Despite the international backlash, Netanyahu remains resolute in his position, arguing that Israel's control over the Golan Heights is justified by historical, security, and strategic considerations.

Sitting down for most of the day is obviously bad for us, known to raise our risk of type 2 diabetes, cancer and even an early death. However, it’s largely unavoidable for those of us with desk-based jobs. Too much sitting is also detrimental for our mental health, a study from sportswear company Asics has found. Survey results from more than 7000 desk-based workers found that mood drops after just two hours and stress spikes four hours in. However, taking a 15-minute exercise break reverses these effects. Taking a midday stroll or jog can vastly improve your health at work.

Here, he shares his top tips. 8am: Read a book on your commute instead of scrolling social media. Most of us are spending up to nine hours of our day sitting down. If you’re seated for your commute, at least make sure you’re engaging your brain, Stubbs says. “It is passive sedentary behaviour (such as sitting down to watch Netflix or scroll social media) and not active sedentary behaviour (sitting down to read a book or play a game, for example) that is particularly not good for our mental health,” he explains. Swap your afternoon biscuit for a bar of dark chocolate, a healthier option that can lift your mood. A study from Stubbs and colleagues which looked at the self-reported health habits and medical notes of around 40,000 people found that those engaging in more than three hours of active sedentary behaviour per day had a 26 per cent lower risk of depression compared to those who did less than this. “Additionally, our research has shown that excessive social media is literally rewiring our brain and altering our reward-processing systems, making it harder to become motivated for everyday tasks,” Stubbs adds.UCF, LSU face off with improved focus in mindHenderson's belief in his team's capabilities was not merely empty rhetoric but a reflection of the collective mindset instilled by manager Jurgen Klopp. The German tactician's tactical acumen and man-management skills have been instrumental in shaping Liverpool into a formidable force in English football. Under Klopp's guidance, Henderson and his teammates have developed a winning mentality and a never-say-die attitude that has seen them achieve remarkable success in recent years.
The Fort William BIA has a very clear message for the City of Thunder Bay and its proposed temporary shelter village. “Stop this project and leave it to the experts,” said Aldo Ruberto, chairman of the Fort William BIA. The former councillor was joined by seven local business owners to address their opposition to the development of a temporary homeless village in the south core. City administration is recommending a Miles Street lot for 80 small housing units as an alternative for those living in tents at encampments in the city. Tony DiPaolo, owner of Armani’s and vice chairman of the BIA (business improvement area), explained how members of the BIA researched success numbers of similar villages in Peterborough and Kitchener — Ontario cities that Thunder Bay is modelling its village on. They found that in a period of four to six years of operating the villages, six people have transitioned into permanent housing in Kitchener and one person, of 50, transitioned in Peterborough. “As we looked into it more, we found a lot of holes in their modelling,” DiPaolo said. Ruberto says the success is not there. “If we’re going to have solutions, let’s have long-term solutions. Let’s do things that will take care of the people. And if you want to spend money, spend it on addiction centres and counselling. That’s where the real help is required — with mental health” he said. “The bottom line is the City is not an expert in this area. They need to leave it to the experts.” DiPaolo said the $40,000 allocation to the BIA from the City to offset security and revitalization concerns is “nice, and would help the BIA members. . . . But there’s a bigger issue and it’s not worth us taking $40,000 when this could be financially impacting on the whole area for years to come.” The BIA spent $40,000 on cleaning and security last year, according to DiPaolo. He also said the BIA asked how the City will get people to transition into long-term housing. “(The City) told us they’ll have metrics, they’ll look into it, they’ll analyze it,” he said. “But there isn’t really a plan yet. As business owners and area residents, the biggest concern is when you start bringing in an influx of more people, there are some side effects. There’s additional garbage on the street, there are additional encampments in lanes, and additional people and unfortunately, drug use. This scares area residents and businesses.” Ruberto said the BIA asked the City about other possible locations for the village and were told the City would keep those sites for future development. “With the millions of dollars we’re spending on revitalizing the downtown core, how does this attract new businesses, new opportunities for people that want to come in the core area? Is that what (the City) is telling the people and the businesses in the south core? That there is no future development down here?” Ruberto added that the District of Thunder Bay Social Services Administration Board will receive $16.2 million a year for the next three years, thanks to the provincial and federal governments. They have created more shelter spaces for the demand that might come up in the winter. “It’s fantastic. That’s what happens with social services and most agencies — if there’s a demand, they’ll step up. The federal government and the provincial government will also step up.” Ruberto also called the City’s (proposed village) survey “flawed” because there was “no room on the survey for someone to object to the project.” “They said you have two choices: here or there — not another choice that says we don’t agree with the project or the location,” Ruberto pointed out. “Of the people that are impacted directly in the area, 100 per cent are against it, but people that live on the other side of the city or live outside the city fill out surveys online and say, ‘Yeah, we support it because it doesn’t affect us.’” He said council is in a jam and want a quick solution. “And I get that, and I understand that, because people are sympathetic, empathetic, and want these people (safely) off the streets.”Kirill Kaprizov gives the Minnesota Wild long-absent offensive star power
