☆ Special mud rubbed on all MLB baseballs has unique, 'magical' properties, study finds

The Summary For years, a special mud has been rubbed on every baseball before every major league game to make them less slippery. Called Lena Blackburne Baseball Rubbing Mud, it comes from a single source: a secret spot along the banks of a tributary of the Delaware River. The magic mud is applied to every ball used in Major League Baseball, including in this year’s World Series. The authors concluded that any attempt to create a synthetic substance to replace the mud — something Major League Baseball has explored — would be foolish. An undated photo shows Burns Bintliff, a prior owner of Lena Blackburne Rubbing Mud, with a can of mud.

Violent unrest has erupted in several towns and cities in Britain in recent days, and further disorder broke out on Saturday as far-right agitators gathered in demonstrations around the country. The violence has been driven by online disinformation and extremist right-wing groups intent on creating disorder after a deadly knife attack on a children’s event in northwestern England, experts said. A range of far-right factions and individuals, including neo-Nazis, violent soccer fans and anti-Muslim campaigners, have promoted and taken part in the unrest, which has also been stoked by online influencers. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has vowed to deploy additional police officers to crack down on the disorder. “It is a group of individuals who are absolutely bent on violence.”

How does Britain vote? The United Kingdom — which consists of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales — is divided into 650 constituencies. Voters in each constituency select a candidate to represent them as a member of Parliament, and the political party that wins the most seats usually forms the next government. That party’s leader also becomes prime minister.

On Monday night, Buckingham Palace made a sudden announcement that King Charles III had been diagnosed with cancer, less than 18 months after beginning his reign. What do we know about the king’s diagnosis? Buckingham Palace said on Monday night that “a form of cancer” had been diagnosed, but did not state what kind, and asked that reporters not try to contact those involved in Charles’s care. The palace said that doctors had identified “an issue of concern” while treating Charles, 75, last month for an enlarged prostate. They confirmed cancer — though not prostate cancer — with subsequent tests.

☆ U.K. Cabinet Reshuffle Britain’s Home Secretary Is Fired, and David Cameron Returns to Government

Suella Braverman, who was fired from her post as Britain’s home secretary on Monday, had long been a divisive figure at the heart of the governing Conservative Party whose provocative rhetoric won her support on the hard right while alienating more moderate colleagues. The police said that around 145 people were arrested on Saturday, most of whom were counterprotesters, and that nine officers had been injured. In the piece, Ms. Braverman accused the police of a “double standard” in the way they handled protests. Ms. Braverman had made it clear that she wanted the march on Saturday to be banned in part because it coincided with Armistice Day. The article by Ms. Braverman, published a few hours later, appeared to undermine his stance.
