The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has accused the government of refusing to negotiate on public sector pay. Its new general secretary, Paul Nowak, suggested in a BBC interview that ministers were using pay review bodies "as a human shield" in negotiations. There has been widespread strike action in recent months as prices have soared. But the government has said if public sector wages rose in line with the cost of living, it would lead to "worsening debt", leaving "everyone poorer". Speaking to the BBC's Today programme, Mr Nowak argued that independent pay review bodies were going into negotiations with their "hands tied" by the government. "The pay review body process itself is in danger of being brought into disrepute because the government is hiding behind the pay review bodies, refusing to negotiate on pay and refusing to reach a reasonable settlement with our public sector unions," he said. A government spokesperson said: "We have been reasonable in our approach to agreeing to the independent pay review bodies' recommendations for public sector pay rises." The strikes taking place in December and January Why are prices rising so much? Nurses across England, Wales and Northern Ireland held the largest strike in the history of the NHS during December and more action is planned for January. Meanwhile, train and postal services have been disrupted as rail workers and Royal Mail staff walked out in rows over pay and conditions. The rate of price rises - or inflation - reached 10.7% in November, the highest in 40 years, stoked by soaring energy bills. Workers are seeking wage rises in line or above inflation as a result. On his first day in the job, Mr Nowak also said he was hopeful there was a "landing zone" between the offers on the table from government and the demands of unions on pay. "What's crucially important is that government actually sits down and negotiates," he added. Mr Nowak has replaced Frances O'Grady as head of the TUC, which represents unions in England and Wales. In an earlier interview with the BBC, he warned that further strike action may be scheduled in the new year without progress on talks. He said workers "feel that they have no alternative [to strike action]" because of the rising costs they are facing. "When you think about those energy bills landing, the cost of the weekly shop, filling up your car, rents and mortgages going up - the one thing that isn't going up is wages." Mr Nowak added that the decision to strike was a "really difficult" one for its members, who often lose out on pay during walk outs. Rail strikes will continue on 29 December as TSSA union members at West Midlands Trains and Great Western Railway walk out in a row over pay as well as terms and conditions. Border Force staff, including many who check passports, are staging further strikes which will last until 31 December, although disruption at six airports affected has been reported as "minimal". Driving examiners who are PCS members are also on strike until 31 December in a row over pay, pensions and redundancy terms, and action will continue throughout January. The head of the PCS union representing staff has warned that industrial action could last well into 2023. Rail travel in the first week of January, when many people return to work after Christmas, is expected to be disrupted because of strike action. Members of the RMT union will walk out on 3 January and 4 January. They will strike again on 6 January and 7 January. Network Rail, which operates and maintains the UK rail system, has warned people to "only travel if absolutely necessary" on those days. In addition, members of Aslef will walk out on 5 January. Train operator Southeastern has warned there will be no services on that date and severe disruption on the days before and after due to the strikes and has warned customers to check their website before travelling. The Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators, said the RMT strikes will mean only around 20% of services will operate and "half of the network will shut down". link: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64109462

Lots of bizarre deep sea creatures were spotted in 2022. Here are some of our favorites. If you want to see an alien creature then stop searching the cosmos and take a trip to the bottom of the sea. The ocean's depths are full of weird and wonderful creatures, and as humans venture deeper into the abyss more and more of them are being spotted. In 2022, scientists spotted an entire aquarium's worth of deep sea beauties. From blue goo and gummy squirrels to a spaghetti worm and Jell-O fish, here are our favorites. Luminous lump of spaghetti A bizarre seafloor creature covered with luminous orange, spaghetti-like tentacles caused a stir online. Researchers from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) first spotted the spaghetti worm, from the genus Biremis, using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) in 2012 while they were exploring the Gulf of California