"Anything is possible if you have any kind of disability," says Llywelyn Williams

Four-time world champion adaptive surfer Llywelyn Williams says losing his leg as a teenager elevated his life.

Surfing played a pivotal role in his recovery and in the years since losing a leg after being hit by a car in 2011.

It had been a passion of the then 16-year-old prior to the accident - and it was not going to stop him despite being severely injured while out skateboarding.

In fact, he recalled coming around from a coma in hospital amid a dream that a surfboard came between him and a bright light "like you see in the movies".

"It wasn't my time," said Williams, from Abersoch, Gwynedd.

A friend asked him what he wanted to do while he lay in his hospital bed; he wanted to get back in the water - and go surfing in Australia.

"The rehab was to drive myself to get back into the ocean," said Williams, known as Sponge by friends.

"As soon as I got back in the ocean, I felt like I was born again.

"When the board and you connect perfect on the wave, it just feels like you're flying."

His mother, Eirian Parry, described the "beautiful moment" his friends carried him into the sea as he continued his recovery following the amputation.

But she still recalled with visible emotion the time she and Williams' father faced up to a "nightmare" - when doctors asked them to sign a consent form to amputate their son's right leg.

David Williams told BBC documentary Our Lives: Beyond the Waves it was the hardest decision of his life "but it was the only way to save" his son's life.

"To think he was nearly dead on the side of the road when the accident happened... to being the world champion," he said.

"Once he got his first wave back, there was no stopping him."

His father can also remember tough times early into his son's recovery, one in which he told him he had to be strong while at a low point, and then took himself off and cried in the room next to his son.

"The way my parents have brought me up is you've just got to get on with it so, yeah, I had one leg and that was it," said Williams.

He won the 2026 Bright Sky Australian Pro Adaptive Surfing Championship as the kneeling champion

He works as a digger driver in the family construction business when not surfing.

"I've learned how to do everything with one leg, except to be able to use a wheelbarrow," said Williams with a wry smile.

"When I turned 18 I wheelchaired my way into the kitchen and said we're heading off to Australia.

"We did a year out there travelling around the coast surfing, living in a camper van.

"To be able to go back there now every year for a competition is just brilliant."

In March, he won the 2026 Bright Sky Australian Pro Adaptive Surfing Championship as the kneeling champion and proudly held the Welsh flag aloft on the beach at Byron Bay, New South Wales.

And he was third in the North Shore Prosthetics Hawaiian Surfing Championships in May.

He self funds participation in surfing competitions and has been thankful for his supporters close to home.

Williams has also been lobbying with others for his sport to be included in a future Paralympics Games.

"Surfing has been a huge part of my recovery and the adaptive surfing community has helped me so much," he said.

"Disability for me has elevated my life - anything is possible if you have any kind of disability."

Tears, joy and disbelief as Jack Coyne prepares to lift the Sam Maguire and end 75 years of Mayo hurt

When the full-time hooter sounded at Croke Park on Sunday, there was a noise to rival any in the historic past of the iconic Dublin stadium.

It was the sound of the end of 75 years of hurt and heartbreak, of near-misses and misplaced hope.

After all that time, Mayo had finally won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship - a fourth in their history, but one three-quarters of a century in the making.

The players sunk to their knees on the hallowed turf, fully aware of what they had just accomplished.

Not only had their dethroned Kerry, the favourites to win consecutive All-Ireland titles and the sport's most decorated team, but they had ended the so-called 'Mayo Curse', which had lingered over the county since 1951.

It was a day of history, a day of ecstasy and, to some degree, a day of relief.

With tears in his eyes, former Mayo defender Padraig O'Hora - working as a pundit for the BBC - said he "can't put it into words".

"Thousands upon thousands of people have dreamed of this day, I can't believe it's here," he said.

"There are people who have waited their whole lives for this day.

"Hats off to the lads on the field, it is their day, but if you have green and red blood it belongs to you, young and old.

"What a moment for Gaelic football, what a moment for sport. It's just something else."

Pride and emotion as Mayo end 75-year wait for glory

Mayo beat Kerry in thriller to end 75-year All-Ireland wait

Cursed? The story of the 72-year-old hex that haunts Mayo

The birth of the curse

Mayo's 2021 final defeat by Tyrone was their 11th since the 1951 final

To understand the significance of Mayo's victory on Sunday, you have to go back to 1951.

In a world still reeling from the effects of the Second World War, Harry S Truman was US president as Cold War tensions started to rise, while Winston Churchill was Prime Minister.

Culturally, Nat King Cole and BB King were some of the biggest music artists, while Alice in Wonderland and A Streetcar Named Desire were on the big screen.

That year, Mayo lifted the Sam Maguire Cup - the iconic trophy presented to the team that wins the All-Ireland SFC - for the third time, but it was the celebrations after that caused a stir.

