Sleeping beauty: the overnight miracle workers your need in your nighttime routine

    According to the latest figures from the Sleep Council, 74% of British people sleep for less than seven hours a night and the lack of good-quality rest takes its toll on your skin. Most of us don’t realise that the hours we spend asleep are actually among our most productive: when it comes to your skin care routine, sleep is a crucial component for the skin’s recovery from the assaults of the day. Just a few nights of missed sleep can lead to dull skin and fine lines, and chronic sleep deprivation leads to dark circles and early ageing. Our ‘always on’ lifestyles means it’s unlikely we’ll be getting more sleep any time soon, so why not enlist some help to ensure you get your best beauty sleep with these night-time wonders… The Overnight Mask Noella Gabriel, Elemi...

How safe is Facebook data: Users concern

    The claims that Cambridge Analytica used data harvested from millions of Facebook profiles to target voters in the US general election in 2016 raises tough questions for both companies. In what appeared to be a damage limitation exercise, the social network preempted the stories that appeared in the Observer and the New York Times over the weekend by banning the political strategy company from its platform while it investigated the claims. But this goes much deeper than that. Facebook’s 2.2bn active users might well wonder, how safe is their personal data? And is Facebook doing enough to secure it? And why did Facebook only react on Friday, when it must have known there was a potential problem many months, if not years, ago. In August 2016, it sent a legal letter ...

How To Teach Your Sons And Daughters About Feminism

    How do we teach our kids about feminism and gender equality from an early age? Parents might have different ways to approach the topic with their kids, but the simple act of having a conversation is an important one. Robert Webb previously spoke out about how he chats to his six-year-old daughter about the patriarchy, explaining that he refers to it as “the trick” because his daughter, Esme, couldn’t pronounce it. Esme had asked if she could wear a Spiderman costume on a non-uniform day. Webb explained during an interview with Channel 4: “She asked: ‘OK, if I go as Spiderman and not as a princess, will I get laughed at?’ My wife said, ’People might laugh and what will you say?” And Esme said, ‘Shall I tell them they’re laughing because of the trick that makes men ...

Facebook post of man apologising for mistaking wife’s emotions for weakness goes viral

    A Facebook post that a man wrote in which he apologised to his wife for mistaking her emotions for weakness has gone viral. Sean and Ashley Price are a married couple with two young children currently living in Baltimore, Maryland. A couple of days ago, Sean decided to write a lengthy Facebook post about an epiphany that he had about his wife’s strength of character. While in the past Sean had often pointedly mistaken Ashley’s high emotional intensity for weakness, he now realised, belatedly, that she is far stronger than he had previously thought. Sean chose to publicly apologise on social media for his error of judgement. So many times I called her weak for her intense emotional reactions towards different things, he wrote. Told her to grow up, be a woman, sto...

Putin not fooling anyone with absurd nerve agent attack denials: Boris Johnson

    The Foreign Secretary has warned the Russian government that it is not fooling anyone with its increasingly absurd denials of culpability for use of a nerve agent on British soil. Arriving at a meeting with EU foreign affairs ministers in Brussels on Monday morning Boris Johnson said Vladimir Putin’s regime was trying to conceal the needle of truth in a haystack of lies and obfuscation. Mr Johnson will brief the 27 other EU foreign ministers on the 4 March incident, in a meeting which EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini said would first and foremost focus on the Salisbury attack among other issues. The ministers are expected to issue a joint statement on the incident later this morning after discussions. Officials from the Organisation for the Prohibition ...

Vladimir Putin wins Russian election with up to 76% of votes

    Vladimir Putin has won the Russian Presidential election by a landslide, according to exit polls. RIA puts his victory at 76.3% of the vote, VTsIOM has his success at 73.9% and TASS reported a figure of 71.9%. Putin was vying for a new six-year term to make him the longest-serving Kremlin leader since feared Soviet dictator Josef Stalin. He has been either President or Prime Minister since 1999 and the term, which under Russia's constitution would have to be his last, is set to run until 2024. Opinion polls had given Putin 70% support - nearly 10 times that of his nearest challenger. But vocal critic Alexei Navalny was barred from the race due to a corruption conviction he says was fabricated by the Kremlin. Mr Navalny called for a boycott as an aide branded it ...

50 million Facebook profiles data breach

    The data analytics firm that worked with Donald Trump’s election team and the winning Brexit campaign harvested millions of Facebook profiles of US voters, in the tech giant’s biggest ever data breach, and used them to build a powerful software program to predict and influence choices at the ballot box. A whistleblower has revealed to the Observer how Cambridge Analytica a company owned by the hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, and headed at the time by Trump’s key adviser Steve Bannon used personal information taken without authorisation in early 2014 to build a system that could profile individual US voters, in order to target them with personalised political advertisements. Christopher Wylie, who worked with an academic at Cambridge University to obtain the da...

Britain and allies plan next steps against Russia

    Speaking at the Conservative spring forum on Saturday, Theresa May said Britain would never tolerate a threat to the life of its citizens, or others in the country, from the Russian government. This act of Russian aggression is the very antithesis of the liberal and democratic values that define the United Kingdom, she said. The pledge comes as 23 British diplomats based in Russia begin packing their bags as they are expelled from the country in retaliation for Russian representatives being told to leave the UK. It is thought most or all are intelligence officers. Russia has also shut down the offices of the British Council in Moscow a move the cultural organisation says is profoundly disappointing It is our view that when political or diplomatic relations become...

Man claims he’s found missing flight MH370

    Doomed Flight MH370 has been 'found' on Google Earth, according to an Australian amateur expert in air crash investigations. The flight, carrying 239 people, vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014. A massive search operation by China, Australia and Malaysia, costing £115m, came to an end in January 2017 without success. But Peter McMahon, 64, insists he has found the plane. In one snap, the outline of what appears to be an aircraft is visible below the water’s surface. McMahon told Daily Star Online : Four Americans were sent to Australia to oversee the findings of MH370. They have made sure that all information received has been hidden from the public, even our government – but why? McMahon says authorities do not want it found as it’s...

Trump asked $4 billion to Saudi to get the U.S. out of Syria’s war

    In a December phone call with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, President Trump had an idea he thought could hasten a U.S. exit from Syria: Ask the king for $4 billion. By the end of the call, according to U.S. officials, the president believed he had a deal. The White House wants money from the kingdom and other nations to help rebuild and stabilize the parts of Syria that the U.S. military and its local allies have liberated from the Islamic State. The postwar goal is to prevent Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his Russian and Iranian partners from claiming the areas, or the Islamic State from regrouping, while U.S. forces finish mopping up the militants. The Saudis, whose crown prince arrives in Washington on Monday for extensive meetings with the administration, ...
