Hatred

• Over a beat Tom cooked up, neither he nor Ben hold anything back (would you expect anything less though, really?).
• Ben raps to the camera, donning a hoodie emblazoned with the signature phrase, "FACTS don't care about your feelings."
• Neon lights and TVs glow, lasers surge, and Tom and Ben pop off with potentially internet-breaking consequences.
• Shapiro added, "As a longtime devotee of rap, becoming a rapper was the natural next step in my career trajectory.

• It turns out that hating happy people may be a reflection of cynicism and even dishonesty.
• Has not had a raise in over five years (36% of Retaliators, 41% of Begrudgers, and 17% of Joy Sharers agreed with this statement).
• PSYCHTESTS' STUDY ALSO INDICATED THAT THE RETALIATORS WERE NOT ONLY MORE CYNICAL THAN THE BEGRUDGERS AND JOY SHARERS; THEY WERE ALSO LESS HONEST AND ALTRUISTIC.
• 35% enjoy it when bad things happen to the people they hate, compared to 33% of Begrudgers and 13% of Joy Sharers.

• These are crimes of a particularly serious nature with a cross-border dimension, for which Parliament and Council can establish minimum rules to define criminal offences and sanctions.
• Currently, member states’ criminal laws deal with hate speech and hate crime in different ways, while EU-wide rules apply only when such crimes are committed based on race, skin colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin.

  Rapporteur Maite PAGAZAURTUNDÚA (Renew, Spain) commented: “In addition to lacking a comprehensive European legal framework to tackle hate speech and hate crime, we are facing new social dynamics, through which the normalisation of hate evolves very quickly.
• We ask the Council to finally give the green light to the legislation against hate crime and hate speech at EU level, always in accordance with the principle of proportionality and guaranteeing citizens' freedom of expression.”

• Doing more physical activity is a popular and worthwhile goal.
• If you’re hoping to be more active in 2024, perhaps you’ve invested in an activity tracker, or you’re considering buying one.
• And will a basic tracker do the trick, or do you need a fancy one with lots of features?

Why use an activity tracker?

• Most people have a vague idea of how active they are, but this is inaccurate a lot of the time.
• Once people consciously start to keep track of how much activity they do, they often realise it’s less than what they thought, and this motivates them to be more active.

• By tracking steps or “activity minutes” you can ascertain whether or not you are meeting the physical activity guidelines (150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week).
• Research has shown the most popular brands of activity trackers are generally reliable when it comes to tracking basic measures such as steps and activity minutes.

But wait, there’s more

• Resting heart rate This is your heart rate at rest, which is normally somewhere between 60 and 100 beats per minute.
• Your resting heart rate will gradually go down as you become fitter, especially if you’re doing a lot of high-intensity exercise.
• Your risk of dying of any cause (all-cause mortality) is much lower when you have a low resting heart rate.
• Heart rate during exercise Activity trackers will also measure your heart rate when you’re active.

• The more oxygen your body can process, the harder you can work, and therefore the fitter you are.
• Inactive women and men would have a VO₂max lower than 30 and 40 ml/kg/min, respectively.
• A reasonably good VO₂max would be mid thirties and higher for women and mid forties and higher for men.
• For athletes, VO₂max is usually measured in a lab on a treadmill while wearing a mask that measures oxygen consumption.
