The Americans survived the late rally and are off to another good start in the Presidents Cup. Steve Stricker blasted out of a plugged lie in the bunker to 3 feet to save par as he and 20-year-old Jordan Spieth hung on for a 1-up win that gave the Americans a 3½-2½ lead. It was the fourth consecutive time in the Presidents Cup that the Americans led after the opening day....
As it is a federal holiday, many businesses are closed on Presidents Day. However, some retailers, including grocery stores like Whole Foods, Walmart and Target, are open on the day. Some stores may also be offering reduced services and have safety protocols amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, such as mask requirements and limitations on customer capacity. Here we look at 2021 Presidents Day store hours at some grocery chains. For all venues listed below, contact your local branch to confirm exact hours and any COVID-19 restrictions that may be in place before you visit....
An ankle sprain can be a painful injury, and it is one of the most common orthopedic causes of an emergency room visit. Ankle sprains occur when your ankle rolls over abnormally when running, jumping, and landing from a jump. As your ankle rolls over, the ligaments—those cartilaginous structures that attach one bone to another—that support your ankle are stressed, and possibly overstressed. Too much stress to those ankle ligaments and they may stretch and tear, leading to an ankle sprain....
Hollywood has been notoriously slow in telling the stories of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender characters, never mind those of others who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Netflix’s catalog reflects this, with the streamer’s movie collection featuring a lack of films featuring, for example, trans people. One of the few movies about a transgender character on the streamer, for example, is the oft-criticized The Danish Girl, the film from Cats director Tom Hooper, led by cisgender actor Eddie Redmayne....
The part of Joe in “show Boat” and the song “Ol’ Man River” were written for my father by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II. But when it opened in 1927, he didn’t particularly want to be in the show. If you read the lyrics, it says “Dedicated to Paul Robeson” and it starts, “Niggers all work on the Mississippi/Niggers all work while the white folks play/Pulling dem boats from dawn ’til sunset/Getting no rest while the white folks play....
They may be back. After a long dry spell when TV’s biggest political wag was that bow-tied bore Mark Russell singing ““Stagflation! Stagflation!’’ on PBS fund-raisers, subversive punditry is resurging. ABC announced recently that it was stealing Comedy Central’s signature show, ““Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher,’’ for the post-““Nightline’’ slot as of January ‘97. HBO has scored another critical coup with ““Dennis Miller Live,’’ a bully pulpit for the angry ““SNL’’ refugee to rant like Howard Beale in ““Network’’ on everything from teen pregnancy to the death of liberalism....
Hun Sen spoke about joining a call for former members of the Cambodia National Rescue Party earlier this month. Long Ry, a former opposition lawmaker, said Hun Sen was able to join the Zoom meeting because one of his team members shared the link or password with others, Radio Free Asia reported. Radio Free Asia, a U.S. government-funded news service, quoted Long Ry as saying he would be happy to invite Hun Sen to future meetings to discuss national issues....
The Duke of York wants to return to serve his country again, if he can resolve a stand-off with the D.O.J., a source close to his team told Newsweek. The F.B.I. want him to testify for their investigation into the deceased pedophile and a request has been lodged with the U.K. Home Office. The duke’s representatives believe he may be able to mount a comeback if he can resolve the dispute....
The Duke of York agreed a way out of the bombshell case (in which he was accused of rape and sexual assault) in February when he pledged to pay an undisclosed sum to Virginia Giuffre. That money has now been transferred and court filings confirm the end of what was set to be a damaging trial for the reputation of the British monarchy. Prince Andrew has consistently denied all the allegations against him....
The Duke of York will pay out rather than give sworn testimony on sexual abuse allegations made by Virginia Giuffre, a Jeffrey Epstein trafficking victim. Giuffre said she was 17 when she was trafficked by the New York financier and Ghislaine Maxwell to London in 2001, to have sex with Queen Elizabeth II’s second son. The bombshell court claim detailed how she was also forced into sexual encounters with the duke in New York and on Epstein’s private island, Little St James....
