  1. Technically yes! But unlike the West where places are geared up for such incidents, I doubt it would be neither easy nor straightforward trying to pursue such a claim in Thailand.
  2. A hidden treasure trove of over 180 classic cars has been unveiled in the English countryside, tucked away for years by an anonymous owner. This remarkable collection, found in two barns and on adjacent land in South Gloucestershire, has captured the imaginations of car enthusiasts everywhere. As auction day approaches, excitement builds around the possibility of uncovering motoring gems. Among the dazzling array are icons like a 1960s Aston Martin and a Jaguar with the unique registration '3 TV', both expected to sell for tens of thousands. However, the collection is a mixed bag; while some cars are pristine, others languish under layers of dirt, with vegetation threatening to swallow them whole. The site itself is a chaotic wonder, featuring not just British classics, but American legends like a Cadillac thought to have been owned by unnamed celebrities. Interest in the upcoming auction, slated for June 28, is skyrocketing. Finley Hutchings from Tewkesbury Auction Centre revealed that their social media post garnered an astonishing 1.7 million views within a day. He noted, "There are some very nice pieces, cool stuff, and some very rare things." With potentially 700 to 800 lots up for grabs, the sale could indeed be the "sale of the century." Motoring signs, spare parts, and even a boat add to the intrigue. As preparations continue to ensure the site’s security—once visited by curious explorers—the location will be disclosed closer to the auction date. The vast collection, painstakingly assembled over many years, marks the end of an era for the owner as he sells the property, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance for enthusiasts to own a piece of automotive history.
  3. Key Developments: Brisk walkers (4+ mph) had a 43% lower risk of heart rhythm abnormalities than slow walkers. Average pace (3–4 mph) cut risk by 35%; more time at these speeds reduced risk by 27%. Benefits were strongest in women, under-60s, and non-obese people. Metabolic and inflammatory factors explained 36% of the risk reduction. Study is observational: No proof brisk walking directly causes lower risk. Core Analysis: The most dramatic finding: People who regularly walked at a brisk pace—over 4 miles per hour—were 43% less likely to develop heart rhythm problems, such as atrial fibrillation and tachycardia, over 13 years. Even those who walked at an average speed (3–4 mph) saw a significant 35% risk reduction compared to slow walkers. “We saw a reduced risk of heart rhythm abnormalities among people who described their usual walking pace as average or brisk,” said Professor Jill Pell, lead author of the study. The study analyzed data from over 420,000 UK Biobank participants, with 82,000 providing detailed information on walking pace and duration. Notably, more time spent walking at an average or brisk pace was associated with a 27% lower risk of developing arrhythmias, but time spent at a slow pace showed no benefit. The protective effect was especially pronounced in women, people under 60, those who weren’t obese, and those with pre-existing health conditions. Researchers found that about 36% of the link between walking pace and arrhythmia risk was explained by improvements in metabolic and inflammatory factors—such as reductions in obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. “Walking faster decreased the risk of obesity and inflammation, which, in turn, reduced the risk of arrhythmia,” Pell explained. These findings were independent of other cardiovascular risk factors like smoking or alcohol use. However, the study was observational and relied on self-reported data, meaning it cannot prove that brisk walking directly prevents heart rhythm disorders. The sample was mostly white, middle-aged, and relatively healthy, limiting how widely the results can be applied. Still, the biological link is plausible: brisk walking improves metabolic health, which is closely tied to heart rhythm stability. Why It Matters: Heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation, are on the rise globally and can lead to stroke, heart failure, and sudden death. This study highlights a simple, accessible habit—walking faster—that could drastically reduce risk for millions. With heart disease a leading global killer, these findings reinforce the power of lifestyle changes in preventing life-threatening conditions.
