The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.

Rival fans have bemoaned the fact that Darwin Nunez's winner came 30-odd seconds after there was a minimum of eight minutes added on. Well, ignoring the very important word "minimum", two Nottingham Forest players were booked for time-wasting during injury time...You reap what you sow. Thirdly, Tierney gave the ball back to Forest when the same thing happened earlier in the second half. Harvey Elliott's shot hit Yates, but play was stopped and Forest were given the ball when Liverpool had it. Tierney might have made a mistake, but there's no conspiracy.

Heartland’s Tim Benson is once again joined by Katja Hoyer, research fellow at King’s College London, to discuss her new book, Beyond the Wall: A History of East Germany.

The news that the leading fancy for the Arkle Trophy would not run came just hours after Constitution Hill was withdrawn from the Champion HurdleAnother favourite at next week’s Cheltenham Festival has been ruled out by injury on a brutal day for ante-post punters. Hours after Constitution Hill was declared a non-runner in the Champion Hurdle, it was announced Marine Nationale would not make the Arkle Trophy. Like Constitution Hill, Marine Nationale was a winner at last year’s Festival, capturing the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. Punters soon took to social media to express their frustration with one writing, “Ballyburn set to run in the Ballymore - instead of the Supreme - Constitution Hill and Marine Nationale ruled out 2024 Cheltenham Festival and Irish Point likely redirected to Champion Hurdle.

PARIS – Clinical Skin has acquired Glytone, the dermatological skin care brand, from Pierre Fabre Laboratories. “With a focus on combining science and skin care expertise, Glytone garnered a loyal customer base and earned the trust of dermatologists in the United States,” Clinical Skin said. Dermatological skin care brands became a hot commodity during the coronavirus pandemic and subsequently still clock robust growth. Pierre Fabre brought its professional hair treatment range Ducray to the U.S. under its Glytone brand in late 2013. Glytone, which was founded as a dermatological skin care company in the U.S., was acquired by Pierre Fabre in 2002.

Sheffield United were thrashed at Bramall Lane (Getty Images)Sheffield United set an unwanted record when they became the first team in English football history to concede five goals in four consecutive home games across all competitions as they were dismantled by Arsenal at Bramall Lane. It prompted some home fans to leave Bramall Lane well before half time, with some getting up from their seats after just 15 minutes. The Blades were also beaten 8-0 by Newcastle at Bramall Lane in the Premier League earlier this season. On Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher called Sheffield United a “disgrace” after one of the “most one-sided performances I’ve ever seen”. The Blades were also beaten 8-0 by Newcastle at Bramall Lane in the Premier League earlier this season.

“If there are no special circumstances, the premier’s press conference will not be held in the next few years,” the AP Mar 3 quoted Lou as saying, without further explanation. The Premier is the country’s leading economics official and would otherwise have many tough questions to answer. The NPC will “discuss” and approve the ruling Communist party of China’s policy direction for the year ahead. They are highly orchestrated, and all public engagements stick closely to the party’s policy and political narrative, the report noted. The Two Sessions refer to the annual meetings at this time of the year of the NPC and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the supposed national political advisory body.

Wing Claws? And yet, if the known specimens of Archaeopteryx that have been found are considered to be juvenile, that would mean scientists can’t be sure whether adult Archaeopteryx actually had prominent wing claws, can they? Indeed, even a recent, detailed study on this latest find commented on the variable traits found within the limited number of Archaeopteryx specimens available to study. The possibility that the known specimens represent a “species flock” of Archaeopteryx, possibly due to island speciation after the initial dispersal of the genus into the Solnhofen Archipelago.14As another article discussing the various Archaeopteryx specimens put it:Even within that group of nine specimens, no two Archaeopteryx look the same. There is significant variation in the size, shape, spacing and orientation of the teeth, as well as differences in body size between the different specimens.

"It never occurred to me that having no visual imagery was unusual..." writes a science journalist at the Guardian "It's not that I forget what I look like, but I am sometimes a little surprised, and don't feel connected to my outward appearance as a matter of identity.

English Heritage has declared that Hadrian’s Wall is a symbol of LGBTQIA+ history. Hadrian’s Wall spans 70 miles across Northern England – the relics of which remain 1,900 years after it was built. The charity, which is responsible for managing over 400 historical monuments, buildings and places across England, recently listed seven locations that are “linked to England’s queer history”. Other locations identified by the English Heritage as part LGBTQIA+ history include Chiswick House, Walmer Castle, Farleigh Hungerford Castle, Eltham Palace, Rievaulx Abbey and Ranger’s House.

Prosecutors accused Weisselberg of lying under oath in the case about allegations that Mr Trump lied about his wealth on financial statements given to banks and insurance companies. Mr Trump is appealing against Mr Engoron’s judgment ordering him to pay more than 454 million dollars in fines and interest for submitting fraudulent information about his asset values on years of financial records. Mr Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies wrongdoing. Weisselberg’s case is separate from the criminal case that Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg brought against Mr Trump last year. He left New York City’s notorious Rikers Island in April, days after Mr Trump was indicted in his New York hush money criminal case.
