Three injured as another plane window breaks

Severe turbulence on a flight from from the north-western city of Amritsar to capital city Delhi saw a window detach at 15,000 feet - an event eerily similar to the Southwest Airlines 1380 incident last Tuesday. A video shows a flight attendant desperately attempting to fix a window panel on the 787 Dreamliner, which was violently shaken about shortly after take off last Thursday, the Daily Mail reported.

Duchess of Cambridge admitted to St Mary’s hospital as her labour pain started

    The Duchess of Cambridge has gone into labour with her third child. Kate has been admitted to the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, central London the same hospital where she gave birth to Prince George and Princess Charlotte. It was announced last September that the Duke and Duchess were expecting their third baby. Like her two previous pregnancies, they had to announce the news before she had reached the 12-week stage because she was suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness. File pic: Police officers standing guard when Kate was delivering her second child. In October, the palace said the baby was due in April. Her actual due date has never been confirmed and it is understood that the Duke and Duchess do not know...

This Is Why You Cross Your Legs

    If you’re from a western culture, there’s a good chance that, upon sitting, you cross your legs in some way or another. Maybe you’re the type to instinctively overlap them at your feet. Or maybe you’re a diehard yogi, and regularly sit Sukhasana (colloquially, criss-cross applesauce). Or maybe you’re a devout figure-four (ankle rested on the opposite knee) or European-style (knee on top of and flush against the opposite knee) sitter the two most common postures. There’s also a good chance that you haven’t given a single thought as to why you sit the way you do. Your body is designed to move, says posture expert Dr. Steven Weiniger, author of Stand Taller Live Longer: An Anti-Aging Strategy. When you cross your legs, you’re trying to improve the mechanics of the lowe...

Social media have to prove responsibilities otherwise could face new laws

    The Health Secretary has accused social media networks of turning a blind eye to a generation of young people by failing to protect them when using their platforms online. Jeremy Hunt says he is disappointed by the lack of progress made in areas such as age verification, screen time limits and cyber bullying. He met with the bosses of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter in November, but in a strongly-worded letter he told the companies not enough progress has been made. I fear that you are collectively turning a blind eye to a whole generation of children being exposed to the harmful emotional side effects of social media prematurely, he said. This is both morally wrong and deeply unfair on parents, who are faced with the invidious choice of allowing chil...

Tories plans force people to prove identities at polling stations in May local elections

    Government plans that will force people to prove their identities at polling stations in May’s local elections risk disenfranchising members of ethnic minority communities, according to a leaked letter to ministers from the equality and human rights watchdog. In a move that will fuel controversy over the treatment of migrants in the UK following the Windrush scandal, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has written to the Cabinet Office minister David Lidington, raising its serious concern that the checks will deter immigrants and others from participating in the democratic process. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the plan for compulsory checks was more evidence of the kind of hostile environment that Theresa May’s government wanted to create for peo...

Apple’s iPhone X will be killed off this year

With the declines in iPhone X orders and the inventory issue at TSMC at record highs which basically reflect a need to burn off inventory. Why? Because the iPhone X is dead, Campling wrote in a note.
