Un aperçu alléchant du confident de la princesse RICHARD KAY
Spread the love

Lorsque l’ancienne Mme Camilla Parker Bowles dira ses dévotions à Dieu demain à l’abbaye de Westminster, elle sera la première reine consort à être ointe depuis 1937.

La dernière, bien sûr, était la reine Elizabeth, la reine mère, dont l’influence de toute une vie sur son petit-fils Charles atteindra son apogée lors d’une cérémonie qui s’appuie fortement sur des artefacts – parmi lesquels des robes et des chaises – du couronnement de ses grands-parents.

Cette ironie ne sera pas perdue pour la reine Camilla. L’ancienne Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon a transformé la fortune de la monarchie : d’abord en tant que partisane inébranlable de son mari trébuchant et bégayant, le roi George VI, pendant les jours sombres de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, puis, pendant les longues années de veuvage, de sa fille, Reine Elizabeth II.

Et en obtenant la maison de Windsor, la propre popularité de la reine mère a grimpé en flèche, faisant d’elle l’un des membres les plus admirés et respectés de la famille royale. Elle était également l’une des rares membres de la famille royale avec qui Camilla entretenait des relations cordiales à une époque où elle n’était généralement pas la bienvenue dans les cercles de Windsor.

Maintenant, quand les yeux du monde seront sur elle, ces parallèles seront une source de réconfort pour une femme dont la propre emprise sur les affections du peuple britannique a souvent été fragile.

La princesse Diana ‘, qui est l’un des membres les plus populaires de la famille royale, est décédée il y a 26 ans cet été

Lorsque l’ancienne Mme Camilla Parker Bowles, qui est photographiée avec le roi Charles III, dit ses dévotions à Dieu demain à l’abbaye de Westminster, elle sera la première reine consort à être ointe depuis 1937

Il y a eu un rappel brutal de cela cette semaine dans le sondage exhaustif de Lord Ashcroft pour le Daily Mail sur la popularité de la monarchie. Alors que les gros titres montraient peu d’appétit pour le républicanisme, l’aspect peut-être le plus révélateur de ses conclusions était le taux d’approbation des membres individuels de la famille.

Parmi les trois membres les plus populaires de la famille, deux sont morts : la défunte reine, toujours extrêmement respectée et bien en avance sur les autres, et la princesse Diana, dont la mort tragique remonte à 26 ans cet été. Le prince William les a séparés au numéro deux.

C’est l’attrait durable de Diana qui est à la fois remarquable et, pour le Palais, préoccupant.

Peu importe le nombre de tentatives faites pour éliminer la défunte princesse de l’histoire, en particulier dans les années qui ont immédiatement suivi 1997, lorsque Charles tentait de gagner les cœurs et les esprits pour Camilla, l’affection du public envers sa première femme reste obstinément inflexible.

Quant à Camilla, elle reste au moins au-dessus du prince Harry, de Meghan et du prince Andrew en disgrâce dans les classements, mais elle se classe en dessous du prince Edward et de Sophie, duchesse d’Édimbourg.

Est-ce que tout cela compte ? Après tout, le prince Philip atteignait rarement le même niveau d’approbation publique dont jouissait la reine – et cela ne l’inquiétait pas du tout.

Camilla est une arrivée tardive à la royauté. L’épouse de l’ancien officier de l’armée avait presque 58 ans lorsqu’elle a épousé le prince de Galles de l’époque. Jusque-là, sa vie avait été celle d’une femme de la campagne portant un jean taché de boue et des bottes en caoutchouc. En un instant, elle a dû assumer de multiples responsabilités et assumer une série d’engagements officiels onéreux, dont beaucoup aux yeux du public.

Même ses détracteurs les plus virulents ne pouvaient nier qu’au cours des 18 années qui se sont écoulées depuis ce mariage à Windsor, elle ne s’est pas trompée de pied.

Aujourd’hui, à l’âge de 75 ans, sa vie est sur le point de changer à nouveau. De vieux amis qui la connaissaient comme une amatrice de cigarettes à l’époque de ses débuts – une femme qui n’a jamais eu de travail convenable – rient ouvertement d’une transformation remarquable.

