Disney won, and the resulting film, “Calendar Girls,” has been warming hearts and heating up box offices all over Britain since it opened in September. It earned [Pound sterling]1.8 million on its opening weekend alone, and is expected to be this year’s biggest British-filmed hit when it arrives in America in December.

Trump was impeached on one count of inciting insurrection following the riot at the Capitol last week—making him the first U.S. president to be impeached twice. One detail of the historic proceedings that caught many people’s eye was Pelosi’s black dress and necklace. Twitter users were quick to point out that she had worn this dress in Congress once before—during Trump’s first impeachment in December 2019. Some suggested that this was the Speaker’s “official impeachment outfit” while others praised her “pettiness....

As Trump closed the speech, saying “Thank you. God bless you. God bless America,” Pelosi, a Democratic congresswoman from California, stood up directly behind the president. She then straightened her copy of the speech by tapping it on the desk, brought it up to chest-level and tore it in half. She continued to do the same with more papers—presumably the second half of the 90-minute-long speech. When asked why she ripped up the speech, Pelosi replied, “Because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives,” according to a video posted by Fox News producer Jason Donner....

The 87-year-old has been hospitalized at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for more than a week, a family source told CNN. His three sons have been unable to visit him because of protocols in place at the hospital. King, who hosted Larry King Live on CNN for 25 years, has suffered from numerous medical issues over the years, including a number of heart attacks and a diabetes diagnosis....

Yes, it’s boring. It’s also highly effective for a player who has regained his confidence and swagger just in time to re-establish his team as one of the league’s best. Murray stopped 36 shots in a 5-1 victory over Florida on Tuesday night to improve to 8-0 since returning from a lower-body injury. Shaky and uncertain in October and November, the 24-year-old has responded with the arguably the best stretch of his career, heady territory considering he already has a pair of Stanley Cup rings....

Muscle Atrophy or Muscle Wasting Muscle atrophy is the loss or decrease of muscle mass. Synonyms include muscle wasting, muscle loss, muscle catabolism, and muscle withering. There are three main types of muscle atrophy: Physiologic atrophy occurs when muscles aren’t used enough, such as with prolonged illness. Pathologic atrophy is the type that occurs as a result of disease, cancer, severe infections, and malnutrition. Neurogenic atrophy is when there is a disruption of the nerve signals to the muscles....

Frequent Symptoms Progressive muscle weakness is common among all types of MD, but it’s important to look at each uniquely to understand exactly how this impacts an individual. There is some variation in the degree of muscle weakness, what muscles are affected, and the progression of the disease. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) The first signs of DMD may include: Weakness in the legs and pelvis The appearance of enlarged calf muscles Frequent fallingDifficulty getting up from a sitting or lying down; “walking” one’s hands up the legs to get to a standing position (the Gower maneuver)Problems climbing stairsA waddle-like walkStanding and walking with the chest and stomach stuck outDifficulty lifting the head; a weak neck...

The first trailer and screens for the PS3 iteration of the game have just been released. Perfectly capturing Studio Ghibli’s signature art style, Ni no Kuni’s debut trailer makes one thing abundantly clear: this is a beautiful game. You just have to see it for yourself. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEsJpRpn4Pg The gameplay on display seems to stick fairly closely to the action-RPG formula Level 5 has polished throughout its career, though there may be some interesting additions....

“I would like to try and finish in the top 100 again. At least try and make it to (main round of) some of the Grand Slams next year,” he told reporters on the eve of his match against ATP Challenger Bangalore Open against Sriram Balaji. Starting the year at 474, Yuki is currently ranked 122 having registered a win over Frenchman Gael Monfils and pushed Denis Shapovalov and Kevin Anderson to deciding sets in the Davis Cup and Citi Open respectively....

As I laid out in my previous article, this year’s Royal Rumble may be the most open Royal Rumble ever, with six new betting favourites in four months. However, for me, the biggest hints regarding the direction the WWE could be going in, may have been dropped this week. The first hint seemingly came when Shane McMahon announced that the Smackdown Elimination Chamber match would be a WWE Title match....

We recently moved across the country, away from many family members which could be part of the reason we weren’t invited, but we haven’t had an explanation. In spite of this, she’s still family and I sent her and her new husband a card and cheque for $100. I have still not received a thank you note, or any acknowledgment. I am really hurt at both not being invited to the wedding with no explanation, and that my gift has gone unrecognized and ignored....

As we bridge the gap between 2013 and 2014, here are thoughts on the National League West, as composed while listening to Fall Out Boy's album "Save Rock and Roll," clearly titled with the same thinking behind the idea that the Arizona Diamondbacks could have saved baseball by preventing the Los Angeles Dodgers from swimming in their pool. Speaking of the Diamondbacks, the first song on "Save Rock and Roll" is titled "The Phoenix," and the first few notes sound like they could be played over a highlight of Mark Trumbo blasting a ball into the left field bleachers....

Founded in 1880, the service, which employs 1,750 men and women (known as inspectors), is the law-enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service. Many of their cases involve mail theft, money laundering, illegal drug trafficking and child pornography. In 1958, they ensured that Harry Winston’s Hope Diamond, then valued at $1 million, arrived safely and soundly at its new home, the Smithsonian. (They shipped it via registered mail, at a cost of $145....

My brother Tim was diagnosed with autism as a young child in the ’60s, but as he grew up his symptoms seemed closer to Asperger’s disorder and severe OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), while he displayed the savant characteristics of autism. If Tim ate at a restaurant, a certain amount of time had to pass before he allowed himself to return. Before he could enter a room he would have to cross and recross the threshold....

Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ left foot got tangled as he was sacked in the middle of the second quarter and he limped off the field with a foot injury. He later returned to the game, but his left foot was heavily taped up. Meanwhile, Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack was ejected after he threw punches at Chiefs receiver Demarcus Robinson in the end zone. He had to be escorted off the field and resisted going to the locker room....

The creature was found “cold and shivering” by Christina Eyth near her home in Adams County. It was then taken in by local animal shelter Wildlife Works, however experts were unable to determine its species. They believe it must be either a dog or coyote. The shelter said it was “stunned and mortified” to learn of the animal’s dramatic escape about a week after the rescue. In a Facebook post on Thursday, which can be found here, the wildlife shelter said that they were “devastated” to find the animal gone....

Researchers led by Caltech’s Hannah Earnshaw noticed a green blob in observations returned by NuSTAR—a mission where one of the objectives is to study supernova. These stellar explosions produce so much light they can, at points, outshine galaxies. The satellite image, which shows the ‘Fireworks galaxy’ NGC 6946, normally shows supernova as green and blue spots, with one currently appearing in the top right of the image provided. This image, however, also showed something else....

Nearly three decades ago, veteran Nautile submersible pilot and Titanic diver PH Nargeolet observed a mysterious object showing up on sonar near the famed shipwreck, at a depth of 9,514 feet. Scientists believed it could be a geological feature or even another shipwreck. Years later, the diver has now explored the area, on an expedition conducted by OceanGate Expeditions, and found a volcanic formation teeming with life. Scientists found sponges, bamboo corals, cold water corals, squat lobsters and an abundance of fish surrounding the basalt volcanic formation....
