What in god's name is a pelvic floor? Is that some sort of new dance move I'm not aware of? Is it a brand of kitchen tiling? Sanitary products? If you like me wouldn't know where to start when it comes to terms such as pelvic floor and Kegal, and if you think mapping out a woman's 'time of the month' is like deconstructing the fibonacci code then don't worry. You're not alone. A new study has revealed four in ten...

As part of a campaign to launch their new vegetable-based teas, Australian loose leaf tea specialists T2 have teamed up with landscape architects and Chelsea Flower Show winners the Rich Brothers, having created a living garden installation inside T2’s Chelsea store. Marking the launch of Veggie Patch, a new range of vegetable-based teas, T2’s Kings Road store has been turned into an ‘autumnal wonderland’ designed to reflect the seasonal change, using a range of shrubbery, trees, herbs and vegetables to...

Review by Leslie Byron Pitt/@Afrofilmviewer Ten minutes into Level Up, you can already feel the threads unravel from its tapestry. Anyone with a toe in the waters of pop culture can already see the similarities of Level Up with recent feature Nerve (2016). In fact, the film doesn’t feel too dissimilar from half-forgotten Shia LaBeouf vehicle Eagle Eye (2008), while the film’s overall redemptive lessons learnt lie in the same bed as David Fincher’s The Game (1997). This isn’t a...

Review by Leslie Byron Pitt/@Afroilmviewer Despite featuring the ever affable Tom Hanks and adapted from a well-known and enjoyed author, A Hologram for the King (novel by Dave Eggers) received a rather muted reception when realised earlier this year. The film was only really rivalled by Sing Street in the U.K and received a limited release in the U.S. Even in his lesser noted films, the appearance of Hanks on the poster has often been enough reassurance to get at...

The World's first vegan football club Forest Green Rovers have been awarded Menu of the Year and praised for their innovative approach to sustainability. The Sport and Leisure Catering Magazine Awards, held at BAFTA in London, saw the Cotswolds' club take the acclaim, thanks to their matchday kitchen which is led by Nicolas Allan and head chef Em Franklin. Grosvenor Casinos and the Tower of London were also up for the award, with other winners from the night including Lord’s Cricket Ground,...

By Michael Smith, Initiatives of Change Winston Churchill famously said: “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent vice of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” So if the point of economic systems is to help create personal wealth, you could argue that capitalism is working very well indeed. For some people, at least. But the global economy is all pervasive, affecting the daily lives of all of us in one way or another,...

Sport News 24/7 England’s Test squad for the tour of Bangladesh is brimming with youthful enthusiasm and a few wily old heads. Youth will certainly get its chance atop the order, as Alastair Cook prepares to take to the field with his umpteenth opening partner since the retirement of Andrew Strauss. The most recent incumbent of Cook’s opening partner position, Alex Hales, took the surprising decision to exclude himself from selection for the tour on the grounds of security concerns...

The US military coalition relayed its regret for “unintentional loss of life” after they killed a huge number of Syrian soldiers who they believed were IS fighters. In fact the Syrian soldiers were themselves battling the savage terrorist group. At least 62 were killed with claims the true number is actually far higher. US Central Command issued a statement that they have discussed the broad location of the strike with Russian counterparts, before they launched their deadly raid. The statement...

Are we sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin. I have read of countries in the world that actually fund their key services properly to ensure the country can keep its citizens well-educated, healthy and safe in times of emergency. Alas, they are all far away from here and, as a recent well-documented ‘survey’ suggests, half our population believes these European chaps have got it all wrong anyway and we have nothing to learn from them. Our education system, like the police...
