Why Princess Kate broke with royal tradition for her children – details
March 19, 2023 - 21:12 GMT The Princess of Wales didn't carry out her traditional role of distributing shamrocks on St Patrick's Day back in 2016 so she could spend time with her children The Princess of Wales is devoted to her royal duties, and could most recently be seen alongside her husband, Prince William , celebrating St Patrick's Day with the Irish Guards on Friday. But she's also a loyal mum to three young children , and sometimes their needs take precedence. Back in 2016, for example, Kate broke with the 115 year-old royal tradition in order to spend time with her two oldest children. Kensington Palace surprised royal watchers by releasing a statement announcing that the then-Duchess of Cambridge would not present shamrocks to the first Battalion Irish Guards on St Patrick's Day that year. See the Princess present shamrocks this week in the clip below...

Guests criticised me for having my own daughters at my wedding ceremony when I’d said it would be a child-free celebration
A bride has revealed she was criticised on her wedding day for having her young daughters at the ceremony, despite telling guests children were not allowed at the event. Attendees told the couple that the situation was 'unfair' becayse they had to pay for babysitters to look after their children so they could attend the supposedly 'child-free' celebration. The bride, believed to be from the UK, took to Reddit to defend her decision, saying that they had given their guests two years notice and that their daughters were taken home before the reception. Online users flooded the comments section to support the bride, saying that the children of the couple are 'always an allowable exception' at a child-free wedding. The bride explained: 'My partner of 12 years and I finally got married recently. We have two daughters together who are ten and two.

The lazy guide to getting fit: Experts reveal the bare minimum you can get away – and still get results
We all know that getting fit - and staying that way - is a job in itself. And, with all the other pressures of modern life, many of us struggle to find the time to prioritise exercise. Happily, scientists have found that even the laziest, most sweat-resistant among us can transform our health and fitness by doing remarkably little. From blink-and-miss-it daily bursts of exertion that leave you puffed, to a brisk monthly walk, three-minute cold swims, or simply pottering around the house with the vacuum cleaner, there are many low-effort ways to improve your strength, brain and heart health, balance and longevity. And that means you'll be left with plenty of time to hit the sofa. Welcome to the lazy guide to getting fit and healthy … Make like a flamingo Dr Pollock says: 'The evidence base is that exercises that include both a little bit of strength and balance make a lot of difference' Consultant geriatrician Dr Lucy Pollock, author of The Book About Getting Older, … [Read more...] about The lazy guide to getting fit: Experts reveal the bare minimum you can get away – and still get results
Housing towers are coming to downtown Berkeley — whether the city wants them or not
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 4 Downtown Berkeley, more than any spot in the Bay Area, shows how statewide housing policies could soon alter the scale of our local cities — for better or worse. Six buildings of 16 to 28 stories are proposed in the central core, a setting where only one structure above 13 stories has been built since 1971. An eclectic two-block-wide corridor of buildings of various dimensions and architectural styles would be joined by chunky structures of a much different scale, three at heights that rival UC-Berkeley’s Campanile. One reason for the shift is that more Berkeley residents – and those in other Bay Area cities – now accept that the region needs to provide homes for all types of people. But there’s another factor at work: Legislators in Sacramento have passed a raft of bills to make it easier for developers to build residential buildings, meaning that cities like Berkeley have … [Read more...] about Housing towers are coming to downtown Berkeley — whether the city wants them or not
What Vietnam’s alleyways can teach the Bay Area about bureaucracy and community
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 On a recent trip to Vietnam, I’m pretty sure I found one key to a happy and harmonious urban life. During the drippy, languid hours of mid-day heat in Ho Chi Minh City, which many also call Saigon, I frequently ducked into every hẻm, or alleyway, that I saw for a little bit of shade. They quickly became my favorite places in the city. Lined with homes and storefronts that opened up directly into the street, these alleyways were filled with scooter parking, lush potted trees, craft workshops, shrines wafting with incense smoke, and baskets of various things for sale. Cars, still a rarity in this city, occasionally snagged parking at alley entrances when they could. In these alleyways, where the vast majority of residents live, the division between one’s own property and the street is more of a suggestion rather than a rule. Life spills out of the home and onto the streets, where … [Read more...] about What Vietnam’s alleyways can teach the Bay Area about bureaucracy and community
Newsom vetoed high school ethnic studies bill after complaints from Jewish groups about curriculum
SACRAMENTO — Jewish groups angered by their exclusion from a proposed ethnic studies curriculum for California high school students credited their concerns in large part for Gov. Gavin Newsom’s veto of a bill requiring the course for graduation. It was the latest twist in a fight that has lasted more than a year over whether California’s high school students should be required to take an ethnic studies class and, if so, what should be included. The bill’s author pulled it in 2019 after a similar dispute over the course material. This year a revised version of the bill easily passed the Legislature, but Wednesday night, Newsom vetoed it. In his veto message, the governor said only that the curriculum still needed more work because it was “insufficiently balanced and inclusive.” AB331 would have added a one-semester ethnic studies course to the high school graduation requirement, starting with the 2029-30 academic year. Newsom’s veto infuriated the bill’s supporters, who said … [Read more...] about Newsom vetoed high school ethnic studies bill after complaints from Jewish groups about curriculum
‘Non-crime hate incidents’ are waste of police time and allow real crimes to go unpunished – govt must end this madness
LET’S hope that the Government means it this time. Yesterday, Home Secretary Suella Braverman said she will ban police from recording trivial “non-crime hate incidents”. The whole concept, she said, was “Orwellian”. She added: “Non-crime hate incidents must not distract the police from their core duties, they should not be used to inhibit free speech.” Fine words, indeed.
