It helped that both got to play Monday on Centre Court, the only spot at the All England Club with a retractable roof. And with back-to-back, straight-set victories, they moved closer to a semifinal showdown that would be a rematch of the final last year, when Murray beat Djokovic to become the first British man since 1936 to win Wimbledon. “Sometimes the scheduling works in your favor. Sometimes the weather works in your favor,” Murray said....
To understand muscle and joint movements, there are four things to keep in mind: Movement happens at joints as one bone acts freely as the other remains relatively stationary. The bones can and do switch roles depending on the action you’re making and the position you’re in. An example is the comparison of hip flexion while walking versus while bending over. Both use the same hip action—flexion—but when you walk, your leg is freely mobile....
Denis Arbatov and Elizabeth Garginian adopted the Applehead Chihuahua Macaroni seven years ago, and have since discovered his love for a good tune. In a video shared on Reddit and Instagram, Macaroni can be seen curled up on top of a subwoofer. Alongside the footage, Arbatov wrote: “My chihuahua’s favorite song is ‘Sandstorm’ by Darude. He won’t leave the subwoofer when it plays.” “When Macaroni comes with us on an outing....
The billionaire technologist, who spearheads electric car company Tesla and rocket firm SpaceX, voiced his opinion about the infectious respiratory disease on social media today, asserting that hospitalizations and death rates are currently declining. Musk tweeted: “There are a ridiculous number of false positive C19 tests, in some cases ~50%. False positives scale linearly with # of tests. “This is a big part of why C19 positive tests are going up while hospitalizations and mortality are declining....
The federal lawsuit against the City of Detroit, the Detroit Detention Center and the Michigan Department of Corrections is in response to an incident involving Zainab Chaaban in April 2019. Detroit Police arrested Chaaban following a domestic incident at her home involving her husband, for which she was later cleared of all charges. After being taken to the Detroit Detention Center for processing, she was asked to remove her hijab in full view of male officers while her mugshot was taken....
My partner is very passive and his brother (71-year-old) dominates him in a verbally abusive manner. He insists on staying in our small house each year for eight days and refuses to stay in a hotel, as this is his childhood home. I was diagnosed with leukemia last year and said I couldn’t be around him because of it and his response was that COVID-19 is mild now and refused to do a COVID-19 test....
MORE: Wrestlers gone too soon | ‘Macho Man’ enters WWE Hall of Fame 1. Crushing Ricky Steamboat’s throat with the ringbell (1986) Oh man, this was the one that really got me hooked on wrestling. The Paul Orndorff turn on Hulk Hogan was what brought me into the fold shortly after Wrestlemania 2, but this was what sealed it. It stemmed from Steamboat challenging Savage for the Intercontinental title on “WWF Superstars” one week....
Four years ago I began investigating the murder of Houston socialite Doris Angleton in order to write a book about the case. I interviewed countless witnesses and chased leads in Houston and in six states. I had little idea then that my research would eventually cost me my freedom. Doris was the wife of Robert Angleton, a bookie who took bets from Houston’s rich and powerful. He had friends (and clients) in high places, including the district attorney’s office and the police department....
Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani, the former Saudi oil minister, once said, “The Stone Age came to an end not for a lack of stones, and the Oil Age will end, but not for lack of oil.” It is the climate crisis that is the forcing mechanism for a change away from the fuels of the Industrial Revolution to a new age. As many know, the Chinese expression for “crisis” consists of two characters side by side: the first is the symbol for “danger,” the second the symbol for “opportunity....
I went off to college in the ’70s, studied ecology, and grew more alarmed about our society’s blind eye to the consequences of our unconscious obsession with economic growth. I learned that open space, clean air and water, and our increasing carbon footprint had been relegated to what economists call “externalized costs” that lie outside the income statement and balance sheet, and therefore did not exist in economic terms. Collectively we labored under other myths, like the idea that there is a place called “away” where we can send our CO2, pollution and toxins....
