MACKINNON: How did you feel when you saw Gujarat burning? ROY: The worst thing was that BJP governments in New Delhi and Gujarat tried to say it was an administration problem: how to get the police and Army in. But they’ve been assiduously working up this feeling for years, stoking these ugly passions. If it was an uncontrolled communal frenzy, why wasn’t it repeated in other states? It’s because Gujarat’s the only state where the BJP’s in power....
The former Manchester United captain, who completed a return to Goodison Park this week, marked his first start back in a blue shirt by firing his side ahead with a dipping shot from 30 yards out.

Ralf Rangnick’s team picked up pace in the second half to sting the Bees thrice and pick up a 3-1 win at the Brentford Community Stadium.

As a virologist and influenza expert, what has occurred to you as you’ve watched this epidemic unfold? I guess the key question in my mind is, is it going to become a pandemic? A pandemic is something that spreads throughout the entire world, and this seems to be heading in that direction. I have been watching this situation with great concern, because the worst pandemic that we know about is the 1918 flu pandemic, and the death rate in this thing right now [about 3....
Besides, it’s all in the rearview now, as if it never happened — at least, that’s how he sees it. “You know, it is adversity,” he pointed out after practice. “But in perspective, I’m still playing the game I love to play.” The prime of Schneider’s career came early on, when he became the full-time Vancouver Canucks backup in 2010-11, which saw him register a 2.23 GAA and .929 save percentage as he and Roberto Luongo won the William M....

Avatar 2 successfully managed to have the third-biggest global opening weekend in post-pandemic times behind Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home. The $1 billion mark worldwide has only been surpassed by three films since the pandemic, with Spider-Man: No Way Home falling shy of earning $2 billion.

But Virginia is getting by for now because she currently receives $500 a month from a guaranteed income demonstration project in the city. These payments allow Virginia to buy medicine and food for her kids and grandkids. It is a powerful example of how cash payments can help stabilize families before and during a crisis. Government programs proposed as an emergency response, like unemployment insurance, SNAP and Medicaid, are also essential to helping families in need....
The Senate passed Biden’s America Rescue Plan earlier Saturday, bringing a third direct payment one step closer to Americans. Democrats in the upper chamber agreed to drop the $15 minimum wage hike, lower the income threshold for the checks, and reduce weekly unemployment benefits from $400 to $300. Now the bill and amendments will be sent back to the House for approval, before Biden can sign it into law....
The $1.9 trillion package passed the House of Representatives on Wednesday along party lines with all but one Democrat voting in favor of it and all Republicans opposing it. Once Biden signs it, the Treasury Department can start sending out the third round of stimulus check, which is worth the largest amount of money of any of the economic impact payments. “For weeks now, an overwhelming percentage of Americans — Democrats, Independents, and Republicans – have made it clear they support the American Rescue Plan....
Before the holiday break on December 14, the school district’s board of education approved a new supplement plan that included salary increases for staff, including teachers, counselors, psychologists, and audiologists among others, according to a December 16 news release that sent to Newsweek on Friday. Under the approved plan, first-year 10-month teachers on the bachelor’s schedule would have received $8,200 annually in local supplements. However, the school’s district superintendent, Tricia McManus, said in a letter to staff, which was sent to Newsweek, that the approved salary increases for the certified employees were above what was budgeted for local increases, so employees would not get the expected pay increase....

But the way that WWE got Cena on the card to face Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Title was weird. They gave Finn Balor a title shot and then bizarrely had John Cena steal it from him during a contract signing segment. The Cenation Leader would fail at defeating The Tribal Chief, and now WWE is re-running the Balor and Reigns feud from before. But given that Cena’s arrival and departure have had seemingly no bearing on anything, perhaps WWE should’ve done things differently....
New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. made a statement Monday saying the hedge fund manager and Birthright Israel co-founder had “no geographic or moral boundaries” when acquiring the stolen antiquities originating from countries such as Egypt, Greece and Israel.

The Icon first donned the iconic black and white face paint for WCW in 1996 as he looked to change his colorful gimmick, which was starting to fall flat with the fanbase at the time. The change in appearance would help redefine his career, with the 63-year-old still wearing the look today. During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Kid Kash said that the movie The Crow inspired him to wear black and white face paint in the build-up to his WCW audition in the mid-90s....
