You'll never guess https://briefnews.eu/emmerdale-spoilers-joe-tates-whereabouts-exposed-in-almighty-twist-youll-never-guess/ https://briefnews.eu/emmerdale-spoilers-joe-tates-whereabouts-exposed-in-almighty-twist-youll-never-guess/#respond Sun, 17 Mar 2019 06:29:06 +0000 http://briefnews.eu/emmerdale-spoilers-joe-tates-whereabouts-exposed-in-almighty-twist-youll-never-guess/

Emmerdale viewers have been begging for fan-favourite Joe Tate (played by Ned Porteous) to be alive and it seems that possibility is high as a new theory comes to light.

He was last seen back in October, announced dead by Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) following Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) punching him. 

Whilst there are several reasons and even some evidence to suggest he is still alive, where would he be living? 

It comes after last night’s episode which sent fans into a frenzy when Graham rang a mystery person saying: “We’ve got a problem, we’re going to need another plan.”

Many initially assumed Graham was calling Joe, but the businessman is not foolish and rarely makes silly judgements. 

Therefore it led to the suggestion that Graham was in fact calling James Tate, Kim Tate’s (Claire King) son, who has not been seen in Emmerdale since his departure as a toddler back in 1999, 20 years ago. 

Taking this one step further, a viewer took to Twitter and commented: “Okay random theory which makes no sense but oh well, Graham got rid of Joe near the arches, could he have put him on a train and told James Tate to meet him at the station? James could be living abroad and looking after Joe?” 

Soap fans will remember how Graham supposedly disposed of Joe’s body; he drove to an unknown location, which seemed to be near a train track, as there were arches which formed a viaduct.

Could Graham have got Joe out and sneaked him onto a nearby train, or dropped Joe off at a nearby train station to leave the area quickly but unsuspiciously? 

The second part of the fan’s theory suggests James is living abroad, can be backed up with a tease actress Claire dropped when discussing her character’s return to the soap back in October. 

During a conversation with Soap Bubble, Claire said: “I had this theory ages ago; she [Kim] probably married someone or nicked some money off a very wealthy man, ran off to the Costa Del Sol, committed loads of crime. In fact, she was probably with James committed a lot of crime, the two of them a bit sort of Bonnie and Clyde.” 

Does this suggest James was left in Spain and potentially still lives there? 

Whilst there is a chance Joe has never met his uncle, it is likely that Graham knows all about James considering how close he and Kim are. 

To add to this, Claire also revealed to Digital Spy how her character had “asked Graham to try and find him [James]”. 

With a potential contact number, or even address, Graham could have easily got in touch with James and asked him to help Joe out. 

But, there is a question as to whether or not James would do such a thing. 

Considering how he was treated by his mother, “sent off to school” by which he responded to by “running away”, it seems the pairs relationship was not all that harmonious. And viewers know Kim only cares about herself. 

Therefore, should James hate his mother, he could very well help Graham and Joe out. Could the two young Tate’s return to Emmerdale and confront Kim in an almighty showdown? 

Express.co.uk ran an exclusive poll and asked readers: “How would you like Joe Tate to return to Emmerdale?” 

Whilst the majority chose a romantic reuniting with Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb), the minority – 626 out of 13,000 votes – did opt for him to comeback with James. 

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV.

Look at Your Genes https://briefnews.eu/wonder-how-youll-do-in-college-look-at-your-genes/ https://briefnews.eu/wonder-how-youll-do-in-college-look-at-your-genes/#respond Wed, 02 Jan 2019 12:37:08 +0000 http://briefnews.eu/wonder-how-youll-do-in-college-look-at-your-genes/ Families and schools have a substantial influence on whether or not young people go to college but no effect on how well students perform once they get there, according to the first study of genetic and environmental influences on higher education.

In an effort to disentangle the factors that determine college enrollment and performance, researchers at King’s College London studied 3,000 pairs of identical and nonidentical twins and 3,000 other people in the U.K. Results were published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Genetic factors account for 51 percent of differences between high school graduates in whether or not they go on to university. What the researchers call “shared environment” — mainly school and family background — accounts for 36 percent, while “non-shared environment,” reflecting individual circumstances, contributes the remaining 13 percent.

Achievement, measured by the student’s final degree class, is determined 46 percent by genetics and 53 percent by non-shared or individual environment.

Although the study did not look specifically at students’ socioeconomic background, the findings support the view that teenagers from poor and disadvantaged families are less likely than their more privileged counterparts to proceed to a college education for which their genes are well-suited. Researchers suggested that admissions policies should take more of these social factors into account.

