From Titanoboa, a prehistoric snake as long as a Tyrannosaurus rex, to modern-day pythons and boa constrictors that can swallow humans whole, these are the biggest, heaviest and longest snakes to have ever lived on Earth. With exquisitely patterned bodies, predatory strikes that accelerate faster than a fighter jet, and even a capacity for "flight," snakes are a fascinating group of reptiles. Some deserve attention for one feature in particular: their enormous size. From boa constrictors to reticulated pythons, we share the planet with some incredible serpentine heavyweights. These predators are found across the globe, including southeast Asia, South America and the United States. But how big are the biggest snakes in the world? And what are the biggest extinct snakes in history? Size can be tricky to measure accurately — particularly when it comes to long-dead species. Historic records can be difficult to verify, and snake skins can be stretched without much visible distortion, leading to overestimates, Patrick Campbell(opens in new tab), senior curator of the reptiles collection at the Natural History Museum in London, told Live Science. However, he said that “there are a few authenticated records” of giant snakes from around the world. Below is a sampling of these supersized serpents. Here's a descending list of the world's biggest, heaviest and longest snakes, from the smallest of the serpent giants through to the largest to have ever existed — a behemoth the size of a Tyrannosaurus rex. 10. Central African rock python (up to 16.5 feet) The Central African rock python (Python sebae) is Africa’s largest snake, according to Oregon Zoo(opens in new tab). It’s highly adaptable and found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, where it is equally at home in savannah, forest and desert habitats. These pythons average around 9.8 to 16.5 feet (3 to 5 m) long, according to Animal Diversity Web(opens in new tab) (ADW). Like Burmese pythons, Central African rock pythons can gulp down sizable prey including antelope and crocodiles. Occasionally, even humans are on the menu: there are several accounts(opens in new tab) of African rock pythons attacking and even partially consuming people(opens in new tab). These snakes can swallow such large prey thanks to a set of highly flexible jaws, a trait they share with several other snake species. “Because they’re able to disassociate the upper and lower jaws when about to devour prey, they can often take in things which are much larger than their head sizes,” Campbell said. 9.

The National Council of Corvette Clubs had banned all hybrids and EVs from competition. But now the E-Ray will be allowed. The National Council of Corvette Clubs (NCCC) came under fire last month when it was discovered that the hybridized Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray would be banned from competing or participating at its sponsored events and shows. Following a significant amount of backlash from the Corvette community itself, NCCC has released a new statement acknowledging another adjusted rule set that allows the E-Ray to compete. The outcry from fans came after Section 1.8.1 item 14 of the NCCC rulebook made its way around the internet last month. The rule specifically made it clear that hybrids and pure EVs are not welcome to share the lawn or track with other, more traditional Corvettes. Those types of cars were slated to be parked at least 30 feet away from other vehicles, which was an effort by the NCCC to reduce fire risks. The rule read as follows: Electric Vehicles/Hybrids using lithium type battery packs are prohibited in competitive events. If driven to NCCC events, they should be parked 30 feet minimum from structures or other vehicles. The E-Ray features a single electric motor mounted above the front axle, which gives the Corvette AWD capabilities for the first time. A minuscule battery located in the center spine of the chassis supplies the juice, while the 6.2-liter LT2 V-8 from the Stingray sits out back. For comparison, the pure-electric Hummer EV's battery pack is 212.0 kWh. Together the powertrain is good for 655 horsepower. Thanks to the added grip, the E-Ray will get to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. Keep your foot in it and the electrified sports car will rip off a 10.5-second quarter-mile run. Those figures make the E-Ray the quickest Corvette ever, surpassing even the mighty Z06, which makes 15 hp more. Following the media storm, NCCC president Deb Murphy said that we all misunderstood the original rule. More specifically, Murphy states that hybrid vehicles were never meant to get caught up in the ban, but rather just pure electric vehicles. link: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43754975/corvette-clubs-to-let-c8-e-ray-hybrids-compete-reversing-ban/

