Jada Kingdom v. Stefflon Don
As the old saying goes: Think of the messiest person you know. It’s a man, ain’t it?
At the eye of the hurricane that was Jada Kingdom and Stefflon Don’s five-song clash lies Grammy-winning Afrobeats crossover star Burna Boy. The “Last Last” singer is an ex of Stefflon Don’s, and once pictures of Jada and him started making the rounds on social media, tensions began to rise.

Rishi Sunak's Rwanda bill will finally become law after a parliamentary showdown ended late in the night.
Plans to send some asylum seekers to Africa have met with fierce criticism, but the bill passed on Monday when the Lords dropped their opposition.
Mr Sunak said in a statement "nothing will stand in our way" now of getting flights off the ground.
But the scheme could still be held up by challenges in the courts.
Ahead of the bill passing, the prime minister said flights to Rwanda would take off within 10 to 12 weeks, missing his original spring target.
In a statement on Tuesday, he called the passing of the Rwanda bill "not just a step forward but a fundamental change in the global equation on migration".
He said: "We introduced the Rwanda bill to deter vulnerable migrants from making perilous crossings and break the business model of the criminal gangs who exploit them.
"The passing of this legislation will allow us to do that and make it very clear that if you come here illegally, you will not be able to stay.
"Our focus is to now get flights off the ground, and I am clear that nothing will stand in our way of doing that and saving lives."
But shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper called the Rwanda plan an "extortionately expensive gimmick".
Charities have also hit out at the scheme, with leading human rights groups describing it as a "breach of international law".
During a live TV report by the BBC's home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds in Calais on Tuesday morning, a group of about 30 migrants boarded a small boat on the beach and could be seen heading out into the Channel towards the UK.
Asked about the moment shortly after during an interview on BBC Breakfast, Minister for Illegal Migration Michael Tomlinson said the bill passing was a "landmark moment", and that the deterrent would be felt when flights get off the ground.
"The numbers will start off small but there will be a regular rhythm of flights… thousands of people will eventually be removed to Rwanda and the deterrent effect will kick in," he said.
A lawyer representing some of those who could potentially be sent to Rwanda suggested there may be other routes to stop flights taking off.
Nicholas Hughes, a solicitor at law firm Duncan Lewis, represents dozens of people who were affected when the flights were first planned in 2022, and said they are likely to represent clients selected for potential future flights to Rwanda.
He said his clients would be given seven days' notice if they are chosen to be removed to Rwanda, giving him a "very brief window" to explain to the Home Office why they would be unsafe there.
A person's removal to Rwanda would be rendered unsafe, he said, if they had mental or physical health issues, or were a victim of trafficking or torture, but added that given the time frame, getting that medical evidence could be challenging.
Asked how certain he was that he would be able to prevent clients being sent to Rwanda, he said: "We'll do everything we can."
The government plans have been stalled since November, when the UK Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Rwanda scheme was unlawful.
On Monday, the prime minister said flights were booked to take off as soon the legislation was passed and 500 staff were ready to escort migrants "all the way to Rwanda".
"Plans are in place. And these flights will go, come what may," he said, adding he wanted to create "a drumbeat of multiple flights a month... because that's how you build a systematic deterrent and that's how you'll stop the boats".
A gruelling parliamentary back-and-forth between the Commons and House of Lords saw the bill sent back to MPs five times before coming to an end.
After so many setbacks, the passing of the bill was a political win for the prime minister.

Jane Opher, 61, in London, said she was "traumatised" after being told she and her partner couldn't board their flight to Barcelona at Gatwick in February, even though they'd checked in online.
"I was just saying to my partner that I must renew my passport soon, as we walked along the bridge to get to the boarding gate. It was very stressful and humiliating to have to be escorted back through the airport like a criminal," she said.
Jane, who used to live in Barcelona and was travelling to see friends, was left hundreds of pounds out of pocket after having to rearrange the trip with her partner.
The architect spent about £400 on last minute replacement flights and a fast tracked passport.
She says the issue with her passport was "a technicality" the airlines should be able to deal with.
"I feel lucky I was going on holiday and it wasn't an urgent visit like a funeral.
"As someone who used to live in Spain, I feel angry that I cannot go to Spain as easily as I used to," she added.
The effects of human-caused global warming are happening now, are irreversible for people alive today, and will worsen as long as humans add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
TAKEAWAYS
The potential future effects of global climate change include more frequent wildfires, longer periods of drought in some regions, and an increase in the wind intensity and rainfall from tropical cyclones.

Global climate change is not a future problem. Changes to Earth’s climate driven by increased human emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases are already having widespread effects on the environment: glaciers and ice sheets are shrinking, river and lake ice is breaking up earlier, plant and animal geographic ranges are shifting, and plants and trees are blooming sooner.
Effects that scientists had long predicted would result from global climate change are now occurring, such as sea ice loss, accelerated sea level rise, and longer, more intense heat waves.
"The magnitude and rate of climate change and associated risks depend strongly on near-term mitigation and adaptation actions, and projected adverse impacts and related losses and damages escalate with every increment of global warming."- Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Some changes (such as droughts, wildfires, and extreme rainfall) are happening faster than scientists previously assessed. In fact, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) — the United Nations body established to assess the science related to climate change — modern humans have never before seen the observed changes in our global climate, and some of these changes are irreversible over the next hundreds to thousands of years.
Scientists have high confidence that global temperatures will continue to rise for many decades, mainly due to greenhouse gases produced by human activities.

