastes decadent but is actually a very light option.” Enjoy.
Ingredients
1 heaping cup butternut squash, cut into cubes about 2 inches thick
1 sage leaf
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 cup radicchio
1/2 rocket
2 tablespoons hazelnuts
(Optional: 1 tablespoon truffle oil, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast. A teaspoon of dried cranberries would be lovely in here too!)
Method
Bring a sautee pan to medium heat and toast the hazelnuts in there for about 2 minutes; set aside. Roughly chop them using a large knife.
Turn the pan upto high heat and pour in the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, lightly fry the sage for about 45 seconds, and then add in the butternut squash cubes, salt and pepper. Stir continuously for about 6 minutes, add in the radicchio and continue to cook for about another 4 minutes, until the butternut squash has turned golden brown.
Toss the rocket with cranberries and truffle oil (if using, alternatively use regular olive oil), top with the butternut and radicchio, and crumble on the hazelnuts. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast.

Tired of mornings filled with bleary eyes, man-sized yawns and coffee breath? If you’ve always dreamed of becoming a morning person full of energy and fervour for the day, we can make it a reality thanks to these expert tips from two of our Get The Gloss Experts .
Andy Puddicombe , co-founder of Headspace is at hand to provide his essential 3-step bedtime wind-down and we asked nutritional therapist Eve Kalinik for her definitive wellness and food dos and don’ts to ensure that our slumbers are kept as nightmare-free as possible. Whether you suffer from work-induced sleep deprivation, anxiety issues or insomnia, it’s time to put your lack of energy woes and early morning demons to bed once and for all...
Eve Kalinik’s energy-boosting rules
1. Don’t eat late at night - our digestive systems are tired much like our minds are, so it’s best to avoid eating too late at night. Sleep is the time where the body should be repairing and regenerating and not digesting and instead building up energy stores for the next day.
2. No caffeine after 4pm the day before - caffeine late in the day can leave your body wired throughout the night which means the nervous system is on high alert when we actually want the opposite. Our adrenaline hormones should naturally fall in the evening to promote sleep so espressos after dinner are a no go if you want to wake up feeling refreshed.
3. Go to bed hydrated - generally speaking when clients say that they are feeling low in energy often it can simply be a sign that they are just not drinking enough water. Just don’t chug back your daily quota right before going to sleep, because then you will be up all night and definitely won’t be full of the joys of spring come the morning.
4. Get an early night - the sleep you get pre-midnight is generally better so where you can, try to get a few nights a week where you are making the most of this.
5. Switch off any electrical, mobile or TV devices in the bedroom - like our mobiles, iPads and TVs, our brains are electromagnetic devices and in order to create a restorative pattern at night, it’s imperative to take these stimulants out of the bedroom.
6. Use aromatherapy oils - lavender and camomile are well renowned for their calmative properties, so using these can help to induce a more relaxed state of sleep. Camomile tea can be very beneficial for putting you into a state ready for slumber. And a good night’s rest means a perkier you in the morning.
7. Coffee change-up - in the morning, start with hot water with the juice of ½ a lemon before you have anything else. Your body will have been working hard overnight, so it needs rehydrating first thing and the lemon acts as a nice kick start for the digestive system. Don’t be tempted to start with a coffee - you’ll be spiking those adrenaline hormones first thing and that’s just setting you up for a crash later in the day. That’s not to say don’t have your one cup a day at all, but just after having eaten breakfast.

Andy Puddicombe’s 3-step sleep meditation ritual
Before going to bed, make sure you have been to the bathroom, lock the door, turn off your phone and done all the other things you usually do before going to bed. If you find it helps, you could even prepare a few things for the morning or make a list of things you need to do the next day.
Having got ready for bed, lie flat on your back under the covers, as if you are about to go to sleep. If you find it more comfortable, place a thin pillow under your head. It doesn’t matter if you usually sleep on your front or side, this exercise is best done lying on your back and you can always flip over afterwards. As you lie there, take a moment to appreciate the sensation of sinking into the bed, the feeling that your body is being supported and that you have reached the end of the day, with nothing more to do.
Once you are lying comfortably, take five deep breaths, breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth, just as you do in the core technique. As you breathe in, try to get a sense of the lungs filling with air and the chest expanding. As you breathe out, imagine the thoughts and feelings of the day just disappearing into the distance, and any feelings of tension in the body just melting away. This will help to prepare the body and mind for the exercise ahead.
Step 1
Begin by checking in, in the usual way, noticing how you are feeling, in both body and mind. Remember that in the same way you can’t rush relaxation, neither can you rush sleep, so take your time with this part of the exercise. Don’t worry if there are lots of thoughts whizzing around (this is absolutely normal) and for now just let them do their own thing. Whatever you do, avoid the temptation to resist the thoughts, no matter how unsettling and uncomfortable they may be.
Next become aware of the physical points of contact in a little bit more detail. Bring your attention back to the sensation of the body touching the bed, the weight of your body sinking down into the mattress. Notice where the points of contact are strongest – is the weight distributed evenly?
You can also notice any other sounds or sensations. Sounds can be especially disturbing when you are trying to go to sleep. At first it is helpful to recognize whether it’s a sound you can change or if it’s something outside of your control, something you do can nothing about. Then, rather than resisting the sound, gently rest your attention on it, remaining present with the sound for 30 seconds or so, before bringing your attention back to the body.
Now try to get a sense of how the body actually feels. At first, do this in a general way. For example, does the body feel heavy or light, restless or still? Then try to get a more accurate picture by mentally scanning down through the body, from head to toe, gently observing any tension or tightness. Invariably the mind will be drawn to any areas of tension, but you can relax in the knowledge that you are about to sleep and that the exercises will help to release those areas. You can do this scan several times, taking about 20 to 30 seconds each time. Remember to notice the areas that feel relaxed and comfortable, as well as any areas of discomfort.
By now you have probably already noticed the rising and falling sensation of the breath, but if you haven’t, just bring your attention to that place in the body where you feel the movement most clearly. As always, don’t try to change the rhythm of the breath in any way, instead allow the body to do its own thing. There is no right or wrong way to breathe within the context of this exercise, so don’t worry if you feel it more in the chest than the stomach. Notice whether the breath is deep or shallow, long or short, smooth or irregular. This doesn’t require very much effort at all. All you need to do is to be aware of the movement.
If the breath is very shallow and hard to detect, you might find it helpful to place your hand on whichever part of the body you feel the strongest movement. And as it rests there, trace the rise and fall as your hand moves back and forth.
As you watch the breath for a minute or two, it’s quite normal for the mind to wander off. When you realise you have been distracted, that the mind has wandered off, in that moment you are back in the present, and all you need to do is gently return the focus to the rising and falling sensation. You don’t need to time this part of the exercise, you can just naturally move onto the next section when it feels as if a couple of minutes has passed.
Step 2
This next part of the exercise is about thinking back through the day in a structured and focused way. Begin by thinking back to the very first moment you can remember of the day, right after waking up in the morning. Do you remember how you felt upon waking? Now, as if your brain has been set to a very gentle ‘fast forward,’ simply watch as your mind replays the events, meetings and conversations of the day. This doesn’t need to be in detail, it’s more of an overview, a series of snapshots passing through the mind.
For example, picture yourself rolling out of bed, turning off the alarm, walking into the bathroom, having a shower, eating your breakfast, doing your meditation, walking to work, greeting a colleague and so on. Take about three minutes to go through the entire day, right up to the present moment. It might seem like a lot to fit into a few minutes, but as I say, this is only an overview of the day, so don’t take any longer than three or four minutes. After a couple of days you will no doubt feel comfortable with the speed of it.
As the mind replays the day, there is the inevitable temptation to jump in and get caught up in the thinking. Perhaps it was a meeting that went really well and you start to think about all the potential possibilities. Or perhaps it was an argument with your boss, and you start to worry about the implications of the discussion. It’s normal for the mind to wander like this at first, but obviously it is not helpful to get involved in new thinking at this time of night. So, as before, when you realise you have been distracted, gently return to the film playing back in your mind and pick up where you left off.

Step 3
Having brought yourself up to the present moment, you can now return your focus to the body. Place your attention on the small toe on the left foot and imagine that you are just switching it off for the night. You can even repeat the words ‘switch off’ or ‘and rest’ in your mind as you focus on the toe. It is as if you are giving the muscles, joints, bones and everything else permission to switch off for the night, knowing they will not be needed again until the morning. Do the same with the next toe, and the next, and so on. Continue in this way through the ball of the foot, the arch, the heel, the ankle, the lower half of the leg and so on all the way up to the hip and pelvic area.
Before you repeat this exercise with the right leg take a moment to notice the difference in the feeling between the leg that has been ‘switched off’ and the one that hasn’t. If there was any doubt in your mind about whether anything was actually happening when you do this exercise, you will feel it now. Repeat the same exercise on your right leg, once again starting with the toes and working your way all the way up to the waist.
Continue this exercise up the torso, down through the arms, hands and fingers, and up the throat, neck, face and head. Take a moment to enjoy the sensation of being free of tension, of not needing to do anything with the body, of having given up control. You can now allow the mind to wander as much as it wants, freely associating from one thought to the next, no matter where it wants to go, until you drift off to sleep.

Optional extra...
It is quite possible that by the time you have reached this point in the exercise you will be fast asleep. If you are, enjoy the rest and sleep well. Don’t worry if you are not asleep though – it is not that you have done the exercise incorrectly. Remember that it is not an exercise to make you go to sleep, but rather an exercise to increase your awareness and understanding of your mind at night.
So, if you are still awake, there are two ways to go. The first is to allow your mind to drift off, in the usual way, freely associating as it wants, without any sense of control or coercion on your behalf. This can feel very nice, but the only problem is that for some it feels a little vague or even disconcerting. If that is the case for you then this final part of the exercise will be a more helpful way to conclude.
Begin by counting backwards for 1000 to zero. This may sound like an impossible task, and a bit too much like hard work. But done in the right way it takes no effort at all. And it is a great way to keep the mind focused as you make the transition into sleep. As before, it is quite normal for the mind to wander, so when you realise you have become distracted, just gently return to whichever number you left off and pick it up from there.
As a final note, it is important that you do this exercise with a genuine wish to reach zero. Do not think of it as a way of getting to sleep, but as an exercise to keep you occupied and focused until the body and mind are ready to switch off for the night. No matter what thoughts arise in the mind, whether they are about going to sleep or otherwise, simply allow them to come and go. Your only intention, your only focus, is to try and make it to zero. And if you should drift off to sleep midway in the process, then that is fine too.

