This included eight different NAS plant-based milk products offered on promotion (with one store offering only 7). Promoted foods were considered to be plant-based food products and alternatives which offered a direct substitute for animal-based products. Two approaches (difference-in-difference and ratio) were explored to assess how intervention stores compared to control before and during the intervention. A t-test was used to compare the units sold and revenue (in £) between control and intervention store groups.

Vanuatu's government has banned certain single-use plastics, drastically reducing pollution in its waters and setting an example for environmental policy. In short:Vanuatu banned single-use plastics in 2018, including a world-first ban on plastic straws. The ban led to a significant reduction in plastic waste, with alternatives like banana leaves and pandanus replacing plastic bags and containers. Despite the ban's success, challenges remain, including enforcing the ban and finding sustainable replacements during supply shortages. Vanuatu's proactive approach could inspire larger nations to adopt similar measures, potentially leading to a significant reduction in plastic pollution worldwide.

The High Court has set a date for the hearing of Al-Haq’s challenge to the Government’s refusal to stop granting licences to export weapons to Israel.

To mark the winter solstice, there’s a nudie Tassie swim – and then there are the Australian Antarctic expeditioners. At the Australian stations, a hole was cut in the ice with a chainsaw and digger to make a plunge pool, with swimmers medically supervised as they were lowered into the -1.8C water. At Macquarie Island, meanwhile, researchers swam twice as seals watched from the shore

There is a far more serious risk of further limiting this right of shareholders, allowing corporate insiders to operate without any kind of market feedback. On the contrary, the questions shareholders are raising reflect the inadequacy of traditional indicators in assessing investment risk and return.

More infoA raging Alan Shearer reckons Gareth Southgate is in for 'serious questions' after England's latest underwhelming display against Denmark. He said on the BBC: "Gareth Southgate will get serious questions. There is far more to get out of those players than he is getting at the moment. No energy, no guile, I wouldn't say a lack of effort but there's so much more to come from those players." Phil Foden is out of position and not playing his best, maybe Jude Bellingham would be better playing at number eight.

byLaxman Gurung picks me up in the morning and we ride from Thamel on his motorcycle toward the hills which surround the Kathmandu valley. He tells me that he doesn’t like to take people here normally because it’s too sensitive for him…Laxman is a beekeeper who moved to Kathmandu from Nalang in the Dhading district. “In the Gurung religion they worship jungle, water, soil. So his work with the union, and his personal experience as a beekeeper, led him into another struggle, where power and poison swirl together, in the Kathmandu valley.

It’s amazing what some K-Y jelly and glow stick fluid can do on setThere’s a lot that you youngins can make fun of us out-of-touch fogies about. But after you see these top-notch effects from 30 or 40 years ago, you’ll see that “our day” wasn’t all that lame after all. If anything, because of the transition into the digital age, the effects were sometimes way worse in the 2000s. Then you can rip our Beanie Baby collection to shreds — just verbally though, please.

Don't MissIn a recent interview with the Inspire Me podcast, Gibson confirmed that he is currently in production on the fifth (official) installment of the Lethal Weapon series, which Gibson has been planning to direct and star in for a few years now. Gibson will take the reins from the franchise’s previous director, the late Richard Donner, and the star promised to fulfill Donner’s vision for the pentalogy. Said Gibson of Donner’s plans for Lethal Weapon 5, “He had gotten a fair way into the screenplay, so we’ve used what was there, and we kept poking at it, working at it a little. Gibson could, however, make his inferior movie with a slightly higher level of racial sensitivity than the Paddy's Pub gang had while making theirs. Maybe, in retribution for how Always Sunny hijacked the Lethal Weapon series, Gibson will then decide to make his own Always Sunny episode.