The Issa family marked the 100th anniversary of their arrival in Jamaica on August 11, 1993, according to Mrs. Bertha Issa-Ghisays, a direct descendant of the first Issas to come to Jamaica.
Originally from Bethlehem, Palestine, the first two Issa’s to come to Jamaica were Elias Issa and his son Abraham Issa in 1893. The father and son team first visited the Columbia World Fair in Chicago before coming to Jamaica on a ship named the Arabian Prince.
Speaking of Elias Issa, (her grandfather), Mrs. Issa Ghisays said that “when he came he didn’t come poor”, as she noted that “five thousand pounds in those days was worth $5million today.”
The family grew from strength to strength establishing the House of Issa in 1894 and later owing the famous Myrtle Bank Hotel. In 1938, the Issa family established the Issa scholarship, a beneficiary of which was former bank of Jamaica Governor, G. Arthur Brown. The scholarship is still offered today.
Descendants of Elias Issa include: John Issa, O.D., Co-Chairman of SuperClubs Resorts; Richard Issa, Co-Chairman House of Issa and Lee Issa, Chairman of Swept Away Resorts in Negril. Another descendant was the late Bobby Ghisays, famous actor and journalist.
Excitement among patients and researchers as custom-built jabs enter phase 3 trial

Doctors have begun trialling in hundreds of patients the world’s first personalised mRNA cancer vaccine for melanoma, as experts hailed its “gamechanging” potential to permanently cure cancer.
Melanoma affects about 132,000 people a year globally and is the biggest skin cancer killer. Currently, surgery is the main treatment although radiotherapy, medicines and chemotherapy are also sometimes used.
Now experts are testing new jabs that are custom-built for each patient and tell their body to hunt down cancer cells to prevent the disease ever coming back.
A phase 2 trial found the vaccines dramatically reduced the risk of the cancer returning in melanoma patients. Now a final, phase 3, trial has been launched and is being led by University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH).
Dr Heather Shaw, the national coordinating investigator for the trial, said the jabs had the potential to cure people with melanoma and are being tested in other cancers, including lung, bladder and kidney.
“This is one of the most exciting things we’ve seen in a really long time,” said Shaw. “This is a really finely honed tool. To be able to sit there and say to your patients that you’re offering them something that’s effectively like the Fat Duck at Bray versus McDonald’s – it’s that level of cordon bleu that’s coming to them … The patients are really excited about them.”
The vaccine is an individualised neoantigen therapy. It is designed to trigger the immune system so it can fight back against a patient’s specific type of cancer and tumour.
Known as mRNA-4157 (V940), the vaccine targets tumour neoantigens, which are expressed by tumours in a particular patient. These are markers on the tumour that can potentially be recognised by the immune system.
The jab carries coding for up to 34 neoantigens and activates an anti-tumour immune response based on the unique mutations in a patient’s cancer.
To personalise it, a sample of tumour is removed during the patient’s surgery, followed by DNA sequencing and the use of artificial intelligence. The result is a custom-built anti-cancer jab that is specific to the patient’s tumour.
“They may have some shared new antigens, but they’re likely to have their own very individual new antigens that are important to their tumour and so, therefore, it is truly personalised.”
The ultimate aim to permanently cure patients of their cancer, Shaw said. “I think there is a real hope that these will be the gamechangers in immunotherapy,” she said.
Phase 2 data found people with serious high-risk melanomas who had the jab alongside the immunotherapy Keytruda were almost half (49%) as likely to die or have their cancer come back after three years than those who were given only Keytruda.
Patients received 1mg of the mRNA vaccine every three weeks for a maximum of nine doses, and 200mg of Keytruda every three weeks (maximum 18 doses) for about a year.
The phase 3 global trial will now include a wider range of patients, and aims to recruit about 1,100 people. The UK arm aims to recruit at least 60 to 70 patients across eight centres, including in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Leeds.
One of the first patients on the trial at UCLH is Steve Young, 52, from Stevenage in Hertfordshire. “I’m really, really excited,” he said. “This is my best chance at stopping the cancer in its tracks.”

Research suggests that apple cider vinegar may have beneficial health properties, including antimicrobial and antioxidant effects.
Apple cider vinegar is a popular home remedy. People have used it for centuries in cooking and natural medicine. It may have some health benefits.
These may include:
However, little research exists, and further studies are needed before it can be recommended as an alternative therapy.
This article examines the evidence behind six possible health benefits of apple cider vinegar.
Acetic acid is vinegar’s primary active compound, giving it its strong sour smell and flavor. Researchers believe this acid is responsible for apple cider vinegar’s health benefits. Cider vinegars contain about 5%Trusted Source acetic acid.
Organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegarTrusted Source also contains a substance called mother, which consists of strands of proteins, enzymes, and friendly bacteria that give the product a murky appearance.
Some believe the mother is responsible for most of its health benefits, although no studies support this.
While apple cider vinegar does not contain many vitamins or minerals, quality brands may contain some amino acids and antioxidants.

