One of YouTube’s original vloggers with 20 million subscribers, Marbles whose real name is Jenna Mourey, announced the move on Thursday in a video entitled “A Message,” where she apologized for past racist and sexist content. “I feel like we’re at a time where we are purging ourselves of anything and everything toxic,” the 33-year-old said.

The combination of a bigger sample size and controlling for situation, looking only at what happens when both teams have five skaters on the ice, gave Corsi and its sister statistic Fenwick a huge advantage in accurately measuring team and player performance. MORE: How a Drew Doughty-Erik Karlsson joint free agency would alter the NHL Even in that raw state, Corsi predicted future goals better than goals themselves did.

Friday has been set as a self-imposed deadline for talks, with both sides suggesting it may be difficult to bridge the distance between their respective stances. With indications from White House officials involved that further discussions appear futile, Trump’s prior suggestion of taking matters into his own hands with an executive order seems increasingly likely. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), negotiating alongside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, said Thursday the latest talks had been disappointing....

The calls come amid a deadlock in Congress over stimulus talks, as many support measures are about to or have expired, including unemployment benefits. There is no set deadline for the passing of a second stimulus bill. “Aggregate demand trouble is brewing,” Chicago Federal Reserve President Charles Evans told reporters on a call, Reuters reported. He also said that the ball is now in Congress’ court. “Fiscal policy is fundamental to a better baseline outlook, to a stronger recovery and getting the unemployment rate down, people back to work safely, and ultimately reopening the schools safely,” he continued....

And so began what Nancy called her husband’s “long goodbye,” which was, for her, 10 years of exacting caregiving, hurried lunches with friends, ever-briefer phone calls to the outside world, hours spent with old love letters and powerful advocacy for new research into cures for the disease that was taking Ronnie from her. Through the long years after the diagnosis, she never wavered. She stood by him, rarely leaving his side for more than an hour or two....

“This was The Piano Bar–my favorite cafe; nice music, nice people,” Visar said, running his hand gingerly across a smashed glass storefront in Pec’s center and studying the looted interior. We walked past Pec’s oldest mosque–windows blackened, silver dome broken like an eggshell–and through the ruins of the central market. Charred yet intact safes stood in the back of many burned-out shops. “These stores belonged to Albanian gold merchants,” Visar said....

–Kevin Keen, Wausau, Wash. This is one old wives’ tale that’s actually true. Gum is indigestible. Still, swallowing it is totally harmless. Chewing gum has five main kinds of ingredients–sweeteners, softeners, corn syrup, flavorings and gum base. The first four are easily broken down by the body. But the gum base is indigestible. It’s also what makes gum sticky in your mouth and on your shoes. Don’t worry, though–it doesn’t stick to the stomach walls and build up (so no, kids, no matter what your mother says, you won’t explode)....
