The two women who dominate the film, Magali and Isabelle (played by Rohmer veterans Beatrice Romand and Marie Riviere), are old friends now in their mid-40s. The happily married Isabelle, a bookseller in the city, takes it upon herself to find a man for the widowed Magali, a vital but lonely vintner from the Rhone Valley. Since Magali refuses to take out a personal ad, Isabelle deviously places one for her, and poses as her friend to scout prospective suitors....

Rape, sexual battery and false imprisonment are among some of the charges Weinberg faces, the Los Angeles Times reported. He allegedly lured women to his house with the impression of conducting a photo shoot before restraining and assaulting them. The organization Helping Survivors of Sexual Abuse & Assault pointed out that abusers may make promises to “dictate and control” how a victim behaves and may threaten them. “Like many cases of sexual assault, sexual abuse by someone with power or influence often comes down to the victim’s word against the accuser’s,” the organization said....

Keane slams Pogbas’ brotherly love Ibrahimovic netted his first United hat-trick against Saint-Etienne on Thursday to take his season tally to 23, and club legend Scholes has told Goal that the Swede’s fitness regime has helped him to prolong his career and silence the doubters. “There’s always going to be doubters,” said Scholes. “I wasn’t 100 per cent sure myself when a 35-year-old centre-forward comes over, but when you look at him he’s not a 35-year-old really with his physique and the way he looks after himself, he’s still a really fit lad....

An international team increased the life of a nematode worm known as C. elegans by genetically altering two “cellular pathways”—biological signalling systems which cells use to communicate with each other. C. elegans is commonly used in ageing research because it shares many genes with humans and only lives for between three and four weeks—so scientists can easily observe how various genetic or environmental factors affect lifespan. In fact, the two pathways which the team manipulated—known as the insulin signalling (IIS) and TOR pathways—are also found in people....

Both Ellis and Greenberg are particularly happy for baseball’s return because they are real fans. Ellis says that he became a baseball fan, at least in part, because he has worked with the Nederlander Organization, the Broadway producers who are part owners of the Yankees, and they would give him tickets. “So I got used to sitting behind the dugout. I love baseball, and I certainly dug much deeper into it when I knew I was doing the play, which I’ve been on board for many years....

Cuomo told reporters in a Thursday morning teleconference that the decision was a way for the new Supreme Court to “express its politics and philosophy.” The decision was praised by many faith leaders and conservatives. “I think that the Supreme Court ruling on the religious gatherings is more illustrative of the Supreme Court than anything else,” Cuomo said following the decision. “It’s irrelevant from a practical impact because the zone that they were talking about has already been moved, it expired last week....