Leeds United are set to sack manager Javi Gracia and are in talks to appoint former England boss Sam Allardyce. Director of football Victor Orta has left by mutual consent. Leeds are 17th in the Premier League, above the relegation zone only on goal difference, with four games left this season Gracia, appointed in February as Jesse Marsch's successor, has won only three of 11 league games in charge. Leeds have lost four of their past five matches and face leaders Manchester City on Saturday. Is Allardyce the man to keep Leeds up? Or have they left it too late? Have your say Latest Leeds news, analysis and fan views Get Leeds news notifications Spaniard Gracia joined Leeds on a "flexible contract", but the board is considering bringing in former Bolton, West Ham and Everton manager Allardyce. The 68-year-old has been out of work since the end of the 2020-21 season when his West Brom side were relegated from the Premier League, the first top-flight relegation of his career. Allardyce worked with Leeds chief executive Angus Kinnear at West Ham and would become the fourth Leeds manager this season, with Michael Skubala acting as interim head coach before Gracia's appointment. Gracia will be the record-extending 15th managerial departure in the Premier League this season. Leeds face arguably the toughest end to the season of the clubs battling relegation, with City and Newcastle up next before a visit to West Ham and then Tottenham at Elland Road to end the campaign. They conceded 23 goals in April - a Premier League record for a single month and the most by any top-flight side since Birmingham also let in 23 in April 1965. After Sunday's 4-1 defeat by Bournemouth, the Leeds United Supporters Advisory Board issued a statement of no confidence in the club's management. link: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65453934

Laura Cox says experience was made more worse by delayed diagnosis and lack of compassion in her treatment Failure to recognise ectopic pregnancy causing women’s deaths, says expert Laura Cox describes her ectopic pregnancy as “the worst thing that’s ever happened” to her, saying that what would have been a difficult experience was made more traumatic by a delayed diagnosis and a lack of compassion in her treatment. Cox, 33, who lives in Denton, Greater Manchester, attended her hospital’s early pregnancy unit (EPU) in February 2018 after a positive pregnancy test. She was being monitored due to a previous miscarriage, and a blood test showed that her levels of HCG, a hormone that rises rapidly in early pregnancy, had fallen. She was also experiencing some spotting and cramping. “I was told it was an early miscarriage,” she says. She continued to experience pain and irregular bleeding and in mid-March she attended A&E but was advised that what she was experiencing was normal. “My bleeding got particularly bad,” she says. “But I was just told my body was regulating itself and it would take time.” Another month went by, and on 13 April Cox had to leave work due to excruciating pain. She had also begun to feel very unwell. She went to A&E with her mother, where she was told she might have retained tissue from the presumed miscarriage and was given antibiotics. But it was a Friday evening and the EPU had closed for the weekend, so she was asked to return for a scan on the Monday. “It just seems ridiculous considering this is so dangerous,” she says. The scan revealed a large ovarian cyst on the right side, but the ectopic pregnancy was not detected – and does not appear to have been considered. It was only when she attended a recurrent miscarriage clinic a few days later that her symptoms were taken more seriously. A blood test revealed that her HCG levels had risen again and the consultant was concerned by her continued bleeding and pain. She was admitted to hospital and had surgery to drain the cyst a few days later. During the operation, her ectopic pregnancy was discovered and her fallopian tube had to be removed in an emergency procedure. “When I came around, they told me they’d had to take my tube, which was very shocking,” she says. “And it wasn’t long after I’d come around from the anaesthetic that I was handed a cremation form.” She regrets not having had the chance to name her baby or reflect on what had happened. “They named my baby for me, Baby Cox,” she says. “It was horrible. I developed PTSD as a result. That really affected me for a number of years. “What made it worse for me was how many people said: ‘It’s OK, you’ve still got another tube.’” Looking back, Cox feels her symptoms were minimised by health professionals and that her concerns were not taken seriously. “I was made to feel like a silly woman and told ‘it’s just your body regulating things’,” she says. “All the flags were there and they didn’t pay attention.” The hospital subsequently settled a medical negligence case with Cox, acknowledging that her life had been placed at risk. Cox went on to have three more ectopic pregnancies, before becoming pregnant with her daughter, who is now two, through IVF. She says women should be offered better psychological support to cope with the experience. She is now in her final year as a trainee counsellor and hopes to specialise in supporting women through pregnancy loss when she qualifies. “I’m going on a placement at the hospital where I had my daughter to counsel women who’ve lost babies at under 20 weeks,” she says. “I know how it feels to be that low.” link: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/may/01/worst-thing-thats-ever-happened-to-me-the-trauma-of-ectopic-pregnancy

