Shrugging off concerns about international trade challenges and massive financial penalties owed to the Beer Store, Premier Doug Ford says Ontarians are thirsting for corner-store six-packs. “I had some folks from the U.S. up here yesterday and I told them about the beer battle. They looked at us like we had three heads that you can’t go into a retail store and buy a steak and food and pick up (beer),” Ford said Wednesday. While beer is already widely available at hundreds of Ontario supermarkets, the premier was defending his controversial decision to unilaterally legislate an end to a 10-year agreement with the Beer Store signed in 2015. Breaching that accord — inked by former premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals to expand beer and wine sales to 450 supermarkets — could cost $1 billion in compensation to the brewing giants that control the Beer Store. Because the parent corporations of Molson, Labatt, and Sleeman are based in the U.S., Belgium, and Japan, the Ontario … [Read more...] about Ford dismisses concerns about cost of bringing beer to corner stores

BERLIN: Jonas Hofmann hit the first hat-trick of his career on Sunday (Oct 21) as Borussia Moenchengladbach went second in the Bundesliga with a 4-0 thrashing of his former club Mainz. After their stunning 3-0 win at defending champions Bayern Munich three weeks ago, this was another big statement from Dieter Hecking and his side, who moved up into second place behind Borussia Dortmund. Gladbach's victory leaves Bayern fourth in the table despite Munich's 3-1 win at Wolfsburg on Saturday with ten men after Arjen Robben was sent off for a second yellow card. "It's a bit unrealistic for us at the moment, but the fans are allowed to dream," said Hofmann when asked if Gladbach are realistic title challengers - 31 years after last winning the Bundesliga. "If things keep going this well, then we'll all be pretty happy here." Hofmann, 26, spent the 2014/15 season on loan at Mainz before joining Gladbach from Dortmund in January 2016 and the box-to-box midfielder shone at Borussia … [Read more...] about Football: Hofmann hits hat-trick against ex-club Mainz as Gladbach go second

An international group of researchers working jointly on a study of material from the Yucatán Peninsula's famous Chicxulub impact crater has pieced together the chemical composition of meteoritic dust with that of the geological belt pertaining to the dinosaur extinction. There appear to be clear signs that the thin layer of dust left over on Earth's crust 66 million years ago originated from an impact event at this very spot. "We are now at the level of coincidence that geologically doesn't happen without causation", says geoscientist Sean Gulick from the University of Texas. Joining efforts with fellow geoscientist Joanna Morgan from Imperial College London, Gulick led an expedition in 2016 to retrieve samples of shattered rock lumps from over half a kilometre into the crater's peak circle. Measurements conducted by four different labs have hinted at a curious timeline which suggests an abrupt drop in dinosaur populations over a very short time, thought to be just a decade … [Read more...] about Dust From Asteroid That Allegedly Ended Dinosaur Era Dots I’s on Impact Event Theory

KINSHASA: In the Democratic Republic of Congo, they call him "Doctor Miracle" for his surgical skill and dedication in helping women overcome the injuries and trauma of sexual abuse and rape. Denis Mukwege is a crusading gynaecologist who has spent more than two decades treating appalling injuries inflicted on women in DRC, whose work was the subject of an acclaimed 2015 film titled: The Man Who Mends Women. A father to five children, the tireless 63-year-old is an outspoken critic of the abuse of women in war who has repeatedly accused the world of failing to act. The 2018 Nobel Peace Prize co-winner had been repeatedly nominated for his work with gang rape victims from the conflicts that have ravaged his homeland. Mukwege has called on the world to take a tougher line on rape as a weapon of war. "We have been able to draw a red line against chemical weapons, biological weapons and nuclear arms," he told AFP in 2016. "Today we must also draw a red line against rape as … [Read more...] about Denis Mukwege: Brave healer of DR Congo’s most horrific wounds
