It is unclear whether the phenomenon—dubbed “Buttergate”—is present in the U.S. But the Dairy Farmers of Canada lobby group said the harder butter was caused by an increase in palm oil fed to cows, a practice also seen on U.S. farms. In a piece for CTV News in Montreal, Professor Sylvain Charlebois from the agri-food analytics lab at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia said a rise in the amount of palm oil added to cow feed was “the most plausible reason....

Butter is set to be a specialist batsman, with Jonny Bairstow also included in a 12-man group and expected to play as wicketkeeper. Dom Bess, a 20-year-old offspinner, was handed his first call-up by England after a thumb injury ruled out Jack Leach, with Moeen Ali continuing to be overlooked. Bess has played only 16 first-class matches. It is the latest chapter in a turbulent test career for limited-overs specialist Buttler, who has played 18 times since his debut against India in July 2014....

KL Rahul made an unbeaten 95 but found little support from his Kings XI colleagues, meaning they fell comfortably short in their attempts to overhaul Rajasthan’s total of 158-8 in Jaipur. Indeed, Marcus Stoinis (11) was the only other player to reach double figures in a Kings XI innings that never recovered from the early loss of Chris Gayle. They finished on 143-7 even with 16 runs coming off the last over, opener Rahul hitting a six and two fours as he posted his highest score in the Twenty20 competition....

Polling showed him as the party’s leading candidate for president. Republican primary elections were defined by who supported him more than the other guy. And those he supported were generally accepted as the correct fit for the GOP of the future. This included then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican who, on the cusp of an anticipated red wave, earned Trump’s endorsement 213 days ago on June 4, 2022, for another term in Congress, a move to silent the whispers of dissent building against him....

In its statement, Microsoft focused on the political aspects of the acquisition. “Our proposal would have been good for TikTok users, while protecting national security interests,” insisted Microsoft, going on to describe how it would have made “significant changes” to the social media platform so as to meet the “highest standards for security, privacy, online safety, and combatting disinformation.” Microsoft discusses this perhaps out of fear of tensions between ByteDance and the Trump Administration rising in the weeks or months ahead....

CSK looked set to retain a trophy they have won three times when they needed nine off the last over to reach their victory target of 150 with Shane Watson at the crease. MS Dhoni’s side required four off two deliveries after Watson - man of the match in last year’s final having smashed an unbeaten century - was run out for 80 off 59 balls when coming back for a second after he had been dropped twice by Rahul Chahar....

Nottingham, Aug 21 (PTI) Jasprit Bumrah produced a hostile spell of fast bowling to put India on brink of a comprehensive victory before the final England pair delayed the inevitable on an engrossing fourth day of the third Test. Coming back from injury, Bumrah (5/85 in 29 overs) wreaked havoc with the second new ball after stiff resistance from Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes as England barely survived at 311 for 9 in pursuit of an improbable target of 521 runs....

Second-placed Dortmund dropped points in the hunt of front-runners Bayern Munich, as they were held to a two-all-draw in front of 61,670 spectators on the road, reports Xinhua. The “BVB” grabbed a better start into the game on Sunday. Meanwhile, Schalke needed some time to gain a foothold. As a consequence, Dortmund’s youngster Christian Pulisic created the first threatening chance for the visitors after pulling just wide of the far post with 23 minutes played....

After failing to sign Nabil Fekir, Klopp turned his attention towards signing Alisson and hence did not pursue anybody to fill in the ‘Little Magician’s’ boots. With Liverpool dropping points through draws since the start of the year, it looks as if Klopp will be regretting his decision at the end of the season. For next season, the German manager must sign a creative midfielder for the club. Hoffenheim’s Kerem Demirbay would be a perfect fit in Liverpool’s system....

Over on Twitter, Bungie shared 4 different box-art mashups and the highlights of the lot are the Halo and Destiny cover switches. The first shows a Destiny cross-over with the original Halo: Combat Evolved that shows a couple of guardians on what looks to be earth in front of a guardian on their speeder. The logo has also been changed to resemble the font of the original Halo: Combat Evolved logo....

