The secret of China’s controversy-ridden women’s conference was that nearly everyone had a terrific time anyway. That included Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose trip had met with tremendous opposition from conservatives in Congress. Her speech declaring that “women’s rights are human rights” was thumpingly well received at the United Nations conference in Beijing; so was her speech to the NGOs outside town–even though most delegates couldn’t get in. Madeleine Albright, the U....

There was a lot of talk about how backing Gill is unfair on Ishan Kishan as the latter scored a double hundred against Bangladesh last month. However, Gill has answered his critics in style with a double hundred of his own and has proved why he deserves to be India’s first-choice opener in ODIs. The cricketing fraternity on Twitter heaped praise on Shubman Gill for his incredible double hundred. Here are some of the reactions:...

In 1999, Russo informed Vince McMahon that he wanted to move with his family to live closer to his mother-in-law.

Speaking on SK Wrestling’s Off the SKript with Dr. Chris Featherstone, Russo recalled that Vince McMahon said a nanny could look after his children. The comment prompted Russo to set up a meeting with WCW within hours....

Although there isn’t an official release date for Watch Dogs yet, that doesn’t mean future players are any less interested in what the developers have planned for post-launch DLC packs. One of the game’s developers, Dominic Guay, spoke to Total Xbox about future plans for add-on content. Bear in mind that the interview was conducted before Watch Dogs’ initial delay. It’s possible that some of the stories that the team had planned to flesh out and explore in DLC may now be included in the game’s main campaign, but there’s no doubt that there will still be plenty of other stories to mine for add-on content....

The crowd at Arthur Ashe sees her bang her racket on the hard court, the microphone catches the expletive that escapes her mouth in that brief outburst of pent up emotion. But you, dear Indian viewer, what else do you see? What can you see, that even the front-seat audience at the Arthur Ashe Stadium can’t? It is the slow movement of the camera, as the players take their stance....

“Why does the president repeatedly attack doctors…working on the front lines, saying they’re inflating COVID numbers?” asked George Stephanopoulos, the host of ABC’s This Week, during an interview with Miller on Sunday morning. The host’s question followed months of similar comments from Trump’s critics across political and public health spheres. As the U.S. grapples with consequences of an ongoing pandemic, many have denounced the president’s attempts to contradict scientific reports about COVID-19, usually with unsubstantiated claims that undermine expert’s recommendations and encourage the public to doubt prevailing health advice....

Karman represented Mumbai City FC in the inaugural edition of the eISL, securing an impressive runners-up position in the tournament.

First, the Serb seemingly came out as an anti-vaxxer while discussing a potentially mandatory coronavirus vaccine. He was then accused of having broken lockdown rules as he practised on an outdoor court in Spain. And the most recent criticism targeted at Novak Djokovic was over an Instagram live he conducted with Chervin Jafarieh, whose bio says he can apply ’the scientific method to create alchemy'. The conversation with Jafarieh was the most damning of all, as it showed Djokovic talking about how emotions can ‘change the molecular structure of water’ and turn toxic fluids into healing substances....

I three-quarters expected this. He built the party; who’s better entitled to run? But I think it’s a mistake. He’s in a much better position to be the founder of the party. That would be the best role for him. How are we going to retire the baby boomers? How are we going to save America from the great gray tidal wave heading toward us? We’re talking about a country of 50 Floridas....

The lyrics of “We are the World” seem to ring true in early 2020 just like they did when the supergroup USA for Africa first recorded the song to raise money for a famine in Ethiopia. The song was remade in 2010—the 25th anniversary of the song—to benefit Haiti earthquake victims. Lionel Richie, who was one of the original song writers along with Michael Jackson, has spoken stated he was open to doing another version during the coronavirus times....

After months of tense negotiations and delay, the House passed President Joe Biden’s sweeping bipartisan infrastructure bill in a 228-206 vote largely along party lines late Friday.

We should have passed these bills in early October....

Despite the riots, Jackson wanted to keep her modest dream-Quality Building Maintenance Services-alive. Both she and her husband had always worked. She’d been a clerk in hospitals, but she couldn’t imagine going back to that after the freedom of owning a business. And so she started going to meetings-there were all kinds of meetings for people with small businesses in the weeks after the riot. “‘We’re gonna help you,’ they said,” Ava recalls....

The off-spinner has not played a part in three Tests so far and could make it into the Indian team for the fourth Test at the Oval. Ashwin had partook in a County Championship game for Surrey at the Oval ahead of the ongoing Test series. While he endured a bleak outing in the first innings, he returned strong in the second innings to claim six wickets. So far, India has deployed a strategy of playing four seamers, and Ravindra Jadeja’s recent batting prowess and lack of turn on pitches has left Ashwin with only a place in the pavilion....
