To most people, the term intelligent donkey is an oxymoron. The general perception is that donkeys are the epitome of stubbornness and stupidity. People often disparagingly refer to not so intelligent people as donkeys. Unfortunately, the donkey has been a victim of falsehoods and canards. In fact, donkeys have been man’s companion since the time immemorial and they have been the poor man’s best friend. The donkey has served as the beast of burden and as the poor man’s horse, and even provided milk for the nutrition of poor children. Donkey’s milk closely resemblances breast milk as compared with that of the cow, the sheep and the goat. The donkey survives by foraging marginal shrubs and hence is not a burden on the owner. A donkey is the smartest equine on earth and is quite independent in its thinking patterns. A donkey assesses the situation before panicking or taking flight. Donkeys have been used for the protection of smaller farm animals, such as goats and sheep, from … [Read more...] about The intelligent donkey

New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly – how rich is he and how did he make his money?
The Premier League and the UK Government have approved the sale of Chelsea Football Club to a consortium led by American businessman Todd Boehly . Boehly, 48, is leading the group in the record-breaking purchase of the third-best team in England after 19 years of ownership from ousted oligarch Roman Abramovich . Times have been good for the Blues, with 21 trophies including five Premier Leagues and two Champions Leagues. The takeover, worth £4.25billion, comes at the end of lengthy negotiations and will leave Abramovich without a penny from the sale, as his assets are still frozen after he was sanctioned following Russia ’s invasion of Ukraine . A government statement read: "Late last night the UK Government reached a position where we could issue a licence that permits the sale of Chelsea Football Club.

Jamie Lee Curtis says she wants to get rid of term ‘anti-ageing’: ‘I want to age with intelligence’
Jamie Lee Curtis has spoken candidly about the beauty of ageing and how she wants the word “anti-ageing” to be eliminated entirely. Curtis discussed how she feels about getting older with Maria Shriver for the Radically Reframing Ageing Summit , presented by Sounds True and Shriver Media, earlier this month. The actor revealed that she supports “ageing” and “natural beauty,” and hopes that the term “anti-ageing” could cease to exist. “I am an advocate now for natural beauty because I do feel that there has been a genocide on natural beauty,” she explained. “This word ‘anti-ageing’ has to be struck, because what the f*** is ‘anti-ageing?’” “I am pro-ageing,” she added. “I want to age with intelligence and grace and dignity and verve and energy. I don’t want to hide from it.” Recommended Jamie Lee Curtis expresses support for Ukraine refugees on Oscars red carpet and pays tribute to Betty White Jamie Lee Curtis says she’s ‘never felt … [Read more...] about Jamie Lee Curtis says she wants to get rid of term ‘anti-ageing’: ‘I want to age with intelligence’
Defiant Boris Johnson Baulks at Calls to Resign After By-Election Losses
LONDON (AP) – A defiant British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was in a stubborn standoff with his frustrated Conservative Party on Saturday, after two thumping special election defeats renewed calls for a major change of government direction. Johnson dismissed the defeats as predictable mid-term blues, and said people expecting “some sort of psychological transformation” from him should know “that is not going to happen.” The prime minister told the BBC said he believed “voters are heartily sick of hearing about me and the things I´m alleged to have done wrong. What they want to hear is what we’re doing for them.” “What I want to do is to get on with changing and reforming and improving our systems and our economy,” he said. Despite the bullish tone, this is a perilous moment for Johnson, who is due to be out of the U.K. until Thursday at a Commonwealth meeting in Rwanda, a Group of Seven leaders’ gathering in Germany and a NATO summit in Spain.

She was too sick to make her wedding, so hospital staff brought it to her
Maria Isabel Cipple Leon, a cancer patient at UNC Hospitals in Charlotte, the United States, was supposed to get married in a wedding at her church earlier this month. But when it became unclear if she would be healthy enough to leave the intensive care unit, her medical team and UNC’s chaplain’s office rallied together in under a week to put on a wedding at the hospital’s own chapel. A medical student on her team brought a cake. Residents brought a bouquet of flowers, which they used to decorate the bride’s wheelchair. The physical therapy team and the bride’s nurses helped her, with all her lines and tubes, into a wedding dress. The chaplain’s office coordinated with her pastor on scheduling, paperwork and logistics. Food Services made sure there were enough cupcakes to go around. The result was a true wedding ceremony — one that surrounded the couple with family, loved ones and medical staff who had cared for the bride, and that enveloped the hospital in a kind of joy and love … [Read more...] about She was too sick to make her wedding, so hospital staff brought it to her
Putin ‘weaponising hunger’ as western officials warn global food crisis could last years
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has accused Russia of "weaponising hunger" and using food security as a "callous tool of war" with its blockade of Ukrainian grain. Ukraine has been described as the "bread basket of Europe" and was one of the world's largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil. But the Russian invasion and Moscow's sea mining to prevent access to the southern ports, including Odessa, has halted much of the flow and jeopardised world food supplies. Speaking at a press conference alongside Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu in Ankara, Ms Truss warned of "devastating consequences" unless “urgent action is taken within the next month ahead of the new harvest”. Accusing Vladimir Putin of "weaponising hunger" with the blockade, she added: "He is using food security as a callous tool of war. “He has blocked Ukrainian ports, and is stopping 20 million tonnes of grain being exported across the globe, holding the world to ransom.” Local government … [Read more...] about Putin ‘weaponising hunger’ as western officials warn global food crisis could last years
