Boris Johnson: No rules broken during infamous lockdown parties

Published

The former U.K. Prime Minister could be suspended from Parliament, if found guilty

Following a hearing spanning more than three hours – former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has testified as to whether he misled Parliament about breaking Covid lockdown rules in Downing Street.

With a “hand on [his] heart” Johnson reiterated his previous statements made to the House were in “good faith” and is adamant he did not knowingly lie.

The U.K.’s Committee of Privileges is investigating whether Johnson intentionally or recklessly misled his colleagues in a series of statements made to Parliament.

In these statements, Johnson said no rules were broken during the infamous Downing Street gatherings.

If found guilty, Johnson could face a suspension from Parliament.

Any suspension longer than 10 days could prompt an election to remove him from his seat and essentially end his political career.

But the former PM didn’t go down without swinging.

Johnson believes the process being used to decide whether he is in contempt of Parliament is “manifestly unfair”.

He says the MPs have “found nothing to show that [he] was warned in advance the events in [Downing Street] were illegal”

Finally, Johnson argued that if it was so “obvious” there was rule-breaking in Number 10, then it would also have been obvious to others, including Rishi Sunak.

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.

The Coffee confusion causing health concerns

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.
