The 6-6, 260-pound freshman forward stole a pass at halfcourt and then leaped so forcefully for a dunk that his hands slipped off the rim. MORE: Craziest dunkers | 13 teams who could miss the tournament | How far are other coaches from 1,000 wins? Alie-Cox went boom. Straight on his belly. He was no worse for the wear, and the Rams went on to trounce the Colonials 72-48.

That ability to capture the everyday and make it accessible has helped turn Ju into one of Asia’s best-known sculptors. Over the next six months, millions of people will see 72 of his works at the Singapore Art Museum (through Sept. 19) and at indoor public spaces around the city-state (through the end of the year) before the exhibition moves to Beijing and Shanghai in 2005. Ju’s semiabstract works, with their emphasis on organic representation, have prompted comparisons to Western sculptors like Rodin and Henry Moore....

They still do. But pity the poor 5-year-old who drops his drawers on a playdate today. What we used to think of as harmless exploration now seems like nasty business. I know that awareness of child sex abuse has soared, and parents have been traumatized by revelations like the fact that a single Roman Catholic priest in Boston had abused 150 children. I understand the general anxiety about kids and sex; it creeps me out to think that my perfect, innocent 7-year-old daughter is actually a sexual being....

In August, authorities in Japan ordered that three batches of Moderna shots, equivalent to about 1.6 million doses, would have to be recalled because particles of stainless steel were discovered inside. The shots were manufactured via a contract with the Madrid-based pharmaceutical lab Rovi, and then imported and distributed in Japan by the Japanese pharmaceutical firm Takeda. After the contamination was discovered, a joint investigation was launched by Moderna, Takeda and Rovi, which found that the stainless steel contamination was due to incorrectly assembled machinery putting the tops on vaccine vials, Reuters reported earlier today, citing the findings....

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said nonfarm payroll employment rose by 559,000 in May, taking the unemployment rate down by 0.3 percentage points to 5.8 percent. It is a marked improvement on April’s 278,000 figure, but not quite the bounce many had hoped for. A fundamental question remains the same: to what extent is the enhanced unemployment benefit stopping people from filling vacancies? That $300 enhancement expires in September, though 25 states have opted out of the additional federal benefit in June....

Feels Good and Does Good With the exception of certain types of massage, moist heat treatment is perhaps the most relaxing of all the physical therapy modalities. It’s often used at the beginning of a physical therapy session to loosen your muscles and get them ready for exercise. About Moist Heat Packs Moist heat packs used in physical therapy clinics are made of bentonite covered in canvas. The packs are stored in very hot (158 to 167 degrees F) water....

In a post on London-based Internet forum Mumsnet on Monday, user OptimusPrime31 explained her dilemma as she worried about the potential dangers of her child’s image being online. “It feels like they’re just posting photos to showboat to people at work or their neighbours,” said the mom. Research has found that 92 percent of American children will have some form of online presence by the time they are two years old, while more than a third of children will have so-called “digital lives” before they are even born, as parents share scan pictures and updates during pregnancy....

Amanda Ware, 43, has always loved the festive season, especially decorating her home in Bentonville, Arkansas. But, she never thought she could turn her love for Christmas into a career. Now, five years after quitting her job as a school teacher, Amanda charges an average of $1,000 to decorate each Christmas tree for her clients, ahead of December 25. She told Newsweek she earns all her income during the final quarter of the year, decorating a minimum of 100 trees, and selling decorations, such as ribbons, baubles, stockings, and more....

Johanna Clark, from Australia, uploaded a clip to her Tiktok page, @pink_nade, showing her child, 12-year-old Nathaniel, sporting the unusual hairdo. “Am I a bad mum for gletting my son cut his hair like Mr Burns [sic],” she captioned the footage, which can be seen here. The youngster re-enacts Mr. Burns’ famous line and mannerisms—saying Smithers while interlocking his fingers together. Clark captioned the clip: “Gargomal or Limmeny Snickets even?...

On popular London-based discussion site Mumsnet, user simonsay shared her dilemma with hundreds of others. She explained: “I’m considering declining a weekend away for my friend’s 30th birthday surprise. I can’t sleep thinking about this, so I need it off my chest.” With each friend’s birthday celebration getting bigger and bigger, the stress of the mounting costs had started to trouble the Mumsnet user. The weekend was looking to cost upwards of $350 per person and was far away from where the woman lived, causing more stress....

The angry parent shared the altercation on Mumsnet, under the apt username MumTrain, as she explained that, after a long day out, her son was understandably tired. But her response to a fellow passenger on the train who asked the toddler to quiet down has been branded an overreaction. In the U.K., where the mom is thought to be based, trains are a popular mode of public transportation, as data from 2019, from the Department of Transport, revealed there had been 1....

Sharing on Thursday on discussion site Mumsnet, user Fgstd explained: “I’m venting really. [I’ve] been through an awful couple of days and had a couple of cigarettes yesterday in the garden whilst the kids were at school. Showered after, washed clothes, and brushed [my] teeth.” She explained that her 15-year-old is usually a little obsessed with what she is doing, where she is going, and who she is talking to on the phone....

Sean McCarragher shared a clip to his TikTok page, @seanmccarragher1, on Monday, showing him dressed in a suit at a formal gathering at Belfast Castle. He turns to the camera and begins rapping the introduction to Cardi B’s hit song, “Up,” which includes a swear word. The 23-year-old, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, starts to get into the expletive-ridden song as he begins to dance, but he’s halted in his tracks by an icy glare from his sister....

In a post shared on Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) subforum, the mother of four, who has the username Crystalpaula3, said: “This is so wrong but I can’t stop.” She added that the worker, whom she later realized used to work at a local shop in her area, sent her a friend request on Facebook last week. The user said: “He started messaging me, he asked [whether] my children [were] enjoying the club, then progressed onto him talking about his career choices and before I realized it, we had been messaging for 4 hours....

A total of six players from the league-winning team are named in the game’s Ultimate Team for the division, but the precocious Mbappe misses out. Zidane names ultimate Galactico Radamel Falcao, who scored 21 goals in 29 appearances, is joined by midfield pair Thomas Lemar and Bernardo Silva, as well as defensive duo Kamil Glik and Benjamin Mendy, while Danijel Subasic was deemed the best goalkeeper. Paris Saint-Germain are the next best represented team, boasting three players in the XI with Marco Verratti and Thiago Silva joining top goalscorer Edinson Cavani....

Back in Week 3, it was Luke Falk making his first NFL start in the Jets’ 30-14 loss in New England. New York went 0-for-12 on third downs, mustering just 105 total yards. The Jets will need a very different performance from Darnold against a historically great Patriots defense through six games. It should also be noted that the Jets defense also adds reinforcements for this second bout with the Patriots, as star linebacker C....

McMahon’s vision of the cruiserweight show was apparently wacky stories about Alicia Fox being crazy and 18 segments a week featuring Enzo Amore talking and/or Drew Gulak doing Powerpoint presentations. Given the overwhelming positive reviews and support for the Cruiserweight Classic tournament that launched the division, it makes it all the sadder to watch the show rot away and turn into the graveyard for the careers of guys like Austin Aries and Neville....

Some of the picks involve making determinations based on fantasy points – there are over/under choices, called “More or Less,” while the Rapidfire choices ask you to choose one player to outperform a specific number. Monkey Knife Fight also often gives you the choice of choosing a bigger goal on some of the props in the hopes of getting a bigger payout. You can choose your given buy-in for a prop based on your own personal bankroll, too....
