The Ravens quarterback is on his way to a likely MVP award, becoming just the second quarterback in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season (joining Michael Vick). But he hasn’t just been making defenders look silly with elite jukes; he’s been putting in work as a passer, leading the league in touchdown passes (28) while also having the fourth-best quarterback rating (109.2). All of this success in real life has made Jackson a favorite for gamers on the “Madden NFL 20” franchise....

In the six tumultuous weeks that have followed her rise to power, which included the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Truss tried to bring to life the libertarian dream of tax cuts and trickle-down economics that she had pledged during her campaign, only to see this same dream crash and burn when it met with the harsh reality of the current economic situation. Why Did Truss’ Libertarian Dream Fail? Inspired by Reaganomics, the free-market policies adopted by Ronald Reagan in 1980, Truss wanted to unleash economic growth in the U....

The new coronavirus outbreak shuttered businesses, prompting millions of people to file for unemployment, causing a downward economic spiral. Given the toll the outbreak is taking on people’s livelihoods, governors across the country are devising plans to get people back to work, and at least 20 states have started to reopen. Since it can take up to two weeks for a person to develop symptoms, Vincent Racaniello, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Columbia University, told Newsweek, it’ll be at least that long before a plan can be declared a success or failure....

A similar headless wonder chicken was reported in Thailand in 2018, and in 2021 a chef was bitten by the head of a disembodied snake. The question is, could a human carry out such a death-defying feat? Throughout history, beheading has been seen as one of the most foolproof forms of execution. During the French Revolution, only one of the 10,000 people who went under the guillotine received an “imperfect” execution, according to John Wilson Croker in his book of essays on the early period of the French Revolution....

The Cardinals were dealt a brutal blow on Monday night, when Kyler Murray went down with a non-contact injury on the third play of the game against the Patriots. While there was some question at the time over whether or not Murray would re-enter the game, it’s clear now that he wasn’t going to — and you won’t see him anytime soon. MRIs confirmed the worst-case scenario for Murray’s left knee on Tuesday, with the Cardinals passer suffering a torn ACL on that non-contact play....

Late in the third quarter of the Raptors’ lone trip to Dallas on Nov. 4, Pascal Siakam slipped and was forced to exit the game with an apparent injury. He would be ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after and has been sidelined for over three weeks since. Here is everything we know about Siakam’s injury and how close he is to returning to the floor....

Queen Elizabeth II died today at the age of 96 surrounded by her family at her home in Balmoral. She was well known for her love of animals. She favored horses, of which she owned more than 100, but the queen’s best friend may have been her corgis. The pedigree showing the line of corgis was posted on news correspondent Alex Salvi’s Twitter shortly after the Queen’s passing was announced....

“As Sam grapples with loss and acceptance, singing is her saving grace and leads her on a journey to discover herself and a community of outsiders who don’t fit in but don’t give up, showing that finding your people, and finding your voice, is possible. Anywhere. Somewhere,” the television network says. How Many Episodes of ‘Somebody Somewhere’ Are There? The new show has seven episodes, according to IMDb. The first episode will be released on January 16 at 10:30 p....

It’s been a long road back to competitive tennis for Murray, who underwent hip surgery in 2019. There was a real chance injury could have forced the two-time Wimbledon champion out of the sport, but Murray has always revelled in proving the doubters wrong and has ambitions of competing for major titles once more. In the first round of the 2023 Australian Open, he thrillingly rolled back the years to beat 13th seed Matteo Berrettini in five sets....

An attack on a Florida surfer at New Smyrna Beach on Friday marked the fourth to take place in Volusia County so far, but it’s one of more than a dozen that have occurred in the U.S. this year. According to the global shark tracking website, TrackingSharks, 14 shark attacks have been reported in the U.S. as of Monday. A total of seven attacks have occurred in Florida alone. Meanwhile, people in states like California, Maine, Hawaii and North Carolina have felt the wrath of sharks while swimming in the ocean this summer....

Since 1984, there has been only one candidate in the Democratic primary who won the primary elections held that day but who lost the nomination—making Super Tuesday an important indicator of who’s best poised to clinch the nomination. The only Democratic Super Tuesday winner who failed to later clinch the nomination was Senator Gary Hart (D-Colo.) in 1984. Although Hart, who was a senator at the time, won seven of the nine states that voted, former Vice President Walter Mondale went on to become the nominee....

Indeed, what the Astros are doing right now is special. They only trail the 1991-1999 Braves in consecutive LCS appearances (that team made it eight times, a streak that was interrupted only by the 1994 strike). However, they have just one World Series title to their name, and that is the ultimate goal. They’ve made it three times in this streak and four times total. The name of the game for these Astros?...

One of the towering lies of history in this century has been the belief, largely promulgated by our best-educated classes-writers, university teachers, journalists-that within the former Soviet Union there was to be found a fairer distribution of the decencies of life and a corrective to our own faulty society. While the evidence mounted of Stalin’s murderous regime, and of the cruelties and injustices of the more moderate dictatorships which followed upon it, the refusal to speak in opposition to Soviet totalitarianism and to the Soviet Union’s betrayal of the socialist ideal continued to be viewed as a chief proof of political tolerance and enlightenment....

The template for dressing on modern royal tours was set by Queen Elizabeth II in the 1950s and has been followed by royal women ever since. When Kate Middleton embarked on her first foreign tour as a member of the royal family in 2011, she dutifully followed the standard set by those that came before her. Now, with over a decade of royal service under her belt, Kate is beginning to relax the grip of precedent and tradition, allowing her to be a little more individual with her taste....

Even at the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020, heart disease was the leading cause of death in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But several studies have shown that cardiovascular diseases, which affect the heart or blood vessels, can be prevented by regular physical activity—especially aerobic or endurance exercise, also known as cardio. “Even light-intensity activity can offset some of the risks of being sedentary,” according to the American Heart Association....

The film beat expectations for a movie released during the COVID pandemic and it easily surpassed other box office records during the period. This was also true of the superhero flick’s performance around the world, with the film coming out on Wednesday, December 15 in a number of countries including the UK, France and Italy. Here is everything you need to know about Spider-Man: No Way Home’s box office results....

But in the last few weeks, hoping to reruffle some feathers, Derek Bok, the former president of Harvard, has gone on the hustings with his new book, “The Cost of Talent: How Executives and Professionals Are Paid and How It Affects America.” His answer to that question: salary gaps do more than rub people the wrong way. They send the wrong message about what is important; they inspire more people to design stock derivatives than to teach math, and they jeopardize democracy by weakening faith in the economic system....

Reyes and his family found themselves in a zone of uncertainty, with medical tests repeatedly confirming his symptoms but failing to provide a diagnosis. In the new Netflix series Diagnosis, Dr. Lisa Sanders, author of the New York Time Magazine column of the same title, explores cases where a course of treatment may not be immediately obvious, because a clear cause has not yet been identified. “Before I went to medical school, I had no idea there was this much uncertainty in medicine,” Sanders, an internist on the faculty of the Yale School of Medicine, told Newsweek....