Beaucoup diraient qu’une femme qui peut revenir de la dérision et du mépris dont elle a été l’objet pendant les années Charles et Diana, lorsqu’elle a été tristement stigmatisée comme la « troisième personne » dans le mariage royal, n’aura sûrement rien à craindre d’être ointe. comme reine.

C’est, après tout, une affirmation publique de l’amour de Charles pour elle qu’il a persuadé les courtisans sceptiques qu’elle devait et devait être couronnée à ses côtés.

Néanmoins, il y aura des moments où elle descendra du Diamond State Coach à la Great West Door de l’abbaye où la mémoire concurrente de la princesse Diana sera tout autour d’elle.

Ce sera là, bien sûr, en présence des fils de Diana et dans les rappels physiques de ses anciens bijoux : si rien d’autre, Kate portera la bague de fiançailles en diamant et saphir qui ornait autrefois la main de Diana.

Inexprimée, inévitablement, sera la pensée que si l’histoire n’avait pas pris la tournure qu’elle a prise, ce serait Diana couronnée et prononçant ses vœux devant ses fils, ses petits-enfants et le monde qui regarde.

Peu importe combien de tentatives ont été faites pour rayer la défunte princesse de l'histoire, en particulier dans les années qui ont immédiatement suivi 1997 lorsque Charles essayait de gagner les cœurs et les esprits pour Camilla, l'affection du public envers sa première femme reste obstinément inflexible.

Peu importe combien de tentatives ont été faites pour rayer la défunte princesse de l’histoire, en particulier dans les années qui ont immédiatement suivi 1997 lorsque Charles essayait de gagner les cœurs et les esprits pour Camilla, l’affection du public envers sa première femme reste obstinément inflexible.

À 61 ans, elle serait toujours frappante et gracieuse – belle, même, à en juger par la façon dont sa mère Frances Shand Kydd a vieilli.

Elle s’était, bien sûr, exclue d’être reine bien avant que la tragédie ne frappe – même lorsque des politiciens tels que l’ancien Premier ministre Sir John Major suggéraient que la séparation du couple royal n’empêchait pas Diana de prendre un jour sa place aux côtés de Charles dans le Une abbaye.

Ses propres opinions étaient plus modestes. Dans son interview au Panorama, elle a laissé entendre que son ambition n’était rien de plus que d’être “la reine du cœur des gens”.

Au cours de toutes les années où j’ai connu Diana, elle a rarement parlé d’être reine, peut-être parce que tout le monde spéculait toujours à ce sujet.

Je lui ai demandé une fois si elle rêvait d’être couronnée. « Non, me dit-elle, mais j’en ai fait des cauchemars. Ces mauvais rêves avaient une image récurrente : c’était le moment charnière du couronnement et la couronne était abaissée sur sa tête. Au lieu de rester là, il glissait sur son visage et s’arrêtait sur son cou, avant de se resserrer lentement autour de sa gorge et de l’étouffer. C’est une image étrange et troublante qui aurait si facilement pu être une métaphore de la tragédie qui nous attendait.

À ce moment du rêve, elle se réveillait.

Les rares fois où Diana a parlé d’être reine, c’était soit accompagné de fous rires à une idée aussi absurde, soit d’une nostalgie à l’idée de ce qui aurait pu être : notamment en portant ce qu’elle appelait “toutes ces robes de Cendrillon”.

Elle avait assisté à un couronnement – l’intronisation de l’empereur du Japon – et plus tard frissonna en s’autorisant à penser à participer un jour à un rituel tout aussi sacré.

Elle aurait cependant apprécié l’apparat et la fête. Ce soir, par exemple, je pourrais l’imaginer se glisser dans le rassemblement discret du club des membres de Mayfair, Oswald’s, où des têtes couronnées et des membres de la famille royale étrangère ont été invités pour ce qui promet d’être un dîner pré-couronnement très exclusif.

Harry, bien sûr, s’est dépeint comme «le fils de ma mère» – même s’il ne partage aucun de son glamour à indice d’octane élevé. Il n’est pas difficile d’imaginer ses pensées alors qu’il regarde la femme qui a usurpé sa mère dans les affections de son père accepter l’acclamation de l’abbaye et plus tard, sur le balcon du palais de Buckingham, les acclamations de la foule dans le centre commercial.

