Little did anyone know at the time that this sketch would end up having a negative impact on a politician’s upcoming campaign. A year after the episode first aired, a Mississippi city council candidate named Rick James noticed that his campaign signs were being stolen and defaced with a specific catchphrase. People would also yell that exact phrase at him when he was dropping his daughter off at school. James hadn’t seen the show before and was confused about what prompted all this until a friend told him about the sketch later on

Lodge, who was then employed as the manager of the Harvard Medical School Morgue, removed human remains, including organs, brains, skin, hands, faces, dissected heads, and other parts, from donated cadavers after they had been used for research and teaching purposes but before they could be disposed of according to the anatomical gift donation agreement between the donor and the school. Lodge took the remains without the knowledge or permission of his employer, the donor, or the donor’s family, and transport the remains to his home in New Hampshire.

Spanning 58 years, this is believed to be the longest-running cold case solved in the UK, and possibly the world. In November, Smith and her colleagues won Investigations Team of the Year at the National Conference for Senior Investigating Officers. The whole thing still feels extraordinary to her. “It just doesn’t feel real,” she says. “It’s forever giving me goose bumps.”

Frazer and Park trawled through records of the rumbles created by earthquakes as they passed through the Earth's mantle below Bermuda. These vibrations can move through dense materials much faster, while less dense matter slows them down, so the waveforms they create can give us a sense of what's going on down there.

In this case, the seismologists found evidence that a layer of relatively low-density rock, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) thick, is doing the job a rising mantle plume usually would: uplifting the crust with its buoyancy to create a swell that holds the archipelago just above its crystalline waters.

Experiences of racial discrimination are consistently linked with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as physical ailments such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.

Young adults who faced discrimination frequently—at least a few times per month—were around 25% more likely to be diagnosed with a mental health disorder and twice as likely to develop severe psychological distress than those who hadn’t experienced discrimination or did less often, according to a 2021 study in the journal Pediatrics.

Demands for Hindu Rashtra and mass deportation of Muslims were raised at an event backed by the Union Ministry of Culture and Delhi's Tourism Ministry earlier this month. Union ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Shripad Naik and Sanjay Seth as well as Delhi tourism minister Kapil Mishra even spoke at the 'Sanatan Rashtra Shankhnad Mahotsav', which was organised by Hindutva organisation Sanatan Sanstha at Delhi's Bharat Mandapam on 13-14 December.

The demands made at the event ranged from "mass conversion of Muslims" to "throwing away 25 per cent of India's Muslims outside the country" and changing the Constitution of India to make it a Hindu Nation.

Provincial governments don’t subsidize costs for international students, so their tuition is higher, generating additional revenue that has made all of our programming financially viable. These newcomers do not replace domestic students. In fact, they help us make more programs available to everyone. They also bring global perspectives to our classrooms—an important addition in rural areas like ours, which are generally less culturally diverse than cities.

The Alberta government’s willingness to invoke the notwithstanding clause to force compliance ended the strike, but it also exposed limitations to the power of organized labour. What choice do Albertans have now but to respond?

Talk of a general strike has begun to spread through the province. The Alberta Federation of Labour stands at the forefront of this call to action, with President Gil McGowan voicing his desire to treat an attack on the rights of some workers as an attack on the rights of all. This idea of mass coordinated action has been circulating with growing eagerness among union leaders and frustrated workers alike, demonstrated for example by the gathering of labour supporters at Ironworkers Hall in Edmonton.

Even academics who study wave dynamics are left scratching their head when they see footage of this phenomenon in action. One such wave-dynamics expert who spoke to the documentary crew, Arnold Van Rooijen of the University of Western Australia, suggested the effect was likely due to an exact alignment between reef geomorphology and water depth.

He initially thought it was a rare, one-off event until the crew insisted they had captured the wave happening several times under similar conditions and at different points in time. Nature does weird stuff all the time, but most of that weird stuff is usually a one-off event caused by a confluence of factors that will likely never come together in that exact way ever again. At least not while anyone’s observing it.

A few years ago, on a random Tuesday night Facetime call, my grandma shared a story she had never told me before. I thought I’d heard all her stories, several times over. To my surprise, she told me that she worked at an abortion clinic in New York in the 1970s. She didn’t offer this as some grand revelation. In fact, she was far too casual for my liking. I just stared at her, half shocked, half amused that I’d spent years working as a reproductive justice advocate without realizing she’d done it first. My grandma didn’t and still doesn’t think of herself as radical. To her, it was simple: she was a nurse who cared for women who needed abortions. It was what needed to be done, so she did it. This was just another one of her many jobs in a decades-long career as an operating room nurse.

When my grandma recounted her time at the abortion clinic, she remembered one patient in particular: her neighbor’s daughter. Terrified to see her family friend in the waiting room, my grandma took her hand and stayed with her throughout the procedure. She cried telling me this story, heartbroken that my generation faces the erosion of rights she once quietly protected.

These ancient groups had to evolve because they faced adversity. The human body had to strengthen its defense mechanisms and energy output, as per Archaeology Mag. And, as a result, they passed down these more robust genes to the future generations, perhaps inspiring, in considering that the toughest times that we might face could pass down a positive, rather than the trauma of the negative.”

Gunmen killed nine people and wounded 10 others in an attack at a township outside Johannesburg, police said on Sunday, in the second mass shooting in South Africa in December.
