Coco Gauff reaches French Open final, sends anti-gun message to U.S

Published

on

American teenager Coco Gauff has made her first Grand Slam final, where she will meet World Number One and 2020 champion Iga Swiatek

Gauff booked her spot in the final by defeating Italy’s MartinaTrevisan 6-3 6-1.

Following the match, Gauff left a message for her home nation by signing the on court camera “Peace End Gun Violence”.

It comes after a spate of U.S gun crimes have made global headlines, including the murders of 22 people at a Texas primary school.

Speaking after the match Gauff described the lack of action over gun violence in the U.S as “crazy”.

“I woke up this morning and I saw there was another shooting and I think it’s just crazy.” She says.

“That was just a message for people at home to watch, and for people who are all around the world to watch.”

“Hopefully it gets into the heads of people in office to change things.” She says.

The victory is another step forward for the young player who rose to prominence in 2019 when she defeated Venus Williams at Wimbledon aged just 15, and has now become the youngest finalist at Roland Garros since 2001.

Earlier in the day, World Number One Iga Swiatek reached the final by sweeping past 20th seed Daria Kasatkina 6-2 6-1.

Swiatek is on a 34 match winning streak, and if she wins Saturday’s final will equal Venus Williams’ 21st century record streak which was set in 2000.

The Pole hasn’t lost a match since she claimed the number one ranking following the retirement of Ash Barty.

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.