off the coast of Mexico. The pasta-mimicking worm has no eyes or gills and uses its colorful tentacles to catch the tiny pieces of organic detritus, also known as marine snow, that falls to the seafloor. Most spaghetti worms live in burrows or tunnels below the seafloor and only poke their noodle-like tentacles into the water to snatch up bits of food. But this Biremis worm spends its life above the ocean bottom and has previously been observed swimming through the water or crawling along the seafloor to find locations where food is plentiful. Read more: Weird deep-sea worm looks like a luminous lump of spaghetti Squid mom carries pearl-like eggs Extremely rare footage of a squid mom carrying a gelatinous string of glimmering pearl-like eggs in her arms was captured in the dark ocean depths off the California coast. MBARI researchers spotted the deep-sea squid (an unknown species in the genus Bathyteuthis) with an ROV around 56 miles (90 kilometers) off the coast at a depth of 4,560 feet (1,390 meters). Squid moms don't usually brood, or carry their eggs. Most females will release their eggs on the seafloor or in large gelatinous clumps. Brooding may increase the eggs' chance of hatching, but it likely also increases the risk of predation for the mother, which is why it is so rare. The overprotective mum may look large in the image compared to her eggs but, in reality, her mantle — the main part of a squid's body containing all the major organs — can only grow to a maximum length of 3 inches (7.5 centimeters). Read more: Deep-sea squid mom carries dazzling pearl-like string of eggs Gummy squrrel A bizarre gelatinous creature that resembles a half-peeled banana was spotted by researchers in the Pacific Ocean. The creature, known as a gummy squirrel (Psychropotes longicauda), is actually a sea cucumber and was around 2 feet (60 cm) long. The gummy squirrel was one of 55 specimens collected by scientists from the Natural History Museum in London after exploring the seafloor of the Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Zone located between Hawaii and Mexico. Other notable creatures from the trip include a tulip-shaped sea sponge and a coral thought to be exclusive to the Atlantic ocean. As many as 39 of the creatures collected could belong to never-before-seen species.

Though the global run of 270 units remains, a total of 58 BST Edition 270s are now earmarked for the United States, meaning 11 more American customers are getting one. Global production of the 2023 Polestar 2 BST Edition 270 is limited, as the name suggests, to only 270 units. Polestar, however, is increasing the number of BST Edition 270s it's shipping to the U.S. A total of 58 of these limited-run EVs are headed our way, 11 more than originally planned. Miss your chance at snagging a 2023 Polestar 2 in its hotter and sportier guise as the BST Edition 270? Tough luck, because global production of the limited-run EV remains capped at 270 units. That said, the Volvo-owned brand is bringing more BST Edition 270s to the United States than expected. Polestar originally intended to ship "up to 47" of the global allotment of BST Edition 270s to our shores; however, a company spokesperson confirmed with Car and Driver that the final total of 2 BST Edition 270s coming our way stands at 58—11 more than planned. (The BST name comes from the car's internal development code: "Beast.") There’s no word on what other markets these 11 cars were pulled from to satisfy U.S. customer demand. That said, do not get your hopes up about possibly snagging one of these extra U.S.-bound BST Edition 270s, as all are spoken for. Nevertheless, the increased allotment of U.S.-spec 2 BST Edition 270s means the chances of Americans seeing one of these cars in the wild, or later purchasing a preowned model, is higher than originally thought. While much of the 2 BST Edition 270's kit is exclusive to the low-volume model, its powertrain's extra grunt is not. With 469 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque, the BST Edition 270's two electric motors produce an additional 67 horses and 15 pound-feet of torque relative to the standard dual-motor 2. For 2023, though, the electric motors of all-wheel-drive 2s equipped with the $5500 Performance package produce the same 469 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of twist as the BST Edition 270. Polestar even offers this extra power and torque as an $1195 over-the-air software update for owners of qualifying older dual-motor 2s. In our testing, the Performance package's extra oomph shaved 0.2 and 0.5 second from the 2's runs to 60 mph and through the quarter-mile, with the 469-hp battery-electric hatchback hitting the mile-a-minute mark in 3.9 seconds and crossing the quarter-mile after 12.2 seconds. Although the 2 with the Performance package is missing many of the design and dynamic enhancements of the BST Edition 270, but the two 2 variants share the same output. That's a small consolation prize for those who missed out on a BST Edition 270. Plus, if you're an American consumer who really wants a BST Edition 270 of your own, then you now have 11 more chances to try and grab a U.S.-spec model on the secondhand market. link: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42362114/polestar-2-bst-editon-270-production/

