Residents of British Columbia will change their clocks this weekend as daylight saving time shifts into place and then will never do so again. The Canadian province is permanently adopting the new clock, officials announced on Monday, ending the twice-a-year ritual of changing every clock you own.

This one is about the first amateur sumo club in NYC. When Oscar Dolan realized there were no amateur clubs in the city, he begrudgingly started his own. That was three years ago. Earlier this month, the club held its first tournament. But this about more than sumo. It’s about community
