The couple aren't sure if those are going to translate into anything concrete just yet – but they believe they have a receptive audience.
The main part of the research, supported by PhD Nutrition, is to determine how much food an endurance athlete can eat while maintaining their performance, which is an area Mr Edgley believes is seldom considered during training.“We’re looking at the upper limit of what the human digestive system can actually process during endurance sport,” he said.
“It’s so interesting that I think that’s what this swim will come down to.

Tata Steel’s restructure could cost thousands more jobs in the community surrounding the Port Talbot works unless action is taken, a report has warned.A confidential economic assessment, seen by BBC Wales, warned Tata’s plans to cut 2,800 roles could mean up to 9,500 are lost when the broader impact is considered.

Jabri says he discussed the Yemen war in the White House before it started; and that Susan Rice, President Obama’s National Security Advisor, warned him that the US would only support an air campaign.However, Jabri claims MBS was so determined to press ahead in Yemen that he ignored the Americans.
“We were surprised that there was a royal decree to allow the ground interventions,” Jabri says. “He forged the signature of his dad for that royal decree. The king’s mental capacity was deteriorating.”Jabri says his source for this allegation was “credible, reliable” and linked to the Ministry of Interior where he was chief of staff.