Nous connaissons ses opinions par ses mémoires. Dans des interviews faisant la promotion de Spare, il a décrit sa belle-mère comme une «méchante» et «dangereuse», qui a laissé des «corps dans la rue» dans son empressement à changer la perception du public à son égard. Dans le livre lui-même, il la décrit comme la femme qui l’a “sacrifié” sur “son autel personnel de relations publiques”. Elle était, écrivait-il, à la fois « l’autre femme » et la « méchante belle-mère ».

William a été plus circonspect, bien que selon le livre de Harry, lui et son frère aient supplié leur père de ne pas épouser Camilla.

Le livre de Harry a également présenté William comme l’un des méchants. Mais il est également resté fidèle à la mémoire de sa défunte mère, l’incluant à chaque étape de sa vie conjugale et familiale. William a donné à la princesse Charlotte le deuxième prénom Diana, l’a baptisée dans la même église de Norfolk où sa mère a été baptisée et a choisi un parrain de la famille Spencer.

Même Kate, qui n’a jamais connu sa belle-mère, s’est jointe à elle, racontant aux fans lors d’une récente visite à Aberfan, dans le sud du Pays de Galles, à quel point Diana nous manque “tous les jours” et révélant qu’elle n’a jamais redimensionné cette célèbre bague de fiançailles clignotante. adapter son propre doigt.

Même si les destins avaient dicté différemment, il est toujours difficile de savoir quel genre de reine Diana aurait été – mais d’une chose nous pouvons sûrement être certains : elle aurait été populaire.

Une de ses vieilles amies m’a dit que la seule aspiration de Diana en tant que future reine était de faire campagne pour mettre fin au fléau de l’esclavage des enfants, comme elle l’avait fait contre les mines terrestres. “En tant que reine, elle savait qu’elle pouvait faire la différence”, explique l’amie. Assez noble et peu susceptible de déstabiliser Charles.

À sa manière calme et sans prétention, l’ancienne duchesse de Cornouailles a également essayé de faire la différence. Camilla est une histoire de persévérance et de ténacité remarquables. À bien des égards, elle est à l’opposé de son ancienne rivale : peu glamour, dure et d’acier, et rarement sujette à l’introspection. Célèbre, c’est ce mélange d’ordinaire et de truculence, un tel contraste avec Diana, qui a fasciné Charles.

“Il y a une vanité chez elle”, prévient l’un de son entourage. ‘Mais seulement jusqu’ici. Se faire coiffer tous les jours est un véritable avantage, mais elle s’abstiendrait de faire tout “travail” parce que tout le monde le remarquerait.

Le voyage de maîtresse à épouse, consolatrice en chef et maintenant reine a été long et cahoteux. Mais Camilla s’est rarement plainte.

“Ce n’est pas facile”, a-t-elle dit prudemment dans une interview avec Vogue l’année dernière. “J’ai été examiné pendant si longtemps qu’il suffit de trouver un moyen de vivre avec”, ajoutant: “Je pense qu’à la fin, je m’élève en quelque sorte au-dessus et je continue.” Il y a peu de place pour le regret ou le sentiment dans de telles remarques. Ni, en effet, pour se venger.

Parfois, sa présence même dans la vie de Charles aurait mis en péril l’avenir du trône. Maintenant, elle est reconnue comme sa sauveuse pour son influence apaisante, celle qui a permis à son mari de devenir le genre de roi qu’il veut être : plus détendu, moins grincheux. Jamais ce vieil adage selon lequel le temps change tout n’a été plus approprié.

Il y a un peu plus d’un an, la seule pierre d’achoppement restante à son couronnement a disparu lorsque feu la reine Elizabeth a accordé son approbation en exprimant son “souhait sincère” que la femme de son fils soit pleinement reconnue comme reine lorsque Charles a accédé au trône. Même Elizabeth II avait été conquise par celle qui ne possédait autrefois qu’une seule robe élégante dans sa garde-robe.

Camilla a-t-elle jamais rêvé de devenir reine ?

“Pas une seule fois – et à presque 76 ans, je pense qu’il est juste de dire que la perspective était et reste terrifiante”, déclare un proche. «Elle en tirera le meilleur parti, mais une partie de ses souhaits ne s’était jamais produite. Elle est là parce qu’elle l’aime. C’est ça.’

