Confused critics and left-leaning Americans are questioning the underlying “conservative” principles of the Heritage Foundation after the powerful nonprofit announced it’s hosting an event entitled “The Crown Under Fire: Why the Left’s Campaign to Cancel the Monarchy and Undermine a Cornerstone of Western Democracy Will Fail.” Political pundits noted on Saturday that opposition to the British monarchy is “about as foundationally American as you can get,” but a recent interview of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry by Oprah Winfrey revealed an unabashedly pro-monarchy embrace of the Crown by many of today’s U....

It is a question Mexico fans have asked for most of 2013, but it's raising its head with increasing vigor at the start of 2014, largely due to that small matter of June’s World Cup. On Tuesday, the former Chivas player had to wait until the 87th minute to come on in the Red Devils’ Capital One Cup semifinal first leg at Sunderland, when the game seemed set up for the Mexican goal-poacher....

Delhi’s Vani managed a singles birdie on the 17th against two bogies on the eighth and 16th holes which helped her to stay ahead of third placed Gursimar Badwal. Kapurthala’s Gursimar had an indifferent front nine where she carded three bogies on the third, fourth and seventh holes. However, she carded just one more bogey on the 10th to pull things back. She currently sits on 151. Kolkata’s Neha Tripathi had a difficult day....

After eight sequels of dubious quality, David Bruckner takes up the Hellraiser torch for the reboot. Bruckner’s work includes some of the best horror anthology pieces of all time and the stellar supernatural horror film The Night House. Frequent collaborators Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski penned the script with a little help from David S. Goyer.

The Glamour Boys are winless in their opening three games of the campaign, and Ekstein understands how their fans feel right now. The 26-year-old said all the players are working hard to protect Steve Komphela, who has been under immense pressure to win trophies at Amakhosi over the last three seasons. Ekstein admitted that Chiefs don’t deserve to be struggling, but he has vowed to keep contributing to the club’s success for as long as he’s given the opportunity to play for the team....

Hendrick’s stable of drivers since he opened shop in 1984 reads like a Who’s Who of Racing. Some of the names are Benny Parsons, Darrell Waltrip, Ricky Rudd, Al Unser Jr., Terry Labonte, Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson, and Dale Earnhardt. The bottom line is, he knows talent and gives them every opportunity to find success. In his career, Hendrick has won the so-called Super Bowl of Racing eight times with five drivers....

Wales international Hennessey denied making the gesture in a photograph on Instagram posted by his German team-mate Max Meyer in January. The FA said a breach of disciplinary rules had been “found not proven” by an independent regulatory commission. In a statement on the Palace website, Hennessey said: “I’m delighted that the FA have found me not guilty of this charge. This was a genuinely innocent moment, which appeared to be something completely different when captured on camera....

Chronic HBV can lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver failure, or liver cancer. Taking care of your overall health and liver health is important to living well with the disease. HDV is a secondary infection to HBV that can have the same effects on the liver. Whether you have been living with hepatitis B and have now received an HDV diagnosis or you are newly diagnosed with hepatitis, it is normal to have questions....

Some doctors think so. Last week the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Committee on Gynecologic Practice issued a statement to its members warning about the dangers of trying to create “designer vaginas” through procedures that purport to trim and slim the vaginal lips, tighten the vagina or add extra bounce to the G-spot with injectable materials like collagen. Over the past few years these procedures have been marketed in magazines and over the Internet largely as boosts to sexual satisfaction, turning labiaplasty (the technical name for surgery that snips the vaginal lips, or labia) into one of the fastest-growing procedures....

The 37-10 vote—which was conducted behind closed doors—comes after an underwhelming midterm election cycle for Republican Senate candidates that opened up McConnell to a challenge from Florida Senator Rick Scott. The head of the National Republican Senate Committee is a longtime rival of McConnell’s and has sought to make inroads into GOP leadership for years. McConnell has also drawn the ire of former President Donald Trump, who has attempted to divert blame for this fall’s elections toward the Senate minority leader after a summer in which McConnell lamented the quality of candidates in key races around the country....