Russia has launched a series of missiles at Ukrainian cities in the second pre-dawn attack in three days. Pavlohrad, a logistics hub near the central city of Dnipro, was hit ahead of a much-anticipated counter-offensive by Ukraine. The strike sparked a major fire, destroyed dozens of houses, and wounded 34 people. Hours later, the air raid alert sounded across the country, with the capital Kyiv among the targets. Across the country, the Ukrainian army said it shot down 15 of the 18 cruise missiles that had been fired. The most significant damage was in Pavlohrad, a city in Ukrainian-held territory around 70 miles (110km) from the frontline. Pictures posted on social media showed a massive blaze. One resident, Olha Lytvynenko, said she was getting dressed to leave their house when "both doors were smashed out by the explosion wave". "I ran outside and saw that the garage was destroyed. Everything was on fire, glass shards everywhere. Had we been outside, we would have been killed," she said. Explosion derails train in Russian border region Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk military administration described it as a "tragic night and morning", saying an industrial site had been hit. Nineteen high-rise apartment blocks, 25 private houses, six schools and kindergartens and five shops were also damaged, it added. Vladimir Rogov, a Russian-installed official, said the strike targeted railway infrastructure and fuel depots, in a message on Telegram with a thumbs-up gesture. At around 04:00 local time (02:00 GMT) the air raid alert sounded in Kyiv and lasted for about three hours. The military administration said all missiles and drones directed at the capital were destroyed. In the Kherson region - which is still partly controlled by Russia - Ukrainian regional authorities said Russia had carried out 39 shellings. They came from ground-based weapons, as well as drones and planes, the authorities said, adding that one person was killed. Recent days have seen an increase in attacks in Ukraine, with places away from the front lines being targeted. On Friday, 23 people were killed in the central city of Uman. Ukraine says it is finishing plans for a long-awaited offensive against Russian forces, supported by Western-supplied weapons and military equipment. Russia, meanwhile, is also preparing for a Ukrainian push, and has fortified its positions in occupied territory. In the latest change at the country's military leadership, Cl Gen Mikhail Mizintsev - the Russian deputy defence minister who oversaw armed forces logistics - has been sacked, after being appointed to the role only last September. There have been longstanding complaints that front line troops are not getting sufficient military equipment, and suffer shortages of food and uniforms. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian official on Monday said the army had ousted Russian forces from some positions in Bakhmut, an eastern city that has been under siege for months. General Oleksandr Syrskyi, the commander of ground forces, said on Telegram the situation remained "quite difficult" - but "the enemy is unable to take control of the city". link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65446525

Kenyan police have rescued from starvation about 44 members of the Christian cult. Rabat - The case of a cult-related crime in Kenya is sparking horror, shock, and frustration across the world. On Monday, health experts started carrying autopsies on over 100 bodies of members of a religious cult who starved themselves to death at the request of their pastor. Authorities in Kenya have recovered 101 bodies from graves since April 21. Other members of the same religious cult died later, while 44 people have been rescued, according to Al Jazzeera. The bodies recovered are mostly of children, Interor Minister in Kenya Kithure Kindiski said last week. The cult members starved themselves at the request of the cult leader, who allegedly instructed them to starve themselves to death to be among the “first to go to heaven.” The members are followers of the Good News International Church located in the Shakahola Forest in eastern Kenya. “We are going to be dog the autopsies in teams,” Chief Government Pathologist Johansen Oduor told the press on Monday. He added that the government collected DNA samples from people that were reported missing by relatives. DNA samples will be matched during a process, which would take at least a month. Autopsies on dead bodies will also consider whether organs are missing. Efforts are ongoing to recover other potential bodies. A hospital staff who spoke on condition of anonymity told Reuters that the pastor had an “elaborate plan of killing children, youths, and then adults, telling them he would be the last one to starve himself to death.” Catholic bishops condemned the heinous mass starvation, describing it as a serious violation of human rights. The pastor has been identified as Paul Mackenzie, with news reports suggesting he “had been in trouble with the authorities for allegedly radicalizing children while demanding they leave school.” He also instructed some of his followers to leave their jobs. link: https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2023/05/355253/mass-starvation-suicide-in-kenya-sparks-horror-shock

