France, life expectancy for women is 85.75 and for men is 80.03 according to 2023 data from national statistics institute, INSEE.
This is higher than in the UK, where life expectancy was 82.6 for women and 78.6 for men for the period 2020-2022, according to the Office of National Statistics.
France has also seen a “spectacular rise” in centenarians, according to the latest demographic figures.
Several of Glencore Plc’s largest shareholders believe that the company should retain its coal assets, according to people familiar with the matter, throwing a proposed spinoff into doubt.
Glencore, the world’s largest shipper of thermal coal with a market capitalization of about $73 billion, had said it intended to spin the business off within two years of closing a deal to buy the steelmaking coal assets of Teck Resources Ltd.
But major Glencore shareholders believe that the company would be better off retaining its coal business, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. The company’s largest shareholders are former Chief Executive Officer Ivan Glasenberg, the Qatar Investment Authority, and BlackRock Inc.
Glencore’s coal business is one of its most profitable units, driving record returns in recent years, and the plan to exit coal and list a new company in New York represented a major strategic pivot under current boss Gary Nagle. The company had long resisted pressure to follow rivals in exiting the business, arguing that the world still needed the dirtiest fuel and that it was more responsible to run the mines itself than sell them.
Nomlungu yes nice cheese 🧀
Our favourite Swedish cheese, Västerbotten, is known as the King of Cheese – because it’s utterly delicious.
It was created in 1872 by mistake when dairymaid Ulrika Eleonora Lindström was wooed by the milkman and accidentally left the cheese at the Burträsk Dairy to spoil while she went out for, erm, cuddles. They shelved the spoiled cheese anyway and tasted it over a year later, realising the mistake had resulted in an amazing discovery. The dairy has tried to make Västerbotten in other locations, but no matter what they try to do, it never tastes the same as when it’s made in the town of Burträsk.
We’ve been stocking Västerbotten cheese at ScandiKitchen since the day we opened, so we like to think of ourselves as small time Västerbotten pioneers in the UK! Perhaps this is why the makers asked me to give some classes on how to use Västerbotten in everyday cooking.
Here are some of the recipes I created. I highly recommend you make Västerbotten crème – it may seem the most simple of the lot, but it’s worth it.
Västerbotten is on sale online, and also in smaller packs at Ocado and in selected Waitrose stores. And if you haven’t got time to make any of these recipes, then a bit of grated Västerbotten in some mash tastes amazing.