I love my friends – I just have an awful habit of staying in and listening to podcasts in bed instead of meeting them for coffee. But not any more! Amy Trigg Thu 29 Dec 2022 16.00 GMT My heyday was in about 2009. I had am-dram rehearsals several days a week, parties every weekend, and on my quieter days I’d have friends over to watch Rent for the eighth time that month. I was 17 and living the dream – my social life was, as the kids no longer say, “popping”. Now, I’m 30 and my social life is not popping; it’s barely even sizzling. And there is a little part of me that’s OK with that – I like my dressing gown and box sets, sue me. But apparently (and this might come as a shock to you), it’s good to socialise and stimulate the brain. Who knew?! So I’ve decided that in 2023 I would like to have more of a social life. Which sounds a bit tragic really, doesn’t it? Yes, Amy, yes it does. Let’s look back at where it all went wrong … When I was little, I missed out on a lot of school because of health issues and hospital visits (spoiler alert: I’m a wheelchair user), so when I set my sights on drama school, I knew I wanted to be as present as possible. I was determined to make the most of my studies. To put it bluntly: I spent three years being an introverted nerd whose only interests were jazz hands and Sondheim. I didn’t have time for anything else, so I made sacrifices. The first sacrifice? My fledgling social life. I think I went “out-out” about four times in those three years. I’d wave goodbye to my fellow students on a Friday afternoon and head home to spend my weekend studying music theory and learning monologues. Like I said: nerd. There were occasions when I’d try to socialise – there was that time I got spiked at the local pub; that night my wheelchair tyre got a puncture in Camden; and that day I didn’t drink anything because I knew there wasn’t going to be an accessible toilet at the house party that evening … Ahhh, fun times. It would be remiss of me not to recognise that lack of access has had an impact on my social life. I can’t just go out for a spur-of-the-moment night of fun because I need to call the venue to check access, investigate accessible travel options and make sure that I’m still giving my body the rest it needs. It’s a lot of effort and, as an 18-year-old, I felt embarrassed to make such a fuss. I realise now that a mixture of childhood insecurities and access issues brought my social life to a premature standstill. I truly regret not going out more at drama school – I was surrounded by lovely people, and I know if I’d made a little bit of an effort, they would have gone above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable and included. I still have to gather all my courage to say: “I can’t get in that bar, can we go somewhere else?” but maybe 2023 is the year I’ll learn to say it a little bit louder. After drama school, I started working as an actor and writer, and you know what? No one ever tells you about the dangers of loving your job. Work and leisure blur into one and before you know it, every hour is filled with work, and you don’t even notice because you’re having such a lovely time. This sounds great, right? It is. It’s also a trap. I wouldn’t change my job for the world, but if I had a time machine, I’d go back to 17-year-old me and say: “Amy, stop straightening your hair, it’ll never make the cool kids want to hang out with you.” I’d also say: “Find a hobby that you don’t want to monetise. You need to switch off, socialise, re-energise. Join a craft group! Take up knitting! Go birdwatching! Meet people outside your usual bubble.” Unfortunately, time travel has yet to be made available to the general public so it’s too late for 17-year-old Amy, but I think it’s about time that present-day Amy tried something new. Hey, maybe I could write about my new hobby in my next article! (You see what I did? I turned it into work. Once again: a trap.) Do you remember that episode of Sex and the City where Carrie learns to eat alone? That was pivotal to my growth as a late teen, and apparently, I took it a bit too far. I love my own company – honestly, I’m a catch. But I seem to have forgotten about my Mirandas, Charlottes and Samanthas. I worry that when I next see some of my closest pals, they won’t recognise me because to them I now only exist in voice-note form. I love my friends; I just have an awful habit of prioritising listening to podcasts in bed over meeting them for coffee. Am I a terrible person? Maybe. But I’m sure if I had more time, I could do it all. Amy Trigg. head shot Nov 2020 Amy Trigg: a born performer with sci-fi dreams and a dizzying range Read more In 2019, the world saw a brief resurgence of Social Amy – I was on tour and finally finding my