History was written—England captured Jamaica from the Spaniards under Oliver Cromwell in 1655. Much of this history has been retold by Edward Long, best known for his first socio-economic and political study The History of Jamaica. His polemic supported the enslavement of African and Caribbean people and the monopolies and monocultures played out through the natural environment.
These testimonies address some of Long’s claims. A slave woman tells of the naming of Catherine’s Peak and the erasure of the achievements of Black Jamaicans in the field of natural history. A mystic takes us back to the Spanish occupation. The maroons Juan de Bolas and Juan de Serras grieve their fate and the tragic future that came with sugarcane. These are imaginings of what the people who lived through this wrestling of Jamaica might have said, given the chance.

The fruits of the Caribbean epitomize the abundant vitality of the plants that nurture them: they are the seeds, the life force, and the crowning glory of distinct vegetation. They represent living sustenance, a direct embodiment of the native environment; perpetually abundant, unfurling their full spectrum of flavors, hues, and scents in the delightful array of local varieties. While some are exclusive to this region, others, as wanderers, have ventured far and wide across continents before finding their current abode.
Within this feature from Inspiration Guide, we'll explore some of the most sought-after tropical fruits of the Caribbean. These delights can be savored in destinations such as Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica. Picture yourself reclining in a hammock, with a backdrop of serene turquoise waters, accompanied by a revitalizing cocktail or a platter of freshly sliced fruits, relishing every nuance of the moment while unwinding in one of the all-inclusive Iberostar hotels.
The mango is one of the most widely recognized and cherished fruits in the Caribbean, celebrated worldwide. Despite its Asian origins, particularly traced back to the historic lands of the Himalayas, its thriving cultivation in countries like Mexico, where it is presently grown in as many as twenty-three different states, has firmly established it as a quintessential product of tropical regions. Rich in vitamin C, and B-group vitamins, along with essential minerals like potassium, selenium, iron, and magnesium, mango boasts an impressive nutritional profile that supports healthy skin and hair. Moreover, its pulp harbors an enzyme that aids in
In Mexican street cuisine, a popular classic involves tender or green mango paired with Tajín seasoning. Preparing it this way elevates the natural flavor of the mango with a blend of diverse spices: fiery chili, zesty lime zest, salt, and toasted, ground pumpkin seeds. Another beloved concoction is the mangonada, a traditional beverage crafted from mango juice, agave nectar, lemon, chamoy, tamarind, ice, and a generous dusting of Tajín chili. It serves as a revitalizing remedy for the sweltering days of the year.
For those seeking a delectable sweet and spicy twist, there's the mango sauce recipe. This tantalizing blend incorporates red or yellow bell pepper, red onion, jalapeños or green chili, corn, cilantro, lime juice, pepper, and salt. It's relished as a quick nibble with tortilla chips and nachos, used as a flavorful dressing for tacos and salads, and even employed as a flavorful accompaniment for meats and fish.
Mamey, alternatively referred to as sapote in Mexico, is distinguished by its lusciously sweet flavor and velvety consistency. Much like other exotic fruits with roots in pre-Columbian times, its name stems from the Nahuatl language. In this instance, it not only denotes its reddish hue but also signifies "fruit," underscoring its significance for indigenous communities. There was a period when it was customary to offer deities fruits, grains, and seeds in the sacred spaces of the Riviera Maya, such as the iconic pyramid of Chichén Itzá. This tradition reflects the enduring presence of the earth's bounty in Mexican customs and traditions.
Mamey is attributed with a range of medicinal properties, addressing issues related to vision, muscles, bones, and the digestive system. It boasts a water content of 75%, along with essential components like carbohydrates, vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and phosphorus. Its vibrant color is a testament to its high concentration of beta-carotene, a natural compound that fortifies cells and enhances the immune system's defenses.
Certain flavors hold a profound connection to cultural heritage and regional produce. This is exemplified by mamey bread, a time-honored creation featuring this quintessential Caribbean fruit. It takes the form of a sweet dessert similar to a traditional cake, composed of eggs, flour, yeast, butter, evaporated milk or cream, and sugar. Additionally, it may be topped with nuts, cinnamon, and occasionally a hint of pepper, rendering it a delightful and distinctive culinary treasure
Caribbean fruits boast captivating shapes and vibrant hues. The carambola, often referred to as starfruit due to its striking resemblance to a bright yellow star, exemplifies this. Every part of this fragrant delicacy, including the skin, is edible, offering a crisp and juicy experience. While its origins trace back to Sri Lanka, India, and Indonesia, it has now found a thriving home in various other parts of the world with a tropical climate, such as Cancun, Mexico. In Jamaica, it is commonly dried and enjoyed in its dehydrated form. Abundant in fiber, it aids in maintaining healthy intestinal function and serves as a valuable reservoir of vital nutrients including calcium, phosphorus, and potassium, along with vitamins A and C