“You would expect heritability — the genetic influence — to increase in a fairer and more equitable society,” says Emily Smith-Woolley, one member of the research team at King’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience.

An earlier study by King’s researchers showed that shared environment played a big role in secondary education, accounting for 40 percent of differences in whether students choose to take A levels.

Once someone gets to college, the contribution of “shared environment” declines to less than 1 percent. Achievement, measured by the student’s final degree class, is determined 46 percent by genetics and 53 percent by non-shared or individual environment.

“Unlike secondary school, where students tend to share educational experiences, university provides young people with greater opportunity to be independent and to carve out their interests based on their natural abilities and aptitudes,” says Ziada Ayorech, another King’s researcher.

“Students’ unique environments — such as new friends and new experiences — appear to be explaining differences in university achievement and the role of shared environment becomes less significant,” Ayorech says.

Apart from studying the overall contribution of genes to educational achievement, scientists are beginning to identify some of the thousands of specific DNA variations responsible. The latest — and still unpublished — research suggests that up to 15 percent of variance in achievement may be predictable through a “polygenic score” based on detailed DNA analysis, says Smith-Woolley. Science is still a long way, though, from producing a useful genetic test for guiding young people to the best educational options.

Touring the world in a cruise can be one of the greatest experiences you can have. And, the pleasure for globe-trotting on a luxurious cruise ship doesn’t tend to come cheap. But, as with the majority of restaurants, it can be customary to add a tip for cruise workers to enjoy, if they have delivered exceptional service. And, while this sum of money isn’t necessarily expected, it seems that repeatedly ignoring this custom could be something that’s noticed by the team taking care of you.

In fact, according to www.cruise.co.uk, crew members have revealed that this is sometimes so much of an issue that they will address it in front of you.

However, that’s not to say that they would openly declare their dismay at the lack of a gratuity.

Rather, it has been claimed that some cruise workers may actually have a code word in order to alert other members of the team as to what’s happened.

So, if you fail to tip, or leave a rather low gratuity, what could you expect to hear?

According to the website, some disgruntled cruise workers may utter the word “banana”.

This is said to mean “bad tipper”.

It’s important to remember that it’s totally up to you as to whether you leave any additional money for the cruise crew to enjoy.

However, this custom is something many cruise-goers may like to do – in order to show their appreciation for the efforts that the team may have gone to.

But, this code word isn’t the only one to watch out for while on a cruise ship.

A highly common code is “PVI” – and what it stands for is something passengers are very likely to want to avoid.

That’s because it means “public vomiting incident”.

Travel expert Brandon Presser told Bloomberg he had heard this being said a number of times during one week of travelling on a cruise.

And, considering that sea sickness is something many people may struggle with, it won’t come as a surprise.

Another shocking aspect of a cruise which passengers used to have to do has been unveiled.

While it’s a very different story these days on modern cruise ships, almost 200 years ago, in 1842, guests onboard the ship had to wash their own plate and cutlery.

British author Charles Dickens revealed the activity – which would likely come as a surprise to some modern-day cruise-goers.

OTTAWA — Canadian athletes are not mincing their words when it comes to the World Anti-Doping Agency's decision to reinstate Russia's drug-testing program after a nearly three-year suspension over its widespread, state-sponsored doping scheme.

"I'm profoundly disappointed," Canadian Olympian Beckie Scott said Thursday of RUSADA's reinstatement. "I feel this was an opportunity for WADA and they have dealt a devastating blow to clean sport. I'm quite dismayed."

On Saturday, Scott resigned from WADA's compliance review committee and she isn't backing down about how she felt about the decision.

"Politics has trumped principle," Scott said Thursday. "This is very tough day for sport."

RUSADA was suspended in November 2015 after the scandal — which centred on helping Russian athletes win medals at the 2014 Sochi Olympics — was revealed.

At the Canadian Sport Awards in Ottawa Thursday, many of the country's top Olympians and Paralympians were confused, angry and disappointed in the decision and they weren't afraid of letting their feelings be known. 

Denny Morrison is a four-time Olympian in long track speed skating. He said if the goal is to encourage a positive change in the culture of sport, "we can't let the perpetrators continue without consequence.

"It's a poor decision by WADA that sends a disastrous message to the sporting world: Cheat and you'll get away with it.

"In Canada, we have to keep doing what's right and be an example for other nations," Morrison said.

Canadian lawyer and investigator Richard McLaren issued the damning report for WADA that concluded there was widespread, state-sanctioned doping among Russian athletes. Reached by Canadian Press Thursday in Lausanne, Switzerland, McLaren said his report still stands.