OK, so poo is really not the most pleasant, or indeed sexiest of things to think about, but paying a bit more attention to our bathroom throne ‘accomplishments’ gives us more insight into our gut health than we know. This is because poo is essentially showing us how effectively (or not, as the case may be) we are eliminating waste and other toxic substances as well as how much we are absorbing our food and even signs of more serious conditions.
We take it for granted that our body just gets rid of ‘stuff’ but actually what happens in the process of digestion and elimination is much more magical than that… yes, I said it, folks, poo is magical! I’m not suggesting you need to check your number twos obsessively, but noticing even subtle changes can give distinct clues to any imbalances in the gut and our health overall.
So I’m going to try to help you understand a bit more about what makes up poo and how to score yours. You’ll also see some of my basic pointers on how to try to alleviate symptoms that might be making your daily visits not so pleasant and hopefully have yours become a much more enjoyable experience.
you should experience a sense of elimination ‘euphoria’ and finish with a smile on your face
So let’s start with the basics: what is poo (or a stool to use its official name)? Contrary to what many people believe, it is not simply the remnants of the food that we have eaten. It’s much more interesting than that. Our stools are mostly made up of water (which is why constipation is often simply the result of dehydration), with the remainder being a combination of indigestible fibre, additional toxic substances that the body needs to get rid of (such as medications or cholesterol) and gut bacteria that have come to the end of their natural life. In fact, it is thought that just one gram of a stool contains more bacteria than there are stars in the universe.
To ensure everything is moving as it should, I recommend doing these five checks daily.
Your 5-a-day poo checks
1. Colour
A normal poo is a mid-brown colour, which comes from old blood cells transported out of the body via the stool. If a yellow hue or a clay colour is evident, it can be indicative of an imbalance of bacteria in the gut or it could be liver and gall bladder issues, in which case you should see your GP for further investigation. Bright red specks of colour can be caused by haemorrhoids while darker red or black stools are ‘red flag symptoms’ that should be checked out by your doctor. If you experience pain with your movements or bowels more generally then you should definitely seek further investigation.
2. Regularity
Once to twice a day spent on the bathroom throne is ideal. Any more or less than that means things are possibly not moving through the gut as they should be.
3. Consistency
This is a good indicator of gut health. Ideally, it should look like a long soft log that is like an ice cream in texture. It should be fully formed and should not have too many cracks or be too mushy. Hard little lumps and watery liquid would be the extremes of this. The Bristol Stool Scale is an excellent reference and illustrates perfectly how your poo should look.
4. Efficiency
Movements should be smooth, quick and pain-free. Taking a book into the bathroom should not be a prerequisite!
5. Satisfaction
When you have fully evacuated you should experience a sense of elimination ‘euphoria’ and finish with a smile on your face (not with the feeling that you’ll be back on the throne in 10 minutes).
This is what we are ideally looking to achieve but it seems to be a rare experience for many people.
Common poo problems
Constipation
Infrequent and/or hard to pass movements are said to affect one in seven of us and while a major cause is dehydration, it can be caused by many other factors such as stress.
While we focus on the ideal of a daily poo, we need to be more aware of efficiency, and that means a quick, smooth and easy process. It is the job of the nervous system to trigger an evacuation and if this is not working harmoniously with the other systems in the gut then the whole ‘orchestra’ can go out of sync. Stressful situations and long-distance travel can put bowel movements temporarily on hold. In the case of stress, the bowels tend to ‘hold’ as the body reverts to that knee-jerk, ‘fight or flight’ stress response.
Travel-related constipation is often caused by the excitability of the trip and dehydration – aeroplanes are great at sucking moisture out of the body, and the bowel needs plenty of water for the simple act of elimination.
Ongoing constipation requires deeper analysis. Look into potential gut dysbiosis or undiagnosed thyroid issues, for example, with the help of your GP and a nutritional therapist.
It is always best to try to avoid laxatives because long-term use can disrupt the process of digestion and absorption.
Tick the following three simple things off your list first if you need gentle help with nudging the process.
1. Are you drinking enough fluid? We need on average two litres per day and the bowels use a lot of this, so upping your water consumption can make things a little easier. We also need water to enable fibre to do its job properly, which leads nicely on to the next point.
2. Are you eating enough fibre? We need both insoluble and soluble forms, as they have different benefits in supporting the bowels. Luckily nature has made many fruits and veggies bountiful in both so try to eat a wide variety. Ground linseed or flaxseed can be particularly effective for ‘slow movers’. And lightly stewed apples, which contain pectin, can also be a good bowel regulator.
However, don’t go overboard and suddenly start eating loads of fibre, particularly if your body is not used to it, as you may create other unpleasant symptoms - your aim is to increase movements, not to have a brass band playing down there! Government guidelines say that our dietary fibre intake should be around 30g per day and if you are achieving your five to ten portions of fruit and veg, with some sprouted or fermented grains as well as nuts and seeds, then you should meet your quota.
If you experience more problems when you increase your fibre intake, consider functional testing (a blood, saliva, urine or stool test with a nutritional therapist to gauge how the body is functioning), as you may have bacterial imbalances that need to be isolated and addressed first.
3. Are you stressed? Holding tension in your body means you are holding it in your gut, too. Try including practices such as yoga or meditation in your daily routine to help support relaxation. Fennel tea can act as a nice bowel relaxer so try steeping some seeds in hot water and seeing if that helps.
With that in mind, the recipes and foods in the section of my book Be Good to Your Gut, entitled ‘When it goes out of whack’ can help when the going gets tough – dishes such as Spicy Parsnip Satay Soup, which is a delicious and easily digestible hug for the gut, and Carrot Cake ‘Porridge’ which will help keep things moving along
Diarrhoea
Urgency and/or diarrhoea is an issue for many people. Sometimes there can be a specific reason for having to find a loo pretty swiftly: for example, severe bacterial or parasitic infections, often in the form of food or water poisoning; too much alcohol; laxative abuse; certain medications; or a flare-up of an intestinal disease such as Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis. However, there can be reasons that are seemingly inexplicable and the phrase ‘one man’s food is another man’s poison’ often applies here.
Undiagnosed food sensitivities or intolerances can be another reason for erratic, rapid bowel movements. There may also be underlying imbalances in the microflora of the gut that are shifting the balance towards urgency.
If you suffer from constipation or diarrhoea (some people swing between the two) on a regular basis, and have ruled out other more serious gastrointestinal conditions, my ‘Weed, Seed and Feed’ programme in my book Be Good to Your Gut, helps to reduce or remove triggers and generally support the microbial landscape of the gut and hence better bowel habits.

The cannabidiol (CBD) trend is showing no sign of slowing down in the UK – tampons, beauty products, edibles and lubricants - you name it, there’s likely a version of it now containing CBD.
“It’s amazing to see such innovation in the CBD field, but I am also seeing, and hearing, a lot of confusion from people too, who are trying to understand more about CBD and how it can support daily wellbeing,” says Alexandra Whiteley, an international cannabis consultant and CBD specialist who hosts an industry podcast CannaPod and has consulted some of the largest CBD companies in the world, including Pollen , a next-generation CBD brand which aims to create products designed to fit easily and effortlessly into your daily routine.
“Knowing which CBD product to buy can be difficult if you’re not armed with the correct information. It means many of us end up not buying anything or picking a product that doesn’t suit our needs,” Alexandra continues.
“There are a few key things to look out for so I’ve pulled together my list of ‘CBD must-haves’ to help you feel confident and demystify this wellness trend.”
Look for non-detectable % THC
“Although CBD is the star of the wellness show, it’s important to take note of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) too - another cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. Unlike CBD, which is legal to buy in the UK if sold as a food supplement, THC is a Class B controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
“This compound, when consumed in significant levels, accounts for the psychotropic or ‘high-effect’ many associate with cannabis. CBD, on the other hand, will NOT get you ‘high’ – not even a little bit.
“It should be clearly labelled on any CBD products that the THC is ‘non-detectable’ preferably with a % which indicates the product have been tested by an independent laboratory.”
Check the amount of CBD in your product
“Look out for CBD content in milligrams or as a percentage, rather than just listing it as an ingredient. Look for at least a 10mg dose as a starting point. CBD is expensive because the process of extraction is complex. Brands that use decent quantities should want to make this clear to anyone buying their products as it indicates quality and justifies the price.”
“The most important thing to remember is getting your CBD levels right takes time and consistency. You need to know the strength of CBD used so you can be sure you’re able to manage the amount you're consuming.
“Everyone’s body and reason for taking CBD are different, which is why there is no one size fits all solution, but I would recommend starting with a product that has 10 mg or more per serving. Pollen gummies, for example, have 10 mg per gummy and I would take one of these two to three times per day for at least two weeks before considering upping my intake.
“It’s really important you monitor how you feel daily as this will enable you to understand how and when your body is responding. CBD should be viewed as a regular practice which forms part of your daily wellness regime.”
Look for CBD from broad-spectrum hemp oil
“CBD can come in a variety of different forms; full-spectrum, broad-spectrum or pure/isolate CBD.
“Personally, I would recommend CBD derived from broad-spectrum hemp oil as it has none of the unwanted THC that is present in full-spectrum CBD – which is, in nearly all cases, illegal in the UK anyway. It also has a better flavour and far more plant benefits than isolated CBD. It’s a good middle ground.”
Choose CBD infused gummies over CBD coated ones
“Gummies are a very popular way to take CBD because they’re easy to carry around and quick to take. I would look for brands that infuse or inject the CBD rather than coat or spray it on. The latter can mean that the CBD will come off the gummy and sit as a residue inside the pot, meaning you are getting less CBD than you paid for. Infused products taste better and are more likely to have the stated amount of CBD per sweet.”
"If it’s not clear on the packaging how the CBD is added, then check out brand’s websites, see what reviews say or check how they talk about the development of their product."
Choose water-soluble CBD for drinks and drink drops
“Another thing to look out for if you’re buying a ready-made drink or CBD drops, which are sold to go into drinks, is that the CBD used is water-soluble. Water-soluble CBD means that it is fully absorbed into the drink itself, leaving no oily residue and ensuring you get every precious drop rather than it being left on the rim of the glass, not to mention it having better absorption in your body as opposed to a CBD in oil (like MCT or hemp oil).”
Ensure your product has been independently tested
“ An article in The Times showed that there are a lot of products being sold in the UK that contain less than the stated amount of CBD and more THC[1] so I would stress the importance of checking that your product has been third-party tested. For me, this is one of the easiest ways to ensure your CBD product has been produced in a way that’s effective and lawful and should be clearly labelled on the packaging.
“Ideally it should say that the product is ‘independently tested’, but it’s not a legal requirement. However, reputable and responsible producers will mention it.”
Be prepared to pay more for quality CBD
“Don’t base your decision on price alone because you do get what you pay for.
“It’s important to look at the price you are paying per mg of CBD and compare that to other brands; buying a cheaper product does not mean you are getting a good deal. Lower prices could indicate low levels of CBD and off the shelf solutions that haven’t been tested properly.
“If you want to try CBD without breaking the bank, start with a sparkling drink such as Pollenade, £3/can 15mg CBD - which is comparable to getting a kombucha and cheaper than a Starbucks. Drink this daily for at least a week and monitor how you feel after several days. If you are happy with the results, then move onto products with a higher concentration of CBD.
“Price will always play a part in my decision-making process, but there are so many other things discussed above which are important to consider too and that might mean I spend more to get a quality experience.”
Alexandra Whitely recommends Pollen’s CBD range , which includes a sparkling botanical drink, gummies and drink drops, with prices starting at around £25. Click here to see the full range and buy before Christmas .

Bidens 'shocked' by Chicago-area shooting as White House marks July Fourth
President Joe Biden began Independence Day by sharing a message that looked to the country's future, but quickly had to respond to another mass shooting in the United States.
"Jill and I are shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day," the president said in a statement Monday after at least six people were killed in a shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, during a July Fourth parade.
Biden noted that he had "surged Federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter, who remains at large at this time," and pointed to the gun safety legislation he recently signed into law. "But there is much more work to do, and I'm not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence," he added.
Later on Monday, Biden declined to say whether stricter gun laws would have prevented the deadly shooting when pressed by CNN's MJ Lee. "We don't know the circumstances yet," he said.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who's in California for the holiday, touted the recently signed legislation in her own statement, but added, "Today's shooting is an unmistakable reminder that more should be done to address gun violence in our country."
In remarks commemorating July Fourth with military families at the White House later in the afternoon, Biden made reference to the new gun safety law and the Illinois shooting, saying, "You all heard what happened today. ... Each day we're reminded there's nothing guaranteed about our democracy, nothing guaranteed about our way of life."
The president called on Americans to fight for democracy, while also broadly acknowledging national challenges.
"Our economy is growing, but not without pain. Liberty is under assault -- assault both here and abroad," he said, alluding to the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade last month.
"In recent days, there's been reason to think that this country is moving backwards. That freedom has been reduced. That rights we assumed are no longer -- a reminder that we remain in an ongoing battle for the soul of America, as we have for over 200 years."
Video below: Police describe suspect in Illinois parade shooting
The July Fourth holiday comes amid a challenging time for the nation marked by deepening division, inflation and a recent set of polling showing that the vast majority of Americans across party lines are unhappy with the state of the U.S.
In an AP-NORC survey released last week, 85% of US adults say that things in the country are headed in the wrong direction, with just 14% believing things are going in the right direction. That's a more pessimistic reading than in May, when 78% said things were headed the wrong way and 21% that things were generally moving in the right direction. And currently, both 92% of Republicans and 78% of Democrats are dissatisfied with the direction of the country -- the highest number among Democrats since Biden took office last year.
Video below: Hospital officials give update on shooting patients
Still, Biden attempted to reassure Americans, saying, "I know it can be exhausting and unsettling, but tonight I want you to know we're going to get through all this."
America, he emphasized, is and always will be a "work in progress."
"It has so often been the case that after we've taken giant steps forward, we've taken a few steps backwards. And after doing the hard work of laying the foundation for a better future, the worst of our past has reached out and pulled us back on occasion. But I know this: From the deepest depths of our worst crises, we've always risen to our higher heights," Biden told the crowd on the South Lawn. "We've always come out better than we went in."
Earlier in the day, Biden had released a forward-looking statement about how the "best days still lie ahead."
"The Fourth of July is a sacred day in our country -- it's a time to celebrate the goodness of our nation, the only nation on Earth founded based on an idea: that all people are created equal," Biden said in a tweet. "Make no mistake, our best days still lie ahead."

When it comes to our morning coffees or mid-afternoon pick-me-ups, white tea is giving our usual brew some steep competition. Known as an energy booster with a bevy of health and beauty bonuses, we wanted to know more and so we asked nutritional therapist, Founder of GP Nutrition Gabriela Peacock for her insight into whether the white tea benefits are truly worth trading in our cups of coffees for. Here's what we found out about the low-caffeine tipple...
What is white tea?
“White tea is made from the immature/baby tea leaves that are picked before the buds open,” explains Gabriela. “It tastes more fragrant, milder and somewhat sweeter.”
Does it still have caffeine in it? “It is lower in caffeine than black and green tea and far lower than coffee,” says Gabriela. “It’s a good alternative if you are trying to cut down on caffeine.”

What are the health benefits of white tea?
“White tea is high in antioxidants – a diet full of antioxidants is better for our health and reduces the incidence of disease, including cancer,” comments Gabriela.
“Catechins – a specific group of antioxidants in tea – have been found to lower cholesterol and white tea is full of them. Drinking white tea as part of a healthy, balanced diet will help protect the heart and circulatory system too.”
Is white tea anti-ageing?
As an added bonus, the benefits of white tea work both above and below the skin’s surface. “The antioxidant content of white tea strengthens our immune systems, so can help with oral health, gum disease and more,” comments Gabriela.
“Free radical damage from the sun, stress, and a poor diet can damage the skin and cause it to prematurely age. By scavenging these free radicals, white tea protects the skin and helps to reverse some of the damage. Drinking white tea promotes healthy and radiant skin too.”

