A worldwide move towards plant-focused diets is “essential for meeting climate change mitigation targets,” scientists wrote in the journal Global Environmental Change. But how this is achieved depends on the country. The team, from Johns Hopkins University, Maryland, looked at the carbon and water footprints of nine plant-rich diets from 140 countries, and compared them with what is typically eaten. A total of 74 food items were considered. What are known as ruminant meats—such as cattle, sheep, and goat—had “by far” the biggest greenhouse gas footprint, with 6....

2009’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is one of the highest-rated games in the series, and many consider it to be one of the best games in the franchise. It was a follow-up to the immensely popular Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which also received critical acclaim upon its release. Both of these games have been remastered for modern platforms, although the multiplayer portion is absent from Modern Warfare 2’s re-release....

The sign on the side of the M4, a highway in Slough, England, featured a circle, square and triangle—the same shapes printed on the invite issued to participants in the popular Netflix series. TVP Roads Policing, an operations unit with Hampshire Roads Police, shared a statement to Twitter, ensuring drivers that the signage was not related to the hit show. “We can confirm that by following this signage from the M4 Junction 5 in Slough will not lead you to the popular Netflix series Squid Game,” it wrote....

One Netflix show, however, sketched the limits of these categories with its ambitious conceptualization of a future society defined by the replaceability of its members’ bodies. Altered Carbon hit all of the philosophical benchmarks of its dystopian concept, but it also wore the concept thin in its uneven execution. RELATED: The Best Sci-Fi Series On Netflix (June 2022) Altered Carbon premiered as Netflix was ramping up its offerings of original content, adding an array of new shows that ranged from the kid-friendly A Series of Unfortunate Events to the gritty dramedy Ozark to the quietly prestigious Mindhunter....

The video is titled “BIG DADDY PATTY” (yes, in all caps), which is apparently a nickname they’re trying to make happen for Mahomes. Just for the record, no one else calls him this. All right, let’s just get to the video. WEEK 6 PICKS: Why the Chiefs will conquer the Patriots So right off the bat, I hate it. The visuals are bad. The music production is bad. The “lyrics” are bad....

These four features started rolling out at the end of May. You might find that they’re not yet available in some countries – be patient and they should be soon. Drop In on all devices The first is an update to Drop In.

It used to be that teams would total 40 players on their active roster for the season’s final month, with minor league talents getting the chance to perform alongside the MLB regulars to show what they can do when given the chance to play in the big leagues. That won’t be the case this year. In 2021, rosters will only expand to 28 players from the usual 26. Still, those extra few spots can be crucial for teams hoping to make a run at the postseason, and there are certainly going to be some top prospects that come up to help out their teams....

The U.S., Canada and European allies have implemented stringent sanctions targeting the Russian economy in the wake of Moscow’s internationally scorned invasion of Ukraine. In a further step of solidarity with Ukraine, the House voted to revoke Russia’s special trade status with the U.S. in a widely bipartisan vote. As 424 lawmakers voted in favor of the measure, just eight GOP lawmakers voted “no.” Those who voted against the effort includes Republican Representatives Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Chip Roy of Texas, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin, Dan Bishop of North Carolina and Thomas Massie of Kentucky....

Labor Day is a fantastic time to enjoy the last days of summer with friends and family before school starts for many and summer vacation comes to an end. Have a one last barbecue, a final beach outing, and even snag a deal or two online while you’re at it. Although summer may be coming to a close, this is actually one of the best times to buy summer gear like grills and outdoor furniture....

That number continued to dwindle Tuesday, when several more swing district Democrats who flipped Trump districts and are most at risk of losing re-election announced their intent to vote yes on the impeachment articles. As of Tuesday afternoon, zero vulnerable Democrats remained undecided. The number of holdouts diminished in recent days as a steady stream of members revealed their pro-impeachment stances in statements, through local media outlets and at contentious town halls....

The president of the brand’s parent company Fast Retailing has defended the decision and said that clothing is a basic human need and that the Russian people should not be deprived of it. “There should never be war. Every country should oppose it. This time all of Europe clearly opposes the war and has shown its support for Ukraine. Any attempt to divide the world will, on the contrary, strengthen unity,” Tadashi Yanai said in a statement, per Reuters....

The population density of where a person lived and their socioeconomic status both contributed to rates of what is known as extra-pair paternity in the Low Countries of Belgium and the Netherlands, according to a study published in the journal Current Biology. Extra-pair paternity is where a man is unexpectedly not the biological father of his legal child. Study co-author Maarten Larmuseau of KU Leuven and Histories, explained to Newsweek that cuckoldry and extra marital affairs can explain extra-pair paternity, but also a woman being raped....

Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft were both punished by the ICC after admitting to their parts in a plot to manipulate the ball on day three of the third Test against South Africa at Newlands, which they lost by 322 runs. Skipper Smith has been banned for the fourth and final Test in Johannesburg starting on Friday, while opening batsman Bancroft was fined 75 per cent of his match fee and given three demerit points but is free to play at the Wanderers if selected....

A movie like this, based on re-creating the ephemeral spirit of Charles Addams’s very twisted world, is hard to pull off, and director Barry Sonnenfeld doesn’t always make it. The plot is lame; the jokes are often broad, though if you have a weakness for dumb humor–or you’re under 10 years old–you’ll find them hilarious. But thanks to the delicate comic abilities of the cast– especially Anjelica Huston as Morticia, Raul Julia as Gomez, Christopher Lloyd as Fester and the wonderful Christina Ricci as the horrid child Wednesday–the movie doesn’t descend into camp....

The Gillette Brasil Global Tour clash in Johannesburg was Brazil’s last before coach Luiz Felipe Scolari confirms his World Cup squad, which will be announced May 7. And PSG defender Silva says the result will be a huge confident boost for a group that has come a long since Felipao took charge in November 2012. "We close the preparations well, on a high note," Silva said. "If I'm not mistaken, in the last 20 matches we had 15 or 16 wins....

Monaco are not afraid of CL giants The youngster has scored 16 goals in his last 16 outings, including five in four Champions League knockout games, and is already recognised as one of European football’s outstanding rising stars. This is drawing special attention from opponents, and the Croatia international goalkeeper has revealed that the sheer physicality of Thiago Silva in the recent Coupe de la Ligue final loss to Paris Saint-Germain left the youngster on the brink of tears....
