Extended Indian Summer brings Messi back to the summit again

Extended Indian Summer brings Messi back to the summit again

Published by Sam Flores

NEW YORK, July 18 : When Argentina lost the 2016 Copa America final at MetLife Stadium, a heartbroken Lionel Messi tearfully announced his retirement from international football with the words “I’ve done all I can”.  At 29, he was one of the world’s most decorated players at individual and club level but, after losses in three Copa America title deciders and the 2014 World Cup final, he looked destined never to take home a big international prize. He was, of course, cajoled back into the Argentina shirt by an adoring nation and on Sunday will take the field at that same stadium, rebranded New York-New Jersey Stadium for this tournament, to play for a second successive World Cup winners’ medal.  The arguments over who is the greatest footballer of all time will rage on until the end of days, but you would have to go back to Diego Maradona or Pele to find a player with a similar individual influence on World Cup success.  While Sunday’s opponents Spain are a team built solidly on the …

The Rookie season 8 episode to get special extended cut release for streaming

The Rookie season 8 episode to get special extended cut release for streaming

Published by Daniella Wilson

Fans of The Rookie may be patiently waiting for new season 9 episodes but we now have some good news on the horizon to keep them satiated in the interim. Deadline reports that an extended cut of The Rookie season 8 episode 10 will be released on Hulu. The episode, which is entitled His Name Was Martin, will be made available to stream on Hulu’s Extras section on The Rookie’s landing page and will contain an extra 5 and a half minutes of footage. The episode itself was a gripping one and almost took a leaf out of a post-apocalyptic drama as patients at Westview Psychiatric were exposed to chemicals that made them zombie-like. The workers were all exposed to the chemicals and acted aggressively, with one worker Martin cornering and attacking Lucy (Melissa O’Neil). Separated from Celina (Lisseth Chavez), Lucy was forced to kill Martin in self-defence and we later see how the events of the episode really impact her. Deric Augustine as Miles Penn, Nathan Fillion as John Nolan, Melissa O’Neil as Lucy …

Ten fathers took extended leave to care for their babies – how their family life changed

Ten fathers took extended leave to care for their babies – how their family life changed

Published by skeptic

The UK government launched a major review of parental leave in July 2025, with recommendations expected in early 2027. One question sits at the heart of the review: what difference does parental leave make to family life? Our new research suggests the effects can last for years. Fathers who spend time as their child’s primary caregiver become more involved parents, develop a deeper understanding of care, and can help create more equal career opportunities within families. Over five years, we followed ten couples where the father took a period of parental leave and became the child’s primary caregiver while the mother returned to work. The men took Shared Parental Leave (SPL), a UK scheme that allows mothers (or primary adopters) to reduce their maternity leave entitlement so that a partner can take the remaining leave. The scheme has faced sustained criticism because of its complexity, restrictive eligibility criteria and low statutory pay. Take up of SPL is estimated at just 5% of eligible fathers – 2% of all working fathers. It is widely agreed to …

Our fertility window could be extended by making ovaries softer

Our fertility window could be extended by making ovaries softer

Published by skeptic

Light micrograph of a section through follicles, which house immature eggs, in an ovary. The immature eggs (orange) are surrounded by fluid-filled cavities (light pink) and granulosa cells (dark pink), which provide them with nutrients and hormones STEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Our fertility window could be extended by making the ovaries less stiff. A drug that softens the organ more than doubled the conception rate of older rats with declining fertility and increased their litter size fivefold. It needs to be tested on women, but the results have raised hopes that the intervention could help them conceive at an older age. Women’s fertility tends to start declining in their mid-thirties. However, in countries like England and Wales, many are choosing to have children later in life. The number and quality of a woman’s immature eggs, one of which matures and is released during ovulation, decline with age. There is also evidence that ovaries become stiffer over time, which may further affect egg development and quality. To understand what’s driving this, Shixuan Wang at Huazhong University …

Greta Gerwig’s Narnia release date pushed back – with extended cinema run

Published by Daniella Wilson

Ever since Greta Gerwig turned Barbie into an Oscar-nominated, box office sensation, film fans have been desperate to see her next project – but it looks like we’re going to have to wait a little while longer for her upcoming Narnia film. Netflix has confirmed that Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew – which the streamer is calling “an epic adventure” – will now be released in cinemas around the world on 12 February 2027, before arriving on streaming on 2 April. That’s a fair bit later than the original release date, with the previous plan having been a theatrical opening on Thanksgiving this November ahead of a Netflix debut on Christmas Day.

Displaced Lebanese remain skeptical despite extended truce

Displaced Lebanese remain skeptical despite extended truce

Published by Sam Flores

In the coastal city of Sidon, displaced families sheltering from months of conflict express little relief at the extension of a fragile truce between Lebanon and Israel. While Donald Trump voiced optimism about a path toward peace, many civilians – uprooted by fighting involving Hezbollah – say ongoing strikes, uncertainty, and deep mistrust prevent them from returning home or believing in lasting stability.
