Daily Edition ? April 10, 2025 SUPPORTED BY You may not associate heavy metal rockers with do-gooders — but here’s something to upend your assumptions. Metallica is teaming up with the American Red Cross to arrange blood drives that coincide with many of the band’s North American tour dates this spring and early summer. The collaboration is particularly timely, given that the need for donated blood tends to ramp up in the warmer months. As an added bonus, fans who donate get a free Metallica T-shirt.

There May Be Benefits to Keeping It There, Study Finds recep-bg/ iStock Mind-wandering tends to get a bad rap, especially in an educational context. A recent study, however, found that letting your mind drift might not be harmful when it comes to learning a new task — in fact, it may even be helpful. ? Researchers in Hungary fitted 37 people with scalp electrodes to monitor their brain activity. Participants were then given an exercise that involved watching an arrow on a TV screen and hitting a key on a keyboard to indicate what direction it went in, per Australia’s ABC News. Throughout the activity, they were intermittently asked three questions about their attentiveness: if their mind had wandered, if they’d been thinking about anything at all, or if they had been focused on the task. ? Using the data from the electrodes and the participant responses, the scientists determined if their attention had wandered and evaluated whether it affected their ability to complete the task. They found that “mind-wandering while doing the task did not worsen performance, and in some cases even enhanced learning,” per a news release. Study authors also noted an association between a wandering mind and probabilistic learning, meaning participants used prior experience to assess the likelihood of something happening. ? This study adds to research that shows daydreaming can help us solve problems and reach our goals — and suggests that we may need to carve out more time for passive learning, said co-author Péter Simor: “As our brain needs sleep, maybe we also need passive ways of learning, or ‘wakeful rest,’ to recover from tasks that require your brain to be online and engaged.” Together With StorEn This Safer, Longer-Lasting Battery Could Be the Next Energy Disruptor For years, lithium batteries have powered homes and devices, but their drawbacks are hard to ignore: fire risks, short li

News Articles Shop Account The Rise of Robert Devereux, the Second Earl of Essex and Future Favorite of Queen Elizabeth I: 1586–1587 Robert Devereux, who would become the 2nd Earl of Essex and Queen Elizabeth I’s last favourite, was born on 10th November 1565 in the manor house at Netherwood near Bromyard, in Herefordshire. His life was to be short and turbulent. He would rise in the queen’s favour, triumphing over all his enemies, but his relationship with Elizabeth would always be fractious. He sought glory and engaged in military action in the Netherlands, France, Cadiz, the Azores and Ireland. After developing an intelligence network to rival the Cecils, he was a key player in the political life of the Elizabethan court. But as he rose to the heights of his ambition, he would also fall in devastating circumstances all of his own making. Europe’s Great Religious Divide Increasing tensions across Europe made England fearful of a Spanish invasion. The Spanish Hapsburg Empire, under the rule of Phillip II, was trying to suppress Protestantism especially in the United Provinces where the Dutch were fighting for their independence. Elizabeth I had a long history with Phillip, who had been married to her older sister Mary. Once their relationship had been amicable enough – he had even supported her against her sister – but now she was queen, Philip’s machinations were a threat. Elizabeth had inherited a kingdom that had been divided over religion for many years. Her reign followed her father’s break with Rome, her brother’s fervent Protestantism and her sister’s return to Catholicism. In order to bring peace to her realm Elizabeth and her councillors came up with the Religious Settlement. In 1559 the Act of Uniformity established The Book of Common Prayer and the Act of Supremacy underlined her role as supreme governor of the English church. A further act in 1563 laid out the doctrine of the Church of England. England would be protestant but Catholics would be tolerated. Pope Pius V had excommunicated Elizabeth in 1570 as ‘the number of the ungodly hath gotten such power, there is now no place left in the whole World which they have not assayed to corrupt with their most wicked Doctrines: Amongst others, Elizabeth, the pretended Queen of England, a Slave of Wickedness, lending thereunto her helping hand, with whom, as in a Sanctuary, the most pernicious of all men have found a Refuge.’ But the papal bull also gave Catholics the order not to obey her on penalty of excommunication. It was supposed to support the nobles who had remained true to the old faith but Philip II, defender of the faith in Catholic Europe, believed the only way for England to return to the true religion would be by a full scale assault.

