Expectations For Ronaldo Look Bleak As Transfer Speculation Heightens.

Last year, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo made a sensational return to Manchester United after spending five seasons with Real Madrid. But it appears that the 37-year-old wants to play in the Champions League again, which means he may have to leave his current club. Manchester United says it has no plans to sell the player, but peace talks between the two camps have reportedly failed this week after Ronaldo's heart was set on playing at the very highest level while he still can. However, despite being one of the greatest players to ever play the game, it seems Ronaldo's options are limited. According to widespread reports in European media outlets this week, Atlético Madrid had been a potential destination for him but not everyone at the Spanish club was happy with the possibility of signing ...

The Department Of Defense Killed Al Qaeda Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri Using A Drone Strike In Afghanistan.

US President Joe Biden said Monday that the United States had killed al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone strike. "I authorized a precision strike that would remove him from the battlefield, once and for all," Biden said. Zawahiri, who just turned 71 years old, had remained a visible international symbol of the group, 11 years after the US killed Osama bin Laden. At one point, he acted as bin Laden's personal physician. Osama bin Laden's successor Ayman al-Zawahiri had been sheltering in downtown Kabul to reunite with his family, US vice president Joe Biden said on Monday. He was killed in what a senior administration official described as "a precise tailored airstrike" using two Hellfire missiles. The drone strike was conducted at 9:48 p.m. ET on Saturday and was authorized by ...

A New Study Has Found That Taking Vitamin D Won’t Protect Your Bones, Despite Its Popularity.

Taking a higher dose of vitamin D to protect your bones is not necessary if you are a healthy middle-aged or older adult with no existing bone disease or vitamin D deficiency, according to researchers at the National Institutes of Health. The study found that taking 2,000 IU (international units) a day of supplemental vitamin D3 without calcium over the course of more than five years did not reduce hip, wrist or pelvic fractures when compared with taking a daily placebo. A fake treatment is a farce pill given to patients so they will accept they are seeking the genuine treatment. "This is the biggest, longest, randomized controlled preliminary on vitamin D supplementation in the US - - 25,871 people were enlisted from each of the 50 states, including 20% Black members," said concentr...

Julia Fox Takes The Trend To Unusual Lows With Look Of The Week.

Julia Fox rose to fame in 2021 after a brief but indelible relationship with Kanye West, and has since become an almost constant source of internet chatter. She has achieved this with her sartorial unpredictability and DIY-ing a bandeau top and matching bottoms out of a single pair of jeans using just a pair of scissors. Her now quintessential finger-painted black eyeliner look is fast becoming the enfant terrible of celebrity fashion. The ensemble, designed by Liza Kearne of Central Saint Martins, is the latest in a new genre of extremist fashion. Recent fashion weeks have touted super short hem-lines (a la Miu Miu's era-defining micro-mini skirt), risque prints (see: the revival of the trompe l'oeil), and cut-out silhouettes. Last Friday, actress and model Meghan Fox was photographed ...

She Decided To Remove Ableist Slander From The Word For “Hot” After Receiving Backlash From Disability Supporters.

After facing online backlash and criticism from disability campaigners, Beyoncé announced that she will remove an ableist slur from her new album, "Renaissance." The 40-year-old singer received rave reviews when she debuted her dance-inspired seventh studio album on Friday, but she came under fire over the weekend when fans noticed the inclusion of a derogatory term in the song "Heated." On the track, co-written by Drake, Beyoncé sings the line: "Spazzin' on that ass, spazz on that ass." The word "spaz" was originally an offensive slur referring to people with cerebral palsy, but has since been reclaimed and used by some members of the disabled community. However, the word is still considered demeaning by many others, including disability advocate Hannah Diviney. "So @Beyonce used the w...

Alibaba’s Stock Price Dipped Significantly As A Result Of The Threat Of Its US Delisting.

Alibaba shares fell Monday after a U.S. regulatory agency added the stock to a growing list of Chinese companies that might be kicked off Wall Street if U.S. auditors cannot inspect their financial statements. Alibaba (BABA) slid as much as 6% in Hong Kong but then pared losses to 3.8% in the afternoon. Friday's drop came after the Securities and Exchange Commission put the company on its watchlist. Investors have been worried about the Chinese tech giant Alibaba for years. In late 2020, however, the company was caught up in a sweeping crackdown on China's booming technology sector. The stock has fallen nearly 70% from its all-time high and investors have wiped out billions of dollars from Alibaba's market cap. The crackdown, coupled with a weakening economy, has slowed the revenue grow...

Creepy Passenger Aircraft Sits Lifeless On The Floor Of The Red Sea.

An old jet plane, mounted on wings and tail fin, would be a sight to behold in the air or on the ground. This is especially true when it is underwater. The abandoned jet Lockheed Martin L1011 Tristar, sunk to create an artificial reef to encourage marine life, has been photographed by American underwater photographer Brett Hoelzer in a series of images that capture the eerie spectacle created by this aquatic airliner. As indicated by Hoelzer, the fly has now turned into a safe house for wreck travelers and submerged picture takers. First enrolled during the 1980s and seeing help for a few carriers including, as per Planespotters.net, Royal Jordanian, Portugal's TAP Air and Sweden's Novair previously, after a last spell with Luzair, one more Portuguese transporter, it was deserted in ...

Following Final Sixteen Grand Prix Results, Max Verstappen Ended As Victor Over Charles Leclerc, Whose Mistake Was Deemed Unacceptable.

Max Verstappen maximized his success in the French Grand Prix, beating a despondent SportMotorsport1.com Charles Leclerc, who had again been affected by a high-speed crash, on Sunday. An official Ferrari interview showed Leclerc's frustrated outburst when he denounced team radio on lap 18. This is the third time this season that 24-year-old Charles Leclerc has failed to finish a race after leading.

Joe Biden Is Preparing To Address The Situation In The Country Next Week.

Every week is a difficult week for this White House right now. But as the President Joe Biden of the United States recovers from his recent infection Covid-19, he faces a new moment of truth this week about an economy that is stuck in an identity crisis and buffeted by unpredictable outside forces. At any other time, a President presiding over a 3.6% unemployment rate—a shining number that normally would suggest a healthy economy—would expect his approval rating to be around 50% and be cruising to a second term. But since US inflation rate has raced to 40-year highs on the back of raging demand and Covid-compromised supply chains, exacerbated by a spike in oil prices, Biden's job performance rating has slumped into the 30s (and is even lower among independent voters) and Democrats are brac...