The former royal styles himself as “Prince Henry Charles Albert David Duke Of Sussex” in documents that show him having a 75 percent stake in Travalyst. Unlike brother Prince William, he does not include “Windsor,” which was designated the official surname of directly descended blood royals by King George V in 1917. However, in a move that may give hope to U.K. royal fans, he lists his country of residence as Britain, not Canada or America, in documents submitted on April 3....
Harry and wife Meghan Markle discussed their own emotional struggles in their interview with Oprah Winfrey on March 7. The Duchess of Sussex described how she “just didn’t want to be alive anymore” amid negative press coverage and was afraid to be left alone in January 2019. Now the prince has a job as chief impact officer at BetterUp, which offers mobile-based career and mental health mentoring for employees of companies....
The Duke of Sussex has been vocal about structural racism in recent comments aimed at creating equal outcomes for people of color. However, he caused controversy as a 20-year-old by dressing up in a Nazi uniform to go to a “Colonials and Natives” fancy dress party. Now historian Robert Lacey claims Harry believes he shared too much of the blame for the incident compared to his brother, who was there when he got the outfit....
The Duke of Sussex addressed the bullying allegations against Meghan in his book Spare, released on Tuesday, and acknowledged: “More than once a staff member slumped across their desk and wept.” Meghan was accused of bullying two PAs out of the royal household in an internal email sent by Jason Knauf, then Kensington Palace communications secretary. The email, originally sent in October 2018, was leaked in the U.K. press days before the Oprah Winfrey interview, in March 2021, in a move the couple’s spokesperson described at the time as a “smear....
Harry, the Duke of Sussex, was dragged into a scandal engulfing his father’s charity and has maintained his silence over plans to give his step mother the title Queen. The new issues come on the back of several years of tension and despite Charles, the Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, offering his son an olive branch in an article for Newsweek published in January. Queen Camilla Charles won a longstanding internal battle within the royal family with an announcement from Queen Elizabeth II on February 5....
Meghan was once tipped—whether rightly or wrongly—to be a potential candidate for U.S. president and as a couple they were discussed in the same breath as Michelle and Barack Obama. As Britain mourned Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, even serial critic Piers Morgan expressed sympathy for Prince Harry, stripped of the right to wear the military uniform that symbolized his two tours of Afghanistan. Harry and Meghan began December on the cusp of an unprecedented opportunity to speak directly to their audience through a six-hour Netflix documentary and the prince’s 410-page book Spare, released on January 10....
The prince stepped down as a working member of the royal family in 2020 and in doing so was stripped of his official roles and military appointments. This did not extend to his legal eligibility to act as a Counsellor of State or as regent should the monarch be absent from Britain or incapacitated due to illness. These entitlements are protected by law under The Regency Act of 1937 which states that the first five members of the blood royal family in the line of succession over the age of 21 (in addition to the monarch’s consort) are Counsellors of State and candidates to act as regent....
Norman Baker, crime prevention minister from 2013 to 2014, said there was “some truth” to Prince Harry’s comment during a Netflix trailer about a bias towards protecting his brother, Prince William. The Duke of Sussex said: “They were happy to lie to protect my brother but were never willing to tell the truth to protect us.” Baker told GB News: “I am pretty fed up with Harry and Meghan to be honest with you and I think most people are and they should just go away and live their lives....
Queen Elizabeth II’s husband died peacefully at Windsor Castle this morning but the royal family will say goodbye in private due to the impact of coronavirus, the College of Arms said today. The Duke of Edinburgh will not lie-in-state and his funeral will be close by, at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. The church is where Prince Philip saw his grandson Prince Harry marry Meghan Markle on May 19, 2018—after fighting back to health from a hip operation just weeks earlier....
With the concurrent debut of its interactive racquet selector app and Spring 2014 Racquet Collection, the financial uncertainty that existed almost two years ago is no longer present. The company recently released models of its Premier, Tour and Warrior Series in addition to a new line of LS Series racquets, with the World No. 1 Doubles Team of Bob and Mike Bryan currently playing with the Tour series and top-ranked American John Isner utilizing the Warrior....
