The positive effects of physical activity on physical and mental health are known to everyone. It’s often talked about as important for metabolism and mental health, but physical activity is just as important when it comes to your bladder, kidneys and pelvic floor. “The relationship between physical activity and bladder health, however, is more of a big picture concept than a straightforward equation,” explains urologist Aleece Fosnight. This is mainly due to the complexity of the urinary system, Center zdravlja.hr reports. When we talk about bladder health, we are also talking about blood circulation, kidney filtration, pelvic floor function and…

Each EU country will be left to its own devices to cope with the fuel price hikes, and the EU’s “stupid policy on the war in Ukraine is not in Croatia’s interest,” President Zoran Milanovic said in Koprivnica on Thursday. Milanovic said that the European Union is incapable of setting up a common relief policy in dealing with the energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, and therefore “everybody will be left to their own devices.” “It’s all about money. It will have to be taken from someone to compensate others,” said Milanovic in his comment on the fuel…
On the sidelines of events around Taiwan, there is regular information about participation in Chinese civilian ferry exercises. It is worth taking a closer look at the place and role of these units in the logistics of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. However, there are a few things that need to be underlined for starters. First of all, practically in every country there is a pool of ships to be mobilized in case of war. NATO also has such a collective pool. Sometimes the military even orders shipowners to make changes to the design of the unit in order to…

It can be said that the new amphibious ACV armored personnel carriers turned out to be salt in the eye for the US Marine Corps. USNI News said the Marines were suspending the first operational assignment of ACV carriers, which was due to begin later this year. The vehicles were to be delivered to subunits of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and the Makin Island Rapid Reaction Assault Group (ARG). The reason for the delay? Ongoing investigation following an incident in July this year in which the propulsion system malfunctioned in two transporters during tests in the ocean. In…
The International Legion in Ukraine is allegedly commanded by a Polish criminal who sends fighters on suicide missions and robbery sprees. The commander denies all accusations. “For four months, the legionnaires begged the state leadership to help them, but there was no reaction. And violations still happen. We published the article so that something would finally happen. The problems in the army must be solved now, during the war, because later it may be too late”, says the co-author of the report in “The Kyiv Independent”, Ana Mironjuk, in an interview with DW. Ukrainian newspapers in English published an article…
As we wrote two days ago, the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales (R09) suffered a propeller shaft failure just after leaving the HMNB Portsmouth home base. The latest information suggests that the failure is relatively serious and the ship will have to enter the shipyard to be repaired in a dry dock. Interestingly, unofficial leaks indicate that the repair is likely to take place in Rotterdam. Why is the British carrier to be repaired in the Netherlands? The main factor is the question of distance. The day before yesterday, Prince was anchored near the Isle of Wight, from…
Pavliček emphasized that it is unbelievable that this kind of theft could have taken place, and that only five people knew about it, so he believes that it will soon be seen who else is involved. Arrested persons in INA should have been supervised by those appointed by the Government, which brings us to the political responsibility of the Government, i.e. the relevant ministers, and even the Prime Minister himself, because clearly quality was not the key to being appointed to high and responsible positions, but party affiliation, says Pavliček. If the Government had given every household in Croatia a…
