Oslin had brought her daughters and Honey on a trip to Houston earlier in the week. As they were checking into their room at a Houston area La Quinta Inn, the mother went upstairs with the two girls to get them settled....

The original poster (OP), u/TheLightningCount1, shared his story to the popular Reddit forum r/MaliciousCompliance, where posters share tales of following the letter—but not the spirit—of rules. He earned over 40,600 upvotes and 1,900 comments in seven hours for his post, “You demanded my entire team be at the office for the 4th of July. Fine, enjoy paying for the office party.” He writes that the tale started three weeks before July 4, appropriately enough on June 13, when a vice president of the company, identified as “Bad VP,” told him the IT department would need to come in on the holiday....

Can was on target in his most recent outing for the Reds, as Jurgen Klopp’s side swept past Maribor 3-0 in the Champions League.

Klopp’s Reds 9/5 for derby victory Jose Mourinho’s men, meanwhile, have yet to lose in the top-flight this season and are level on points at the top of the table with Manchester City. Can, subsequently, has called for the Reds to be tough in the tackle as they aim to put a dent in United’s title bid....

This war, devised by the George W. Bush administration, is not limited to a definable enemy or a particular battlefield. It is global in nature, amorphous in focus and guides a broad range of U.S. security efforts. Although the Obama administration abandoned the terminology, the effort continued—first as a war against Al-Qaeda and associated forces and then as a response to the threat of terrorism that had become so normalized that it no longer carried its own name....

The WatchList puts 59 continental and 39 Hawaiian birds on the “red list” of greatest concern, and 119 in the “yellow” category of populations that are seriously declining or already rare. As has been the case for decades, habitat loss, predation and invasive species are the chief culprits behind the decline. But now there is a new entrant on the list of threats: global warming. Among the most imperiled species that regularly breed in the continental United States are the gunnison sage-grouse, a chickenlike resident of southwest Colorado and adjacent parts of Utah....

That claim, of course, is the boogeyman the Left has been using for more than a decade to prevent reforming our broken health care system. Ending the ACA could provide the impetus that Congress and all 50 states need to address our system’s major problems and put patients in charge of their own care. The truth is the vast majority of Americans would be unaffected by invalidating the law because they are not part of the Medicaid expansion group or enrolled in an individual plan on the ACA exchanges....

After World War II, however, architecture in New York seemed to lose its edge. Yes, there were a few fantastic projects, such as Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum and the Seagram Building by Mies van der Rohe. But as the 20th century drew to a close, the creative capital of America had become host to the avant-garde in every art form except architecture. While cities like London, Berlin and Tokyo—as well as Seattle, Los Angeles and Dallas—were constructing astonishing projects by world-class architects, New York was stuck in the past....

Sure, it looks pretty good being Jonny Bairstow at the moment. Everything England’s number five touches turns to gold if he hasn’t already clattered it through the covers in the blink of an eye. But Bairstow has reached the form of his life in his 86th Test after a decade at the highest level. It has not all been sunshine and roses up until this point. Far from it....

Perhaps you remember gathering with friends and family––semi-large groups–– playing board games and wonder how that will work during the pandemic when many of us only socialize with our nearest and dearest. Although board games are still popular with groups, there are others that you can play with just one or a few other people. That means they’re perfect for the times when weather or the pandemic prompt us to hunker down....

California law enforcement officials announced Tuesday that they had found the family members— John Gerrish, Ellen Chung, and their one-year-old daughter, Miju— dead “near the Devil’s Gulch area in the Southfork of the Merced River drainage.” In a statement posted to Facebook, the Mariposa County Sherriff’s Office said the family had been reported missing Monday night at 11 p.m. The sheriff’s office said it had yet to determine how the family members died....

“As we were walking up the stage I said, ‘That’s why you wait to take the right job,’” Sankey told Sporting News. “He had been identified as a candidate for a number of opportunities, but he was patient. It went back to a place where he knew and understood the culture and built the foundation for what is present at Georgia.” Smart was patient, even after Georgia lost 26-23 to Alabama and mentor Nick Saban in the CFP championship game a month later....

Epivir belongs to a class of medications known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It works by blocking an enzyme that HIV and the hepatitis B virus (HBV) use to make copies of themselves. Without the means to replicate, the viral population is reduced to levels where it can do the body less harm. Epivir is available as a tablet or oral solution. When used for the treatment of hepatitis B, the drug is given at a lower dose formulation called Epivir-HBV....

In a statement, Swalwell said he filed the civil claim against them for “inciting an attack against the Capitol that terrorized lawmakers and prevented us from doing our jobs of certifying the votes of the American people.” His statement said that the events of January 6 came as a “direct and foreseeable consequence of the Defendants’ false and incendiary allegations of fraud and theft.” “The Defendants assembled, inflamed and incited the mob, and as such are wholly responsible for the injury and destruction that followed....
