A mum and daughter who survived the Manchester Arena terror attack are both studying to become nurses . Eve Senior was just 14 when she was badly burnt and peppered with shrapnel from the bomb blast in 2017. A photo of the shell-shocked teenager limping from the scene, barefoot and bleeding with her jeans torn, was beamed around the world. Days later, as she lay in bed at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, surrounded by caring nurses, she vowed she would one day join their ranks. Now five years later Eve is a proud student children’s nurse. And her mum Natalie, 44, who suffered shrapnel injuries, is at the same university, training to become a mental health nurse. Eve being assisted by police after the terror attack ( Image: Joel Goodman/LNP) Both women are coming to the end of the first year of their degree courses.

Think Liverpool fans were wrong to boo Prince William? Read this first
If, like me, you watched the football on Saturday – and saw Chelsea lose to Liverpool on penalties (6-5, after a 0-0 draw) – you might have noticed the crowd booing Prince William as he presented the winning side with the hallowed FA Cup. They also jeered during a rendition of the national anthem and the hymn “Abide With Me”. Were you surprised? Shocked? Disappointed? If you were, you weren’t alone – some fans (of the royal family, that is) have since expressed their disapproval on social media, including certain politicians. Conservative MP and former culture secretary Karen Bradley, for example, described the situation as “unacceptable and disgraceful”. “I would urge the Football Association (FA) to take all the necessary action, and pursue those responsible,” she told the Daily Mail; while the speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle , said he “utterly condemns” the booing. “The FA Cup final should be an occasion when we come together as a country. It … [Read more...] about Think Liverpool fans were wrong to boo Prince William? Read this first

Whodunnit? When it comes to Wagatha Christie, we may never know
Those nine legendary dot dot dots, that triple ellipsis typed out by Coleen Rooney before the fateful words “ Rebekah Vardy ’s account” intimate that she’d given this matter quite some consideration. That she’d hovered, finger on the trigger, for a long thrilling moment, before firing what she thought would be the fatal shot. Her Instagram sting operation had been going on for almost five full months by that point. Five full months to wonder where this deadly road might take her. She’d had all the days and nights she could possibly have needed to work through all the angles, to look down the many branches of history that would fork their way forward from that defining second, when she chucked that irretrievable stink bomb in to the players’ wives enclosure of English football’s VIP club. But even she, surely, did not see that she would be setting herself on this precise path. That it would lead to here, the witness box of the Royal Courts of Justice, where she’d be … [Read more...] about Whodunnit? When it comes to Wagatha Christie, we may never know

North Korea brags about baby formula in apparent dig at U.S. shortage
A bizarre new article from North Korean state media bragged about leader Kim Jong Un 's personal assistance in creating the nation's baby formula recipe, in what appeared to be a dig at U.S. formula shortages. A translation of a Voice of Korea article published Tuesday local time said that Kim oversaw the production of baby formula by taste-testing batches and offering advice on how the product could become better. The article was translated into English by KCNA Watch, a South Korea-based outlet that monitors and translates media from the North. The article stated that Kim placed a call to a senior official of the Pyongyang Municipal Committee around 4 a.m. on September 15, 2021, to discuss the production of formula. "Kim Jong Un said he had just tasted the diluted dry milk produced in Pyongyang City for trial and pointed out the shortcomings one by one," it said. "He told the senior official that it is necessary for the officials of the relevant sector to study such … [Read more...] about North Korea brags about baby formula in apparent dig at U.S. shortage
Six months in, Biden’s infrastructure plan has 4,300 projects underway
Six months after the signing of President Joe Biden 's $1 trillion infrastructure package, the government said Monday there are 4,300 projects underway with more than $110 billion in funding announced — milestones the administration is publicly heralding as midterm politics intensify. White House senior adviser Mitch Landrieu, the former mayor of New Orleans, said the roads, bridges and other projects are laying “a foundation for tremendous growth into the future.” Landrieu said Biden and members of his administration have made more than 125 trips to highlight the bipartisan investments in infrastructure. He declined to predict how much the storytelling will resonate with voters as construction starts. “I think that if Americans step back, we will all have to admit that for the last 50 years we’ve had the need to do this and we haven’t found the will or the way to get it done,” Landrieu told reporters. He added that this is a “wonderful down payment” on … [Read more...] about Six months in, Biden’s infrastructure plan has 4,300 projects underway
Infodemic in pandemic: how COVID influenced food choices
When the COVID-19 emerged in China, sparking a pandemic of acute respiratory syndrome in humans, the transmission was linked to food. Initial cases were traced back to a seafood market in the city of Wuhan, and gradually, concerns about the virus being passed on through non-vegetarian food, Chinese cuisine, food delivery and packaging became prevalent. Food-related behaviour of the general population was certainly altered during the pandemic, and an online questionnaire-based study covering 600 respondents in both urban and rural areas showed that ‘immunity’, ‘supplements’ and ‘vegetable cleaners’ were among the top-searched terms on the internet during that period. The study, taken up by the Indian Council of Medical Research-National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) here, aimed to evaluate the trend of COVID-associated food and nutrition news search by Indian internet users between January 27, 2020, and June 30, 2021, and its impact on their perceptions and practices. The rise in … [Read more...] about Infodemic in pandemic: how COVID influenced food choices
