The viral disease, which began spreading in non-endemic countries for the first time at an unprecedented rate earlier this year, has now been found in at least 52 nations worldwide. The virus has existed since the 1950s at least and is endemic to West and Central Africa. It causes symptoms including fever, headache, body aches, swollen lymph nodes, exhaustion and a body rash. Scientists have been trying to work out why the virus seems to be spreading more effectively now than ever before....

The new single, released earlier today ahead of the music video premiere, marks the band’s first English track since the release of its 2020 album All About Luv, which was the first all English-language album released by a K-pop group at the time. The latest tune, which has an uplifting feel, is about “having lost or broken up with someone” and “the feeling of knowing that it might feel better at some point, but you’re stuck in your current emotion and not able to realize that,” according to a statement from the band’s U....

Angler Eugene Cronley caught the 131 pound fish on April 7 in the Mississippi River near Natchez. It took him 40 minutes to land the monster, with a rod and reel and a skipjack herring as bait, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks Fisheries said in a statement. Cronley told the Department it was “truly a fish of a lifetime.” The ginormous blue catfish broke the previous “rod and reel” record set in 2009 by Dakota Hinson, who caught a 95-pound catfish....

The sunspot region, known as AR3098, has simmered on the surface of the sun for about five days. In that time it’s become increasingly active, with solar scientists predicting a high chance of flares. In the late hours of September 12, that’s exactly what happened. Sunspots are regions of the sun where magnetic fields are particularly intense—so much so that some heat from the sun’s interior is prevented from reaching the surface....

It’s shaping up to be another fascinating postseason, but first let’s look at five things from the final weekend of the Apertura regular season: Monterrey bounces back to earn No. 1 seed After two defeats heading into the Clasico Regio, you could forgive Monterrey fans for being a bit antsy about how La Pandilla would perform against Tigres. Instead of struggling, though, it was a return to form for Antonio Mohamed’s men, who delivered a classic Monterrey performance in a 2-0 victory over their crosstown rival....

What was disappointing is that Harrell didn’t take another shot after slamming home a dunk with 4:47 left that put the Cardinals up 65-57. The Tigers ended the game on a 15-1 run to win, with Louisville content to put up jump shots in an effort to produce points. "We try to break plays and that led to runouts and easy buckets,” Harrell told reporters. "We've just got to stick to the plays....

MORE: Opening Day schedule for all 30 teams It’s made all the more entertaining by the laughter and in-progress advice from the announcers: “Get on your horse.” “Don’t miss the cut-off.” He did (figuratively) and he did (literally). Of course, these types of in-game interviews are pretty much limited to exhibition games (we also saw it in last season’s All-Star Game), as players and teams would never want the distraction during a game that mattered....

It is now 18 months since he joined the Blues from Real Madrid for £58 million (plus add-ons) and he is running out of chances to prove his worth. As ever with Morata, there were positive moments against Southampton, with a delightful dribble in the 17th minute probably the highlight. But despite going close on numerous occasions, he failed to score and it was clear long before the end of this dour 0-0 draw that the fans’ patience is wearing thin....

David Ferguson has spoken out on the behalf of his 31-year-old son DJ who is no longer eligible for the transplant according to hospital policy. “It’s kind of against his basic principles; he doesn’t believe in it,” Ferguson told WBZ. “It’s a policy they are enforcing and so because he won’t get the shot, they took him off the list of a heart transplant.” Brigham and Women’s released a statement saying, “And like many other transplant programs in the United States – the COVID-19 vaccine is one of several vaccines and lifestyle behaviors required for transplant candidates in the Mass General Brigham system in order to create both the best chance for a successful operation and also the patient’s survival after transplantation....

It used to be that kids went to college for four years. But a new study, released this spring, shows that most students today take about five years to graduate. The problem is particularly bad at public universities, where, on average, only half the students get out in four years–compared with 80 percent of private-school kids. At the University of Michigan, fully 65 percent graduate on time. But at UCLA, only 42 percent graduate in four years, and less than a third of the students in the Texas university system do....

Luis Enrique has proved he is a Barcelona legend Unai Emery’s men thrashed Barca 4-0 in the first leg of their last-16 tie at the Parc des Princes last month but conceded three goals in seven minutes to succumb to a 6-1 reverse at Camp Nou on Wednesday. Barcelona’s comeback has already been hailed as one of the greatest in the history of sport, but being on the receiving end of such heroics can be a trying experience....

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire, announced Wednesday that more than 10,300 firefighters remain on the frontlines of 12 large wildfires tearing through the Golden State. Approximately 766 engines, 172 hand crews, 272 bulldozers, 269 water tenders and 48 helicopters are working to extinguish the flames. The fires have burned roughly 1.3 million acres of land so far, according to Cal Fire. The largest fire officials are working to contain is the Dixie Fire, which is burning in the densely forested Sierra Nevada region....

Election officials said the error was caused by an image mapping error that occurred during the printing process, which was handled by the printing and mailing company Midwest Direct. “As an example, voter # 1 received voter #2’s ballot,” Midwest Direct President Sean Gebbie wrote in a letter to county officials that the county shared publicly on its website. An estimated 28,879 voters were sent the wrong ballots as a result of that error, the county said....

According to data from Johns Hopkins University, approximately 4,527,000 Americans have recovered after contracting COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the new coronavirus. Despite the large number of recoveries, the virus has continued to spread throughout the U.S. and has infected over 12.2 million Americans as well as causing at least 256,934 deaths. The number of Americans that have recovered from the virus comes as treatments and hospitals preparedness continue to improve, following the previous worst phase of the pandemic in March and April....

Detroit rolled out zero percent to jump-start the car market after September 11, but the come-on is still packing ’em in. Last month car sales roared ahead to set a record. GM, the first to offer zero-percent financing after the attacks, was assailed for capitalizing on the tragedy and steering the industry into “profitless prosperity.’’ Now GM is hailed as the savior of the economy. And GM’s prosperity is anything but profitless....
