Terry Pratchett’s legacy lives on with Good Omens – here’s how

Terry Pratchett’s legacy lives on with Good Omens – here’s how

Published by Daniella Wilson

This feature was first published in 2023. One night in a hotel room in Seattle in the early 1990s, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, who co-wrote the novel Good Omens, made a plan for how they would bring their beloved tale to TV. Almost three decades later and, tragically, four years after Pratchett’s death, season 1 of the TV adaptation starring David Tennant as demon Crowley and Michael Sheen as angel Aziraphale, premiered on Prime Video to widespread acclaim. Fans pored over every scene and quickly noticed the many references and homages to Pratchett – from his hat and scarf taking pride of place in Aziraphale’s bookshop to how his wishes were honoured in the scripts. Now, the show is about to end with a 90-minute finale, it’s clear it’s a lasting homage to the legendary author. After Pratchett’s death, his wishes have lived on, as he has a representative in Rob Wilkins who worked first as the author’s personal assistant and later as his business manager. Nowadays, Wilkins has the title of Pratchett’s “representative …

Heat Waive Terry Rozier, the Last Official Act of a Season Derailed by Federal Gambling Charges

Published by Sam Flores

MIAMI (AP) — Terry Rozier, who is facing federal charges related to a gambling operation, was waived by the Miami Heat on Friday in an expected and procedural move that allows the team to sign another player to its roster before the postseason. Rozier was with the Heat for one game this season — the opener at Orlando on Oct. 22, a contest in which he did not play. He was arrested by federal officials at the team hotel the following morning on charges that he offered information to help people win bets on his stat totals in a 2023 game when was with the Charlotte Hornets. Miami has until Sunday to sign another player. It’ll open play in the play-in tournament either Tuesday or Wednesday. Rozier was placed on leave by the NBA shortly after his arrest. He has collected his $26.6 million salary this season; the Heat were first paying it into an interest-bearing account, and an arbitrator later ruled that Rozier should be getting the money despite his legal issues. The Heat …

Estee Lauder, Armani & By Terry Reformulated Foundations Tested

Published by Daniella Wilson

 Beauty’s biggest blockbusters are getting a 2026 upgrade but are you ready to embrace the change? Nothing strikes fear into the heart of a self-respecting beauty devotee quite like the word ‘discontinued’ unless, of course, we’re talking about ‘reformulated’. And no, that’s not over-dramatic. There’s bone fide psychology at play. Humans feel losses more strongly than equivalent gains – a phenomenon known as loss aversion. In other words, losing a beloved lipstick hurts more than the thrill of discovering a new one. It hits harder in beauty because our products are woven into daily ritual. Reformulations can feel even more unsettling than discontinuations, even if the new version is objectively better because of the perceived loss of a familiar formula, coupled with expectation violation (it has the same name but it’s not quite the same product). So what happens when beauty’s most beloved superstars get a glow-up nobody asked for? Spoiler: we think you’re going to like the results.  All change!    2026 may be the year of the Fire Horse, but transformative energy is …

Terry Pratchett’s novels held clues to his dementia a decade before diagnosis, new study suggests

Terry Pratchett’s novels held clues to his dementia a decade before diagnosis, new study suggests

Published by José Betancourt

The earliest signs of dementia are rarely dramatic. They do not arrive as forgotten names or misplaced keys, but as changes so subtle they are almost impossible to notice: a slightly narrower vocabulary, less variation in description, a gentle flattening of language. New research my colleagues and I conducted suggests that these changes may be detectable years before a formal diagnosis — and one of the clearest examples may lie hidden in the novels of Sir Terry Pratchett. Pratchett is remembered as one of Britain’s most imaginative writers, the creator of the Discworld series and a master of satire whose work combined humour with sharp moral insight. Following his diagnosis of posterior cortical atrophy, a rare form of Alzheimer’s disease, he became a powerful advocate for dementia research and awareness. Less well known is that the early effects of the disease may already have been present in his writing long before he knew he was ill. Dementia is often described as a condition of memory loss, but this is only part of the story. In …

Arbitrator orders NBA to pay Terry Rozier salary after unpaid leave ruling

Arbitrator orders NBA to pay Terry Rozier salary after unpaid leave ruling

Published by skeptic

After months of uncertainty, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier is officially getting his money. An arbitrator ruled Monday (February 2) that the NBA has to pay Rozier his salary, reversing the league’s decision to place him on unpaid leave after his arrest last year in a federal gambling investigation. “Terry won today under principles of contract law and the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the league and the players, but the bigger principle at issue is the presumption of innocence,” Rozier’s attorney, Jim Trusty, told Front Office Sports. “Today’s arbitration ruling reminds the NBA that they can’t ignore that important concept just because it’s a high-profile case.” Rozier is facing federal charges for what federal prosecutors say was his role in an alleged illegal NBA gambling scheme. Rozier was arrested and charged in October and has pleaded not guilty.

Trouble-hit Arthur Terry Learning Partnership could receive a further £1 million in emergency funding Trouble-hit Arthur Terry Learning Partnership could receive a further £1 million in emergency funding A trouble-hit academy trust has admitted it did not conduct internal financial checks as its deficit swelled to more than £8 million and it received another government loan to keep it afloat.  Accounts for the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership show the 24-school MAT could also receive a further £1 million in emergency funding.  Schools Week previously revealed how Arthur Terry had racked up seven-figure losses after purchasing iPads as part of an initiative to provide 11,000 devices for all pupils and staff.  The news comes after another major trust pulled itself out of six-figure deficit and into a surplus of more than £1 million.  Deficit grows In 2024, Arthur Terry was issued with a notice to improve by the DfE on financial grounds after being offered a £1.5 million government loan and posting an almost £4 million deficit.  But 2024-25 accounts, published this week, show it received more …

Terry Yorath, Wales football legend and Gabby Logan’s father, dies aged 75

Published by Daniella Wilson

Wales football legend Terry Yorath, the father of Match of the Day presenter Gabby Logan, has died, aged 75. Logan left Wednesday (7th January)’s recording of MOTD, with co-host Mark Chapman stepping in, due to a family emergency. Yorath played 59 times for his country, captaining them on 42 occasions, and would later spend five years at the helm as manager, narrowly missing out on qualification for the 1994 World Cup. During a playing career that spanned two decades, the midfielder enjoyed spells at Coventry City, Tottenham, Vancouver Whitecaps and Bradford City, before retiring at Swansea City – but it was at Leeds United where he made his name. The Welshman came through as an apprentice at the Yorkshire club and spent nine years there as a player – winning the First Division in 1974 and reaching the finals of the FA Cup, European Cup and Cup Winners’ Cup.