It’s not entirely clear how myositis ossificans forms. It’s believed that fibroblasts, which are cells that are involved in the healing response of injury might incorrectly differentiate into bone forming cells. The word myositis ossificans means that bone forms within the muscle, and this occurs at the site of the injury. Myositis ossificans is a self-limited disease process that will generally resolve on its own. Signs Aching pain within the muscle that persists longer than expected with a normal muscle contusion Limited mobility of joints surrounding the injured muscle Swelling or firmness of the muscle group, sometimes extending throughout the extremity...
Known as a fogbow, as well as a white rainbow, this ethereal apparition is a much less common sight than its rainy counterpart, the rainbow. “[The picture] was taken at Hawk Hill in the Marin Headlands [peninsula],” photographer Stuart Berman, who lives in San Francisco’s Russian Hill neighborhood, told Newsweek. “I saw it for about 15-20 minutes, but it was still there when I left” Like rainbows, fogbows are caused by a similar physical phenomenon, with light being refracted by fog droplets as opposed to rain droplets....
By analyzing the Temple Scroll—one of the largest, best preserved of all the scrolls—scientists found the parchment had been processed in an unexpected and unusual way, providing an insight into how to preserve it in future. The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of 981 Hebrew texts found between 1946 and 1956 in caves in the Judean desert. They are believed to have been hidden just under 2,000 years earlier to protect them from Roman invaders....
Not long after San Francisco and Kansas City won their respective conference championships with relative ease on Sunday night some of those narratives unfortunately started to already rear their ugly heads. Let’s go ahead and bust those myths now, shall we? IYER: How the 49ers built a Super Bowl team in three years Myth 1: “It’s the 49ers’ elite defense vs. the Chiefs’ explosive offense” This is totally ignoring the fact San Francisco actually is the better overall offensive team in Super Bowl 54....
Lindell, who for months has claimed he has proof that the 2020 election results were hacked despite never providing anything remotely substantial, gave no further details such as the name of the apparent 850-year-old, or where they voted. The clip of Lindell making the unsubstantiated claims on his own website was posted onto Twitter by Salon reporter Zachary Petrizzo. “I’m going to give an example today, and I’m not going to say what state we pulled from the voter rolls to one of our team, we have a team that goes through all of it now with this other system that pulls up all anomalies....
Lindell lobbed the charges against the retail giant during multiple appearances on right-wing talk shows Wednesday and Thursday. Walmart’s decision to no longer carry MyPillow products in it thousands of stores is the latest blowback for the combative CEO who has fervently pushed Trump’s exhaustively debunked claim that the 2020 presidential election saw rampant fraud. Speaking on political strategist Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Lindell said a Walmart executive broke the news to him over a video call that the company would no longer be carrying his bedding products in response to sagging customer ratings....
Raskin, a Democrat who represents Maryland’s 8th congressional district, spoke to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes about Pence’s behavior on the day of the deadly Capitol riot and how events could have unfolded differently. As vice president, Pence was tasked with overseeing the final certification of the Electoral College votes - a largely ceremonial role. However, he had come under pressure from Trump and others who wanted him to reject results favoring President Joe Biden and prevent the Democrat from winning the White House....
The former vice president was speaking at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, at an event hosted by the Young America’s Foundation, a conservative youth organization. It attracted around 500 people, Des Moines Register reported, the majority students. During a question-and-answer session after a speech by Pence, an audience member asked him who convinced him “to buck President Trump’s plan and certify the votes?” His reply, “James Madison,” was met with applause....
Pompeo, who will depart office Wednesday when President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in, went on a tweeting spree Tuesday morning before his U.S. government social media account will be archived and turned over to the incoming administration. After tweeting a photo of the Constitution and a famous painting of the nation’s first president, George Washington, he attacked “woke-ism” and multiculturalism. “Woke-ism, multiculturalism, all the -isms — they’re not who America is....
