☆ Rucking is a buzzy fitness trend so I tried it. I'm fit and loved how efficiently it turned my daily walk into a challenging workout.

Rucking appealed to me because it seemed like a simple way to make my daily lunchtime walks more efficient. That said, it doesn't look like a normal backpack, so I did get a few strange looks as I strolled around the rural village where I live on a weekday lunchtime. It felt very different from carrying a normal backpack, too, likely due to the weight and its positioning. AdvertisementI also learned that the ruck isn't something I will just always throw on when going for my daily walk. It ended up being a great workout, and definitely left me with aching muscles the next day.

Veterans and world leaders gathered in Normandy on Thursday to mark the 80th anniversary of the June 6, 1944 D-Day landings, when more than 150,000 Allied soldiers arrived in France by sea and air to drive out the forces of Nazi Germany. With war raging in Ukraine, on Europe's borders, this year's commemoration of this major turning point in World War Two will carry special resonance. Leaders are set to draw parallels with World War Two and warn of the dangers of isolationism and the far-right. Under glorious blue skies, they were joined by a collection of Second World War jeeps. But Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, touching off Europe's biggest armed conflict since World War Two, was not invited.

The footage appears to show Israeli troops shooting and throwing grenades or depth charges from Defender-class boats at Hamas fighters.

At one time, those tanks were a feature of “Operation Mincemeat,” a punchy, plucky, highly unlikely West End musical, which tells the even more unlikely story of an MI-5 escapade. “Part of the joy was that the crazy stuff was all true,” said Natasha Hodgson, a member of the theater collective SpitLip, which created the show. But there was so very much crazy stuff. They especially doubted the dummy Sherman tanks, which the Allies created to misdirect the Germans. “We had to take the truth out because it was too silly,” the composer Felix Hagan, another member of SpitLip said.

LONDON, March 2 (Reuters) - Britain's Royal Navy said on Thursday it had seized Iranian weapons, including anti-tank guided missiles, last month from a smugglers vessel in international waters in the Gulf of Oman. When hailed by the Royal Navy, the vessel initially attempted to navigate to Iranian territorial waters but was stopped by a team of Royal Marines, who then boarded the small boat and recovered the suspicious packages, Britain's Ministry of Defence said. "This seizure by HMS Lancaster and the permanent presence of the Royal Navy in the Gulf region supports our commitment to uphold international law and tackle activity that threatens peace and security around the world," British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said in a statement. Initial inspection suggested the packages included Iranian anti-tank guided missiles and medium-range ballistic missile components, Britain said, adding that it had informed the United Nations about the seizure. It follows two previous Royal Navy seizures of Iranian weapons in the region early last year.

☆ Why it's taken nearly 100 years to have jet packs

So why has it taken so long to develop jet packs that can reach 1,200 feet and fly up to 10 minutes? Why has it taken almost a century for us to see real jet packs? Narrator: The arrival of small but powerful jet engines designed for model aircraft brought back an interest in the possibilities of jet packs. Less than 10 years later, companies like Gravity Industries have demonstrated what modern microturbine-powered jet packs are capable of. But it's not far-fetched to think that jet packs like Gravity's could be used for more than just recreation.

Prinţul consort Philip, Duce de Edinburgh, soţul Reginei Elisabeta a Marii Britanii a murit la vârsta de 99 de ani, informează Casa regală a Marii Britanii. Atunci când prinţul Philip avea vârsta de 18 ani, unchiul lui, regele Greciei, a fost obligat să abdice, iar tatăl lui a fost expulzat din ţară, după Războiul greco-turc. Alături de părinţii şi cele patru surori ale lui, Philip a fugit din Grecia la bordul unui vas al armatei britanice. În 2011, pentru a sărbători momentul în care soţul ei a împlinit vârsta de 90 de ani, regina Elisabeta a II-a a acordat titlul de Lord Mare Amiral al Marinei Regale.
