Begun in the 1970s, the airport radiates out from under a bold, futuristic geodesic dome and is connected to an enormous hexagonal mosque that can accommodate up to 5,000 worshipers, with a courtyard big enough for an additional 4,000. The budget for the entire complex exceeded $3.2 billion, and it took more than 10 years to complete. It’s one of the many large-scale development projects the Saudi government has been able to undertake, thanks to a gargantuan stream of oil revenue that shows no sign of drying up any time soon....

Jackson sees no choice but to focus on the black community itself. Though he continues to blame societal neglect, though he complains that Bill Clinton has yet to honor his campaign promises, Jackson increasingly aims his speeches at the most basic moral issues among his people: black-on-black violence, the disappearance of families and religious values in city slums, the silent, corrosive assent of students to guns and drugs in urban schools....

What Are Steroids? Essentially, all steroids are chemicals that share some basic components of their molecular structure. But steroids are a broad class of molecules, and different steroids have very different properties. The most common steroids include anabolic steroids, sex hormones, corticosteroids, and cholesterol. You need not be a scientist to understand that these compounds have very different properties, and these are just the steroids found in mammals; insects, plants, and fungi also have characteristic steroid molecules....

Many people will not know that they have anal warts, as there may not be any symptoms. However, it is important to have anal warts diagnosed and either treated or monitored for increasing number and/or size. Most anal warts are not associated with cancer, but a small percentage are.

Howard warns EPL: Bradley is no pushover! Speaking at a press conference before Bayern visits Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, the Italian manager said the 21-year-old American could make his first Bundesliga appearance for the Bavarian giants soon. “Green is in the squad and he will get his chance to play in the next few games,” Ancelotti said. “He’s a good player and works with total concentration in training every day....

Muller has endured a difficult 2016-17 campaign, scoring just once in 13 Bundesliga appearances. ‘No room for Muller at Bayern’ The 27-year-old’s struggles prompted comments from former Bayern star Lother Matthaus that he might struggle to win over Ancelotti after the winter break as he does not fit the Italian’s style. Nevertheless, Ancelotti has laughed off Matthaus’ remarks and has ensured Muller he still has a role to play at the Allianz Arena....

The former Real Madrid boss enjoyed eight wins from his first eight competitive matches after taking over from Guardiola, with their perfect record ultimately ending in a 1-0 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid in October. Since that loss, however, three draws and Saturday’s Der Klassiker reversal in the Bundesliga have seen the champions surrender top spot to RB Leipzig and prompted questions about their progress under Ancelotti. But Guardiola has no doubt the Italian will deliver trophies if he is given time to implement his ideas....

The extension of the necropolis contains ancient tombs dating to different time periods, including the late period (around 664-332 B.C.) of ancient Egypt, the Ptolemaic period (332–30 B....

GEORGE BUSH, to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention last week In origin and inspiration, just-war-reasoning is essentially religious, usually Christian. Its main concepts were formulated in the fourth century by Saint Augustine, who sought to reconcile the Christian commandment to “love your neighbor as yourself” with the soldier’s duty to kill. Augustine’s theories were given greater precision by Saint Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century, when chivalry still governed the waging of battles, and refined by 17th-century Spanish theologians, who aimed to limit rather than justify the war-making powers of the emerging nation-states....

According to a study published in the Geophysical Journal International, subtle, unusual movements in the Earth’s surface indicate that the Eifel Volcanic Region in west-central Germany—located near the country’s border with Belgium and Luxembourg—is not extinct. This region has a long history of volcanic activity and is dotted with many ancient volcanic features, including low-relief craters known as “maars”—some of which are filled with water, forming circular lakes—that are the remnants of violent volcanic eruptions....

And when excerpts from your client’s personal diary actually celebrate such assaults (“Violence always marks the end of a relationship….” ), well, you do the best you can. Nonetheless on Thursday, Oct. 17, Room 305, in the city court building across the street from Philadelphia’s City Hall, was brimming with drama. Seated in the front row were Holly Maddux’s four siblings, who had been impatiently pursuing justice for decades.

It’s a far cry from the near-catatonic demeanor she showed on the morning of June 20 when she was led in handcuffs away from the family’s Clear Lake home, where police found her dead children, ages 6 months to 7 years. With the help of Haldol, an antipsychotic drug, and psychiatric treatment at the Harris County Jail, Yates’s health has improved over the last several months, relatives say. “She still has a lot of confusion,” her brother, Andrew Kennedy, tells NEWSWEEK....

Ladd signed a seven-year deal worth $38.5 million during the 2016 free agency period. It was the longest contract the Islanders had awarded a player since defenseman Nick Leddy signed for the same length in 2015. The Islanders invested such a large chunk of their salary cap into the two-time Stanley Cup champion to add that experience to the fold, but an injury plagued season resulted in Ladd finishing with just 31 points — the lowest since 2006-07, his first full season in the NHL....

Merkel is one of a few European Union leaders who have criticized the bill. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called it “a shame” and vowed in a statement to use all the powers of the commission to protect LGBT rights in the EU....

It’s been almost 10 years since Bassett, now 43, had her own shot at the Oscar, exploding onto the screen as a rip-roaring, muscle-flexing Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got to Do With It.’’ Trained at Yale’s drama school, and blessed with regal cheekbones and flawless skin, Bassett radiated a cool that audiences hadn’t seen from a black actress on the big screen since the days of Diana Ross, Diahann Carroll and Cicely Tyson in the early ’70s....
