That wasn’t the last time somebody wanted to give Don Simpson a spanking. But decades later, he and his partner, Jerry Bruckheimer, are among the most successful movie producers in history. The ’80s were one long, nearly perfect summer as the pair made “Flashdance,” “Beverly Hills Cop” and “Top Gun.” The ’90s, however, were beginning to look like a nuclear winter. Simpson and Bruckheimer went almost five years without a hit-without a movie, practically....

Urushiol can also linger on clothing, firewood, or a pet’s fur and then transfer to your skin. The rash it causes (rhus dermatitis or Toxicodendron dermatitis) is red, itchy, and often marked by red bumps, blisters, and swelling. It can pop up anywhere from four hours to 10 days after exposure and last one to four weeks. While the rash itself isn’t contagious, if it is not thoroughly washed off, contact with urushiol can spread the resin to someone else....
Still other parents pull their kids out of school to solve what they think is a short-term problem–and find long-term challenges. Eric and Joyce Burges, who live outside Baton Rouge, La., began home schooling nearly a decade ago after their oldest son, Eric Jr., had a disastrous year at a selective magnet high school. It was a struggle at first; neither is a professional teacher. But as Eric Jr.’s confidence rose at home, so did Joyce’s, and she now teaches her four other kids, ages 15 to 3, at home as well....

On the 12th straight weekend of protests, black-clad demonstrators protested Chinese government surveillance armed with bamboo poles and baseball bats. They marched against “smart lamp posts” that was sparked by surveillance fears. “I understand being peaceful will not solve the problem,” a 19-year-old student protester called Ryan told the AFP news agency on Saturday. “The government won’t respond to peaceful protest,” he said. The key theme of this particular march was to oppose the government’s installation of smart lamp posts equipped with sensors, closed-circuit cameras and data networks....
Lam, who protesters are demanding resign from her position, condemned the behavior of both sides in a press conference on Monday, Reuters reported. Though she promised an investigation into the subway violence, Lam also said protesters should not have defaced the China Liaison Office building in the center of the city.

Past pro-democracy movements in the territory have petered out as residents grew tired of disruption and weary of conflict. The current unrest remains vigorous—and indeed developments have recently taken a dark turn—but how long it will last remains to be seen. The unrest stems from a proposed extradition bill that would allow Hong Kong to extradite criminals to face trial in mainland China. Opponents fear this would enable Beijing to target its political opponents in the territory and undermine the “one country, two systems” agreement active since Hong Kong was handed back to Chinese control....
MEYER: Democrats and liberals in Hong Kong feel incredibly pessimistic. They say this is the most important sign yet that the rule of law in Hong Kong is being eroded. IP: I think all these objections are more rhetorical than real. You only need to look at the responses from some of our judges. One retiring judge said that his job is to judge according to legal principles: the consequences are never his business....
Hormone Receptors & Receptor Tests All breast cancers are examined under a microscope for biomarkers of estrogen and progesterone receptors. About 70% of breast cancers are hormone receptor-positive. Your hormone receptor status should appear on your pathology report after biopsy or surgery. Receptors will be retested if you ever have a recurrence or metastases as well, as your status can change. Hormones and receptors go together kind of like a lock and key....

On Thursday, Chestnut set his sights on a new challenge: breaking the Big Mac eating world record. The record was 30, so Chestnut ordered 32 Big Macs from an Indianapolis-area McDonald’s using UberEats....
Once upon a time, studying Arabic would have placed a student squarely in the “What are you gonna do with that?” camp. But enrollment in U.S. college Arabic courses grew 92 percent between 1998 and 2002–and, spurred by 9/11 and the Iraq war, has probably doubled since then, says Gerald Lampe, president of the American Association of Teachers of Arabic. Twenty years ago most students took Arabic to read its literature or to travel, but when asked today, a plurality list “better employment options,” according to a new study by researchers at Georgetown and Michigan State....
