Mitch Marner scores in overtime to seal 4-3 win
Canadians lose star Sidney Crosby to injury
Nick Suzuki tied the game on a deflection with 3:27 left, Mitch Marner scored in overtime, and Canada avoided what would have been a stunning quarter-final exit at the Olympics by rallying to beat the Czech Republic 4-3 on Wednesday.
“I never had a doubt, but it was getting a little nerve-racking,” defenseman Drew Doughty said.

Plug-in hybrid electric cars (PHEVs) use much more fuel on the road than officially stated by their manufacturers, a large-scale analysis of around a million vehicles of this type has shown.
The Fraunhofer Institute carried out what is thought to be the most comprehensive study of its kind to date, using the data transmitted wirelessly by the PHEVs whilst they were on the road, from a variety of manufacturers.

José Mourinho: against provoking opposition fans. José Mourinho: in favour of restrained celebrations. José Mourinho, once of the poke-in-the-eye, sprint-down-the-touchline, accost-the-referee-in-the-car-park school of footballing expression: now apparently very big on showing respect to the game. Well, it seems like we’ve all been on a journey here.
“I told him the biggest person in the history of this club was Black,” Mourinho recounted when asked about his conversation with Vinícius Júnior on Tuesday night. “This club, the last thing that it is, is racist.” And doubtless these words will have been a profound source of comfort to Vinícius in his lowest moment, having been insulted on the pitch by an opposition player in a Champions League playoff.

As Vítor Pereira wrapped up his pre-match media duties at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Wednesday evening, his assistant Luís Miguel Moreira da Silva waited at the mouth of the tunnel. “Let’s go?” he said as Pereira eventually emerged, before the Nottingham Forest squad followed the pair on to the pitch.
Then it was down to business, Pereira’s first assignment in charge of Forest at one of his 13 former clubs, Fenerbahce. For Pereira, the Kadikoy district of Istanbul represents familiar territory, having lived in the city across two enjoyable but trophy-less spells here as a manager, most recently in 2021.

I have a sense of getting closer to something which my life depends on. I can sense it but I cannot tell if I should be excited or terrified about what will happen.
Mesmerizing. Like literally, given that it’s based on “a hypnotic light show we can’t look away from, yet we know is made up of low-quality content fed to us by engagement algorithms.”

Toen 66 miljoen jaar geleden de dinosaurussen uitstierven, overleefde één groep afstammelingen: de vogels. En dat kwam, omdat die dieren in tientallen miljoenen jaren tijd weer klein waren geworden. Tegenwoordig zijn er 10.000 vogelsoorten.
Daarmee is het de meest diverse groep dieren met vier ledematen ter wereld. Ooit waren dinosaurussen klein. 230 miljoen jaar geleden wogen de meesten tussen de 10 en 35 kilo. Ze waren zo groot als een gemiddelde hond.
Maar al snel werden ze groter. Binnen 30 miljoen jaar wogen ze 10.000 kilo. Nog later werden sommige soorten wel 35 meter lang en wogen 90.000 kilo. De dino's stopten wel met groeien, maar behielden hun grootte, behalve de maniraptora. Van deze gevederde dieren werd een deel juist weer klein. En alleen de dieren die nog maar een kilo wogen, overleefden de asteroïde-inslag, die de dinosaurussen de kop kostte. Dat waren de vogels. Doordat ze zo klein waren, konden ze zich makkelijker aanpassen aan de veranderde omstandigheden in tegenstelling tot de enorme dinosaurussen met bijbehorende grote honger. De voorouders van de vogel werden in eerste instantie kleiner, omdat ze daardoor beter konden vliegen. Dat kost met minder gewicht uiteraard minder energie.
