Kenneth Hilborn taught history and international relations at the University of London, Ont. from 1961 to 1997. After his death in 2013 at age 79, Hilborn’s estate bequeathed $1 million to Western, including $750,000 to the history department for four undergraduate and two graduate awards that have been awarded since 2016. In 2019, scholars began calling on the school to intervene, linking the scholarships to the universities’ legitimization of far-right beliefs....

Les obsèques du dernier dirigeant de l’Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques (URSS), Mikhaïl Gorbatchev, ont lieu samedi 3 septembre à Moscou, sans le président Vladimir Poutine, signe de l’héritage controversé du père de la perestroïka en Russie. Figure politique majeure du XXe siècle, Mikhaïl Gorbatchev est mort mardi après-midi, à l’âge de 91 ans, des suites d’une “longue et grave maladie”, selon l’hôpital où il était soigné. Il est entré dans l’histoire en accélérant à contrecœur l’effondrement de l’Union soviétique en 1991, alors qu’il tentait de la sauver par des réformes démocratiques et économiques, mettant ainsi fin à la guerre froide....

“I reported last year (opens in new tab) that the new AirPods Pro would arrive in 2022, and now I’m being told that Wednesday will be their big reveal,” reads the latest Power On newsletter from the trusted tech tipster.

Legionnaires’, a rare bacterial lung infection, has been identified as the underlying cause of four deaths at a clinic in the city of San Miguel de Tucuman, officials say. When the outbreak was first identified in Tucuman, doctors tested sufferers for Covid-19, influenza and hantavirus, but all were ruled out. (AFP file) Argentine health officials said four people at a clinic in the northwestern province of Tucuman died of Legionnaires’ disease, a relatively rare bacterial lung infection....

Ce fameux système en 3-4-3 et son animation, à l’opposé de ce que proposait l’OM de Jorge Sampaoli, n’ont pas encore vraiment été remis en cause. N’en déplaise à Reims, Brest, Nantes, Nice (en totale reconstruction) Clermont et Auxerre, Marseille doit encore affronter un adversaire de sa taille en championnat, même s’il a été coincé par le club breton. Tudor (et leur système), ont une expérience européenne de seulement 8 matchs de groupe de la Ligue Europa, à l’exclusion des séries éliminatoires....

Eligibility criteria will be expanded on Tuesday (September 13) based on a recommendation from Canada’s expert panel on drugs. Trikafta is a triple combination drug of ivacaftor, tezacaftor and elexacaftor, used to treat cystic fibrosis in patients who have at least one F508del mutation. It has been shown to improve lung function and quality of life as well as reduce the frequency of lung attacks.

John Proule, 20, of Lake Country, BC has been charged with second-degree murder, RCMP said in a statement Sunday. Police said a second suspect, who was also taken into custody Saturday, was released without charge because they determined he was not directly involved.

The High Resolution Imaging Experiment, or HIRISE, is a powerful camera that takes pictures of features as small as a desk from orbit. The image here shows a region less than 1 km (less than a mile) in diameter, and MRO was about 197 km above the surface when the image was taken. HiRISE scientists say barchan dunes are common on both Earth and Mars. Typically, these dunes have a very distinctive shape and are important because they can tell scientists about the environment in which they formed and the direction of winds in a particular location....

Arabian mare Essie was selling earlier than expected and co-owner Siri Ingebrigtsen was out of town on business. Left to deal with the sudden turn of events was 19-year-old student Arianne Fournier, who was on duty just in case. But he had the guidance and support of veterinarian Andrea Kelly, who, via Facetime, guided Fournier to the successful delivery of healthy twin foals. “I don’t think I would be as calm (without her),” Fournier recalled....

That the hit meant so much is a result of both the pressures of playing meaningful September baseball and a collective dry spell hitting with runners in scoring position. Bichette’s 108.7 m.p.h. liner that provided the difference in a 4-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, on the 10th pitch of a grinding at-bat against Duane Underwood Jr., was the Blue Jays’ first in 10 tries Saturday. In the seven games preceding this one, against the Los Angeles Angels and Chicago Cubs and Friday’s series opener at picturesque PNC Park, they had gone just 9-for-47, a ....

The Artemis 1 mission, which aims to send an unmanned NASA Orion spacecraft and a Space Launch System rocket to the Moon, was delayed after the rocket leaked fuel, forcing controllers to abort the second attempt this week. Monday’s first attempt to send a crew capsule with test dummies into lunar orbit was also thwarted by a hydrogen leak elsewhere on the 98-meter-long NASA-built rocket. After the latest failure, mission managers decided to pull the rocket off the pad and move it to the hangar for further repairs and system updates....

These drinks can also contribute to insulin resistance and fat build-up in the liver, which affect liver health. “Intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, a putative risk factor for obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, can cause insulin resistance and inflammation that are strongly implicated in liver carcinogenesis,” said Mr. Zhao. Study restrictions The researchers cautioned that the study is observational and was not designed to determine whether sugary drinks actually cause liver cancer or whether drinking sugary drinks is an indicator of other lifestyle factors that lead to liver cancer....