It’s one of the first things we’re told when getting into physical activity. But why is pacing yourself so important?
The old proverb says ‘no pain, no gain’. But struggling on if you’re in pain can actually be detrimental to your health and wellbeing.
In fact, this attitude of pushing through regardless can cause flare ups in pain or fatigue, leaving you debilitated, demotivated and possibly depressed. It might be days or weeks before you can have another go, and this time around, pain may come even earlier due to increased sensitivities in your tissues, which ultimately leads to a decrease in your overall activity levels. This is known as the boom-bust cycle.
That’s why pacing yourself is so important, because it allows you to continue physical activity without being hampered by pain and/or fatigue. Pacing yourself means listening to your body and knowing your limits, adjusting things where needed and gradually increasing over time, so you can get back to the things you enjoy.
Pacing isn’t only relevant to exercise either, you should also pace yourself when doing day-to-day activities such as shopping, cleaning or gardening.
It’s important to note that when it comes to long-term conditions or ill health, recovery is not a straight line; it’s quite normal to have good and bad days. But just ensure you don’t overdo things on good days.
Successful pacing will create a balance between your energy and activity levels, increase your confidence with exercise, maintain your motivation with activity, reduce pain and increase your endurance, both muscular and cardiovascular.
To know what pacing means for you, you need to know how much activity you can do before a flare up occurs, which we call your baseline level. This is different for everyone and depends on you, your condition, your existing fitness and any other factors that affect your physical health.
Let’s use an everyday example to work out our baseline. Arthur has fibromyalgia, and wants to vacuum his whole house, which takes roughly 50 minutes, but he’s never finished without having a flare up. He’s not sure, but he thinks 30 minutes would cause a flare up, thinking he might be able to manage 20 minutes. He knows for sure that he could manage 15 minutes. Therefore 15 minutes is his baseline. (You can repeat this process for every activity and measure your baseline in distance or number of repetitions you can do.)
We won’t be able to make progress if we only ever stay at our baseline though, which is why we should aim to make small improvements over time. A gradual increase in the frequency, intensity, time, weight or distance is required for successful pacing. You could also try a gradual decrease in rest time.
Whatever it is, just make sure you’re comfortable with the adjustment before you increase further. And you don’t need to increase things every day or even every week or month. You could increase activity by 30 seconds in six weeks, that’s still progress. Just go at your own pace.
Here are some tips for successful pacing.

Positive reviews› DomiNav5.0 out of 5 starsHIGHLY Reduced My Seasonal Allergies!!!!!Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2015I was not sure about trying this at first. My mom had been taking Noni for a few years and telling me that it helped her energy level and allergies. I thought that she was getting benefits from Noni out of "faith in it". Back then it sounded too good to be true....now I wish I would have listened too her and tried it sooner!
At my regular Chiropractic visit one day I was complaining about my allergies and sinus pressure. I mentioned to my Chiro that I was taking a cocktail of medicine each day to to keep the symptoms tolerable.
He mentioned that he used to do the same, until he started taking Noni. He has been taking Noni shots everyday for 7 years! He swore by it and said that he hardly ever needs allergy meds. now. I was sold! I knew that it was no coincidence that my mom and my Chiro definitely felt better!
He told me to go find the Noni by Morinda. I found the best price here on Amazon $120.00/4bottles (40.00 Savings) and started taking it right away! This was a couple of months ago and I have been taking it ever since. My allergies are 75% better now and getting better by the day! I can really feel it if I miss a Noni dose! I highly recommend it on an empty stomach. If you have seasonal allergies you will see results in about 1 month... so stick with it!
You will have an overall feeling of wellness right away!

Jamaican drug kingpin Christopher 'Dudus' Coke has been moved to a low-security prison with "no bars, towers, or locks" to complete his 23-year prison sentence in the United States (US).
Jamaican drug kingpin Christopher 'Dudus' Coke has been moved to a low-security prison with "no bars, towers, or locks" to complete his 23-year prison sentence in the United States (US).
Coke was first housed at the high-security Metropolitan Detention Centre, located in Brooklyn, New York, in the days after he was extradited from Jamaica, and remained there for a while after his conviction.
More than 70 persons, including a member of the Jamaica Defence Force, were killed in West Kingston in May 2010 as heavily armed thugs loyal to Coke battled the security forces for over two days to prevent his arrest and extradition. He was extradited to the US a month later.
In 2013, Coke was transferred from New York to the Edgefield FCI, located near the border of South Carolina and Georgia.
The Fort Dix FCI said that the average age of inmates at the facility is 41, while the average sentence is 11 years.
"Most inmates are from this area, and there is a large number of deportable aliens confined here," the institution revealed.
Coke is scheduled to be released on July 4, 2030, according to the US Bureau of Prisons.
Reports of the latest transfer come more than a week after Coke's younger brother, Leighton 'Livity' Coke, was shot and injured at Hellshire Beach in St Catherine

Jamaican Dance Steps, contributed by Tracie Blake.
Our ancestral heritage derives mainly from Africa. And you know, the Africans are a vibrant and physically expressive people, so not only are the dances for fun, they are also a medium of self expression.
Thanks to a strong culture, many of the traditional dances were passed on to us, but there are many new, contemporary dances that has been rocking Jamaican dancehall, and Jamaica in general for the last few decades. Old or new, emphasis is usually placed on body movements, rhythm and beat.
The early stages of Jamaican Dance Moves started with the Dinki Mini and Bruckins Parties which are now mainly practiced at Independence/Emancipation time.
These are processional dances where all participants dress up in costumes and the dance moves are performed in a uniformed way depicting naturally exhumed choreography. Over the years, these foundations have remained but evolved and progressed into new dances which are a graze worldwide.
After these dances came the ska (fast movements of the hips and flailing of the arms between the legs) and rock steady (slow movements of the hips and arms being held close to the body) which has culminated into dance hall moves consisting of a vast combination of movements.
Here are a few of today's contemporary Jamaican dance hall moves:

Well, although not to 'new' anymore, it is still a favourite. The dancer points the hands toward the air in a flailing steady motion while moving the body back and forth in a snake-like movement.
Heel-And-Toe
This dance involves jumping slightly off the ground and landing with your right foot directly in front of your left foot with one foot landing on the heel and the other on the toe and pivoting in a circle with the arms and upper torso moving to the rhythm of the music.
Here are some of the expected effects of global climate change on the United States, according to the Third and Fourth National Climate Assessment Reports.
Global sea level has risen about 8 inches (0.2 meters) since reliable record-keeping began in 1880. By 2100, scientists project that it will rise at least another foot (0.3 meters), but possibly as high as 6.6 feet (2 meters) in a high-emissions scenario. Sea level is rising because of added water from melting land ice and the expansion of seawater as it warms.
Global climate is projected to continue warming over this century and beyond.
Scientists project that hurricane-associated storm intensity and rainfall rates will increase as the climate continues to warm.
Droughts in the Southwest and heat waves (periods of abnormally hot weather lasting days to weeks) are projected to become more intense, and cold waves less intense and less frequent.
Warming temperatures have extended and intensified wildfire season in the West, where long-term drought in the region has heightened the risk of fires. Scientists estimate that human-caused climate change has already doubled the area of forest burned in recent decades. By around 2050, the amount of land consumed by wildfires in Western states is projected to further increase by two to six times. Even in traditionally rainy regions like the Southeast, wildfires are projected to increase by about 30%.
Climate change is having an uneven effect on precipitation (rain and snow) in the United States, with some locations experiencing increased precipitation and flooding, while others suffer from drought. On average, more winter and spring precipitation is projected for the northern United States, and less for the Southwest, over this century.
The length of the frost-free season, and the corresponding growing season, has been increasing since the 1980s, with the largest increases occurring in the western United States. Across the United States, the growing season is projected to continue to lengthen, which will affect ecosystems and agriculture.
Summer of 2023 was Earth's hottest summer on record, 0.41 degrees Fahrenheit (F) (0.23 degrees Celsius (C)) warmer than any other summer in NASA’s record and 2.1 degrees F (1.2 C) warmer than the average summer between 1951 and 1980.
Sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean is expected to continue decreasing, and the Arctic Ocean will very likely become essentially ice-free in late summer if current projections hold. This change is expected to occur before mid-century.