Transport Secretary Mark Harper has accused the RMT transport union of "cynically targeting the Eurovision song contest" by calling strikes on the day of the final. RMT members are due to strike on 13 May after the union rejected the latest pay deal from train operators. The RMT said the Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents the train operators, had "torpedoed" pay talks. But Mr Harper said a "fair and reasonable pay offer" had been made. In an interview on the Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Mr Harper urged the RMT - the UK's largest specialist transport union - to put the pay offer to its members and let them decide. Mr Harper said, rather than doing this, the RMT had "called strikes which are cynically targeting the Eurovision song contest". "The reason that's so appalling is because that's not our song contest," Mr Harper said. "We're hosting it for Ukraine." Mr Harper said the RMT should be standing "in solidarity" with Ukrainian rail workers targeted by Russian President Vladimir Putin in war-torn Ukraine. The BBC asked the RMT if it wished to comment but the union said it had nothing to add beyond its previous statements. Rail strike planned on day of Eurovision final Train drivers to strike again on FA Cup final day What Eurovision fans affected by train strikes can do The RMT union said it would launch action across 14 train operators for 24 hours on Saturday 13 May - the day Liverpool hosts the Eurovision final on behalf of Ukraine. Members will be walking out from 00:01 to 23:59 BST on 13 May. The union's executive and the train operators had been discussing a new pay offer aimed at ending a long-running dispute. The RDG's proposals involved one year's pay rise of 5% that was dependent on the union agreeing to go into a "dispute resolution process" and accepting the general principle of changes to working practices. Earlier this week, RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said the RDG had "reneged on their original proposals and torpedoed these negotiations". Train operators said they had been "blindsided" by the strike, and denied union claims they had changed their offer. Steve Montgomery, chair of the RDG Group, said the union was "negotiating in bad faith, again denying their members a say on a fair pay deal, needlessly disrupting the lives of millions of our passengers, and undermining the viability of an industry critical to Britain's economy". The RMT's decision to take industrial action followed the announcement of strikes by Aslef, a union that represents train drivers. Aslef has strikes on 12 and 31 May, and on 3 June, the day of the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium in London. The strikes will run from 00:01 to 23:59 each day. The union rejected a fresh offer from 16 train firms, including a 4% pay rise for two years in a row and changes to conditions. Mick Whelan, Aslef's general secretary, said the offer was "risible" and "clearly not designed to be accepted as inflation is still running north of 10%". The only people responsible for the ongoing strikes in this country "are the government and the employers", he told the BBC. On the Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Mr Harper was asked whether the government was prepared to let rail strikes disrupt the industry until Christmas. He did not answer the question directly, but said: "In the end, the people who work in those industries have got to make a judgement about whether they accept the pay offer." "All that the rail unions are going to do is drive people away from it," he said. "Take the two biggest events they're trying to disrupt, Eurovision and the FA Cup Final." Mr Harper predicted the bus and coach sector would "step up" on the days of planned rail strikes in May and June. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-65441184

Researchers named the newfound species Tripedalia maipoensis, after Mai Po Nature Reserve in Hong Kong, where they discovered the transparent critter. Scientists in Hong Kong have discovered tiny, cube-shaped box jellyfish in a brackish shrimp pond that are completely unknown to science. The diminutive jellies have a completely transparent and colorless body, or bell, as well as 12 tentacles ending in small, paddle-like structures that enable the critters to speed through water faster than most other jellyfish species. Like other box jellies — a group of Cnidarians that includes the Australian box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri), the world’s most venomous marine animal, according to the National Ocean Service(opens in new tab) — the newly described jellies have 24 eyes arranged in clusters of six around its cubic bell. "This box jellyfish connects the base of its tentacles and its bell with a flat base that looks like a boat paddle, making it distinct from other common jellyfish," Qiu Jianwen(opens in new tab), a professor in the Department of Biology at Hong Kong Baptist University who led the research, said in a video(opens in new tab). "Another feature of the box jellyfish is that it has six eyes located on each side of its body." Researchers named the newfound species Tripedalia maipoensis after Mai Po Nature Reserve(opens in new tab) in Hong Kong, where they found it. They describe its features and relationship to other box jellies in a study published March 20 in the journal Zoological Studies(opens in new tab). Related: Alien-like giant phantom jellyfish spotted in frigid waters off Antarctica T. maipoensis is the first-ever box jelly to be found in Chinese waters. It is unclear whether the half-inch-long (1.5 centimeters) animal can sting humans, but it may be venomous enough to stun tiny shrimp called Artemia. "It seemed to paralyze Artemia offered in the lab," Qiu told Live Science in an email. "But we did not touch the animal to feel the sting." The researchers first noticed the unusual creatures in samples collected from an intertidal shrimp pond, known as a "gei wai" locally, during the summers of 2020 to 2022. The jellyfish were "quite abundant," Qiu told Live Science, numbering "up to 400 individuals in an area of the pond." A tidal channel from the brackish pool means that the species could also be present in the adjacent waters of the Pearl River estuary, but no work has