From: Sharon Pohlman ‘Survivor 48’ recap: Eliminated player says the others are ‘hoochies’ and ‘obsessed with me’ John Benutty Reality TV April 9, 2025 Heading into the seventh episode of Survivor 48, the three original tribes of Civa, Lagi, and Vula had just officially merged. Free to talk to players from all three camps for the first time, David Kinne assembled a new alliance of "all the strong people," including Eva Erickson, Joe Hunter, Kyle Fraser, and Shauhin Davari to write a new narrative for the game where athletic players can be more than just shields and work together for one of them to win. Tonight, their alliance faced their first test when Jeff Probst split the 12 players into two teams for a challenge, sending both to Tribal Council for a double elimination twist. Read on for our recap of Survivor Season 48, Episode 7, titled "Survivor Smack Talk," which aired Wednesday, April 9 on CBS. The 12 players still competing to become "sole Survivor" at the start of the episode were: Cedrek McFadden, Chrissy Sarnowsky, David Kinne, Eva Erickson, Joe Hunter, Kamilla Karthigesu, Kyle Fraser, Mary Zheng, Mitch Guerra, Saiounia "Sai" Hughley, Shauhin Davari, and Star Toomey. "Any move that needs to be made would have to be made using me" — Shauhin Davari Following the first Tribal Council vote as individuals, Mitch was most unsettled by the realization that he was left out of a large majority decision. He was upset that no one told him about the plan to take out Charity Nelms, leaving him to cast one of the five votes against Sai instead, someone he said he would have been willing to vote out. Shauhin and Joe both offered the explanation that the group thought he was too close to Charity to tell, but once Mitch turned the conversation into an opportunity to share his personal story with them, Joe realized that he was actually a bigger threat than they originally thought because of how likable he is.With five votes cast against her, Sai understood that within the merged tribe there are players in a position of power already and that she'd have to make in-roads with them to avoid appearing on the chopping block again. She pulled Shauhin in for a conversation where they acknowledged his vote against her and vowed to work more closely together in the future, but Shauhin knew that as a player on the outs she was doing what she had to do. After Cedrek and Mitch also came to him for private conversations, Shauhin found himself in the middle of the tribe where he felt in control of swaying the game in the direction of his own preference. "With respect, Cedrek, you lasted about 15 seconds" — Jeff Probst In this week's challenge, the safety of immunity was offered to the two players that could endure holding up their pre-game body weight in water the longest. To determine the winners, the 12 players were randomly divided into two teams and the longest lasting from each would earn immunity while the longest lasting overall would also earn a modest peanut butter and jelly reward lunch. The twist of the challenge was that both teams of six, regardless of the reward win, would go to Tribal Council and vote one of their own out of the game. In addition, the player voted out from the first (losing) team would not make it to the jury while the second (winning) team's player would. The randomly drawn teams were: Star, Joe, Mitch, Chrissy, Eva and Sai on orange, and Kyle, Shauhin, Cedrek, Mary, David and Kamilla on purple. When Cedrek, Star, Chrissy, Sai, Kamilla and Mary all dropped from the challenge quickly, the five players in the strength-based alliance plus Mitch were the only ones left fighting for their teams. Once Shauhin and Mitch fell out, David, Kyle and Eva began a series of "smack talk" across the podium, taunting one another in the spirit of self-confidence and even Jeff got in on the action, clocking Cedrek for having only lasted 15 seconds himself. By the end, Joe outlasted Eva on the orange team and David lasted longer than Kyle on purple to win individual immunity, but it was David that set a new record for the challe

‘The Masked Singer’ recap: A polarizing TV star and Las Vegas headliner unmasked in ‘Group C Finals: Decades Night’ Denton Davidson @denton_davidson Reality TV April 9, 2025 It's "Decades Night" on The Masked Singer and viewers were tuned into Mystery Mixed Radio! In the Group C finals, Mad Scientist Monster, Nessy, and Yorkie each performed a hit song from an iconic era. One celebrity automatically advanced to the Lucky Six while two faced off in an electrifying Battle Royale. Panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora dissected the clues hoping to uncover which of your favorite stars are behind the wacky masks. Nick Cannon hosted the zany fun airing Wednesday, April 9 (8 p.m. ET/PT) on Fox. Find out who was unmasked below. Yorkie Yorkie took us back to the 1960s and barked out a few clues that had everyone saying, "hot diggity-dog": "I chose the 60s because they remind me of my mom. I instantly picture her as a young woman falling in love and getting married. That white picket fence dream of the decade. But just a few years later, when I was born, it all fell apart when my dad walked out — leaving my mom to raise a baby on her own. It was never the same. She used her pain as a cautionary tale. She taught me to be guarded with my heart and keep love on a short leash — to think things over — because every chance at love was a bigger chance at heartbreak. So I grew up fast. Some would say I was cold. I resented that part of myself for many years. I've had to learn how to let people in. After my own mess with love, I can now appreciate where my mom was coming from. She was just trying to protect me. So, this song's for her — my ultimate protector." Yorkie sang "Stop! In the Name of Love" by the Supremes before revealing a 60s-inspired clue: a vinyl record that said, "Show Dog." The fashionable canine responded, "Yeah, I'm a show dog! I'm part of one of the biggest TV shows out there." The panelists' guesses were Lori Loughlin (Robin), Kyle Richards (Ken), and Erika Jayne (Jenny).Mad Scientist Monster Next up was Mad Scientist Monster, who shared a few clues about his life in the 2010s: "I chose the 2010s because they were lit. Electric cars hit the roads and smart phones hit the stores. And it's one of the best decades of my career. It seemed like I could conquer the world. I won every award possible except that Nobel Prize. But I didn't do it alone, and while we had a very good run together, it didn't last forever. We had very different theories on life. I wanted to explore new avenues and keep our grand experiment going. But we never tested that hypothesis, so I ventured out on my own. At first, I was, well, mad! But life rolls on — and once I went out on my own — I found that I quite liked that I was in control of my results. Now, I realize I learned a major lesson: Sometimes chemistry changes — and that's OK. Not everybody's going to love you — and that's OK, too. As long as you love yourself." Mad Scientist Monster sang "Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber before revealing his 2010s-inspired clue: an iPad that said, "Season 4." He responded, "I've performed with someone from Season 4." The panelists' guesses were Brad Paisley (Ken), Blake Shelton (Jenny), and Billy Ray Cyrus (Rita).Nessy Nessy was up last and transported us back the 1980s — which was all about excess — and he shared an excess number of clues before singing: "Oh, the '80s. A decade of mullets, MTV, and camcorders. That's why I chose it. Back then you'd blast a love song from a boombox outside your crush's bedroom window just to let them know how you feel. For me growing up, there was one band blasting from my boombox — the mighty REO Speedwagon. I even got to open up for them. Their music taught me how to put lyrics to the feelings of love — something I became known for in my own career. Valentine's Day is practically my Super Bowl. God only knows how many couples have walked down the aisle to my song, but when it came time for me to say my own 'I dos,' you better believe there was one band that made the playlist — REO Speedwa

