Elon Musk's space industrial giant, SpaceX , is expected to launch its much-anticipated initial public offering (IPO) this week. But while the stock isn't available yet, that hasn't stopped eager investors from bidding up the valuations of other space-related companies. Redwire (NYSE: RDW) is a great example, with its share up by a whopping 105% so far this year. Let's dig deeper to find out if th...
Elon Musk's space industrial giant, SpaceX , is expected to launch its much-anticipated initial public offering (IPO) this week. But while the stock isn't available yet, that hasn't stopped eager investors from bidding up the valuations of other space-related companies. Redwire (NYSE: RDW) is a great example, with its share up by a whopping 105% so far this year. Let's dig deeper to find out if this rally is the start of a long-term bull run or just a temporary hype-driven boom. Unlike SpaceX, Redwire is far from a household name. The company got its start just six years ago when the private equity company AE Industrial Partners combined two of its holdings (Adcole Space and Deep Space Systems) into one entity.

Analysis pinpoints areas most vulnerable to hotter, drier weather causing ground to shrink and drag foundations down Millions of homes are at risk from climate-related subsidence, according toan analysis by the British Geological Survey (BGS). As hotter, drier summers driven by global heating become more frequent, the ground under houses can shrink and drag down a property’s foundations. The most vulnerable areas include London, Essex, Kent and a tranche of land from Oxford up to the Wash on England’s east coast, according to scientists, who say mitigation measures will be needed.

The grievances, the social media platforms, the politicians’ doublespeak and the international cheerleaders all provided a fuse. On Monday night came the spark. Continue reading...
While he denies wrongdoing, Sullivan traded on the idea of womens’ bodies as consumable objects. His terrible era laid the ground for the 21st-century porn industry There was a time, not so long ago, when female breasts appeared daily in some national newspapers.

While he denies wrongdoing, Sullivan traded on the idea of womens’ bodies as consumable objects. His terrible era laid the ground for the 21st-century porn industry There was a time, not so long ago, when female breasts appeared daily in some national newspapers. It was part of a culture that stripped and infantilised women, presenting very young “girls” with a nod and a wink, as though it was all a joke. Feminists who objected were dismissed as killjoys, even though the campaign against what became known as “ Page 3 ” was ultimately successful. This week’s Panorama programme revisited that era, focusing on the alleged activities of one man, David Sullivan, who made a fortune from sex shops and sleazy tabloid newspapers. The allegations against Sullivan, which he angrily denies, are that he “interviewed” young women at his mansion in Essex and demanded sex in return for furthering their careers as “glamour models”. The women’s stories were horrible. Joan Smith is an author, journalist and a former chair of the mayor of London’s violence against women and girls board Continue reading...

Test yourself on topical news trivia, pop culture and general knowledge every Thursday. How will you fare? The men’s Fifa World Cup starts today, and the challenge before the quiz master is to stay up all night every night watching tons of meaningless group matches between the likes of Syldavia and Borduria to keep up a record of not having missed a single World Cup game since 1978, while also continuing to function as a normal living member of society, rather than as an exhausted zombie.

Under US rules, even a distant strike can suspend a game – and some will take place in Florida, the thunderstorm state Hot weather will be a major concern at the World Cup, but lightning may also prove a particular problem.

Under US rules, even a distant strike can suspend a game – and some will take place in Florida, the thunderstorm state Hot weather will be a major concern at the World Cup, but lightning may also prove a particular problem. Under US safety regulations, a strike within 10 miles (16km) of a stadium triggers a 30-minute suspension of the game, during which players must leave the pitch. The size of the safety zone was dictated by research on the distance that lightning can strike from a storm even with no clouds overhead. This is more than a theoretical risk. During a game in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1998, an entire team was killed by a single bolt of lightning. There have been many other deadly incidents. Continue reading...
Savour the glorious sound of mussels popping open and finish cooking the pasta in the shellfish liquor really to ramp up the flavour If you put your ear close (but not too close) to a covered pan full of mussels, olive oil, garlic and a bit of white wine (not too much) over a lively heat, you will hear the sound – a cross between a crack, or that of a rip and an unzipping – of the mussels opening....
Savour the glorious sound of mussels popping open and finish cooking the pasta in the shellfish liquor really to ramp up the flavour If you put your ear close (but not too close) to a covered pan full of mussels, olive oil, garlic and a bit of white wine (not too much) over a lively heat, you will hear the sound – a cross between a crack, or that of a rip and an unzipping – of the mussels opening. To begin with, it’s intermittent, so you lift and look under the lid to reassure yourself that they are indeed starting to open … But there are only a few, so the lid goes back on. You shake the pan until, like popcorn, the mussels are off – crack, rip, unzip – at which point, get the lid off and the mussels out, so you can admire the liquor. Taste to see how salty it is and measure how much you have: you want about 200ml, so take some out, reduce or add water to get the proportions and taste to your liking. Spaghetti (or linguine) with mussels is a recipe that benefits from finishing the cooking of the pasta in the sauce, which is also a great technique to know generally, because it can be applied to countless pasta recipes. The benefits of finishing the cooking in the sauce (or broth) are: deep flavour (because the pasta absorbs and gets completely coated in the sauce), shine and a slightly thickened sauce, thanks to the starch that seeps from the pasta and combines with the fat.

Your Social Security benefits saw an above-average 2.8% increase in January, but it might not feel like enough with inflation crossing 3.8% in April. You'll get another benefit increase next year, but we don't yet know what it'll be. Plenty of people are speculating where the 2027 Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will end up. But we're missing three critical numbers that won't come...
