But in regular circumstances, embalmers would have wrapped the jaw to keep it from opening, Saleem tells Live Science. So why was the Screaming Woman, who seemed so cherished, left with her mouth gaping? “The mummy's screaming facial expression in this study could be read as a cadaveric spasm, implying that the woman died screaming from agony or pain,” Saleem suggests in the same statement.

The impossibility of making a decent living in the UK – or finding a good hiking route nearby as south-east England is so flat. I was sitting on the inside of this huge table when she arrived and had to almost crawl out to greet her. Best thing about Anwit? He seems outdoorsy and active, and I think they’d get along well. He let it slip he has a thing for writers, but he was suspicious of my aggressive scepticism of men who identify as cyclists – especially as I also cycle!

Just Stop Oil Activists Face Severe Sentencing For M25 Blockade The unprecedented jail terms spark outcry and renewed debate over climate protest strategies and civil rightsEnvironmental activism in the UK is witnessing a dramatic escalation, as evidenced by recent jail sentences handed down to members of the Just Stop Oil group. The five activists involved in a high-profile campaign that blocked the M25 motorway have received sentences that many commentators view as unprecedented for non-violent protest. As these events unfold, Just Stop Oil and similar groups appear undeterred. The United Nations has expressed alarm regarding the treatment of climate activists in the UK, positing that heavy-handed legal consequences contradict democratic principles and human rights protections. Activism may only grow bolder as conventional methods of advocacy seem inadequate in the face of stark climate forecasts.

Erik ten Hag's Man Utd future isn't secure. Dwight Yorke believes Manchester United will be eyeing Ruud van Nistelrooy as an internal successor if they are forced to sack Erik ten Hag this season. Van Nistelrooy completed a shock return to Old Trafford earlier this summer as part of a coaching upheaval overseen by INEOS. "It's obvious to everyone what Manchester United would do if they sacked Erik ten Hag and that's to appoint Ruud van Nistelrooy," Yorke told BoyleSports. Ruud van Nistelrooy is back at Man Utd.

Standing in front of a lectern on Thursday, his voice at times taut with anger, Britain’s prime minister announced a crackdown on what he called the “gangs of thugs” who instigated violent unrest in several towns this week. But the question of how to confront one of the key accelerants — a flood of online misinformation about a deadly stabbing attack — remained largely unanswered. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called out online companies directly, after false information about the identity of the 17-year-old suspected in the attack spread rapidly on their platforms, no matter how many times police and government officials pushed back against the claims. Three girls died after the attacker rampaged through a dance class in Southport, northwest England, on Monday. Of the eight children injured, five remain in the hospital, along with their teacher, who had tried to protect them.

Break dancing used to pride itself on inclusivity – so why is it in the Olympic Games but not the Paralympics? Break dancing has at last made it to the Olympic Games. Break dancing has also always been a highly competitive, physically demanding art form. Those of us who grew up in the 1980s can’t forget body popping and break dancing battles in the clubs of even our most unglamorous cities. Because break dancing wasn’t linked to an institution or membership organisation, anyone of almost any background could compete to gain acceptance.
