As I enter, I am greeted by the scent of smoke, and the buzzing and ticking of electric tattoo needles. It’s a sound I instantly recall and associate with piercing pain. Every inch of wall space is covered with all the art you could possibly imagine putting on your body: anchors and hearts with swords through them and half naked ladies and roses and snakes and more swords. So many swords....
England ended Day 2 on 119-3 and lost a set batsman in Rory Burns late in the day. Deep Dasgupta feels that although the pitch has slowed down, India will still be able to pick up wickets as the first hour will be difficult to negotiate for the new batsmen. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Dasgupta explained why he feels India will take a huge first-innings lead. England’s hopes are alive as long as Joe Root is there at the crease: Deep Dasgupta Joe Root has been in fantastic form this series and is on his way to scoring his third consecutive fifty-plus score....

First Lady Melania Trump did not accompany her husband to Palm Beach County’s main library on Summit Boulevard, where the president became one of more than 50 million Americans to vote early. “I voted for a guy named Trump,” the president joked. “Thank you very much everybody.” Trump was greeted at the polling place by Supervisor of Elections Wendy Link, according to the Palm Beach Post. He was wearing a mask as he approached a gaggle of reporters and took it off to make some brief comments....
Without being explicitly told this, I quickly picked up that my place, as a woman, was in the kitchen and at home with the babies. So, that became my dream: to meet a good Christian man and raise a good Christian family. Although I had always wanted to go to seminary and be a leader in the church, being a pastor wasn’t an option in the church I was part of, because women were not allowed to be pastors....
Only a few years earlier, I had been sure having or performing an abortion meant I would go to hell. My teen parents had been determined that I wouldn’t follow in their reproductive footsteps. They placed me in Catholic schools, taught me that sex before marriage had to be avoided at all costs, and encouraged me to become a doctor. To them, this was a profession that meant success and stability....
The previous day was June 24, 2002. I was 15, out of school for the summer and looking forward to spending the break with my best friend Heather and my boyfriend Chris. I had spent the night with Heather in her parents’ house in Lexington, South Carolina, and we had decided to go to our friend’s house on the lake for the day. We called our respective mothers to let them know the plan for the day and they told us to have a good time....
That’s the last thing I remember about August 4, 2022. Because while I was later fundraising for the International Rescue Committee in Lafayette Park, Washington D.C., I was struck by lightning. The doctors have told me that those hours before the accident are not going to come back. It’s really frustrating. I keep asking people who were there that day to fill in the blanks for me. It was apparently a humid, warm day, and then it suddenly clouded over....
Courtney Stodden was branded as the “teen bride” and ridiculed online for revealing outfits, heavy makeup, detested behavior, and large br*asts.

Following grooming during their marriage, the two finally divorced in March 2020, when Stodden was 26. What did Trisha Paytas say about Courtney Stodden? Paytas continues to be one of the most controversial YouTubers on the platform....
I first became aware of Donald Trump’s political ambitions in 2015. I was working an entry level job on Fox News’ digital team, but I didn’t feel it was a great fit for me. I had only been there a few months when I saw footage of him coming down the golden escalator at Trump Tower in New York City, having formally announced his bid for the presidency. Everyone around me was sort of laughing and joking about his candidacy....
An eventful second half at a rain-drenched Stadio Renzo Barbera saw Inter take the lead through Joao Mario, before Ansaldi was sent off for a sliding challenge on Ilija Nestorovski. Inter continue winning run Palermo’s Alessandro Gazzi was also dismissed after receiving a second yellow card in the last minute of the game, and Pioli questioned referee Massimiliano Irrati’s decisions in his post-match comments. “There were two players on the ground and the fourth official said that nothing had happened....
Depay has scored seven goals in 14 games for Lyon this season, helping Bruno Genesio’s side fight for a Champions League spot with the likes of Nantes and Marseille. St Etienne 3/1 to beat Lyon Les Gones are on a five-match winning run ahead of Sunday’s Rhone derby against Saint-Etienne, a match in which Depay came in for criticism after last season. He was given a paltry 2/10 in L’Equipe’s infamous player ratings and became a viral sensation for all the wrong reasons, playing a backheel pass to nobody and seeing an attempted bicycle kick shot fall flat....
WEYMOUTH: What do you expect to come out of the summit? BARAK: It should put an end to violence and make certain that it will not resume. Arafat must put back in prison the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists he recently released. He must stop Palestinian policemen and members of the Tanzim [a paramilitary force under Arafat’s control] from shooting at Israeli soldiers. He must also put an end to the incitement [practiced] by the Palestinian mass media....
Five years later, I’m in the cockpit of a Kfir jet—an Israeli version of the French Mirage 5—on a training sortie above the Negev desert, pulling up for the attack. Soaring high above the desert and then rolling on my back, leading the nose of the plane down towards the target. I was completely focused on achieving my best aim ,when I accidentally passed through the leader’s slipstream, diving less than a hundred feet ahead of me....

In case you didn’t know… This is not the first time Mirabelli has made claims that Milan were close to signing the Portuguese superstar, stating last year, “It was something we talked about with Jorge Mendes. We knew there could be problems with Real [and Ronaldo]. We did everything, but then the Chinese owners blocked the deal because it was not sustainable.” “With the current owners CR7 would have been a Milan player....
We were too young to date properly—we didn’t have a car or any money—but Dennis would bike up to my house, which was several miles away from his own, and we’d go up to the mountain behind my house. There was an oak tree there and Dennis carved our initials on it in a heart. We just grew together as teenagers. As we got a little older the relationship became more serious, and we married at the age of 18, in 1961....
I always wanted to meet my biological mother. In my mind, I thought I’d have a fairytale ending, whereby I would meet her, wrap my arms around her, and tell her how much I loved her. After leaving high school in 1992, I joined the United States military for eight years. I then became a medic and a firefighter. Looking back, I’ve always been working on the front lines trying to help and serve my country....
I studied marine biology in college, but after year one I realised it would take too long—I just wanted to get in the water and swim with sharks. I moved to Cape Town, South Africa aged 21 and volunteered as an unpaid research cameraman at the White Shark Trust. I was supposed to be there for three months and stayed for three years. The first time I swam with sharks outside the cage I remember it being extremely cold and murky, and that I was hyper-vigilant....
