Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were the ultimate fashion twins as they messed around in a fun golfing video. The presenters wore matching tartan trousers and sweaters as they headed out with their golf clubs for some classic Ant and Dec antics. The outfits went from neon yellow to pink and green to blue because it's always time for an outfit change. In the video shared on Instagram , Ant pulled his best model moves and took a golf club to practice his swing. At one point, Dec was seen cackling as he threw water on his pal’s face all while rocking a navy sweater over his bright blue outfit. Dec, 45, then ran off before Ant, also 45, could retaliate. They captioned the video: "#fashion #whatiwore #golfchic #golfglam #golf4life #golfindastylist #ontherunway". Their video comes after the comedy duo shared their worries about the Saturday Night Takeaway audience now that they have to appear via their webcams. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, live studio audiences are no … [Read more...] about Ant and Dec wear matching tartan golfing outfits as they mess around in prank video

An American arrives in the Royal Family and causes uproar, ­bitterness and recriminations that will echo down the years. Yes, Meghan Markle , but almost a century earlier Wallis Simpson, without whom our queen would not be sitting on the throne. The 1936 abdication crisis set in motion events that have an eerie ­resonance with this new ­royal storm. Not only did it mean the Queen’s father became king, it taught a young Elizabeth that protecting the monarchy reigns supreme. It is arguable her father gave his life for the Crown – his wife, later the Queen Mother, believed this to be the case. What is your view? Have your say in the comments section She never forgave Wallis Simpson for condemning him to kingship, the stress shortening his life and sentencing her to almost half a century of ­widowhood. With her beloved father setting such an unselfish example, it is no surprise in the decades following his death the Queen has placed safeguarding the monarchy above all … [Read more...] about Queen will ‘rise above’ Meghan and Harry ‘mess’ to ensure Crown survives, says expert

For medical students and junior doctors, training can be hit and miss. Sometimes you sit down with an actor who plays the part of a patient and rehearse giving a difficult diagnosis, sometimes there's a dummy that you examine, with a colleague shouting out imaginary symptoms along the lines of "His blood pressure's gone through the floor!" or "She looks sweaty and confused now!" In most cases, your imagination has to do the legwork, converting the unmoving peach-coloured rubber torso into a patient urgently in need of assistance or the actor into someone who's about to get bad news. If you're lucky, you get to practice this way a few times a year. If you're in a pandemic, you might not even get that. With training oftentimes taking place in hospitals, students and trainers now can't go to these facilities in order to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID. So now a number of universities and medical institutions are turning to virtual reality to bridge the training gap. … [Read more...] about Virtual reality has found a new role: Teaching doctors to deal with patients

We need to do something. This is something. Therefore we need to do it. This is the logic that led to Australia's wondrously strange news media bargaining code . Let's take a step back. There was indeed a problem, a problem that goes back more than a quarter of a century. It's that the internet changed everything. But it was only ever really a problem for news business that failed to adapt. News is expensive to make. That's why for most of the 20th century, commercial news operations bundled it with advertising, which was the main income stream, and cheap filler content. The audience got the whole bundle in one lump, whether it be on dead trees whose slaughter and distribution they paid for, or via radio or TV. But then the internet unbundled everything. People who wanted the advertising went straight to sites that were nothing but ads for real estate or used cars or second-hand furniture or people who wanted a date. Advertising also moved to places like Facebook, which … [Read more...] about Australia’s news media bargaining code is a form of ransomware, and someone paid up

At the Microsoft Ignite conference, the company's Alex Kipman unveiled a new hologram-based mixed-reality communication platform called Microsoft Mesh. This thing is jaw-dropping. Its most basic purpose is allowing people in different physical locations to join a shared environment, with 3D capture technology creating a hologram of each person therein (a process Microsoft insists on calling 'holoportation'), all running atop the company's cloud platform Azure. There's some forgiveable exagerration at points in the above precis of the Ignite presentation (no, this is not 'teleporting' people), but it showcases the potential for this technology far beyond mere business meetings. A family watching huge shoals of fish on the ocean floor, the software highlighting certain species with information as the father points (yes the world is becoming a video game). Engineers and mechanics messing around with hologrammatic equipment, finger-controlled UI overlays altering the working … [Read more...] about Microsoft Mesh is humanity’s jaw-dropping hologram future
