After you make an initial list of people you want to thank, walk away and come back to the list later. There might be people you forgot to include that you’ll remember at a later time. If you’re worried about leaving someone important out of your speech, ask a close friend or coworker to help with your list. They might think of someone you forgot to include. For example, if you’re receiving an award for your volunteer work, try searching “volunteer award acceptance speeches” in a search engine....

Viral culture can take various amounts of time depending on: What virus is being culturedWhat types of cells are being usedThe techniques used in the culture process However, regardless of the precise methodology, viral culture is slow.

Our first computers were born not out of greed or ego but in the revolutionary spirit of helping common people rise above the most powerful institutions. Apple culture began with products that had a huge technological lead over the competition. They were the first low-cost computers ever with built-in color, graphics, sound and programming languages....

It was that kind of night. In counterpoint to the 10, 9, 8… prefacing the pop of champagne corks and the rainbow bursts of fireworks, there was a parallel countdown: three, two, one… exhale. Every New Year’s Eve inspires a jumble of contradictory feelings–a yearning for an ever-receding past, apprehension about an unknown future, nostalgia, hope, memories and dreams. But the eve of this millennium outdid all other new year eves in uneasy contrasts....

Experts say that it’s too soon to speculate on exactly what sort of risk BA.2 poses in comparison to the more dominant Omicron type, BA.1. Last week, the sub-variant was classified as a variant under investigation by the U.K.’s Health Security Agency (HSA), while figures released from Denmark suggested BA.2 was responsible for nearly half of all the cases reported there. Speaking to Newsweek, Pam Vallely, professor of medical virology at the University of Manchester, said she hasn’t yet seen any evidence to suggest that BA....

European target shines for MLS Homegrowns At 38 years old, and seven months removed from groin surgery, Tim Howard stepped up with some key interventions in a 2-0 victory of Trinidad & Tobago. The Colorado Rapids goalkeeper may be closing in on 40 when the U.S. — should it qualify — travels to Russia for next summer’s World Cup, but he remains an assuring presence between the posts. “You can’t say too much about Timmy because there’s not much more to be said,” U....

Michael Porter Jr. is a sophomore at Father Tolton Catholic High School in Columbia, Mo., and he is already pulling out professional moves. Once again, Porter is a sophomore and he’s not new to this. In some circles he’s known as “Baby KD” because of a build and length similar to Kevin Durant. Outside shooting, power dunks, Porter can do it all. The year 2017 can’t come soon enough.

The massive fish, weighing more than 3,500 pounds, was the sixth white shark sampled during a four week-long mission in the Northwest Atlantic conducted by OCEARCH, which is a non-profit research organization focused on the feared ocean predators. Scientists named the shark “Nukumi”—pronounced noo-goo-mee—after a grandmother figure with cultural relevance to the Mi’kmaq, a First Nations people that is indigenous to what are now known as Canada’s Maritime Provinces, including Nova Scotia....

According to an in-depth report from ESPN, Robertson — a Bulldogs fan for nearly 40 years who has a tattoo of the school’s logo on his left hand — discovered Freeze’s one-minute call to the escort service while doing research for a book he intends to write. That information did not come from a person in Houston Nutt’s camp, as many had assumed. MORE: Freeze’s lack of accountability finally bit Ole Miss...

“Ha!” he mocks the other drivers as he whips around the corner. “They are afraid!” And his entrepreneurial savvy is as sharp as his U-turns: he’s currently got a fine desert-camo number parked across the street from the hotel where most reporters are staying. He says Fox News and the networks keep calling. CNN bought a couple for 10,500 Kuwaiti dinars apiece (about $35,000). But King Hummer is always ready to strike a deal....

Peter Szijjarto argued against the EU’s executive commission delaying billions in economic recovery funds earmarked for Hungary, calling it “blackmail” and “a purely political decision.” “We do not compromise on these issues because we are a sovereign country, a sovereign nation. And no one, not even the European Commission, should blackmail us regarding these policies,” Szijjarto said in an interview with AP. The EU said the law violates the fundamental rights of LGBT people....

And odd things tend to happen around Pence. Or, to Pence (who, we should point out, is a three-time All-Star batting .294 with 10 triples, 19 home runs and 13 stolen bases this year). Such was the case Thursday in San Francisco’s game against Arizona. Batting against Diamondbacks pitcher Randal Delgado, Pence tried to hit a pitch that way low and away, off the plate. So Pence threw his bat at the baseball....
