Norwich’s miserable record of losing every home match this season continued as Bristol City came away with a hard-fought 1-0 Championship success.A well-taken goal from Mark Sykes midway through the second half was enough to condemn the Canaries to a sixth successive reverse at Carrow Road to pile more pressure on Liam Manning, the former Robins boss. It was a first win in five for the visitors while the hosts are now looking anxiously over their shoulders after another lacklustre display, although it might have been different but for two excellent saves from Radek Vitek in the second half.An instantly…

A plan to fire live artillery shells over a major Southern California highway as part of a military showcase attended Saturday by Vice President JD Vance drew strong objections from Gov. Gavin Newsom, who said safety concerns forced him to close a portion of the busy interstate.“The President is putting his ego over responsibility with this disregard for public safety,” the Democratic governor said in a statement. “Firing live rounds over a busy highway isn’t just wrong — it’s dangerous.”But U.S. Marine officials said there was nothing unsafe about the exercise at Camp Pendleton, where firing off artillery is a…

In 2011, I walked away from a six-figure law career and retired at age 41. I thought I was prepared financially. But emotionally? Not so much.After decades of working, I was used to the sense of purpose that came with a career, and I assumed I’d have to give that up once I stopped working. My biggest fear took the form of one major uncertainty: What would I do with all that unstructured time?Fast forward 14 years later, and my days are anything but idle. My wife and I now live in Portugal, the No. 1 country Americans want to…

Battered and bruised but unbowed, Hamas forces were back patrolling the streets of Gaza almost immediately after the ceasefire with Israel came into effect. It was both a warning to Israeli-linked gangs and collaborators, as it was a statement about who still governs the war-ravaged Palestinian enclave. US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza envisions a future in which Hamas plays no military or political role. However, analysts argue that the complex realities on the ground – and the absence of a viable political alternative – cast serious doubt on how feasible it is to marginalise Hamas. “Hamas wasn’t defeated,”…

How are we enjoying the “normal seasonal soft patch” so far? The stock market spent the past week chopping around the range left by the sharp drop the prior Friday, while confronting the ghosts of crises past: regional-bank balance-sheet worries , possible re-escalation of China trade hostilities, a crypto flash correction and a reversal in the most speculative and fundamentally flimsy stocks. The S & P 500 managed a 1.7% weekly gain, almost all of it coming from Monday’s reflex rebound, carving out what now amounts to a five-week trading range bounded by the all-time high above 6,750 and the…

The longer you wait to give your child a smartphone or allow them to join social media, the happier and more successful they’re likely to be as adults, says psychologist Jean Twenge.To help parents facilitate that technological delay, Twenge recommends starting to teach kids how to use those technologies in safe and healthy ways at least six years in advance. Starting early helps prepare children to have healthier relationships with online technologies, aiding their development into well-adjusted, successful adults, she says.”Ideally, it’s great to have these rules in mind by the time your kids are in late elementary school, say,…
