My role was to transport men and integration equipment around which consisted of me traveling constantly. I sailed around the Mediterranean Sea for three years, and during that time I started collecting sentimental objects from the military. Over the years, I moved back to my hometown in Colchester, England, but I would also spend time traveling for work. Along the way, I had found and collected a few nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare suits, as well as decontamination equipment....

I was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but was able to travel a lot because of my parents line of work. Throughout my childhood I experienced lots of different cultures. I saw how differently women were treated around the world. I became resentful of the limitations females faced in my own country. I have always questioned things. I was always the troublemaker in school and at college. I always asked controversial questions and debated other students....

Boston (11-3) enters the matchup on a seven-game winning streak after securing a come-from-behind victory over the Thunder on Monday.

It could have been the fourth down Purdue converted up 35-16 in the third quarter instead of taking a chip-shot field goal. Maybe it was David Blough’s three third-quarter touchdown passes. It could have been the interception where Frankie Williams fell to his knees, got up, grabbed a tipped pass and returned it to the six yard line. Maybe it was Markell Jones’ rub-it-in touchdown in the final minutes....

The Terriers were fancied by few heading into the 2016-17 campaign, but David Wagner has overseen a remarkable reversal in fortune at the John Smith’s Stadium.

The domoic acid, a toxin released during a red tide algal bloom, may have made its way into the seal’s system if they fed in the bloom’s vicinity and caused swelling in their brains and hearts, leading to increased aggression, Brett Glasby, wildlife management program coordinator at Two Oceans Aquarium, told local outlet News24. “Domoic acid is produced by the phytoplankton genus Pseudonitzschia, a type of diatom,” Pete Strutton, a biological oceanographer at the University of Tasmania, told Newsweek....

Disclaimer: These daily previews are mostly about fun, so don’t try to correct any implausible case of Monta Ellis having it all, Jose Calderon figuring out locker rooms or Duke Danny Ferry being resurrected. Best-case scenario: Is Danny Ferry available? Not the Danny Ferry who serves as general manager of the Atlanta Hawks. I’m talking about the guy from Duke. You remember the stat line from his senior year with the Blue Devils: 22....

Toy maker Takara originally introduced the gadget in Japan a year ago as a toy that would appeal to adults as well as children. Despite the steep $124 price tag, Takara has so far sold 300,000 units. Teenage girls and young women were probably driving sales, say market watchers. Perhaps they liked being able to record their pup’s barks for up to 12 hours, to find out if it got lonely while they were at work or school....

This may sound like a radical statement, one to induce a reaction of anxiety, perhaps even fear, in people’s hearts. But the Caliphate which I refer to is not the cruel, barbaric leadership of the so-called Islamic State, but a Caliph that promotes peace and pluralism. We live in an age of extremism. Historical and religious concepts like “caliphate” have become associated in mainstream thought with terrorism, violence, and Muslim insurrectionism....

Aizawl FC, who are three points clear of Mohun Bagan at the summit, will win the league for the first time in their history if they manage to get themselves at least a point from the game at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Shillong. But Khalid Jamil’s side were miffed at All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) decision to appoint four referees from Bengal to officiate the high-voltage game, with Mohun Bagan in the running to win the title....

RE-LIVE the action: Mohun Bagan 2-1 East Bengal Trevor Morgan kept his favoured diamond formation at bay as he chose to go with a 4-2-3-1. Wedson Anselme was pushed to start after he had barely recovered from a groin injury. Chris Payne and Robin Singh were left on the bench, the latter nursing a groin strain of his own.

Minerva Punjab started off on a sketchy note as Sony Norde showed flashes of his brilliance down the left flank. It only took sixteen minutes for the Mariners to break the deadlock.
