Britain's historic “Brexit” referendum Thursday ended with a mostly unexpected result as the United Kingdom voted to sever ties with the European Union after 43 years locked in an unhappy marriage. The decision to depart the 28-member bloc sets the stage for messy and prolonged divorce proceedings between that will play out on the world stage over several years.

If you were told that there was one exercise that would not only help you prepare to conquer Everest but also set you on track for a six-pack, you'd likely scoff. Well, retract that scoff, here's the mountain climber.
Taking inspiration from Edmund Hillary and co, the mountain climber is a challenge for the entire body, especially if you do it fast enough to act as a cardio workout, and it's particularly hard on the core and legs.
Admittedly, even if it becomes a regular part of your workout regime you probably won't either climb Everest or get a six-pack overnight, but it's a fine first step. And we're very big on first steps here at Coach.
The basic movement works out all manner of core muscles, but to get the fat-burning benefits it needs to be done at pace. Shoot for as many mountain climbers as you can in a minute, each leg movement counts as one rep, while keeping perfect form of course. Coach's one-minute score? 62.
Even if you can't maintain a rapid pace with your mountain climbers, the motion alone will target core muscles. Your legs also take a bit of a pasting, while supporting your upper body ensures that your arms don't get off scot-free either. Done at pace to gain the cardio benefits, the mountain climber really is a full-body exercise.
The mountain climber is an easy exercise to build into a circuit routine, and can be varied in any number of ways. If it's too tough at first, you can rest your arms on an elevated object, so your legs take more of your bodyweight.
Then if you want to make it harder, you can support your arms on an exercise ball to reduce your stability and work the core more.
You can also throw in a twist by moving your leg forward to the opposite side of your chest each time. Fun, right?

Until now, a convoluted set of rules made it difficult to do business with help from a drone. For example, a realtor who wanted to use a drone to grab aerial footage of a listing or a farmer who wanted to turn to a remote-controlled aircraft to monitor crops needed to go through a lengthy permitting process and get special permission to use their unmanned aircraft.
But, on Tuesday the Fe...

It has been 10 years since Pete Berg's pilot for Friday Night Lights first hit the air, and five years since its final bow, but like the ups and downs of the small-town football team, the show perseveres in the hearts and minds of a huge fan base. The same goes with the bond between the actors. Though they have stayed in touch over text and email, for the first time since filming...

Who likes short shorts? Mercifully, we're not that keen, so you'll find no upper-thigh hugging models – mid-thigh, tops – in our roundup of the best summer shorts for men.
There are a number of good options if the occasion calls for a smart casual pair of shorts – perhaps work drinks with your boss on a yacht (we're sure this must be a scenario for some people). Opt for the chino variety from Sunspel and Jigsaw, or the muted print from Garbstore.
Speaking of, statement-making prints are on trend this summer and while we don't recommend matching your top and bottom with the same print (like some), pairing a print on one half with a block colour on the other is an easy way to make an impression. Consider Scotch and Soda's repeating pair-of-cherries pattern if you're looking to make a suggestive impression, while Kestin Hare's line for M&S tones it down with a leaf print in somber greens. But for our money, APC best manages to be eye-catching without venturing into eye-watering territory.
