The Selective Service System (SSS) has changed the rules: previously, eligible men were required to register themselves within 30 days of turning 18. Now, eligible men will be registered automatically instead.
Union Berlin has made history after appointing Marie-Louise Eta as their new head coach, becoming the first club in Europe's top five leagues to have a female head coach. Eta takes the job on an interim basis until the end of the season, having previously served as the club's assistant and U19 manager.
President Donald Trump said US forces obliterated military targets on Kharg Island off the coast of Iran in the Persian Gulf where 90% of Iran's oil is exported.

It may sound trivial, but placing two porta-potties at a build site instead of just one that everyone uses-measures like that are important for developing an inclusive culture."
I've achieved all this while flying nearly every 'red flag' that people say is antithetical to a successful academic career.
