Ifans was raised in Wales, the son of teachers. After college he began a long stretch in the theater. “There wasn’t much of a movie industry in Britain when I started acting,” he says. “But since ‘Shallow Grave’ and ‘Trainspotting,’ my type of actor has been popular.” And what type of actor is that, exactly? “I’m sort of left field. You must never introduce me to your mother.” Ifans has five movies due this year, including the black comedy “Rancid Aluminum,” with “Shakespeare in Love’s” Joseph Fiennes....

On Saturday at Yankee Stadium, Wil Myers batted against Masahiro Tanaka with one out in the second inning.

What the pre- and postmortems denied Clinton was the recognition due him for his return engagement as the Comeback Kid. Great man or not, he had learned what Jack Kennedy had discovered in his history books and Ronald Reagan had intuited from the movies: the presidents who succeed are those who master the part. Jerry Ford never managed it. Neither did Jimmy Carter or George Bush. Clinton did, bringing to his presidency his already formidable gift for hands-on electoral politics....

In a study published in the journal Nature Scientific Reports, Saara Junttila and colleagues put 1,002 dogs through a series of intelligence tests to assess the performance of 13 different dog breeds. The series of ten tests, known as smartDOG, were developed by one of the study’s co-authors, Katriina Tiira, to examine exploratory behavior, impulsivity, social cognition, spatial problem-solving, logical reasoning and short-term memory. “We expected that breeds would differ from each other in most traits, and they did,” Tiira told Newsweek....

Nevertheless Ashley Cole will not get a chance to redeem himself if England face the prospect of another penalty shootout in the upcoming FIFA World Cup. But will England finally be able to cast their demons aside and win a penalty shootout? Only time will tell, but history is against the Three Lions and luck has never favoured them. England’s constant failure when it comes to penalty shootouts can be related to their struggle to perform under pressure....

Oct. 28. “If you f – up … I promise you it will cost you $200, 000 to get your daughter back. How does that suit you?” ..MR0- For weeks, Joy Silverman, a wealthy Manhattan divorcee and Republican fat cat, once nominated to be George Bush’s ambassador to Barbados, had been listening to the menacing calls hoarsely demanding payment for some supposedly compromising photos and tapes. With the caller’s voice electronically disguised, Silverman didn’t have an inkling who he was at first-nor is it likely anyone else would have guessed....

Anatomy People have both a right and a left supraorbital nerve, located by each upper eye bone. The supraorbital nerve extends from the frontal nerve, which also divides into the supratrochlear nerve. Each supraorbital nerve emerges from the notch you can feel along the rim of the frontal bone by your eyebrow. Usually, it is found 2.7 centimeters (cm) from the midline of the face. Just above the orbital rim, the trunk of this nerve divides into two branches, one known as the superficial and the other as the deep branch....

Despite its consumer-friendly appearance, the Switch Lite actually has a lot of issues that weren’t abundantly clear when it launched. The Joy-Con drift that players had been experiencing on their classic Switch controllers was still present on the Switch Lite, only the Lite isn’t able to detach any of its pieces. This means that once the sticks start to drift, they’re done for. It hasn’t been until recently, however, that the Switch Lite has started to hold software back as well....

Ahmad Yasir, protocol officer of the Taliban’s political office in Qatar, is among the senior officials who are of the opinion that outside powers were to blame for ISIS’ presence in Afghanistan, where an attack claimed by the jihadis against a Shiite Muslim mosque last week claimed the lives of dozens and injured hundreds more. Asked by Newsweek if the ISIS threat had grown since the withdrawal of U.S. forces at the end of August and if the Taliban specifically blamed the U....

Anyone else having deja vu? It feels like with the rise of the Omicron variant, we’ve fallen into a wormhole and are hurtling back to March, 2020. Back then, when so much was unknown about the coronavirus, a shift to remote made sense in many cases. But it’s now twenty-two months later. We have vaccines and therapeutics and—as importantly—a very clear understanding of the inferiority of virtual school. And there’s just no defense for it....

Supporters of democratic, open economies should not worry too much about the green eco-warriors who plan to turn the World Trade Organization’s conference in Seattle into the biggest political demonstrations seen since 1968. Rather, they should be concerned about the backlash against globalization that is being integrated into national politics and taking new and dangerous forms. The most obvious expression of this phenomenon is the rise of the nation, of religion and of ethnicity as causes that have to be protected against outside influence....

Once upon a time in Britain, food was simply something you ate. Industrialized early, Britain became a country of cities and factories well before the Continent, and Britons got used to eating from tins. In the ’40s and ’50s, 15 years of war rations locked in the tradition: food was consumed, but it wasn’t consuming. “I would never have dreamt of discussing a dish at the table with my parents,” says cookbook writer Nigel Slater....

The Portuguese player has been Manchester United’s go-to man with penalties ever since he joined the Red Devils in January of this year. Rashford, on the other hand, was equally efficient from the spot last season, scoring seven penalties. However, Martial’s record has not been so good – he only scored against Partizan Belgrade last season and had scored seven goals from nine penalties for Manchester United ahead of the game....
