The Great Fire of London, Hitler’s rise and 9/11: Which Nostradamus predictions came true?

More than 900 quatrains in his 1555 book Les Prophéties have predicted major world events over time, his supporters believe. These interpretations of his work continue to keep his legacy alive all these years later. For 2024, he predicted that King Charles II would abdicate, there would be a new pope, and that China would be involved in a war. With only days left of the year, the likelihood of these events occurring seems low – however, over the decades, many believe that Nostradamus correctly predicted several world events. Others argue that because his prophecies have a tendency to be cryptic and vague – and because they reference general events that are likely to happen throughout history – there’s a high chance there will always be one to match a landmark event.With his predictions fo...

South Korea’s acting president has been impeached. What to know – National

The impeachment of South Korea’s acting President Han Duck-soo Friday has plunged the country into further political turmoil, coming less than two weeks after lawmakers impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. The successive impeachments that suspended the country’s top two officials are unprecedented, and the deputy prime minister and finance minister, Choi Sang-mok, is now South Korea’s new interim leader. Upon taking over power, Choi swiftly ordered the military to boost readiness to thwart potential North Korean aggressions and told diplomats to reassure key partners like the U.S. and Japan.“(Han’s) impeachment now creates an opportunity for external threats while causing Korea’s foreign partners to alienate it from the global community,” said Duyeon Kim, a senior analyst at the Center for a...

Mumbai docs restore woman`s ability to laugh, eat after complex procedure on jaw

Mumbai doctors have successfully treated Renu (name changed) to restore her jaw function after conducting a complex surgical procedure.

L. Raheja Hospital, Mahim - A Fortis Associate, who diagnosed her with Synovial Chondromatosis, a rare and benign condition in which bone tumors affect the joints, and counselled ...

From Oura Ring to Trish McEvoy bronzer: Our beauty editor’s favourite products of 2024

A friend told me that these were superlative and I sighed an exhausted sigh and thought ‘how great can bath salts really be?’ Turns out, rather great; blending pink Himalayan salt, Hawaiian black lava sea salt, and Grey Celtic sea salt from the coast of Brittany, these make the entire bathroom – and the rooms beyond – smell like an expensive spa, and after a soak in them, I notice my skin is softer and muscles relaxed.

Kritika Kamra: ‘The audience is ready to experiment, if creators are’

Kritika Kamra can’t wait for 2025 to begin so that the audience can have a look at her upcoming series, For Your Eyes Only. Directed by Sumit Purohit, who wrote Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020), the Netflix series is an espionage thriller set in the ’70s. For Kamra, the show stands out as she believes it is on a par with international offerings. “What drew me to the show is its premise. It’s set in a timeline that is crucial in history. Now that we’ve finished it, I feel that from conception to execution, this show has an international quality to it,” says the actor. Kamra had another incentive to say yes to the project—it gave her the opportunity to share screen space with Scam 1992 star Pratik Gandhi. “He’s a natural and so generous as an actor; it pushes you to bring your A-g...
