London: Princess of Wales Kate Middleton is likely to address speculations over her health at an event after she returns to public engagements, according to a report by The Sunday Times. Kate was absent from public duties as she reportedly underwent abdominal surgery at the London Clinic on January 16, but details of her exact conditions have been kept under wraps. While Kate was hospitalised, speculations swelled over her health conditions. Some reports cited Kate has not even been seen in public ever since she was admitted — prompting social media platforms to use “mysterious” and “vanished” words to feed their endless theories regarding Middleton’s whereabouts. Her husband Prince William had also cut short her duties following her hospitalisation. Sources…

Dropkick Murphys, with Pennywise and The Scratch, at MGM Music Hall at Fenway, Friday, March 15 The boys are back. There are some artists whose work is so entwined with their roots, their music is not only a reflection of where they are from, but, in time, imprinted into the very DNA of their hometowns: Bruce Springsteen and New Jersey. The Beatles and Liverpool. And even with Boston’s trove of legendary bands who have at some point called this place home, none have carried this city — with its storied and gritty culture and tough-as-nails attitude — more…

LONDON (AP) – The news of King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis has refocused attention on the responsibilities of Britain’s monarch and revived a central question about the country’s centuries-old system of government: What does the king actually do? Under Britain´s constitutional monarchy, the king is head of state but must remain politically neutral and leave policy-making to the elected Parliament. He is obliged to follow the government’s advice and not act on his own opinions. But even in his largely ceremonial job, Charles performs a number of duties integral to the running of the U.K. His most visible role is at the annual State Opening of Parliament, where the monarch sets out the government’s agenda in a formal address.

U.K. media royal correspondent Neil Sean discusses King Charles’ cancer diagnosis as Prince Harry heads to the U.K. without his wife Meghan Markle. Meghan Markle said this week she was “proud” to announce she has signed a new deal with Lemonada Media to continue her “love of podcasting.” The “creative partnership” with Lemonada comes less than a year after she and Spotify “mutually” agreed to part ways following just 12 episodes of her “Archetypes” podcast. In 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed multi-year deal with Spotify worth about $20 million, which produced the podcast in which the 42-year-old invited guests to “investigate, dissect and subvert the labels that try to hold women back.” Despite topping Joe Rogan on…

BANGKOK (AP) — Asian shares powered higher on Thursday, with Chinese benchmarks up more than 1%, after Wall Street logged modest gains in this holiday-shortened week.

BOJ policymakers are waiting to see what sort of wage gains might come in 2024 as part of the central bank’s strategy of keeping credit easy to try to spur stronger growth. In Hong Kong, the Hang…

“Staff of Laurel, Staff of Ash: Sacred Landscapes in Ancient Nature Myth” by Wooster mythologist and classicist Dianna Rhyan is a rich collection of reflections about the natural world. Rhyan’s lyrical writing brings together her observations of nature, particularly in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, with fascinating concepts of folklore. In addition to Greek and Roman mythology, Rhyan reaches back some 4,000 years to her prime resource, the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, which she summarizes in the chapter “Expedition to the Cedar Forest.” In a lament to deforestation, an ancient text calls it “profanity against the sanctuary.” Rhyan cites Homer and Heraclitus in a chapter called “The Mother of God,” which examines the sacred places that are hidden from or prohibited…

PARIS, Jan 16, 2024 (BSS/AFP) – More than 7,000 people were hospitalised or died from Covid-19 in the UK during the summer of 2022 because they had not received the recommended number of vaccine doses, according to a study released Tuesday that was the first to cover Britain’s entire population. The researchers said the “landmark” population-wide study showed how important it is for people to keep getting booster jabs as Covid continues to pose a major health threat. More than 90 percent of the UK’s adult population were vaccinated during the earlier stages of the pandemic. However, between June to September 2022, after the pandemic’s emergency phase was declared over and attention turned elsewhere, around 44 percent of Britons were…
