The first recipient was the late Sean McBride for his work for human rights worldwide.

“The last recipient was former President Mary Robinson – she received the 2018 award in 2019 because you receive it the following year.”
“So hopefully with restrictions easing later in the year it should be possible to have an award presentation sometime perhaps late in 2021. Therefore we’re seeking nominations for a two year period – 2019 and 2020.”

The Super Bowl is coming. And America is running out of chicken wings.

America, we have another crisis. You’re running out of chicken wings.
Days before the Super Bowl, a veritable annual chicken wing holiday, food service providers are scrambling to get their hands on these delectable morsels of poultry - and paying top dollar for them, too.
The US chicken wing market is dominated by the sports calendar. Consumption and sales peak right before the Super Bowl in February and a month and a half later before the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Prices generally ebb and flow with that schedule, spiking before the competitions and coming back down to earth steadily through the rest of the year.