Une autre amie qui a connu Camilla pendant la majeure partie de sa vie d’adulte a déclaré: “Elle soutiendra Charles, pas lui éclipsera, mais l’idée de commencer ce qui équivaut à une nouvelle carrière au milieu des années 70 ne la ravit pas.” N’oubliez pas qu’elle avait la réputation d’être paresseuse.

Diana avait l’habitude de se pencher sur la carte astrologique de Camilla, désireuse de voir comment les jetons tomberaient. Ils n’avaient jamais prédit que ce serait un jour la femme qui la remplacerait recevant la bénédiction d’un archevêque, l’huile sainte et une couronne d’or.

What is Addison’s disease? The debilitating illness revealed that killed TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg’s cause of death

What is Addison’s disease? The debilitating illness revealed that killed TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg’s cause of death
Spread the love

TikToker Taylor Rousseau Grigg died last week from complications of a one-in-100,000 hormonal illness, her family revealed. 

The 25-year-old’s ‘sudden and unexpected’ passing was determined to be from Addison’s disease, a rare autoimmune condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough hormones responsible for metabolism, stress, and immune health. 

Also suffering from asthma, the influencer told her TikTok audience that she felt like she was ‘fighting for my life’ after over a yearlong struggle with a mystery illness. 

The condition develops slowly, making it difficult to spot early. It’s unclear what complications Ms Grigg experienced, but the condition can lead to organ damage if left untreated.

Read on for everything you need to know about Addison’s disease:

What is Addison’s disease?

Also called adrenal insufficiency, Addison’s disease is a condition in which the body adrenal glands don’t produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone.

The adrenal glands are located on top of both kidneys and are responsible for controlling hormones that regulate metabolism, immune health, blood pressure, and stress response.

Cortisol is known as the ‘stress hormone,’ as it increases blood pressure and heart rate to put the body in ‘fight-or-flight mode and raises blood sugar levels to provide energy.

Aldosterone, meanwhile, regulates blood pressure and sodium and potassium levels in the blood. 

If the body can’t produce enough of these hormones, the body can go into an adrenal crisis, also called an Addisonian crisis. This causes shock, which prevents blood flow to vital organs and can lead to death.

What causes Addison’s disease?

Addison’s disease occurs when the immune system begins attacking the adrenal glands. 

Historically, tuberculosis was the main culprit and still is in developing countries. 

Infections like HIV, bleeding in the adrenal glands, and cancer can also increase the risk of developing Addison’s disease. 

How common is it? 

Addison’s disease affects about one in 100,000 Americans. 

According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the condition most often affects women between ages 30 and 50, though it can occur at any age. 

In addition to Grigg, the disease also affected President John F Kennedy. He was diagnosed with the condition in 1947 at age 30. 

What are the symptoms?

Since damage to the adrenal flands tends to occur slowly over time, symptoms develop gradually. Stress, such as injury or illness, may make symptoms worse.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, steadily worsening fatigue is the most common symptom, followed by having patches of dark skin called hyperpigmentation. 

Patients may also experience abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, appetite loss, weight loss, muscle pain, and dehydration.

Cleveland Clinic also notes that patients may crave salty food or have low blood presusre and low blood sugar. 

Women may also have irregular periods, lose body hair, or notice an irregular sex drive. 

If a patient falls into an adrenal crisis, they may have extreme weakness, severe pain in the lower back and legs, restlessness, confusion, severe vomiting and diarrhea, and loss of consciousness. 

How is Addison’s disease diagnosed?

Since symptoms develop gradually, patients may have a delayed diagnosis. 

It may also be discovered through routine blood tests showing low levels of sodium and potassium from a lack of cortisol and aldosterone.

In addition to blood tests, doctors may perform an ACTH stimulation test, which measures how the adrenal glands respond to an artifical dose of cortisol and aldosterone.

If the adrenal glands only produce low levels of the hormones after the shot, it may signal Addison’s disease. 

A CT scan may also show damage to the adrenal glands. 

How is Addison’s disease treated? 

Addison’s disease is usually treated with lifelong hormone replacement therapy to help the body produce enough cortisol and aldosterone. 

Doctors may also recommend adding more salt to your diet due to low levels of sodium in the blood. 

Can Addison’s disease be prevented? 

There is no way to prevent Addison’s disease.

Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman struggled to understand why skipper Virgil van Dijk was booked for protesting a decision with the referee, only to be sent off just minutes later.

Van Dijk received the first red card of his international career during the Netherlands’ 1-1 draw with Hungary on Friday after he picked up two yellow cards within three minutes.

The first booking stemmed from his protests to referee Lukas Fahndric after Dutch star Donyell Malen was knocked to the turf late in the second half.

Van Dijk then committed a foul that forced Fahndric to brandish a second yellow and subsequently send the Dutch captain off for an early shower.

Speaking after the match, Koeman went in to bat for the Liverpool star and was left baffled as to why Van Dijk picked up a booking for discussing the foul on Malen.

‘That moment was frustrating,’ Koeman told NOS.

‘I don’t understand it either. I think we have agreed that a captain can protest to a referee. That violation (on Malen) was good for a red card. There was no intention at all to play the ball.

 ‘The fact that Virgil then takes that second card is not convenient. He just had to follow along, but he knows that himself.’

Van Dijk conceded the red card was ‘a bummer’, but the first booking rendered him ‘especially angry.’

‘They say the captain is the only one who can talk to the referee,’ Van Dijk told ESPN Netherlands.

‘I walk up to him. Up tempo, but not in a nasty way, not at all. Very respectful. Because I felt it was a breakaway player, he did not go for the ball at all.

‘If even the captain can not say anything … then it gets difficult.’ 

Van Dijk’s red card left the Dutch with a difficult task after Roland Sallai put Hungary in front in the 32nd minute.

The result kept Koeman’s side second in Group 3 in the Nations League A on five points while Hungary sit third with two points.

The outing came after it was revealed that the couple who share four children had made a generous donation to hurricane relief efforts in wake of the devastation caused by Helene and Milton in the last two weeks.

It was revealed Thursday that Blake and Ryan — who reportedly have a combined net worth of $380million — have donated $1million to the non-profit Feeding America’s disaster relief fund.

Feeding America announced via Instagram that the seven-figure donation will ‘help people impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton rebuild and recover.

‘These funds will help food banks provide basic needs like water, ready to eat food and supplies to communities facing heartbreaking loss and a long recovery.’

Amongst many other revelations, the 32-year-old influencer explained why Travis’ new relationship with Taylor means they can no longer speak if they see each other in public, and how vile abuse from ‘Swifties’ on social media has impacted her.

And in the wake of her tell-all interview, Swift’s die-hard legion of fans have taken aim at Nicole once again.

One wrote on X: ‘What does she mean there’s not room for us to talk WHY WOULD IT BE HES IN A RELATIONSHIP IS SHE DUMB????’

Another put: ‘This girl needs to move on, he’s in a happier place now.’

‘Why is she talking about him? Let’s move on,’ said a third.

A fourth put: ‘When your ex is in a new serious relationship, there is no room for you anymore.’

Evidence of alien life could be revealed next month as NASA filmmaker claims ‘we’ve found it’
Spread the love

Telescopes on Earth have found evidence of intelligent alien life and the proof will be released in less than one month, a filmmaker claims.

Simon Holland, who has worked on documentaries for the BBC and NASA-funded projects, said that an Oxford-backed program searching for extraterrestrial signals has quietly identified ‘non-human intelligence in our galaxy.’ 

The signal — a five-hour-long burst of radio waves — appeared to be from a region around Proxima Centauri, a star about 4.2 light-years away from Earth.

The Oxford team has confirmed they are analyzing the signal but have not revealed the likely source.

‘They are looking for details, hence the delay in publishing the news,’ Holland told DailyMail.com of the strange radio signal, which has been hotly debated ever since astronomers first detected it on April 29, 2019.

Popular YouTuber ‘Prof Simon’ Holland said that a source inside the $100 million nonprofit ‘Breakthrough Listen’ claims it has finally found proof of alien life. Above, Comet PanSTARRS C/2014 Q1 visible over Australia’s Parkes radio telescope – which first detected the signal

Holland described the signal as currently being in the ‘low information zone,’ a term coined by skeptic Mick West to describe cases where tantalizing but minimal data makes it all but impossible for science to rule out even the most incredible theories.

‘The technical hurdles faced,’ Holland said, ‘are that the signal is very weak.’ 

