But one of the easiest ways to be an ally as a non-Black person is to learn about race and racism by reading books about its history in the U.S. and how it takes its form in the present day. Non-Black people can help the Black Lives Matter movement by increasing their understanding of Black history and racism through reading both fiction and non-fiction books, such as those listed below....
The former prime minister returned from holiday in the Caribbean on Saturday, with 6,800 people following his British Airways flight across the Atlantic on tracking site flighttrack24 at 4.10am ET. Johnson is widely expected to run again for the Tory Party leadership, which could potentially restore him to 10 Downing Street less than two months after he was forced to leave. However, his divisive candidacy risks splitting his party, with one former Conservative Minister telling Newsweek that “nothing’s changed” since July when Johnson was forced to quit by his own ministers who were “fed up with his lies and dissembling....
The newspaper’s report detailed Johnson’s week-long stay at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London in early April, which included 72 hours inside the facility’s intensive care unit. Describing his physical condition, the prime minister said he “was not in particularly brilliant shape,” and recalled that “there were contingency plans in place” as a precautionary measure in case his health status worsened further. “The doctors had all sorts of arrangements for what to do if things went badly wrong,” Johnson told The Sun....
“Your minor cough can be someone else’s death knell,” he said, saying that young people were not exempt from these measures and that they could harm their families by ignoring the rules. “We need to suppress the virus now,” Johnson said, promising to enforce the measures more severely. “Unless we take action, we will have to take measures later when deaths have mounted.” Johnson was keen to make clear that the whole fate of the country’s wellbeing relies on individual actions: “Never in our history has our collective destiny and our collective health depended so completely on our individual behavior,” he said....
“Back in Ann Arbor!” Bosch wrote on Twitter. By that afternoon, he was trying to figure out his next destination. “Going to miss my teammates more than anything I wish the best of luck to my all of my brothers” he wrote. After Bosch and his father met with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, they concluded Kyle would transfer. “I was at school all day, getting ready,” Bosch told Sporting News on Tuesday morning....
Serbs cooperating with Croats? Only months ago such an unholy alliance would have been unthinkable, even in the Balkans, where political ties, like cease-fires, are routinely made and broken in the same week. Croats and Serbs have been on opposite sides of three particularly brutal conflicts in the past 50 years. Lately, though, they have found a common enemy: the Muslims. It’s no coincidence that SerbCroat military collaboration comes on the heels of a joint proposal by Belgrade and Zagreb to partition Bosnia along ethnic lines-in effect, creating Greater Serbia and Greater Croatia, while leaving two land-locked Muslim enclaves....
The study, which was published by the Science journal on Thursday, suggest that the conference held by Biogen, was a “super spreading event early in the pandemic.” Dozens of different academic and medical organizations helped conduct the study, including the Broad Institute of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. From February 26 to 27, Biogen held a conference at the Marriott Long Wharf hotel, and according to the study, shortly after, “Public health investigation with contact tracing identified approximately 100 cases associated with this conference, raising suspicion that a superspreading event had occurred there....
Tsarnaev was convicted in 2015 after he and his brother Tamerlan set off two bombs at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon. Three individuals were killed in the blasts, including an eight-year-old boy. At least 264 people were injured in the explosions. Tsarnaev’s death penalty was reversed after a panel of three judges found that the original judge in the trial did not properly vet jurors for biases against Tsarnaev....
The 26-year-old is one of four NBA players who will take part in the National COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Project, an experimental treatment that doctors hope could help high-risk patients recover from the virus. According to a memo obtained by ABC News, the NBA has written to the physicians of the 30 franchises on Sunday to encourage players who have recovered from COVID-19—the disease caused by the new strain of coronavirus—to take part in the treatment....

“I think it’s terrific, and we’ve got some work to do,” Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker told the Boston Herald. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker; Boston Mayor Martin Walsh (Getty Images) And one not without questions. Take, for example, these comments from Boston radio station WEEI’s website: Yes, the Red Sox are in their most successful era since Babe Ruth wore their flannels. The Celtics aren’t close to their best, it’s true, and the Bruins are in a middling NHL season....
Young sustained the concussion and whiplash in a car accident before last month’s NBA draft. The Celtics chose the 6-foot-6 swingman 17th overall with its second first-round pick — Boston selected Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart sixth overall with the first — but held Young out of practices and the competition for rookies and free agents in Orlando. Young said Tuesday that he was cleared to practice a “few days ago”, adding that the scary rear-end collision showed him “how fast things can change....
The corked glass bottle was discovered by a group of volunteer litter pickers who were cleaning up the Humber Estuary in Lincolnshire. Inside were two scribbled notes written by 15-year-old pals Jennifer Coleman and Janet Blankley dated August 9, 1966. The love-lorn pair wrote descriptions of themselves and invited teenage boys who found the bottle to write back to them. Janet wrote: “I am 15, not bad looking, long wavy brown, chestnut hair and 5'4....
The mass shooting left 10 people dead, including one police officer, named as 51-year-old Eric Talley by Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold. Talley was an 11-year old veteran of the Boulder Police force and was the first officer to respond to the shooting, Herold said. He was a father of seven, according to Talley’s father. Police said the gunman, who wasn’t identified publicly, was injured in the violence, but they did not provide any more information....
Eddie Howe’s men had thrown away a three-goal lead to draw with Arsenal in their last home game, but here the boot was on the other foot as Benik Afobe secured a hard-earned point with an 82nd-minute strike. Bournemouth were the better side throughout but found themselves behind to goals from Christian Kabasele and Troy Deeney, both from corners. Although Josh King levelled the scores at 1-1 shortly after half-time, it looked as though the hosts’ poor defending from set-pieces would prove costly....
All of these bold choices give the PI7 a very “business casual” vibe. The price point certainly plays a role in that perception. That they are positioned for the wealthy business person. But, even the Bluetooth earbuds’ most clever feature points toward consumers who are often on the road for work. These earbuds can use their charging case to connect to places that only have a 3.5 mm audio jack—like an airplane....

Evans will never rival Dickens’s literary talents, but he bests him in marketing genius. “The Christmas Box” is the latest of a new crop of self-published best sellers such as “The Celestine Prophecy.” To promote his original edition of the book, the 33-year-old former advertising executive plastered ads on buses, traded books for radio plugs and, when the book began selling, hired an agent who negotiated a $4.2 million hardcover deal....
Garcia (34-0) failed to record a knockout for the sixth time as a professional in a fight that had many booing the lack of action. He was able to consistently block most of the punches thrown by Burgos (30-2-2) and won for the second time in the 130-pound division by scores of 119-109, 118-110 and 118-110. Garcia won the fight by landing 29 percent (163-of-567) of his punches. He also landed 24 percent of his jabs (81-of-339) and 36 percent of power punches (82-of-228)....
