When Is Pope Leo's Inauguration?
After Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected on March 13, 2013, he was inaugurated as Pope Francis I on March 19. Benedict XVI was elected on April 19, 2005, and his inauguration took place five days later on April 24. The timing allows the pope to prepare for public ministry and to meet with senior Vatican officials before formally beginning his role. The inauguration mass then marks the official start of the new papacy and draws a large global audience, with more than 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide, according to the Vatican.
Breaking with tradition ever-so-slightly, the break between conclave and the formal inauguration will be a bit longer. The papal inauguration for Pope Leo XIV, née Robert Prevost, will take place this Sunday, May 18.
Pope Leo, the first American pope, was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1955. He is also an alumnus of Philadelphia's Villanova University. That's all to say: Time zone conversions are going to be key for American Catholics eager to witness the crowning of the new head of the Roman Catholic Church.
Truly embracing the digital age, the Vatican made it relatively easy to follow along with the conclave to elect the new pope this month with a 24/7 livestream on YouTube. Vatican News, the official news source for the Holy See, broadcasts in multiple languages, including English. The outlet's YouTube page has already been broadcasting a number of events live and making them available to watch later, such as Pope Leo's first mass as pontiff on May 9 and his address from St. Peter's Balcony the day prior. There will be a free livestream of the papal inauguration with a replay available later.
Similar to the funeral of Pope Francis, you can expect that all the major news networks will be broadcasting live from Vatican City. If you can't watch on TV, most networks make their live feeds available online by logging into your respective streaming account.
Americans should prepare themselves for an early day, wherever they are stateside, but time zones closer to the Atlantic have an advantage. Rome and Vatican City are six hours ahead of New York and nine hours ahead of Los Angeles, just to give you an idea.
The mass itself is expected to start at 10 a.m. Central European Time (CET), but the news networks will start coverage at least an hour sooner, following his trip from the papal residence to St. Peter's Square.
Here's when coverage for Pope Leo's papal inauguration is expected to start by U.S. time zones:
Eastern Time: 3:00 a.m.
Central Time: 2:00 a.m.
Mountain Time: 1:00 a.m.
Pacific Time: 12:00 a.m. (midnight)
Alaska Time: 11:00 p.m. (Saturday, May 17)
Hawaii-Aleutian Time: 9:00 p.m. (Saturday, May 17)

'Absolutely vile': Tesco launches nostalgic birthday cake sandwich - 7 reviews on the viral food moment
This been the summer of viral food trends. First it was Dubai chocolate everything, then M&S released a wave of internet faves including chunky cookies, and a strawberries and cream sandwich, and now Tesco has entered their hat into the ring with their latest invention - a birthday cake sandwich. Yesterday (4th August) the supermarket launched a new limited edition sandwich as part of its meal deal. Except this isn't your standard lunch fare. Inspired by a childhood classic of a birthday cake, the new sandwich features the flavours of classic Victoria sponge and sprinkles. It's £3.00 on it's own or £4.00 with a drink and snack. The new sandwich is available for just four weeks, so if you want to try it, don't delay in heading to your nearest Tesco. But is it actually worth trying? Well already many shoppers have been down to their local Tesco to try it out. The Liverpool Echo reported the sandwich said the "cream cheese icing and jam were overpowering compared to the brioche bread" and added that it in fact "didn't taste much different to your standard birthday cake." We're not sure we'll be replacing our usual birthday cake for this though. Others were less convinced with the new sandwich, with TikTok food creator Angelina PJ criticising the sandwich and saying how it was far too sweet. Speaking to camera in her review yesterday she said: "Oh my gosh it's so sweet, I can't. As you can see I'm a bit speechless". Meanwhile over on this morning's [5 August] edition of Lorraine, host Christine Lampard reviewed the sandwich alongside guests Sarah Hewson and Ayesha Hazarika, who were in agreement over not liking the sandwich. And on X many people were complaining about hte sandwich with one person trying it and saying it "wasn't worth it", and reminded them of B&M's birthday cake candle. Another said it looks "absolutely vile" and another questioned why the sandwich had bread and instead argued they could have used thin slices of cake. Over on Instagram foodie account Newfoodsuk reviewed the viral sandwich and gave their verdict: "Trying the new Birthday Cake Sandwich from @tesco 🎂 Wow, it was very sweet indeed! You do also get a strong cream cheese flavour too! 😅 Very intriguing sandwich for sure!". Will you be trying it? Lydia Venn is Cosmopolitan UK's Senior Entertainment and Lifestyle Writer.