  4. Thailand has long been a favourite destination for expats, retirees, and digital nomads looking for an affordable lifestyle. With such an affordable cost of living, it’s no wonder so many choose to make Thailand their home. The good news? Living here doesn’t just allow you to save money, it also provides access to excellent healthcare, fresh food, budget-friendly fitness options, and a relaxing lifestyle. Here’s how you can live well on a budget in Thailand. Affordable Healthcare Options in Thailand Thailand’s healthcare system is one of the most attractive aspects of living here, especially when compared to the high costs of medical care in Western countries. Whether you’re looking for basic care or more specialised treatment, Thailand offers a variety of affordable options. For many expats and locals, public hospitals are the most budget-friendly option. These government-run facilities provide excellent medical care, often at a fraction of the cost of Western hospitals. While the service might be more basic and the wait times a little longer, these hospitals offer all the services that you may need, without breaking the bank. On the contrary, private clinics are common throughout Thailand and are a great choice for quick consultations and minor treatments. These clinics offer shorter wait times and a more personalised experience, at a slightly higher, but still affordable rate. Many of these clinics are also connected to reputable hospitals. Health Insurance For expats living long-term in Thailand, health insurance is a must. Providers like Cigna offer health plans specifically designed for expats. These plans include coverage for hospital stays, emergency treatments, and visits to private doctors. Having the right health insurance ensures you can get fast treatment when needed while safeguarding you from unexpected medical costs. Eating Healthy on a Budget Eating well in Thailand is not only easy but also affordable. With a variety of fresh local ingredients and delicious traditional dishes, maintaining a nutritious diet doesn’t require a large budget. One of the best places to find fresh, affordable food is Thailand’s local markets. These markets offer a wide selection of seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs at lower prices than supermarkets. Shopping at these markets supports local farmers and ensures that you’re getting fresh, healthy ingredients for your meals. Street food is another affordable and healthy option. Thailand’s street vendors offer filling and nutritious meals packed with vegetables and lean proteins. For the best prices, head to local street vendors outside of tourist areas. Many vendors can also customise meals based on your preferences, giving you more control over what you eat. Cooking at home is an excellent way to maintain a healthy diet on a budget. By preparing your meals, you have full control over what goes into your food and can keep it as healthy as you like. Remember to buy and cook in bulk to save money down the line. Budget-Friendly Fitness Options in Thailand Staying active in Thailand doesn’t require expensive gym memberships or boutique fitness classes. The country offers many free or low-cost ways to stay fit and enjoy the outdoors. Thailand is full of public parks and beautiful beaches where you can exercise for free. Plenty of public parks, especially ones in Bangkok, have running tracks, outdoor exercise equipment, and ample space for stretching or yoga. If you prefer a gym, you can find these facilities with daily rates as low as 100 baht in less tourist-centric areas. These gyms provide all the basic equipment needed for regular workouts at a fraction of the cost compared to high-end fitness centres. Walking and cycling are also great ways to explore Thailand’s cities and countryside while staying active. Major cities often offer affordable bike rentals. Thailand’s countryside, beaches, and national parks also provide plenty of hiking and cycling opportunities. Accessing Mental Health Support with Cigna In Thailand, mental health services are accessible and relatively affordable. Public healthcare offers free or low-cost therapy, though you may need a referral from a general practitioner. Cigna Global Health Insurance includes mental health support as part of its comprehensive plans. Coverage includes inpatient and outpatient therapy, psychiatric consultations, and medication, ensuring that expats have access to the care they need without worrying about high costs. With Cigna, you can get fast access to mental health services in both Thailand and abroad. Cigna's mental health coverage includes: Private facilities: Shorter wait times and personalised care at private hospitals.

  9. Vladimir Putin’s forces unleashed a ferocious assault on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, employing mass drone attacks that left two people dead and at least 16 injured. Among the injured were a nine-month-old baby and two other children, adding to the growing toll of civilian casualties. Governor Serhiy Lysak reported the tragic impact, which also included multiple fires and significant damage to residential buildings. Simultaneously, Kherson was battered by Russian glide bombs and artillery, resulting in one death and nine injuries. The strikes were described by Oleksandr Prokudin as a deliberate attempt to target rescue efforts, damaging sports facilities and residential areas. Amid this turmoil, a glimmer of diplomatic hope emerges as Donald Trump sends his peace envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Paris for crucial talks with European partners. This marks Trump’s first significant move to engage with European leaders, aiming to broker peace and strengthen ties with the EU. An independent investigation conducted by Mediazona, in collaboration with the BBC, has identified over 101,000 Russian soldiers killed in the invasion of Ukraine. This staggering number highlights the severe human cost of the conflict, with Russian officers and volunteers among the casualties. Elsewhere, Germany is considering sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine, with British backing potentially influencing the decision. The internal debate within Germany’s government underscores the complexity of international responses to the ongoing conflict. The drone attacks coincide with mounting pressure on global leaders to find a resolution. As Trump's envoys engage in talks, the world watches closely, hoping for diplomatic breakthroughs amid relentless violence. With continued reports of casualties and destruction, the urgency for a peaceful solution has never been more apparent. The complex geopolitical landscape serves as a backdrop for these diplomatic efforts, emphasizing the need for international cooperation and swift action to end the suffering. As Trump’s envoys proceed with discussions in Paris, the hope is that these conversations can pave the way for a de-escalation and eventual peace in Ukraine. Based on an article from The Independent.

