Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Good Day to be rich and beautiful, as a study at the University of California compared the roles played by physical attractiveness and wealth in men's and women's choice of a mate. The survey showed that while women ranked economic factors as the most important, men gave the highest rankings to physical attractiveness, with economic considerations being of secondary concern.
Bad Day for complexions, as Britain featured very low down in a table comparing the sums spent on skin-care products in various European countries. While the average Frenchwoman spends pounds 44.37 a year on facial, body-tanning and hair-removing products, Germans spend pounds 29.95 and Italians pounds 21.95, the figure for the average British woman is a paltry pounds 17.33. Japanese women, however, are well ahead of Europe, with an annual spend of pounds 58.85.
Hot Day for families, as the counselling service Relate warned of the perils of hot weather and holidays: "Spending time with the family can magnify problems because you can't get away from them as you can when you are at work," a spokeswoman said.