Bungie has been aggressive with legal efforts since summer 2021, which saw the company file five lawsuits against Destiny 2 cheat software makers and sellers. Ubisoft joined the legal battle to aid Bungie since the same cheat group, Ring-1, was targeting Rainbow Six Siege with distribution of cheat software. 2022 has been a relentless year for Bungie as the company sued a player involved in roughly 100 fraudulent YouTube copyright takedowns against Destiny 2 content creators....

[HTML1] With some distance between E3 2013 and us, some developers have begun releasing their show floor demos to give those gamers not in attendance a taste of the action. So far, we have seen demos from Saints Row 4 and Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, and the list continues to grow. The most recent E3 game to throw its hat into the ring is Destiny, the new sci-fi shooter from original Halo developer Bungie....

Niger have just one win to their name and suffered 6-1 and 4-0 defeats at the hands of Algeria in the qualifying fixtures last month. Burkina Faso recorded 4-0 and 2-0 wins over Djibouti last month and will be looking to make it three wins in a row here. Burkina Faso vs Niger Head-to-Head There have been 13 meetings between the two sides across all competitions, though most of them have been friendly affairs....

Burma’s authorities say they began alerting their citizens immediately after the U.N. World Meteorological Organization (WMO)–alerted by a weather station in India–says it informed Burma’s Department of Meteorology and Hydrology of the cyclone. That was on April 27, five days ahead of the storm’s landfall. The WMO hasn’t been able to verify the Burmese claim, but whatever happened, alerting the 6 million people living in the isolated nation’s Irrawaddy Delta was no small task....

Gray broke the deadlock after 30 minutes at Turf Moor, making the most of some abysmal Sunderland defending and setting the tone for another dreadful day for Moyes. He wrapped up his hat-trick with two goals in just under three second-half minutes before Ashley Barnes’ 67th-minute penalty added to Sunderland’s humiliation. Jermain Defoe did restore some pride for Sunderland four minutes later, but his effort will provide little comfort for a team that lost Lamine Kone to injury 24 minutes in and saw Victor Anichebe sustain a hamstring problem....

It seems by the time he gets to the end of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, he already has been eliminated from contention. So he has watched what other drivers do, and what other successful athletes do, in hopes of turning his strong regular-season performance into a championship effort. "You watch guys that are good at what they do and what they can achieve in their own realm of what they're doing," Busch said Tuesday at the NASCAR Hall of Fame....

So consider these scenes from March 2004, described by two former top Justice officials who, like other ex-officials interviewed by NEWSWEEK, did not wish to be identified discussing sensitive internal matters. Attorney General John Ashcroft is really sick. About to give a press conference in Virginia, he is stricken with pain so severe he has to lie down on the floor. Taken to the hospital for an emergency gallbladder operation, he hallucinates under medication as he lies, near death, in intensive care....

If financial news makes you think of ticker tapes and dull men in gray suits, you obviously haven’t been tuning in lately. CNBC, which bills itself as a business-news network, has won a loyal following by obsessively covering the market–including Bartiromo’s information-filled reports. But the network owes the robustness of its bottom line–about $85 million in profits in 1996 –to non-news extras: tabloid-talk-show star Geraldo Rivera (who hosts CNBC’s most-watched program) and infomercials....

Two and a half years after the start of the pandemic, it’s clear that hybrid and remote work are here to stay. Allowing employees to work from a location of their choice is now table stakes for companies looking to recruit and retain top talent. But facilitating this transition demands a high level of IT infrastructure, including unified end-point management of users, devices, applications, and locations, along with their necessary permissions and credentials....

“I’m not into comparisons,” Jones said when asked how the situations were different between Baylor and Tennessee (via ESPN.com). “All I can speak on is the University of Tennessee. I feel strongly as everybody in our organization that we’ve done the right things. I’m proud of the culture that we have built.” MORE: Early bowl projections | Verne Lundquist stepping away after 2016 Tennessee, like Baylor, is facing a Title IX lawsuit....
