The trio’s story in 2017 was that homeless veteran Johnny Bobbitt Jr. gave D’Amico’s then-girlfriend Katelyn McClure his last $20 to pay for gas and McClure and D’Amico wanted to return the favor by creating a GoFundMe to help Bobbitt get an apartment and cover other expenses like getting his own car. The online fundraising campaign went viral on social media and raised over $400,000. However, authorities began to investigate the couple after Bobbitt filed a lawsuit, alleging that he never received any of the money....

Dirk Parker, an Ohio native who is in Texas for work, told Newsweek he was out on a nature walk when he spotted the pink grasshopper. This unusual coloring may occur due to a condition called erythrism. “When I first saw it, I thought it was neat,” he said.

Sundowns had a point to prove as they hosted Spanish giants Barcelona at a packed FNB Stadium. The clash which was used to celebrate the 100th birthday of the fallen former state president Nelson Mandela promised fireworks as both sides were champions in their respective leagues. As expected Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane fielded his strongest starting XI with Ricardo Nascimento his only real absentee due to flu. On the side of Barcelona though, coach Ernesto Valverde was looking to utilise the game as preparation for their final LaLiga encounter, but opted for the attacking threat of Andres Iniesta and Suarez upfront....

Brenda and Damon Van Dam hugged and wept as the San Diego Superior Court clerk read the verdict last Wednesday, but the neighbor found guilty of kidnapping and murdering their 7-year-old daughter, Danielle, remained steely and expressionless, even in the face of a possible death sentence. As the jury heads back to court this Wednesday to determine punishment for David Westerfield–life imprisonment or death–the fate of the 50-year-old design engineer may well hinge on his defense team’s ability to show the emotion behind the glacial visage....

Guardiola can be thankful City will go into the match at the Etihad Stadium only five points behind leaders Liverpool. It could well have been worse after a lethargic display brought a surprising 2-1 defeat at relegation-threatened Newcastle on Tuesday, but Jurgen Klopp’s side struggled to take advantage as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Leicester the following night. City could argue Tuesday’s defeat was a blip, given they had won their previous eight matches, but three of those victories were in cup games against lower-division opposition....

Ahead of Guardiola’s seventh season at the helm, here’s what we know about City’s league schedule in full....

During his stints in charge of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and City, Guardiola has become synonymous with dominance of the ball. Yet his side’s 2-1 win against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium, secured by goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez after N’Golo Kante had given the visitors the lead, was notable for City managing a possesion figure of just 46.74 per cent, according to official Opta data. That represents the lowest figure any Guardiola side has registered in 381 top-flight games....

Pep Guardiola’s Premier League champions will wear the smart new kit for the first time in their clash with Brighton in their final home game of the campaign. City have been in incredible form this season, and could still crack 100 points, if they win their final two matches of the campaign against the Seagulls and Southampton. The kit features City’s iconic blue colour, and also has speed blur stripes along the arms and shoulders, along with a button detail on the collar....

However, doctors could not determine whether the nerve issues, known as Bell’s palsy, were caused by the vaccine doses. And one medical statistician not involved in the case study has highlighted the possibility that both of the nerve episodes could have been a coincidence.

The authors wrote that nerve paralysis, or palsies, on one side of the face after each COVID vaccine dose were neither reported in any of the three vaccine trials, nor medical literature....
