At the United Nations, two officials had a problem. The little-known agency they ran found itself with an extra $61 million, and they didn’t know what to do with it.
Then they met a man at a party.
Now, they have $25 million less.
In between was a baffling series of financial decisions, in which experienced diplomats entrusted tens of millions of dollars, the agency’s entire investment portfolio at the time, to a British businessman after meeting him at the
A new study has found that being obese in your 50s gives you the same health problems as 75 year olds who aren’t overweight — with four or more issues at once.
With three-quarters of the UK population now overweight or obese, this impacts millions.
From tomorrow, food outlets must include calorie counts on menus. But similar changes have had little effect in the U.S. So what’s the best way to tackle the obesity epidemic? Two experts give their views…
Mitski moved to Nashville. She’s not quite sure why, because she didn’t really know anyone there, but she liked how specifically weird it was — a town with stories. A local businessman had recently died and left his substantial estate to his Border collie. Bachelorette parties were a surreal and ever-present cottage industry: “There’s always a woman crying on the street and five other women in matching T-shirts comforting her,” as Mitski put it to me. “It feels like such
A mother-of-three claims she was given huge breast implants, a tummy tuck and liposuction by mistake after initially going under the knife for a breast reduction – only for her doctors to pass off the additional procedures as a ‘free bonus surgery’.
Tiffany Mills, 29, from Tampa, Florida, visited the clinic on November 2 last year to get her 32F breasts reduced in size and lifted because they had been causing her back pain.

„Give or Take“ ist eine aufrichtige, oft involvierte Familiendramödie über die Auseinandersetzung mit der Vergangenheit – und der Gegenwart. Wenn nur die Co-Autoren Paul Riccio (er führte auch Regie) und Jamie Effros (er spielt die Hauptrolle) einige der Macken und struppigen Teile ihrer Geschichte fallen gelassen hätten, um tiefer und authentischer in das wahre Selbst ihrer Hauptfiguren einzutauchen, hätte der Film das vielleicht getan unverwechselbarer und einprägsamer abgehoben.
Ein weiterer Ausrutscher hier ist die Besetzung von Effros in der Hauptrolle
Boris Johnson has been rocked by another Downing Street resignation after a fifth aide quit as Cabinet ministers said they believe there is a ’50/50′ chance the PM will be forced out.
Elena Narozanski, a member of the Number 10 Policy Unit, resigned this morning, according to the Conservative Home website.

On yellow poster board, blue letters spell BELIEVE, a nod to the Emmy-winning TV show Ted Lasso. The sign hangs above psychologist Tommy Minkler’s office door at West Virginia University, a reminder to trust in the work he’s doing to help elite athletes.
In the show, Lasso, an American football coach, is recruited to head an English football team. His experience coaching American football, an utterly different game than soccer, leaves him lacking overseas, so he relies on his
Prince Harry has threatened the Government with legal action over its decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Lawyers acting for Harry, who stepped down from Royal duties two years ago, have written a ‘pre-action protocol’ letter to the Home Office, indicating they will seek a judicial review if continued security is not provided by the UK.
If the case proceeds, it will lead to a battle in the High Court between Ministers and Prince
Rick Astley hatte einen unwahrscheinlichen zweiten Akt.
Der 80er-Jahre-Sänger wurde im neuen Jahrtausend wieder berühmt, nachdem ihn der Internet-Wahnsinn “Rickrolling” zu einem viralen Star gemacht hatte. Das Online-Phänomen ist als Bait-and-Switch-Streich bekannt, bei dem sich ein versprochener Link auf einer Website als Musikvideo zu seinem 1987er Song “Never Gonna Give You Up” entpuppt. Zunächst war der 55-Jährige darüber genervt. Aber dann half ihm seine Tochter zu erkennen, dass es cool war. Und jetzt wird er nie aufhören, den geliebten Track