But citing a source with firsthand knowledge from within the Oxford-led nonprofit project Breakthrough Listen, Holland is persuaded that evidence is mounting in favor of the theory that this signal did originate from an advanced alien species.

‘My contact is a senior EU [European Union] radio telescope administrator,’ Holland told DailyMail.com.

‘We have found a non-human extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy,’ he said, ‘and people don’t know about it.’ 

Breakthrough Listen began as a $100-million nonprofit research project initiated by the Soviet-born Israeli entrepreneur, investor and physicist Yuri Milner in January 2016.

Its radio telescope-based ‘search for extraterrestrial intelligence’ (SETI) efforts are just one part of the billionaire’s wider moonshot program, Breakthrough Initiatives.

Since 2023, Breakthrough Listen has been led by the physicist Dr Andrew Siemion at Oxford University in the UK.

According to Holland, Breakthrough Listen on the cusp of confirming that its prime candidate for a message from an extraterrestrial civilization, BLC-1, is the real thing.  

The project first picked up BLC-1 via Australia’s Parkes radio telescope in 2019, but by 2021 the team’s astronomers had come to believe that it was likely a false positive or ‘an artifact of Earth-based interference from human technologies.’

Back in October 2021, Breakthrough Listen announced that the radio signal it researchers thought came from near Proxima Centauri (above) was likely nothing more than a 'false positive.' Word from Holland's source inside the group is that the team's opinion has changed

In short, although BLC-1 appeared to originate from a world orbiting the star Proxima Centauri, the team noted other Earth-based signals that it closely resembled. 

Their provisional conclusion in 2021 was that BLC-1 was much more likely to be some unidentified radio wave pollution coming from Earth, possibly even in Australia.

But Holland said that Breakthrough Listen might be changing its tune.

‘The signal, instead of being the giant buzz of everything in the universe that we hear through all radio telescopes, was a narrow electromagnetic spectrum,’ he explained.

‘It’s a single point source,’ Holland emphasized in his interview Thursday, meaning that he has been told the signal is unlikely to be local or noise from deep space. 

‘They found the evidence of a non-human technological signature,’ he said.

The possible signal from an alien civilization, BLC1 (pictured), had 'characteristics broadly consistent with hypothesized technosignatures' - meaning that they could be interpreted as evidence of some kind of intelligently made technology detectable from light years away

Holland, a popular science educator known as ‘Professor Simon’ on YouTube, has had a long career producing films with the BBC, Smithsonian TV, and PBS Nova, as well as for the University of Hawaii’s NASA-funded ‘Finding Earth-Killer Asteroids.’

‘I am a retired BBC film editor, specialist factual dept.,’ as Holland summed it up to DailyMail.com. ‘I taught media studies at the graduate level after leaving the BBC.’

Holland said that he believes, from his conversations with insiders and his own analysis, that Breakthrough Listen is now in a race against time to beat Chinese government researchers to publication with their earthshattering findings.

‘The Chinese might be pipping them to the post, with their, FAST [Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope] program,’ Holland told the Mirror. ‘It’s the largest telescope in the world since Arecibo.’

A curious announcement — almost immediately retracted — from China’s state-backed publication Science and Technology Daily did announce that FAST had discovered an alien signal back in 2022.

But the notoriously tight-lipped Chinese government has yet to clarify the retraction, or whether FAST, nicknamed ‘Heaven’s Eye,’ was trained on this same BLC-1 signal.

Holland said that both Breakthrough Listen and the Chinese government scientists expect to be breaking news of their confirmed signal from an alien civilization soon.

WHAT IS SETI’S BREAKTHROUGH LISTEN INITIATIVE?

Breakthrough Listen is a privately funded, decade-long research project based at the University of California, Berkeley.

It has just announced a significant number of new observations. 

They examined roughly 1,300 nearby stars using large antennas in West Virginia and Australia.

For each of these star systems, they sifted through several billion radio channels, looking for a signal of the type that only a radio transmitter can produce. 

No extraterrestrial radio emissions were detected.

But those 1,300 stars represent only a minuscule sample of the total planetary population.

But, Breakthrough Listen’s last public comments on the mystery of BLC-1 came in October 2021, when its radio astronomers were leaning more toward the idea that this unusual signal had merely come for human sources.

