In a photo distributed to Heat media members, the Spoelstra family shared a shot of 10-year-old Erik Spoelstra meeting Ramsay. There's no telling how many other lives Ramsay touched across the league in his decades on the sidelines and on the air.
Soon after the British raised Henry VIII’s flagship, the Mary Rose, from the ocean bottom off the Isle of Wight in 1982, scientists found one whole group of human remains that had extra deposits on a small bone at the tip of their shoulders which had also become forked. The anomaly indicated that the men had been longbow archers, their bones deformed by habitually drawing back and holding the taut bowstring, and showed how heavily defended the king’s conveyance was....
If Camp David succeeds, it will likely mean a settlement of issues that, as a somber Bill Clinton said in announcing the summit, “go to the core of both sides’ identity.” This means Israel must hand over, once and for all, hard-won land that Jews have claimed since ancient times, giving the Palestinians a quasi-state in its midst. The Palestinians, for their part, must accept the bittersweet reality of permanent domination by Israel....
I was just one more Lambert Strether, the dutiful and humorless Yankee of Henry James’s “The Ambassadors,” coming to France to rescue a wayward young man from the corruptions of the Continent, only to end up having his own Hot Chocolate Moment. No other country has ever bewitched Americans quite like France. American painters in the late 19th and early 20th centuries loved the Paris of skylights and louche women....
Pee-wee Squeaks For a guy who became famous by never shutting up, Pee-wee Herman–a.k.a. Paul Reubens–sure took a long time to talk. For the first time since his 1991 indecent-exposure arrest in a Florida porn theater, Reubens is discussing the events that almost ended his career. He says he wasn’t really thinking about the impish character he played on TV and in the movies–he was on leave from “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” on that naughty night....
China bashing is in vogue. Many Americans now believe that China will be the enemy of the United States in the 21st century. And Chinese in the States are left torn between conflicting loyalties to their native and adopted lands. The vast majority of us are law-abiding and productive members of society, grateful for the freedom to pursue careers and opportunities we could never imagine back in China. True, many of us maintain close ties to China, but we are working to bridge the enormous cultural and political gaps between our two countries....
Coconut, a palm with multiple uses and known by the producing communities as the “tree of life”, has been supporting the livelihoods of approximately 20 million workers around the globe. Coconut is a staple nutritional resource for communities, especially around the tropical world, in the form of products such as milk, cream, oil and coconut juice. In world trade, it has a commercial history dating back to the 1880s, when there was a high industrial demand for coconut oil to produce soap and cooking oil....
In his Wall Street aerie, Larry stokes up with doughnuts and swings into action. But his prey will not roll over. The cable company’s chief, Jorgy (Gregory Peck), a silver-haired icon of rock-solid New England values, dispatches his champion, Kate (Penelope Ann Miller), a young lawyer who’s the daughter of his long-time mistress Bea (Piper Laurie). When Larry sees Kat he bristles like a hedgehog in heat: he wants the company, he wants Kate, he wants doughnuts....
With Photomath’s latest competition, dogs can “climb up the corporate ladder,” with their introduction into the field of comforting students. Photomath is a leading education app in the U.S. which helps students with math homework and class. The app lets students scan equations before showing them a step-by-step explanation to work it out on screen. Now, the app is looking for its very own therapy pup who is “a pro at calming anxious students,” to “help students leave the tears at the table when it comes to troubling math homework and stressful studies....
With an architectural history that dates back 1,000 years, Prague has one of the few perfectly preserved city centers in the world, and the plans to redraw its surrounding skyline have set off perhaps the most passionate clash over preservation in Eastern and Central Europe. As some of the newest members of the European Union, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and the Baltic states have all enjoyed booming economies, in which developers insist that old (sometimes historic) buildings need to make way for the demands of an increasingly rich populace and work force....
This, you think, is the very essence of France, until you read those little signs that tell you the tomatoes (which are really pretty tasteless) come from Moroccan hothouses, the grapes from South Africa, kiwis from Chile and the haricots verts from Kenya. You can’t even be sure where that boar bit the dust. The congenial quaintness of the street market, in fact, draws directly on globalization. What Emile Zola once called “the belly of Paris,” the rich, ripe, smelly center of the wholesale food business, long since moved out of downtown to a cargo hub near Orly airport....
Almost reaching the century mark is an impressive feat, and St. John’s did it both through the air and on the ground. But the more impressive stats come on the defensive side of the ball, as St. John’s completely shut down St. Scholastica. MORE: Wyoming punter whiffs on punt Let’s compare the two schools: St. Scholastica used four different passers, combining to complete 5-of-18 for 59 yards, no TDs and one interception....
Was this a freak accident caused by a rogue organism? Maybe not. Some scientists argue that last summer’s soaring temperatures are part of a warming trend that is encouraging a slew of heat-loving organisms to extend their habitats into the once chillier North. Recent tests in Germany showed that Vibrio vulnificus was present in more than nine out of 10 samples of Baltic Sea water. “Microorganisms aren’t clever,” says Tove Roenne, a doctor with Denmark’s National Board of Health....
The headline seemed odd to me because I know a lot about FedEx. As do many of the people who live near me, close to Memphis, Tennessee, home to the company’s worldwide headquarters and one of its big distribution hubs. But more about FedEx, Memphis and the real story later. Let’s get back to the Times, and its deceptive op-ed posing as a news story. Here are the opening paragraphs:...
The film, which opens this week, is set in London during World War II. Fiennes plays a moody novelist, Maurice Bendrix, caught in a triangle with a beautiful woman (Julianne Moore) who’s married to a boring civil servant (the outstanding Stephen Rea). When she breaks off their intensely hot affair, Bendrix grows even more obsessed with her. “He’s got a cruel streak,” said the actor. “But then you kind of warm to him, because–as Neil says–his hatred and anger is all because he’s desperately in love....
The Federal Reserve Board normally manages the nation’s credit supply with all the gravity of the Church of England. Once every six weeks, 12 governors and regional bank presidents meet secretly between the gold damask-covered walls of the Fed’s Washington boardroom to set the supply and price of bank credit. This Fed Open Market Committee issues no announcements. Instead, financial smoke signals are sent to the government bond market via manipulations of the so-called Federal Funds rate–the price of money that banks borrow overnight from one another....
Use a t-shirt to gently dry your hair as an alternative. [5] X Expert Source Christine GeorgeMaster Hair Stylist & Colorist Expert Interview. 10 January 2020. Blow drying with cold air will take longer than drying with hot air, so be aware of that if you are in a hurry or are timing your morning. If you don’t want to continually brush, you can brush your hair in spurts, with 5-minute breaks between each spurt to let it air dry....
If you have a neck injury, speak to your doctor about whether or not this pose is appropriate. If your neck is simply sore, just be sure to keep your neck in line with your torso instead of tucking your chin toward your chest. Also, if you have difficulty rounding your upper back, have a friend place a hand in the middle of your shoulder blades while you push your vertebrae against it....
