The 20-year-old was viciously attacked when the men reportedly forced their way into his home on Sunday afternoon in the Malasaña neighborhood of Madrid, Spain. The victim told police eight individuals dressed in black sweatshirts and balaclavas assaulted him when he entered the doorway of his house around 5:15 p.m., cutting his lip with a knife before cutting his buttocks and marking him with the word “f*****”, police sources told local publication elDiario....

Every year, a half million Americans are sidelined by injuries to the cartilage in their knees. The smooth, viscous tissue normally cushions the tips of the thigh and shin bones, letting them turn on each other as freely as ice against ice. But when the cartilage gets chipped or torn, as Clukey’s was, the bones start to grate on each other. Because cartilage doesn’t heal on its own, even a minor knee injury can lead to crippling arthritis....

Chmerkovskiy was on the podcast “Allegedly with Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss” when he blasted Solo, who was his dance partner in 2011.

“I have taken the decision to exit my Russian citizenship. I can’t and won’t be associated with a fascist country, that started a war with their peaceful neighbour and killing innnocent [sic] people daily,” Tinkov, a Russian billionaire and founder of the Tinkoff Bank, said in an Instagram post, sharing a photo of the documents he filed on his citizenship. “It is a shame for me to continue to hold this passport....

No, I mean the kind that women take to relieve symptoms of menopause and that they were not-so-long-ago told to take to prevent heart disease. The prevention possibilities are zero, according to studies going back a decade. But hope springs eternal that at least estrogen and progestin (the standard duo for most women) don’t raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, breast cancer or anything else that can kill you, since that would be a steep price to pay for relief from hot flashes....

“I can’t think about it,” the French forward told Sporting News on Monday. “I have to think about it, but I also have to go with it and stay strong."

Aliens Versus Predator from Fox Interactive ($40; 888-223-2369) lets you battle through 32 tense levels as one of three fearsome creatures: the alien that stalked Sigourney Weaver, the monster who hunted Arnold Schwarzenegger or a U.S. Marine. And the 3-D graphics transport you to the sci-fi flicks that inspired the game. It is difficult, terrifying and much more gory than your average first-person shooter: We’ve seen blood and twitching limbs before but never so detailed and fully animated....

The Ahern Hotel and Convention Center was issued a $10,930 fine last week after hosting the Trump event on August 6 and a Miss Nevada pageant on August 9, local TV station KVVU-TV Fox 5 reported on Monday. Police visited the hotel following the beauty pageant, and the fine was issued by the state’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration for four violations of coronavirus rules. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the Evangelicals for Trump event had about 550 people in attendance, according to Nevada’s Department of Business and Industry, while the Miss Nevada pageant hosted about 200....

According to USA Today, the new channel will focus solely on the fantasy football aspect of the fast and furious field follies. Co-hosted by former NFL linebacker Dhani Jones and Rotoworld/NBC Sports’ Kay Adams, the show, unlike “Red Zone,” will feature a live studio audience, frequent celebrity appearances and two obvious essentials: an on-set kitchen and in-house chef. Remember when the fantasy-obsessed could just lock themselves in a room and watch a solo Andrew Siciliano on “Red Zone” to get their live-scoring fix from 1-8 p....

New Jersey congressman Tom Malinowski joined Minnesota Democrat Dean Phillips and Michigan Independent Justin Amash in filing the House Resolution that affirms the chamber’s members are in agreement “the president remains limited by the Constitution and laws of the United States.” The House resolution responds to Trump’s remarks Monday declaring he has “total” authority over state governors to reopen the economy when he decides to pull back on weeks of federal government social distancing guidelines....

Predicted by Democrats to raise $737 billion in new tax and health care savings revenue, the bill aims to shave the national debt by over $300 billion while also investing $437 billion in efforts to combat climate change, support drought resiliency and extend the Affordable Care Act.

Under the new proposal, the city would open a $30 million direct relief fund for those struggling financially due to the pandemic, along with another $10 million to help small businesses, according to a Tuesday report from The Houston Chronicle. Harris County, which contains Houston, launched a similar program in November. “People can utilize that on whatever—utility, rent, you name it,” Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner told the paper. “We’re doing everything we can with the dollars we’ve been given to try to meet those needs or people where they are....

During a recent interview with NBC’s Today show, Pena was asked by host Savannah Guthrie if he thinks that Scott should have called off the show “once he saw what was taking place.” In response to the question, Pena said, “absolutely. We all have a responsibility. Everybody at that event has a responsibility, starting from the artist, on down.” Pena continued, “The artist has command of that crowd and in my opinion, and this is my opinion right now because everything is going to be fleshed out throughout this investigation, but certainly, the artist, if he notices something that’s going on, he can certainly pause that performance, turn on the lights and say, ‘Hey we’re not going to continue until this thing is resolved....

The attack comes just days after President Joe Biden’s administration rescinded the terrorist organization designation applied to the Houthis by predecessor President Donald Trump in his final days in office. It also follows Sunday’s warning from the State Department that the Houthis must stop attacks on civilian targets.

For example, Top Boy takes place in the same location as Top Boy: Summerhouse and features many of the original cast members, including Dushane (Ashley Walters), Sully (Kane Robinson), Dris (Shone Romulus), and Gem (Giacomo Mancini). However, some faces are missing, in particular, fans of Summerhouse have spotted Ra’Nell never made a comeback in Season 2. Walters explained Ra’Nell’s fate in conversation with Newsweek and other media and also said that he and co-star Kane Robinson served as executive producers on the most recent series....

It is unclear how long it will be before a vaccine is produced. Experts say the resources diverted into COVID-19 research mean the world could have a solution within 18 months. Some researchers have even said they are hopeful of a vaccine by the start of 2021. To date, at least 4.9 million people have been infected and 323,000 killed by COVID-19, according to Johns Hopkins University. The true figure for both is likely much higher, unknown due to a paucity of testing and state-sanctioned efforts to conceal the scale of the disaster....

Stories of such near misses abound in “The Age of Sacred Terror” (490 pages. Random House), Benjamin and Simon’s gripping account of Al Qaeda’s rise and America’s response. The revelations serve a profoundly serious purpose: to explain how the United States could have been so blind on that terrible morning 14 months ago. By chronicling the many pitfalls of counterterrorism, the authors hope to help avert future attacks. The book begins far beyond American shores, with a careful history of Islamist terrorism....

If ALM has spread, additional treatments, such as chemotherapy, may be needed. Unlike most skin cancers, ALM has no association with sun exposure. ALM accounts for 70% of melanomas in Black people, 46% in Asian people, and less than 10% in White people. In this article, we will review the treatment options.

It also has important impacts on breathing during sleep. How does alcohol affect the risk of sleep apnea and snoring by relaxing the muscles of the airway? While about 20% of Americans have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), only about 10% have received a diagnosis. During an episode of sleep apnea, your air passage narrows to such a degree it interrupts your natural breathing cycle and wakes you up, although you may fall back to sleep so fast you don’t know you were ever awake....
