He left the hard racing to kids at the front of the pack. Erik Jones became the youngest winner in series history, racing to his first win on NASCAR's national level, at 17 years and 4 months. He broke the mark set in September by Chase Elliott, who was five months older when he won in September in Bowmanville, Ontario. "It's everything I want, just to be a winner in NASCAR," Jones said....
After Brooklyn announced Tuesday that Irving will not practice or play games with the team until he is “eligible to be a full participant,” The Athletic’s Shams Charania released a report revealing the details behind Irving’s stance on the COVID-19 vaccine. The seven-time All-Star is not anti-vaccine or anti-science, multiple sources told Charania, but he is concerned for people “losing their jobs due to vaccine mandates.” MORE: Will Irving play this season?...
What Is Multiple Sclerosis? MS is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system attacks healthy cells by mistake. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, and damages the protective covering of nerve fibers known as the myelin sheath. This causes inflammation and issues with communication pathways between the body and the brain, leading to symptoms. Common MS symptoms include:...
Workers from the four companies are hoping to act in conjunction with one another, Smalls said. “The reason behind incorporating all these other entities is because we’re not going to stop mobilizing until we have our demands met,” Smalls said. “We all have one common goal right now and that’s to feel safe and protected at work.” Workers are demanding the mandatory shutdown of buildings with positive cases for a minimum of 14 days....
Prior to that, he toiled and tussled in the WWE developmental system as Derrick Bateman, a comical figure that didn’t fit the man that Michael Hutter really was. He was hungry. He was motivated. It didn’t take long before he landed in TNA where he became Ethan Carter III, the spoiler nephew of owner Dixie Carter. Since then, he’s been a brat and a narcissist. Both worked perfectly. EC3 has been a hit with the company, becoming one of its best talents and one of the best heels in wrestling....
The ethnic populations have been fighting the government ever since, for recognition, a share of the country’s natural resources and some degree of autonomy. Since the military seized control of Burma 50 years ago, those minorities have been trying, with mixed success, to at least hang onto their lands. The current junta has been battling them with disproportionate ferocity, killing thousands in the jungle, far from the public eye....
Ronaldo fires ‘ready for battle’ warning On Monday the club was seconds away from winning its first league game of the season at the seventh attempt, but Rizespor scored in stoppage time to secure a 1-1 draw. Eto’o went out to meet with many of the angered supporters after the match and didn’t just promise a finish in the top 10 despite the shocking start - he put 100,000 euros ($109,850) of his money where his mouth is....
That has certainly been the case for Bitcoin, which saw the then all-time high of approximately $19,783 in December 2017 evaporate to almost $3,000 less than two years later. The cryptocurrency has already seen another boom-bust cycle in this young decade of the 2020s. Crypto has established a tight relationship with volatility. Taking the long view has been the wise route for investors seeking growth. Recognizing and understanding innovative themes before the masses has often paid off....
Spurs have lost their two previous Group E games at the national stadium, but will qualify for Europe’s secondary competition if they avoid defeat there against CSKA Moscow on Wednesday. With White Hart Lane undergoing redevelopment until 2018, Spurs are set to play more games at Wembley next season and Pochettino wants to make some positive memories under the famous arch. “After being out of the Champions League, it’s [the Europa League] important for different reasons,” said Pochettino, who last month confirmed the club’s preference to play Europa League games at Wembley, despite being free to return to White Hart Lane....
The price cap—which comes amid a bevy of new sanctions from the EU—would be implemented throughout the winter and, in theory, would seek to further reduce Russia’s revenues from oil exports while allowing Europe to meet some of its existing energy demand. According to national economic data, the vast majority of Russia’s government is funded by revenues from oil and gas exports. And the European Union’s member nations, particular those on the eastern side of the continent, are among the nation’s biggest customers....
Levits spoke at the Yalta European Strategy summit—organized by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation—in Kyiv on Friday, telling attendees that Europe’s painful winter is “the price of our freedom.” Latvia, along with its fellow Baltic nations including Poland, has been at the forefront of the European response to Russia’s February invasion of Ukraine. The region’s historical trauma of Soviet occupation means its nations have traditionally been more Russo-skeptic than Western European allies....
The deal indicates that the incoming Biden administration will have to make a difficult choice: either reset transatlantic cooperation to its pre-2016 status, or stand up to Beijing. The Biden team has staked most of its strategic outlook on the hope of a transatlantic front to counterbalance China. Before inauguration day, it has to wake up to the obvious: one must take priority over the other. Only by realizing that Europe has objectives in China other than holding its regime accountable will America’s sincere commitment to that goal reach its maximum effect....
On January 7, 2022, the World Health Organization reported a record 9.5 million COVID-19 cases across the world over the past week. “In fact, the tsunami of cases is so huge and quick that it is overwhelming health systems around the world,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Europe is struggling with a large number of cases from the fast-spreading Omicron variant and it’s straining the health care systems. France reported the highest single-day record for confirmed cases in Europe with 332,252 new infections on Wednesday....
Man City cost Sheikh Mansour about $293 million, which might seem like a lot, but given that his family is worth an estimated $1 trillion and his portion of that is estimated at $17 billion, it was a little more than tip money. Let’s put it this way: Sheik Mansour owns a boat worth roughly twice what he paid for City. MORE: The European Super League, explained: What it all means...
Beginning on Friday at midnight, most foreign nationals will be barred from entering the U.S. if they’ve been in one of 26 European countries, known as the Schengen area, within 14 days of their arrival. The goal is to limit the number of people who may be infected from spreading the virus in the U.S., and President Donald Trump called it one of several “strong but necessary” actions to protect the “health and well-being of all Americans....
That idea is beginning to gain acceptance in Europe. While the United States wages its war on drugs, some Europeans are quietly negotiating an informal truce. Governments and courts are loosening up on drug prosecutions. Users and social workers are cooperating to develop a “safe drugs culture.” Not everyone agrees with this approach. Last month British Prime Minister Tony Blair told reporters he was “petrified” at the thought of his children getting involved with drugs....
Selangor last Saturday confirmed the signings of Indonesian duo Evan Dimas Darmono and Ilham Udin Armaiyn from Bhayangkara FC. According to Evan’s agent Muly Munial, the discussions for the 22-year old midfielder had went on for almost a month, before the signing was completed. “The negotiation process took around three or four weeks. Praise Allah, the contract is for one year. “They (Selangor) have kept track on Evan for some time....
If you make enough money to own a Ferrari, one would think you can also afford gas for said Ferrari. But alas, this doesn’t seem to be the case. Well, either Turner can’t afford gas for his car or he forgot to fill it up before hitting the freeway. Luckily, his former Ohio State teammate P.J. Hill bailed him out. All the money in the world can’t buy common sense....
For some reason unbeknownst to mankind, Turner thought he could dunk on James in the fourth quarter of Cleveland’s 103-95 victory in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference playoff series. MORE: Must-see playoff photos | Love contributes in Game 3 | Curry’s prayer saves Warriors LeBron wasn’t having it. Yeah, Turner probably should have passed it.
Not many have looked better when turning the ball over five times — including two that were returned for touchdowns, and two more on his team’s last two possessions, with a chance to win the game. None have ever looked better while producing 51 points in a losing effort — because there never had been a game in NFL history in which the losing team scored 50 or more....
