The Giants can’t overcome injuries to Barkley and Thomas in a 30-12 loss to the 49ers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:23:18 GMT

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Dealing with a team as talented as the San Francisco 49ers is difficult enough in the best of circumstances. For the New York Giants, doing it without their best offensive playmaker and best offensive lineman proved to be too much to overcome.New York’s offense never managed to get going without Saquon Barkley and Andrew Thomas against San Francisco’s tenacious defense, with Daniel Jones spending much of the day on the run during a 30-12 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.“We didn’t create a rhythm, we didn’t execute, we didn’t take advantage of our opportunities,” Jones said. “Certainly it is a good defense, a good team, and so when you’re playing good teams, you can’t afford to do that. We didn’t play well enough. It was frustrating at times, but I felt like we were in the game really until the end and had chances to make plays really to the end.”Barkley is the focal point of New York’s offense and with him on the sideline with a sprai...

The future of meat is lab-grown

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:23:18 GMT

Greenhouse gas emissions from meat production are a disaster for climate change, but plant-based meat substitutes like soy are sometimes even worse for the environment. To protect both the planet and consumer choice, look to innovation in lab-grown meat technology. Meat is killing the planet. Even enthusiastic meat-eaters (myself included) cannot escape the substantial greenhouse gas emissions involved in getting steaks onto our plates. A University of Illinois paper, published in Nature Food in 2021, found that meat production is responsible for more than a third of all global emissions, meaning the meat industry pollutes more than double the entire US economy, writes Jason Reed.There are two different ways we could deal with this situation. The first, promoted by most of the environmentalist movement, is to go vegan. By abstaining from animal products and adopting a plant-based diet, they claim, we can eliminate the demand for animal farming and therefore drastically reduce that i...

Una importante universidad china elimina los exámenes de inglés y los nacionalistas celebran la decisión

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:23:18 GMT

(CNN) — Una importante universidad del noroeste de China eliminó las pruebas de inglés como requisito para graduarse, reavivando un acalorado debate sobre el papel de la lengua franca del mundo en el sistema educativo del país después de años de creciente sentimiento nacionalista bajo el mando del líder Xi Jinping.En un comunicado publicado el miércoles, la Universidad Jiaotong de Xi’an, en la capital de la provincia de Shaanxi, informó que los estudiantes ya no necesitarán aprobar un examen de inglés estandarizado a nivel nacional —ni ningún otro examen de inglés— para poder graduarse con una licenciatura.El anuncio causó revuelo en las redes sociales, donde muchos elogiaron la decisión y pidieron que más universidades hicieran lo mismo.“Muy bien. Espero que otras universidades sigan el ejemplo. Es ridículo que los títulos académicos de los chinos tengan que ser validados por un (examen) de lengua extranjera”, decía un comentario con más de 24.000 me gusta e...
