[ad_1] The first summer on record that melts practically all of the Arctic’s floating sea ice could occur as early as the 2030s, according to a new scientific study — about a decade sooner than researchers previously predicted. The peer-reviewed findings, published Tuesday, also show that this milestone of climate change could materialize even if nations manage to curb greenhouse gas emissions more decisively than they are currently doing. Earlier projections had found that stronger action to slow global warming might be enough to preserve the summer ice. The latest research suggests that, where Arctic sea ice is concerned, only steep, sharp emissions cuts might be able to reverse the effects of the warming already underway. “We are very quickly about to lose the Arctic summer sea-ice cover, basically independent of what we are doing,” said Dirk Notz, a climate scientist at the University of Hamburg in Germany and one of the new study’s five authors. “We’ve been waiting too long

[ad_1] KARACHI: Hollywood bombshell Marilyn Monroe was neither the Queen’s subject nor a natural-born Englishwoman who could enjoy perks under Her Majesty. As a traveller who came over from the US to work in her first Trans-Atlantic feature film The Prince and the Showgirl , but ended up ruining the lives of her co-star and director Sir Laurence Olivier and damaging her own marital and mental life in the process. If you are thinking that The Seven Year Itch actress had an affair with her co-star, then you are on the wrong track because according to this book, it was the cruel British tabloids, newspapers, and paparazzi that played the role of a villain here and kept making the guests uncomfortable, long before they did the same to their very own Princess of Wales, Diana. It was because of them that Monroe was a shadow of herself and even though she made friends during her stay in England, the list of foes was far greater. According to this well-researched book, it was July

Reese said the rise in popularity for the league was not just because of one person, it was because of her and so many other great players before her. The former LSU standout said she would be happy to embrace the villain role if that is what it takes to help maintain that popularity.

[ad_1] The state of Alabama announced it is ready to resume executions after lethal injections were paused for three months so the state could investigate its death penalty procedures following a string of botched attempts. In a letter to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall on Friday, Gov. Kay Ivey said it is "time to resume our duty of carrying out lawful death sentences" following a "top-to-bottom review" conducted by the Alabama Department of Corrections. ADOC Commissioner John Hamm informed Ivey of the review's completion on Friday. A detailed report on the review's findings was not immediately available, but in a letter to the governor, Hamm said the investigation increased medical personnel available during executions, the ordering of new equipment and multiple rehearsals of the execution process. The letter did not elaborate on what duties those workers will perform or what additional equipment was ordered, but Hamm did say the vetting proce

[ad_1] MILAN: Getting Inter Milan to Saturday's Champions League final is the latest achievement in Simone Inzaghi's understated managerial career which has highlighted his ability to perform against the odds. Inzaghi, 47, spent his playing career firmly in the shadow of his older brother Filippo, a prolific goalscorer for Italy's biggest clubs, a two-time European champion and World Cup winner. The younger Inzaghi, also a striker, played most of his career for Lazio, where he is loved by fans despite a modest goal record and a single league title won 23 years ago. However in the managerial game it is Simone who is leading the way, at the helm of one of Europe's traditional powerhouses while Filippo slogs about in the lower leagues. And now he has a chances of winning the biggest honour the club game has to offer, just as his brother did as a player in 2003 and 2007 with Inter's local rivals AC Milan. "It's my most important ever match, but I

[ad_1] VENICE: A strike by Hollywood actors kept most stars away from this year's Venice Film Festival, and even the few A-listers who did venture into town seemed guilty about being on the red carpet rather than the picket line. On the last full day of the competition on Friday, Oscar winner Jessica Chastain told reporters she was "incredibly nervous" to come to Venice to promote her independent movie Memory , even though she had a waiver from unions to attend. "Some people on my team advised me against it," Chastain said, adding that she had decided to come to give vocal support for the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA). Actors went on strike in July, joining writers who had walked off the job in May, to demand that streaming sites and film studios improve their contracts and impose curbs on the use of artificial intelligence. "I am here because SAG-AFTRA has been explicitly clear that
