Published

Former German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has defended her record when it comes to handling Vladimir Putin

Merkel says she has no reason to apologise for her response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine back in 20-14, during her first public interview since leaving office.

“Diplomacy isn’t wrong just because it hasn’t worked…I don’t blame myself.

At times like these, I feel as worried as many others do.

What happened was not just unacceptable, but also a major mistake from Russia.”

Throughout her time as chancellor, she publicly opposed Ukraine joining NATO. This was during a period when Ukraine was plagued with corruption and other instabilities.

The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline was also discussed in the interview, particularly referring to Germany’s reliance on Russia’s natural resources.

Merkel has previously been accused of leaving her nation vulnerable, by engaging in close business dealings with Russia.

The Nord Stream 2 was built during her time as leader and later suspended by current Chancellor, Olaf Scholz when the European war began.

However, Germany is struggling to reduce its dependence on Russian energy sources, without inflicting economic harm on itself.

When it comes to European tensions, Merkel says Russia and the European Union are neighbours that cannot ignore each other and must co-exist.

Boston Dynamics’ electric marvel or robot contortionist?

Published

on

Boston Dynamics has recently unveiled its latest creation, the electric Atlas robot, boasting enhanced agility and strength.

However, with its uncanny ability to contort and rise from the ground with an almost eerie grace, one might wonder if we’re witnessing the birth of the world’s first robot contortionist.

As this technological marvel flaunts its capabilities, one can’t help but ponder if we’re on the brink of a future where household chores will be effortlessly handled by robots moving like a fusion of ballet dancers and horror movie monsters.

With its cadaver-like movements and illuminated head, it’s hard not to speculate whether Atlas is destined to revolutionise robotics or simply rehearsing for a techno-horror rendition of The Nutcracker. As Boston Dynamics continues to push the boundaries of robotics, the line between science fiction and reality becomes increasingly blurred.

As the morning sun peeks through the curtains, many reach for that familiar brew, kickstarting their day with a comforting cup of coffee.

It’s a ritual ingrained in cultures worldwide, offering a jolt of energy to combat the grogginess of dawn.

But when is the optimal time for that caffeine fix? According to registered dietitian Anthony DiMarino, RD, LD, the answer isn’t crystal clear.

Some experts suggest delaying that first sip until mid-morning or later. However, DiMarino reassures coffee lovers that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this dilemma.

Meanwhile, the science behind coffee production unveils fascinating insights into its instant variant. Whether produced through freeze-drying or spray-drying methods, instant coffee offers convenience without sacrificing flavor.

Yet, beyond convenience, recent studies delve deeper into coffee’s impact on our bodies. Research exploring the acute effects of decaffeinated versus caffeinated coffee reveals intriguing findings on reaction time, mood, and skeletal muscle strength.

Moreover, investigations into the gut microbiome shed light on coffee’s influence on liver cirrhosis patients. A study analyzing the duodenal microbiome in this population found correlations between coffee consumption and microbial richness and evenness.

So, as you sip your coffee and ponder the day ahead, consider not just the flavour in your cup but also the subtle impacts it may have on your body and mind.
