We have reason to be afraid: anti-Semitism is real and continues to rise in frequency and magnitude alike. Yet despite the insistence of Jewish institutions and high-profile centrist Jewish journalists that the threat facing American Jews is coming from “both sides,” I had no anxiety about a campus BDS activist or Muslim congresswoman walking into my synagogue and opening fire. The attack I feared—the attacks that have already devastated our community and others’— is coming from white nationalists who have been emboldened and embraced by right-wing media and the Republican Party....

Incoming Kentucky center Karl Towns Jr. does it regularly. His trainer calls the workout the “Weighted Envoy Heave,” and it’s just what it sounds like. Towns’ trainer loads weights in the back of his GMC Envoy SUV and makes Towns push it two blocks down the street, throws it in reverse and starts the process all over again — six times in a row with no water breaks. For a frame of reference, the average GMC Envoy weighs about 6,200 pounds....

The famous shimmering lights, also called auroras, were photographed in states such as North and South Dakota, Montana, and Washington. Space weather experts had predicted increased auroral activity earlier this week after solar flares and accompanying coronal mass ejections (CMEs)—vast clouds of plasma—were ejected from the sun towards our planet. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issued a G3 “strong” geomagnetic storm alert on Tuesday....

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) shared the video of the snow devil on its Twitter account on December 23. In the clip, an ITD employee could be seen driving along a highway near Lava Hot Springs as a snownado formed in the distance. ITD officials said the footage was filmed on a GoPro camera that was mounted above the dashboard. The post read: “On Wednesday one of our staff was driving US-30 over Fish Creek Summit while using a GoPro to capture stock footage....

Types of Independent Living Skills The first thing I learned is that the term “independent living skills” is not universally used — and when it’s used, it may mean different things to different people. There are multiple assessment scales and tests. Often, Independent Living Skills are broken down into other types of skills which overlap — such as: Life skills (usually basic day to day skills such as the ability to use the toilet, dress, eat, etc....

Blame it on the unimaginative Indian football reporting, often the final question asked in a telephonic interview is, ‘what is the dream that you keep chasing?’ or some headline-hunting stupid query like that.Balwant Singh was panting on the other end, but came up with the aforementioned sentence – ‘I want to play with Sunil Chhetri’. That was back in January 2014, when Singh was at the onset of a breakaway season, having scored four goals in Churchill Brothers’ Federation Cup win....

The Health Ministry reported 4,529 deaths in the past 24 hours, pushing India’s confirmed COVID-19 deaths to 283,248. There were also 267,334 new cases reported Wednesday. However, health experts believe these numbers are undercounted, especially in rural areas, due to weak data and the government’s late response. “The national story hid what was going on in rural India and it continues to be fairly invisible,” mathematician Murad Banaji told the Associated Press....

“We are bidding for it. It is not that this is confirmed, we will try and convince FIFA at the FIFA conference in Kolkata” said Patel.

After a lacklustre first edition where many key players were missing from participating ISL teams, the credibility of the competition was questioned from its very onset. At the meeting, the members of the League Committee acknowledged that the concept of the Super Cup needs some serious revision. “We discussed about the Super Cup and we have spoken at length about it. Some of the ISL teams were not serious about it....

State officials have also said anyone breaking home quarantine would be forcibly sent to an isolation facility, and that it is a punishable offence to refuse compulsory quarantine. This follows reports people are fleeing isolation facilities in the region over poor conditions in them. On March 15, Scroll.in ran an article saying people in India were fleeing isolation wards. One woman refused to go because the conditions were so unhygienic it “made her wretch,” her brother told the Times of India....

Nicknamed ‘The Professor’, the Portuguese is fondly remembered in India for his coaching stint with Indian Super League (ISL) side NorthEast United. The John Abraham owned team finished fifth last season, under his tutelage, and just missed out on a semi-final berth in the Indian subcontinent’s most watched football competition. Whilst Vingada was first choice for the franchise to continue at the helm of the first team, and was close to signing fresh terms with the Guwahati-based club, an impasse in tying up the deal led to him seeking greener pastures....

Mumbai City’s 2017 ISL Draft Details The 34-year-old, who clocked a little over 500 minutes with Perth Glory in the A-League following the 2016 edition of the ISL, will join Amrinder Singh and Sehnaj Singh among those retained by the Ranbir Kapoor co-owned outfit besides the players signed in the domestic player draft last weekend.

SETHU FC [Sabina Khatun 17’, Manisha 86’] 2-0 GOKULAM KERALA Despite Gokulam Kerala’s enterprising start, it was Sethu FC who took the lead as Bangladeshi striker Sabina Khatun scored the opener in the 17th minute. Fazila and Sanathopki led a concerted effort from Gokulam for an equaliser but they weren’t able to penetrate the rival defence. Meanwhile, Sabina almost scored another seven minutes past the half-hour mark but her shot was kept out by Rumpa, who was forced to make another save just before the break....

This wasn’t just any old workout, though. It looked more like a version of the cult-like exercise class CrossFit. The team ran to the workout carrying weighted plates, then they sprinted through the woods with tires tied to their midsections dragging behind them.

It takes a ton of confidence to carry off such a fashion statement, and Jackson-Davis wore it boldly. “I feel like I look great,” he told The Sporting News. He said getting the team jackets were the idea of assistant AD for basketball communications J.D. Campbell, and Jackson-Davis saw the candy stripe presented as a possibility. He could not resist the similarity to the Hoosiers familiar warm-up pants. “I looked at it and said: Yep, this is the one right here....

On Sunday, the 60-year-old took to Twitter to confirm he had “procured” at least 10,000 N95 masks, which will be given to Indiana’s Department of Health. The N95 masks are respiratory masks that are used by both doctors and nurses treating patients affected by COVID-19 and have been in short supply. Last week, approximately 1.2 million masks were brought to the U.S. from China on the New England Patriots team plane before being distributed to healthcare workers in Massachusetts and Patriots owner Robert Kraft purchased a further 300,000 masks to provide aid to Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York....

Kenny Lofton made his major league debut with the Astros in 1991, but did not last long in Houston, as in December of that year, he was traded to the Indians, along with Dave Rohde, for Willie Blair and Ed Taubensee. Imagining Lofton and his speed in the Astrodome is a what-if for another day, but upon arriving in Cleveland, the center fielder immediately became a star, leading the American League in stolen bases for five consecutive seasons....

Wahid dug his own grave. He never took the legislators’ outrage over his erratic leadership very seriously. In fact, he largely ignored the Parliament, arguing that in Indonesia’s presidential system it didn’t have the legal right to bring impeachment proceedings against him. When the 60-year-old president fought back, it was with threats to dissolve Parliament or impose a state of emergency. “He began acting like a tinhorn dictator,” says another Western diplomat in Jakarta....
