RUSTON, La. (AP) — With field temperatures soaring above 150 degrees at times, 10-year-old baseball player Emmitt Anderson and his teammates from Alabama thought better of kneeling when they gathered near the mound for pregame prayers at a recent regional youth baseball tournament here.“It was too hot on our knees,” Anderson said of the artificial surface. “We just stood up.”High heat proved considerably harder to handle than fastballs up in the strike zone at the DYB World Series this week. Temperatures reached 105 degrees, with the heat index topping out at 117. Some spectators and umpires required treatment for heat-related symptoms. A few passed out and were briefly hospitalized. “The heat was so extreme, I just knew it was a matter of time before something happened,” said Dr. Kelsey Steensland, an anesthesiologist from Dothan, Alabama, who was there to watch her 10-year-old son, Finn, play for a team representing their state.During opening ceremonies, she rushed to ...Evacúan la Torre Eiffel por motivos aún desconocidos para el público

LONDON (AP) — The start of Arsenal’s opening Premier League game against Nottingham Forest was delayed by 30 minutes on Saturday after a problem with the turnstiles at Emirates Stadium left thousands of fans unable to get in on time.The kickoff had been scheduled for 12:30 p.m. local time (1130 GMT) but was pushed back because of an apparent issue with the club’s new digital ticketing system. TV footage showed thousands of fans still waiting outside the Emirates 10 minutes before the scheduled kickoff, with only a sparse crowd inside the 60,000-seat stadium.The turnstiles were eventually able to open and the stadium was full by the time the game started at 1 p.m. local time (1200 GMT).___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerSourceWebb telescope captures image of most distant star ever seen
Published Mon, 30 Dec 2024 20:24:39 GMT
(CNN) — Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to observe Earendel, the most distant star ever detected.Earendel is so distant that the starlight glimpsed by the Webb telescope was emitted within the first billion years of the universe. The universe is estimated to be about 13.8 billion years old.Previous estimates suggest the star is 12.9 billion light-years away from Earth, but given the expansion of the universe and how long the light has traveled to reach us, astronomers believe Earendel is currently 28 billion light-years away.The star’s name derives from Old English words that mean “morning star” or “rising light.” The Hubble Space Telescope first spotted Earendel in 2022.Webb’s observations have revealed new insights about the incredibly distant star. Earendel is a massive B-type star about 1 million times more luminous than our sun and more than twice as hot.The star is in the Sunrise Arc galaxy and was only observable because a massive gala...Taiwan’s vice president leaves on Paraguay trip amid Chinese efforts to isolate the island

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan’s vice president left Saturday on a trip to Paraguay to reinforce relations with his government’s last diplomatic partner in South America at a time when China is stepping up efforts to isolate the self-ruled island democracy.William Lai’s trip includes stops in San Francisco and New York City, which Beijing criticized Washington for allowing. The mainland’s ruling Communist Party claims Taiwan as part of its territory and says it has no right to conduct foreign relations.Lai was due to attend the inauguration of Paraguayan President-elect Santiago Peña on Tuesday.Lai said he would meet officials of other governments ”so that the international society understands Taiwan is a country that persists in its democracy, human rights and freedom and actively takes part in international affairs.”Paraguay is part of a dwindling group of 12 governments that have diplomatic relations with Taiwan. They are mostly small, poor countries in Africa and the Caribbean. Ta...6 dead, more than 50 rescued from capsized migrant boat in the English Channel

LONDON (AP) — Six people died and more than 50 were rescued when a boat carrying migrants capsized Saturday in the English Channel, according to French authorities. The Maritime Prefecture of the Channel and the North Sea initially reported that six of those rescued were in critical condition. One individual later died after being transported by helicopter to a Calais hospital, and an update confirmed the deaths of five others who were ferried to shore by boat.“This morning, a migrant boat capsized off Calais,” French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said on social media. “My thoughts are with the victims.” The deaths come as Britain’s ruling conservative party has sought to stop crossings of small, often unseaworthy, boats with a variety of policies that have come under fire for failing to stem the flow of migrants. French authorities noted a marked increase in attempted crossings from the coast since Thursday during the onset of milder weather.

Peterborough police say an officer observed a vehicle being driven erratically on Parkhill Road East just after 2 p.m. on Friday. When the officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop, the vehicle sped off. A short pursuit ensued but was discountined due to public safety.A short while later police received a call about a crash at a Volkswagen dealership in the area of Towerhill Road and Chemong Road. When officers arrived they found it was the same man who had fled police minutes earlier.According to the Special Investigations Unit, the man entered the dealership and became involved in an interaction with one of the employees. “When officers entered the dealership, the man – who appeared to be armed – consumed a substance,” the SIU said in a statement. “At some point, the man went vital signs absent and first-aid was administered.”...Latest news