This is incredibly useful if you can’t get the volume or brightness quite right using the standard keys. Here’s how to do it. Hold Option and Shift to Make Small Adjustments Whenever you press the function keys for brightness (F1 and F2) or volume (F11 and F12) on your Mac, a brightness and volume indicator appears. This indicator shows 16 bars representing the different levels. But if you want to fine-tune your Mac’s volume or brightness between these levels, just hold Option + Shift while making the adjustments....

Instagram has begun testing a similar app feature, called Reels, on its Brazilian audience. The feature isn’t available globally yet, but seems to mimic the TikTok concept through another feature that Instagram has already dominated: stories. Reels is a simple addition that’s expected to enhance a user’s Instagram story creation. It appears to be a setting dedicated to creating 15-second videos with music capabilities, according to Business Insider. This concept follows the concept behind TikTok, which allows users to create charismatic videos in a short time frame with musical backing....

Naturally, the ‘Sunday NFL Countdown’ crew got a brief moment to discuss their thoughts, because when Mike Ditka gets the chance to wear a mascot head, you take it. Hey, that’s Lee Corso’s bit!

Well, OK, no one has ever said that, but considering Rob Gronkowski has the same level of enthusiasm — and mental capacity — as a puppy dog, the same adage probably applies. MORE: Gronk reads erotic novel | Gronk on Super Bowl brawl | Gronk & Lynch play video games After a whirlwind 24 hours following the Patriots’ thrilling 28-24 victory over the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX, Gronkowski was desperate for some shut eye and couldn’t wait until he boarded his flight home....

The former president promised his supporters when leaving office that he’d return to politics. And while he’s been teasing a 2024 run for the White House, in the meantime he’s issued endorsements in federal and statewide races ahead of the 2022 midterm election cycle. Some Republicans, like House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, have welcomed Trump’s assistance as the party looks to regain control of Congress. Currently, Democrats enjoy a narrow majority in the House and an advantage in the evenly divided Senate with Vice President Kamala Harris available to cast any tie-breaking votes....

The Dancing With the Stars grand finale took place on November 21 and saw Shangela and Gleb Savchenko take on Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy, Wayne Brady and Witney Carson, and Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas in hopes of taking home the Mirrorball Trophy. Shangela and Savchenko came in fourth place on the evening after putting on an epic performance which saw professional dancer Savchenko transform into his drag alter ego “Natasha” and earned the pair a perfect 40/40 score from the judges....

It’s a noble sentiment, putting Clemente alongside Jackie Robinson with uniform numbers honored forever. It would also be a mistake. It’s not because Clemente is undeserving of such a tribute — far from it. The problem is that by marking history for Clemente the same way that Major League Baseball did in 1997 by retiring Robinson’s No. 42, it would have the unintended consequence of diminishing Clemente, baseball’s first Latino superstar....

A team of international experts convened by the World Health Organization (WHO) was supposed to engage in a second phase of investigatory efforts, but the process has stalled, raising concerns that waning antibodies could leave early cases undetected. Combined with animals being culled and farms and markets being shut down, researchers face a challenge drawing a definitive conclusion as to the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Crucially, the window is rapidly closing on the biological feasibility of conducting the critical trace-back of people and animals inside and outside China,” the experts wrote in a commentary for the journal, Nature....

Hemabate belongs to a group of drugs called prostaglandins. It works by contracting the uterus. This helps slow bleeding after delivery. It also can induce an abortion by causing the uterus to contract in a way similar to labor. What Is Hemabate Used For? Hemabate is an injectable medication used to treat postpartum hemorrhage when other treatment options have failed. Hemabate may also induce an abortion during weeks 13 through 20 of pregnancy....

The Reds surprisingly eased past Manchester City in the quarter-final, defeating Pep Guardiola’s men by a 5-1 aggregate scoreline. Even more surprising was Roma’s remarkable comeback against Barcelona, with the Serie A side winning the second leg 3-0 to advance on away goals in a 4-4 aggregate result. Liverpool managed to avoid European powers Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the semi-final draw, but Henderson said the Reds are taking nothing for granted....
