The show, depicting Liverpool’s preparations for the 2012-2013 Premier League season, ran for only one series, amounting to just six episodes. Its subsequent cultural half life has been limited, too; those few elements which have lingered illustrate perfectly why it was not renewed. It would emerge later, of course, that both incidents were a little more nuanced than first assumed. The envelope trick had been adapted from a method once used — albeit with considerably more success — by Alex Ferguson. The portrait had been a gift from a disability charity with which Rodgers had worked closely during his time at his previous club, Swansea.

London CNN —A British doctor who escaped Gaza with his family has been sent back to the war zone after Egyptian officials told him his name wasn’t on the list of evacuees, according to a British Member of Parliament. But Davies said while Sabra’s family was allowed through, he was not on the approved list of foreign nationals. “I’m calling for the British government to do their duty and evacuate myself and other British nationals to safety to go back home,” he added. He said Sabra told him he was in “daily contact” with the British Foreign Office and British embassy in Egypt before he was sent back to Gaza. The British Islamic Medical Association said in a statement on Thursday they “demand urgent evacuation of Dr Sabra and other British nationals trapped in Gaza.”More than 150 British nationals have left Gaza for Egypt via the Rafah crossing, according to British Foreign Office minister Andrew Mitchell.

A charter boat captain found a whopping 6.25-inch long megalodon shark tooth in Florida. That's why today, the Sarasota County coastline in Venice, Florida, is known as the shark tooth capital of the world. Recently, a charter boat captain discovered one of the largest fossilized shark teeth ever from a megalodon shark. One of the largest megalodon teeth ever discoveredMichael Nastasio, who has been hunting shark teeth in Florida for 12 years, discovered a fully-intact megalodon shark tooth that was 6.25 inches (15.87 cm) long — only about an inch smaller than the largest megalodon tooth on record.

Authorities in Liverpool want the river to be home to a huge tidal power project which, they say, could power as many as 1 million homes, generating thousands of jobs for the region in the process. Speaking to CNBC, Martin Land, director of the Mersey Tidal Power Project, outlined how the system would work in practice. Tidal barrage systems in operation today include EDF's 240 megawatt La Rance tidal power plant in France, and South Korea's 254 MW Sihwa Lake tidal power plant, currently the world's largest. The agreement, it added, would see "K-water and the Combined Authority working closely together to explore possibilities for tidal power." "Once operational, Mersey Tidal Power would have the potential to become the world's largest tidal power scheme," he said.

When the United States' national men's team faces England at the Qatar World Cup later on Friday, one thing will be missing: medieval knights.

Press photos and social media footage show that England fans wearing Crusader gear were allowed into the stadium to watch their team's match against Iran.

Totodată, egiptenii antici au mumificat nenumărate pisici și chiar au creat primul cimitir de animale din lume. Creaturi speciale care merită atențiePentru egiptenii antici, aceste calități însemnau că pisicile erau creaturi speciale care merită atenție. Acestea erau adorate atât de mult încât egiptenii antici își numeau sau porecleau copiii după feline, inclusiv numele „Mitt” (ce înseamnă pisică) pentru fete. Obsesia egiptenilor antici pentru pisici nu a fost întotdeauna un lucru bunMulte cercetări au sugerat că această obsesie nu a fost mereu un lucru bun.

A68 a apărut din banchiza Larson C la marginea Peninsulei Antarctica şi, timp de un an, s-a mişcat foarte puţin. „Este uimitor că A68 a rezistat atât de mult”, a spus Adrian Luckman de la Swansea University. A68 va fi ţinut minte cel mai mult ca primul aisberg devenit star în social media. Totuşi, aisbergul a fost mai mult decât o senzaţie pentru oamenii din întreaga lume, el a fost şi ţinta unor cercetări ştiinţifice.
