Mein Kampf was written by Hitler before he rose to power in Germany and began his attempted genocide of Jewish persons. According to a description of the book by the Jewish advocacy group Anti-Defamation League, the book serves as Hitler’s “blueprint” for his actions during World War II. “Written eight years before he assumed power in Germany, the book lays it all out: his megalomania, his conspiratorial obsession with Jews and his lust for power,” the description reads....

Coworkers confirmed that McEwen died while attempting to shelter in place with other employees in a bathroom. “He was my friend and he didn’t make it,” said Brian Erdmann, another employee at the warehouse who’d been out making deliveries. “If I would have got back 45 minutes earlier, I probably would have been at the same place....
Experts say this feature can highlight a user’s level of risk for developing metabolic health issues like type 2 diabetes and heart disease, but they caution against fixating on this percentage, exclusively. “This number alone only tells you increased risk,” Keri Gans, RD, CDN, author of “The Small Change Diet,” tells Verywell. “It doesn’t tell you actual blood pressure, resting heart rate, cholesterol levels, bone density, or any other labs and assessment needed for a health evaluation by a medical professional....
However, fiercely competitive social media factions appear to be at war over the book, with claims of “organized” campaigning. Meghan fan accounts urged her “Sussex Squad” supporters to write their own reviews and vote on existing posts about the book in an effort to boost its rating. “Due to this activity, we have limited this product to verified purchase reviews.” The biography has been received as Meghan and Harry’s side of the story following years of reporting on the couple....
The former couple’s relationship came under scrutiny after Depp filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife in response to a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she said she was a domestic abuse survivor. Depp was not named in the piece. In June, a jury found that Heard had defamed Depp and awarded him more than $10 million. Depp, in turn, was ordered to pay $2 million to Heard—who had countersued for $100 million, charging that he had defamed her through comments made by his attorney Adam Waldman....

The agreement—an extension of the original START treaty signed during the Cold War—has been described by former Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev as one of the “three principal pillars of global strategic stability,” and the only one still in operation. Russian officials have repeatedly said the Kremlin will back an extension of the agreement with no pre-conditions. But President Donald Trump’s administration has delayed a final decision. According to Lynn Rusten—a former senior director for arms control and nonproliferation for the White House National Security Council—the delay represents a major long-term security risk....
That’s why President Trump should easily beat Joe Biden at tomorrow’s presidential debate, when national security is the topic. Trump has never wavered from the vision he laid out four years ago. That’s why he will have my vote come November 3, and it is a big reason I believe he will be reelected. The facts speak for themselves. Far from the lazy trope of isolationism that some of his critics like to tar and feather him with, Trump has successfully aligned U....
Some teams embraced the familiarity inherent in league foes. Michigan and Virginia, for example, raced out to brilliant starts against Big Ten and ACC opponents, respectively, after stumbling through portions of the nonconference schedule. Some teams went the opposite way. Baylor has tumbled to a 2-7 start to Big 12 play and Oregon’s lone win in its first six Pac-12 tries came in OT to a Utah team that isn’t remotely a contender for the league title....
Katalin Karikó admits that at the beginning of 2020, when word began to spread of a novel virus called COVID-19, she really didn’t think it would turn into a pandemic. She was as surprised as anyone. But there was one difference: She was ready. She’d been getting ready, in a sense, for almost 40 years. Karikó, a molecular biologist, had been working since her student days on messenger RNA—mRNA for short—a compound in living cells that carries genetic instructions for making proteins for all sorts of purposes....
Nickels wasn’t the only one who was starting to worry about climate change. In February 2005, 141 nations worldwide were preparing to put the Kyoto Protocol into effect—aiming to reduce global warming by cutting greenhouse-gas emissions 7 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. The United States was notably not one of them, so Nickels decided to “show the world there was intelligent life in the United States after all” by getting American cities to commit to Kyoto’s targets....

And they think this design is going to end the controversy? That has to be the most-offensive flag in the world! Yeah, and the Confederate imagery is problematic, too! Not to sound like the no-good, Northeastern, liberal, Yuppie, pluralistic, peacenik, atheist that I am, but isn’t anyone troubled that putting “In God We Trust” on a state flag is an overt attack on the Constitutionally mandated separation of church and state?...