Why is white tea better than other forms of tea?
In a nutshell, it provides the energy boost with a spoonful of health and beauty benefits to help us gently wean ourselves off the caffeine freight train.
“White tea is lower in caffeine than other forms of tea, plus it is high in antioxidants as the leaves have not oxidised,” says Gabriela. “It contains a higher content of some polyphenols and is better than green tea at mitigating harm done to DNA - a type of cell damage that can be a precursor to cancer.”
What is the best way to brew it?
Feeling thirsty? Here’s Gabriela recommendation for how to best serve it:
“Some suggest that when brewing white tea, the best practice is to let the boiling water reduce in temperature first - i.e. let it sit for one minute before pouring over the tea leaves/bag. Let the tea steep for at least 4 minutes, but if you have the buds only, add another minute or two for the flavours to truly develop.”
“It's best without milk. Its natural flavour is slightly sweeter so you don't need to add sugar.”

Heard seeks to throw out verdict in Depp defamation trial
Amber Heard's lawyers have asked a judge to throw out the $10.35 million verdict against her in the defamation case filed by ex-husband Johnny Depp, arguing that the verdict was not supported by the evidence and that one of the jurors may not have been properly vetted by the court.
In post-trial motions filed Friday, Heard's attorneys call the jury's June 1 award of $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages to Depp "excessive" and "indefensible." They ask the judge to set aside the verdict and dismiss Depp's lawsuit or order a new trial. Immediately after the verdict, the judge reduced the compensatory damages to $350,000 under a state cap.
Depp sued Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." Depp's lawyers alleged he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned him by name.
The six-week televised trial turned into a spectacle that offered a window into their dysfunctional marriage. Much of the testimony focused on Heard's claims that she had been physically and sexually abused by Depp. Heard described more than a dozen alleged assaults, including a fight in Australia — where Depp was shooting a "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel — in which Depp lost the tip of his middle finger and Heard said she was sexually assaulted with a liquor bottle.
Depp said he never hit Heard and that she was the abuser.
Depp had to prove that he never assaulted Heard, that her op-ed piece defamed him and that she wrote the article with actual malice.
In their post-trial motions, Heard's legal team argued that to find that Heard had actual malice, Depp would have had to show that at the time Heard's article was published, she did not believe she had been abused.
"Instead, the evidence overwhelmingly supported Ms. Heard believed she was the victim of abuse at the hands of Mr. Depp," Heard's lawyers say in their motion.
Heard's lawyers also ask the judge to investigate "potential improper juror service," alleging that one of the jurors who was chosen to serve on the jury was listed as being born in 1945 in documents given to the attorneys before the jury selection process, but is listed as being born in 1970 in publicly available information.
"This discrepancy raises the question whether Juror 15 actually received a summons for jury duty and was properly vetted by the Court to serve on the jury," Heard's lawyers said in their motion.
Depp's attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The jury also awarded Heard $2 million in her counterclaim against Depp, finding that that Heard was defamed by one of Depp's lawyers, who accused her of creating a detailed hoax that included roughing up the couple's apartment to look worse for police.
In some ways, the trial was a replay of a lawsuit Depp filed in the United Kingdom against a British tabloid after he was described as a "wife beater." The judge in that case ruled in the newspaper's favor in 2020 after finding that Heard was telling the truth in her descriptions of abuse.

Joey Chestnut is chomp champ again in July 4 hot dog contest
Frankfurter-munching phenom Joey "Jaws" Chestnut gobbled his way to a 15th win Monday at the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, powering down 63 hot dogs and buns at the annual exhibition of excess.
In a decisive chowdown comeback, women's record-holder Miki Sudo downed 40 wieners and buns to win the women's title after skipping last year's frank fest because she was pregnant.
Monday also marked the contest's return to its traditional location outside Nathan's flagship shop in Brooklyn's Coney Island neighborhood. The event was relocated in 2020 and last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"It's beautiful to be back here" in front of a throng of spectators, Chestnut told ESPN after his feat, which the 38-year-old managed while wearing a surgical boot because of a leg injury.
"It hurts, but I was in the zone for a little bit. I was ignoring it," said Chestnut, but the pain eventually slowed his pace in the 10-minute competition.
Last year, the Westfield, Indiana, resident topped his own record by consuming 76 franks and buns.
Sudo, of Tampa, Florida, set the women's record at 48 1/2 weiners and buns in 2020, before taking last year off while expecting. She and Nick Wehry — a fellow competitive eater whom she met through the Nathan's contest in 2018 — welcomed son Max on July 8, 2021.
From dad's arms, the baby watched his 36-year-old mother notch her eighth Nathan's win. She told ESPN afterward that she hoped he would someday take a message away from it.
"I want to set an example," she said, "to do things that you love and push yourself to your absolute limits and, when things get difficult, to still give it a try. And, you know, you might actually just come out victorious."
Sudo then took over parenting duties while Wehry tried for the men's title.
In conjunction with the spectacle, Nathan's donates 100,000 franks to the Food Bank for New York City.

Vendor Landscape
The global packaging market is fragmented, and the degree of fragmentation will accelerate during the forecast period. The market comprises some well-established players that are involved in the design and production of packaging solutions for various applications across a wide range of industries. These vendors are making significantly huge investments in research and development to push better products into the market and expand their customer base.

Winter is the season of colds, flu and illness. Joy. The lack of sunlight also makes it the depths of low vitamin D season, Public Health England advise that every adult in the UK take a 10mg supplement from October to March. Around 20 per cent of us are estimated to be severely lacking in vitamin D, which we need to absorb calcium, magnesium and phosphate, essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth. It turns out, however, that one form of vitamin D in particular, D3, is more effective. Not only that, but combining D3 with another much-neglected micronutrient, vitamin K2, gives a better boost for bone health.
Why D3 is the key
Vitamin D isn’t a solo act - it’s a family. The two key players being D2 and D3. According to Dr Clare Morrison of online doctor and pharmacy service MedExpress : "D3 is the most effective and important form of the vitamin. The best dietary sources of vitamin D3 are oily fish such as mackerel and salmon, fish oil, eggs (particular the yolks), liver and butter. In addition, the body makes its own D3 when the skin is exposed to direct sunlight."
In a relatively sun-starved nation, getting our vitamin D fix from the sun seems fanciful, so sourcing the most active and usable form of vitamin D from our food is a good move according to Dr Morrison.
You’ll no doubt have clocked by now that edible D3 is derived from animal sources. So what if you're vegan? The other main form of the vitamin, D2, comes from plants. It’s most commonly sourced from mushrooms that have been grown under UV light, and as it’s cheaper to produce. It’s, therefore, the most common form of vitamin D found in fortified foods such as bread and cereal as well as in many supplements.
While D2 is certainly not to be sniffed at, D3 has been shown to be almost twice as effective at raising vitamin D levels overall in the blood. Some studies also suggest that vitamin D2 supplements are more prone to degradation than vitamin D3 options, but conclusive evidence is required.
Many supplements are vegetarian with the D3 sourced from lanolin, such as Better You DLux Vitamin D and K2 Spray £9.95 or Vitabiotics Ultra Vitamin D 1000IU, £5.10 but there is also a vegan option in Nutri Advanced Vegan Vitamin D3 drops , £13.15. As vegans are often lacking in vitamin D, good supplementation is especially important. The D3 is derived from lichen and suspended in medium chain triglycerides to aid absorption.
Whether you’re taking D2 or D3, considering an oil-based supplement is advisable as vitamin D is a fat-soluble micronutrient. Diet-wise this means adding a bit of butter or oil to your eggs, which is the kind of delicious health tip we welcome. The thing is, a fry up alone probably won’t cut it if the latest research into dosage is concerned…
You might need more D than you think
Dr Paul Clayton , the world’s leading expert in pharmaco-nutrition and Director of Science for ‘super supplement’ Lyma (which also contains the vegetarian form of D3 derived from lanolin) told us that 2000 international units (i.u, equivalent to 50mg) of vitamin D3 is in fact considered the optimal dosage. Studies show that this daily dosage cuts the risk of breast cancer , colon cancer and type 1 diabetes in half, and Dr Clayton emphasises that totting up this D3 hit without a good supplement would be quite a tall order:
“These quantities of vitamin D could be achieved through exposure to sunlight, but there's a catch; it would need to be full upper body exposure, for an hour or so, on a very sunny midday; every day.
“The vast majority of us do not achieve this due to work (usually indoor work), clothing, sunblock (because everyone is afraid of skin ageing and cancer), and living in a temperate zone where the sun is never very strong.”
So a supplement can give you a distinct D3 leg up, but a double vitamin act may prove even more effective.
Why D3 and K2 are friends
Dr Clayton explains the relationship:
“Vitamin K2 and D3 are an important combination for bone health, and more specifically for maintaining or improving bone mineral density.
“Vitamin D is ineffective on its own, because although it encourages calcium availability (as well as many other things), the calcium cannot be built into bone unless K2 is also present. In technical terms, K2 activates the bone protein osteocalcin, so that it can bind calcium (and magnesium), thereby transforming osteoid (pre-mineralised bone) to mature, mineralised, load-bearing bone.”
It’s for these bone bolstering qualities in particular that a D3 K2 vitamin duo is particularly important for post-menopausal women , when bone density typically decreases due to a drop in oestrogen levels . Dr Clayton advocates adding a high-quality D3 and K2 containing supplement to your diet as vitamin K is also typically elusive in food (even a healthy, balanced diet to likely to yield only 25% of our RDA of vitamin K2):
“Vitamin K2 is not found in many foods; other than natto (common in Japan) and quark (a Dutch soft cheese). This is one reason why osteoporosis is so common. The rationale for consuming more K2 and D3 together is therefore strong given that so many of us are also deficient in vitamin D too.”
Given the widespread research indicating that many of us of want for vitamin D, is it possible to have too much of a good thing? And how can you tell if you definitely are deficient?
Can you OD on D3?
While you can’t ‘overdose’ on vitamin D3 by way of sunlight (your body will simply stop producing it), Dr Morrison explains that you can have too much of a good thing in terms of supplementation:
“It's important not to exceed the recommended dose of vitamin D3 on the bottle, as too much will cause a buildup of calcium in the body, potentially leading to kidney stones, weakness, thirst, vomiting and confusion.”
As long as you stick to the dosage instructions, however, you shouldn’t encounter any issues. As for knowing whether you’re truly deficient in the first place, Dr Morrison underlines that “mild deficiency doesn't usually cause symptoms, but more severe cases can cause fatigue, depression and pain in the bones and muscles. If you think you may be deficient, see your doctor, who could arrange a blood test if necessary.”
Otherwise, K2 + D3 = harmony.
Disclaimer: Certain supplements are used for different reasons and a one-size-fits-all approach should never be adopted. In addition, pregnant women and anyone on medication should always consult a doctor before embarking on a supplements programme.

