On Thursday, the Duke of Cambridge made the statement during a visit to a school in Stratford, London, after a journalist asked whether the Royal Family was a “racist family.” The exchange was in reference to his brother Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired on CBS last week. During the discussion, Harry and Meghan alleged an unnamed royal family member expressed concern over the potential colour of their son Archie’s skin during Markle’s pregnancy....

With cases across the country skyrocketing, leagues and teams, hoping to dodge coronavirus-related pauses that would further affect their bottom lines, have increasingly mandated that employees and fans get jabbed even as some resist. Major League Baseball, whose office on Sixth Avenue in New York fully reopened to employees July 6, has mandated unvaccinated employees remain working remotely for now while fully jabbed workers are expected to work in-person. The NFL and NBA will require all employees who work in their offices to show proof of vaccination in order to work at league headquarters, according to Sports Business Journal....

The House Foreign Affairs Committee is having difficulty obtaining evidence from Connecticut Republican Robert Hyde, according to a Monday report from NBC. Hyde claimed that he turned over “everything I had” to the committee in a February 12 interview with The Daily Beast, but the House committee disputed the claim. “[We were] dismayed to read yesterday that you have made statements to the media which greatly exaggerate the extent of your cooperation with this investigation,” wrote the committee to Hyde in an email obtained by NBC....

Social worker Kalpana Thakur told ANI that the latest statistics from Uttarkashi district showed the authorities were not doing enough....

Now the brand is back, riding the long, curly waves of cool-again ’70s hair. The Breck Girl was born in oil-painted 1936 advertisements, but her Brooke Shields, Cheryl Tiegs, Cybill Shepherd, Jaclyn Smith and Christie Brinkley incarnations in the ’60s and ’70s ushered in the best-selling shampoo’s heyday. Though the Breck Girl will be missing from the brand’s upcoming TV ad campaign, the resuscitated Breck itself is a replica of its disco form, with the gold label and billowy calligraphic “B....

“Fck Biden and fck you for voting for him,” says the flag, which waves outside of an unnamed man’s house. The dark blue flag with white lettering resembles flags flown in support of former President Donald Trump during the 2016 and 2020 elections. “It’s vile. It’s vulgar. It’s protected speech under the Constitution,” Cole told WREG. He said that several residents had written the city to complain about the flag’s profanity and its visibility to local children....

Sign Language Before Stokoe Before Stokoe began his work, sign language was not seen as a real language. Instead, it was seen as a collection of meaningless gestures or pantomime. This viewpoint was preventing sign language from gaining respect and from being used in the education of deaf children. (Ironically, the book Deaf Heritage points out that Stokoe himself did not sign well at the time). The lack of respect for sign language was really limiting its use at the time....

The U.S. Senate is still awaiting the view of the Senate parliamentarian as to whether they think the wage boost can be included in a reconciliation bill. There has been the suggestion the measure could be deemed to fall foul of the “Byrd Rule,” which stops measures determined to be out of the scope of the federal budget being passed through budget reconciliation—a measure Democrats are using to push on with COVID-19 relief that could bypass the need for Republican support....

Feds claim that Ken Ravenell, 60, assisted convicted drug kingpin Richard Byrd in a multistate marijuana distribution and money-laundering scheme from 2009-2014. During that period, Ravenell defended Byrd in his drug conspiracy trial. Byrd had been responsible for one of Baltimore’s “biggest drug crews in recent history,” according to DEA officials. Prosecutors allege that Ravenell aided Byrd and helped him conceal his crimes. The indictment states that Ravenell knowingly protected and assisted his co-conspirators by teaching them about law enforcement techniques in order to evade detection....

It said their behavior has been “destructive” to the House of Representatives and the GOP....

The intricate web of blood vessels and other tissues that form the physical filter of the kidney is quite delicate and functions appropriately only within a narrow range of parameters. The Importance of Blood Pressure in the Body When you pour a kettle of noodles into a kitchen strainer, gravity pulls both noodles and water downwards through the strainer. Inside the body, the force that causes blood to move through the kidney’s filter is the blood pressure....

Matthias Schmale, director of the Gaza arm of UNRWA, which provides essential health, education and other services, and Schmale’s deputy were recalled to UNRWA’s east Jerusalem headquarters for “consultations,” the Associated Press reported. Schmale was asked by Israel’s Channel 12 TV last month about Israeli claims that airstrikes against Gaza during the 11-day conflict with Hamas were “very precise.” UNRWA said late Thursday that it was “seriously concerned” about the threats, including a “very large protest” outside its Gaza headquarters on Monday....
