I tried and failed to learn to juggle three balls many times, I've just got terrible coordination. But one day I stood over a bed and just threw them in the air and listened to the rhythm of the "thuds" as the missed balls hit the mattress. As soon as I'd got that down it was like a switch clicked and my hands knew "when" to be ready for the catch, rather than trying to follow the balls to catch them. I never managed four, so mileage may vary with this technique, but it was a very surprising lightbulb moment.

This was great fun. The race to Rome says it's to the colosseum, but it's actually pointing to a roundabout near Termini station :)

How on earth are people managing in 5 hours though? I had £95 left after a bus, ferry, train, and bus, taking me to 2.5 days; the ferry alone took nearly a day.

Ctrl+` will show the underlying formula, or you could use conditional formatting to apply whatever style you want to static values =NOT(ISNUMBER(FIND("=",FORMULATEXT(A1)))), or you could write a VBA macro to do that and more (e.g. find all the formula that have been zeroised, etc).

I've never seen that particular claim about the museum - it was set up to hold Sloane's collection alongside the Cottonian and Harleian libraries. Where is it from? Is this a misremembering of the tale about the discovery of the flood tablet?

I'd guess war is usually excluded from insurance policies.

I wonder if the 1 in 200 year example wasn't communicated very well; it could be the actuaries view a long-lasting 10% increase to be the 1 in 200 year event; it does sound low for a single year stress.

Article lead: The overall risk of children becoming severely ill or dying from Covid is extremely low, a new analysis of Covid infection data confirms.

As far as I can tell the linked report mentions nothing about severity of illness, only mortality.

Edit: Second study is linked to further down the page which addresses the severe illnesses, as ricardobeat points out.
