When the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam transports Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch” to its new Philips Wing sometime before Dec. 20 (for security reasons, it’s not saying exactly when), the scene will resemble a cross between a space-shuttle launch and a protected witness arriving at court to testify. The priceless painting will be covered with a sensor-studded, high-tech security blanket made by Philips (natch): 475 pounds of thermal insulation and humidity protection augmented, just in case, with a layer of police-vest Kevlar....

SpaceX wants to test launch the world’s largest spacecraft, the Starship, at its Starbase facility that was built only a quarter mile from Boca Chica Beach in south Texas. Governor Greg Abbott also announced the news Tuesday, tweeting “SpaceX is closer to launching giant rocketship from Texas.” However, environmentalists warned that test launches that happen near public beaches cause damages to the Rio Grande Valley ecosystem from rocket explosions. The area is also home to sea turtles who nest there and endangered ocelots are also believed to live there....

The incident was caught on video by London Underground passenger Chris Atkins, who shared it on Twitter on November 22. The video showed a woman, later identified as Asma Shuweikh, confronting a man who was reading aloud a verse from Christian scripture to a Jewish family that could be interpreted as anti-Semitic and claiming that they were masquerading as the “true” descendants of the ancient biblical Israelites. In the video, the man could be heard loudly reading a verse from the New Testament to a man and a boy who were both wearing a kippah, the traditional Jewish skullcap....

This rivalry comes across as a personal vendetta for the most part, as the corrupted prodigy seemed to have his sights set on destroying the No. 1 Hero and disrupting the suffocating systems of society while destroying Deku is more of a hobby. Things change drastically when the Awakened Shigaraki emerges from his beauty sleep and Deku becomes his primary target; fans understand why, but how does Shigaraki suddenly know who now wields One For All?...

RELATED: What My Hero Academia Character Has A Crush On You, Based On Your Zodiac? My Hero Academia seemed like a rather wholesome show in its initial stages, but the series doesn’t shy away from taking rather dark turns. This is especially notable in the characters themselves, with some of the villains being ridiculously unstable at times. Here are some characters from My Hero Academia who don’t dial it down when it comes to their ruthlessness....

Koda also stars in the issue, seemingly awakening his Quirk in the process (although this is unconfirmed) of bringing down a Paranormal Liberation Front General. My Hero Academia chapter 372 also sees both Present Mic and Spinner reach Kurogiri. With an exciting close to the issue, fans are unsurprisingly honing in on the sadness and misery that Spinner and Shoji’s backstories are laden with. Follow along as this article briefly recaps My Hero Academia chapter 372 spoilers, as well as recaps the fan reactions to this issue’s exciting and heart-wrenching events....

H. I. Sutton, a defense analyst who specializes in submarines and other underwater objects, posted two photos of the mystery objects on Twitter and several more on his website under the title Russia’s Washed Up Invasion: Mystery Objects Found on Beaches. On Twitter, Sutton wrote: “They look like mines but I don’t think that they are. Leading theory is part of Kalibr submarine launch capsule but unconfirmed.” The 3M-54 Kalibr is a group of Russian ballistic missiles, with variants that can be fired from ships, aircraft and submarines....

Researchers at Aberystwyth University in the United Kingdom have found evidence that stranded pilot whales in the northeast Atlantic and the Falkland Islands were from different family groups. This contradicts scientists’ previous theories about the phenomenon. Cetacean strandings—when marine mammals wash up on beaches—can be fatal. Long-finned pilot whales are among the species most affected, along with other types of dolphin. Scientists have previously suspected that these socially complex animals become stranded as they attempt to maintain family cohesion....

New Zealand Rugby Union chief Steve Tew on Friday denied money was the motivation behind a planned Test against Japan later this year, saying the match was about giving young All Blacks a run. Tew stressed that the proposed Test, reportedly set to take place in Tokyo on November 2, was still under negotiation but said if it proceeded it would not be a money spinner for the reigning world champions....

Na won the PGA Tour event for a second time, adding to his 2011 success after a dramatic final round in Las Vegas. The American, who carded a second-round 62 and a 61 in the third, finished at 23 under, alongside Cantlay, after a final-round 70. A par at the second play-off hole was enough for Na to secure his fourth PGA Tour victory as Cantlay made bogey. Na endured a difficult final round, making a triple bogey on the par-four 10th before recovering, including sinking a 22-footer for par at 17....

Nadal’s astounding 50-set winning streak on clay came to an end last week when he lost to Dominic Thiem in the quarter-finals of the Madrid Open, but the two men suffered contrasting fortunes in Rome on Wednesday. Seven-time champion Nadal - seeking to reclaim the number-one ranking he conceded last week - hammered Dzumhur 6-1 6-0 after Thiem had gone down in three sets to Fabio Fognini, the Austrian smashing a racquet in anger during an intense contest....

Nadal, who will attempt to become the first player in the Open Era to win the same grand slam 10 times, has won both of his previous two matches against the 45-ranked Paire and will come up against the Frenchman for the first time in four years. Fourth seed Nadal is in the bottom half of the draw along with reigning champion Novak Djokovic, who takes on Marcel Granollers in the opening round at Roland Garros....

Nagoya Grampus come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Miguel Angel Lotina’s Shimizu S-Pulse in the league. A goal from midfielder Naoki Maeda for Nagoya Grampus was cancelled out by a goal from Brazilian forward Thiago Santos Santana for Shimizu S-Pulse. Kashima Antlers, on the other hand, beat Kevin Muscat’s Yokohama F. Marinos 2-0 in the league. First-half goals from young midfielder Ryotaro Araki and attacker Ayasa Ueda ensured victory for Kashima Antlers....

Stuart Baxter made three changes to the starting line-up that faced Madagascar, with Siyabonga Ngezana, Gift Links and Wiseman Meyiwa all cracking the nod. Bafana Bafana went into the encounter wounded having succumbed to a 4-3 penalty shoot-out defeat to Madagascar’s Barea following a 0-0 stalemate in a quarter-final game at the new Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday. Baxter’s counterpart, Ricardo Mannetti, also made three changes to the team that faced Zambia over the weekend....

In case you didn’t know… The right-hander has had a very troubling international season so far this year, having not been able to showcase his skills as much as he would have wanted to. He was initially named for the first three Test matches of the ongoing England-India series, with the national selectors choosing to put off selection for the last two games until they can take note on the various performances from the first three games....

The savagery of the attack had police looking for fanatics of some kind. So did the death threats that followed against 14 more members of the Dalai Lama’s entourage. Now Indian police believe the murders were committed by an obscure Buddhist sect that takes its name and inspiration from a minor but ferocious Tibetan deity: the Dorje Shugden. The god’s followers, known as Shugdens, consider themselves guardians of Tibetan Buddhism....

Netflix, on their YouTube channel, dropped a trailer for the sequel to Murder Mystery, coming out on March 31, 2023, and it’s as full of Aniston and Sandler as anybody could stand. The trailer opens up with a nighttime shot of the Eiffel tower cutting to an interior of a quaint French café where “La Vie en rose” backgrounds the diners when a van suddenly comes bursting through the wall....

Top seeds Herbert and Mahut suffered a third consecutive group defeat at the year-ender, meaning Murray and Soares, who reached the semi-finals by winning all three of theirs, remained 25 points ahead and cannot be overhauled. With 200 points available for a group win, victory for Herbert and Mahut would have edged them back in front in the race but they went down 6-7(5) 6-4 10-4 to Henri Kontinen and John Peers....
