On Wednesday morning, all that was left of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment on Columbia University’s lawn was a patchwork of green and yellowed grasses, marking where tents
The 2014 NFL Draft wouldn’t happen for months, but according to Steve Gera, at least one Cleveland Browns executive had his mind made up on one of its most polarizing prospects.
A special assistant to head coach Rob Chudzinski, Gera had been in the NFL for more than five years. The San Diego Chargers had hired the former Marine to “do analytics” in 2007. Gera’s qualifications included a recently obtained MBA from San Diego State and the fact that he’d
Apart from the northward advance of killer bees in the 1980s, nothing has struck as much fear into the hearts of headline writers as the ascent of artificial intelligence.
Ever since the computer Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997, humans have faced the prospect that their supremacy over machines is merely temporary. Back then, though, it was easy to show that AI failed miserably in many realms of human expertise, from diagnosing disease to transcribing speech.
Having a list of new things you’d both really like to try before you die is a great way to keep sex exciting.
Tie-up-games, blindfolds, spanking, sex toys, roleplaying fantasies: all of these things commonly feature on a sex bucket list and are very much enjoyed by couples.
But there are other top choices that nearly always don’t live up to expectations.

In late January, the internet went all “Baby shark, doo doo doo.”
Video of a purported newborn white shark, taken by a drone off the coast of California, went viral, garnering over a million views and a spate of somewhat breathless news coverage. The shark measured an estimated 1.5 meters long and appeared to be shedding a whitish film, possibly from recent birth, Carlos Gauna and Phillip Sternes described January 29 in Environmental Biology of Fishes.
Things may be awkward in the royal family thanks to tension between the Prince of Wales and Duke of Sussex, who, despite once being close, have been warring over the past few years.
While they were close for years, even acting as Best Men for one another at their respective weddings, the brothers have been separated by a rift that is said to have begun four years ago.
In March 2019, William reportedly threw Harry and Meghan out of Kensington
A probe is underway to work out why thousands of NHS staff didn’t bother getting Covid and flu vaccines.
The health service has paid ‘behavioural insight’ consultants £50,000 to explore medics’ attitudes to vaccination in the North West, West Midlands and London.
Just four in 10 frontline NHS workers in England got the latest Covid booster jab and the figure falls to just one per cent at some trusts in those parts of the country. Meanwhile, fewer than half had
LONDON — Rishi Sunak’s daughters might be climate-conscious — but they aren’t “eco-zealots,” the British prime minister insisted Wednesday.
Sunak used an LBC radio phone-in to mount a defense of his government’s decision to this week green-light hundreds of new oil and gas licenses in the North Sea, amid a backlash from environmental campaigners warning it flies in the face of a promise to reduce the U.K.’s carbon emissions to net-zero by 2050.

Three years ago, while the nation’s attention was on the 2020 presidential election, voters in Oregon took a dramatic step back from America’s long-running War on Drugs.

LONDON — It’s been quite a year for Kemi Badenoch, propelled from little-known minister to Tory leadership hopeful, to Cabinet big-hitter and beyond.
The U.K. business and trade secretary used last July’s Conservative Party leadership contest to launch herself from relative obscurity to political stardom, and 12 months later finds herself firmly seated within the top tier of Rishi Sunak’s ministers.
For many, Badenoch is now the next great hope for British conservatism, her right-wing sensibilities, dry sense of humor