She was once the highest paid model in the world and at 51 still has the glowing skin, enviable cheekbones and statuesque poise that keep the modelling contracts coming. She may be genetically blessed, but her battles with mood, food and injury have been hard won. We caught up with her to find out what keeps her glowing.
GTG: You’ve been at the top of your game for more than 30 years - how do you feel in your skin right now?
YLB: “I feel pretty good: calmer, less judgmental of myself. I feel that I could be stronger physically, but that will just take a little more work. I am learning to be patient and not push myself too hard. 51 sounds so old! I actually feel about 23 mentally.”
GTG: The average British woman enters menopause at 51. How do you manage symptoms?
YLB: “I take bioidentical hormones and have also addressed a thyroid issue which has really helped. But my mood was still dark. I started taking Lumity £79 , a health supplement that has a very subtle effect. A few weeks later my three daughters (Amber 26, Saffron, 24 and Tallulah 21) all commented on my calm state. My mood was so much brighter and my muscles, which are normally so painful have been less tense. Like everyone, pressure can get to me. I suppose I am very sensitive to my moods because really all I have ever wanted is to be a calm, graceful hippie, but with a more extensive wardrobe! Of course the reality is somewhat different. I'm more vocal than I ever used to be, but I'm a hell of a lot nicer. There are no magic pills, but we can sometimes really help ourselves in small ways.”
GTG: Have you become more nutritionally savvy since your early modelling days?
YLB: “I love food - always have. Many years ago I decided to become a vegan. I was living in New York and wasn’t really as together as you need to be if you are going to be a vegan. I collapsed one night in a bar and was rushed to a hospital. I later found out that I had malnutrition. Crazy! After that I have eaten everything. I believe in a little bit of what you fancy does you good. I really try to listen to my body. Sometimes I'll ease up on the wheat, sometimes it will be dairy. I don't believe in high fat or low fat diets, just balance. It's amazing what you can tell just by yourself.”
GTG: How important is exercise?
YLB: “I love action but it hasn't always loved me. I have over-trained and paid the price. To be honest, there was a time when I was probably fighting too much (I did Wing Chun - a Chinese martial art - for years) and I ended up in a lot of pain. I now take it easy, I don't do anything for long and I’m constantly moving from one exercise to another. My muscles like to switch on but not off, so I have to keep them twitching. I could go on for days about the mistakes you can make when training and the impact it will have on you later, but I should probably just let go of that.”
GTG: You were badly injured in a road accident in November last year. How did you recover?
YLB: “Amber and I were involved in a charity tuk tuk challenge in India and hit a pot hole (there is a good reason we all drive cars with four wheels). We slid sideways down the road on my left shoulder - and good as my Monsoon dress was, it couldn't save my skin. I broke my scapula and three ribs - the first bones I had ever broken. I honestly just felt lucky that Amber and I were alive. I didn't really care that I had damaged myself. To my astonishment, my skin healed really quickly. It could be all sorts of reasons: cleaning the wound really well, my DNA and taking Lumity I think.”
GTG: In three words, describe your parenting style.
YLB: “I don't think you can narrow it down to three words. Being a parent is the most rewarding, the most challenging and the most educating and enlightening experience. I just feel that we grow together. Maybe we are too close....is that possible? All I know is that I couldn't be described as distant. I'm probably more of an intrusive parent - you know, a pain-in-the-arse parent."
GTG: How has your skin changed over the years and how has the way you look after it evolved?
YLB: “I'm 51, my skin is changing daily. I have to be careful how I sleep. I have been known to have pillow face for a whole day. My routine is the same as it has always been. I have always cleansed and moisturised, but I like to try different products. I think a change can be as good as a rest with regards to skincare. I believe that what you put inside has the biggest effect. Eating well and working up a sweat at least once or twice a week will give you the boost you need. It allows you to process sugar, stress and helps balance your hormones. Being happy is what makes you glow. Skin is sort of irrelevant if you can't see the beauty around you.”
GTG: How do you care for your skin from the inside out?
YLB: “Take a good balanced supplement , eat food with good oil: almonds, avocado, olives. Also, disco dancing, singing and squishing my dogs, I have decided, is really good for you - so I have to do it. A lot!”
GTG: What’s your hero beauty product?
YLB: “ Red wine !”
GTG: You can’t fit that in your makeup bag! What are your go-to products?
YLB: “ Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution makeup remover (£15.25/500ml), Chanel Le Volume De Chanel mascara (£125), Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Cell Repair Night Oil (£55/50ml), Creme de la Mer Genaissance De La Mer Serum Essence (£400 /30ml) - I was given some, it is amazing. I think I may have to remortgage the house for it though.”
GTG: You have experienced depression in the past. Do you still feel down now and then and how do you get yourself out of a slump?
YLB: “It is such a personal thing. I had got in to a deep dark hole yet again, but somehow managed to talk to a friend who encouraged me to see a therapist - a very good move indeed. I thought that I had been dealing with everything that life throws at you well, but I had been suppressing rather a lot. We all have such high expectations of ourselves and life and others. I now am so easy to please. I have lowered my expectations entirely.”
GTG: What are you like in the mornings?
YLB: “I love the morning, I feel like it is my most productive time, although getting out of bed has to now be negotiated delicately and putting socks on can't take place for at least ten minutes.”
GTG: What do you see when you look in the mirror?
YLB: “A beast!”
GTG: Self-confidence has been an issue for you in the past. How have you learned to manage it?
YLB: “We all have our moments - feeling prepared, or as much as is humanly possible helps. I use humour and I find a desire to feel a connection with people helps me. I know that really I can't do anything by myself, I am only as good as the people around me.”
GTG: Growing old gracefully or disgracefully?
YLB: “Disgracefully please! I fully intend to be the biggest pain in the arse if I make it to old age.”
GTG: You’re lucky/talented enough to have had a long career – what do you put it down to?
YLB: “I've always called the shots with regard to what I do - I'm self-employed after all. I was in the right place at the right time and was able and willing to focus. Before I knew it, I was married with kids and that was a huge motivation. I have just been lucky; I probably don't deserve any of it. But you know what? I really appreciate it all.”
GTG: How can we change the conversation about ageing?
YLB: “The older people get, the more interesting they become. What makes us human is our ability to tell stories. Celebrity needs to be more meaningful and less narcissistic. If we all recognised the wonderful characters in our lives, maybe the world would be a richer place with more meaning. Ageing should be celebrated in all walks of life.”
GTG: What does wellbeing mean for you and what counts as a really good day?
YLB: “Wellbeing is how you treat yourself. You can only really do good when you respect yourself. Being thoughtful and being kind is all that matters. Every day is a good day... until something rubbish happens. No, really, every day is a good day.”
GTG: What's the best thing about getting older?
YLB: “Not remembering how badly I've behaved.”

1. Sleep. Obviously.
2. Sex. Mercifully.
3. Hot drinks. If you’re lucky, you’ll manage a swig while it’s still lukewarm.
4. Showers. Improbable but true. I cunningly organised a 9am nap so I could shower while my newborn slept, but my friend Vicky had to be taken aside BY HER OWN MOTHER and informed that she smelled of BO.
MORE GLOSS: The 10 biggest lies that mums tell their non-mum friends
5. Culture. Apart from box sets, on which you have become a world authority.
6. Fashion. “I remember walking past shops when pregnant thinking that as soon as I'd had the baby I'd buy myself a lovely new wardrobe,” says my friend Christina. “I now realise I'm going to be wearing the same clothes forever.”
7. Cleaning. This summer my house has hosted rats, mice, ants and, on one mystifying occasion, a snail in the dining room.
8. (Non-parenting) books.
9. The toilet. You might think you’ve got stress incontinence because your pelvic floor is weaker. In fact, it’s because you drink coffee for nine hours straight and don't even think about going to the loo until you're having a sneezing fit at a pedestrian crossing and - oops - it's too late.
10. Conflict resolution. If you see my husband, tell him I’m not speaking to him.
11. Ironing. The time once devoted to this has now been reallocated to stain removal.
12. Fringe trims. Seriously. I can barely see.
13. Waxing. Continuing on current trajectories, my bikini line will meet my fringe some time in the next two weeks.
14. Finishing conversations. “So I opened the door and there was Brad Pitt, wearing only his swimming trunks and asking if I had any – RUFUS! GET DOWN FROM THE DRINKS CABINET!”
15. Magazines. Can you even remember what it was like to hold one of these?
16. Exercise.
MORE GLOSS: How to lose weight when breastfeeding
17. Any hope of knowing simultaneously where your phone, keys and wallet are. All way down the list of items you can’t leave the house without, below nappies, muslins, feeding cups, changes of clothes, Freddie the Firefly and Sophie the Giraffe.
18. Insurance policy renewal. Troubling, in light of 17.
19. Blow-drying. Brushing is a bonus.
20. Solitude. “I cherish the two minutes I get to go to the loo when someone else is looking after them,” says my friend Sarah. I know, right? Sarah is luuuuucky. A solo loo visit would be like a spa break for me.
21. Spontaneity. Remember when you could just “pop” to the shops? Or organise a last-minute city break? Or meet after work for drinks?
22. Gardening. Tell everyone the rampant weeds are “a meadow”.
23. Handwash items. Goodbye, cashmere.
24. A nice bath. Baths run by me since the birth of my daughter: 427. Baths taken by me: 0. (I once tried getting in with the baby, but she immediately took a dump. I got the message.)
25. Professionalism.
26. Voicemails. If it’s for work, you might listen to it on speakerphone two days later (see above). If it’s your mum – DELETE.
27. Home baking. How did motherhood ever become associated with trays of cupcakes? I consider it a great achievement if I make it to Marks & Spencer.
28. Community spirit. I'm just about willing to take a parcel for next door, but the Residents' Association can forget it.
29. Travel. This must be why people buy caravans.
30. Thank-you cards. How do people churn so many of these out? When my daughter was born I decided to start with the most random people - my work colleague’s mum who’d knitted a cardigan - and work backwards. Which is why all the ones for our closest friends are still sitting, unsent, in a drawer and my mother-in-law is probably still wondering whether we got the clothes.
31. Highlights. Thank heaven for the dip-dye trend .
32. Food I’m so sick of meal planning at this point, I’d rather not bother than make one just for myself.
33. Illness. Not that you don’t get ill, you just have to ignore it. (See also 41)
34. A social life. Although at least this reduces the risk of…
35. Hangovers. **Shudder**
36. Eyebrow-plucking. Deprioritised because, thanks to hormonal change, you have your upper lip to keep on top of as well now.
37. Diets.
38. Makeup. Apart from on public transport. I’m so used to doing mine on the Tube on the way to wherever I’m going, I don’t think I could actually do liquid liner on dry land any more.
39. Birthdays. Mine, yours, those of beloved family members.
40. Price comparisons. Whatever it is, I’ll pay it. Just don’t make me do more research.
41. Man flu. “Before kids I'd buy treats, be loving and caring whenever my husband was ill,” says Becky. “Now I just want to kill him and end all of our suffering.”
42. Learning anything that isn't to do with babies.
43. Procrastination. Do it now, or forget it forever.
44. Pedicures. You might not want to take your shoes off for a year or so. Recently, I changed my toenail polish while my friend Corina was over and the nail on my big toe actually came off (turns out, fungal infections are a common side effect of pregnancy). “Oh my God,” said Corina, rushing out of the room and vomiting into her mouth. “I wasn’t prepared for that.”
45. Hobbies. Don’t be ridiculous.
46. Computer back-ups. Along with 17 and 18, the reason I live in fear of burglary.
47. Outfit deliberations. If it seems to fit, put it on.
48. The truth. Look, I don’t lie... but does Daddy really need to know about the parking ticket I forgot to pay, the forbidden chocolate biscuit I gave the baby at lunch, the fact that I let her explore under the tables in a beer garden and she returned to present me with a cigarette butt? (I'm not making this s*** up, by the way. That's just the list from the past three days.)
49. Feminism. There’s probably a political issue underlying this list somewhere, but who has time to work out what it is?
50. The Pill. Which should be fine, see 2, except that sometimes you do find time for 2. And so it all begins again…

Your weight, your height, BMI, even your cholesterol count are figures that most of us have come to take for granted. Yet another statistic is cropping up with alarming frequency among women: their egg count. Anyone in their thirties or early forties is likely to have been party to conversations with female friends about the state of their ovarian reserve. Tests to count their egg supply – a marker of fertility – have become de rigeur among women who have put motherhood on hold to focus on careers, travel and relationships.
I have friends for whom it is of palpable relief to learn through private tests that they have not left it too late to have a baby and can freeze eggs if they choose to; others who are distraught to discover that their egg supply is so limited it severely reduces their chance of conceiving.
They are not alone in clamouring to know where they stand. According to Dr Amin Gorgy, a fertility consultant at the Fertility and Gynaecology Academy in London , such tests are soaring in popularity. “Five years ago we had very few enquiries about egg freezing,” Dr Gorgy says. “And we had very few patients coming for egg count fertility checks – mostly due to lack of awareness about their biological clocks.”
What’s also changed is the age at which women are seeking to find out their egg count. Overall, enquiries about egg freezing and the number of women opting for egg checks has increased by 200 per cent in the last 12 months. But the sharpest rise is among younger women aged 25 to 30, among whom the trend has exploded by 300-400 per cent in a year. In fact, says Dr Gorgy, the average age of women opting for an egg count has dropped from 37 to 33.
Increased awareness about fertility issues has, he says, played a part. Surveys conducted by private clinics suggest that most women considered fertility checks purely based on medical reasons five years ago. But there has been a significant shift. Around 70 per cent of Dr Gorgy’s clients want to find out more about their fertility because of social reasons such as “their careers, or the fact they’re not confident about their current relationship”.
According to Dr Gorgy, the average woman’s egg count is in steady decline from childhood which means that, although she can be born with a supply of two million eggs, there are only around 300,000 left by the time she reaches a child bearing age. And the older a woman gets, the more likely it is that her remaining eggs are damaged or abnormal.
Keeping a check on supplies “is a good thing”, according to Dr Gorgy, who says his tests are two-pronged and involve a vaginal scan and a hormone assessment. Indeed, the latest ‘fertility phenomenon’ has been fuelled by companies in the US like Google, Apple and Facebook who are considering the controversial possibility that young female employees might be offered the novel perk of freezing their eggs.
For some women, though, the results can be devastating. “I met my husband when I was in my late thirties and we were desperate for a baby,” says 44-year-old Sara from London. “We went to a private clinic where they told me my egg count was low for my age and it prompted panic. Despite having IVF twice, we failed to conceive and I am convinced it is partly due to the stress of my egg count.”
Bodies such as the British Fertility Society say it is important for women to realise that egg counting is not an exact science, that an estimate is the best women can hope for – whatever their age. And, just as a low egg count doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant, so freezing your eggs is not the same as freezing time. It won’t necessarily result in conception.
So is it better not to know? Some, like Sara, might argue that is the case. “It can bring an overwhelming sense of hopelessness before you start,” she says. “There’s something to be said for putting your faith in nature and not knowing.”
Dr Gorgy thinks otherwise. More women becoming aware of their “fertility potential” can only be a good thing, he says. “Many women are still coming in when it’s just too late,” Gorgy says. “If women want to freeze their eggs, they need to start thinking about it when they’re about 25 not 35. Medically speaking, younger eggs are better.”
Dr Amin Gorgy practises at the Fertility and Gynaecology Academy in London where they offer a range of fertility services including egg freezing and IVF.

