After a handful of scary falls and crashes into a trashcan at the base of the ramp, a child comes along and greets the skateboarder, and the two share a brief interaction before the skater attempts the trick again....

Here’s the deal. Friday is the 40th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination, and McCain is scheduled to honor him with an appearance in Memphis. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has put out a press release saying she too is trekking to Memphis “in remembrance” of King’s death–and that there are “additional details to be announced.” Speculation has swirled about whether they’ll bump into each other; according to the Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder, “both campaigns’ roadshows are slated to arrive at the airport at about the same time… and spent the night at hotels about six blocks apart....

The drug works by masking specific receptors in the airways to stop the virus from entering cells. The team in Scotland found sugar-binding proteins known as Carbohydrate Binding Modules (mCBMs), including one which they have dubbed Neumifil, prevented cells in a lab from being infected with SARS-CoV-2—the virus which causes COVID-19. There are currently no specific drugs or vaccines for COVID-19, and the team are among scientists racing to find ways to tackle the disease....

The study, published in the journal Circulation, evaluated more than 1 million cases of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) over the course of five years.

Most of the time, humans and Demodex mites coexist with no problem. But on occasion, the mites can multiply exponentially, resulting in an infestation that can manifest with red, irritated eyes and itchy, crusty eyelids, known as demodicosis. When a mite infestation is diagnosed, it can be treated with over-the-counter or prescription medications in combination with good hygiene. Symptoms of Eyelash Mites When demodicosis occurs, it can lead to blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids), which in turn leads to keratitis (inflammation of the cornea)....

That in itself is worth the celebration and the fine Elliott will have to pay this week....

Leclerc had been the dominant force at Circuit Paul Ricard, qualifying first and keeping Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton at bay from the start on Sunday. Yet the Monegasque driver’s mistake on lap 18 saw him lose the back end and crash into the tyre wall, allowing Verstappen to assume a lead that was never under threat from the chasing pack. A late error following a virtual safety car from Sergio Perez allowed George Russell to sneak third place behind Hamilton, making it a weekend to celebrate for Mercedes....

Meta was found to be in violation of Washington’s political disclosure law 822 separate times between 2019 and 2021, according to court documents.