Noni juice has a number of potential benefits. Still, it’s important to keep in mind that research into this fruit is relatively recent — and more studies are needed on many of these health effects.
Noni juice may reduce cellular damage — particularly from tobacco smoke.
Exposure to tobacco smoke generates dangerous amounts of free radicals. Excessive amounts can cause cellular damage and lead to oxidative stress (14Trusted Source).
Oxidative stress is associated with many ailments, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Studies show that consuming foods rich in antioxidants may reduce oxidative stress (15Trusted Source, 16Trusted Source, 17Trusted Source, 18Trusted Source).
In one study, heavy tobacco smokers were given 4 ounces (118 ml) of noni juice per day. After 1 month, they experienced a 30% reduction of two common free radicals compared to their baseline levels (19Trusted Source).
Tobacco smoke is also known to cause cancer. Certain chemicals from tobacco smoke may bind to cells in your body and lead to tumor growth (13Trusted Source, 14Trusted Source).
Noni juice may reduce levels of these cancer-causing chemicals. Two clinical trials found that drinking 4 ounces (118 ml) of noni juice daily for 1 month reduced the levels of cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smokers by about 45% (13Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source).
Yet, noni juice does not negate all of smoking’s negative health effects — and should not be considered a replacement for quitting.
Noni juice may support heart health by lowering cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation.
Cholesterol has many important functions in your body, but certain types in excess may increase your risk of heart disease — as may chronic inflammation (21Trusted Source, 22Trusted Source, 23Trusted Source).
One study found that drinking up to 6.4 ounces (188 ml) of noni juice per day for 1 month significantly reduced total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, and the inflammatory blood marker C-reactive protein (24Trusted Source).
However, the subjects of the study were heavy cigarette smokers, so the results cannot be generalized to all people. Researchers suspect that noni juice’s antioxidants may reduce the high cholesterol levels caused by smoking tobacco (24Trusted Source).
A separate, 30-day study gave non-smokers 2 ounces (59 ml) of noni juice twice daily. Participants did not experience significant changes in cholesterol levels (25).
These results suggest that the cholesterol-lowering effect of noni juice may only apply to heavy cigarette smokers.
That said, more research on noni juice and cholesterol is needed.
Noni juice may improve physical endurance. In fact, Pacific Islanders believed that eating noni fruit strengthened the body during long fishing trips and voyages (9Trusted Source).
A few studies show positive effects of drinking noni juice during exercise.
For example, one 3-week study gave long-distance runners 3.4 ounces (100 ml) of noni juice or a placebo twice daily. The group that drank noni juice experienced a 21% increase in average time to fatigue, which suggests improved endurance (26).
Other human and animal research reports similar findings for using noni juice to combat fatigueand improve endurance (9Trusted Source, 27Trusted Source).
The increase in physical endurance associated with noni juice is likely related to its antioxidants — which may reduce the damage to muscle tissue that normally occurs during exercise (9Trusted Source).
For over 2,000 years, noni fruit has been used in traditional folk medicine for its pain-relieving effects. Some research now supports this benefit.
For instance, in a 1-month study, people with degenerative arthritis of the spine took 0.5 ounces (15 ml) of noni juice twice daily. The noni juice group reported a significantly lower pain score — with complete relief of neck pain in 60% of participants (28).
In a similar study, people with osteoarthritis took 3 ounces (89 ml) of noni juice daily. After 90 days, they experienced a significant decrease in the frequency and severity of arthritis pain, as well as an improved quality of life (29).
Arthritis pain is often associated with increased inflammation and oxidative stress. Therefore, noni juice may provide natural pain relief by reducing inflammation and combatting free radicals (30Trusted Source, 31Trusted Source).
Noni juice may support immune health.
Like some other fruit juices, it’s is rich in vitamin C. For example, 3.5 ounces (100 ml) of Tahitian Noni Juice packs about 33% of the RDI for this vitamin.
Vitamin C supports your immune system by protecting your cells from free radical damage and environmental toxins (32Trusted Source).
Many other antioxidants present in noni juice — such as beta carotene — may improve immune health as well.
One small, 8-week study found that healthy people who drank 11 ounces (330 ml) of noni juice daily had increased immune cell activity and lower levels of oxidative stress (6Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source, 10Trusted Source).
SUMMARYNoni juice has numerous potential benefits, including boosting endurance, relieving pain, supporting your immune system, reducing cellular damage caused by tobacco smoke, and aiding heart health in smokers.
Listed below are some great reasons that might encourage you to take a spa treatment of your choice.
Just like the pub or the park, spas are now widely seen as a place one can hang out. More people are visiting spas in groups.
People tend to use that as a motivating factor to visit the spa regularly. Friends and family usually make the sessions lively. It offers the perfect avenue for you to interact while receiving your treatment.
Detoxification is getting rid of the unhealthy and toxic substances from the body. There’s no better place to do that than a spa specializing in this field. Not only will your body be free of unwanted substances, but you can lose weight.
During detoxification, the body will convert the fat reserves to energy. While fats are getting broken down, toxins are released into the bloodstream, and the excretory system will do its job.
3. Improve Confidence and Self Esteem
People who visit the spa for treatments are generally happy. This happiness can be equated to positive energy and feel.
The feel-good factor can be easily transferred to the people around and changing how you approach things significantly. It will give more zeal when talking and addressing issues to people. That’s why a lot of people tend to visit the spa as a morning ritual.
You will have a great day full of a good outcome. You can also use treatment as a way of calming your nerves when approaching a big event.
Having a massage session will calm the sympathetic nervous system that’s responsible for raising blood pressure. High blood pressure is risky because it leads to heart disease.
The hot water in a spa bath and a massage will lower your blood pressure while increasing your heart rate. It will make the circulatory system work excellently well, thus by far improving your cardiovascular wellness.
Spas are very common with visitors looking to get rid of back pains and the general protection of their spine. A massage works wonders in reducing or removing such pain, consider it a therapy session.
The increased flow of blood throughout the body helps in getting rid of stiffness, aches, muscle tension, and pain. Tissue elasticity will also make you more flexible as an added benefit.
Works well with athletes who are recovering from an injury and people who have arthritis.
There’s an alarming rate of increase in people suffering from mental health issues. Having a regular visit to the spa will ensure you’re not part of this statistic.
Not only will your spa treatment clear your mind during and after it, but it will also ease your sleeping patterns at night. Sleep is essential in reducing stresstowards a better mental health record.
Reducing stress can still be achieved due to the celebrity treatment you get at the spa and the relaxing feeling. It’s relatively healthy for a man to feel good and appreciated whenever they are accorded first class service. This is the norm while getting a spa treatment.
A spa offers a variety of treatments that will enable you to lose weight. A slimming body wrap will come in handy to achieve weight loss.
You’ll be covered in a heated blanket after getting bandaged in mineral socked clothes.
Cool sculpting can also be done to facilitate weight loss. It’s the process of freezing fat cells beneath your skin. It’s recommended because you get to choose the specific area you want to cut the fat.
A spa treatment provides one of the best ways to enjoy your peace of mind and meditate. Meditation increases one’s happiness and improves your concentration by a mile.
Many spas offer yoga classes. It’s proven that yoga is one of the best ways to meditate. Yoga will come as an added advantage because your flexibility and fitness will massively improve and be at par with your meditation skill.
A clear mind enhances better decision making.
Spas are best known for the numerous skin treatment options that they offer. Exfoliation is one of the most common skin treatment therapies. SMoother skin is achieved by extracting dead skin and rough cells.
This is how softer and glowing skin comes about. The dead cells usually prevent the skin from being smooth. Organic facials can really improve your skin tone.
Other forms of making the skin better include treatments like extractions, which is where blemishes are manually removed from the surface.
Getting a spa treatment might be the perfect way to relax after a long day mulled by activities. You can make a spa your spot for recharging to face new challenges that the day brings.
A spa offers a completely different environment, almost replicating another world. You can use the lack of distraction as an excellent way to relax both your body and mind.
This is one of the main reasons why people visit spas for treatment.
Sound systems have driven the development of music in the UK, powered by hard work, passion and innovation. But preserving UK sound system culture, its knowledge and history, while also pushing it forward, is no easy task today. Ria Hylton traces its path through ska and reggae at blues dances in West Indian households, to soul, boogie, hip-hop and house in ’80s warehouses and at the Notting Hill Carnival, to nationwide tours and global popularity, and finds out how initiatives like the Sound System Futures Programme are seeking to secure its future
It’s the Thursday before Notting Hill Carnival and Linett Kamala, board director of Europe’s biggest street party, is weaving through the streets of Kilburn. Her Mini moves westwards, slowed by mid-evening traffic, and arrives on a quiet industrial estate in Wembley, just after 7pm. Kamala, who founded the Sound System Futures Programme, greets her teammates, Darren Watson and Terry Hooligan, and together the trio scale the narrow stairs to a brightly lit room on the top floor. Two students in the programme sit quietly among DJ equipment, awaiting instruction.
In 1985, Kamala was the first female to DJ at Notting Hill Carnival. The then-15-year-old opted for an experimental setlist in a reggae and dub-heavy soundscape, spinning go-go cuts like ‘The Word’ by Junkyard Band and Al-Naafyish’s ‘Time’, an early-hip hop track. Her funky, future-facing selections leaned heavy on the bass and stood her out among a sea of male-run sound systems. It was the start of a 30-odd-year journey that has Kamala back at the forefront of sound system culture — but this time, she’s manoeuvring others towards the stage.
“This programme is really about access,” the artist explains some days later. “Many people [involved in sound systems] have passed, particularly during the Covid period, and, like they say, a whole library has disappeared with them.” The passing of key figures — as well as the auctioning off of whole record collections following the death of a loved one, splitting up a lifetime’s worth of work — means technical and musical knowledge is being lost. It’s no small task, but Kamala and her team are eager to plug an institutional and generational gap, connecting Gen-Z enthusiasts with baby boomer sound system runners to pass on crucial knowledge about the culture, its history and traditions. “I wonder about the future of it, because it hasn’t really been thinking about the next generation. It’s in danger of dying out.”
Worldwide, sound system culture is booming, but not, Kamala notes, within the communities that birthed it. What was once a thriving scene linking West Indian households across the UK has now become a niche community practice celebrated by pockets of the culture. The Sound System Futures Programme hopes to reverse course, making sure descendants of the immigrant communities that shaped UK music are aware of and, in time, come to practise sound system traditions.