As if going for gold was not enough pressure to bear on their shoulders, members of Team GB and Olympians from other countries had an additional challenge to face in Rio: Zika. The mosquito-borne virus can cause crippling birth defects and neurological disorders in newborns as well as unwanted symptoms in adults. It’s a risk that was taken seriously by the British Olympic Association whose medical experts liaised with researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) before deciding Team GB should go to Rio.
However, not everyone was convinced by the protective guidelines that were produced. As many as 14 male golfers, including Team GB’s Rory McIlroy, pulled out of the Rio Olympic Games through fears surrounding Zika and others expressed concern that precautionary measures might not be enough to protect them against the risks. Jessica Ennis-Hill decided not to take her husband Andy and two-year-old son Reggie to Rio because of the Zika scare. Instead, she took her family to Spain where she trained before jetting off to the British training Camp near Rio alone. “Obviously I am concerned and I do think about it,” the heptathlon star said in June. “Certain elements of it worry me, so we’ve decided we’re going to train in Europe.”
Likewise, Susie Verrill, the girlfriend of current Olympic champion long jumper, Greg Rutherford, said the couple made the decision that she should stay at home with their young son rather than risk infection from the virus. “We’re not ones to worry unnecessarily, but after more than 100 medical experts stressed the Games should be moved to prevent the disease from spreading, this was a huge factor in us choosing to stay put,” Verill wrote recently in the online magazine Standard Issue. “We’ve also made the decision to have Greg’s sperm frozen. We’d love to have more children and with research in its infancy, I wouldn’t want to put myself in a situation which could have been prevented.”
What about the rest of us? Should we travel or stay put? Here, we examine the facts with the help of Jimmy Whitworth, Professor of International Public Health at LSHTM.
WHAT IS ZIKA?
“Zika is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito,” explains Professor Whitworth. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on a person already infected with the virus, and can then spread the virus to other people through bites.
HOW IS THE VIRUS SPREAD?
Besides via the infected mosquitoes themselves, the virus is transmitted through human-to-human contact, through sexual activity and between mother and child during pregnancy. What’s worrying is that Zika can be transmitted through sex even when a partner shows no symptoms - the virus is contagious both before and after symptoms become apparent. But Professor Whitworth stresses that “the risk of sexual transmission is thought to be very low”. He says that “there have been a small number of suspected cases of transmission via blood transfusion, and blood safety measures are in place in the UK”, but despite a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine in June raising the possibility that it could be transmitted by oral sex - potentially even by kissing - if it is present in saliva, he says “there is currently no evidence of the virus spreading through social contact such as kissing, hugging or handshakes”.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?
In adults, symptoms of the virus include low fever, low energy, chills, red eyes and a rash. It has also been linked to Guillain-Barré syndrome, a condition that causes temporary paralysis in adults. However, the infection is normally very mild and it’s been estimated that only around one in five infected people develop symptoms - many might be transmitting it to others, unaware that they’ve been infected.
WHAT IF YOU ARE WORRIED – IS THERE A TEST FOR IT?
British GPs are on heightened alert and ready to prioritise potential cases. “Blood tests can be carried out to check for the virus – these are usually recommended for people who have travelled to an area with Zika and have had Zika-like symptoms,” says Professor Whitworth. Tests are sophisticated and need laboratory diagnosis – there is certainly no accurate high street diagnosis.
WHERE ARE THE RISKIEST PLACES TO VISIT?
Zika had previously been detected in Africa, Asia and the Pacific Islands, with the latest outbreak occurring in the Caribbean as well as parts of North and South America also affected. High population cities are great breeding sites for the mosquito and it is rarely found more than 100m from human habitations. Brazil has the largest-known outbreak but, as summer temperatures rise, the offending mosquito is also to be found in southern states of the USA including Texas, Louisiana and Florida where cases have been confirmed. Public Health England (PHE) has provided a comprehensive list of affected areas ( www.gov.uk ). “Countries in Southern Europe, including France and Italy, need to be especially vigilant and it’s important that holidaymakers follow public health advice while abroad, including taking all the necessary precautions to avoid getting bitten,” Professor Whitworth says. There have been isolated cases in the UK, but “there is virtually no chance of there being an epidemic here”, he says. “The risk to the UK is very low,” Professor Whitworth explains. “The mosquitos that spread Zika are not found naturally in the UK - our climate is too cold, even in summer.”
HOW LONG DOES THE VIRUS STAY IN YOUR BODY?
Studies are still being conducted to fully understand how long Zika stays in semen and vaginal fluids, but experts believe it may survive in semen longer than other bodily fluids such as saliva and breast milk. “We don’t have definitive evidence on exactly how long it remains, but we do know that it can remain for a few months,” Professor Whitworth says. “Current advice from Public Health England is for a man to practice safe sex for six months following the start of Zika virus symptoms.”
IS THERE A PROVEN LINK THAT ZIKA CAUSES MICROCEPHALY?
In babies born to mothers infected by Zika, the virus has been linked to microcephaly – unusually small heads and brain damage – as well as other congenital problems. In April, scientists at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concluded in a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine, that the virus is indeed a cause of these severe foetal brain defects. “There is now a proven link between Zika and microcephaly as well as other birth defects,” says Professor Whitworth “Pregnant women and couples looking to conceive should think twice about travelling to parts of the US and anywhere active Zika transmission could occur.”
IS THERE PREVENTATIVE TREATMENT FOR IT?
There is currently no vaccine against the Zika virus although pharmaceutical companies are making great efforts to produce one. If you are planning a baby or if there is the slightest chance you might get pregnant, the advice is to consult your GP before travelling to any places where the risk of Zika might be high. For all travellers, prevention comes down to fastidious avoidance of mosquito bites by the usual methods. If you are going to a high risk tropical area, make sure the ingredient list includes either DEET (20 to 50 per cent) or PMD. Also cover up with long-sleeve tops and lightweight trousers, preferably treated with insecticide.
ARE YOU IMMUNE ONCE YOU’VE HAD IT?
“People who have recovered from Zika virus infection are thought to have immunity from the virus, but it is not known how long this immunity lasts,” Professor Whitworth says.
IS THERE A SAFE TIME TO TRAVEL DURING PREGNANCY?
In short, no. Doctors initially believed that the first trimester of pregnancy was the riskiest for expectant mothers, but more recent studies have suggested that infection with the virus later in pregnancy can be as risky for the unborn child.
IF YOU ARE NOT PLANNING PREGNANCY, WHAT’S THE RISK?
“It’s important to remember that Zika is generally only a minor health risk to most people,” Professor Whitworth says. “Four in five of those infected experience no illness and, in those that do, symptoms are usually limited to fever and mild joint pain. If you are not pregnant or not thinking of getting pregnant, then Zika is not something to overly worry about.”

There’s a certain irony to writing a column called Doing It All about not doing it. But when Saira Khan revealed on Loose Women that she’d lost all desire for sex with her husband since giving birth, I understood.
I’m not saying I’m in that situation myself! As regular readers will know, I’m a very private person * cough * * cough *. But I’ve got this friend, we’ll call her “Gemma Hartley”, who had her second baby a few months ago, is still writing regularly for a leading UK website, and does not have a cleaner or nanny or personal trainer or EVEN ONE SECOND TO HERSELF TO GO TO THE TOILET SO BACK AWAY WITH YOUR SEX DEMANDS, PLEASE.
Sorry for the outburst. I feel very empathetic towards Gemma because we’re so close. Here’s why she feels about as sexy as a bucket of dirty nappies.
1. The ever-simmering cauldron of resentment
Things Gemma and her husband have rowed about today: what the toddler is having for breakfast, what to do this weekend, whose turn it is to do nursery pickup, who spends what from the joint account, who puts what into the joint account, where the baby should have its nap, the missing cupboard door. Things Gemma and her husband have agreed upon today: they do not like each other enough to have sex.
2. The baby sleeping in the bedroom
“I”m close! I’m close! I’m close! I’m -“
“Waaaaah.”
You try coming back from that.
3. The boobs
It is said that exclusive breastfeeding is up to 98% effective as a contraceptive. For many couples, this rises to 100% as you both pretend that the parachute-like nursing bra is fine, swerve awkwardly around each other trying to ignore fact that the boobs exist, and finally give up when the stupid things start projectile-squirting milk everywhere anyway.
4. The utter lack of sleep
The average new mother thinks about sleep every seven seconds. Good luck trying to get her to hook up with you once she’s gone to bed at night.
5. The utter lack of time
If you can’t get the whole way through a cup of tea while it’s still hot, what are the chances you’ll make it to orgasm?
6. The obsessive nesting
The other day, Gemma was organising her sock drawer when her husband came in and got amorous. She knew she should choose sex over socks. But there was only 15 minutes to go until the baby woke from its nap, and they weren’t going to pair themselves.
7. The spare tyre
When you’re still half a stone over your pre-pregnancy weight and catch yourself looking at your Somalian neighbour thinking, “`i wonder if you have to be Muslim to wear an abaya?”, you probably don’t have a whole lot of confidence about getting naked with somebody. According to my friend *reflexively squeezes spare tyre*.
8. The drudgery
How sexy does anyone feel when they spend their days dealing with a never-ending supply of snot, drool, puke and worse? Just typing that sentence, I feel like I can never have sex again.
9. The downstairs issues
There’s nothing like having a child’s head pass through your nether regions to turn you off the idea of ever having anything in there again. One friend of mine found that she’d actually closed up a few months after birth, in an impressive display of mind over matter.
10. The sad lack of booze
There is an answer to all this, of course: import-strength gin, and plenty of it. But with the possibility of getting your baby drunk on a night-time feed - or even just waking with a hangover to start your day at 5.45am… no sensible mother is going to get ruined.

When I tried breastfeeding with my first child, I got into a painful mess, broke the Guinness World Record for the number of times anyone has had mastitis and worried constantly that I was starving my baby. However, roll on to baby number two and she was more or less exclusively breastfed, and even doubled her birth weight at six months old.
When it works, breastfeeding is convenient, cheap and healthy for mums and babies. But when it doesn't… hoo, boy. With World Breastfeeding Week this week (1st to 7th August), here are just a few of the things nobody mentioned beforehand.
1. Breast isn’t always best
Watching my firstborn rooting around for milk the first time was nothing short of awe-inspiring. How did she know what to do? How did my body know to produce this gross yellow stuff? Lo, how the miracle of nature… actually, that’s about as much romanticising as I managed, given that my undercarriage was still being stitched up.
For a time, everything went swimmingly but after about four months we started to have problems. The baby started crapping the colour of wheatgrass (see breast pumps, below). As she dropped steadily through the weight centiles, health visitors talked about a “failure to thrive”. There were times when I would actually cry out from pain as she latched on, so sharp was the pinch as she tried desperately to get the nourishment she needed.
Yet the idea that Breast Is Best was so firmly lodged in my sleep-deprived mind, that I was ready to bludgeon to death anyone who suggested trying a bit of formula, or weaning the baby early. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great slogan - rhymes and everything. Just maybe needs a little asterisk: *except when it’s the worst.
2. Breast pumps are not your best friend.
I was SO FRICKING PLEASED WITH MYSELF for buying an electric breast pump. “This is the key to my independence!” I thought, as I handed over £120 I didn’t have. Honestly, I would have paid double.
As a fully paid up disciple of Gina Ford, I used to awaken at 6.45am, drag myself out of bed and slump into a chair in the baby’s room, pumping out 60ml or so before she’d even woken up. (Although usually not before my husband had woken up and done his world-class impression of the angry duck noise it made.)
The expressed milk was put into the freezer for a later date, then carted around to relatives’ houses - proudly placing it into their fridges alongside the cheese and the raw chicken - if ever they were looking after her. Because heaven forfend a drop of Aptamil formula should pass my daughter’s lips.
Before long, though, I started to get competitive about it. If I’d managed 60ml, surely 80ml was better. Today, 100ml! Now 125ml without even trying! Soon I had chronic oversupply. The baby was getting too much watery foremilk, and I was getting mastitis. Which I figured I could express out…
Now, clearly, the problem wasn’t the breast pump, the problem was that I am an idiot. But I do wish someone had pointed out that they’re a useful occasional tool, rather than a way of life.
3. You have to take the baby everywhere.
My baby went on her first hen party at 6 months old, because if I’d left her with somebody else from 2pm to 2am we both would have died. She’s also very experienced with business meetings, but can’t be trusted in a hairdresser’s, which is why I now sport a huge dark stripe down the centre of my head, like a sort of reverse Cruella De Vil. (And yes, in case you’re wondering, I DID give her a bottle when she was small to make sure that she would take one; unfortunately, since then she has changed her mind and goes rigid and screams her head off if you try to go anywhere near her with an artificial teat. #FAIL)
4. People are weird about it.
If I had a quid for every time someone had suggested to me that “you might be more comfortable over there in the corner” I would be able to afford at least six months of organic formula. It’s probably well meaning, but it always feels like they’re saying that THEY would be more comfortable if you were in the corner. Or another room. Or the toilet (we’ve all done it).
One elderly couple actually came up to me in a motorway service station and told me how nice it was to see somebody breastfeeding in public, and how their daughter-in-law hadn’t managed it, and wasn’t that a shame - an exchange that I managed to get through by freezing a rictus grin on my face instead of screaming “PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, GET THE FRICK OUT OF HERE AND GO BACK TO BITCHING ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER IN LAW IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN VAUXHALL ZAFIRA LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE”.
In fairness to the people who just do not know where the heck to look, it is hard to do without flashing a bit of tit. You can try to shroud yourself in a scarf, but if the baby’s trying to have a look at what’s going on outside, it’s difficult to avoid brexit (breast… you get the idea).
5. It will leave your boobs looking like empty football socks.
When I was breastfeeding I saw a guy who had had his earlobe split by a massive tunnel earring. As I gazed rudely at the two stringy lobes of flesh that were literally blowing in the breeze, it occurred to me that this is pretty much what my boobs look like now. Unsupportive feeding bras have made them so droopy that I’m actually considering giving up on bras altogether and simply tying them together in a decorative bow.
6. You don’t have to use the 'Hollywood hold'.
The classic image of breastfeeding is to cradle the baby sideways, its head resting on your elbow. That’s still how I feed most of the time but if you’re having problems, it turns out there are about 17 other ways you can try that might feel more comfortable. Leaning right back propped up on cushions helped me when I had oversupply. The lying down and rugby holds are good at spreading the pressure around different parts of the nipple while you’re still getting used to it. Sitting the baby up on your knee facing you is awesome at preventing wind. *makes sign of cross at mention of newborn babies and wind* Because we nearly always see the cradle hold, it’s easy to forget there are other options.
7. You can always try again.
Having screwed up so titanically the first time, I never thought I’d get very far with breastfeeding another baby. It still hurt on occasion, but I hardly ever felt compelled to tell a stranger that “I’m the world’s shittest breastfeeder”. In World Breastfeeding Week, I’ll drink to that.

