What proportion of local election candidates are actually women?

Fewer than 36% of the candidates selected to stand at next month’s local elections are women, according to new research.

Even though women still make up more than half of the UK’s population at 51% – that’s almost the same percentage who voted to make the seismic decision for us to leave the EU, by the way – they are sorely underrepresented in politics.

“Be honest,” he was heard insisting off-camera... Читать дальше...

Richard Gadd as Donny in Baby Reindeer

Since its release a week ago, Baby Reindeer has been dominating the conversation on social media and riding high on Netflix’s most-watched list on both sides of the Atlantic.

If there’s one piece of nutrition advice most people don’t need to hear for a millionth time, it’s that soda is bad for you, and the only thing you should drink when you’re thirsty is water. If you’ve spent enough time in fitness or “wellness” spaces, you’ve probably heard about how bad fruit juice is, too — at least, supposedly. But given that even the most processed, big-brand juices out there are made with some amount of fruit, it’s hard to imagine that fruit juice is nutritionally on par with, say, Coca-Cola.
