Meet the titanosaur: Dinosaur giant goes on display in Europe for...
London CNN — In the venerated halls of London’s Natural History Museum, one of the largest animals ever to walk the Earth is about to make its debut. Patagotitan mayorum, a dinosaur giant belonging to a group known as titanosaurs, is visiting Europe for the first time since its discovery in Argentina in 2010. Over five meters (16 feet) tall and weighing over two and a half metric tons, its skeleton will give visitors an idea of what this gentle giant, which could have weighed as much as 57 metric tons and stretched over 120 feet, would have looked like when it lived on Earth around 100 million years ago. A team of technicians is putting the finishing touches to the star exhibit, which arrived in the UK in January and has been reconstructed in a room with a specially reinforced floor, said Sinead Marron, exhibition and interpretation manager at…

‘Divisive hearings distracted from racism issue’
The hearing was closure for me - RafiqPerhaps there is now the opportunity to tackle the issue at hand.Eighteen months after Azeem Rafiq told MPs that English cricket is "institutionally racist", a verdict on charges brought about in relation to Rafiq's experiences at Yorkshire has been delivered.For various reasons, not least the lengthy period of time taken to get to this point, the Cricket Disciplinary Commission hearing effectively became the public trial of English cricket's racism issue.In reality, it descended into a circus of claim and counter-claim, non-cooperation and questions over the England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) simultaneous role as regulator and investigator.That is not to say a disciplinary process is not without merit. Victims and alleged victims should be given the opportunity at justice, the accused a chance to defend themselves, wrongdoing punished.But, in this instance, the protracted battle has only deepened division.