A 27-year-old Austin man drowned Monday in the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels.
New Braunfels police and fire department personnel responded to a call on the 1400 block of Gruene Road along the Guadalupe River of a possible drowning around 5:35 p.m., according to a news release.
When they arrived, Pablo Daniel Calzada Rodriguez already had been pulled out of the water. It was not known how long Rodriguez had been under water, the release said.
Life-saving measures were performed and Rodriguez was taken to Christus Santa Rosa Hospital New Braunfels where he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy has been ordered, but the release indicated the incident was an accident.

Maya* hadn't felt able to tell staff at the hospital where she had her daughter that she was a rape survivor. It wasn’t the sort of thing that came up while a midwife was taking your blood pressure. But when she went into labour, the feeling of being out of control of her body reminded her strongly of the traumatic attack. She had flashbacks of the rape and began actively trying to stop her contractions. “If you relax, it’ll be over more quickly,” a midwife told her - unwittingly echoing a phrase the rapist had used.
Last week, the first maternity clinic for rape survivors opened in London. Designed to help women like Maya, it’s the brainchild of Pavan Amara - who started the My Body Back project after realising that she wasn’t alone in avoiding routine healthcare screenings years after being raped. “I told a Rape Crisis counsellor how I felt unable to visit my GP for things like STI testing or contraceptive fitting and removal,” Amara says. “They said it was totally normal, but it wasn’t being spoken about so I decided to interview other women about their experiences. Half said they hadn’t attended any cervical screening since being raped, a third hadn’t felt able to have the contraceptive they’d wanted, and many hadn’t been for STI testing because it reminded them of the attack.”
What was needed, she decided, was a specialist clinic that would put women in control of procedures such as smear tests. With no clinical background herself, she faced an uphill struggle to set one up, finally receiving an offer of help from Dr Jill Zelin, consultant physician at Barts NHS Trust. The trust launched a pilot project in August last year at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, offering smear tests and STI testing in a way that was tailored to rape survivors.
Each woman attending the My Body Back clinic is given an advocate to discuss her needs and wishes, although there’s no need to talk about her sexual assault. Her appointment will last at least an hour rather than the rushed ten-minute slot at a GP’s surgery, and she can control the environment where the test takes place - for example by bringing aromatherapy, comforting items or music from home. She can work up to the appointment itself, coming to look at the room and equipment beforehand if she wants to and the team can even help her to do the test herself if she really doesn't want to be touched.
Feedback from the 700 to 800 women the clinic has helped so far is very positive - but working with them, Pavan Amara was aware that much more could be done. Particularly for women such as Maya, who revealed how hospital staff had been quite angry with her for trying to fight her labour. “She was treated as a very difficult patient. When she finally told them why, she overheard people talking about how maybe she was making it up, using it as an excuse,” Amara says. “By the time her baby was born she felt so awful, she couldn’t bond with him. She avoided her postnatal appointments and couldn’t even bring herself to seek breastfeeding support because she’d had such a difficult time.”
A mum-to-be who goes to the My Body Back maternity clinic will get a radically different experience from what Maya went through. The key element is that where possible she in control of what happens. She’ll first meet with an advocate from the project, to plan the birth and how to avoid any possible triggers. “It might cover body positions, the type of phrases she wants clinicians to use, breathing techniques, how she wants to be touched, how she wants vaginal examinations to proceed,” Amara explains.
The clinic will also offer antenatal classes and breastfeeding support for women who have experienced sexual violence. The first patients were even sent away with goody bags donated by Lush. Everything is geared towards giving mothers a positive and empowered experience of pregnancy and birth.
Patients come from all over the UK and Amara - who is now training as a nurse - admits she finds it tough to turn away those who contact her from other countries, like India and Ireland, who aren’t eligible to use the NHS.
There is hope, though, that the publicity around the opening will remind clinicians everywhere that there’s a good chance any woman in front of them may have experienced sexual violence - and think twice before they tell anyone to (as one woman who contacted My Body Back reported) “grow up and get on with it”.
Giving birth is such a huge moment in anyone’s life. A bad experience can make it so much harder to take on the challenge of becoming a mother; but in the right circumstances, it can change your relationship with your body for the better. It can give you not just a baby, but your body back.

Hutchinson steps up
Re: “Aide: Trump dismissed threat of violence during riot,” Front Page, Wednesday:
As expected, Donald Trump, Sean Hannity and other Republican deniers are quick to attack and discredit Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony to the Jan. 6 committee as rumors, hearsay and gossip. Maybe it contains some of these elements.
I will say this: She is the only Republican to man up about Jan. 6.

Can’t put us all in jail
What if all the doctors, nurses, medical technicians and staff continued providing health care as usual, ignoring the Supreme Court and Texas abortion law?
What if hospitals and clinics stayed open, providing women’s health care as they have always done? What if pharmacies continued to supply “morning after” pills? What if insurance companies continued to pay claims to medical providers?
What if women continued to seek and receive appropriate health care, based on their doctor’s advice and their own personal wishes?
What if district attorneys just said, “No. I’m not going to prosecute someone for practicing/receiving needed health care.” What if juries just said, “Not guilty!” when confronted with such misguided cases?
Really, Texas can’t put all of us in jail.

Isn’t this anarchy?
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar and District Attorney Joe Gonzales have stated they will not enforce the rulings and law on abortion because they don’t agree with them.
If they can’t do their job they need to resign or be impeached. We elected them to enforce the law, not just pick and choose what they agree with.
Isn’t that anarchy?

According to the NHS, around 1 in every 80-90 pregnancies is ectopic in the UK. This is around 12,000 pregnancies a year. Yet, their causes, symptoms and treatment are relatively unknown.
Requiring careful surveillance, early detection is key, so we asked top fertility specialist Dr Santamaria of IVI Fertility to provide his advice on spotting the signs to best equip you with the tools needed to safeguard your health as best as possible. From their prevention to their prevalence, here’s what you need to know.
GTG: What causes ectopic pregnancies?
Dr Santamaria: “An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that has implanted outside the uterine cavity. This mostly occurs in the Fallopian tubes but can also occur in the ovaries, inside the abdominal cavity and even in other locations of the uterus such as the cervix or in the uterine wall.
“Although the causes of ectopic pregnancies are not fully known, a dysfunction in the movement of the Fallopian tubes, generally caused by a previous infection or inflammation, is one of the most frequent causes of ectopic pregnancy. Endometriosis, hormonal imbalances or abdominal surgeries have also been linked to causing pregnancies of this nature. Ectopic pregnancies are not hereditary – anyone can have them.”
GTG: How common are they?
Dr Santamaria: “The amount of ectopic pregnancies has increased over the last decade, particularly because the number of people with sexually transmitted diseases has risen.”
GTG: What are the symptoms to look out for?
Dr Santamaria: “Aside from regular pregnancy symptoms - such as a missed period and morning sickness - symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy can involve tummy pain, vaginal bleeding and, sometimes, shoulder tip pain (an unusual pain felt where your shoulder ends and your arm begins). These symptoms usually develop between the 4th and 12th weeks of pregnancy.”

GTG: What should you do if you suspect that you have an ectopic pregnancy?
Dr Santamaria: “Ectopic pregnancies must be very carefully surveyed, so if you think you are suffering from one you must visit your local GP or visit a doctor immediately.”
GTG: What can happen as a result of having one?
Dr Santamaria says: “In some cases, no treatment is needed as the ectopic pregnancy will stop with no intervention. However, when this doesn’t happen, they have to be treated medically or even surgically.
“The administration of a drug called Methotrexate is usually effective in treating ectopic pregnancies. If this medication fails, the pregnancy becomes more developed or if there is abdominal bleeding due to a rupture of the tubes, surgery is the best form of treatment. In these particular cases, ectopic pregnancies may represent a life-threatening problem and will require an emergency surgical intervention.”
GTG: Is there any way to prevent them?
Dr Santamaria: “You can't prevent an ectopic pregnancy, but you can reduce the risk of one by wearing appropriate contraception (condoms) to avoid sexually transmitted diseases, or falling pregnant altogether when you are not trying for a baby.”
MORE GLOSS: The modern woman’s guide to contraception
GTG: Can they affect your fertility in the long-term?
Dr Santamaria: “If an ectopic pregnancy is treated early on, and only medical treatment is required, usually it doesn’t affect a woman’s fertility. However, an ectopic pregnancy indicates that there is a problem in the Fallopian tubes, and this is a problem that can lead to infertility.
“Surgical treatment for ectopic pregnancies usually consists of removing the affected tube or ovary. In some cases, when an ectopic pregnancy is implanted in the cervix, uterus or in the uterine wall, the removal of the uterus is necessary, leading to permanent infertility.”
GTG: If you’ve had one ectopic pregnancy, does it mean you’ll have another?
Dr Santamaria: “Just because you have had one ectopic pregnancy, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are going to have another one. Having said that, it is wise to go for regular scans and a blood test if you do fall pregnant again just to make sure that the new pregnancy is running smoothly.”

It’s fair to say that things are looking a bit uncertain in Britain at the moment. However, two things make me confident that my country can make it through: our sense of humour (the hashtag #blameBrexit appearing on social media statuses about everything from burnt toast to own goals in the European football championships) and our stoicism. We taught the world to keep calm and carry on, which here specifically means carry on shopping. If we all stay home eating tinned food, the economy really will go into freefall. But if you’ve recently had a baby, what can you buy? Here are a few basic rules I’ve come up with from looking through the latest fashion magazines and my own distinctly squishy reflection in the mirror.
DO create a signature look and stick to it
True style icons tend to wear the same things over and over. Karl Lagerfeld has his suit and sunglasses; Anna Wintour her shift dress and sandals. For me, it’s a shapeless grey T-shirt and a pair of jeans done up with a rubber band.
DON’T forget your huge handbag
These days, I use my favourite zip-up clutch as a nappy bag. It’s a little reminder that I used to have style, tucked away in a giant canvas tote full of toys, muslins, snacks, changes of clothes, bits of old tissue and, sometimes, dirty nappies that I couldn’t find a bin for, meaning my bag is literally full of crap.
DO jump on the athleisure trend
Thanks to athleisure being seen on everyone from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Newsnight’s Kirsty Wark, you can now claim your leggings or joggers are “sports luxe”rather than what they really are, which is the next step up from pyjamas.
DON’T wear actual pyjama-style trousers...
...as everyone will assume you slept in them.
DO get a cold-shoulder top
One of the few 2016 trends with mum potential, owing that the cutout exposes one of the parts of your body least affected by that whole growing/feeding a baby thing.
DON’T do what I did and buy the next size up...
...in a vain attempt to hide your tummy / arms / boobs. This is counterproductive, leading to what one witness called the effect of “a potato sack with bits randomly hacked off it”. (I considered divorce but I need help with the childcare.)
DO express your love of fashion through your baby
*Looks down excitedly at four-month old in neon pink tutu and stripy ankle socks*
DON’T attempt a slip dress
Loose and low-cut with slim spaghetti straps, slip dresses were designed for waif-like Nineties’ teenagers who looked like Kate Moss. Where is a thick-strapped, high-cut elasticated nursing bra going to fit in?
If you want to get involved in the slip dress trend, do what I do. Go into a shop and stroke one, wistfully, while allowing a single tear to fall down your cheek. Single tears are a timeless look for new mothers.
DO try a leather skirt if you can fit into one
When you’re constantly being puked on, climbed over or pawed at by sticky fingers, wipe-clean = winning.
I DON’T think I need to mention...
...that you’re sitting out the white jeans trend.
DO pad your bra
Not with chicken fillets! We’re talking about absorbent pads that tuck into your bra when you’re breastfeeding and stop you leaking into your top. I love the lumpy silhouette they give, as well as the adrenaline-pumping thrill of wondering whether I’ve accidentally left one on a friend’s sofa while feeding the baby.
DON’T even think about a jumpsuit
My favourite summer look, a jumpsuit says “easygoing”and sophisticated”. Unless you are or have recently been pregnant, in which case it says “Teletubby”.
DO all your shopping online
Late-night, possibly even drunk phone shopping still beats trying to navigate a pram around a branch of H&M trying to find a non-cropped T-shirt.
DON’T give in to Breton stripes
Fine if you were wearing these already, but since finding that 90 per cent of maternity wear was stripy, I’ve made it my mission to rebel against what mums are expected to wear. For me that means this shapeless grey T-shirt but you might want to do gingham! Ruffles! Patchwork! *Looks down at shapeless grey T-shirt* Or whatever! Your country needs you.

