Speaking at the 4th season of Krishnapatnam Port Golden Eagles Golf Championship in Bengaluru, Lara, who ended his career as the then-highest run-getter in Test cricket, only to be eclipsed by Sachin Tendulkar, insisted on the need to appreciate the careers of each player, calling Kohli’s current run of form ‘phenomenal’. “If you talk about Sachin and me - you read about it and you hear about it the comparisons, and it is not a significant thing”, Lara said....

According to the National Eating Disorder Association, a study conducted by Eric Stice and Cara Bohon found between 0.9 and 2.0 percent of women will develop anorexia in their lifetime. By contrast, 0.1 to 0.3 percent of men will develop the same eating disorder. The stark difference in the data may stem from the fact women feel more pressure in society to be thin. Research by the Cleveland Clinic’s Department of Psychiatry and Psychology concluded that women in the U....

Many of Marla’s actions seem like the fevered imaginings of a Hollywood screenwriter trying to write a truly despicable villain, as she forces vulnerable old people under her conservatorship and then steals from them. Marla’s business, however, has some parallels with some real-life stories of elder abuse. As director J. Blakeson explained in an interview with Netflix, “It started when I saw news stories about real-life predatory guardians who game the system and exploit their wards....

Having seen two old adversaries cancel each other out on Merseyside, Klopp was quick to question the approach of the visitors. 16/5 for Arsenal and Watford to draw He told Sky Sports on a United side that he believes offered little attacking intent: “For sure you could not play this way at Liverpool, but it’s OK for Manchester United.” Mourinho wasted no time in biting back at his coaching rival, with the Portuguese insisting that he played to win and that containing tactics from the hosts contributed to an uninspiring contest....

Growing up homeless with a mentally-ill mother and two siblings was brutal. We slept in public spaces, shelters and churches that took us in. These stays were too infrequent, and we always ended up homeless again. We bathed in fast-food restaurant bathrooms, to the annoyance of the staff and patrons who tried in vain to shoo us away. I felt that New York City, at once the home of Wall Street and thousands of homeless families like mine, was indifferent to our suffering and wanderings....

No, I’m not being dramatic. In the words of caffeine-loving TV mom Lorelai Gilmore: “I stop drinking coffee, I stop doing the standing and the walking and the words-putting-into-sentences doing.” As a journalist, the latter part is kind of important, otherwise, I’d need to add “stop paying the bills” to that list. I’m writing this introduction day three into my caffeine-free journey, and as you may have guessed, it is not going well....

“I decided that Abhinav would be a shooter on the day he was born. Abhinav was born in the year 2008, the year when Abhinav Bindra won the gold at the Beijing Olympics.

Smith freshly resumed the second day along with Usman Khawaja. Despite bad lights and dark clouds halting an early stop, Smith was self-assured in his game. He hit 11 fours and a couple of sixes against spin bowlers Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj. He fiercely pulled off Anrich Nortje for a boundary to complete his 30th Test hundred in the 109th over. Smith went past Sir Donald Bradman’s record of 29th Test century and is only behind Steve Waugh (32) and Ricky Ponting (41) in the most Test hundreds scored by an Australian batter....

The talk surrounding New Year’s resolutions is filled with anti-fat bias. When I log into social media, I am bombarded with coaches running weight loss contests. My Instagram feed is filled with “before"s and “after"s. So much health and fitness marketing hinges upon the notion that an improved person is a smaller person. This marketing bothers me so much that I have personally edited it out of my life by filtering my advertisement preferences on social media—something I recommend to anyone who feels triggered by the diet ads that bombard us at the beginning of the year....

Block lost his life on Monday in a snowmobile accident. What was ironic was that it was on the same day as Schumacher’s birthday. Almost nine years ago, Schumacher was also involved in an accident while skiing in the snow. The German hit his head on a rock and suffered severe injuries. Almost a decade later, there’s still no clarity on the medical condition of the German legend, as the family has decided to keep that private....

It has been a rollercoaster. I started my own jewelry business, Jessica Flinn Fine Jewellery, straight after college in 2010, but I was really naive. I was making everything by hand and taking my wares to trade shows and stores. I did really well, was selling in 80 stores across the U.K. and I had a contract with a big retailer. But this was only a year or two after the Great Recession, so a lot of stores started closing....

Around 7.30am on March 5, I woke up to some mild contractions and suggested to my husband Tony that he took the day off work—I felt certain the baby was arriving soon. As he took our eldest son, Oliver, who was three-years-old at the time, to nursery, I gave our midwife a call. She asked me how I was feeling and I explained that I was having contractions every three to five minutes....