"Nobody has ever been able to say that this didn't occur," said McLaren, a Western University law professor. "Just because you deny, deny and deny, doesn't mean that it didn't occur. It just means that you're not prepared to say that it did. You're not prepared to admit it."

AthletesCAN, the association representing Canada's national team athletes, said in a statement its biggest concern remains WADA's willingness to shift its stance and compromise on criteria that had been previously established.

"This suggests arbitrary decision-making and subjective rule-making," AthletesCAN said. "We would like to highlight that athletes are not afforded that same opportunity to compromise or negotiate when sanctioned under the WADA code, which presents an inherent double standard."

WADA decided to reinstate Russia after backtracking on two key conditions: that Russia accept a report that concluded state involvement in the doping and coverups; and that Russia give access to evidence stored in its discredited Moscow laboratory.

CBC's Jacqueline Doorey on lead-up to controversial vote:

CBC Sports' Jacqueline Doorey gives a timeline of the ongoings leading up to WADA's vote to reinstate the Russian anti-doping agency. 2:49

AthletesCAN said in its statement it is concerned WADA is not acting independently of the International Olympic Committee and believes that any body tasked with upholding anti-doping and clean sport needs to be a truly independent organization. 

"Our position is not, and never has been, anti-Russian in nature, as we believe that all clean athletes should have the right to compete in a fair and equitable sporting arena. Our position is one about the effectiveness of WADA and their decision-making in regards to any country found to have systemic doping allegations," the statement said. 

Canadian Olympian Perdita Felicien said she's encouraged by the way Canadian athletes are rallying together and taking a strong stance against WADA's decision. 

"It's way too early to reinstate [RUSADA] considering what the crime was," Felicien said. "It's a bad day for clean sport.

"I think some people aren't comfortable rocking the boat maybe because of their brand or protecting their own interest,  but if you're truly a proponent of clean sport you have to speak the truth. We all have to speak up."

The head of the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport said he was "dismayed and disappointed" at the WADA decision.

"WADA is effectively thumbing their nose at the clean athletes," CCES president and chief executive officer Paul Melia said from Ottawa.

'A black day for athletes':

Investigative journalist Declan Hill discusses the fallout from WADA's decision to reinstate Russia's Anti-Doping Agency. 4:56

"Obviously Russia and the IOC have convinced WADA to change their mind on the roadmap and those criteria, so it proves that WADA is not able to act independently," Melia said. "It means that going forward the clean athletes, the anti-doping agencies, the governments of the world have to demand a reform to the governing structure of WADA because that executive committee is just a puppet of the IOC.

"That has to change going forward or we really don't have an effective international regulator for the code."

As for next steps, Russia has agreed to hand over samples and data by Dec. 31. If it doesn't, RUSADA will again be declared noncompliant.

"There's a lot of credibility on the line here," said Scott, who still leads the WADA athletes' group. "So I think a lot of people are going to be waiting and watching very closely what happens from here."

Google Maps Street View tends to capture the ordinary goings-on of most people’s lives  – with the majority having no idea they’ve been photographed.

So, every once in a while, some people snapped by the online mapping service really stand out, such as in this rare scene.

Google has photographed a man who appears to be having the best day of his life – and is making sure the world sees his celebration.

Viewers would assume something wonderful must have happened to the man, such as winning the lottery, but the reality is that the man was simply in the middle of cutting grass when he decided to show off his joy.

Nevertheless, this mundane activity has not curtailed his happiness and he can be seen leaping high off the ground and punching the air with jubilation.

While the lawnmower stands idle next to him, the gardener’s impressive jump sees his legs tucked under him.

One arm is reached straight up and the other bends behind him. His mouth is wide open in the excitement of the acrobatic move.

It’s unclear what the man is so euphoric about. Perhaps he did in fact just receive some good news or perhaps he really does get a thrill out of mowing the lawn.

However, the more likely explanation is that the gardener planned the jubilant caper.

It’s probable that he saw the Google car coming, and, keen to be immortalised on the mapping service, decided to bound into the air for the perfectly-timed jump.

The image was snapped in Massachusetts, USA in August 2012.

This is far from the first time people have leapt into humorous positions in order to be snapped by the Google camera.

On one occasion the Google car captured at first glance what appears to be a grisly murder. 

The seemingly tragic scene involves three builders at work on a suburban road.

A man in a blue T-shirt can be seen lying on the floor spread-eagled as another builder stands over him wielding a construction tool.

To all intents and purposes, it looks as though the man in the blue T-shirt has been felled by his colleague.

A third man looks on, an apparent witness to the incident.

However, on closer inspection, it becomes clear that the scene has been set up by the three pranksters.

