Arctic Sea Ice Near Historic Low; Antarctic Ice Continues Decline
Tue, 24 Sep 2024 17:02:33 +0000
Arctic sea ice retreated to near-historic lows in the Northern Hemisphere this summer, likely melting to its minimum extent for the year on Sept.11, 2024, according to researchers at NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). The decline continues the decades-long trend of shrinking and thinning ice cover in the Arctic Ocean. […]

Football Daily | Manchester United and a bright red vision of the future lacking in detail

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!
The 1995-96 season was a significant moment for football in Manchester. United won the Double as their hapless neighbours, City, were relegated in fittingly farcical circumstances. Off the field (or adjacent to it, at least), United were gold-plating their dominance with the completion of a new North Stand that made Old Trafford the biggest club stadium in England. And in what must have felt like a footnote at the time, Manchester was awarded the 2002 Commonwealth Games, with a bid based around a new, purpose-built stadium on a brownfield site. Fast-forward three decades, and the Etihad is now home to English football’s dominant force, an all-conquering team who play in sky blue. It’s been a journey that would take some explaining to a tracksuited, gum-chewing Alex Ferguson if you were to time-travel back to the mid-90s in search of affordable Oasis tickets. Old Trafford’s North Stand is now the Sir Alex Ferguson stand, but not much else has changed at United’s once-palatial home since their glory days. The last major upgrade works were in 2006 and the stadium has entered a post-industrial decline that dovetails with the team’s waning fortunes. One architect looking into United’s proposed regeneration plans had this to say about the former Theatre of Dreams: “Wiring, electrical installation ... everything is approaching the end of its useful life.”
Noble Francis’s exposition on playing out from the back (yesterday’s Football Daily letters) reminded me that it can also be done from set-pieces … although no one seemed to have explained to Hibs’ Nectarios Triantis, back in March, how it should be done. Quickly including two of his teammates in this manoeuvre wasn’t – we assume – quite what was intended” – Ken Muir.
The photo of the waterlogged pitch in yesterday’s Memory Lane (full email edition) brought to mind the iconic ‘Splash’ photo of Tom Finney (and a very well-hidden Wally Bellett) at Stamford Bridge in 1965. It was considered so defining an image that the statue of Sir Tom outside Deepdale is based on the same picture. Beloved as he is, I’m not sure we’ll be seeing a bronze immortalisation of an aquaplaning Nobby Solano outside St James’s any time soon” – Mike Slattery.

A cycling, walking and running break in France’s best area for trails
Tue, 24 Sep 2024 06:00:30 GMT
Bagnoles de l’Orne in Normandy is a traditional spa town reinventing itself with new hiking and cycling routes – and a focus on sustainable tourism
Kévin Raimond was teaching me how to walk. I thought I already knew, but this tall, bearded, laid-back Frenchman had fresh wisdom to impart. “Inhale for three steps, hold your breath for one,” he said, hands pressed to his inflating belly. “Then exhale for three steps and hold for one. And repeat.”
Afghan walking is a technique used by nomads in Afghanistan. It is supposed to reduce stress, improve circulation and increase stamina, enabling them to cover vast distances with minimal effort. As Kévin and I were exploring the Andaines Forest, in south-west Normandy – part of what has become the largest waymarked area in France – I thought some stamina might prove useful.

Israel’s Pager Attacks and Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
2024-09-24T11:05:34Z
Israel’s brazen attacks on Hezbollah last week, in which hundreds of pagers and two-way radios exploded and killed at least 37 people, graphically illustrated a threat that cybersecurity experts have been warning about for years: Our international supply chains for computerized equipment leave us vulnerable. And we have no good means to defend ourselves.
Though the deadly operations were stunning, none of the elements used to carry them out were particularly new. The tactics employed by Israel, which has neither confirmed nor denied any role, to hijack an international supply chain and embed plastic explosives in Hezbollah devices have been used for years. What’s new is that Israel put them together in such a devastating and extravagantly public fashion, bringing into stark relief what the future of great power competition will look like—in peacetime, wartime and the ever expanding ...

The Fall review – startling imagery abounds in Tarsem Singh’s cult Gilliamesque epic
Tue, 24 Sep 2024 14:00:28 GMT
Fantastical storytelling underpins Tarsem’s 2006 film, in which an injured stuntman relates an elaborate fable to a young girl
Tarsem Singh’s indulgent epic, produced by Spike Jonze and David Fincher, was little seen on its original release in 2006, and now gets a rerelease in a 4K restoration on the Mubi streaming platform. It’s certainly worth noticing, with its Gilliamesque surrealism, and its setting in Rajasthan, north-western India, offers wonderful landscapes. Its beguiling set pieces feature Justine Waddell playing some deadpan comedy as a gloriously costumed princess – although I have to admit that in general the film’s rather placid, stately, fantasy style can be exasperatingly inert.
The scene is Los Angeles in the early years of silent pictures; Lee Pace plays Roy, a stuntman who is now seriously, perhaps permanently, injured. He is laid up in hospital and deeply depressed after a dangerous fall filming a movie whose lead actress was once his girlfriend, but has now left him for the vapid male star. Roy is befriended by a little Romanian girl from the neighbouring children’s ward; this is Alexandria (played by Catinca Untaru, whose English dialogue is sometimes a little indistinct). Kindly, Roy offers to tell the wide-eyed Alexandria an epic story of adventure featuring five heroes battling a hateful governor, and the story comes to life before our eyes with Roy and Alexandria appearing in it and some whimsical muddling up of Indians and Native Americans.

Many believe Dissanayake’s election marks a significant political pivot for Sri Lanka, which has been ruled by a rotation of the same few parties and families for decades, leading to a continuing economic recession and deep-rooted mistrust of traditional political leaders.

‘I definitely got a little loopy’: the writer who spent a week underground studying sleep
Tue, 24 Sep 2024 16:00:31 GMT
Lynne Peeples on the ways modern life interferes with our circadian rhythms – and what we can do to sleep better
Sleep deficiency tugs at our personal happiness, costs the US economy $45bn a year and takes an enormous toll on our health. For her extensively researched book, The Inner Clock, the environmental science writer Lynne Peeples spoke with some 240 scientists, chronobiologists, athletes, astronauts and “chrono-coaches” (yes, that’s a thing) and even embedded in a windowless underground Arkansas bunker in order to experience body-clock disruption first-hand.
For anyone who suffers from sleep issues, gets thrown off by daylight saving time or has a variable work schedule, Peeples’ insights come as a bracing slap in the face. Not getting the rest we need can impair our physical and mental health – sometimes to drastic degrees.