As is so often the case, the players enjoyed themselves. But on their way home they passed a funeral in the village of Foxford, where a local priest reportedly accused the Mayo team of not showing respect.

Instead of stopping and switching off their engine, as would have been the custom in rural Ireland at the time, the Mayo party continued.

In return, the - legend has it - priest placed a curse on Mayo, saying they would never win another All-Ireland while any of the players on the panel were still alive.

It has never been established if the event actually occurred, but after 11 All-Ireland finals came, went and ended in defeat, the myth of the curse grew.

Just two weeks after their previous final defeat by Tyrone in 2021, Paddy Prendergast, the last player to feature in the 1951 final, passed away aged 95.

Two years later, Dr Mick Loftus - the last surviving squad member - died aged 93, but it would not be until this year that Mayo returned to the biggest stage in Irish sport.

'We don't know how to feel'

It looked like Mayo would be on the end of another defeat when David Clifford - widely considered one of the greatest players of his generation, perhaps even of all time - netted to put Kerry in control in the early stages.

But Mayo dug deep and fought back, and trailed by a single point at half-time.

Things changed five minutes after the restart when Darragh Beirne finished off a flowing move to put Mayo into a lead they would not relinquish.

Kerry, as great champions do, never folded and there was a late scare as the pressure grew, but Mayo were not to be denied in a three-point victory.

The tears and emotion at the final whistle meant everything.

Manager Andy Moran, a former Mayo player and in his first year in charge, went to his wife and family in the stands.

The new generation, such as Beirne and the superb Aussie Rules-bound Kobe McDonald, soaked in every moment on the Croke Park pitch.

There was over 80,000 people in attendance, and for those in green and red, plus the many neutrals in attendance, there was barely a dry eye in the house.

While the so-called 'curse' is one thing, Mayo also wore a special white jersey in a final for the first time since 1951 due to a clash between the green home kit of Kerry. Perhaps it was fate.

"To every man, women, boy and girl in Mayo, wherever you are, dream big things," said captain Jack Coyne, who delivered one of the all-time great speeches before lifting the Sam Maguire.

"Anything is possible and we've shown it today. I'm over the moon."

For McDonald, only 18 and whose father Ciaran featured in All-Ireland final heartbreaks, was able to sum up what it means to win the All-Ireland.

Just finished his end-of-school leaving cert exams, he will move to Australia to join St Kilda in the lucrative Australian Football League.

Given Gaelic football is an amateur sport, it is something he cannot be offered at home but he was determined to make history with 'one chance' written on his wrist before his Australian adventure.

In the All-Ireland, players play for the counties they are born in. That's why it means more.

"It's surreal, we don't know how to feel," McDonald said on the GAA Social.

"To look around and see the people, they have given us so much over the years and to give them something proper to shout about is special."

When asked if he knew what lay ahead in the celebrations, he added: "I don't, but I can't wait to find out.

"We'll soak it in and enjoy it."

Mayo will now head back to Castlebar in their home county to celebrate their historic success with their people.

Given it took 75 years, there is set to be another sea of celebration when they arrive on Ireland's west coast.

Let's just hope they avoid any funerals on the journey home.

The GenAI boom has sparked a sharp increase of data centers across the U.S. While such facilities were already scattered about, most were in unpopulated areas like the open plains of Virginia. As tech firms continue to seek out readily available land and more affordable utility costs, though, these data centers have begun to encroach upon smaller, rural communities, and the residents of those communities are concerned.

A data center serves various digital and AI purposes, and it requires multiple types of resources, including physical space to house servers and components, electricity to power everything, and water to keep it all cool. Compared to land closer to major metropolitan areas, which are both dwindling and becoming more expensive, rural areas tend to have a surplus of the resources a data center needs at attractive prices. It's precisely this reason why the residents in rural areas have become increasingly worried about new data center developments taking up space, creating environmental harm, and driving up the general cost of living in the area.

Land and resources are cheaper in rural areas

While mini data centers can fit in your backyard, most standalone AI data centers sit on massive, sprawling complexes. In addition to the abundance of servers, this size is required to house other necessary components for running generative AI like GPUs as well as all of the electricity to function and water to keep the computers from overheating. This need for such plots of land has led tech companies and developers to look to less-populated areas in states where land is cheaper.

Most of the primo spots for data centers have either already been taken or are so expensive that nobody can stake a claim on them. However, in the digital age, you don't need to be right next to a center of commerce to serve it. Developers have figured out that you can build a data center anywhere in the country so long as there's a steady internet connection, ample power capacity, and available water, so they've been staking claims in rural communities where these resources are still available and affordable.