The third man is looking at the Google car as it approaches and seems to be leaning far too casually on his tool to really be a witness to a murder.

What’s more, there is no sign of injury on the man in the blue shirt in the slightest.

The stance of the apparent ‘murderer’ is also rather posed and melodramatic.

Clearly, the trio saw the Google car approaching and decided to have some fun with the situation.

Weight loss can be particularly hard in summer, when social commitments increase and the warm weather encourages plans.

One thing the warm weather also encourages is drinking, which can be detrimental to achieving weight-loss goals.

A recent survey by Finder.com revealed that two thirds of Britons have no idea how man calories are in common alcoholic drinks.

Some boozy beverages can pack in as much as 155 calories per unit, with the average Briton consuming 1,815 calories per week from alcohol alone, equal to one pound of fat.

However, there are many options for drinking this summer that are more waistline friendly.

Brandy came out on top as the spirit with the lowest calorie count, containing just 50 calories per 25ml shot.

Dark in colour, brandy is usually thought of to contain more calories, but it actually packs in less than both vodka and gin.

A close second in the spirits category was vodka, which has 53 calories a shot.

Other clear spirits such as gin, white rum and tequila were also proven to be some of the best options for dieters, all having under 60 calories per shot.

Drunk with diet mixers or soda water, these spirits can offer a safer alternative to calorie-packed lagers and ciders, and even darker spirits such as whisky.

Surprisingly champagne fell in the same calorie category as clear spirits, having just 59 calories per unit.

A small glass of champagne, or indeed prosecco or cava, is the perfect summer tipple for Britons who are looking to shed pounds.

With only a few more calories than its sparkling counterparts, a small glass of dry white wine will only pack in around 85 calories.

Lengthening a small glass of white wine with soda water will keep the drink going for longer without adding any extra calories, perfect for summer dieters.

Wine and spirits aside, summer is more often than conducive to beer and cider drinking.

While beer knowingly packs in a lot more calories than white wine and spirits, there are certain beers that are more waist-line friendly.

When it comes to beer, Carling came out on top as the brew with the lowest amount of calories, with 195 calories a pint.

Kronenbourg 1664, in comparison, packs in around 250 calories.

Other ways to cut out as many calories as possible include opting for diet mixers or soda water.

The survey also revealed that dieters should stay away from sugar-laden alcopops, which can contain a staggering 155 calories per unit.

As spring turns to summer, students across the country — many in their early 20s — graduate college and join the workforce. But they shouldn’t get too comfortable in their new cubicles. According to a summary finding from a recent National Longitudinal Survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:

More than half of recent graduates ages 18 to 24 with a bachelor’s degree or higher left their jobs within a year.

To be precise, 55.3 percent of that demographic went job-hopping before they got their autogenerated congratulatory first-year email from human resources. Though the survey followed a group of people born between 1980 and 1984, experts believe it’s consistent long-term behavior as they trace the transition from school to work and adulthood and compare this generation’s actions to those of earlier generations. “Nothing is crazy in what we’re finding,” says Donna Rothstein, a research economist with the survey. “It looks very similar from year to year. There’s no big jump.”

Rothstein says the numbers from the most recent survey reflect similar results from a survey that followed members of the baby boomer generation, which found 69 percent of respondents ages 18 to 24 remained at their jobs less than a year, regardless of education level. “Basically, when they’re young there’s a lot of churning,” Rothstein says.

This latest group was first interviewed in 1997, and response rates from the 8,994 participants are 80-plus percent. While more than half of those surveyed with at least a bachelor’s degree left their job within a year at ages 18 to 24, those numbers shifted drastically for those older than 25. Data shows that as the subjects got older, they spent more time in each position and stopped the frequent job-hopping.

As for why job turnover tends to be higher among young people — like recent college graduates — Rothstein says it’s about finding jobs that are the right fit. “If you have a good match, it tends to last a lot of time,” she says. “[These young people] are trying to find a better match.”

To some extent, you have to be in charge of your own professional development.

Nicole Belyna, recruiting manager

Human resources professionals agree. “It forces employers to understand their turnover a little more,” says Nicole Belyna, a recruiting manager in Washington, D.C., and a member of the Society for Human Resource Management talent acquisition expertise panel.

And when young employees see benefits like pensions, raises and employer health insurance disappear, they discover moving around jobs has its own benefits, like learning new skills or earning higher pay. Belyna notes young employees find they often can advance in their fields more quickly at a new company than they can by staying put and waiting for a promotion or a raise — the time-honored move-out-to-move-up strategy. Switching jobs can help young members of the workforce find the best fit for them in terms of role and culture as well.

