Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden`s Citadel to discontinue after season 2?

The murmurs were there for weeks, and on April 16, it became official. On Wednesday, Amazon announced that Citadel: Honey Bunny and Citadel: Diana, the Indian and Italian offshoots respectively of Citadel, each one season old, were being discontinued. The OTT giant also announced that the second season of the US mothership series, led by Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden, would arrive in 2026. But mid-day has now learnt that the second season may mark the end of the road for the entire Citadel universe, as Amazon has apparently pulled the plug on its Mexico, Spain and Japan spin-offs. It is also heard that Chopra only has a two-season contract for the US version.

Wildfire season is starting. How Canadian leaders plan to respond – National

After two of the worst years for wildfires on record, Canada’s fire season is getting started in parts of the country against the backdrop of the federal election. Wildfire season typically runs from late April or early May until around August. Yet wildfires or climate change in general have largely taken a backseat in the campaign so far.An Ipsos poll done exclusively for Global News that was released April 13 found that climate change was ranked 12th in terms of key issues for Canadian voters, bumped down from the 10th spot when similar polling was done before the election campaign.Climate was among the issues discussed in the leaders’ debates last week, but there was little mention of wildfires by the four party leaders in attendance.But cost of living is the top priority, polling shows...

Kids exposed to paternal depression may have behavioural issues later: Study

A team of researchers at Rutgers University in the US has found that five-year-olds exposed to paternal depression are more likely to have behavioural issues in grade school. In a study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, Kristine Schmitz, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS), together with other researchers from RWJMS and from Princeton and Rider universities, reported that children exposed to paternal depression when entering kindergarten are far more likely to have teacher-reported behavioural difficulties and poor social skills at age 9. “We need to consider depression in both parents, not just mothers,” said Schmitz. “Depression is treatable, and to support the whole family, paediatricians must start talking...

There are a ton of ways to ensure your privacy inside, starting with items like window films, shades, and curtains. And if you want to protect your outdoor space from neighbors peering over the fence, you have several easy options.Most of those options, however, assume your neighbors are on the same level as you. If the neighboring homes are located above yours, you’ll need to re-think your privacy plan. This is especially true if your neighbors have outdoor areas that offer a perfect view of your backyard. If you get the sense you’re being watched every time...

VR, AR tech may help people manage everyday stress: Study

The virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technology could simulate stressful situations and help people practice stress-relief strategies, a new study has revealed. Everyday situations can sometimes feel like big stressors, whether it`s delivering an important work presentation, attending a party full of strangers or confronting a partner. Talking to a friend or a therapist can help. But so can practice. A new project from Carnegie Mellon University researchers in the US aimed to make that practice easier by using VR/AR technology. The research team, led by Anna Fang in the School of Computer Science`s Human-Computer Interaction Institute, tested their stress simulation technology on a group of 19 participants, the majority of whom overwhelmingly supported it. "For the past 10 to 20 y...