The presence of a data center drives costs up

Lacy Chenault/Shutterstock

As expected, these rural communities haven't exactly been champing at the bit to invite data centers into their neighborhoods. Prior to the development of a data center, vital resources like power and water are cheap and plentiful, but data centers can consume massive quantities of power, as well as evaporate or foul large quantities of water used for cooling, which both limits residents' access to those resources and substantially drives up their costs. Amazon's data centers alone have consumed over 2.5 billion gallons of water in a year's time.

In addition to resource concerns, the presence of data centers has presented more tangible problems. For one thing, rezoning rural areas for data centers can mean sacrificing viable farmland, which could have a knock-on effect on the size and cost of crops. Additionally, as data centers rely extensively on diesel generators for power, their presence can lead to both a decrease in the quality of local air and an increase in obnoxious noise pollution. Besides being problematic in the short term, concerns have been raised about the potential impact of all of these problems in the long term, both on people and local animal populations, for which there is currently little-to-no concrete data.

Deemerwha studio / Shutterstock.comQuick Read -

Equal weighting reduces concentration: RSP gives every S&P 500 stock the same allocation, reducing technology exposure while increasing weights in sectors such as industrials, financials, and utilities.

The performance advantage hasn't materialized: Over the past 23 years, SPY slightly outperformed RSP while also delivering lower volatility and better risk-adjusted returns.

Higher costs and turnover matter: Equal weighting requires continual rebalancing and charges a higher expense ratio, making it difficult to justify unless reducing concentration risk is your primary objective.

Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.

The top-heavy nature of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) has become one of ETF investor's biggest talking points. With a handful of mega-cap technology companies accounting for an increasingly large share of the index, many investors have started looking for ways to reduce concentration risk without abandoning the S&P 500 altogether. That's helped fuel renewed interest in alternative indexing approaches. Low-volatility ETFs have seen a resurgence, dividend ETFs have regained popularity, and another strategy attracting attention is equal weighting.

The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) does exactly what its name suggests. Rather than allowing the largest companies to dominate the portfolio, every stock in the S&P 500 receives the same allocation of roughly 0.2%, with the portfolio rebalanced quarterly to restore those equal weights. On paper, the idea is compelling. You still own all 500 companies in the S&P 500, but without relying so heavily on a handful of mega-cap stocks to drive returns. There is certainly some truth to that benefit.

Equal weighting comes with trade-offs that often receive less attention. Over more than two decades, those trade-offs have generally resulted in lower returns, higher volatility, and higher costs than simply owning the traditional market-cap-weighted S&P 500.

Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.

What Equal-Weighting the S&P 500 Actually Does

RSP's portfolio looks noticeably different from SPY despite owning the same underlying companies. The biggest differences appear at the sector level. Compared with the traditional S&P 500, RSP is overweight industrials by about 7%, real estate by 4%, utilities by 3.3%, materials by 3%, financials by 2.6%, healthcare by 2%, consumer staples by 1.8%, and energy by 0.4%. It is underweight consumer discretionary by 0.2%, communication services by 6.5%, and information technology by a substantial 18.4%.

Sector allocations are one of the biggest drivers of long-term returns. Although both ETFs own the same companies, their performance can differ meaningfully simply because equal weighting reduces exposure to the technology sector while increasing allocations to more traditional industries. Equal weighting also modestly changes the portfolio's characteristics.

Because the largest companies no longer dominate the index, the average market capitalization falls. According to Invesco, RSP's average holding has a market capitalization of approximately $138 billion compared with roughly $152 billion for SPY. Likewise, RSP trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 21.07 versus 22.43 for SPY, giving it a slight value tilt.

This helps dispel one of the more common misconceptions surrounding equal weighting. While it technically introduces both size and value factor exposures, those tilts are fairly modest because the starting universe is already limited to the largest 500 companies in the United States. Equal weighting doesn't suddenly transform the portfolio into a mid-cap or deep-value strategy.

How Has RSP Performed Versus SPY?

I looked at performance over the 23-year period from April 2003 through July 2026 using Tesfolio data. Over that period, SPY generated an annualized total return of 11.47%, producing a cumulative return of 1,145.58%. RSP trailed slightly, returning 11.25% annually for a cumulative return of 1,089.36%. Perhaps more surprising is what happened to risk.

Many investors assume equal weighting reduces portfolio risk by lowering concentration. In practice, RSP actually experienced higher annualized volatility over the sample period, 19.80% compared with 18.52% for SPY. As a result, its risk-adjusted returns were also weaker, producing a Sharpe ratio of 0.55 versus 0.59 for SPY.

