The Washington Post on Saturday published an in-depth report on the growing effort to plan for and potentially counteract the potential investigations into Hunter Biden once Republicans take control of the U.S. House in January. Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has become a figure of intense right-wing scrutiny in recent years over his business dealing and the alleged, but unsubstantiated, claims that his father was involved in them while holding office....

Teased by Elon Musk several days ahead of their release on Friday, December 2, the “Twitter files” (shared by former Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi) showed that Twitter engaged with politicians over the content on its platform, as well as the social media network’s efforts to suppress the story about the president’s son. The messages pointed to uncertainty among the platform’s leadership about the provenance of the laptop story. The leadership opted early on to suppress the story in its recommendation algorithms and then blocked links to it—saying that this was under the company’s policy on hacked materials....

Marleau, 39, was traded to the Hurricanes on June 22 by the Maple Leafs, along with a conditional 2020 first-round pick and a 2020 seventh-round selection, for a 2020 sixth-round choice. Last season, Marleau played in 82 games and recorded 16 goals and 37 points for Toronto....

Babis Anagnostopoulos, 33, was arrested on Thursday after he attended a memorial service held for his late-wife, Caroline Crouch, that took place on the Greek island of Alonnisos, where she grew up after moving from the U.K. when she was 8 years old. Anagnostopoulos had initially told police that Crouch was killed after burglars broke into their home, in the Athens suburb of Glyka Nera on May 11, tied him up and threatened their infant daughter with a gun....

In a post shared on Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) forum under the username inigomontoyahwillcox, the mom said she has “a really nasty bout” of the virus that’s infected over 567 million and killed over 6.3 million globally, explaining: “I feel like death warmed up and can only just about get myself to the loo [toilet].” Before getting COVID-19, the wife said the couple were to be “doing something with our small business at a music festival....

The man’s wife, and mother of the 23-year-old woman in question, explained the situation in a post to Reddit on Tuesday. Under the username u/MrsStewart21368, she explained her husband wants her recently graduated daughter to work for him. However, the young woman has visited his company a few times and finds it very uncomfortable because of how men there treat women. She had made it clear she will not work for her stepfather or his company....

On Saturday evening, a mass shooting broke out in the predominantly Asian American Los Angeles suburb of Monterey Park when a gunman opened fire in a dance studio, killing 11 and critically wounding others. The venue had been hosting an event for the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday. Following a search for the alleged shooter, police on Sunday confirmed that the suspected gunman, Huu Can Tran, 72, had been located in a white van roughly 30 miles southwest of Monterey Park in Torrance....

Electrolytes help balance the water and pH (a measure of acidity and alkalinity) in your body, move nutrients into your cells, and clear wastes out. They have a role in keeping your heart, brain, muscles, and nerves working well. You also need phosphate to keep bones and teeth strong. When phosphate levels in the blood are less than 2.5 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), it can cause serious health problems for your lungs, heart, and muscles....

Cold exposure can come on slowly, affecting someone before he or she realizes there’s a problem. If you’re not looking for the signs and symptoms of hypothermia, it can be easy to miss until the problem has become significant. Suspicion of hypothermia is almost as important as recognizing the signs and symptoms. It’s just as important to recognize the conditions under which hypothermia can happen and pay close attention to the people exposed to those conditions, including yourself....

Charlotte Bobcats Best-case scenario: So many things have to go right for the phrase to apply to the Bobcats. Al Jefferson has to play defense, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has to lear to shoot jumpers and Kemba Walker needs to guard larger opponents at his 5-foot-9 stature (Let’s be honest). It’s highly unlikely that all three will combine to create a perfect storm of awesome in Charlotte. So, let’s give up on the players on the court and pull a 50-year-old out of retirement for one game....

Hyundai has used its customers’ push toward a more digitized shopping experience to enhance its bottom line. The second quarter of 2021 yielded the company’s best Q2 in history and its highest June sales numbers on record. Randy Parker, senior vice president of national sales for Hyundai Motor America told Newsweek that the success is due in large part to the fact that the company’s dealerships were charged with one not-so-simple task: “follow the customer wherever the customer wants to go” with their sale...

North Carolina’s hogs now outnumber its citizens and produce more fecal waste than all the people in California. Some industrial pork farms produce more sewage than America’s largest cities. But while human waste must be treated, hog waste, similarly fetid and virulent, is simply dumped into the environment. Stadium-size warehouses shoehorn 100,000 sows into claustrophobic cages that hold them in one position for a lifetime over metal-grate floors. Below, aluminum culverts collect and channel their putrefying waste into 10-acre, open-air pits three stories deep from which miasmal vapors choke surrounding communities and tens of millions of gallons of hog feces ooze into North Carolina’s rivers....

Peter Godwin’s account of this 2002 visit to his sister’s tomb comes midway through “When a Crocodile Eats the Sun,” his memoir about his family in southern Africa. It is one of many poignant moments in a book that serves as both a stark chronicle of the devastation wreaked by President Robert Mugabe and the pain of a son trying to care for his aging parents. Godwin, 49, shuttles between New York and Harare as his father’s health deteriorates and his mother’s hip collapses....

The former Barca player will play in his fourth World Cup finals in 2018, and in May picked up his 143rd international cap to draw level with Javier Zanetti as Argentina’s appearance record holder. Perhaps nobody knows Messi as well as his predecessor as Albiceleste captain after more than a decade playing together with Argentina and Barcelona, and he knows the nation’s chances depend on his talent. “One wishes for this coming World Cup that Leo can be the best version of himself, because the aspirations of the whole squad depend on this version," the midfielder explained to the Guardian....

Why Bengaluru must reverse poor form against East Bengal East Bengal, on top of the table, might not be in lofty spirits given their own short run of three winless games but that would not make things easy for the Southern Eagles even if the likes of Willis Plaza, Arnab Mondal and Rahul Bheke have not made the trip. “They have good players who have scored a lot of goals....

The matchup has proved to be the marquee clash in the Indian domestic circuit in the last three seasons and after cancellation of the first leg due to a clash of fixtures with Asian competitions, the second leg couldn’t have come at a better time - just before the international break. Bengaluru FC, who returned to winning days last weekend after going eight games winless in the I-League, only managed to draw against Chennai City midweek....

The Red and Golds conceded late in the game and the head coach felt that the goals let in were due to his defenders’ not being focussed. “The goals were the result of lack of concentration from our defenders,” he said. Jamil refused to discuss the Kolkata derby up next and said he’d rather think about it later. “This match is over. I will think about the derby tomorrow. Every match is of equal importance....

Sitting pretty on 27 points out of 12 games, the Red and Golds’ faithful might have been tempted to count down to the magic number that would secure them their first ever I-League trophy, but Trevor Morgan is not one to count his chickens before they hatch. “We’re always prepared. We had a long journey back from Shillong yesterday. The players who weren’t involved trained today and the others had a cool-down....
