Early this week – on Monday, to be precise – I fond myself writing another poem. It led me to consider the failure of so many politicians and so much of our media to take any kind of stance in opposition to an ongoing genocide, and that – in turn – led me to write. My thanks to both CultureMatters and Yorkshire Bylines for publishing the poem. Platforms for political poetry are few and far between, and I'm very grateful for what they do.

"As business secretary, even as I was trying to do things to limit immigration, we had an India FTA where they kept trying to bring in migration and I said no. "Kemi just wanted to get a deal at all costs and didn't really think that the objections that were being put forward were serious. "Kemi wanted a trophy to show post-Brexit benefits and there was a zeal to achieve it," the former minister said. There was a lot more pressure on us to do all the running, and they were quite nonchalant about doing a deal. "Kemi didn't want to do a deal that would have changed any UK immigration rules.

Texas universities have joined a number of other colleges and universities across 35 states in participating in a program, revolutionizing the normally tedious college application process by allowing students to determine if they will get accepted to a school before even applying. “As a father, I understand how confusing and stressful the college application process can be for your family.

Genetic Screening Sparks Eugenics Debate Heliospect's embryo screening for intelligence raises ethical concerns and echoes past horrors. A new frontier of genetic technology is casting shadows over ethical boundaries, raising eyebrows and concerns about the potential return of eugenics buried within the language of scientific advancement. The startup’s method utilizes sophisticated algorithms powered by massive genetic databases, sparking intense debates about the morality and societal impacts of such practices. The backdrop of the current scenario includes associations with individuals advocating for ideologies reminiscent of eugenics, amplifying fears of scientific racism. Scientists assert the story is not straightforward; intelligence emerges from a mix of genetic predispositions and socio-economic, educational influences—many of which test the very notion of genetic determinism.

Manchester City have rarely enjoyed trips to Molineux in recent years and the tone was set back in 2018 when Wolves have just been promoted to the Premier League. That he had turned it in was not up for debate, but City were furious with how he had turned it in. City wanted handball, but in addition to it being missed by the officials there were some who believed it would have counted anyway. That set the tone for a frustrating season for the Blues that was encapsulated in their next trip to Molineux. City have since won three of their last four trips to Molineux, although defeat last year was their first of the Premier League season.

If you watch children from a young age they often start to take in the music and dance almost as soon as they are on their feet, where does that abandonment go when we grow into adulthood? Often at events I see people just refusing to get up on the dance floor with the excuses of either I don’t dance or I can’t dance, both of which I dispute as it is these that are often to blame; lack of confidence or even fear of judgement which is to be fair so sad as if you allow the music to just take you on a journey nothing else will actually matter.

FILE - Yahya Sinwar, head of Hamas in Gaza, chairs a meeting with leaders of Palestinian factions at his office in Gaza City, on April 13, 2022. The war between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah — a Hamas ally backed by Iran — has intensified in recent weeks. Iran, which also supports Hamas, hailed Sinwar Friday as a martyr who can inspire others in challenging Israel. Biden said negotiating a stop to the fighting between Israel and Lebanon-based Hezbollah might be easier than forging a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Such infiltrations are relatively rare, especially as Israel has ramped up border security since the Hamas attack in October 2023.
