Many of the players left over from the Mike Zimmer era helped new coach Kevin O’Connell. Plus, some notes from the Minnesota camp.

Sports

The Padres and Nationals agreed to the biggest trade of the summer before Tuesday’s deadline, with San Diego star outfielder Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell. In exchange, Washington receives Luke Voit and a handful of young players: shortstop C.J. Abrams, left-hander MacKenzie Gore, outfielders Robert Hassell III and James Wood, and right-hander Jarlin Susana. The Padres have made a splash habit during A.J. Preller’s term as CEO. This one is the biggest, as it brings San Diego a 23-year-old who is on the Hall of Fame track and under team control for two more seasons. The Nationals, forRead News

The most unbreakable sports records that are still being chased: Jerry Rice, Wilt Chamberlain, Wayne Gretzky stand out

On 2022-08-03 By C86 Team

Sports

Arguing the most impressive sports records is a difficult task: Does longevity matter? How about a one-game or one-season blast that has stood the test of time? Are older records just as good? How can we distribute the changes that significantly changed several games? Imagine going back 30 years and watching NBA players pull up 3-pointers on two-and-one fast breaks on a regular basis. On the other hand, imagine sitting down for a game tonight and seeing a baseball player hit his 2,000th consecutive game or try to steal a base every time he goes up. It just didn’t happenRead News

Magnolia species lost to science for 97 years rediscovered in Haiti

Science

A conservation team has rediscovered a native magnolia in a forest in Haiti for the first time since it was lost to science in 1925. Boasting pure white flowers and uniquely shaped leaves, the Northern Haiti magnolia (Magnolia emarginata) was originally found in the Morne Colombo forest, which has since been destroyed by deforestation. It was considered endangered and on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species, and its discovery sparked new hope for the rewilding potential of Haiti’s forests. Due to the rapid decline of forest area – only 1% of the country’s originalRead News

Northeastern waives the postdoctoral requirement for science employees

On 2022-08-03 By C86 Team

Science

Northeastern University’s College of Science is forgoing postdoctoral fellowship experience for many faculty applicants through a new hiring model called Invest. Invest’s premise is that too many strong scientists leave academia after their PhDs because they will spend years in unstable, low-paying post-doc jobs before landing a faculty position. So by eliminating the postdoc requirement (real or perceived), Northeastern’s Invest program aims to attract a larger and more promising pool of faculty candidates. Other program features: Scientists from all disciplines are invited to apply, and a university (not departmental) committee reviews applications for possible interdisciplinary fellowships and joint appointments betweenRead News

How does the Global South policy of non-alignment and solidarity explain South Africa’s position on Ukraine?

Western commentators have described the war in Ukraine as a turning point in international relations that strengthened the post-Cold War international system. In the Global South, the war is equally historic, restoring foreign policy independence and inequality as geopolitical tensions rise between the West and Russia (and China). The Russian occupation of Ukraine reveals more than the vision of the new Russian regime to reestablish the empire. He stated that most countries in the Global South – with market economies and democratic political systems and values such as those recognized by the West – prefer not to take part evenRead News

Upcoming Star Wars Show Will Criticize Donald Trump’s Politics, Actor Reveals

Although Star Wars is a sci-fi fantasy franchise packed with action and humor, it’s just a decoration. At its core, Star Wars is a narrative based on family, politics and religion; and despite the complexity of those themes, it’s one of the many reasons why the franchise has resonated with audiences for generations. That tradition looks set to continue with Disney+’s new Star Wars show, Andor. Set to debut on September 21st, Andor is a Rogue One spin-off prequel starring Diego Luna who reprises his role as rebel operative, Cassian Andor.

Why dance music is out of step with female and non-binary DJs

On 2022-08-03 By C86 Team

Music

In the 1970s and 80s, dance music was born from minorities—the LGBTQ+ communities and Black and Brown people in Chicago, New York, and Detroit—as a means of escapism and freedom from a world that wasn’t built for them. The disenfranchised created a microcosm to express themselves and feel safe. However, if you look at top-tier DJs and festival lineups in the UK in 2022, this is not the case. Calvin Harris, Fatboy Slim, David Guetta – white men dominate the modern electronic scene and mirror the world we live in, and those who are not part of the canon faceRead News

“American Mariachi” is a wonderful, must-see musical that relies on heart, family, and music rather than giant props, an endless series of intricate sets that showcase the size of a small town in whirlwind choreography.
