A UK store has left shoppers confused after it began promoting a range of Easter sweet treats – weeks before Christmas Day. This time of year, shoppers usually make a beeline for the mince pies, cream liqueur, and tubs of Roses that line the shelves at grocery stores across the country. Preparations for Easter don’t start until much later but that doesn’t seem to have stopped bugdet shop B&M from advertising Cadbury’s Mini eggs months before the festival is celebrated in April. Bags of Cadbury’s Mini eggs were put on display at B&M on December 10 – but it didn’t take long for chocolate…
Scientists are sounding the alarm after a series of earthquakes rocked the West Coast last week, warning a major seismic event is ‘inevitable.’Earthquakes trigger tsunamis by causing the ocean floor to rise or fall, pushing water above to form a massive wave.But it isn’t just California at risk. Washington sits along the Cascadia Subduction Zone that is capable of a ‘megaquake’, they said. Harold Tobin, director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, said: ‘[The] 700-mile long fault capable of producing earthquakes up to magnitude 9 and tsunamis that will impact the entire coast.’The quake and resulting tsunami could be devastate the Pacific Northwest, killing…

Cory Mills filed impeachment articles against President Biden for pausing arms deliveries to Israel sparking widespread outrage – even by Democrats.Mills is accusing Biden of engaging in a ‘quid pro quo’ exchange by withholding military aid to pressure Israel to change its tactics in its war on Gaza.He says it’s only fair Biden gets impeached in the same manner as President Donald Trump in 2019 – for allegedly pressuring Ukraine to dig up dirt on the Bidens by withholding aid.

A new discovery in Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza suggests the structure was not just a pharaoh’s final resting place, but also a giant power plant.Scientists blasted the 4,600-year-old structure with electromagnetic waves, a form of radiation that travel though the universe, finding it focused and amplified the energy into specific chambers and around the base.Electromagnetic waves are used in such research because the radiation interacts with matter in unique ways, allowing experts to probe specific details about a structure’s composition, arrangement and dynamics.The waves built up as energy in the King’s chamber, the Queen’s chamber, and an unfinished chamber beneath the structure.…

Campaigners today hit back after health chiefs revealed NHS patients with Alzheimer’s would miss out on a ‘breakthrough’ drug proven to tackle the devastating disease.Experts have long believed donanemab could herald a new era of dementia treatment, after studies showed it slowed the memory-robbing illness in its early stages.Today it was approved by medicines regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Yet, in a blow to tens of thousands of Brits, draft guidance by the NHS spending watchdog ruled the benefits of the drug could not justify the roll-out cost.It means donanemab will only be available to those who could pay privately…

A strange natural phenomenon could unravel the mystery of Loch Ness Monster sightings, according to an expert researcher.Alan McKenna, founder of Loch Ness Exploration (LNE), believes elusive ‘standing waves’ might explain sightings of the mythical monster.He said: ‘A standing wave occurs when two boat wakes of the exact same frequency and amplitude are moving in opposite directions on the loch surface.’When the two boat wakes finally meet and interfere with one another the results have the potential to create a standing wave.’The peaks of these standing waves, rising above the otherwise calm waters, could be mistaken for ‘humps’ above the…
