My daughter (high school senior) really wants to go to this university next year. She’s a great student, she could easily attend a proper college if she wanted to, but she’s into the whole witchy hippie alternative thing. This college is a legit scam, even sold the main Washington campus due to financial issues this year. Each time I try to have a conversation about the cons with her the line is “daddy will take care of me”. My husband (daddy) always takes her side (will pay her full tuition and everything). She’s the biggest daddy’s girl I’ve ever known, but at this point this is just straight up enabling bad decisions.

Ausgestattet mit den Studienergebnissen schlugen die Forscher folgende Strategien vor, um die pflanzliche Ernährung für Männer attraktiver zu machen:

1. Den Geschmack in den Vordergrund stellen - Da die Skepsis gegenüber dem Geschmack nach wie vor ein großes Hindernis für Männer darstellt, sollten Kampagnen Geschmackstests anbieten, den Geschmack in der Werbung hervorheben und in die Attraktivität von pflanzlichen Produkten investieren.
2. Gesundheit und Ernährung in den Mittelpunkt stellen - Aufklärung über die gesundheitlichen Vorteile einer pflanzlichen Ernährung - insbesondere in Bezug auf Eiweiß, Fitness und Langlebigkeit - kann dazu beitragen, Mythen zu widerlegen und sich mit den selbstbezogenen Motivationen von Männern in Einklang zu bringen.
3. Verwenden Sie implizite Botschaften - anstatt pflanzliche Lebensmittel offen als "männlich" zu vermarkten, verknüpfen Sie sie subtil mit Werten wie Leistung, Stärke und Abenteuer, um Männer, die geschlechtsspezifische Ernährungsnarrative ablehnen, nicht zu verprellen.
4. Gleichgewicht zwischen Klarheit und Attraktivität bei der Etikettierung - verwenden Sie weiterhin die vertrauten "fleischigen" Etiketten für pflanzliche Alternativen, um die geschmacklichen Erwartungen zu erfüllen, und klären Sie die Verbraucher gleichzeitig darüber auf, dass diese Produkte als erkennbarer Ersatz konzipiert sind - und nicht als trügerischer Ersatz.
5. Nutzung des sozialen Einflusses - da Partner, Freunde und Familie die Ernährungsentscheidungen von Männern beeinflussen, könnten Maßnahmen diese Netzwerke nutzen, um eine pflanzliche Ernährung zu fördern.
6. Kostenaspekte ansprechen - Maßnahmen, die pflanzliche Produkte durch Subventionen oder Preisanreize erschwinglicher machen, könnten dazu beitragen, den Wettbewerb mit konventionellem Fleisch und Milchprodukten anzugleichen.

A photo circulating online on Friday shows an 'Israeli' soldier carrying a missile marked with the words “In memory of Charlie Kirk,” drawing widespread criticism on social media.

Critics on social media condemned the missile’s inscription as “provocative” and “deeply offensive,” linking it to the recent fatal shooting of US conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Many viewed the act as an apparent glorification of violence.

Oh wait, no, I'm not.

Butterfly numbers have "vastly improved" over the past year, a conservation charity has said, but "urgent measures" were needed to reverse their decline.

Butterfly Conservation said its annual survey, the Big Butterfly Count, showed the sunniest spring and hottest summer recorded in the UK had created good conditions after 2024's record-breaking lows.

On average, spotters in Devon saw 12.5 butterflies and day-flying moths per count, a 40% increase compared to last year, with the gatekeeper being the most commonly recorded one.

All new buildings in England could soon be required to incorporate bird-safe glass and other wildlife-friendly features, after peers in the House of Lords tabled a series of amendments to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill.

The cross-party measures – backed by Conservative, Liberal Democrat, Green and crossbench peers – seek to embed animal welfare into the planning system. Proposals include mandating bird-safe glazing, integrated swift boxes, bat boxes and hedgehog highways, which provide gaps at ground level in fences or walls to allow hedgehogs to move freely between gardens and green spaces.

Supporters argue that the changes would prevent the deaths of millions of wild animals each year. Some 30 million birds are estimated to die annually in the UK following collisions with glass – often suffering slow or painful deaths – yet studies suggest the use of bird-safe glass could reduce fatalities by more than 90%. The UK is already a major producer of such glass, raising the prospect of a boost to domestic industry.

Workers and volunteers at a Wildlife Trust said they were overjoyed after discovering baby beavers had been born at a nature reserve for the first time in more than 400 years.

The new arrivals were spotted at the Nene Wetlands nature reserve, part of Rushden Lakes, in Northamptonshire.

Volunteer Jeannette Smith said after noticing mother Boudica had put on weight, everyone "kept their fingers" crossed that the babies, known as kits, would appear.
