Joe Kay—who works as a dog adoption coordinator, helping to rescue, train and foster canines—shared the emotional clip to TikTok under the handle adoptingdogs, where it has been viewed 1.1 million times. The footage can be watched here. In the video, Kay can be seen approaching the cage of a dog affectionately known as “One-Eyed Ann,” carrying an orange laminated card with the words “Adopted please hold” printed on it....

This is official: sport hereby begins its second century this week. The seminal event was the heavyweight championship bout when The Boston Strong Boy, John L. Sullivan, was upset by The California Dude, Pompadour Jim Corbett. All we see at any modern sporting event was evident in some manner at that fight a whole century ago: the hype, the hero worship, the greed, the gambling, the money, the misplaced attention....

Confirmation of Proxima d is evidence that a sensitive exoplanet detection method that measures the “wobble” a planet causes around its star can spot smaller planets like Earth that are potentially habitable. With a mass a quarter of that of Earth, the planet is one of the lightest exoplanets ever discovered. The extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, orbits Proxima Centauri at a distance of 2.5 million miles, 10 times closer to its star than the closest planet to the sun, Mercury....

It’s gone beyond Prozac. That antidepressant has spawned a culture of pill poppers: people who do not suffer from severe depression (for which the Food and Drug Administration approved Prozac in 1987) but who find that the little green and white capsule makes them more cheerful, more mellow, more self-assured (page 41). Now the same scientific insights into the brain that led to the development of Prozac are raising the prospect of nothing less than made-to-order, off-the-shelf personalities....

It’s one thing when provincials are grousing, and quite another when well-dressed citizens in tony Buenos Aires make a clatter. After all, just six years ago, with the economy floundering, deafening cacerolazos helped topple the hapless regime of President Fernando de la Rúa after two stormy years in office. Is the same fate in store for Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who succeeded her husband as Argentina’s president in December? Not for now....

Since 1968, when I’d met and fallen in love with Sam Melville, a charismatic radical in his 30s, I’d shredded my former identity as a classics graduate student and scholarly book editor and become a full-time movement activist. I worked as a writer and office assistant at Rat, a counterculture paper, and devoted my free time to demonstrations and protest actions. Once I was arrested and faced a long prison sentence, the allure of the underground grew irresistible....

Panama, Mexico show mutual respect Osorio was officially announced as Mexico’s new coach Oct. 10, 2015, with his debut coming a month later in a World Cup qualification win over El Salvador. Fans didn’t really want a new manager, but Mexico had to name one. Miguel Herrera’s physical confrontation with a commentator after winning the 2015 Gold Cup got him fired for inappropriate conduct, and interim manager RIcardo “Tuca” Ferretti had no desire for the stress of leading El Tri full time....

Datuk Ong Kim Swee made the first cull in his U23 squad before the Saturday’s travel to South Korea to begin the second phase of their preparations for the 2018 AFC U23 Championships in China. The next phase is crucial as it involves the element of weather where the players will get around half a month to acclimatise with the cold weather as temperature in Changshu is expected to be ranging from -4oC to 10oC....

The results of Malaysia U22’s three friendlies in China will not be a major focus of the Young Tigers head coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee. Instead, he is looking to use the matches to analyse his side, as preparation for the U23 AFC Championship qualifiers in July, and the 2017 SEA Games in August. The team depart for China on June 8, and will take on China U22 on June 10, and the reserve teams of Guangzhou R&F (June 11) and Guangzhou Evergrande (June 13), before returning to Malaysia on June 16....

Accounting is terribly important to AOL. The better its numbers look, the more Wall Street loves it and the easier AOL can sell new shares to raise cash to pay its bills. By my analysis, the company is running a cash deficit of about $75 million a year, covering up the shortfall with perfectly legal accounting techniques and covering its cash deficit with money from stock sales. If AOL can’t sell stock, it’s got big trouble....

On November 19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gave all adults the green light to get a booster shot six months after their second dose of an mRNA vaccine, or two months after getting Johnson & Johnson’s one-shot vaccine. Later that day, the U.S. offered booster shots to all adults and encouraged people over 50 to get a booster....

The results go against the widely held understanding among policymakers and some physicians that opioid prescriptions lead to misuse, addiction and overdoses. A growing body of research removes medical-grade pills from the spotlight of the crisis and attributes most overdoses to the misuse of heroin and illicitly made fentanyl. The study, published Nov. 1 in the journal Annals of Emergency Medicine, followed nearly 500 patients with acute injuries at two emergency departments in the Bronx, New York for six months after their ER visit....

A new poll published Saturday in Brazil’s Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper finds just 11 percent of the country’s residents blame Bolsonaro in any way for the country’s more than 105,000 deaths tied to coronavirus. Second only to U.S. President Donald Trump and the United States, Bolsonaro’s leadership has been marked by his repeated pushes for usage of unproven anti-malarial drugs and downplays of the disease. According to the Datafolha poll results, Bolsonaro is now enjoying the highest popularity of his tenure in office, which began in 2019....

So far, the organization sponsoring the event, Mormon Trail Wagon Train-150 Years Inc., has signed up 5,000 participants–Mormons and non-Mormons alike. Some, such as school groups, will come on board for only a day. Others are in for the long haul. “We have 43 covered wagons going the entire way,” says Nebraska wagon master Joe Vogel. There will be outriders on horseback, walkers on foot and teamsters driving the wagons....

The talented Australian sits at 13 under par, beating the previous best held by Nick Faldo, Greg Norman and Louis Oosthuizen, and has Cameron Young (11 under), Rory McIlroy & Viktor Hovland (10 under) in hot pursuit of his lead. Smith now has a great chance in equalling the lowest round in men’s major history, Branden Grace’s 62 at Royal Birkdale in 2017, when he aims to follow up on what’s already been an impressive year by winning the 2022 Players Championship....

He had racked up 101 saves and pitched to a 2.72 ERA over the previous two seasons with the Orioles. He joined a franchise with a long tradition of ninth-inning hurlers finding the best forms of their careers. Johnson lost Oakland’s fan base in a matter of 17 pitches in a season-opening home loss to the Indians. His meltdown prompted rare boos from a usually understanding Coliseum crowd and sent him into a bizarre tailspin from which he would never entirely recover....

Google doesn’t really have to do this. Normally, a company sells stock to the public because it really needs the money. (As they say, “Go public or go broke.”) Not so at Google, which is flush. When you adjust for the charge that Google takes for employee stock options–commendably, it’s treating them as an expense–you see the firm has profit margins of 60 percent before taxes. It makes so much money it even seems to be paying serious federal income tax....

Many football followers are arguing that the quality of the World Cup will suffer, but this is why it’s not necessarily the case. Over the years my first solution for fair African representation, was to increase the World Cup to around 36 or 40 teams. This could’ve been without increasing Europe’s quota, or challenging them to playoff with the rest of the world. I argued that Europe would be afraid of the latter, and this is why the tournament is expanding....

Oprah was asked about the prospects of a royal reconciliation by Gayle King in the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II’s death and she said she didn’t get involved in “family business.” Even the CBS News host, who is a friend of hers, couldn’t get her to give a view on the future of royal relations, and King said Oprah then ended the interview, though it sounds like on good terms....

On July 31, orcas targeted a sailboat with five people on board. The sailboat had been about six miles off the coast of Sines when the giant mammals attacked, according to a statement from the Portuguese Navy. The boat was so badly damaged it started to sink. The five crew members were then rescued by a nearby fishing vessel and were able to go aboard a lifeboat, before they were escorted back to shore....
