NASA has told how it has spent the last month preparing for an asteroid impact.The confession was made during the Planetary Defense Interagency Tabletop Exercise – which is the fourth gathering of several space experts in recent years.Although it was not clear whether or not the organisation is actually worried about an impending impact.Lindley Johnson, planetary defense officer at NASA Headquarters, said: “While NASA has previously led and participated in simulated asteroid impact scenarios, this specific exercise marked the first time an end-to-end simulation of this type of disaster was studied, to include assessing a scenario from discovery of the asteroid impact threat through the aftermath effects of its hypothetical impact with Earth.“An asteroid impact to our planet is potentially the only natural disaster humanity is capable of accurately predicting and preventing.“Conducting exercises of this nature enable government stakeholders to identify and resolve potential issues before real-world actions to respond to an actual asteroid impact threat would ever be needed.”While there are no predicted asteroid impact threats to our planet for the foreseeable future, this exercise - hosted by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland - focused extensively on United States federal and state government coordination that would be necessary to respond to such a threat should one ever be discovered.Over the course of two days, multiple government agency officials worked through a detailed hypothetical scenario in which astronomers “discover” a simulated asteroid, designated 2022 TTX, that has a probability of impacting the Earth six months after its discovery.As more information was revealed to exercise

Playboy Mansion with Hugh Hefner has revealed that Playmates living at the property never talked about the tycoon’s penis.Tasha Reign has had an illustrious career as an adult performer, filming her first adult movie at the age of 21, as well as modelling.One of her biggest dreams was to feature in Playboy magazine.And although she never became one of Hefner’s official girlfriends, Tasha spent a lot of time at his mansion.Recently interviewed by ex-porn star Alexis Texas on her Private Talks podcast, the model shared her experiences of being close to the titan of the adult industry.Tasha was asked by Alexis whether she had ever slept with Hefner, and replied: “I never saw his d***, but he liked that kind of control.” Alexis asked: “Did anybody in the house talk about it? Was it big, was it small?” “Nobody talked about it because I think there was a shame in the fact that whoever was having sex with him was having sex with him, that was like a shame thing. “So they weren’t like, ‘oh his c**k’s like this’, they were like, ‘I never hooked up with him’.”In fact, working with Playboy during Hefner’s later years, Tasha admitted that the Hef she knew was very different to the iconic entrepreneurial figurehead that he had been described as.“He was literally decrepit – not in a mean way – he was ageing and he wasn’t doing well, it was hard for him to even be mobile," she remembered.

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has warned there is much more work to do to kick racism out of football.The League launched its 'No Room For Racism Action Plan' 12 months ago in a bid to stamp out discrimination in the game.'No Room For Racism' messaging will be visible at all top flight matches taking place from March 12 to 20 - as clubs continue to urge fans to challenge and report discriminatory behaviour wherever they see it.Developments as part of the action plan have included new programmes to enhance coaching career opportunities, a focus on improving diversity of the workforce and the League’s continued efforts to tackle discriminatory abuse online and at matches.Tackling online abuse remains a priority for the Premier League, which operates an online abuse reporting system that sees a specialist team investigate each incident reported - with legal action taken where appropriate.But despite the progress being made, Masters knows there is still a long way to go.He said: "The No Room For Racism Action Plan provides a clear focus for our work as we continue our commitment to tackling discrimination and promoting equality."While we are pleased with the progress we are making across football, we know that significant change takes time and there is still much more we need to do to ensure equality is fully embedded across all areas of the game.Has football done enough to combat racism? Let us know in the comments."We will continue to work with our clubs and football partners as we collectively seek to make significant change and ensure football is a welcoming and inclusive environment for all."Darren Moore, chair of the League's Black Participants' Advisory Group, added: "It's hugely important that we