  10. Gold prices have soared to a new record, hitting $3,357.40 (£2,540) per ounce, as investors seek safety amid US-China trade war tensions. The precious metal has surged by about 30% since the year began, reflecting growing economic uncertainty. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned of slower US growth and rising consumer prices due to Trump's tariffs. His comments follow market turmoil from new import taxes and escalating trade tensions between the two giants. Experts describe gold as being in "full lifeboat mode" as faith in politically influenced assets dwindles. The rally compares to the Iranian Revolution era when prices skyrocketed. Investors see gold as a hedge against inflation and government unpredictability, spurred by Trump's aggressive tariff policies. The US has imposed hefty tariffs on China, prompting retaliations, and there's growing unease over potential new tariffs on other nations. The administration claims these measures will boost US manufacturing, job creation, and tax revenue, yet fears of inflation persist, driving investors to gold as a safe haven. Based on a BBC Article

  14. Did We Have the Best of It? Reflecting on a Britain That Once Was It’s a question gaining traction across the country: did we have the best of it? Was Britain of the late 70s and 80s—despite the strikes, inflation, and blackouts—a better place to live than the Britain of today? Back then, there was struggle, yes—but there was also unity. The country came together to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee with street parties. You could speak your mind without a knock at the door. Children roamed the streets safely. Christianity shaped our cultural calendar, from hymns in schools to nativity plays, and no one was arrested for quoting the Bible in public. Now, That Same Country Feels Foreign Fast-forward to today, and it’s a different world. Preaching the Bible in a town centre can lead to arrest for “offensive” speech. Meanwhile, the Islamic call to prayer can be broadcast over a microphone in the high street without challenge. People are noticing. It’s not about religion—it’s about double standards. One set of rules for some, another for everyone else. Two-tier policing has become visible. Social media posts—if they express the “wrong” opinion—can now carry a criminal sentence of up to two years. Law-abiding citizens are being treated like threats, while actual threats are often ignored or excused under the banner of “tolerance.” Taxed, Ignored, and Left Behind While this happens, the British taxpayer is squeezed harder than ever. People who have worked and contributed all their lives are now struggling to heat their homes, feed their families, and keep up with soaring bills. Yet illegal migrants are put up in hotels, given allowances, and provided with legal representation—funded by the very people now struggling to get by. The question many are asking is no longer just “what happened?” but “why is this allowed to continue?” What Did We Lose? Mass immigration has changed the face of Britain. Some welcome that change. Others feel alienated by it—unheard in their own country, told that their concerns are racist, backward, or unimportant. National identity has become a battleground. The Union Jack is controversial. Royal celebrations are met with protests. Even the idea of being proud to be British can get you labelled. So—Did We Have the Best of It? Maybe we did. Maybe the best of Britain was when it still felt like home. One thing is for sure, I'm glad I got out of there when I did, I sure as hell wouldn't want to live there now.
  15. "For a long time, Lola Hassid Angel did not want to talk about the horrors of her childhood. Her experiences of the second world war had not been light: by the age of eight, the Holocaust survivor had “reached adulthood”, seen things she should never have seen, heard sounds she should never have heard, and been confronted by terrors she could neither forgive nor forget. Which is why the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen by British forces on 15 April 1945 is as much a cause for joy as for the horror to come flooding back." Full article
