The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its newly renovated facility at 20 Dr. Marcus Wheatland Boulevard in Newport, RI, marking the culmination of 13 months of construction. This significant milestone not only honors the legacy of Dr. King, but also signifies the commencement of the “Great Program Migration,” welcoming back the Center’s diverse and vital programs to their improved and modernized home. In a testament to community support and collaboration, BankNewport helped play a pivotal role in this transformative journey by awarding a $200,000 grant in 2022 to the MLK Center’s Building Hope Campaign , specifically for their new, state-of-the-art food pantry . “BankNewport expresses its deep gratitude to the MLK Center staff and volunteers and to those community members who contributed to making the building campaign a reality,” said Jack Murphy, President and CEO, BankNewport. “The renovated...

The windy conditions at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches in Florida are making it tough on players to score low on Friday. Lots of water hazards, hard greens, tough pin placements and a stiff breeze are frustrating Golf ers, who are struggling to make birdies on the bermuda grass greens. On Friday Chad Ramey and S.H. Kim managed to shoot 7-under par with a group of five Golf ers right behind them at -6: Andrew Novak, Ryan Moore, Austin Eckroat, Cameron Young, Chesson Hadley and David Skins. So, how about some of the big names? Rickie Fowler is playing some solid golf and is at the top part of the leaderboard after getting an early start of Friday. European Ryder Cup teammates Shane Lowry, Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick are currently at 5-under par. What is the cut line at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches? The standard PGA Tour cut rules apply with the top 65 players and ties advancing through to the weekend after the end of the second round. Related stories GOL...

ARCHAEOLOGISTS were able to take a peek into life almost 400 years ago after a treasure hunter fulfilled his lifelong goal of uncovering the remains of a 17th-century vessel dubbed the “shipwreck of the century”. The heavily-armed galleon Nuestra Senora de Atocha served as the rear guard of the 20-strong Spanish fleet that left Havana, Cuba, in early September 1622, destined for Spain. In addition to 265 people, the ship was carrying as much as 40 tonnes of silver, gold and around 70 pounds of Colombian emeralds, some of the finest and most expensive in the world. After a hurricane struck on September 5, 1622, eight ships sank – including the Atocha – littering the ocean floor from the Marquesas Keys to the Dry Tortugas, between 30 and 70 miles to the west of Key West, Florida. As the Atocha went down into the water at a depth of 55 feet, rescuers tried to get into the drowned hull but found the hatches were tightly battened. The site of the wreck was marked, but a second hur...

It has long been debated whether animals can smell fear in humans. Unfortunately, answering this age-old question isn't as simple as pulling Fluffy or Fido aside and asking them what they're sensing. So what does the research say? Can animals actually smell fear? To get to the root of this question, researchers have largely taken human presence out of the equation, as animals such as dogs are known to respond to our expressions and body posture . Instead, investigators have focused on how animals, including horses and dogs, respond to various smells emitted by humans watching happy versus fear-inducing videos. In a horse study, published in 2023 in the journal Scientific Reports , researchers had participants watch clips from a comedy one day and a horror movie the next. After the participants watched each video, the researchers collected sweat samples from the viewers' armpits using cotton pads and asked the participants to report how much joy or fear they felt whil...

As the teams go over the data, there is little time before they are back on track in six days’ time. But what have they learned – and what we learned? Just what is the F1 pecking order and what trends have we seen? Who's in the best place to challenge Red Bull? In our video, Steph Wentworth chats with our experts Jonathan Noble and Sam Hall to answer all these questions and more.

As recently as January 14, the Los Angeles Lakers were looking in from the outside of all versions of the Western Conference playoffs. Given the All-Star Break, that means the Lakers are effectively just a month removed from worrying if they had any hopes of reaching the postseason. Now, they sit at No. 9 in the West with a four- Game cushion from getting knocked out of the Play-In Tournament. Some of that shift is a credit to Los Angeles, going 11-5 in that month. Some of it was a failing by the Utah Jazz and the Houston Rockets, going 5-10 and 5-11, respectively. Are the Lakers now in solid enough position to be trusted to make the postseason beyond the Play-In Tournament? Let's take a look at the latest NBA odds to find out.

The break in the NBA season does not mean you need to take a break from making NBA picks. With about a third of the season remaining, some of the postseason awards markets still offer betting value. Risk comes with that, obviously, but that is always the case when betting on awards decided by voters rather than on the court. Join me as I break down the NBA odds for the best NBA awards that are still yet to be decided.  NBA MVP Favorites Nikola Jokic (-140 at FanDuel) The two-time MVP is the odds-on favorite to win a third. Averaging 26.1 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 8.9 assists is certainly a strong enough case on its own, even if the Denver Nuggets have fallen into fourth in the Western Conference and are likely to lose any tiebreakers to two of the three teams ahead of them. Nikola Jokic is a known commodity, though also still an underrated one. The general public does not appreciate the Serbian enough, partly because he prefers it that way. If there are reasons...

What it is: The Gemini North telescope When it was published: Feb. 7, 2024 Where it is: The Gemini Observatory at the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii Why it's so special: Stars twinkle — and that isn't good if you want to study them using large telescopes. The twinkling comes from light passing through different layers of Earth's turbulent atmosphere, which leads to a blurry, jumpy image in a telescope. Astronomers call this effect poor "seeing," and it can interrupt Astronomy for many nights — or, at least, it used to. On the Gemini North telescope, as on many modern ground-based telescopes, astronomers now use adaptive optics, which allows the telescope to correct for the distortions created by Earth's atmosphere. From the top of Gemini North, a yellow laser called TOPTICA is used to make an artificial star on traces of sodium gas in the atmosphere about 50 miles (80 kilometers) over Earth. Computers then deform the telescope's mirrors slightly ...

From the deepest ocean trench to the tallest mountain, plate tectonics explains the features and movement of Earth's surface in the present and the past. Developed from the 1950s to the 1970s, the theory of plate tectonics is the modern update to continental drift, an idea first proposed by scientist Alfred Wegener in 1912 which stated that Earth’s continents had "drifted" across the planet over time. Wegener didn't have an explanation for how continents could move around the planet, but researchers do now: Plate tectonics.  Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into large slabs of solid rock, called “plates,” that glide over Earth's mantle, the rocky inner layer above Earth’s core. Earth’s solid outer layer, which includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, is called the lithosphere. It is 100 km (60 miles) thick, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere — a viscous l...