'The way we see things is affected by what we know and what we believe," wrote John Berger in Ways of Seeing. "The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled."
We know that Britain's official story – the one it keeps telling itself – is that it is a tolerant country with regards to race. This tolerance is not regarded as a work of progress but as an enduring expression of Britain's innate genius. This toleration had limits. It endured the presence of "different" kinds of people so long as they didn't make a difference.
"We are a British nation with British characteristics," explained Margaret Thatcher in 1978, during the same interview that she warned of Britain being "swamped": "Every country can take some small minorities and in many ways they add to the richness and variety of this country. The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened."
And even as the central focus of the nation's anxieties shifted from Caribbeans to Muslims, from race to religion and from colour to culture, this essential quality remained firm. "We should talk, and rightly so, about British values that are enduring," argued Gordon Brown in 2005. "Because they stand for some of the greatest ideas in history: tolerance, liberty, civic duty, that grew in Britain and influenced the rest of the world."
But what we see in Dennis Morris's pictures of black Britons in the 60s and 70s – collected together in a new book – both challenges the limitations inherent in that framing and provides a counter-narrative to it. For in the photographs of people at church and at play, styling and protesting during this critical period in our racial history he transforms black Britons from objects to subjects and recipients of hospitality to cultural agents. We see not just a group of people shaped by their presence in Britain but shaping it: not content with being tolerated by "hosts" they demanded engagement in their new home.
The 70s were a pivotal period in black British history. When people started arriving in large numbers after the second world war, most planned to stay only long enough to earn some money and go back "home". But as Berger wrote in the Seventh Man: "The gold fell from very high in the sky. And so when it hit the earth it went down very, very, deep." So they stayed, married and raised families.
UB40 first made their mark on the music scene in the 1980s, a decade defined by the despair of the jobless in the group’s own country and famine in Africa. They brought a British brand of reggae-pop to the charts and concert stages – with their name taken from the attendance card issued to people claiming unemployment benefits.
Astro, real name Terrence Wilson, who has died aged 64, was brought into the eight-piece group as their MC – as well as trumpet player and percussionist – but said he became a “singjay” rather than a DJ, providing backing with melodies.
This “toasting”, a reggae style of talking or chanting over the beat – long before rapping took off – was most powerfully showcased on the full-length album version of “Red Red Wine” (1983), the first of UB40’s three chart-topping singles in the UK.
The band based it on Jamaican singer Tony Tribe’s 1969 reggae recording, unaware that the original was a ballad written and performed by Neil Diamond two years earlier.
Even when we saw the writing credit, which said ‛N Diamond’, we thought it was a Jamaican artist called Negus Diamond,” Astro, notable for his dreadlocks and dark glasses, told The Guardian earlier this year.
It came from Labour of Love, an album of cover songs given a reggae treatment, following three studio LPs featuring UB40’s own politically and socially conscious material.
On its rerelease five years later, “Red Red Wine” hit the top spot in the American singles chart – the group’s first No 1 in the US market – after being resurrected by a DJ in Phoenix, Arizona, who had heard their live performance at Nelson Mandela’s 70th-birthday concert at Wembley Stadium.
Another cover, of Sonny & Cher’s 1960s classic “I Got You Babe”, brought UB40 a second British chart-topper when they teamed up with Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde in 1985. Astro’s trumpet playing was at its most effective by being understated.
It was more prominent in the band’s 1993 version of Elvis Presley’s hit “(I Can’t Help) Falling in Love with You”, which went to No 1 on both sides of the Atlantic.
Some fans felt these lilting reggae versions of others’ songs were betraying UB40’s roots as the voice of working-class disaffection, but the band continued writing their own material – usually under a joint credit.
Astro sang lead vocal on the 1987 single “Rat in Mi Kitchen”, having written it himself after Ali Campbell told him he had... “a rat in mi kitchen”.
The band sold more than 70 million records, including 39 singles in the UK Top 40 and seven in the US Top 100 between 1980 and 2005.
Their first release, “King”, in 1980, was a dedication to Martin Luther King, but radio stations picked up on the catchy B-side, “Food for Thought”, and, turned into a double-A-side single, it went to No 4 in the UK.
Both came off UB40’s debut album, Signing Off (1980), which stayed in the charts for 71 weeks, kept off the top only by Gary Numan and Kate Bush. It included the Margaret Thatcher anthem “Madam Medusa”, with lines such as: “Hear the silent suffering that echoes through the land.”
Ali Campbell and Mickey Virtue finally left UB40 in an acrimonious split in 2008. Five years later, Astro followed, having completed the band’s 18th studio album, Getting Over the Storm (2013), dissatisfied with the move to country music covers on it and his limited role as a backing vocalist.
The following year, he teamed up with the group’s other refugees. Their most successful album, under the name UB40 featuring Ali, Astro & Mickey, was A Real Labour of Love (2018), which featured Jamaican reggae songs, went to No 2 in the UK and topped the US reggae chart. Astro sang lead vocal on six of the 16 tracks.
By 1988, hip-hop was already a decade and a half old. Still, even as certain artists or groups made great strides in breaking through industry barriers and into the mainstream consciousness, the genre remained largely misunderstood by outsiders as something other than the potent and meaningful art form it truly was. Thankfully, Public Enemy were ready, willing and able to take on that fight. Dogmatic MC Chuck D and rapping hype man Flavor Flav had already delivered a devastating opening salvo with 1987’s unambiguously confrontational debut Yo! Bum Rush the Show, putting Black nationalist politics and imagery at the forefront.
By comparison, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back felt like a veritable firebombing—a rap blitzkrieg led by a boisterous lyricist with a defiantly militant mindset. That revolutionary energy was palpable on “Bring the Noise” and “Don’t Believe the Hype”, seminal songs with hooks that sounded more like marching orders. Even further down the tracklist, cuts like “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos” and “Rebel Without a Pause” hit as hard as what came before, the messaging as provocative and righteous as any on the album.