social rhythm. I was making plans, going on nights out and being the last one to leave the party. Then March 2020 happened. No parties, no nights out, no plans, no rhythm. So what did I do? I went full-on nerd again and started writing like a lonely, reclusive fiend. This isn’t a terrible way to spend a pandemic, but needless to say, I didn’t bounce back from lockdown with the vigour of some of my peers. I found myself repeatedly making excuses for skipping gatherings. I’d say: “Sorry, I can’t, I’m working, I don’t have time,” and would you like to know a secret? I could have taken time off, but I didn’t. I was basically the dad in a Christmas film who skipped making mince pies with his kids because he needed to crunch some numbers at the office. Did those numbers need crunching right at that very moment? Probably not. The truth is that work is not what’s stunting my social life, and neither is lack of time. As Taylor Swift so wisely said: “It’s me. Hi, I’m the problem. It’s me.” I’ve got to stop making excuses, because I know what I need to do – I need to take time to smell the roses and make the mince pies. And maybe watch Rent again with my friends. link: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/dec/29/stop-making-excuses-start-socialising-thing-ill-do-differently

Fighting in Ukraine is currently at a deadlock as neither Ukraine nor Russia can make significant advances, the head of the Ukrainian military intelligence agency has said, while Kyiv waits for more advanced weapons from Western allies. "The situation is just stuck," Kyrylo Budanov told the BBC in an interview. "It doesn't move." After Ukrainian troops recaptured the southern city of Kherson in November, most of the fiercest battles have been around Bakhmut, in the eastern Donetsk region. Elsewhere, Russian forces appear to be on the defensive while winter has slowed down the pace of Ukraine's ground operations across the 1,000km (620-mile) front line. Mr Budanov said Russia was "now completely at a dead end" suffering very significant losses, and he believed the Kremlin had decided to announce another mobilisation of conscripts. But, he added, Ukrainian forces still lacked resources to move forward in multiple areas. "We can't defeat them in all directions comprehensively. Neither can they," he said. "We're very much looking forward to new weapons supplies, and to the arrival of more advanced weapons." Earlier this month, after a series of Russian military setbacks, Ukrainian officials warned about the possibility of another ground offensive by Moscow's forces from Belarus at the start of 2023. The push, they said, could include a second attempt to seize the capital, Kyiv, and involve tens of thousands of reservists being trained in Russia. Mr Budanov, however, dismissed Russia's activities in Belarus, including the movement of thousands of troops, as attempts to make Ukraine divert troops from the battlefields in the south and east to the north. Recently, he said, a train loaded with Russian soldiers stopped in a location close to the Belarus-Ukraine border and returned, several hours later, with everyone on board. "They did it openly during the day, so that everyone would see it, even if [we] didn't want to," adding that he saw no real, imminent threat from the troops in Belarus. "As of now, I don't see any signs of preparations for an invasion of Kyiv or northern areas from Belarus." The interview in Mr Budanov's dimly lit office in Kyiv took place days after Russian President Vladimir Putin travelled to the Belarusian capital, Minsk, for the first time in more than three years. His visit raised speculation that he might try to persuade President Alexander Lukashenko, a long-time ally, to send Belarusian troops to Ukraine. link" https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64109024

Reports of Pele’s deteriorating health persisted throughout the 2022 World Cup. Rabat - Pele, the Brazilian football legend regarded to be one of the sport’s greatest ever figures, passed away at age 82 on Thursday, after being hospitalized for the last month. Joe Fraga, his agent, confirmed the news. The former footballer had been undergoing cancer treatments since 2021, and was hospitalized for the last month due to multiple ailments. “Everything we are is thanks to you,” his daughter Kely Nascimento wrote on Instagram. “We love you infinitely. Rest in peace.” Despite his health problems, the Brazilian was able to enjoy the 2022 World Cup. Before passing away he took to Instagram to congratulate Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and the Moroccan team for their World Cup runs. Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pele is a constant in the conversation for the greatest football players of all time, and many consider him to be the sport’s best ever player. According to some estimates, he scored close to 1,300 goals throughout his career, with 650 of those scored in league matches. Dubbed “The King” by the game’s fans, he led Brazil to its first World Cup title in 1958, aged only 17. He would also win the 1962 and 1970 trophies, becoming the only player to this day to win three World Cups. He is also Brazil’s joint top scorer, having scored 77 goals for the Selecao in 92 official games. Current superstar Neymar Jr. tied his record during the 2022 World Cup, although it took him 124 games. Pele’s use of the term “O Jogo Bonito,” the beautiful game in English, cemented the phrase in the lexicon of football, and exemplified the Brazilian playing style. In his club career, Pele won several titles, including Serie A Brazilian League with his club Santos, as well as the Copa Libertadores – South America’s continental club tournament. In 1975, he made the unprecedented move of joining the now-defunct North American Soccer League, where he played for the New York Cosmos and played an instrumental role in kickstarting the sport’s po[CENSORED]rity in the US. link: https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2022/12/353283/brazilian-football-legend-pele-dies-at-age-82

A £1.4bn devolution deal has been unveiled for north-east England which could see a new mayor elected in 2024. The announcement covers Northumberland, Tyne and Wear and County Durham and the government said the funding would come over the next 30 years. If approved after a consultation, it would see devolved powers over skills, transport and housing. Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove said it would give "local leaders more power" over how the region is run. He said: "A new mayor will ensure local priorities in the North East are at the heart of decision-making, while our billion-pound funding boost will provide the financial certainty needed to level up the area right now and for years to come." It would see the creation of the North East Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA) which would replace the existing North of Tyne MCA and mayor, as well as the non-mayoral North East Combined Authority. The new body would have devolved power over the adult education budget, powers over upgrading public transport - improving local rail services, as well as the ability to introduce bus franchising, and the ability to accelerate the building of new homes on brownfield land. In a joint statement local leaders and mayors in the region said: "This is a significant step towards securing important decision-making powers and investment for our region. "This would allow us to make decisions that reflect local needs and invest wisely into projects that will make a difference for all our residents, communities and local economy." A public consultation will be held before a final decision is made. If it is approved it is anticipated an election for a new mayor would take place in May 2024. The region is the sixth area of England to agree a devolution deal. link" https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tyne-64107989

Not all the best fossils belong to dinosaurs. Here are some of our favorite non-dino fossil stories dug up in 2022. When it comes to fossils, dinosaurs usually dominate the headlines. But many amazing and scientifically important non-dino fossil discoveries get dug up every year that deserve just as much respect. And 2022 was no different. From the oldest fossilized brain and ancient panda teeth to mangled "dragon" bones and a 3D fish face, here are some of our favorites. A 525 million-year-old fossilized worm unearthed in China has what is likely the oldest example of a brain ever discovered. The ancient worm-like critter, known as Cardiodictyon catenulum, belongs to the phylum Lobopodia — a group of extinct, seafloor-dwelling arthropod ancestors with armored shells and stubby legs that were abundant during the Cambrian period (541 million to 485.4 million years ago). The specimen was first discovered in 1984, but the original researchers "would not even dare to look at it in hopes of finding a brain." When the new team reanalyzed the fossil, they found not just a brain but also an entire delicately preserved nervous system. The shape of the brain and nervous system could also solve a longstanding debate about the evolution of brains in arthropods. Read more: Fossilized brain of 525 million-year-old deep sea worm likely the oldest ever discovered Titanic 12-foot turtle Paleontologists have unearthed an extinct, never-before-seen species of giant sea turtle in Spain. The massive reptile likely had a body length of around 12.3 feet (3.7 meters) — more than double the size of modern marine turtles — and is the largest turtle species ever uncovered in Europe. The new species, which researchers named Leviathanochelys aenigmatica, was identified from a complete pelvis fossil and fragments of fossilized shell. It likely cruised Europe's ancient oceans between 83.6 million and 72.1 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period (145 million to 66 million years ago). The world's largest-ever turtle is the extinct Archelon ischyros, which lived in North America and had a maximum body length of 15 feet (4.6 m). The