Day 1
First text arrives from mother-in-law / own mother asking what everyone wants for Christmas. Compose gracious and thoughtful reply, such as: IT IS SEPTEMBER, GET A GRIP.
Day 2
“Oh yes, bossy clienty person, of course I can complete this massive project by Christmas.” That’s aaaaaaages away and I’ll be able to work right up until December 24 if need be. *Goes on Facebook for a bit*
Day 3
You know what? Even though Christmas is usually a soul-crushing combination of epic drives to see relatives at opposite ends of the country, being locked in overheated houses with said relatives for periods of time for which no one should have to see their relatives, trying to deal with everyone’s drunken “honesty” while not able to have more than one drink yourself because you are CONTINUALLY pregnant or breastfeeding, baby waking every hour at night because it’s in an unfamiliar place… it’ll be different this time! In fact, why doesn’t everyone come to us?
Day 4
Pop into TK Maxx in usual vague search of Christian Louboutin shoes, comfortable non-pinchy fit, price £28. Hear first rendition of “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day”. How ridiculous that they put this on in – oh. It’s the second week of December. Bolt for the doors before “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” starts up, accidentally taking out 6ft display of overpriced generic bath sets with buggy. On street, hunch over buggy handles, gulping in fresh air as the enormity of what has to be done in the next two weeks sinks in.
Day 5
Right, step one: write Christmas cards. Did we buy last year in sale? Cannot find sale-bought cards. Have a good think about where one buys new cards that communicate happiness, festivity, respect of everybody’s religious views and refined good taste. That don’t say “TESCO” on the back. Maybe let’s do cards next week.
Day 6
Notice family-sized tubs of sweets in supermarket. Buy two kinds just in case anyone doesn’t like one kind. And some posh ones for gifts. Spend evening putting up Christmas tree instead of working. Time taken to decorate Christmas tree and get kids excited: 20 minutes. Time taken to study balance of baubles and fairy lights to ensure perfect balance: 2.5 hours. Stay up late online shopping for nieces, nephews and godchildren. Google “What is a good gift for a six-year-old with ADHD?”. Sneak top off family tub of sweets. Who’s going to notice if the odd orange creme is missing?
Day 7
Work project somehow not nearly finished – must find out if we can get extra childcare. Draw name of the non-drinking IT guy in work secret Santa. What to give? Memory sticks? Moisturiser? Go out to buy and end up coming back with assorted stocking fillers for two-year-old instead. Remove all “Made in Taiwan” stickers in case two-year-old is clued up enough to know that Taiwan is nowhere near Lapland.
Day 8
Childcare send child home sick, scuppering all work deadlines. Note to self: this time next year, administer Calpol every morning as precautionary measure. Sit child in front of TV to send emails. Receive huffy follow-up email from mother/mother in law asking for gift ideas. Realise will be spending time in confined space with these people NEXT WEEK. Sneak into kitchen to finish first lot of sweets and move on to second.
Day 9
Thoughtful husband gift required. Have we been married long enough for jumpers to be OK or is this the sort of thing that screams “Emma Thompson in Love Actually”? Stay up late again browsing gifts that will convince husband not to have affair with office sexpot, or at least make him feel really vile if he is. Briefly weigh buying lingerie for self as partial husband gift. Remember quarter-cup bras not an option for post-breastfeeding tits that require industrial-strength scaffolding. Compulsively eat posh gift truffles.
Day 10
Last f***ing posting date for cards! Literally no time to write cards. Write some cards. Realise do not have addresses for all. Send email asking for addresses trying to sound casual and witty rather than desperate and on the verge. Is it too late to buy another Christmas pudding if I eat this one?
Day 11
Turkey! Was supposed to order the turkey. Where do you buy a decent turkey three days before Christmas? Try asking husband, who sneezes and declares he has “bad cold” – actually the lowest level of cold possible for men, whose colds range from “bad” to “terrible” to “dying of this”. Give up on possibility of husband being any use for next week, as he will be greatly occupied with lying around sighing dramatically in manner of Southern belle after fainting fit. Clean entire house and replace all sheets during toddler’s nap. Take delivery of 73 Amazon parcels. Try to come up with festive table decoration using two candles and a handful of holly leaves stolen from next door’s garden.
Day 12
Christmas Eve. House full of relatives. Wake up with crick in neck from sleeping on airbed. May as well have a quick look at the… HOW IS THAT MY WEIGHT AND IT’S NOT EVEN CHRISTMAS DAY YET? Start fight with mother because it must be her fault you’ve taken this on. Ditto husband. Make mince pies. Mull wine. Prep vegetables. Stay up until 3am wrapping gifts for children who will tear it off in 3 seconds without noticing. Crash into (camp) bed…
Merry Christmas, everyone.

Hands up who loves condoms? No takers? According to a survey carried out by Public Health England and YouGov, one in 10 of us haven’t even used one, which is why it’s high time we introduce you to a brand that’s transforming the contraceptive landscape, one sleekly packaged, thin, fair trade rubber at a time.
HANX is a beautifully conceived and female-focused brand that is not only disrupting the condom market, but opening up frank, honest and funny channels of conversation about everything from first-time sex to STIs (soaring, FYI) and dating in the digital era. And boy do we need it. According to a survey of 2000 UK adults by sexual health charity FPA, one in five of us perceive purchasing condoms as embarrassing, with the 16-24 age group most likely to feel uncomfortable doing so. The research also revealed that longstanding stigma around women and condoms sadly still stands: one in 10 believe that it remains taboo for women to both buy and carry condoms.
Condom design has scarcely changed since the 1950s, and it seems that attitudes are firmly stuck in that era too, but looking more closely at why women are so put off purchasing condoms, and changing both the conversation and the end product to empower them to do so, will go a long way to shutting down stigma. After all, to get all biological on you, women feel condoms too, and asking for what you want in bed will always make for not only a better sex life, but a more gender equal distribution of sexual power. And we all know that we need that in this day and age. To get back to the nitty gritty for now, here are a few common issues that present barriers to buying condoms, and ways in which the likes of HANX is solving them.
They’re aimed at men
This seems like an obvious marketing move given that men wear the condoms (unless you’re into femidoms of course), but companies are missing a trick by capitalising on macho branding (trojan horses anyone?) and rolling out sexist advertising.
HANX is doing away with such glaring condom turn-offs by tailoring everything from packaging to the buying experience to women. A survey conducted by HANX revealed that 73 per cent of women would be far more likely to buy condoms if they were a more discreet product, and so the brand has gone about giving condoms an image overhaul and a positioning update appropriate for the 21st century, and you know, women. Just how are they going about this? By taking matters into their own hands for starters…
They’re designed by men
Men don’t know what a condom feels like from the outside, but HANX founders Farah Kabir and Sarah Welsh sure do. Financier Farah and medical doctor Sarah are well placed to come up with a more female-friendly condom, not only because they’re women, but with a combined background in gynaecology, sexual health and business, plus a friendship that’s been going strong since childhood, they can lay cards on the table frankly about what works, and what doesn’t, when it comes to women buying, carrying and ultimately asking men to use condoms.
Changing the image of condoms, and doing away with any related cultural associations of carrying condoms with sleaziness or shame was key to the inception of HANX: modern women should be firmly in the driving seat of their own sexuality, thus talking about sex, asking for what we want and taking matters into our own hands is imperative. As sexual views and practices become more liberal, any prejudice linked to protecting ourselves looks positively prehistoric. It’s time condoms got cool, and we celebrated women taking ownership over them. HANX has a slogan of ‘Empowerment Starts Here #GetYourHANXOn’, and that’s the vibe that Kabir and Welsh want to foster: we should have positive attitudes towards women’s sexual independence and choice of contraception. It helps when condoms are actually desirable in themselves, of course...
They’re unsexy
Which is pretty ironic when you think about it. ‘Condoms’ and ‘chic’ aren’t words you’re likely to find together in any sentence, except, here we are. You could write off aesthetics as frippery, but actually, what condoms look like has a huge bearing on how we value and relate to them, and whether or not we buy them. And we need to be buying them - condom use has dropped amongst Brits in the 25+ age group, and STIs are on the rise in London in particular. Given that condoms are the only method of contraception that does protect you from contracting STIs , having one to hand can protect your own health, and that of any current or future partners. Having one (or five) on you is a lot more appealing when packaging is subtle and non-shouty, and when they fit in with the contents of your handbag rather than sticking out like a sore thumb.
HANX’s take on the condom is white and gold matte foil wrapping within a slim white box. Think luxe, not lairy, and never cringeworthy to add to your basket. There shouldn’t be any shame implicated in the purchase of a potentially life saving contraceptive as it stands, but current attitudes expose that a sea-change is necessary, and this goes a long way to making condoms not only more palatable, but actually covetable. As well as updating the general appeal, Kabir and Welsh have given the condom a technical redesign too…
They get in the way
Whether too long, too thick or a hassle to put on, finding the right condom for both men and women can be quite the Goldilocks exercise. HANX are ultra-thin, allowing for max sensitivity, and that musty clinical smell has been done away with too - 100 per cent natural latex means that actually these smell pretty damn good. It’s the little things, but it’s also the big picture…
They’re made with animal byproducts
I for one did not know this: the majority of condoms contain animal byproducts, such as casein. Not only is this not a goer for vegans, it can also trigger allergies, which does not make for a satisfying sexual encounter, ever. HANX use a vegan plant-based alternative in addition to natural, sustainably produced and fairtrade latex. Let’s call it the conscious condom. In more ways than one.
They’re not integrated with modern lifestyles
Placement next to pregnancy tests or in a dusty old dispenser in the ladies that has definitely been there since the early 80s means that many of us don’t even register condoms, or consider them vital to our wellbeing.
HANX wants to turn this on its head by making condoms widely available while you’re having a mani, at your yoga studio, buying a bra or even just direct to your bedroom - they can wing their way to your door at your own convenience, because this is modern times after all. Given that effective contraception is as vital an aspect of our health and wellbeing as working out and eating well, it makes sense for women to be able to purchase condoms in a lifestyle context.
HANX are on sale at Coco de Mer stores, Wah nails bars, online from the HANX website or via an online subscription service as individuals or packs of three - prices start at £1.87 for a single delivery every 30 days. Incidentally, HANX received over 10,000 direct orders in the eight hours prior to Valentine’s Day this year- condoms available at the the click of a button should clearly be the norm.
Whether you’re chatting sexual health while having your gels done or picking condoms up with your post, accessibility and making carrying condoms a part of daily culture is key to establishing a healthy, empowering environment for both men and women alike. It’s time we moved on from the 50s, on every level.

A tasty take on the classic broth, this poached salmon recipe from expert nutritionist Vicki Edgson is bursting with ingredients and flavours for a dish that packs a real punch. The tea adds a bitter hint which balances out the spicy element, and the resulting sauce pours perfectly over the delicate, flaky fish leaving it juicy and succulent.
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
1 large salmon fillet
200 ml water
1 white tea bag (eg Clipper)
1 stick of lemongrass, bashed with wooden spoon to release oils and flavours
1 tsp mixed Thai spices (dry)
1 small pack purple sprouting broccoli , woody stems removed
Cooking instructions:
1. Boil the kettle and add the hot water to the tea bag. Leave it to infuse for 5 minutes then remove the bag to prevent the broth becoming too bitter.
2. Simmer the broth over heat with the lemon grass stick and Thai Spices for 10 minutes.
3. Add the purple sprouting broccoli and salmon and poach for a further 5 minutes.
4. Take it off the heat and allow to stand for 2 minutes before serving. Do not throw the broth away or serve dry as this is where all the goodness is.