A Graceland discovery inspired Peter Guralnick's myth-busting biography of Colonel Tom Parker
As the author of multiple books about Elvis Presley — including his magisterial 1994 biography 'Last Train to Memphis' and its 1999 sequel, 'Careless Love' — Peter Guralnick has interviewed hundreds of subjects and combed through a tall mountain of archival material in his quest for the truth about the most consequential American musical artist of the post World-War II era. But as it turned out there was more material, far more than Guralnick could squeeze into his Elvis biographies, and that material is the basis for his latest deep dive, 'The Colonel and the King.' A visit to the Graceland archive shortly after the publication of 'Last Train to Memphis' revealed a trove of correspondence written by Presley's manager Colonel Tom Parker, the rotund, blustery operator that shepherded the musician's career from the mid-1950s until shortly before his death in 1977. A cursory sift through the material revealed tens of thousands of letters tracing in minute detail the inner workings of Elvis business, from publicity campaigns to the finer points of his recording and movie contracts. These missives exploded the myths around a man who has for decades been derided as a cynical and unscrupulous opportunist that cheapened Presley's legacy while enriching himself at his client's expense. 'I read the letters and thought, 'Oh my God, this is nothing like the person that has been portrayed,'' says Guralnick from his Massachusetts home. What Guralnick found was a scrupulously honest businessman in love with what he called 'the wonderful world of show business' and the art of the handshake deal, in thrall to his star client's talent and willing to do whatever was necessary to keep him front and center. Guralnick's new book is the story of an immigrant scrapper who became a kingmaker with his unerring instinct for the main chance. The first half of the book is Guralnick's narrative; the second half contains a generous selection of Parker letters. Born Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk in Holland, Elvis' manager-to be-dropped out of school at 12. 'His uncle owned a small circus,' Guralnick notes. 'He did every sort of job, like how to site the tent so it would have the maximum visual impact. He knew how to water the elephants, he studied the acrobats.' After a few false starts, he stowed away in 1929 on a ship bound for New Jersey, adopting the name Tom Parker shortly after reaching American soil. There was an Army stint in Hawaii, some odd jobs, and then he found what he loved: the itinerant world of the traveling carnival. At home in this milieu, Parker mastered the art of grassroots promotion, of pulling in large crowds by plastering the town with loud, hyperbolic placards. 'In the world of the carnival and the circus, nobody questioned your pedigree,' says Guralnick. 'Your handshake was your word, and everyone trusted and supported each other.' Parker scouted talent and took them on as clients. By the time he witnessed Elvis performing at the Louisiana Hayride in the summer of 1955, he had already enjoyed big success with singers Hank Snow and Eddy Arnold and had adopted the Colonel moniker. Elvis, he sensed, was different. 'He sees in Elvis someone without limits, a great creative artist with great drive,' says Guralnick, 'and Parker was prepared to throw over all of what he had achieved with Arnold and Snow in order to cultivate this untested talent. And he put everything he had into it.' Even a cursory reading of Parker's voluminous correspondence reveals a man not prone to passing over even the smallest detail in order to please his client. Working with a small staff of loyalists including his trusted associate Tom Diskin, Parker oversaw every aspect of Elvis' business, from meals to publicity to hotel accommodations. Work was play, it consumed his life, and this is exactly how he liked it. 'It is of course these funny letters and my feeling that One must enjoy his work or grow stale keeps me on the go,' he wrote to his friend Paul Wilder in a 1957 letter. He was a tireless proselytizer for his star client. Shortly after signing Elvis to a management deal, he immediately set about convincing the William Morris Agency of the greatness of his charge, writing to agent Harry Kalcheim that Elvis 'has the same type of personality, and talents along the line of James Dean,' and that 'if you ever follow one of my hunches, follow up on this one and you won't go wrong.' Elvis, for his part, deeply appreciated Parker's enthusiasm and loyalty. 'Believe me when I say I will stick with you thru thick and thin and do everything I can to uphold your faith in me,' Presley wrote to Parker in November 1955, shortly after he had secured a recording contract with RCA. 'I love you like a father.' 'Parker defended Elvis against every single entity with which he was dealing,' says Guralnick. 'RCA wanted to turn him into a mainstream artist, like a crooner, and Colonel wouldn't allow that to happen. When Kalsheim asked Parker to rein in Elvis, because he was too wild on stage, Parker refused.' 'The Colonel and the King' debunks some of the most stubborn myths about Parker, refuting the notion that Parker destroyed Elvis' career by force-feeding awful material down his throat. While Parker was a hawk when it came to contract negotiations, he had no say in any artistic decisions and fended off record and film executives with designs on grabbing Elvis' ear. 'He completely removed himself from Elvis' creative life,' says Guralnick. 'It was a partnership of equals, but Parker didn't get involved in that aspect of Elvis' career.' For many Elvis fans of long standing, Parker's hands-off approach as revealed in his letters will be hard to square with the singer's enlistment in the Army in 1958 and his subsequent posting to Germany, which, so the conventional wisdom tells us, killed the first vital phase of his career and kick-started the descent into awful Hollywood movies that effectively turned this erstwhile force of nature into a B-movie hack. Parker endorsed Elvis' Army move — his client wasn't about to be a draft dodger — but the decision to push Elvis into movies was a bilateral strategy that both men agreed was the best way to generate income at a time when Presley was reeling from his mother's death and fretting about money — as was Parker. 'It was actually financial and psychological,' says Guralnick about the left turn that changed Presley's career. 'And so the Colonel needed to reassure him, to say, 'things are even better now than when you went into the Army, and when you get out you'll be making even more money.'' But even 'Clambake' and 'Harum Scarum' couldn't douse Presley's musical artistry and fire. His triumphant 1968 comeback TV special kick-started an artistic renaissance. The hits returned: 'In the Ghetto,' 'Suspicious Minds,' 'Burning Love.' In 1969, Parker booked Elvis for a triumphant series of dates at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. The downside of this was that Parker picked up a nasty gambling habit, while his client soon became dependent on prescription drugs. Presley and Parker grew distant, as Presley insulated himself with sycophants and his behavior both on and offstage grew increasingly erratic. Parker was cast adrift by Elvis' death in 1977, retreating to his Palm Springs home. Ten years later, he was brought back into 'Elvisland' by Priscilla Presley and Elvis Presley Enterprises President Jack Soden, coordinating an Elvis festival at the Las Vegas Hilton and selling all of his memorabilia to the estate. But he never regained his standing at the top of the Elvis hierarchy, much to his dismay. In assessing Parker's legacy, Guralnick thinks that it all comes down to 'the great music he helped Elvis bring to the world — not through any musical contributions of his own, obviously, but by creating the conditions necessary to ensure Elvis' creative independence from the start. Not to mention all the joy he himself delivered and derived from what he always liked to call the Wonderful World of Show Business.'

