Older, taller, tougher and built to win?

Older, taller, tougher and built to win?

The first thing that stands out about Brazil’s World Cup squad is not Neymar’s return. Nor is it Vinicius Junior’s rise to superstardom. It is the birth date column. Brazil will arrive at the World Cup with the oldest squad in the country’s history. Carlo Ancelotti’s 23-man group has an average age of 29 years and 6 months, older even than Dunga’s experienced squad that travelled to South Africa in 2010. In a football culture that has traditionally celebrated youthful exuberance and fearless improvisation, it is a striking choice. Yet age is only part of the story. Look closer, and another pattern emerges. This Brazil team is taller, more physical, and comprises a larger contingent of domestic league players than any Selecao squad since they won the 2002 World Cup. Taken together, it reveals something important about the first World Cup team assembled by Ancelotti: a Brazil side built less around romance and more on reliability. The squad Ancelotti unveiled feels less like a collection of artists and more like a carefully assembled tournament machine. …

A Windows 10 PC that cannot run on Windows 11 is not automatically junk. But it does need a plan. Regular Windows 10 support ended on Oct. 14, 2025, leaving older PCs without standard security updates, feature updates, or technical assistance. Google’s $3 ChromeOS Flex USB kit reportedly sold out within a month, which suggests some users want practical ways to keep aging PCs useful. For Windows 10 users whose hardware does not meet Windows 11 requirements, the best next step may involve ESU, ChromeOS Flex, Linux, repurposing, or replacement. 1. Confirm the Windows 11 upgrade is really blocked Before giving up on the PC, check what’s preventing the Windows 11 upgrade. In some cases, the hardware is not the issue. A setting may simply need to change. Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements include TPM 2.0, Secure Boot support, a compatible 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. Some machines fail the upgrade check because Secure Boot is disabled or firmware settings need attention. Others fail because the processor or TPM does not meet …

Explained: Caedmon’s Hymn, the oldest English poem just got older | Books and Literature News

Published by Parlour News

A previously unexamined manuscript at Rome’s National Central Library was found to contain a copy of Cædmon’s Hymn, the oldest poem ever written in Old English, predating the previously known earliest version by at least 300 years. The findings by scholars Elisabetta Magnanti and Mark Faulkner of Trinity College Dublin were published in April 20226 in the journal Early Medieval England and its Neighbours. The Hymn is a nine-line poem composed in the seventh century and is the oldest piece of literature in the English language. Our main source for its origin is Bede — the eighth-century monk and scholar also known as the Venerable Bede, whose Ecclesiastical History of the English People, completed around 731, is one of the foundational texts of English history and among the most widely copied books of the entire Middle Ages. According to Bede, the poem was written by Cædmon, an illiterate cowherd at Whitby Abbey in Yorkshire. The story goes that Cædmon left a feast one night, ashamed that he could not sing when the harp was passed around. …

Some people are born to shine, even if life begins by testing them in unimaginable ways. That was Saroj Khan. Long before she became the woman behind iconic songs like “Ek Do Teen”, “Dola Re Dola“, and thousands of unforgettable Bollywood dance routines, Saroj Khan was simply a little girl trying to survive circumstances far bigger than her age.