been done yet to confirm this, the researchers wrote in the study. Box jellyfish, which are also known as sea wasps, move by allowing water to enter canals that run along a muscular membrane on the underside of their bodies and then expelling it. The researchers found that, unlike closely related species, T. maipoensis has forked canals separating into multiple branches. The newly discovered species is the third known member of a group of box jellies characterized by tentacles ending in flat, paddle-like structures, called Tripedalia. The scientists also noted that each cluster of six eyes on the jellies' cubic bell includes a pair of eyes with lenses that enable image-forming, as well as four eyes that can only sense light. The species probably feeds on small crustaceans called copepods, which were abundant in the samples taken from the shrimp pond, Qiu told Live Science. "We are thrilled with this discovery," Qiu said in the video. "Finding a new species in Mai Po, where extensive research has been conducted, highlights the potential for more marine life discovery in the Hong Kong and even the Chinese coastal waters." link: https://www.livescience.com/animals/jellyfish/newly-discovered-jellyfish-is-a-24-eyed-weirdo-related-to-the-worlds-most-venomous-marine-creature

The Bring a Trailer online auction site features a pair of modified Cayennes that are both Instagram and adventure ready. Two fun-looking modified Porsche Cayennes are up for auction on Bring a Trailer this week. For racing fans, a 2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS with a Martini livery wrap looks more than ready for your social media feed. A modified 2008 Cayenne S looks more ready for your updates with a lower auction price. First-generation Porsche Cayennes around the world are enjoying an adventurous retirement from daily commuting as modified off-roaders from Dakar to your local desert-like area. If you’re looking for a way to join the movement with an already-modified 2008 or 2009 Cayenne, we found some options over on the auction site Bring a Trailer—which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos. Up first is a 2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS that looks like it should be speeding along the dunes. It has been modified with 18-inch OZ racing-style wheels, an aftermarket air suspension, a tubular front bumper, a front skid plate, and a roof rack with recovery gear. Don’t buy this one to blend in. It's also got a multicolor vinyl wrap of the Martini livery over Crystal Silver Metallic paint, bi-xenon headlights, and a sunroof. The black leather interior uses Alcantara upholstery for the heated front seats. It also has navigation and a Bose surround sound system. The GTS Cayennes are a great place to start making modifications, but the listing doesn’t detail who made the modifications. The original 4.8-liter V-8 engine, rated at 405 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque at the factory, and a six-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission remain. The Cayenne has all-wheel drive, a dual-range transfer case, and a variable center differential. There are 121,000 miles on the odometer. The auction ends on Wednesday, May 3, and the current bid is just over $18,000. A second modified Cayenne currently up for auction is a 2008 Cayenne S, the trim level below the GTS, in Sand White paint. Three inches of lift come from a Eurowise kit with Bilstein shock absorbers, and the car sits on 32-inch Falken tires (without tire-pressure monitors) with 18-inch Sparco Terra wheels. There are also bi-xenon headlights, a roof rack, a rear wiper, and a swing-away rear tire carrier. link: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43750049/2008-2009-porsche-cayenne-bring-a-trailer-auction/

It is often suggested that some teams are "too good to go down". In reality, poor recruitment and team spirit, or terrible luck with injuries, can thrust any side into a relegation battle and set alarm bells ringing. Everton, Leicester City and West Ham are fighting for their Premier League lives, despite all having started the season with loftier aims back in August. The Hammers are still juggling European commitments, Leicester have won the Premier League, FA Cup and finished fifth twice in the past seven years, while Everton have the second-longest unbroken spell in the top flight. But all three teams are now nervously pushing for every point against sides who began the campaign prepared to do just that. Before the crunch match between Leicester, who have won just three league games since the World Cup, and Everton on Monday, BBC Sport explores the psychology of falling into trouble. 'When you're at the bottom, it is a long way up' In 2012-13, Newcastle United were supposed to be looking upwards. After narrowly missing out on Champions League qualification the previous season, the Magpies should have been heading into the campaign looking to challenge again. Like Leicester last summer, they only made one senior signing, midfielder Vurnon Anita, which stretched Alan Pardew's threadbare squad to the limit. Newcastle reached the Europa League quarter-finals but finished 16th in the league, only securing survival on the penultimate weekend. "It is tough," former defender James Perch told BBC Sport. "We didn't have a big enough squad as it was, so it was difficult to get used to. "By Christmas I was looking at the table knowing where we'd be - I didn't think for one second we'd be able to challenge for the Champions League again because of the lack of signings." Another side who struggled to back up a stellar season were Ipswich Town. The Tractor Boys finished fifth in 2000-01 - their first season after promotion - which remains a Premier League record for the highest league finish by a newly-promoted side. But the club's manager at the time, George Burley, believes increased expectations did not help as Ipswich were relegated a year later. "If we'd had finished fourth-bottom, nobody would have said anything. Once you finish fifth, you think you had to get better," he said. "It was hard to spin the idea that we will be lucky to stay in the league again. Europe made it 10 times more difficult. When you're at the bottom, it is a long way up." link: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65437747