In ‘The Broken King' Michael Thomas chronicles his experiences with fatherhood, being Black in Boston, and mental health
The memoir also emphasizes place. While he currently lives in Brooklyn, Thomas paints a vivid, indelible portrait of growing up in Boston from birth through his childhood in the '70s. He writes about dealing with racism, driving a taxi cab, and his love for the Celtics and Red Sox. We met at Pavement Coffeehouse's Fenway location, near where he'd attended a Sox game at Fenway two days earlier. In the book Thomas recalls going to Fenway with his father, also a Boston native, who would keep a scorecard and guide his sons skillfully through the crowded park; later, after his father left the family, Thomas writes, he would attend Red Sox games with white friends who looked the other way when he faced Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up At the coffeeshop, Thomas told me going to the past weekend's game was 'melancholic yet peaceful.' Against the cacophony of usual cafe noise, Thomas admitted that writing 'The Broken King' wasn't as peaceful. Advertisement 'This was different from anything I've written,' said Thomas, a Warren Wilson College MFA graduate and Hunter College English professor. When writing his first book, ' Advertisement In addition, he explained as we sipped our coffee, the book was easier to write in part because it was a novel. He felt comfortable in part because he could refer to the novels of his favorite authors, from Ralph Ellison to James Baldwin to Zora Neale Hurston, as models for his own work. And, he added, he could use the book's main character as a proxy to work out issues, leading the characters through a contained story that he mapped out. . With 'The Broken King,' he was older, the world was moving faster, and the memoir form required him to say goodbye to his fictional proxy. 'That's a habit I had to break,' Thomas said. '[I had to] say what I thought and felt directly without artifice, where the only artifice is the craft on the page or illusion.' He also had to change his writing process. In the past, Thomas said, he would handwrite four or five pages over and over before typing them on a computer. He'd then edit them two to three pages at a time while committing them to memory. But that didn't work with the memoir. 'I had a lot of drafts, let's just say that,' Thomas said. 'Writing the same thing over and over again, finding different currents, eliminating proxy, perhaps at times being more journalistic.' He said it was interesting to lay it all out and see different versions of the memoir and what needed to be added, and what had to be left out — even if he didn't want to leave anything out. Advertisement 'I think I've had a full and strangely absurd life,' he said. In six interlocking sections, 'The Broken King' chronicles the author's experiences with father, his estranged older brother, and his two sons. With each section Thomas traverses memory and the sometimes tricky line between 'empirical' fact and personal truth; a relationship that he said people often confuse. As he was writing the book he had to reckon with his own shifting perspective on his personal experiences because, he said, as you live you change, and so does your perspective. 'One perhaps searches oneself and returns changed, and so the perspective on the self is changed, someone has to search themself again,' he said. 'So, how do you make that be still?' He said it made him question how to talk about an experience when doubting his perspective of the memory. 'Can you capture what you believe is the truth, or when you believe you're being honest about what you think or feel — and let it go before you doubt yourself so much that you have to change it?" he asked. The deepest complexities surround his relationship with his father, a vexing figure in his life. 'I can think about it and I can tell stories about him and me,' he said. 'I can sympathize with him and be angry with him and feel compassion and practice it.' But perhaps the hardest compassion to find is for oneself. 'It's been a lot of time trying to convince myself that I'm not here,' Thomas said. 'And so having read some of this in public and having part of it be published, by having people read the advanced copies and they have real reactions — and they have real reactions— I have to admit that I'm here on the planet and I have an effect on people positive or negative.' Advertisement In the book's final section Thomas writes about struggling with not wanting to live. 'I want to die, but I'm always trying to stay,' he writes. 'In these mercury days, there are too many reasons to live and die. I stay because I don't know what's next. Sometimes all I can do is survive.' Thomas will read at Harvard Book Store at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
