Using network mathematics, economists at Harvard and the University of Notre Dame came up with a map that connects countries according to exports. The map, say the authors, is a step toward measuring how much poor countries must change to compete with rich ones.

While many NASCAR fans, drivers and others remembered the seven-time champion and paid tribute to him on Wednesday, Dale Earnhardt Jr. had a different take. “One (sic) this day I do not mourn his death. I thank God he lived. #DaleEarnhardt” – @DaleJr...

China’s air is the cleanest it’s been in decades, and locals in Punjab can see the Himalayas for the first time in years. Yosemite is brimming with wildlife unafraid to walk the roads once bumper to bumper with families. As a travel photographer, my weeks sequestered from the natural world have given me an even greater appreciation of its value (something I hope is contagious). Grounded in lockdown in my home in New York City, I look back at some of my favorite photos from previous adventures and yearn for wide-open spaces....

The initial announcement of Earthblade revealed very little of the game, outside its genre and a promise of another Celeste-like pixel art world.

Games take time to develop, however, and the team at EXOK was always going to ensure it only shared more regarding Earthblade when it was ready....

The trend of lighting up football stands with flashlights of cell-phones have gained immense popularity this decade, but if East Bengal supporters are allowed to have their way, it’s often a more surreal view. Newspapers are set on fire to make them look like the flame on the club’s crest and then the flares are held aloft quite dangerously in the densely populated gallery to celebrate victories. Like East Bengal’s faithful, the officials also played with fire this season regarding the future of a player at the club....

Glass was attempting to lead a comeback drive in the final minute when he was taken down as he threw an incompletion on third-and-10. When he got up, he swung at Panthers linebacker Cam Bright, shoving him in the facemask. With his ejection surely secured already, the senior decided to make it count.

A chart might use categories like “Time” and “Place. ” Note that a single preposition like “on” can appear in multiple categories—“on Wednesday” (time) and “on the table” (place)—which makes the inclusion of specific examples very helpful....
