Annika and her wife, Rachel, bought a four-bedroom house, complete with cellar and coal bunker, and have been restoring it ever since. The pair reckon their U.K. home, built at the end of the 19th century, has “stood in a time capsule since 1962” and needed a lot of TLC to modernize it, while being sympathetic to the original features. The pair, who have been sharing their DIY journey to their TikTok account, @victorianadventure, shared an update over the incredible tiles on Thursday....

“Yesterday the members of @lorneparkbc voted to fire me. The vote went 58-53 in favour of termination,” Joplin tweeted on Tuesday. “I only slept about 90 minutes last night - not for dread or anxiety, but out of eager anticipation over entering the next chapter of my life. I don’t know where I’ll land next, but I know I’ll land as my authentic self.” Joplin is due to deliver a guest sermon via Zoom at St....

“We can finally report what our nation has needed to hear for a very long time: More help is on the way,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on the floor. “I hope we can do this as promptly as possible.” The roughly $900 billion relief package would include, among other things: $600 individual checks; $300 weekly supplemental unemployment insurance; small-business aid through the Paycheck Protection Program; food and rental assistance; and money for schools....

The Edmonton Oilers announced on Wednesday that McDavid, the best prospect since Sidney Crosby and already a pretty good player, will miss “months” because of the injury, which came courtesy of a Tuesday night skid into the boards.

Months.”...

That mindset paid off again Thursday night when Kyle Connor scored with 1:14 remaining to give the Jets a 4-3 victory over the slumping Columbus Blue Jackets. “We’ve done it enough this year that we have a lot of confidence that we know we don’t have to change our game,” Wheeler said. “We can continue to play the same way for 60 minutes. “We’re going to generate enough chances. It’s just a matter of finishing them....

Trafalgar Group CEO Robert Cahaly was one of only a few pollsters to correctly predict former President Donald Trump’s victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016. His polling firm may have been one of the country’s most inaccurate during the 2022 election cycle, predicting a massive national surge of GOP support that largely failed to materialize. During an interview published by New York magazine on Thursday, Cahaly defended his polling methods while arguing that the Republican Party’s poor strategy and inability to “get out the vote” was to largely blame for his polls being out of sync with the election results....

On Monday, the late 62-year-old’s friend and co-host of Real Science Radio Fred Williams announced his death on Facebook in a now-deleted post. “It comes with an extremely heavy heart that my close friend and co-host of Real Science Radio has lost his battle with COVID,” said Williams. “Bob Enyart was one of the smartest, and without question the wisest person I’ve known. All the while being exceedingly kind and humble, and always, always willing to listen and discuss anything you wanted....

New Delhi, May 17 (PTI) A formidable Chennai Super Kings will be aiming to tie up loose ends ahead of the play-offs when they take on a listless Delhi Daredevils in a rare dead rubber of the Indian Premier League here tomorrow.

Aaron Humphries, 32, claims he suffered “life-changing injuries” after he was hit in the leg following a tense standoff. Police dashed to Ronkswood Hill, Worcester, in England’s West Midlands region, after reports Humphries was holding a submachine gun outside his ex-partner’s house on October 2 last year. He claims the weapon was a plastic BB gun and he had no intention of threatening anyone with it and was asleep in his car when police were called....

One one hand, they have Dak Prescott, whom most people would agree is clearly the top signal-caller on the roster. On the other, they have backup Cooper Rush, who has led the Cowboys to a 4-0 record in place of the injured Prescott. Including a winning start last season, Rush is just the 14th quarterback in NFL history to begin his career 5-0 as a starter. Hence, Dallas owner/general manager Jerry Jones’, ahem, questionable, assertion that he would gladly welcome a “QB controversy” in Dallas....

However, after the 2014 horror show in the Maracana which played host to the Selecao’s lowest point in their decorated history as Germany crushed the hopes of a nation, pride and redemption is on the line. A strange coincidence that transpired on the eve of the encounter against the Germans as well as before Brazil’s opener is the absence of their main man Neymar through injury. A knee injury against Qatar in a pre-tournament friendly has forced their brightest hope to take a backseat....

Wonderkid Almoez Ali and Boualem Khouki struck apiece in the second-half to cancel the deficit after Oscar Cardozo and Derlis Gonzalez were on target for the Albirroja. With creativity and imagination running dry for large spells of the match, individual moments of brilliance from Gonzalez and Ali lifted it out of the rut before the bizarre fashion of Al-Annabi’s equalizer - forced in after Rodrigo Rojas inadvertently nodded the ball into his own net - applied the finishing touches....

The Seleção got its title defense off to the best possible start on Sunday with a 3-0 thrashing of Venezuela, courtesy of goals from Neymar, his Paris Saint-Germain teammate Marquinhos and Gabriel Barbosa. Winners on home soil two years ago, the five-time world champions are hoping to repeat the feat after the tournament was moved to Brazil only two weeks before its start after Argentina and Colombia were stripped of hosting rights due to a surge in COVID-19 cases and civil unrest respectively....

Not since the opening match of the 2014 World Cup, against Ghana, had the U.S. trotted out the exact same lineup as the previous match. In that instance the Americans were coming off a convincing victory against Nigeria. The U.S. wasn’t coming in off the high of a victory when it took the field against Costa Rica on Tuesday, but rather a loss to Colombia. Klinsmann insisted his team had played well that day and matched the highly rated Colombians, save for a pair of defensive mistakes....

However, it was wasn’t all about Barcelona as Los Herculanos put up an impressive performance leaving Barcelona with a lot to do in the second leg at the Camp Nou. With the Clasico in mind, Barcelona went into the game with a second string squad led by Brazillian Rafinha. Samuel Umtiti made his return from injury while Alex Carbonell, Carles Alena and Borja Lopez were given a game. Hercules took the lead early in the second half through David Mainz, but Barcelona was quick to reply through a fantastic goal from Carlos Alena....

Defending champions River rallied for a 2-2 result at Internacional to register their third draw in as many games in Group A. A draw had looked unlikely when they fell two goals behind after 31 minutes in Porto Alegre. Nicolas Lopez poked in the opener for the Brazilian hosts before Edenilson’s strike just after the half-hour mark. River started their comeback just before half-time, Lucas Pratto converting a penalty following a handball in the area....
