I was described as a happy and bubbly kid, and despite being bullied a lot for my weight, any feelings of sadness would normally drift away a few minutes later. Then, as I was about to turn 14, my mom passed away due to a heart attack. The doctor said it was rare for someone her age to die from one, as she was young. I remember the moment I was told she passed away because I thought it was a huge, cruel joke and that everyone was lying....

That’s what passed for debate in the Bush war cabinet, at least as the White House is depicted by Woodward. Early press accounts about Woodward’s latest behind-the-scenes narrative suggested that Bush kept even his closest advisers in the dark about his decision to go to war because he was afraid of leaks. The real news, however, is not that Bush was secretive about his war planning, but rather that there was so little consideration of the consequences....

Liverpool ran out 5-2 winners at Anfield in the first leg, with Salah starring against his old club with a brace, though their concession of two late goals gives Roma a glimmer of hope ahead of the return fixture in Rome. As such, a 3-0 win for Roma will be enough for them to qualify for the final, and they can take encouragement from the fact they defeated Barcelona by the same scoreline after losing 4-1 in their first meeting in the quarter-final....

“Today, I am launching something that I hope will help to change the world, even if only in some small way,” Mata wrote in the Players Tribune. “And I hope that other footballers around the world will help me in this goal.” Get Manchester United odds at the EPL title In the piece for the publication, Mata details his journey through the game and spoke of how his grandfather’s passing last season made him evaluate what he wished his legacy to be....

I watched the documentary and I thought they muddied the waters with some of the people they featured. Most of the guys that got all the airtime were distractors whose suspect had already been disproven 40 years ago. I felt particularly annoyed because I am part of the team of more than 40 professional law enforcement officers, military intelligence folk, forensic experts and public servants, who worked on this case solidly for 10 years....

Jadeja was picked ahead of lead spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for the first Test in Nottingham. Although he did not have much to do with the ball, the southpaw scored a crucial half-century in India’s first innings.

Speaking to ANI, Jadeja explained that it is his self-belief that has led to the drastic improvement in him as a cricketer....

To whom it may concern: First, everyone understand I havehadMB per LA Times nothing to do with Nicole’s murder. I loved her, always have and always will. If we had a problem, it’s because I loved her so much. Recently we came to the understanding that for now we were not right for each other, at least for now. Despite our love, we were different and that’s why we mutually agreed to go our separate ways ....

For some reason, this particular birthday was hard for me to swallow. Maybe it was because my friends had accomplished all of the three m’s: Marriage, mortgage and maternity, while I had only accomplished one—mortgage. They all had husbands, children and even grandchildren. I didn’t even have a meaningful relationship. I was depressed the whole weekend scrutinizing my life and trying to figure out why I decided to take the road less traveled while they took the traditional route and had a lot more to show for it....

I began studying at the University of Arizona in 2016 and it was then that things began to change for me. I was a late bloomer, so my looks began to evolve during my freshman year of college. When I was 19 years old, Instagram was booming and there were many “college babe” accounts on social media. These were accounts that reposted pictures of good-looking girls who went to the University of Arizona....

Guardiola returned to a familiar lament from last season when his side were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Everton on Monday. Citizens 9/1 to fail to score today Despite having Kyle Walker sent off before half-time, City created ample opportunities but generally erred in the final pass or with sloppy finishing until Sterling – also culpable in the latter regard – smashed home a volley eight minutes from time....

Of course, there is no team that enjoys this downfall more than the Boston Red Sox. This is the first series the Red Sox have won against an American League East rival all season. If you ask their fans, there likely isn’t any team they would rather win a series against in the league. The Red Sox scored only three runs, with two coming from Rafael Devers’ home run. Yet those three runs were more than enough to close out the series against the Yankees with a win....

My parents had a really happy marriage, they were married for nearly 45 years until my father passed away five years ago, so I had a good model for relationships. But I never daydreamed about my wedding like some of my friends did. I was much more interested in building my dream stables, than looking for my ideal wedding dress. I’ve only had two boyfriends, and while my friends don’t bat an eyelid, acquaintances will say: “You’ve only ever kissed two men, why’s that?...

The Gunners signed Alexandre Lacazette for a club record £52 million from Lyon and he is expected to be Arsene Wenger’s first-choice striker next season, meaning Giroud faces a battle for a place in the team. Ozil urges Alexis to stay at Arsenal Giroud started just 11 Premier League games last season, but scored 12 goals in 29 league appearances for Arsenal. However, the arrival of his fellow Frenchman could see those starts further reduced, and it has been speculated he may leave the club....

Walker, Mendy & Ederson deals edge closer The 23-year-old’s move to the Etihad Stadium has been expected since the start of the week, though it is thought that third-party ownership issues had been holding up the deal.

During my career, I have mostly focused on HIV medicine in the field of treatment and prevention. So when COVID-19 hit, thanks to this previous work, I had the machinery ready to conduct clinical trials. From April, I led clinical trials on Remdesivir, a therapeutic drug that was granted emergency approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of COVID-19, and since August 26 I have been running trials of a vaccine for COVID-19 prevention at Yale New Haven Hospital....