The Street Gospel Riddim is a remarkable musical project that showcases unity and collaboration between some of Jamaica’s most renowned gospel and secular recording artists.
At the helm of this project is Richie Stephens, a mastermind who has repeatedly proven his exceptional talent and creativity. His previous works, including Reverse the Curse and the hit collaboration with Sanchez – Double For My Troubles, have already made global waves.
With the release of the Street Gospel Riddim, Richie Stephens has again given us another outstanding piece of art through his Pot of Gold Production. This latest project is a testament to the power of music to bridge gaps and bring people together, and it will surely leave a lasting impression on anyone who listens to it.
Composed by Stephens, the track-listing for the six-song EP reads as follows:
Richie Stephens started his career as a singer in the early ’90s under Motown Records. Later, he shifted his focus towards reggae, ska, and contemporary gospel when he started working independently. He spent most of the late ’90s and the following years refining his new direction, and his 2002 album, The Man Upstairs, marked the emergence of a distinctive voice in Christian music.

Ever returned poor or faulty goods for the shop to simply dismiss your complaint? Now imagine walking down the high street, or contacting the company, this time covered in a glistening suit of consumer rights armour. Read on to find out what your consumer rights are, and what to do if your purchases go wrong.
Your consumer rights protect you when you buy goods and services. This means you have rights by law, which a shop or service provider can't change.
Before we get into the detail, here's a quick summary of your rights:
Has Brexit changed your consumer rights? Following the Brexit transition period, most EU directives have been incorporated into UK law, so your rights are unchanged. However, if you're buying from a trader based in the EU, things can now be a bit trickier.
Pre-Brexit, if a UK consumer bought an item from an EU-based trader and it didn't arrive or there's a problem, the UK consumer could use UK law and the UK courts for redress, and judgment was recognised in the EU member state in question. The Government now says you need to contact UK International Consumer Centre for help with problems buying from an EU country.
Later in the guide, you'll get a much more detailed explanation of how consumer rights work. But let's start with a few simple dos and don'ts to help you protect yourself.

‘The black history of Britain is by its nature a global history. Yet too often it is seen as being only the history of migration, settlement and community formation in Britain itself.’
– David Olusoga, Black and British: A Forgotten History
Black histories are a vital part of England’s story, reaching back many centuries. There is evidence of African people in Roman Britain as far back as the 3rd century AD, and black communities have been present since at least 1500.
English Heritage is committed to telling the story of England in full. Black history, from antiquity to the 21st century, helps us to reflect on the connections between the past and present, and the importance of history to our understanding of what’s happening today.
