Norris sure unhappy Verstappen will stay in F1 ‘longer than people say’

Published by Sam Flores

WOKING, England, April 22 : World champion Lando Norris expects Max Verstappen to stay in Formula One and fight for a fifth title despite the Dutch driver suggesting he might leave because of his unhappiness over the sport’s new rules. Red Bull’s Verstappen has been one of the loudest critics of the new engine era and what he calls “anti-racing”. “I also saw that he said he wants to win a fifth world championship so you know, I’m sure he’ll stay longer than people say,” Norris told reporters at a McLaren event at their Woking headquarters on Wednesday. Norris beat Verstappen by two points last season, ending his friend and rival’s run of four titles in a row. MORE WINS THAN ANYONE LAST YEAR Verstappen, 28, won more races than anyone last year but Red Bull, with their own engine replacing the previous Honda power unit, have been far less competitive under the new rules. His long-time race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase is set to join McLaren at the end of 2027, a move Verstappen has …

What Happy V Unhappy Married Couples Bring Up In Sex Therapy

What Happy V Unhappy Married Couples Bring Up In Sex Therapy

Published by Sam Flores

About 20% of Brits say they feel somewhat sexually incompatible with their partners; a factor you might think determines their levels of happiness. But speaking to HuffPost UK, sex therapist and intimacy coach Leigh Norén said that “oftentimes unhappily married couples and happily married couples bring up the same sorts of issues in sex therapy”. What tends to be different, though, is how they present and the causes behind their concerns. What do happy vs unhappy married couples bring up most in sex therapy? Both groups often come in to discuss “mismatched libidos, erectile unpredictability and orgasm issues,” the sex therapist said, “but the sexual problems affect the couples in different ways”. Among happy couples, there might still be a lot of physical, but non-sexual, affection, she added. They’ll also have, “A lot of emotional connection. But it’s no longer translating into sex for various reasons. “For instance, they might feel more like roommates than lovers because their identities have become enmeshed. They act like a collective and do everything with one another, as opposed …

Trump voters at CPAC unhappy about Iran, Epstein and economy

Trump voters at CPAC unhappy about Iran, Epstein and economy

Published by Sam Flores

There is a pall over the Make America Great Again, or MAGA, movement. Donald Trump overpromised. His public support has fallen. Some “America First” die-hards now openly criticize him. Amid war, economic challenges, democratic backsliding, the Epstein files and Americans shot dead in the street by government agents, Trump’s support is softening and his vow to bring a “golden age of America” is looking more like a political winter for Trump and his MAGA movement. This is my big takeaway from this year’s annual Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC. The event, organized by the American Conservative Union, launched with an international summit on March 25, 2026, and runs through March 28 in Grapevine, Texas. Don’t get me wrong. The attendees are decked out in red, white and blue MAGA merch: sequined “Trump” purses and jackets, USA flag bags, ties and headbands, and, of course, iconic red MAGA caps. As always, they chant “USA,” even if not as often or as loudly as before. Starting with the first talk by Rev. Franklin Graham, speakers here …

Men Who Can’t Let Themselves Enjoy Their Success Say These 11 Phrases On A Daily Basis

Published by Jenni Sidey

Success is supposed to feel rewarding. It’s often imagined as the point where things finally settle, where hard work pays off, and life feels easier or more satisfying. But for some men, reaching their goals doesn’t bring the sense of relief or pride they expected. Instead, there’s a quiet pressure to keep going, do more, or prove that what they’ve achieved is actually enough. Research on achievement and well-being shows that people who struggle to internalize success often downplay their accomplishments or shift focus immediately to what’s next. Over time, this mindset shows up in everyday language. The phrases they repeat may sound harmless on the surface, but they often reveal a greater difficulty with feeling satisfied or allowing themselves to enjoy what they’ve built. Men who can’t let themselves enjoy their success say these 11 phrases on a daily basis 1. ‘It’s not that big of a deal’ ViDI Studio / Shutterstock Men who struggle to enjoy success often minimize their achievements almost immediately.

Surfing-World champion says many top tour surfers unhappy with Olympic qualification tweaks

Published by Sam Flores

Feb 23 : World champion Yago Dora and other top surfers have criticised the sport’s Olympic body over changes to the qualification system for the 2028 Los Angeles Games, saying the new system is flawed and that their concerns have been ignored. Under tweaks announced by the International Surfing Association (ISA) last week, the number of surfers qualifying for LA28 from the privately owned World Surf League’s world championship tour will drop to 10 from 20. “We don’t want an easier pathway to qualify than the rest of the surfers,” Brazil’s Dora told Reuters from Hawaii on Sunday.   “We just wanted it to be fair, and we want to make sure that all the best surfers are representing their nations in the Olympics.” A total of 20 surfers, 10 from each gender, will qualify from the ISA’s 2028 World Surfing Games out of an unchanged total field of 48 surfers.  Most of the remaining athletes will qualify through one-off regional ISA events, with the maximum number of surfers per country rising to three from two.  …

A key personality trait is linked to the urge to cheat in unhappy men

A key personality trait is linked to the urge to cheat in unhappy men

Published by José Betancourt

A study in Sexual and Relationship Therapy found that men are more open to casual sex and infidelity than women. The research also highlights a strong link between relationship dissatisfaction, the desire for uncommitted sex, and the intention to cheat. Infidelity has long been defined as a violation of promises and commitments within a romantic relationship, reflecting a failure to uphold expectations of love, loyalty, and support. However, modern views conceptualize infidelity as physical, sexual, or emotional behaviors that violate relationship norms and cause distress and negative relationship outcomes. Exactly which behaviors constitute infidelity varies across couples, as norms regarding emotional and sexual exclusivity differ between relationships. The most common forms of infidelity are sexual and emotional infidelity. Sexual infidelity usually involves physical sexual behaviors with someone other than one’s partner. Emotional infidelity consists of forming intimate emotional bonds with a person other than the partner that breach relationship rules agreed upon by the couple. Research indicates that sexual and emotional infidelity often co-occur; they are, most often, not independent phenomena. A key psychological characteristic …
