Last month, the comedian revealed that she had been diagnosed with early-stage melanoma, a type of skin cancer for the second time. After initially undergoing treatment in her 20s when she discovered a mole, Katherine opened up about the experience while reminding her fans to advocate for themselves after doctors initially dismissed her concerns.The 41-year-old decided to take her healthcare concerns to a private clinic after being left unhappy with the response from the NHS when she noticed that the mole wasnt right. The mum-of-three has since undergone surgery to remove the mole and has now had an in vitro genetics test to help detect any other potential health issues.

If Australia switched to EVs, wed be more reliant on Chinas car factories but wean ourselves off foreign oil
2025-04-24 09:45:02| Spiritual Career Counseling
Australia has huge reserves of coal and gas but very little oil. Before the 20th century, this didnt matter trains ran on local coal. But as cars and trucks have come to dominate, Australia has become more and more reliant on imported oil. Imports now account for around 80% of total refined fuel consumption, the highest level on record. If the flow of oil stopped due to war or economic instability, Australia would have about 54 days worth in storage before we ran out. That would be a huge problem.But as more drivers switch from petrol and diesel to electric cars, this equation will change. We can already see this in China, where a rapid uptake of electric vehicles has seen oil demand begin to fall.On one level, ending Australias dependence on foreign oil makes sense at a time of great geopolitical uncertainty. But on the other, going electric would lead to more reliance on China, now the worlds largest manufacturer of EVs.Reducing reliance on oil makes clear sense for climate an...

Staff reporterGuwahati: Assam has made significant strides in boosting its milk, egg, and meat production in the 2023-24 fiscal year, marking an upward trajectory compared to the previous year. However, despite these gains, the state still faces challenges in achieving full self-sufficiency in its livestock production, as local demand continues to outpace supply.In the year 2023-24, Assams milk production surged to 1,149.7 million litres, up from 1,069.4 million litres in 2022-23. Egg production also saw an increase, with the state producing 623 million eggs in 2023-24, compared to 559 million the previous year.

According to a department official, While Assams production is rising, it is not increasing at the...

Keir Starmer rolls up his sleeves to legitimise the Two Minutes Hate | John Crace
2025-04-24 09:45:02| Spiritual Career Counseling
Forgive me for feeling underwhelmed. As a general rule, countries collaborating on crime have not yet managed to do away with crime. But I suppose that doing something even if its only being seen to do something is better than doing nothing. So a big welcome to the 40 countries that have converged on Lancaster House in central London at Keir Starmers invitation for a summit on tackling illegal migration.The government has chosen some curious targets for its attacks since the election last July. Mostly punching down. First it had pensioners in its sights, as it cut the winter fuel allowance. Then it went after farmers. Recently it has had a go at cutting benefits for disabled people. Now it is the turn of migrants. Maybe its just a wonder that Starmer took this long to get round to people making the small boat crossing from France. Every government is trying to out-Farage Farage these days.Theres nothing progressive about turning a blind eye to the criminal gangs, said Starmer...
