Lynx, Reeve energized around new star duo of Napheesa Collier and Diamond Miller

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Lynx tried a stopgap approach to filling the void from the disassembly of their four-championship dynasty, a patchwork process that worked all right until a collapse last season left them out of the playoffs and produced the worst record in 13 seasons under head coach Cheryl Reeve.

The time for a clear new direction has come, with Napheesa Collier and Diamond Miller leading the way.

Collier’s return and Miller’s arrival had sparked a freshness around one of the WNBA’s model franchises and left Reeve feeling “energized and enthusiastic” by her first training camp without anyone

Belgian mood turning against Russian diamonds

Nobody in Belgium wants Russian “blood diamonds” any more, but the next round of EU sanctions still won’t ban them.

“Consumers don’t want to buy diamonds with blood on them,” said Vicky Reynaert, a Belgian left-wing MP.

“Everybody knows what’s being done with the money by Alrosa [Russia’s biggest diamond firm] — it’s going directly to finance the war against Ukraine”, she said.

Reynaert spoke to EU observer after a Belgian parliament committee, on Tuesday (25 April), backed her resolution calling for the Belgian government to support an EU-wide embargo on Russian stones.

The consumers in Reynaert’s focus groups aside,

What’s the difference between queen and ‘Queen Consort’?

King Charles III now presidents over the British monarchy. And by his side: Queen Camilla.

Wait a second. When Queen Elizabeth II, who died Sept. 8, 2022, reigned for her 70 years, her better half wasn’t King Philip but rather HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. As with many things royal, it’s complicated.

Camilla’s new title was set in motion in February 2022, when Elizabeth decreed during festivities marking her seven decades on the throne that the Duchess of Cornwall should be known as Queen Consort, as opposed to Princess Consort, when Charles ascended to the throne.

“Queen Consort” is

MLB’s base size changes, explained: Why the bases are bigger in 2023 and get ‘pizza box’ comparisons

For those on an MLB diamond this year, there’s going to be a notable difference in the infield besides a restriction on the shift. MLB increased the base size to 18 square inches from the previous size of 15 square inches this offseason, giving the bases more coverage on the dirt.

This change is being made as more of an installation of safety than to affect gameplay. The idea is to avoid collisions, particularly between players covering first base and players running through it.