The dilemma I am 47, have two primary-school children and a marriage that is in slow decline. From our initial pre-marriage ideals of a kind of Scandinavian shared approach to parenting and marriage it became apparent that, in fact, our underlying approach was that of his parents. The expectation is that I do everything. Nothing is done in an abusive way, but there is a passive detachment which I see in him that mirrors his dad. In his side of the family, the women run around doing everything while the men watch TV and discuss the news. I have brought this up numerous times, both in frustration and anger and in calmer, sadder moments. My husband will acknowledge this when I am calmer and will try to be more of an equal partner, but after a short time everything falls back to how it has been. I often think about being single. I am not interested in being with another man, but sometimes I find myself wondering if I would have a more equal relationship with a woman. I don’t want to break up because of our children. I have talked with him about splitting up, but he only laughs. Do I stay married? Or should I get out? Philippa’s answer For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health… and we should add another vow along the lines of having to stay together when, despite our best intentions, we end up being like our parents. My husband, after 30 years of marriage, kindly points out to me whenever I have turned into my mother and I remind him, with all the goodwill I can muster, when he is reverting to the model of a Victorian patriarch. However much we might not want to, without the gentle challenge of a loved one, we will revert to mimicking our ancestors. Right now, you are furious. I don’t blame you, your husband, without realising it, keeps reverting to type, leaving your headspace taken up with remembering to get milk and loo rolls, while he can chat about loftier ideas with other men. You are cooking dinner and listening to children read to you at the same time, while he watches the news and when you tell him you are reaching the end of your tether and have fantasies of not having him around at all, he is not taking you seriously. Sounds very tempting from an I-told-you-so perspective to leave, I can see that. He breaks his promise about the Scandinavian model on a daily basis and this hurts you. It seems when you shout, he cannot hear your words, but just tries to defend himself against the shouting. Very tough when you are trying to teach your children about life to have to repeat yourself to a grown man as well. But when you nudge him without shouting, he does respond – maybe you need a shorthand word, so you don’t need to go through the lengthy explanations each time. Maybe start calling him by his dad’s name? You can have one more gentle long chat, the sort he takes notice of, and then stay a week or two away with a friend. It may bring it home to him just how much there is to think about and do that should be shared. Remind him the children have grown out of all their clothes and shoes on your way out. Watch this clip of comedian Simon Brodkin on YouTube (bit.ly/SBrodkin) – share it with him, too. When you fantasise about it, divorce can appear like a lovely quick fix, but it rarely is. It can take a long time to rebuild yourself afterwards. There are complications about splitting the finances, with both parties usually ending up with less. No divorce with kids is a clean split as you must continue to co-parent and the things that annoyed you when you were together continue, but with less goodwill to work through them. The children suffer and act out. If you have a new same-sex relationship, it will have its own problems and rocky patches to work through. Men tend to repartner more quickly than women when there are children involved and resentments tend to grow rather than recede. At 47, it is possible your oestrogen levels are falling. At the beginning of my perimenopause I felt homicidal until I got some HRT. It is as though nature didn’t realise we’d still be rearing kids in our middle-age and thought we’d do well with less patience and more rage by now, but we are having children later and need our patience a bit longer, so it might be an idea to have a test to see if you are perimenopausal. And if you get HRT and find yourself more tolerant as a result, I do not suggest you let your husband get away with not sharing the physical and emotional labour of the home, but it may give you more patience when you remind him to think about what needs doing and not leave it all to you. Relationships go through good and bad times, it’s why we need to take vows at the beginning of the commitment. If relationships were all plain sailing, there wouldn’t be marriage to keep us together when things get stormy. I don’t envy your position right now in the middle of your storm, but I do think it is one that can be weathered. link: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/apr/30/my-husband-wont-lift-a-finger-to-help-me-should-i-stay-or-go

