I never thought crypto trade was such a rewarding investment until I met an expert trader who guided me through the process. Thanks to the knowledge I received, I’ve earned £40,000 from my 2nd Trade in just 3hrs. I’m sincerely grateful to my coach, @michthegod_ for her guidance🤗

Now looks quite likely that the 3rd placed team in Group A is only going to have 1 point, assuming South Korea and Mexico do their bit in MD3.
Thst’s good news for whichever of Morocco or Brazil finishes 3rd in our group.

I can personally confirm, first hand, that the Scots have taken over Boston and brought only happiness and joy. The bars… for sure, but we’ve also seen folks at breakfast, at the playgrounds with kids. It’s a jolt of fun everyone needed!
What a gift this World Cup is!

Dear @elonmusk, you're a trillionaire now, can you pay to keep the #TartanArmy in the US until after the Fourth of July? They are a spending $$ throughout Boston, Providence. The longer they are here for #WorldCup2026, the better America looks globally. #America250 could be epic.

After the first round of group games at the World Cup 2026, just one European team have won with a clean sheet.
That team is Scotland 🏴

🫀 New Study: Cardiac Remodeling and Clinical Outcomes After Mitral Edge-to-Edge Repair With the PASCAL® System
In this study of 130 patients with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with the PASCAL® system:
🔹 Cardiac index improved by 11.4% immediately after the procedure
🔹 Left atrial pressures decreased by 37%
🔹 Left ventricular size was reduced at follow-up, indicating reverse cardiac remodeling
🔹 Right ventricular function significantly improved
🔹 Patients with improved left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) experienced lower rates of heart failure hospitalization and mortality
📌 The findings suggest that the acute haemodynamic improvements achieved during PASCAL TEER may translate into favourable cardiac remodeling and improved mid-term clinical outcomes. Early post-procedural haemodynamic assessment could help identify patients most likely to benefit from the intervention.

🍷🫀 Amazing news from the internet concerning Wine
Apparently wine is now:
👉 cardioprotective
👉 anti-inflammatory
👉 longevity-enhancing
👉 basically liquid resveratrol with a cork.
Meanwhile… the actual paper says something much less sexy:
👉 alcohol is NOT healthy.
Yes, the authors discuss:
- polyphenols
- Mediterranean patterns
- meal context
- moderation
…but they are also very clear:
👉 prevention should focus on:
- diet quality
- blood pressure
- weight
- lipids
- glycaemia
—not on drinking wine “for the heart.”
Translation:
your Barolo is not a statin.
Sorry.
The paper basically says:
👉 if you already drink moderately,
👉 with meals,
👉 without contraindications,
👉 without binge drinking,
…risk might be acceptable in selected individuals.
Which is VERY different from: “wine is healthy.”
Because ethanol remains ethanol.
The liver unfortunately does not care whether it came from:
🍷 Burgundy
🍺 beer
🥃 whisky
or “organic biodynamic volcanic natural wine aged in amphora under moonlight.”
My take
Modern wellness culture has an incredible ability to transform:
❌ “possibly less harmful in context”
into:
👉 “superfood.”
⚡ The Mediterranean diet was never:
“drink more wine.”
It was:
👉 move more
👉 eat better
👉 stay lean
👉 share meals
👉 don’t smoke
👉 don’t binge drink
A slightly less marketable message.
