It was another precedent in a day of precedents. Never had the august precincts of Westminster Abbey heard such words as these: ““I don’t think [Diana] ever understood why . . . there appeared to be a permanent quest [in the news media] to bring her down. It is baffling. My own, and only, explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum....
Of course, there are differences between the “Jeopardy!” show and the Computer Bowl: people who play “Jeopardy!” want to be millionaires. Many of the players in the Computer Bowl already are. The contest pits some of the best minds in computing against each other on an unabashedly trivial playing field. This isn’t just some wonk-Orama, though. It’s all for a worthy techno-cause: the bowls have raised more than $2 million for The Computer Museum in Boston....
The story is simple, but the message is anything but clear: a group of young performers, rejected by the state theater, band together in the subway to put on a show condemning the evil of money - and then happily sell out. “Metro” condemns the new capitalist spirit that the production celebrates with Trumpian gusto, and offers three contradictory endings–sad, wistful and celebratory - to cover all its ideological bets....
The 1926 storm so devastated the region that eight years later it was still a prominent local topic of both conversation and, oddly enough, popular music. “The Storm That Struck Miami” is a raggedy waltz recorded by “Fiddlin’” John Carson and his daughter Rosa (Moonshine Kate) Lee in 1934, teeming with a mournfulness that the city’s pummeled residents surely felt the morning after. (“The water fell in torrents for nine long hours or more,” it goes....
No question of it. And I think it’s the economy. I think there’s a fair amount of evidence that there’s frustration with me. But I’m going to turn that around. They’re likely to learn about our accomplishments. And I think they’re likely to learn about what I want to do in the next four years to build on these accomplishments; the emphasis being on education, the emphasis being on doing better to make these neighborhoods safer, winning the anticrime battle, pointing out the progress we’ve made, incidentally, on drugs....
Instead, Soviet communism simply collapsed. With the rise to power of Mikhail Gorbachev in 1985, the regime launched a painful process of retrenchment and reform. That process is still underway, its outcome greatly in doubt. But the larger East-West confrontation is history, and parties on both sides are scrambling to take credit. Did the Reagan-Bush policy of “peace through strength”-later modulated to what the White House would call “tough love”-win the cold war?...
There is death in “Rent” – death from AIDS, the modern plague that has supplanted the tuberculosis that killed Puccini’s Mimi. But by “resurrecting” Mimi, Larson emphasizes the irrepressible surge of life. The first impact of “Rent” is the astonishing humane violence of its vital spirit, embodied by the youthful multicultural cast who perform with an ecstasy of commitment that is irresistible. In a way they are playing themselves: Puccini’s 19th-century Left Bank bohemians have become late-20th-century struggling artists in New York’s Alphabet City in the East Village....
Despite her narrow win, Kumaratunga still has support from other parties. Douglas Devananda, leader of Eelam People’s Democratic Party, told NEWSWEEK: “We have full faith in Kumaratunga.” But violence on polling day could be a sign of unrest to come. Liberation Tigers of Tamil fired mortars and rockets in the north, limiting voter turnout in the area to 20 percent. Kumaratunga might just find that getting her brother’s approval–and that of the opposition–will be the least of her future troubles....
Although you’ve moved from politics to pursuing profit, one thing hasn’t changed: we media types still feel compelled to offer you unsolicited advice. Except now it comes from business writers rather than political writers. I’m a fan–I like most of what you did during your mayoralty. And who can disagree with the principles you lay out in your book “Leadership”? I’m especially fond of “Underpromise and Overdeliver.” Alas, you seem to have ignored your own advice last week when you talked about what you’d do as chairman of WorldCom, the bankrupt telecom giant....
Every member associated with the Elan Béarnais senior team — 11 players and four coaches — have tested positive for COVID-19, according to Sportando. A COVID cluster was identified within the club on Sept. 28, and all contract trace tests were done on Oct. 2 before the return of the full slate of positive tests. Sportando goes on to report that there is concern with Elan Béarnais of positive tests within their youth teams, as well....
WATCH: Ronaldo’s amazing toast trickery The 23-year-old has scored 17 goals in 21 matches for club and country this season, prompting a reported £65 million bid from Arsenal, according to the club’s sporting director Gianluca Petrachi. Sources close to the Gunners insist that no formal offer has been made for Belotti, and while his agent refused to comment on the reports linking his client with a move to north London, he did admit that it would take a mammoth bid for the Italian striker to leave Serie A....
Avoid making a big deal of this conversation beforehand, or your friend (or their partner) may be suspicious of your motives. Just say something like, “Hey, I miss you. Can we get together sometime soon for a chat?” For instance, say, “I’ve noticed that Joe puts you down whenever you talk about looking for a better job. That doesn’t seem very healthy or supportive. ” Don’t hesitate to continue expressing your concern in future meetings if the problem continues....

Good sources of fiber are green leafy vegetables, whole grains, beans, lentils, and apples. Leave the skin on fruits and vegetables for extra fiber. Check labels to see how much fiber your food contains per serving and plan out your meals this way. If some food doesn’t come with a label, like fresh fruit, check online for its average fiber amount. If you have a fiber deficiency or aren’t able to get enough from your normal diet, take a fiber supplement....
Pineapple, banana, orange, and mango-based smoothies are best to mix with spirulina, but opt for any sweet, ripe fruit that calls to you. Spirulina powder also works well in spinach superfood smoothies, as it blends well with the savory ingredients without becoming overpowering. Mango juice, orange juice, or pineapple juice are perfect options to mix with spirulina powder. Don’t add the powder to your juicer, as it won’t effectively blend it with your drink....
If it’s something that you really need to discuss, go ahead and do so. But if you’re just using this an excuse to have one more talk with him, bite your tongue and let it go. “Hey, do you have a second? I just need to ask you something real quick. ” “Hi there. Do you mind if I ask you something if you’re not busy?” “Sorry to interrupt, but could I steal you away for a few seconds?...
