One of the early discovery sites is Pandora, founded by former musician Tim Westergren. While working as a film composer, Westergren found that directors often had difficulty describing the sort of sound they wanted. He learned it was best to have them pick a few songs they knew that fit their criteria; then he would create something like them. That got him thinking about what could happen if you understood what he called “the DNA of music....
Like the stately, five-star Hotel Nacional, Segundo is something of a national monument. As the smiling icon of the Buena Vista Social Club, he represents the Cuba that Fidel Castro’s Ministry of Tourism wants to market to the outside world. And his crisply paced 75-minute set delivers the goods with a panache that is irresistible, especially after a few mojito cocktails. A brisk seven-minute walk away, the seedy Las Vegas Cabaret offers up a slightly more subversive version of Cuban culture....
Man Utd confident of Morata deal Referees will have the power to halt, suspend and even abandon matches should instances of racism occur during the tournament, with trained observers to be deployed in support of the initiative. Speaking at a media conference to mark the opening of the event, Mutko was questioned on reports of far-right behaviour and racism during Russian Premier League matches. “We are grateful to FIFA, [it is] with great satisfaction we have welcomed this decision and [hope] that the system which will be strict,” he said....
Depending on my mood, the answer can be a three-part speech on the decay of moral values, educational-attainment levels and teenage motherhood. Other times I simply tell them the defendants put themselves in the penitentiary and I facilitated their exodus from the community. Or better yet, my favorite answer: I didn’t put the crack in their pocket and a gun in the other. It’s difficult to combat the impression that somehow I am personally persecuting these men and not performing a public function of law enforcement....
Like many brilliant ideas, the creation of my cancer skirt was born out of adversity, and the frame of mind one finds oneself in while sitting on one’s deck on a sunny June morning, having just been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. The doorbell rang. It was the UPS man, delivering a denim skirt I had ordered days before I had discovered the lump. I opened the package, took it out of the box, and the proverbial light bulb went off in my head....
It’s not that I have anything against women keeping their names. It’s just my name, Schmelling. Look at it. It contains 10 letters, 8 of them consonants. It has ready-made playground insults an average third grader could decipher in two seconds, it makes telemarketers gasp and, for reasons I’ve never been able to fathom, as it’s really just “smelling” with a “shh” at the start, there’s still a 90 percent likelihood it won’t be pronounced correctly outside of the Midwest or Northern Europe....
The military junta, or Tatmadaw, is now in charge of who can mine for jade and is able to hand out jade mining permits, said Keel Dietz, one of the report’s authors, to the Associated Press. The junta’s full control of the country’s lucrative and conflict-ridden jade mining provides it with profits and leverage for consolidating power, the report said. Global Witness and other groups want stronger sanctions to be imposed on Myanmar’s military....
The Browns were crushed by Bill Belichick and the Patriots on Sunday, 45-17. It’s the latest turn in a wishy-washy season for Cleveland, that’s fallen very short of expectations so far. After a 3-1 start, they’re 2-4 in their last six as the defensive efforts have flip-flopped between pretty good and very, very bad. Garrett, though, is cutting through the noise and delivering an off-the-field sack — on his coaching staff....
When his co-host questioned his claim, Lindell said that his accusation was “just an analogy.” Since the 2020 presidential elections, Lindell, a longtime supporter of former President Donald Trump, has used his public platform to accuse various election officials of wrongdoing. His election claims have not only failed to materialize substantial evidence, but they’ve also made him the target of a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit. In a Wednesday broadcast of his online show, Lindell discussed Griswold’s alleged treatment of Sherronna Bishop, a woman whose house was searched by county, state and FBI officials in November 2021 in connection with an election security investigation....
Lindell said that Fox News was one several entities being investigated for alleged involvement in an election fraud conspiracy against former President Donald Trump during a Friday appearance on former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s War Room: Pandemic podcast. He suggested that Fox’s recent reluctance to discuss election fraud claims against voting software and hardware companies Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems was suspicious. Smartmatic filed a $2.7 billion lawsuit against the network for allegedly spreading election misinformation in February....
