(CNN) — A new species of dinosaur with blade-like spikes for armor has been discovered on the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England.Named Vectipelta barretti, it is the first armored dinosaur, or ankylosaur, to have been found on the island in 142 years, according to a statement from London’s Natural History Museum, where several of the researchers who discovered the dinosaur work.The dinosaur would have lived during the Early Cretaceous period, 145-100.5 million years ago, the museum said.There are few fossils dating from the period worldwide, which some believe suggests there was a mass extinction at the end of the Jurassic period, which preceded it.Given the lack of fossil record from the Early Cretaceousperiod in other parts of the world, the Isle of Wight is vitally important for our understanding of what happened, the museum said.“This is an important specimen because it sheds light on ankylosaur diversity within the Wessex formation and Early Cretaceous England,” said...New report flashes a warning light over 401(k) account balances

New York (CNN) — The average balance in employer-sponsored savings plans last year was $112,572, well below the $141,542 recorded in 2021.That’s according to the latest annual report, “How America Saves,” from investment firm Vanguard, which serves as record keeper for defined contribution plans that, combined, have nearly 5 million participants with a median age of 43. Such plans include 401(k)s and 403(b)s, as well as a much smaller universe of plans that employers simply put money into for employees and then employees direct how that money is invested.“Vanguard participants’ average account balances decreased by 20% since year-end 2021, driven primarily by the decrease in equity and bond markets over the year,” according to the report.The numbers look worse if you consider the median balance, which was just $27,376 last year, down from $35,345 in 2021. The median in some ways is a truer read on the state of employees’ retirement savings since it is the middle point — meaning half...Fathers’ roles in helping with infant sleep and breastfeeding found to be ‘suboptimal,’ new study says
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 23:19:28 GMT
(CNN) — Fathers matter.A new study — a rare effort that focuses solely on the father’s involvement in an infant’s life — shows a striking link between the support that dads offer and better infant outcomes.The research sought to answer several questions about paternal participation in breastfeeding and the use of safe sleep practices for babies. The results showed that fathers play a crucial role in both — and it highlights the need for bolstered parental leave policies in the United States, according to the study, which published Friday in the journal Pediatrics.The results of the survey, which included 250 fathers, were “suboptimal,” the study concluded, revealing only 16% of dads followed all the recommended safe sleeping practices for infants. And many could do more to support mothers who breastfeed, which can provide key health benefits for babies, the study indicated.The reason the researchers asked these questions in the first place? Moms wanted them to, said study coauthor D...‘Those Who Remained’ charts life, healing after the horrors of war

Opening today at the West Newton Cinema is another gleaming find from the discerning people at Menemsha Films. “Those Who Remained” is a 2019 Hungarian drama set in postwar Budapest, where Jewish survivors try to move forward with their lives however traumatized they have been. Aladar “Aldo” Korner (a fine Karoly Hajduk) is a 42-year-old gynecologist, whose wife and children died in the camps. When we meet him, he is treating 16-year-old Klara Weiner (a marvelous Abigel Szoke). Klara is so devastated by the loss of her family that she pretends they moved away and left her behind with her hopeless and similarly damaged Aunt Olgi (Mari Nagy). Aldo is tall, gaunt and wears his fedora at a rakish tilt. Hajduk would make a fine screen Dracula. He has a courtly demeanor and something dark perched behind his eyes. Szoke’s Klara is an unruly, inconsolable and also attractive girl. She gets her period, which she deems “disgusting.” She hates everything, including such postwar deprivati...Iowa high court refuses to unblock strict ban on most abortions

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s high court refused Friday to unblock a strict ban on most abortions, rebuffing Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds and, for now, keeping the conservative state from joining others that have severely limited access to the procedure.The decision to uphold a 2019 district court ruling that blocked the law comes roughly a year after the same body — and the U.S. Supreme Court — determined that women do not have a fundamental constitutional right to abortion.The blocked law bans abortions once cardiac activity can be detected, usually around six weeks of pregnancy and before many women know they are pregnant.While the state’s high court maintains the block on the law, it does not preclude Reynolds and lawmakers from passing a new law that looks the same. The decision Friday was largely procedural — the 2022 appeal to the 2019 ruling was too late.Abortions remain legal in Iowa up to 20 weeks of pregnancy.THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.
