By Dominika Piasecka A new study shows that more than one in five people in the UK lack vitamin D, proving that it is the general population, and not just the vegan population, which suffers from low levels. Public Health England said vitamin D supplements could spare more than three million people from infections and colds each year. Healthy sun exposure can deliver the nutrient but it may be challenging in winter – and in general if you live in the UK....

With A-Levels on the horizon, most students will have made their applications for university. For many, it’s the obvious next step after sixth form. But with fees rising beyond £9000 this year, is university really the only way to get a good job? University isn’t the only valid option, says a new study from credit comparison site TotallyMoney.com. A wide range of careers are available to those with a vocational qualification – and what’s more, only 33% of those with...

The 654 miles of fence already lining the border between the US and Mexico have already been breached more than 9,200 times between roughly 2010 and 2015, according to a report released  by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) citing records from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). As plans to develop a full-border wall between the two countries are developed, new figures show that even when in place the costly development may not even be that effective. Donald Trump's...

A trio of bikini-clad beauties braved the chilly capital in a bid to raise awareness for crocodiles being used in high fashion. The beauties wore fake crocodile masks as part of their snappy protest against the likes of Louis Vuitton for using their leather to make expensive bags. Holding banners, the trio crashed the first day of London Fashion Week, while shouting "Animals Die for Exotic Skins" and "Cruelty to Crocodiles Unmasked." The action, at The Strand in central London...

Michael McNulty Let’s be honest, how many times have you decided against a night in, instead opting for a night of heavy drinking and ear deafeningly loud chart topping tracks just to avoid flipping through endless TV channels, scrolling past countless Netflix programmes and trawling an infinite number of IMDB webpages. Finding the Friday night film sometimes seems like too daunting a task, so you make the easy choice and surrender yourself to a boozey night out, when really your...

By Stephen Mayne @finalreel The treatment of refugees is still an ignored problem. Whether the West is directly or indirectly involved - and given the long tentacles of history, it’s usually one of the two - the fate of those left to bear the brunt of chaotic violence and repression is rarely given attention. The Longest Road is an attempt to remedy this, and while repeatedly falling prey to muddled thinking, it gamely grapples with a complex subject. Clocking it...

A huge "Welcome to Jurassic Park" sign has been erected outside the gates to Muirfield golf course a day after the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers announced that they were to hold a second vote on whether to admit women as members. The prank was organised by bookmakers Paddy Power, in a protest at what the company called the "dinosaurs" at the club. Last year members held a vote on whether to admit women members, but it fell short by 14...

World Eater, Blanck Mass AKA Benjamin John Power's third album, is on the way. We've heard it. It's weird, it's heavy, it's killer. Power is pissed off at 2016; a year that, by any standards, is one best forgotten. World Eater, released 3rd March, is his furious reaction. Not that you'd know from the pleasant lilt of lead single 'Please', however. Directed by Michael Tan, the video for 'Please' draws on the album themes, taking them down a 3D politicised wormhole. “Blanck Mass...
