The self-proclaimed Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic hosts an estimated 1,500 Russian troops acting as “peacekeepers” after an early 1990s war led to a ceasefire and no lasting political solution between Moldovia and its eastern Transnistria region. Often considered one of the “frozen conflicts” in which separatists sympathetic to the collapsing Soviet Union sought to resist joining newly independent nations, the dispute has come to the forefront of international attention once again as Russia launched a full-scale war last week against Ukraine on the pretext of backing allied insurgents....
When I got there, everyone was in pajamas and ready for bed, and it was only 7 p.m. We all watched a movie, but halfway through, the mother said she was going to put the smallest kids to bed, and then all the parents would go up to the big house for drinks, and then finally come back, check on the kids, and leave. She gave me the telephone number (just in case), information on how to use the TV guide, and free access to the fridge!...

“I hope that parents learn that advocating for their children is so important,” Piper Gartner Phillips told Newsweek. Phillips, a dressmaker in Pullman, Washington, said her 7-year-old son Hugo has developed an affinity for wearing dresses. Hugo is autistic and has shown signs of being gender-queer, according to Phillips. After he was recently bullied at school, she decided to cheer him up by making him a new dress—so the pair headed to a Jo-Ann Fabrics store....
In the video, Gilleland explained with text that her child told her that another parent “threatened him” for “accidentally” knocking the glasses off his son’s face. She said she believed her son’s story and that she was initially angry that a parent threatened her 7-year-old son. But Gilleland wrote that she spoke with her son’s bus driver and found out the truth. “I don’t think my heart has ever been as broken,” the on-screen text read....
When an ancient Chinese hex kicks in, they wake to discover how devastatingly unprepared they are to live each other’s life. Tess, in her daughter’s body, is hopeless at both guitar and algebra; Anna, horrified to find herself wearing her mom’s middle-aged face, is inept at comforting Tess’s neurotic patients. (When in doubt, Tess advises her, just say, “But how do you feel about that?”) More ambiguous complications arise when Jake (Chad Michael Murray) the motorcycle-riding heartthrob Anna swoons for, falls for Anna’s soul after all....
In the post, user Illustrious_Bit_178 explains that her name is Rynn, “not Katherine. But ever since my ILs [in-laws] have met me, they have gotten the idea that my actual name is Katherine and Rynn is just a nickname.” The Mother-In-Law Project reports that in a study of 807 women from 49 states across the U.S., 20 percent of daughters-in-law report that they are dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with their relationship with their mother-in-law....
However, nothing can kill the mood faster than serving dry meat to your guests. But this doesn’t have to be an option, even if you are the most novice griller, as one woman has taken to TikTok to show how you can use ice cubes to ensure your burgers are moist.

In this case–a gigantic, 188-picture retrospective entitled “Gerhard Richter: Forty Years of Painting” that just opened at the Museum of Modern Art and continues through May 21–the big idea behind his work lumbers through the galleries with you like the proverbial elephant trying not to be quite so noticeable. Richter, you see, paints in a variety of styles. He does large abstractions with the energy and prolificness of an enfant terrible on a mission to overthrow figurative art....
The Stade Louis II outfid made a stunning and rapid rise to the summit of Ligue 1 last season, dethroning French giants Paris Saint-Germain for their first league title in 17 years, while reaching the Champions League semi-finals with style and substance. Monaco 7/1 to win Ligue 1 But the nucleus of their title-winning line-up has been ripped apart after being raided by PSG, Manchester City and Chelsea for teenage sensation Mbappe, playmaker Silva, star full-back Mendy and tough-tackling midfielder Bakayoko....
It has been claimed in Italy that the Russian billionaire, who became majority shareholder of Monaco in 2011, is considering trying to buy Milan from Yonghong Li. However, the Ligue 1 champions say Rybolovlev is passionate about Monaco’s future and has no plans to sell his stake in the Stade Louis II club. “Following rumours about AS Monaco football club in the media these last days, AS Monaco affirms that there is no current negotiation on the sale of the club or purchase of AC Milan,” a statement released on Friday said....

We’re also going a bit contrarian in this contest. While Dalvin Cook has been absolutely incredible lately and is averaging nearly 28 FanDuel points per game, we don’t have him in our lineup. He is the highest-priced player on the slate ($17,000) and figures to be highly owned despite playing one of the league’s best run defenses. Instead, we’re going with passing weapons on both sides of the ball and fading the run game all together because of Cook’s high ownership and the Bears’ lack of a proven starter at RB with David Montgomery (concussion) out....
Before we break down our picks, here are the notable scoring settings for FanDuel single-game contests: The point total for the “MVP” is multiplied by 1.5, but he doesn’t cost any additional money like the “Captain” in DraftKings Showdown contests.

Our lineup consists of four Ravens and one Brown this week. Though the opener was so long ago, the Ravens proved in that contest that when they’re fully healthy, they have the personnel needed to stretch the Browns thin on both sides of the ball.
