Referees and goalkeepers make strange bedfellows but actually share much in common. Both have the capacity on a football pitch, for better or worse, to change a game in a single moment and often as a consequence of either excellent or questionable judgement. As such, both occupations are especially vulnerable to being defined by seconds of utter madness rather than 90 minutes worth of effort. Last weekend’s English Premier League fixtures raised familiar talking points that are becoming something of a theme this season....

The program on the Russia-1 channel, which pushes fiery anti-Western rhetoric and the pro-Kremlin line on the war in Ukraine, featured a segment about the Tesla CEO on Wednesday. Standing in front of a screen showing Musk’s tweet, anchor Olga Skabeyeva read out how the world’s richest man had put forward a four-point plan for peace. This included redoing elections under U.N. supervision in the four Ukrainian regions that President Vladimir Putin has claimed he has annexed—the provinces of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson....

Nervously, John A. Walker Jr. explained that he had top secrets to sell. “I was the first one who met him,” Solomatin told me. “If I had said no, there is no Walker case. I am proud of this case.” I asked what had convinced him that Walker was not an FBI or Navy plant. “When he showed me the code keys,” Solomatin replied with a smile. There is a moral to the story....

Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harris (now Harty), Tre’Quan Smith and Lil’Jordan Humphrey all tried to break through last year as Michael Thomas missed the season with persistent foot issues, but they were unable to step up. Callaway led the team with 698 receiving yards, making the Saints one of four teams without a receiver breaking 700 yards (the Giants, Jets, and Browns were the other three). Despite coming on late in the season, his catch percentage was just 54....

The highly anticipated welterweight showdown is set. Former champions Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia will face one another Saturday night [Showtime, 9 p.m ET/6 p.m. PT] at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Whoever leaves the ring victorious will be champion again, this time as the holder of the WBC belt. Porter [28-2-1, 17 knockouts] expects to be the last man standing. But he’ll have to be on his A-game to make it happen....

Since the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that smallpox was eradicated in 1980, researchers have only had animal analogs to test treatment options. Post-Exposure Vaccination Giving a patient the smallpox vaccine after the patient has already been exposed was the main treatment of choice if it was thought that there would be time for the vaccine to work. The treatment was not an option if the patient already had developing lesions....

The sequence is so memorable that it’s often mistakenly referred to as the movie’s opening scene, despite the framing narrative of an older Private Ryan visiting military graves. With the 25-minute D-Day sequence, Spielberg instantly immerses the audience in the horrors of war. As with any of the greatest sequences ever put on film, the story behind Saving Private Ryan’s D-Day landings set piece is a fascinating one.

That’s felt in all aspects of the game. Street Fighter 6 has the first interactive lobby in the franchise, and that lobby has several bonus features alongside the typical matchmaking and spectating. The game also brought back World Tour, which is the classic Street Fighter Alpha mode in name only due to SF6’s take expanding into a full 3D adventure. With Street Fighter’s first fully customizable avatar at the center of both modes, so much of Street Fighter 6 is new that it almost looks like a different series....

Surgery The primary treatment for synovial sarcoma is surgery to remove the tumor. The type of surgery performed depends on the location and size of the tumor....

Superman’s story is embedded in American pop-culture. The journey of the immigrant from the stars that crash-landed in Kansas has been told time and again over the course of 80 years. Superman: Red Son flips that familiar narrative on its head. What would happen when that same alien landed in the Soviet Union instead of the United States? Would that alien still grow up to do good and fulfill his destiny?...

Justin Turner, Max Muncy and Chris Taylor are consistent starters for the 2020 Dodgers, including in the World Series. Turner and Muncy were both released before joining the Dodgers, while Taylor was traded from Seattle to LA for very little. Each of that trio has developed home-run power with the Dodgers while proving versatile defensively, too. Without Turner, Muncy and Taylor, the Dodgers likely wouldn’t have been the best team in baseball in 2020....

Carrasco suffered a low-grade oblique strain during his start in Atlanta on Monday and will miss three to four weeks, MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reports. The injury weakens the rotation amid arguably the team’s toughest stretch of the season as it faces an NL East gauntlet (Braves, Phillies) before playing the Yankees, getting a reprieve against the Rockies, and then playing the Dodgers to end the month. It’s a brutal time to be without Carrasco, but at least Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer are pitching....

So Adams pushed the ball through the middle, U.S. teenager Ricardo Pepi forced a save from Honduras goalkeeper Luis Lopez, and veteran Sebastian Lletget slammed the ball into the net off the rebound to complete a soaring 4-1 victory that stood as the first for the U.S. in the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying. Who would have believed at halftime of Wednesday’s game the Americans would close the night focusing on goal differential?...

Things you might ask yourself about your view of life include: Is this right? Is this meant to be? Why can’t I do it? Is there something wrong with me? It is okay to ask a friend or an adult about your perceptions, feelings and impressions. Life is not fair or unfair. You can think the glass is half empty or half full. You should understand why things happen. Then accept them instead of considering yourself a victim of some force you cannot control....

The virtual event is the result of a partnership between O2, British music label Island Records and Fortnite developer Epic Games. Formerly known as the Millennium Dome, the world-famous entertainment venue has been meticulously recreated in the online battle royale, albeit with some fictional expansion to the backstage area, so that players have something to do. Among other things, you can hunt for collectables, ride around in a giant hamster ball, overcome a challenging obstacle course and surf in a custom wave pool....

For example, if you are good at drawing, consider careers in visual design. If you are good at writing, think about how you can leverage that in your own career. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you should commit yourself to being a novelist or an artist, which can be difficult careers. But you should consider other careers that utilize these skills, like advertising, architecture, interior design, or law. Part of this will consist of setting up a daily schedule....

Cleanse your black tourmaline so you can access all its healing properties. Purify your crystal after anyone handles it or if you’ve been around toxic energy.

If you already have a map that you want to add the pin to, click that instead.

If you are using an early version of Illustrator, you may find the drop shadow dialogue box by selecting “Object” in the top horizontal toolbar and choosing “Drop Shadow” from the pop out menu. The drop shadow dialogue box should appear. If you repeat the steps to create a drop shadow from the “Effects” menu, then it will create another drop shadow on top of your current shadow.

Keep in mind that calculated fields can’t use references or named ranges in formulas—this means you can’t use functions like INDEX, OFFSET, or VLOOKUP in your custom field. However, functions like IF, SUM, COUNT, and any others that don’t require references or named ranges are fine. The PivotTable Analyze menu is only visible when you click to activate the pivot table. If the menu ever disappears, just click the pivot table again to bring it back up....
