The behaviour of some people on airlines these days, is staggering. I think some of them should receive an all airlines ban, for maybe a year or something.

Hope they had fun- looks great👍 🤔...but no rain..

Major review says yes, it lowers blood sugar and inflammation effectively.In a recent systematic review published in Frontiers in Pharmacology, researchers at Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine and Mercer University School of Medicine in the United States collated and synthesized five high-quality clinical publications (meta-analyses) to investigate the effects of ginger (Zingiber officinale) on inflammation, blood sugar, and other physiological metrics, thereby informing its use as a functional food. Review findings confirm that ginger supplementation significantly reduces key markers of inflammation, lowers blood glucose and glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) in type 2 diabetes (T2D), and improves antioxidant status. It has also been shown to alleviate pregnancy-associated nausea effectively. However, it did not significantly reduce vomiting episodes, and vitamin B6 was significantly more effective at improving overall nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) symptom scores in some trials. These findings support ginger's potential as a generally safe and multifaceted therapeutic agent for various common health conditions, though limitations in study quality and consistency remain. https://share.google/nVLQWL71bVuYqj2cp Link to above study: Frontiers | Pharmacological properties of ginger (Zingiber officinale): what do meta-analyses say? a systematic review https://share.google/NY5pogdgh4Dk2WsPm Conclusion: Ginger significantly lowers circulating CRP, hs-CRP, and TNF-α levels, indicating its anti-inflammatory potential. It also significantly reduces HbA1c, and FBG

Gastrointestinal disorders are a group of disorders that affect the gastrointestinal tract, which impacts physiological function concerning the absorption and digestion of food and exerting a significant impact on a patient's health-related quality of life. In cases of irritable bowel syndrome, there is no clear pathogenesis. The most common gastrointestinal disorder is irritable bowel syndrome, which predominantly affects the lower gastrointestinal tractPatients who have gastrointestinal disorders also have high psychiatric comorbidity. This is because the gastrointestinal tract and the brain are intimately connected through bidirectional neural, endocrine, and immune pathways. Collectively, these pathways are referred to as the gut-brain axis (GBA). This complex communication system ensures the homeostasis of the gastrointestinal tract and influences the motivation for processing higher cognitive functions. What is the gut-brain axis? The gut-brain access includes the central nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, the enteric nervous system, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, as well as signaling mediated by gut peptides. The role of the GBA is to integrate functional activity in the gut and to link the emotional and cognitive centers in the brain with the peripheral functions of the intestine, along with their mechanisms. These include satiety, appetite, immune activation, intestinal permeability, enteroendocrine signaling, and enteric reflexes.

I wear them all the time, but only buy inexpensive ones. My JRT has liberated a few from the 'shackles of ownership' & several times I've permanently misplaced (lost😁) them.

Roger Federer has become a billionaire in dollar terms thanks to his endeavours on and off the tennis court. The 44-year-old enjoyed a sensational career in the game and won an incredible 20 Grand Slam titles before retiring in 2022. Federer became the dominant force in men’s tennis in the early 2000s as he won his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2003. The blockbuster star landed 16 of the 27 Major titles on offer between 2003 and the start of 2010 before winning another four Grand Slams later in his career after falling behind Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in the pecking order. And he earned nearly £100million for his efforts on the court before calling it a day. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/2099354/Roger-Federer-billionaire-Michael-Jordan-Tiger-Woods?int_source=nba

It's not something anyone wants to think about, but as tensions escalate around the world, there is a non-zero possibility that World War 3 could happen within the next decade. The Israel-Palestine conflict continues to rage, and at the same time, Putin refuses to back down from his illegal invasion into Ukraine, with no end in sight to the war, despite the Russian leader's recent meeting with Donald Trump. This summer, the UK government told people to prepare for war on British soil, and is urging better preparedness for conflict across society. Assuming tensions continue to ramp up and a new global conflict were to erupt, there are some indicators about what would happen if the UK went to war and needed to introduce conscription. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2097958/conscription-age-men-ww3-breaks?int_source=nba

I enjoyed it: A lot. But the placement of 'people of colour'- or whatever the correct word is, was just too obvious. I think Vivienne Toussaint's stepson organised the kidnap. And what they're doing together...a bit unlikely...

A British Airway cabin crew member was found naked and high on drugs onboard a flight. Haden Pentecost, 41, from Basingstoke, was busted during a flight from California to London. He was found agitated, sweating and babbling after he failed to help with any pre-flight safety checks. Flight staff were first aware something was wrong when he complained of stomach cramps. He told his co-workers that he needed to change his clothes and then locked himself in the toilet. Crew members were left startled when he opened the door naked, without realising his clothes were no longer on. A female colleague had to help him get dressed before she moved him to a free seat. Pentecost appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on Friday where he pleaded guilty to performing an aviation function while impaired by drugs. The flight attendant was spoken to by the captain before a health professional was called for, magistrates were told. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/breaking-british-airways-flight-attendant-35775913

Scientists inSweden have developed a groundbreaking “skin in a syringe” — a gel packed with live cells that can be applied directly to wounds or even 3D-printed into skin grafts. Designed to help the body build functional dermis rather than scar tissue, the innovation combines fibroblast cells on gelatin beads with a hyaluronic acid gel, held together using click chemistry. In a parallel advance, the team also created elastic hydrogel threads that can form tiny, fluid-carrying channels, paving the way for artificial tissues and organoid development. Researchers have created what could be called "skin in a syringe." The gel containing live cells can be 3D printed into a skin transplant, as shown in a study conducted on mice. This technology may lead to new ways to treat burns and severe wounds. The study was led from the Center for Disaster Medicine and Traumatology and Linköping University in Sweden, and has been published in Advanced Healthcare Materials Link to Science Daily Injectable “skin in a syringe” could heal burns without scars | ScienceDaily https://share.google/AHAmMdhjfF997tOrj Link to original article: https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adhm.202501430
