The European Union seeks its strategy, article by Ruth Ferrero-Turrión

Like an exhalation they have already passed one hundred days from the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. During this time Russia has already gained control, according to Zelensky, 20% of the entire Ukrainian territory. He has also made the West work together to counter the attack. But, above all, he has managed to make the NATO find a clear reason to continue to exist. Soon it seems that it will have two more members, Finland and Sweden, to increase their military capabilities and their borders with the Russian Federation. Russian assertiveness has also caused an acceleration of the processes of militarization of European societies who now no longer hesitate and decide to join projects to increase security and defense in fear of a potential threat from the East. ...

The Alps are getting greener — but that’s not a good thing

The European Alps are an iconic, crescent-shaped mountain range associated with images of wintry peaks and snow-covered villages. But new research confirms a worrying trend about the winter-sports destination: The Alps are turning from white to green. In a study published Thursday in the journal Science, Researchers report that a process called “greening” is occurring over large swaths of the Alps. While this term is sometimes used to refer to making a space more environmentally friendly, in this case, it refers to an increase in plant growth and spread which can accelerate climate change. Greening can potentially cause a few positive consequences, but the negative consequences outweigh these effects, said Sabine Rumpf, the study's first author and a professor at the University of Bas...

Five key moments from the Celtics’ wild season – The Boston Globe

The scene after the Knicks beat the Celtics on Opening Night was a wild one.The game itself was a doozy — a double OT thriller in which Brown dropped 46 points coming out of COVID quarantine, but Julius Randle put up 35 points and led a 10-6 second overtime period that set up the Knicks with a 1-0 record.Get Court SenseBounce around the NBA with our Celtics-centric look at the latest happenings on and off the court.The 1-4 road trip — Dec. 3-10The Celtics scuffled out of the gate, but right before a West Coast road trip, Robert Williams blocked Georges Niang in the corner as the buzzer sounded and the Celtics won a game against the Sixers, 88-87. Maybe, some thought, they could go on the road and rustle up some momentum.They did not. The Celtics lost to the Jazz to open the trip, then ...

We already know how giraffes developed their very long necks: by head-butting each other

If during the summer of 1827, you had traveled the 885 kilometers that separate Marseille from Paris, you would have seen something that, surely, you would never forget: a herd of dairy cows, two African servants and a giraffe. No, sorry: the giraffe. Because, of all the gifts that the pasha of Egypt could have given to King Charles X of France, that huge, beautiful and tremendously bizarre beast was undoubtedly one of the most spectacular.

Amber Heard was ‘not credible’ as a witness to the jury, some legal experts say

Amber Heard did not entirely win over the jury in the defamation case brought by her ex-husband Johnny Depp because the panel likely determined that she lacks credibility, according to some legal experts who spoke to NBC News.The suit centered around an editorial opinion written by Heard and published in the Washington Post in 2018. In the piece, which doesn't mention Depp by name, Heard said she had become a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Depp's attorneys said it indirectly referred to allegations she made against him during their 2016 divorce from her.Depp was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge Penney Azcarate reduced the punitive damages the jury awarded to Depp to $350,000, which is the s...

New Zealand fightback has England in trouble after new era’s bright morning | England v New Zealand 2022

Ben Stokes has packed so much into his 30 years on this planet that his first outing as England's permanent Test captain starting at breakneck speed, and featuring more action than a Hollywood blockbuster, should probably be no surprise.And it's not like we weren't warned, either. When Rob Key decided Brendon McCullum was the ideal head coach to pair with Stokes, the director of men's cricket told folks to “buckle up and get ready for the ride”. An opening day of 17 wickets and 248 runs played out to the burbling hum of Lord's, initially dominated by the hosts but with New Zealand fighting back in the final session, certainly met that billing.Indeed, come the close it was the tourists in the ascendancy, atoning for a rusty performance in which they were rolled for 132 in 40 overs by r...