Although BLC1 had ‘characteristics broadly consistent with hypothesized technosignatures,’ the team’s consensus was that they were really just signals from Earth that were getting in the way of their efforts to listen-in on distance worlds.

The radio wave signal was initially detected in April and May 2019 from the Australia-based Parkes Telescope at a frequency of 980 MHz. 

‘The original signal found by Shane Smith [an intern] is not obviously detected when the telescope is pointed away from Proxima Centauri,’ Dr Sofia Sheikh, a radio astronomer and astrobiologist with Breakthrough Listen, said at the time.

Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years from Earth and has two confirmed planets, a Jupiter-like gas giant and a rocky world called Proxima b in the habitable zone — key features of the star system that still has scientists excited about its prospects as a home for alien life.

Breakthrough Listen’s researchers scanned the Proxima Centauri star system across a wide range of frequencies, from 700 megahertz to 4 gigahertz ‘(in other words, performing the equivalent of tuning to over 800 million radio channels at a time,’ according to their statement at the time. 

They found four million hits that were eventually whittled away to 1 million after looking at hits with no motion.

Another filter was applied for the remaining hits, as they had to appear to come from the direction of Proxima Centauri.

The researchers pointed the Parkes Telescope at the star and then pointed it away, toggling between the ‘on-off’ pattern several times, which left them with 5,160 possible candidates.

While the team had quickly ruled out interference from satellites or other human aircraft, they came to suspect that faulty equipment near the Parkes radio telescope in Australia had created BLC-1.

'The Chinese might be pipping them to the post, with their, FAST [Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope] program,' Holland told the Mirror. 'It's the largest telescope in the world since Arecibo.' Above, an aerial view of FAST, which is nicknamed 'Heaven's Eye'

When Dr Sheikh and here colleagues revisited the signal, they discovered that an automated sorting program among their filters had previously ignored several ‘look alike’ signals that resembled BLC-1 but emitted at other frequencies.

Dr Sheikh told the journal Nature at the time that she suspected the signal was coming from a local piece of malfunctioning electronic equipment, like a phone or computer, just before the faulty device was shut down for repairs.

The signal contained a range of frequencies, the team reported in their peer-reviewed study in Nature, that was ‘consistent with common clock oscillator frequencies used in digital electronics.’

‘Given a haystack of millions of signals, the most likely explanation is still that it is a transmission from human technology that happens to be “weird” in just the right way to fool our filters,’ Dr Sheikh said in 2021.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Breakthrough Listen for comment, and this article will be updated, if the non-profit SETI initiative responds.

KEY DISCOVERIES IN HUMANITY’S SEARCH FOR ALIEN LIFE

Discovery of pulsars

British astronomer Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell was the first person to discover a pulsar in 1967 when she spotted a radio pulsar.

Since then other types of pulsars that emit X-rays and gamma rays have also been spotted.

Pulsars are essentially rotating, highly magnetised neutron stars but when they were first discovered it was believed they could have come from aliens.

‘Wow!’ radio signal

In 1977, an astronomer looking for alien life in the night sky above Ohio spotted a radio signal so powerful that he excitedly wrote ‘Wow!’ next to his data.

The 72-second blast, spotted by Dr Jerry Ehman through a radio telescope, came from Sagittarius but matched no known celestial object.

Conspiracy theorists have since claimed that the ‘Wow! signal’, which was 30 times stronger than background radiation, was a message from intelligent extraterrestrials.

Fossilised Martian microbes

In 1996 Nasa and the White House made the explosive announcement that the rock contained traces of Martian bugs.

The meteorite, catalogued as Allen Hills (ALH) 84001, crashed onto the frozen wastes of Antarctica 13,000 years ago and was recovered in 1984. 

Photographs were released showing elongated segmented objects that appeared strikingly lifelike.

However, the excitement did not last long. Other scientists questioned whether the meteorite samples were contaminated. 

They also argued that heat generated when the rock was blasted into space may have created mineral structures that could be mistaken for microfossils. 

Behaviour of Tabby’s Star in 2005 

The star, otherwise known as KIC 8462852, is located 1,400 light years away and has baffled astronomers since being discovered in 2015.

It dims at a much faster rate than other stars, which some experts have suggested is a sign of aliens harnessing the energy of a star.

