I believe that it is important to share examples of a middle way somewhere between free birthing and obstetrical violence. On the day of the birth of my child, guided by our friend, I stayed in conscious movement the whole day throughout the contractions. Our midwife arrived late in the day, a couple of hours before the actual birth.

The potential casual transfer of child sexual abuse images was mentioned in an FBI file nearly 30 years prior. Farmer, whose sister Annie was abused by Epstein, told the FBI that he “is believed to have sold the pictures to potential buyers”. They did not recognize that she had reported him for possible child sexual abuse images; the public confirmation of this report came during Epstein document disclosures.

A surge in the price of silver to record highs this month has prompted a warning from Elon Musk that manufacturers could suffer the consequences. Silver has risen sharply during December, part of a precious metals rally that also pushed gold and platinum to record levels on Boxing Day. New restrictions on silver exports from China, which begin on 1 January, have created supply fears while geopolitical worries have lifted demand for safe-haven assets. “The rally in precious metals has been supported by expectations of multiple Fed rate cuts in 2026, alongside robust central bank and private investor buying.
