But watching Rayudu struggle against spin wasn’t a pleasant sight. He was playing at a strike rate of 50, and on the other hand we had the captain Virat Kohli who was scoring at almost a run a ball. Granted the pitch was assisting spinners, but playing defensively against Glenn Maxwell, someone who is not that great a turner, didn’t make much sense. After Rayudu’s painstaking innings came to a close, I was looking forward to seeing MS Dhoni come out and build an innings, and set up a challenging target....

A recent Bloomberg feature was a case in point, arguing that post-pandemic chaos coupled with new restrictive abortion policies in dozens of states have pushed women to the proverbial edge. Stressed with finances, overworked at home, underpaid at work, and unable to find or afford decent childcare, the author wondered when women would reach a breaking point. “For years now we’ve been telling ourselves, if we can just get hired, if we can just get paid fairly, if we just lean in—and then, through the pandemic, if we can just hold on until schools reopen, or vaccines become available, or this week’s crisis has passed, things will be better,” writes Claire Suddath at Bloomberg....

Despite their reputation as self-sufficient and sometimes stubborn animals, cats can obey quite complex commands and some appear to relish the stimulation that training provides. You do have to make allowances for their independent nature, though. “Training a cat is a little bit more difficult than training a dog, as humans are a little less important to them,” cat behavior expert Celia Haddon told Newsweek. “They have tested out cat training in cat shelters and found that the cats really enjoy it....

They have been left disappointed. Unfortunately, Nike squashed that hope with an announcement that has left many Les Rouges fans unhappy with their national team and the kit maker.

Academics still prefer to teach that version of history, which holds FDR’s New Deal interventions to have been a success, saving America so that America could save the world in the fight against global fascism. It’s a nice, neat formulation, but it isn’t true. The Roosevelt administration’s marketplace interventions prolonged the depression rather than ending it. Amity Shlaes, in her book The Forgotten Man, argues that America’s rebirth occurred principally because the machinery of U....

The lungs are responsible for bringing oxygen into the body and moving carbon dioxide out. Oxygen is needed for the body’s cells to produce energy. As a result of that energy-producing process, carbon dioxide is made, which can be toxic and needs to be removed from the body. When you take a deep breath, the large muscle under the lungs, called the diaphragm, contracts to allow the lungs to expand and fill with air....
