It was a victory cheered on by a member of the original A Team TV series, with Mr....

Over the past few days, MrBeast had been hyping his riddle on social media, suggesting it took 100 days and $250,000 to construct what Donaldson thought would be the hardest riddle the internet has ever seen. It began with an unlisted clip on his YouTube channel which managed to accumulate more than 1.2 million views over a handful of hours and kicked off a quest that spread across Discords and subreddits....

Goal count down the Worst Flops from the top competitions in the Malaysian football season in 2017, and here’s number 1. When it comes to transfers, every club and team in the world has hits and misses, and it’s no different with Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT). For every Luciano Figueroa, there’s a Jeronimo Barrales. The 30-year-old Argentine did not even last a handful of games with JDT before being shipped down to Johor Darul Ta’zim II (JDTII)....

For several days, a singular city becomes the center of the professional basketball world as the game’s biggest stars — both young and old — converge to meet in one spot. This fact was doubly true in 2022, as Cleveland was the city in which the NBA honored its past, present and future while celebrating its 75th anniversary season.

In a statement sent to Newsweek, a police department spokesperson “officers arrived within 2.5 minutes to a hectic scene of people who had been shot near the walkway/back entrance to Wow Hall, with a loud and frantic crowd.” One of the victims is still in critical condition, according to the police. Lil Bean and Zay Bang were among the event’s performers. The police said that five of the victims were out of town and traveled to attend the concert....

It is important that you are aware of this potential effect of MS and that you discuss any concerns about your breathing with your healthcare provider. Symptoms Mild respiratory weakness can manifest with shallow breathing, which can be fast or slow. You may not notice this at first, as you might just consider it the way you normally breathe. Regardless, shallow breathing can make you feel run down. Even fairly mild breathing problems can contribute to your MS-related fatigue and may make you feel that you aren’t well rested, even after a full night’s sleep....

Hauck had few friends at Viewmont High School, where he was an A student. He was arrested Wednesday night in Missoula, Mont., where he and his mother lived before she divorced and moved to Utah. Family members say Jeremy was antisocial and utterly dependent on his mother. “He was an odd kid,” says his uncle, Michael Umphrey. “He was never forthcoming–one-word answers and a cryptic smile.” Now Hauck faces possible first-degree murder charges and a potential life sentence if convicted....

Trouble? More than 30 years since the watershed clashes that left hundreds of Malaysian-Chinese dead, Malaysia is once again grappling with the specter of racial violence. This time it’s between the country’s Malay majority and Indian minority. And while this month’s events–which claimed the life of Ganesan, among others–did not reach the ferocious levels of 1969, the outbreak has placed fresh pressure on the Malaysian government to find a new approach to an old problem....

Spector’s influence on pop music is incalculable. He either co-wrote, produced or performed (or, in many cases, all of the above) on the most enduring songs of the 20th century. This is no hyperbole: “Spanish Harlem,” “On Broadway,” “Da Doo Ron Ron,” “Be My Baby,” “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” “Unchained Melody,” “River Deep, Mountain High,” the Beatles’ farewell album “Let It Be” (which infuriated Paul McCartney), both George Harrison and John Lennon’s first solo albums as well as Lennon’s “Imagine” all bear his stamp....

The latest cell phones, with their blistering download speeds, promise to accelerate the trend. Today most major labels in South Korea have departments that specialize in mobile phones and new media. Video-streaming services were offered for the first time last spring, which spawned music videos for cell phones. With more than 32 million cell-phone subscribers in Korea, the industry’s biggest problem so far has been divvying up the loot. Phone companies take the lion’s share of revenues–as much as 50 percent–with 15 to 25 percent going to labels....

In 2014, Clayton Lockett wasn’t fully sedated before his lethal ejection, which led to him to regaining consciousness during the procedure and experiencing sharp pain before his death. In 2015, Charles Warner cried out, “My body is on fire!” as he was executed by lethal injection. Officials later revealed one of the drugs used in the execution was not authorized by the state’s protocol. Following these botched executions, state officials instituted a moratorium on the death penalty....

I remember working until 5 at my job and then, once home, getting up on a ladder and working on my house until 9. In the past two decades I have remodeled, with my own two hands, more houses than most people will ever own in a lifetime. As I got through with the settlement for property No. 10, I speculated that this would be my final purchase. Two years later, I bought an apartment building....

I grew up Catholic in California, a sure-fire recipe for schizophrenia. I would attend mass every morning, then spend the rest of the day flirting with the ’60s trinity of temptations–sex, drugs and rock and roll. In 1971, I joined a seminary program attached to a coed Catholic university, so that I could study for the priesthood while keeping an eye on what I would be giving up. The seminarians I encountered were truly decent young men; there wasn’t an obvious pedophile in the lot....

I certainly did not need a dog. Dogs require care and feeding. They can’t even groom themselves. Dogs need to be walked, played with and picked up after (yes, that kind of picking up after). Absolutely not, I thought. No dogs, not for me. I am not a “dog person,” and I wasn’t going to become one. It was settled: Bruno doesn’t do dogs. One executive decision from my wife later, and there we were with a small, quivering, squealing black pug with a face only a mother could love....

Pence tweeted Saturday night that he would be at the Southern Baptist megachurch located in Dallas, Texas, to talk about and sign copies of his book So Help Me God which was released in November.
