PHILADELPHIA — For one night, Ian Jackson provided a glimpse of the player — and the point guard — Rick Pitino recruited him to become. That has started to become a trend for the sophomore guard, too. Jackson collected 18 points on a season-best seven field goals during St. John’s 86-79 victory over Villanova at...
A boy has been attacked by a shark in Sydney’s east and is in a critical condition after suffering serious injuries to both legs.
The boy, believed to be aged about 12, was pulled from the water at Shark beach at Neilsen Park, in the eastern suburb of Vaucluse, on Sunday afternoon.
Newly appointed Cambridge professor says feat would accelerate scientific knowledge by an order of magnitude
Dark, hungry and inescapable: black holes are often portrayed as the ultimate cosmic villains.
But now astronomers are preparing to capture a movie of a supermassive black hole in action for the first time, in observations that could help reveal another side to these elusive – and perhaps misunderstood – space objects.
Pioneering scheme hopes species that thrived for thousands of years in Irish waters can do so again
The dinghy slowed to a stop at a long line of black bobbing baskets and David Lawlor reached out to inspect the first one.
Inside lay 60 oysters, all with their shells closed, shielding the life within. “They look great,” beamed Lawlor. So did their neighbours in the next basket and the ones after that, all down the line of 300 baskets, totalling 18,000 oysters.
Since I first tested sunrise alarm clocks last winter, I’ve come to suspect that there’s no such thing as getting up on the wrong side of bed. What we ought to be worried about is waking up on the wrong side of dawn.
During summer (and other times of the year, for late risers), the sunrise begins to rouse us before we wake up. The brain kicks into gear and sends signals to initiate all sorts of bodily processes, from metabolism to hormone release, which helps us to feel ready for the day. It’s a fundament of our circadian rhythm – and we miss out on it whenever we wake before it gets light.
With tens of thousands thought to be arriving each year, the ‘southern route’ is becoming more perilous and extortionary
On the evening of 5 January, residents driving through the suburb of Mulbarton in south Johannesburg saw five young men in the street dressed only in underwear.
They were later picked up along with seven other young men by South African police. Police said two were in a car involved in a high-speed chase. A 47-year-old Ethiopian man was arrested and charged with kidnapping and failing to stop when police instructed him to. The 12 men, originally thought to be teenagers but said by police to be 22 to 33, were charged with being in South Africa illegally.
Food produce and other waste has been littering Sussex coastline as capsized shipping containers wash ashore
Coral Evans was walking along the beach in Brighton on Tuesday evening when she came across an unfamiliar sight.
“Hundreds of dust masks had washed up, along with single-use plastic gloves and cans of dried milk,” she said. “It was odd to see in winter – because nothing surprises us in summertime with the amount of people on the beach.”
Tony Cholerton created Robovacc to inoculate a timid tiger at London zoo – but says it could administer jabs to badgers
It began with the tiger who wouldn’t come to tea. Cinta was so shy that she refused to feed when keepers at London zoo were around, and staff wondered how they would ever administer the young animal’s vaccinations without traumatising her.
So Tony Cholerton, a zookeeper who had been a motorcycle engineer for many years, invented Robovacc – a machine to quickly administer vital jabs without the presence of people.
Call for UK state to step in after Gupta-owned Dalzell works in Scotland unable to produce metal for three new warships
A shipbuilder for the Royal Navy faces an uncertain wait for the steel to build three warships because of a shortage of cash at the Scottish steel mill that has won the contract.
Liberty Steel Dalzell in Scotland has been unable to start production in earnest because there is “no cashflow to buy slab”, despite an order to supply 34,000 tonnes of metal plates to build fleet solid support (FSS) ships for the navy, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.
23-year-old dismantles unwell Italian 7-6 (1), 6-4, 6-1
First Grand Slam appearance as a direct qualifying entrant
For a few fleeting moments inside the vast John Cain Arena, it seemed like Arthur Fery had missed his opportunity. The 23-year-old’s attempts to serve out an excellent set against, the 20th seed at the Australian Open, Flavio Cobolli, had ended painfully. He quickly found himself serving down 5-6 against one of the best players in the world with his back to the wall.
These circumstances often do not favour the more inexperienced, lower-ranked players, but in one of the biggest matches of his career Fery made his own luck as he rose to the occasion and delivered the first great upset of the Australian Open, dismantling Cobolli 7-6 (1), 6-4, 6-1 to reach the second round for the first time.
Still, Toure had no idea this year would be so memorable as the leading tackler for a national championship finalist. Miami had a pretty crowded linebacker room, but Hetherman was convinced that Toure would be a difference-maker from their time together.
