Part 5 of the Flux miniseries, “Survivors of the Flux”, written as usual by showrunner Chris Chibnall, picks up immediately after the dramatic (albeit confusing) cliffhanger of the previous episode, in which the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) is transformed into a Weeping Angel before being transported to the mysterious Division. Any tension created by this twist is immediately removed when the Doctor is returned to normal right away, revealing that the Weeping Angels only placed her in temporary stasis....

Many research studies over the last 20 years have demonstrated a connection between an inability to detect odors and a decline in cognition. Several of those studies also demonstrated a predictive relationship where a poor sense of smell in people who did not have dementia predicted an increased likelihood of those same individuals developing symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease over time. For example, one study involving almost 3,000 adults between the ages of 57 to 85 with normal cognition who were studied over the course of five years....

A three-time champion at SW19, Djokovic is seeded 12th on this occasion, with the Serbian still seeking a return to his very best form after significant injury troubles. However, he certainly looked capable of reaching the latter stages once again - and potentially a semi-final against world number one Rafael Nadal - as he recovered from a shaky start to beat 21st seed Edmund 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-4. After struggling throughout the opening set, Djokovic responded to falling behind by adopting a more aggressive approach that soon paid dividends....

A six-time champion in Miami, Djokovic – the ninth seed at the ATP 1000 event – slumped to a straight-sets defeat against Benoit Paire.

Answer by Carly Geehr, former USA Swimming National Team Member I’m going to assume you mean elite swimmers here, and not swimmers in general. Before I answer, I have to voice my disagreement with the assumption behind the question — that most elite swimmers peak young.

Swimmers now are going best times through their late twenties and early thirties....

RELATED: Every Doctor Who Game, Ranked In “Survivors of the Flux”, we learned that Tecteun (Barbara Flynn) was at the very echelon of Division hierarchy. But with her death at the hands of the Ravagers, it’s possible we’ll see more Division operatives coming out of the woodwork to deal with the power vacuum Tecteun’s death has caused. The 13th Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) still has three specials left, so fans should try to learn everything they can about the Division ready for when they inevitably show up again....

LA showed that its power-laden lineup also includes a few grinders. Cody Bellinger fell behind 0-2 against Mets closer Edwin Diaz in the ninth, then hooked a game-tying double into the right-center field gap a couple of pitches later. Alex Verdugo likewise fell into an 0-2 hole before later hitting a bases-loaded sacrifice fly that produced a 9-8 victory.

The Serbian called for the doctor towards the end of the second set and was given medication for a stomach problem before returning to the court and reeling off six successive games in a 4-6 6-2 6-1 victory. Having required nine match points to see off Steve Johnson in Monday’s first round, the former world number one converted at the first time of asking against Mannarino to advance. Djokovic is a five-time finalist but the Ohio tournament is the only Masters event he has yet to capture, and he has landed in the favourable half of the draw that does not include Roger Federer....

Bivol (21-0, 11 KOs) was back in the ring for his first outing since defeating pound-for-pound king Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and faced a very different problem in the form of hulking Mexican southpaw Ramirez, who carried a 44-0 record into the ring. The fighters clashed in centre-ring after a fiery exchange at the end of round one, but any suggestions of a barnburner proved to be misplaced as Bivol immaculately went through his repertoire to win a unanimous decision by margins of 118-110 and 117-111 (twice)....

When Omicron first hit in late 2021, the FDA said that antigen tests do detect the variant but that the tests may have reduced sensitivity. Researchers have been trying to figure out how well rapid tests spot an Omicron infection. They’ve concluded that while at-home COVID tests can pick up Omicron variants—including BA.5—there are some key steps that people need to take to get an accurate result. If a COVID test has low sensitivity, it means there’s a higher chance it will give a negative result to people who are sick (false negative)....
