Former South Carolina governor prepares to challenge her former boss, Donald Trump

Nikki Haley, who was the first woman and person of colour elected by voters to serve as South Carolina’s governor made a big announcement.

She became the first major candidate to commit to challenging former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

“The socialist left sees an opportunity to rewrite history. China and Russia are on the march. They all think we can be bullied. Kicked around,” she said in a video announcement.

“You should know this about me: I don’t put up with bullies. And when you kick back, it hurts them more if you’re wearing heels.”

The 51-year-old former United Nations Ambassador in the Trump administration will be the only woman in the field for now as Republicans consider whether or not to pick a new nominee.

In November, Haley’s former boss launched his third White House bid and remains the party’s dominant figure.

Her announcement video has been released a day before her planned formal campaign announcement speech, which is scheduled to be delivered in Charleston, South Carolina.

Meanwhile, there are ongoing conversations among Democrats as to whether President Joe Biden should seek re-election.

He is already the oldest to assume the Presidency in U.S. history.

His potential run would also come as Republicans have launched numerous investigations into his administration as well as possible corruption by the Biden family in their overseas business dealings.

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.