This is a super-fast breakfast, filled with fresh herby greens. It will cook in about 3 minutes, so make sure you have all your ingredients chopped and ready before you heat the pan up. Try experimenting with different herbs too: coriander, chives, basil, rocket and even mint can also work well. Just choose whatever you have to hand, growing or is in season.
Looking for an easy and healthy breakfast idea? This healthy omelette recipe from Amelia Freer’s new book is both filling to eat and fast to prepare
Ingredients
2 large eggs, preferably free-range or organic
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley and/or dill
1 tablespoon coconut oil or light olive oil
2 spring onions, finely sliced
2 handfuls of spinach, roughly chopped
A handful of peas (if frozen, pour boiling water over them in a small bowl to thaw for 5 minutes, then drain)
Method
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt, a grind of fresh black pepper and the chopped fresh herbs, either dill or parsley (or both).
Heat the coconut oil or olive oil in a wide frying pan over a medium heat, making sure the base of the pan is coated so your eggs don’t stick. Add the eggs and swirl again so you have a thin coating – it should bubble just slightly at the edges. Keep tilting the pan to distribute the egg evenly.
Sprinkle with the spring onions, spinach and peas, cook for about 2 minutes, until the egg is almost dry, then fold over just under half of the egg to cover the greens, leaving a smile of green showing. Cook for 1 minute more, then slide the omelette out of the pan and onto your plate.

This hearty and warming vegan chilli filling is a great recipe to have up your sleeve for those nights when you need a warming, healthy meal. It works well as a standalone dish too – just load up a bowl and add a handful of seasonal greens, or pour it over some brown rice for a filling supper after a long, blustery day out.
It’s also very easy to make a big batch of and freeze in portions, so you could always double up the quantities and put some away for another day (which will also prevent you from being left with half a tin of beans looking sad in the fridge!).
Ingredients
1 large red or yellow pepper
1 teaspoon light olive oil
FOR THE CHILLI
1 teaspoon coconut oil or light olive oil
½ a small red onion, peeled and sliced
1 clove of garlic, peeled and sliced
1 small stick of celery, diced
½ red chilli, diced
100g sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-2cm pieces
1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon paprika
a small bunch of fresh coriander, stems finely chopped, leaves reserved
125ml water
½ a 400g tin of black beans or kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoons tomato purée
1 teaspoon tamari or coconut aminos
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
TO SERVE
1 handful of salad leaves of your choice
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
Heat the coconut or olive oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion, garlic, celery, chilli and sweet potatoes for 5 minutes, then stir in the ground cumin and ground coriander, paprika and coriander stalks until everything is well coated.
Add the water and cover with a tightly fitting lid. Turn the heat down to its lowest setting and cook for 25 – 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to stop it sticking.
Meanwhile, cut the pepper in half straight through the stalk and carefully take out the seeds and pithy white bits from inside. Pour ½ teaspoon of olive oil inside each half pepper and use your hands rub this all over both sides. Place on a baking tray, skin side down, and put into the oven for 12 – 15 minutes, to soften. Remove from the oven when the peppers are soft and slightly caramelized around the edges, and set to one side.
After the filling has had 25 – 30 minutes simmering, add the beans, tomato purée and tamari. You may need to add another splash of water if it looks dry, although you are aiming for quite a thick texture. Bring back to a simmer for another 5 – 6 minutes, to warm the beans through. Stir in half the coriander leaves, then taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
Spoon the mixture into your prepared pepper halves, sprinkle with the remaining coriander leaves and serve over a bed of salad leaves of your choice.

Lunch - the meal that can either make or break our healthy eating New Year’s resolutions. Preparation is key, but after a stressful day, cooking one, let alone two meals doesn’t seem like the most palatable of post-work prospects. Thankfully though, in order to allow us to #StartBetter this year and see our good intentions remain intact, we’re here to help you pack for success with some great lunchtime inspiration.
We asked nutritional therapist and Get The Gloss Expert Vicki Edgson for five tasty, budget-friendly and easy recipes for healthy packed lunch ideas for work to prevent hunger from becoming our diet nemesis. Nutritious, sumptuous and most importantly, snappy, let these salad recipes and meal ideas act as your essential working week menu to keep broken resolutions and dreaded post-lunchtime lulls at bay all year long.
1. Iceberg wrap
Using iceberg lettuce as the bread, fill your wraps with screwed raw vegetables, combined with turkey, sardines or humous. Wrap and roll, then secure with a cocktail stick. Include slow release energy vegetables including white and red cabbage, sprouted pea shoots, mung beans and water cress. You can do this in four minutes!
2. Revitalise vegetable soup
This can be done using vegetables from last night’s meal. Add raw salad leaves including spinach and watercress together with 250ml of vegetable stock, (e.g. Marigold or Kallo ) and pulverise until smooth. Add one small tin of butter beans for added protein and bulk. Heat gently and put into a thermo-flask to take to work.

One fillet of salmon, (lightly steamed or cooked from the previous night) on a bed of roasted root vegetables including parsnips, carrot, sweet potato and a handful of finely chopped kale. Dress all with good quality extra virgin olive oil and the juice of half a lemon.
4. Harissa marinated chicken breast
Using a good quality, ready mixed Harissa paste (available from good supermarkets), add sliced chicken to a bed of baby spinach, finally chopped raw courgette, cherry tomatoes, half an avocado and one pack of snap peas mixed with one dessert spoon of raw nut oil and the juice of one clementine or satsuma.
5. Vegetable crushie
Take all of your favourite soft vegetables - tomatoes, courgettes, cooked carrots, beetroots and leeks and crush all together in a food processor and finish with raw fennel. Serve with a tablespoon of pine nuts and chopped parsley for a vibrant energy producing new form of soup!

Washington: US police are looking for a 22-year-old man who opened fire on a July 4 parade in Highland Park, Chicago killing 6 people and wounding a dozen on Monday.
The police identified Robert E. “Bobby” Crimo III as a “person of interest” and also released his picture for people to identify and inform the authorities.
The police said that the shooter used a high-powered rifle and shot into the parade from the rooftop of a building on the route. Christopher Covelli of the Lake County sheriff’s office and the Lake County major crimes task force, said the shooting was “very random, very intentional”.
There was no word on his motivation yet.
Fourth of July is the American Independence day and it is a national holiday.
Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said that five people died at the scene of the shooting, all adults. And the sixth victim died in hospital. All of the victims have been identified, though authorities still were notifying families.
The shooter allegedly opened fire on the parade at around 10 a.m. Miles Zaremski, a Highland Park resident, told the Chicago Sun-Times: “I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. So it couldn’t have been just a handgun or a shotgun.”
Witnesses described people fleeing in utter panic when shooting started.
“It was a quiet, peaceful, lovely morning, people were enjoying the parade,” Adrienne Drell, a former Sun-Times reporter, said, “Within seconds, to have that peacefulness suddenly ripped apart, it’s scary. You can’t go anywhere, you can’t find peace. I think we are falling apart.”
US President Joe Biden said in a statement, “I recently signed the first major bipartisan gun reform legislation in almost thirty years into law, which includes actions that will save lives. But there is much more work to do, and I’m not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence.”
The legislation, which was crafted and passed with bipartisan support from Democrats and Republicans, seeks to expand background check for prospective gun buyers, prevents abusive boyfriends and partners from buying guns and seeks to encourage states to pass laws to allow authorities and relatives to deny gun possession to people who are a danger to themselves and others.
This legislation broke decades of logjam on gun reforms.
“Today’s shooting is an unmistakable reminder that more should be done to address gun violence in our country,” Vice-President Kamala Harris said in a separate statement. “President Biden recently signed into law the first major bipartisan gun reform legislation in almost 30 years – and we will continue fighting to end this senseless violence.”

Lucknow: The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court has asked the Parliament and the Election Commission of India (ECI) to take effective measures to ‘remove criminals from politics’ and break the unholy nexus among them, politicians and bureaucrats.
A bench comprising Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh made the observations while rejecting the bail plea of BSP MP Atul Kumar Singh a.k.a. Atul Rai.
The court said it is the responsibility of Parliament to show its collective will to restrain criminals from entering politics or legislature to save democracy and ensure that the country governed on democratic principles and the rule of law.
The court said that considering the criminal history of 23 cases against Rai, might of the accused, evidence on record and the possibility tampering with the evidence, it did not find any ground to grant bail to him at this stage.
Rai was booked by the Hazratganj police in Lucknow for abetting the suicide of a girl and her witness outside the Supreme Court in August last year.
During the course of hearing, the bench came across that in 2004, 24 per cent of Lok Sabha MPs had criminal cases pending, which increased to 30 per cent in 2009 elections.
In 2014, it went up to 34 per cent and in 2019, 43 per cent MPs elected to the Lok Sabha were having criminal cases pending against them.
The bench said despite the fact that the Supreme Court has taken notice of criminalisation of politics and imperative needs of electoral reforms, Parliament and the Election Commission have not taken adequate measures to protect the Indian democracy from going into the hands of criminals, thugs and law-breakers.
“No one can dispute that the present-day politics is caught in crime, identity, patronage, muscle and money network. Nexus between crime and politics is a serious threat to democratic values and governance based on the rule of law. Elections of Parliament and state legislature, and even for local bodies and panchayats are very expensive affairs,” the court said.
“There is an unholy alliance between organised crime, politicians and the bureaucrats,” it added.
The court said the phenomenon has eroded the credibility, effectiveness and impartiality of the law enforcement agencies and the administration.
The court noted that accused such as Rai won over witnesses, influenced investigation and tampered with evidence by using his money, muscle and political power.
“This has resulted in a lack of trust and confidence in the administration and justice delivery system of the country,” it pointed out.

It’s always fun to recreate the classics without using traditional techniques and these were a real breakthrough. Oozing with exactly the same crunch and flavours as the traditional hot cross bun that you know and love, these nutritionally balanced buns are bunderful.
MAKES 6 BUNS
Ingredients
For the buns
145g (1 cup) almonds
70g (1 cup) gluten-free oats
125g (1 cup) pitted dates, soaked for 5 minutes to soften
½ tsp vanilla powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp maca powder
zest of 1 orange
3 generous pinches of Himalayan salt
120g (¾ cup) raisins
For the cashew cream cross
195g (1½ cups) cashews, soaked for 1–2 hours and drained
juice of 1 lemon
½ tsp vanilla powder
3 tbsp rice malt syrup or alternative natural liquid sweetener
Method
Preheat the oven to no higher than 42°C or to its lowest temperature.
First make the cashew cream. Blend all the ingredients in a high-powered blender – we used a Vitamix to get this ultra-smooth. Transfer the cream to a piping bag and put in the fridge to set for 2-3 hours.
Meanwhile, make the buns. Blend all the ingredients, except the raisins, with 3 tablespoons of water in a high-powered food processor for 2–3 minutes until it becomes a dough-like consistency, then remove the dough from the bowl of the processor and knead in the raisins. Shape the dough into six balls and place on a baking sheet, spaced slightly apart, squashing them down slightly. Cut a cross shape into the top of each bun.
Put the buns in the oven for 1½ -2 hours to dehydrate. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
Once cool, pipe the cashew cream into the cross indentations on top of the buns and eat!

Hyderabad: A US delegation led by South Carolina Representative JA Moore visited Shyamala Gopalan Educational Foundation (SGEF) office in Hyderabad and Palvancha on Friday. SC Representative praised India’s efforts to combat COVID-19 under the Modi government.
Moore said it is heartening to see India’s giant strides in developing the COVID-19 vaccine. “India is home to many vaccines that are being developed indigenously or manufactured in collaboration, and the credit for this victory over pandemic goes to Narendra Modi and his government,” he added.
Moore spoke about the society’s education, healthcare, sustainability, and social service initiatives and appreciated the Foundation’s climate change programmes, TREE FOR LIFE and NO TO PLASTIC.
Introducing JA Moore, the representatives of society told that, as a staunch supporter and personal family friend of Vice President Kamala Harris, he endorsed her 2020 candidacy along with US President Joe Biden.
JA Moore said, “That’s why I joined Shyamala Gopalan’s advisory board.” The Foundation was created to honour Shyamala Gopalan, an Indian-American mother who influenced her daughter Kamala Harris’ life.
The team praised N Suresh Reddy for taking on the mission and for the Foundation’s influential work, especially Sri World School, which aspires to revolutionise the education sector by providing never-before-seen educational and infrastructure standards as one of the world’s most distinctive educational Projects.
“I will share my findings with Vice President’s office soon after reaching the US,” JA Moore said.
Later in interaction with the SGEF team, Moore promised that his crew and he would support the society’s excellent mission.
He’s working with the foundation to create a World Summit on Education Series to share educational solutions, programmes, and innovation. Representatives, senators, and other U.S. leaders will attend the formal ground-breaking in November 2022.
The US delegation expressed their happiness over their visit to India, saying, “A nation with a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural heritage, we will cherish these memories forever and we will make sure this tour is a new beginning and leap towards a genuine educational collaboration between India and the US.”
Moore said that in New Delhi, the delegation visited met educational and entrepreneurial leaders and in Mumbai also, the delegation attended seminars and met with millennial leaders.
The US delegation paid grand tributes to Dr Shyamala Gopalan. Many eminent people from both states participated in the program. Team US felicitated the great astrologer Guruji M.N Ramana Rao and expressed their happiness over meeting him.
