Ellen DeGeneres says Donald Trump is the reason she moved to U.K. – National

Ellen DeGeneres confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump is the reason she left the United States and moved to the U.K. In her first public appearance since leaving the U.S. last year, DeGeneres, 67, was asked at a conversation event if the reports that she moved to the U.K. because of Trump, 79, were correct and she simply said, “Yes.”“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in,'” DeGeneres told broadcaster Richard Bacon in Cheltenham, England, on Sunday. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.'”DeGeneres had nothing but good things to say about her new home in the aristocratic Cotswolds region, telling Bacon that life “is just better” in the U.K. Story continues below advertisement ...

Doctors remove massive 3-kg football-sized tumour from woman`s uterus

In a rare and surprising case, a 51-year-old woman, who is a homemaker and mother of two children, has been successfully treated by doctors in Pune, after they found that she had a large tumour (fibroid) growing in her uterus almost the size of a football, and she was completely unaware of it, considering it as an asymptomatic fibroid.  The fibroid, weighing around 3 kilograms, was safely removed by the doctors at Motherhood Hospital in Kharadi giving her a new lease of life. It all started just two months ago when the woman noticed a small bulge in her stomach. Since she didn’t have any pain or discomfort, she ignored it. But during a regular check-up, a general physician felt a lump and advised her to get a sonography done. That’s when the big shock came, the scan showed a massive 20 cm...

IMAX Tickets to Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Are Sold Out a Year in Advance, and You Can Probably Guess Why

The hype train for Christopher Nolan's movie The Odyssey is already screaming down the tracks. Despite a release date of July 17, 2026, some movie theaters are already selling tickets to the first IMAX screenings of the film. The pre-sales are for select showings of the 70mm IMAX version of the movie in a handful of cities in the U.S. and Canada. While this might seem like a mere marketing gimmick (who needs to buy tickets a year out?), many showings have already sold out. As of this writing, 13 of the 16 U.S. theaters offering pre-sale tickets are fully booked. You're probably thinking that the only people eager to buy movie tickets a year early are people who plan to sell them later, and you're probably right: Many of the tickets seem to have been sold to scalpers. A quick check of eBay ...

Trump diagnosed with ‘chronic venous insufficiency’: Know about the condition

US President Donald Trump was recently diagnosed with ‘chronic venous insufficiency’ following a medical check-up after noticing “mild swelling” in his lower legs. During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the US President was diagnosed with a vein condition which is "common in individuals over the age of 70”. Reading a letter from Trump’s doctor, she further revealed that there was no evidence of more serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease, and stressed that the President remains in “excellent health”. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition in which the veins in the legs have trouble sending blood back to the heart because of damaged valves. “Over time, this causes blood to pool in the legs. It’s more commo...

Gavin Rossdale on the new Bush album, cooking, and staying away from social media – National

This past Friday, July 18, Gavin Rossdale and Bush released the group’s 10th album, I Beat Loneliness. I connected with Gavin at his home in Los Angeles.Alan Cross: The new Bush album is entitled I Beat Loneliness. You look at that on the surface, and it seems like the most autobiographical title of all time, is it?Gavin Rossdale: Yeah, I think so. I forced myself to ask what was important to me. It led me to re-evaluate myself, what I thought would be satisfying to investigate. I just went on deep dives, every song is a different experiment, sonically, musically. I still keep myself 25 per cent madly ignorant of music. I just hear things differently because I’m just feral like that. But a little bit of spill gives it the source, gives it the blood.So yeah, this record is very autobiograph...

I’m Not Multitasking During At-Home Workouts Anymore (and You Shouldn’t Either)

I used to be a big believer in distracting myself while I was working out, especially when doing cardio, which can last a long time and feel tedious. Even though I've recommended such an approach a few times, I've changed my viewpoint after looking a little bit at my output and refining my goals. I'm not above admitting the old way wasn't working or that I was wrong. Here's why I'm no longer trying to distract myself during cardio—and why you should consider stopping, too. Why I'm done with exercise distractionsMultitasking does not work. It really doesn't: Any time you're trying to do two things at once, you're splitting the energy and brainpower you can devote to both, essentially half-assing them at the same time instead of, forgive me, whole-assing them one at a time. It's tempting, of...

Dogs engage differently with content on TV based on their personalities: Study

Dogs may have `personalities` which guide their television viewing habits -- an anxious dog might respond more to cars or a doorbell sound, while an excitable one is more likely to follow on-screen objects, a study has found. Researchers from Auburn University, US, also found that pet dogs may perceive two-dimensional objects on the TV screen in a manner similar to those in the three-dimensional environment. The results, published in the journal Scientific Reports, help understand a pet dog`s internal, perceptual experience and may inform interventions taken towards their welfare. "In practice, engagement with television could provide dogs with an enriching, meaningful experience," the authors wrote. About 650 dog owners responded to surveys after observing their dog`s TV viewing habit...
