I was behind the wheel of my Studebaker when I realized I did have a problem. It was 1957. I was driving on a one-way street in Chicago. Suddenly, I found myself staring at a car coming at me from the opposite direction. Fortunately, the car stopped short just a few inches in front of me, so no one was hurt. The driver pushed my car over to the side while I went to call Bory, who came to take me home....

It was a cold night of pain and anguish in Johannesburg, when Ghana - Africa’s only surviving side - suffered a penalty shootout (4-2) defeat to Uruguay in the quarter-finals. The experience was more painful considering Ghana missed a last-gasp penalty in extra-time to win the game as Asamoah Gyan blasted his strike against the crossbar. Uruguay striker Luis Suarez had slapped out a goal-bound Dominic Adiyiah header, drawing a penalty for the Black Stars....

Normal now has a new definition in this state which went ahead with same-sex weddings after a last-minute emergency appeal to the Supreme Court was denied. This city of intellectuals and uber-liberals that raced to be the first to usher in legal gay marriage put on a raucous celebration, replete with a brass band playing Dixie, American flags and impromptu renditions of “The Star Spangled Banner” and “This Land Is Your Land,” all on the cramped front lawn of the Cambridge City Hall....

This is happening despite the fact that we don’t currently know there will even be a shortage of TP. As The Los Angeles Times put it, “Is there in fact any risk to the nation’s toilet paper pipeline? The short answer: no.” A supply chains expert at Harvard Business School told the paper that manufacturers are “still cranking this stuff out.” The panic shopping is understandable. Officials are warning about long-term disruptions to our way of life, and people want to be ready for whatever that long haul may entail....

If things went our way and we did what we need to do tomorrow, we could again be top of the league....

The home side went into this tie resting Sumeet Passi and replacing him with Seityasen Singh. Juan Quero reprised his role as creator in chief for the side, while Sasa Kolunija and Shane McFaul formed a familiar central core of the Shivajians. Halicharan Narzary began in attack for the Reds, who’d put five away against Mumbai FC in their last home tie. Shillong Lajong, arriving into Pune after a testing draw in Goa against Churchill Brothers, made just one change to the set-up in the form of Rupert Nongrum in place of Fabio....

Buffon breaks caps record Leicester City are the current Premier League champions, but the £17 million midfielder arrived at a club in turmoil, with manager Claudio Ranieri sacked shortly after he arrived as they languished near the relegation zone. Craig Shakespeare has steadied the ship while Ndidi has become a key cog in Leicester’s first team, with some commentators suggesting he plays a similar role at the France international, who moved to Chelsea from the King Power in the summer....

I have spent the past 20 years working on governance, elections and peace-building internationally. In 2018, the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization where I lead our international programs, released a study on the causes of electoral violence around the world and best practices for prevention. Our focus has largely been on preventing election violence in countries in Africa. But here in the U.S., this work is becoming increasingly relevant....

Ice Cube began the video, speaking vaguely about systemic racism. “There’s systems in place, as we all know. It ain’t cause we ain’t doing what we’re supposed to do as Black people, because, of course we all could do better. There’s st that we need to do to clean up ourselves and our community, but besides that st, the system is f**ked up,” he said. The rapper then expressed skepticism about both major political parties and called on the Black community to work together against systemic racism....

Orca, a new geothermal power plant near Reykjavik, Iceland, will capture around 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. In the process known as direct air capture, carbon dioxide is sucked from the atmosphere and stored underground, emitting cleaner air as a result.

According to the International Energy Agency, direct air capture plants globally remove around 9,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year....