“To some extent, you have to be in charge of your own professional development,” Belyna says. “There is a mindset that if you don’t like the culture of where you are … or if what’s important to you in a workplace changes, you’ve got the opportunity to start fresh.”

So, to any recent graduates who find themselves in jobs that feel like the wrong fit, it’s OK to leave within the year. Half of your peers — as well as generations of workers before you — have your back.

Halfords children on bikesHalfords

A bike trip with the family is a great way to keep everyone happy this weekend

Cycling is a worthy option for keeping all the family entertained – it’s fun, free, good exercise, and a fantastic way to experience the sights and sounds of the great outdoors.

And it’s easy to take the kids out to see different parts of the UK on the bikes, with a National Cycle Network of 14,000 traffic-free or quiet on-road miles up and down the country to be explored on two wheels.

Here are our four favourite bike rides in the country that the whole family will enjoy, with some helpful advice from Halfords to ensure all goes smoothly.

The Camel Trail, Cornwall

One of the most popular and entertaining routes in the country, the Camel Trail runs from Padstow to Poley’s Bridge, via Wadebridge and Bodmin.

The 17.3-mile (27.8 km), trail passes through the wooded countryside of the upper Camel Valley and alongside the charming Camel Estuary. 

The cycle trail was once a railway built so trains did not have to negotiate steep inclines or sharp turns. Car parks break up the route into 5-mile (8km), sections suitable for families.

To combat the terrain, the Carrera Sulcata bike from Halfords will have adults soaring over obstacles and the 21 gears will help you tackle any hills. It’s part of a range of bikes with 20 per cent off at Halfords.

Too busy to shop? You can reserve via Click and Collect, and your bike will be built for free so you’re ready to go.

Halfords Carrera Sulcata bikeHalfords

South Coast Promenades – Worthing to Brighton

This route is largely traffic free and it takes you along the coast, where you can admire the beaches of Worthing and Brighton on one side, and the South Downs in the distance on the other.

The surfaces along the way are flat and comfortable for children, so they’ll enjoy riding alongside you taking in the coastal scenes.

If your kids are new to the saddle, Halfords will measure and fit your bikes to find the perfect size – and even fit stabilisers if needed.

The Apollo Cupcake bike (ages 3-5), makes a great first bike, or for older children, the Apollo Gridlok (ages 8-11), has front suspension for improved comfort and control. Alternatively, the Apollo Envy bike (ages 7-9), is as comfortable on roads as it is tracks. 

Need to dig out your old bikes from storage? Halfords’ team can carry out a Free Bike Check – and offer a range of services to ensure that your bike is in tip-top condition.

They will even conduct a free check on any bike bought at Halfords once you’ve had it for six weeks, to make sure all is well.

Three Parks Trail, South Wales

This easy, traffic-free ride takes in three of Wales’ most picturesque parks.

At Hengoed you’ll ride past the magnificent ‘Wheel of Drams’ artwork, an eight-metre high sculpture constructed from old coal carts, known as ‘drams’.

Worrying about how you’ll get your bikes to your cycling adventure? Halfords currently has 20 per cent off a range of cycle carriers – for example, this Thule bike rack. It’s currently ‘buy one get one half price’ at Halfords – including free fitting – along with a range of 20 per cent off cycle racks.

Halfords’ experts can fit your bike rack to your car’s roof bars for you, and if you don’t have roof bars fitted, you can find out which are right for your car here.

When taking the car on a road trip to Wales, a free Halfords Summer Car Check will ensure that you’re not making any surprise pit stops en route.

Book online or just pop into your local store and you’ll get a free car bulb and battery check, as well as checks on your wiper blades, engine oil level, air conditioning and any windscreen chips. They’ll even give you a free screenwash top-up.

Halfords’ in-store experts can fit almost anything including wiper blades, stereos, dash cams, sat navs, cycle racks, roofboxes and batteries. Pop in-store or go online to find out more about WeFit, Halfords’ fitting service.

Bristol to Bath Path, Bristol

This well-loved path features a variety of sculptures and a working steam engine at the old train station at Bitton that the kids will love.

On the way, stop off to enjoy a pub lunch at Saltford, and take in the picturesque views of the River Avon.

In Bath, you’ll find plenty of ways to spend the rest of your day, including the Roman baths, art galleries, shopping and botanical gardens.

Your children can even ride like (modern day) Romans in their own chariot powered by your legs, in the Halfords Double Bike Trailer (50lbs weight limit per child, not for use with a child under 12 months old).

If they want to be slightly closer to you, the Hamax Rear Child Bike Seat (suitable for children older than 9 months and up to 22kg), is the perfect solution. Both are currently half price in-store and online.