Pope Francis is in Hungary for a three-day pastoral visit - his first full trip to the country since he became Pope 10 years ago. What kept him away was the tough anti-migrant stance of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in contrast to the 86-year-old pontiff's compassion for all refugees. What brings him here now, besides his support for Catholics, is the war in Ukraine. Hungary and Ukraine share a 134km (85-mile) border. Unlike other EU leaders, Mr Orban has refused to back military aid for Kyiv and maintained relations with Russia's Vladimir Putin. The Pope arrived in a small white Fiat, in a convoy of black limousines, to a spectacular parade by Hungarian Hussars on horseback outside the presidential palace in the castle district, overlooking the city. He walked cautiously, with a stick, after a knee injury last year, but his voice was strong. "We seem to be witnessing the sorry sunset of that choral dream of peace, as the soloists of war now take over," he told assembled dignitaries. "World peace cannot be ensured except by creative efforts, proportional to the dangers threatening it", he quoted the Schuman Declaration of May 1950 which set out the founding principles of the forerunner to the European Union. "At the present time, those dangers are many indeed, but I ask myself, thinking not least of war-torn Ukraine, where are creative efforts for peace?" The Pope criticised what he called the rise of nationalism. And made a plea for more compassion from his hosts towards asylum seekers. "When we think of Christ present in so many of our brothers and sisters who flee in desperation from conflicts, poverty and climate change, we feel bound to confront the problem without excuses and delay," he said. Europe should work for "secure and legal corridors" to help refugees to safety, he continued. Government ministers listened stony-faced. In 2015, the Hungarian government built a razor-wire fence the whole 170km (105 miles) length of its border with Serbia, and has since added double and triple layers. Last year, there were 158,000 push backs, or "escorts" as the Hungarian police describe them, of migrants who managed to enter Hungary and were expelled into Serbia. The prime minister told the Pope, according to his spokesman, that Hungary only had a future if it stayed on the Christian road, and the Christian road was today the road of peace. There was also praise in the Pope's speech, for the Hungarian government's attempts to defend the traditional family. "I think of a Europe that is not hostage to its parts, neither falling prey to self-referential forms of populism, nor resorting to a fluid…'supranationalism' that loses sight of the life of its peoples," he said. As an example, he cited what he called "so-called gender theory" and vaunting as progress a senseless "right to abortion" which is always a tragic defeat. In the afternoon, the Pope visited St Stephen's Basilica, the main church or cathedral in downtown Budapest, for a meeting with bishops and clergy. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65415939

The death of the football fan as well as videos showing stampedes triggered complaints and frustration over disorganization of the football event. Death of Football Fan Due to Stampede in Morocco Triggers Backlash over Disorganization Authorities opened an investigation to determine the circumstances of the case. The death of a 29-year old football fan on Saturday evening due to a stampede near the Mohammed V complex in Casablanca has ignited backlash and protests over the inadequate planning and management of sports events. A statement from local authorities said that the woman was a fan of the Raja Casablanca football club (RCA). Authorities opened an investigation to determine the circumstances of the case. RCA played its second leg match against Egyptian club Al Ahly as part of the CAF Champions League last night. The game ended with a 0-0 result, with Al Ahly going through to the semi-finals on aggregate. The incidents on the sidelines of the game have been marred by chaos and disorganization, triggering complaints and frustration among citizens and football fans. Since the match, many viral videos and pictures documented chaotic scenes of people pushing each other, leading to stampedes and the death of the 29-year old woman. One of the videos shows fans of Raja Casablanca storming the Mohamed V Stadium and pushing together in very crowded spaces prior to the match. Since Saturday, fans have complained about the lack of preparedness, citing a failure to manage fans and their entry to the stadium. Fans and citizens have also called for authorities to hold those responsible accountable for the mismanagement of the game. Many have mourned the death of the football fan, including Casablanca clubs Raja and Wydad as well as Egyptian clubs like Al Ahly and Zamalek. Both Egyptian clubs published statements on their social media accounts, mourning the death of the victim and extending their condolences to her family. link: https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2023/04/355236/death-of-football-fan-due-to-stampede-in-morocco-triggers-backlash-over-disorganization
