In the 1940s, Mexican artist Diego Rivera had a dream: to build a sacred place to preserve and display his lifelong collection of pre-Hispanic art. The Anahuacalli Museum in Mexico City, which turns 60 this month, is everything he hoped for. Each roof and corner from its pyramid structure honors the Mexica worldview. Among its 60,000 pieces, dozens of sculptures representing ancient deities greet its visitors. And though foreigners visit on a regular basis, its temporary exhibitions, workshops and year-round activities aim to connect the neighboring communities to their historic roots.

Supporters of such efforts cite concerns about students' mental health and distractions in the classroom.
Romania says a Russian drone violated its airspace during nighttime attacks on neighboring Ukraine and urged Moscow to stop what it described as an escalation. The Romanian Defense Ministry says the incident occurred Sunday as Russia carried out attacks on “civilian targets and port infrastructure” across the Danube River in Ukraine. Romania deployed F-16 warplanes to monitor its airspace. Romanian emergency authorities also issued text alerts to residents of two eastern regions. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Romania has confirmed drone fragments on its territory on several occasions and as recently as July this year.

Some Paralympians live with a disability all their lives. Carson Clough is not one of those people. Clough played lacrosse for North Carolina and knew nothing about the Paralympics until he was involved in a 2019 boating accident that required a below-the-knee amputation of his right leg. He’s one example of many among the 4,000-plus athletes at the Paris Paralympics who came to have a disability later in life or only learned of the Paralympics when they were adults. For them, para sport has offered a new direction and sense of purpose to their athletic careers. Clough himself went from having no knowledge of the Paralympics to winning a silver medal in Paris.

Israeli first responders say two people have been shot and seriously wounded near the border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan. Israeli police said the shooter was killed, without providing further details. The border crossing is used by Palestinians, Israelis and international tourists. Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service said two people were in serious condition after Sunday's attack. The Israeli-occupied West Bank has seen a surge of violence since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack out of Gaza triggered the war there. Israel has launched near-daily military arrest raids into dense Palestinian residential areas, and there has also been a rise in settler violence and Palestinian attacks on Israelis.