This highlights one of the biggest weaknesses of equal weighting. Unlike market-cap weighting, which naturally increases exposure to companies creating the most value while gradually reducing exposure to declining businesses, equal weighting is fundamentally arbitrary. Every quarterly rebalance requires trimming recent winners and adding to laggards regardless of why those price movements occurred. As Peter Lynch famously put it, you're effectively "trimming the flowers and watering the weeds."

Within an ETF structure, the higher turnover isn't nearly as problematic from a tax perspective thanks to the in-kind creation and redemption process that minimizes capital gains distributions. But the economic logic still deserves scrutiny. Then there are the costs. RSP charges a 0.20% expense ratio, roughly double SPY's fee. That difference may appear small in any single year, but over decades it compounds against investors.

If owning an equal-weight portfolio helps you stay invested because you're uncomfortable with today's concentration in mega-cap technology stocks, that's a perfectly reasonable justification. Behavioral advantages can be valuable. But there are better ways to diversify away from the traditional S&P 500 while remaining fully invested in equities. Equal weighting solves one problem, but in my view it introduces several others. Today, RSP feels more like an interesting historical indexing experiment than the best solution for modern portfolio construction.

“We had a phone call to the studio,” a production staffer told Meghan during filming.

“Hi, my love!” she gushed once she got a hold of her cell and saw Harry's beaming face on the screen.

“G’day.” the Duke of Sussex, 41, quipped on the phone.

“My husband’s here,” Meghan told the audience after she showed them her phone. “What’s going on? Have I interrupted something important?” Harry joked as the crowd cheered on.

“Well, we’re actually in the middle of tasting all the dishes,” Meghan said as she panned over the delicious meals in front of her.

She went on: “I wish you could try this. These dishes are fantastic. It’s really delicious, and there’s a hot sauce that, well, you know me … it is so good. I think it might be too much for you. It’s spicy.”

“It’s amazing,” she said before showing Harry the show’s contestants, Aaron Kher, Casper Kenworthy and Petro Papathomas.

“They’re so talented," the Suits star raved. “We wish you were here,” she cooed, before telling the other judges Harry was in Canberra, Australia, at an event with military veterans.

“Well, go and enjoy it. I’m very sorry to disturb you. All is well here. I’ll see you later,” the Spare author said.

Fans across the World Wide Web raised their eyebrows over the TV moment, and didn't believe Harry actually called by accident. “Absolute cringe," someone wrote on X, while another added the call was “so fake" and "so staged."

"Please stop with the contrived BS. Oh SURE Harry just happened to call a random phone number to talk to the Douchess while he knows she’s filming," another person rolled their eyes.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Undertook a Tour of Australia in April

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped back as senior members of the royal family in 2020.MEGA

Meghan and Harry flew to Australia back in April to undertake several engagements across cities such as Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne.

The former actress filmed her guest judge spot on the cooking competition series while vacationing Down Under at the time.

The "faux" royal tour was apparently a success for the Sussexes, with a source exclusively telling OK! earlier this year: "Meghan has returned from Australia with a renewed sense of certainty about the choices she's made – she genuinely feels the trip was the best thing ever and it has reinforced her belief that stepping away from royal duties was the right decision for her and Harry."

The Invictus Games founder and the As Ever entrepreneur departed from The Firm in 2020 and moved to Montecito, Calif.

"No matter how deluded that is in the face of the massive criticism the trip attracted — in her eyes — the reception they received on the ground is proof that she didn't need the backing of the royal institution to be well received or to make an impact, and that she can succeed on her own terms," the insider added.

Dubbed "the most Wuthering Heights day ever", the event at Clevedon's Marine Lake and Bristol's College Green raises money for the charity SARSAS (Somerset and Avon Rape and Sexual Abuse Support).

The event will take place today, ahead of the singer's birthday on 30 July.

"It's enormous fun learning the dance, it's a real challenge as it's not straightforward, and it's not just for the ladies, we welcome everybody," said organiser Bridget Pairaudeau from Bristol.

The Clevedon event is believed to be the only one where dancers celebrate on land and in the water at the same time.

Last year, the event raised just over £1,000 for SARSAS.

"They were delighted that we danced for them," said Pairaudeau.

Celebrations of the song and mass recreations of the famous dance, which was originally filmed on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, have been taking place since 2013.

They have since spread around the UK and the world.

"Who wouldn't be delighted by it?" said Pairaudeau.

"It's a testament to the power of the song and how much it means to people, and the book.

"What a wonderful artist Kate Bush is, it's such an iconic dance, the video is iconic and I really hope she gets some pleasure out of us prancing about," she added.

The first event in 2025 raised over £1,000 for charity

Jenny Benson from SARSAS said she was "delighted" the organisers were running the dance again.

"Every pound raised will help us continue providing specialist, trauma-informed support to survivors of sexual violence across Avon and Somerset.

"We're incredibly grateful for their support and inspired by their creative fundraising."