The YouTuber, identified as Matthew Nunez, made the discovery at around 6.45 p.m. on August 10. He was making a film inside the multi-use building in Milwaukee, according to Fox 6. He called the police after finding the body on the second floor. Officers entered via the roof of the long abandoned building which once housed a church located near MLK Drive and Burleigh Street. They found the deceased in what appeared to be a bedroom....
On Wednesday, Stadium’s Jeff Goodman reported that Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski will retire after the conclusion of the upcoming season. He is one of only five coaches with more than 1,000 wins. Goodman reported that associate head coach Jon Scheyer is the leading candidate to replace Krzyzewski. DECOURCY: Duke lost big in 2020-21 Krzyzewski has been at the helm of Duke’s men’s basketball team since 1980 and has turned the program into a powerhouse....
In a thread on the app on Tuesday, a day after Frank was supposed to launch for people worldwide, a wave of users who were eager to make profiles on the new website were once again left confused and frustrated by a lack of key functionality. Lindell claimed on a livestream hosted on FrankSpeech.com that the account creation would start rolling out for users on Tuesday but did not provide an explicit reason for multiple delays....
Lindell, a conspiracy theorist and an ally of former President Donald Trump, held a MAGA Frank Free Speech rally at the River’s Edge Apple River concert venue in New Richmond, Wisconsin, on Saturday. The conservative businessman has been a key promoter of Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was “stolen” by President Joe Biden and the Democrats. These groundless allegations have been thoroughly litigated and wholly debunked. The free outdoor event’s gates opened at 9 a....
Speaking at the Heritage Foundation on Wednesday, Pence criticized the current administration’s rejoining of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Paris Climate Accord. “Weakness arouses evil and my sense is that China senses weakness in this new administration,” Pence said. “China may not yet be an evil empire, but it’s working hard every day to become one.” Newsweek reached out to the Biden administration for comment, but did not receive a response in time for publication....
Gohmert filed the lawsuit against Pence on Monday, which sought to prevent Pence from declaring President-elect Joe Biden the winner of the Electoral College. Congress is expected to meet on Wednesday to certify Biden’s victory. In his lawsuit, Gohmert alleged that Pence has “exclusive authority and sole discretion to open and permit the counting of the electoral votes for a given state.” Since President Donald Trump has claimed that voter fraud in some states tipped the election in Biden’s favor, Gohmert alleged that Pence’s expected certification of Biden’s win would be “unconstitutional....
“If this Administration unwinds that and goes back to the crappy deal that we had with Iran when President Obama was in office, America will be less secure,” he explained during an interview with radio talk show host John Catsimatidis on WABC 770. “Israel will be less secure. The Middle East will be less secure. And the entire region will be less stable,” Pompeo added. Pompeo defended the work that former President Donald Trump’s administration did with Iran, saying that under Trump the U....
But on Thursday night, the former pugilist went to PNC Park to throw out the first pitch. He did a good job, but it wasn't spectacular. Then again, would you say that to Mike Tyson's face?

The Tennessee coach used an interesting loophole in the rulebook that ended up saving his team time at the end of the game. And the Titans needed that time, as they ended up scoring the game-tying touchdown with just four seconds left in regulation. Vrabel’s move was to intentionally put too many players on the field as a way to save time. The move was initially spotted by a Reddit user....
Zimmer, who was a defensive analyst last season at Jackson State, was announced by Sanders on Thee Pregame Show on YouTube Monday. Sanders revealed the addition of Zimmer and longtime college head coach Willie Taggart in extremely laid-back fashion. Neither is listed on the university’s official website yet. “Taggart’s coming, too, by the way,” Sanders said. “Coach Zimmer’s coming, too, by the way. So another two head coaches. One in the NFL as well as collegiate....