Recent studies have ‘eliminated the possibility of an alien megastructure’, and instead, suggests that a ring of dust could be causing the strange signals.

Exoplanets in the Goldilocks zone in 2017 

In February 2017 astronomers announced they had spotted a star system with planets that could support life just 39 light years away.

Seven Earth-like planets were discovered orbiting nearby dwarf star ‘Trappist-1’, and all of them could have water at their surface, one of the key components of life.

Three of the planets have such good conditions, that scientists say life may have already evolved on them. 

Researchers claim that they will know whether or not there is life on any of the planets within a decade, and said: ‘This is just the beginning.’

Saga cruises towards insurance tie-up with Belgian rival Ageas
Spread the love

Saga said it is in ‘exclusive negotiations’ with a Belgian rival over a tie-up for its troubled insurance arm.

As it announced a surge in profits on the back of booming demand for its cruises, the over-50s group also said it has agreed to sell its insurance writing business to the same firm, Ageas, for £67.5m.

The update sent shares in Saga up 9.1 per cent, or 11.4p, to 136.4p.

The companies last week said they were holding talks over a potential deal, which would help it to reduce its debt burden.

Saga told its shareholders yesterday it is in exclusive negotiations with Ageas to establish a 20-year partnership for motor and home insurance. 

Ageas UK would run Saga’s motor and home products, which consisted of gross written premiums in excess of £479m for the year to July. Ageas will pay £80m up front as part of the deal, with this potentially increasing if certain targets are met.

The firms also confirmed that Ageas will buy Saga’s Acromas insurance underwriting business. Ageas UK will pay £67.5m for the business in a deal expected to complete in the second quarter of next year.

Saga boss Mike Hazell said: ‘We are hugely excited at the opportunity to grow our home and motor insurance business through this proposed partnership with Ageas.’

Ant Middle, chief executive of Ageas UK, said: ‘This proposed deal with Saga aligns perfectly with our strategy to profitably grow in UK personal lines and in creating powerful partnerships to the benefit of our customers.’

The roast dinner has been a staple meal in the British diet since as far back as 1485 – with King Henry VII allegedly a proud meat and gravy guzzler.

But now, the humble dish has become a much pricier commodity, with Gen Z Brits now opting to spend their Sunday’s tucking into luxury lunches with steak fillet, bone marrow gravy and lobster tail trimmings.

Gone are the days when a classic serving of meat and two veg could be found in nearly any British pub for under £20.

Young people are now paying upwards of £70 for Yorkshire puddings, mash and all the usual (and the less usual) trimmings.

One TikToker, who’s account is called @eatingwithtod, is famed on TikTok for discovering some of London’s tastiest eats.

In one video revealing his ‘top’ roasts, he shares four London eateries, each serving up their own version of luxurious roast dinners.

In the video, the food vlogger suggests three different dinner offerings in the capital, each respectively costing £58, £54, and the cheapest, a £25 meal.

The eye-watering lunch boasts premium cuts of meat such as Roast Sirloin of Hereford Beef, Roast Salt Marsh Lamb, Dover Sole and Beef Wellington. 

Included in the premium price is a starter and a pudding, both which come made using prime ingredients.

Twists on the classics include one Caramelised brioche pudding, burnt orange purée, buttermilk ice cream, and another, Lemon tart, candied citrus fruit, Earl Grey meringue. 

Among those pricier Sunday grubs is Ned’s Feast at Millie’s Lounge, which serves an all-you-can-eat lunch every week.

The posh venue not only serves up roast cuts of meat, but offers customers lobster tail to have alongside their gravy and mash.

He said: ‘People are willing to pay more for quality, whether it be fashion, furniture or food, so it’s not surprising to see a more premium offering enter the market.’

His own pub now offers ‘premium sharing roasts with prime cuts’ which never fail to draw in customers. 

‘When we buy a whole lamb, we will sell the racks for £70 for the whole rack for 2 or 3 to share and they always sell out,’ he said.

Hosting and events expert and founder of her own company, Lavinia Stewart-Brown said: ‘Food experiences as a whole have definitely levelled up in the last few years—the options in terms of restaurants and cuisines are endless.

‘However, the roast has had a real facelift in the last few years – in what is a crowded food and restaurant market, people have had to make fun and interesting changes to stand out.’