new finding suggests that gigantism in turtles likely evolved in at least two separate evolutionary lineages. Read more: Titanic 12-foot turtle cruised the ocean 80 million years ago, newfound fossils show Frog sea "death trap" Between the 1930s and 1950s more than 150 fossilized frogs were unearthed at a fossil site in Germany. Bizarrely, all the frogs seemed to have been completely healthy when they died, which left scientists puzzling to figure out what killed them. In a new study, researchers suggested that the frogs may have died while having aggressive underwater sex. In some species of modern frogs that mate in water, males often hold females under the surface as they mount them, which can sometimes cause the females to drown. Geological records show that the fossil site was a marshy swampland around 45 million years ago when the frogs are believed to have died, which suggests these animals could have mated in the same way. Past explanations for the fossilized frogs’ demise include extreme environmental changes, such as flooding, drought or oxygen depletion. But through a process of elimination, the study researchers believe their theory is the "only explanation that makes sense." Read more: 'Ancient death trap' preserved hundreds of fossilized frogs that drowned during sex Europe's last panda A never-before-seen species of panda that was likely the last of its kind to roam Europe was identified after researchers rediscovered a pair of fossilized teeth that had been lost in the archives of a museum in Bulgaria. The new species, named Agriarctos nikolovi, had much larger teeth than seen in other European pandas, and so it was most likely similar in size to living giant pandas in Asia. However, its tooth structure hints that these teeth were weaker than giant panda teeth, suggesting that A. nikolovi likely had a more varied diet and probably chewed on soft vegetation rather than chomping on hard bamboo. Until now, the youngest European panda dated back to around 10 million years ago. But the new fossils are around 6 million years old, which suggests that pandas roamed the continent more recently than previously believed. Researchers believe A. nikolovi was eventually wiped out by extreme ancient climate change.

You can now purchase the car, a rare Turbo Commemorative Edition, for a little more than double its original MSRP. The Lotus Esprit is one of the longest-running and most recognizable sports car nameplates to come out of England. Thanks to one seller on Hemmings, a lucky enthusiast now has the chance to purchase what could be the world’s nicest Esprit Turbo, which has turned just 167 miles since new. The minty car in question is a 1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo Commemorative Edition. Only 88 of these commemorative cars were built in 1988 to celebrate 40 years of Lotus being incorporated. The 1988 model year also saw the introduction of the new bodywork penned by Peter Stevens, kicking off what is often referred to as the X180 generation of the Esprit. This particular Commemorative Edition model is number 68 of the run and wears the obligatory Pearlescent White exterior paintwork shared by all Commemorative Edition models. Inside you’ll find a tri-tone Blue interior which looks fantastic in an era of monotone offerings. Under the hood, there's a Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel-injected and turbocharged 2.2-liter four-cylinder, which provides 215 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque in U.S.-spec. That power is sent to the rear wheels by way of a five-speed manual transaxle. This low-mile survivor was delivered new to Robert’s Lotus in Meriden, Connecticut in 1988 carrying an MSRP of $70,645. In the decades that have passed since, not much has changed for the sports coupe. The seller claims that the car has spent its entire life in a climate-controlled garage and remains entirely the same as it arrived back in 1988. In fact, the car has never been registered and retains its original Manufacturer's Statement of Origin. The seller claims this is the only Esprit to retain those honors anywhere in the world. The Esprit is even still wearing the same Goodyear NCT tires that it left the factory with. The seller claims that the car runs and drives just as well as you’d expect from a brand-new car, though we wager a fresh head gasket and timing belt are likely in order. However, it seems unlikely that whoever buys this thing will ever add any miles to the odometer. If you’re interested in the chance to own the nicest Lotus Esprit in the world, you’re going to need $146,000. While you could easily get a new Lotus Emira for that sort of cash, that is a real bargain as far as survivor sports cars are concerned. Unfortunately, it seems as if this particular car is destined for a life of sitting in yet another garage. That’s a shame, but a bit more understandable in this case than most. link: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42356136/lotus-esprit-low-mileage-commemorative-edition/