From: Sharon Pohlman A Footrace to the Finish! Who Went Home on ‘The Amazing Race 37’ Tonight? Spoiler alert! Find out which of the 8 teams went home in Leg 6, as a trip to Dubai saw the return of the Fast Forward, and a footrace to the Pit Stop. Apr 9, 2025 11:00 PM EDT Last week's episode of The Amazing Race 37 shockingly reset the board, humbling the frontrunners and taking out a threat to win it all. But the remaining 8 teams had no time to stop and reflect on the U-Turn vote, as they flew off to Dubai. The pairs soared to great heights, while one dove deep to get an old-school staple in the Fast Forward. And, in the closest finish yet, two teams ended the leg in an intense footrace to the Pit Stop. Check out our spoiler-filled recap below to find out who went home from the race on The Amazing Race 37 tonight.Who was eliminated in The Amazing Race 37 Week 5 tonight? Jeff “Pops” Bailey and Jeff Bailey – Father and son Pops and Jeff came onto The Amazing Race with one of the most unique dynamics: A father/son lumberjack duo. While the two were much more used to traveling vertically than horizontally, they were able to use their strength and calm demeanor from climbing trees to climb the ranks through the race, maintaining a middle-of-the-pack finish for most legs. Their winning prospects, however, were promptly chopped down by this most recent leg in Dubai. Pops and Jeff failed to impress with their food decorating skills, putting them in last place. But Jeff, despite his lack of adeptness in the water, got them one place ahead on the way to the Pit Stop. However, the two missed out on a crucial train, which had Nick and Mike catching up to them. That proved to be a million-dollar train ride, as the brothers blazed past the father/son duo, eliminating them from the race.Which teams finished at the top of The Amazing Race 37 Week 6 tonight? Carson McCalley and Jack Dodge had spent weeks evading the target in lieu of other teams being considered threats. But they acquired this leg's “surprise” in the Fast Forward, which got them out to a roaring lead and a first-place finish. However, their scuba diving could have them surfacing as the ones to beat for a future leg. The remaining teams had to run the leg in full, and Han and Holden Nguyen had their best finish yet due to Han's surfing experience. And Alyssa and Josiah Borden continued their consistent trajectory, coming in third. Which teams finished at the bottom of The Amazing Race 37 Week 6 tonight? Brothers Nick and Mike Fiorito came into the leg looking to learn from their mistakes so that they not only survived but came in first. Unfortunately, those prospects immediately fell apart when their “slow and steady” approach in the food decorating task sent them to the back of the pack. And Mike's lack of mastery of the e-foil foiled them, putting them officially in last place. But Nick and Mike were granted a reprieve when they caught up to Pops and Jeff, outpacing them to the Pit Stop to narrowly avoid elimination. Above them were Melinda and Erika Papadeas, who came in third-to-last after Erika mounted a dominating performance in the second Roadblock. Who's left this season on The Amazing Race 37?–Alyssa Borden and Josiah Borden – Married nurse anesthetists–Brett Hamby and Mark Romain – Married Vegas performers–Carson McCalley and Jack Dodge – Best friends and gamers–Han Nguyen and Holden Nguyen – Siblings–Jonathan Towns and Ana Towns – Married parents–Melinda Papadeas and Erika Papadeas – Mother and daughter–Nick Fiorito and Mike Fiorito – Brothers Mary Live long and prosper
