Teams walk Congo streets daily, but not to sell anything. They knock on doors to clear up dangerous myths about Ebola. The effort focuses on Mongbwalu, a town caught in the middle of the outbreak. Health workers explain simple safety steps and when to reach out for help. Some locals listen and chang
Teams that play video‑game sounds when a penalty ends and fans who sing the same pop hit at every game can feel like a joke to outsiders. In hockey, for example, the Penguins and Sabres have been heard blasting a “1‑up” chime from Super Mario whenever a player comes out of the box. The idea is to
