Manchester City: how did they get to the Club World Cup final?

It was plain sailing for Manchester City in their semi-final against Urawa Red Diamonds on Tuesday, which was their first Game in the comPetition. Although the Japanese side almost managed to get to half time on level terms, an own goal at the end of the first half set Pep Guardiola's team on the road to victory. Quick-fire goals from Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva had the tie sewn up with 30 minutes left to play.

It's also been a year of firsts for Fluminense. A first FIFA Club World Cup final in their first appearance in the comPetition. Which came about by them winning the Copa Libertadores for the first time in their History. In early November, the Brazilians defeated Argentine giants Boca Juniors in the final of that tournament at the Maracanã, their home ground.

How did Manchester City qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup?

If you're here, the chances are you'll know this already, so let's just call this a friendly reminder. In addition to winning the Premier League and FA Cup in 2022-23, Manchester City finally got their hands on the big one that had evaded them for long enough - the UEFA Champions League. A 1-0 win over Inter in the final in June also qualified them for the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time in their history. Today, they could complete a near-perfect 2023 (they didn't win the League Cup, after all).

Early Fluminense team news: full squad to choose from

That little first aid sign is redundant for the Brazilians, who look to have a full squad to choose from for this game. In the era of 100-minute matches every few days, you don't hear that often anymore, do you?

And that despite having several players on their roster who make me feel young. More on that in a few moments.

Early Manchester City team news: Haaland and De Bruyne still out injured

If you had to pick Manchester City's two "best" players, there's a decent chance you'd plump for Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne (although Rodri has gathered lots of momentum in that conversation of late). Neither of the first two are fit to face Fluminense, while flying winger Jérémy Doku is also absent (good news for live bloggers everywhere who can forget about having to put accents on his name).

Alzheimer's may be caused by immune cells thinking brain cells are bacteria, expert says

Image
The pursuit of a cure for Alzheimer's disease is becoming an increasingly competitive and contentious quest with recent years witnessing several important controversies. In July 2022, Science magazine reported that a key 2006 research paper, published in the prestigious journal Nature, which identified a subtype of brain protein called beta-amyloid as the cause of Alzheimer's, may have been based on fabricated data. One year earlier, in June 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had approved aducanumab, an antibody-targeting beta-amyloid, as a treatment for Alzheimer's, even though the data supporting its use were incomplete and contradictory. Some physicians believe aducanumab never should have been approved, while others maintain it should be given a chance. With millions of people needing an effective treatment, why are researchers still fumbling in this quest for a cure for what is arguably one of the most important diseases confronting humankind?

What a Mughal Princess Can Teach Us About Feminist History

I n 2001, four rigorous graduate years into honing my scholarship as a feminist historian of Mughal India, I stepped in to help build the Program for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Johns Hopkins. On my first day, as I waited to grab a coffee in Gilman Hall, a prominent male historian congratulated me and then asked a question. “Tell me: why do we still need this program? I included a chapter on women in my recent book.” The assumption that “women” might be separated out from the story of time, place, and wider landscape of desires and summarily relegated to a single chapter is exactly why this program was needed. It’s also exactly why feminist history is needed, too. At its core, feminist history is embedded in the idea of excavating otherwise expunged experiences, dissociated from our worldview, of non-dominant people such as women, queer people, enslaved persons. The trade of the feminist historian is the practice of looking where we habitually don't look—or have be...

The History That Explains Today’s Shortage of Black Midwives

Image
A mid growing maternal mortality rates, Black and Indigenous women in the U.S. are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women. Many women of color experience painful and traumatic hospital experiences as a result of structural racism and being historically neglected by the American health care system. And while maternal care experts have noted the improved health outcomes that come with midwifery care—less medical intervention and fewer C-sections—over 90% of midwives are white, highlighting how hard it is for Black women to find Black providers. But it always wasn’t this way. In 19th century America, interracial midwifery was the primary form of prenatal care. And yet, as childbirth became more medicalized, Black women and women of color were erased from providing maternal health care. Understanding the origin of this disparity is key to addressing the shortage of midwives of color and making the profession more diverse. For generations, pregnancy c...
