Toronto police Chief Mark Saunders , the first Black leader of Canada’s largest municipal police service, is resigning July 31 — a surprise move that comes with eight months left in his contract and amid growing calls for police reform locally and across North America. Monday’s sudden announcement, which has stunned both rank and file and higher-ups in his own force, comes at a time of upheaval for Saunders’ profession. Just three days ago, Saunders — an officer of 37 years, all of them in Toronto — took a knee as a sign of solidarity with protesters decrying police use of force against Black citizens and amid growing calls to “ defund” police organizations . By then, he knew he was leaving. Days before, Saunders had advised the Toronto police board and Mayor John Tory that he was stepping down early — despite the civilian police board last summer extending his contract into a sixth year, to April 2021, so he could continue his central task of modernizing the force. But … [Read more...] about Toronto police Chief Mark Saunders — the force’s first Black leader — steps down, stunning his own staff

Walt Disney Co will postpone the May 1 theatrical release of Marvel movie Black Widow to a future date because of the coronavirus outbreak, the company said in a statement on Tuesday. Black Widow was meant to kick off the next batch of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies known as Phase Four. READ: Disney, Netflix and Warner Bros. have shutdown productions due to COVID-19 Since establishing the MCU, Marvel has released its films in phases, which represent an inter-connected series of films and usually culminate in an Avengers team-up. What happens in one film usually has an impact on other film in the same phase, which raises the possibility that a delay on the release of Black Widow could affect the entire Phase Four. Films in Phase Four currently include The Eternals, Shang-Chi And The Legend Of the Ten Rings, Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, a sequel to Spider-Man: Far From Home and Thor: Love And Thunder. Besides Black Widow, another Phase Four … [Read more...] about Disney delays Marvel’s long-awaited Black Widow debut due to coronavirus

British broadcaster Channel 4 has said that it will no longer work with Ant Middleton , the star of its successful SAS: Who Dares Wins show, after his comments on the Black Lives Matter movement and the coronavirus pandemic. Middleton has become a major television star in the UK after first appearing in military survival show SAS: Who Dares Wins in 2015. Since then, he has gone on to front solo projects for Channel 4, including Escape and Extreme Everest . He recently fronted Ant Middleton & Rebel Wilson: Straight Talking for Sky. But Middleton raised eyebrows last year over comments he made about Black Lives Matter and Covid-19.

BUXTON, England: A rural British police force has bemused the public with unusual responses to the coronavirus crisis including dyeing a lagoon black to dissuade people from going there and flying drones over a remote beauty spot to shame walkers. Officers based in Buxton, a small town in Derbyshire in central England, said on Facebook that they had received reports of people congregating by the water which fills a deep hole in a disused quarry. The spot is known to locals as "the Blue Lagoon" for the Caribbean-like shade of the water. READ: UK to use firefighters to deliver food, collect bodies in coronavirus crisis "The location is dangerous and this type of gathering is in contravention of the current instruction of the UK Government," the police said in a post on Wednesday. They said they had used water dye to make the lagoon look less appealing, a tactic employed in the past to keep people away. The post included a series of striking images of sunlit blue water with … [Read more...] about Black dye and drones: English police bemuse public with coronavirus response

In 1974, Stephen Hawking theorized that the universe's darkest gravitational behemoths, black holes, were not the pitch-black star swallowers astronomers imagined, but they spontaneously emitted light — a phenomenon now dubbed Hawking radiation. The problem is, no astronomer has ever observed Hawking's mysterious radiation, and because it is predicted to be very dim, they may never will. Which is why scientists today are creating their own black holes . Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology did just that. They created a black hole analog out of a few thousand atoms . They were trying to confirm two of Hawking's most important predictions, that Hawking radiation arises from nothing and that it does not change in intensity over time, meaning it's stationary. "A black hole is supposed to radiate like a black body, which is essentially a warm object that emits a constant infrared radiation ," study co-author Jeff Steinhauer, an associate professor … [Read more...] about Lab-grown black hole behaves just like Stephen Hawking said it would
