The families of those killed in the 2014 MH17 plane crash over Ukraine have begun to testify in the trial of four suspects

90 individuals will have their chance to speak in Schiphol’s high-security court over the course of three weeks, as the hearing continues.

MH17 was travelling between Amsterdam and Kuala Lumpur when it was shot down and crashed on the Russia-Ukraine border.

The 298 people on board the Boeing 777 all lost their lives, 283 being passengers and 15 crew members.

Dutch prosecutors are leading the case in The Netherlands, alleging that the suspects on trial played a part in bringing down the plane with a missile.

All four suspects are believed to be pro-Russian separatists, who were helping rebels fight the Ukrainian government’s troops.

Australian resident Vanessa Rizk lost her parents in the disaster, and told the court that those responsible “deserve punishment for their heinous actions”.

Vanessa’s brother James also testified, saying “the misinformation from Russia, the lack of involvement from Russia, and their denials baffles [him]”.

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 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.
