The British socialite was found guilty of grooming girls for former lover Jeffrey Epstein to abuse after a month-long trial. The jury returned guilty verdicts on five out of six charges, including that she sex trafficked a minor. After the verdict, claims began to appear about the court’s processes in relation to evidence about Epstein’s network of powerful friends. Right-wing commentator and conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec posted on Twitter suggesting documents had been sealed....

The hypothetical plan—which researchers stress is not a proposal—would prevent sea levels from rising by over three meters, an event that would place many U.S. cities, including Miami and New York, underwater. Published in the journal Science Advances, researchers from the U.S. and Germany assessed whether artificial snowfall could save the West Antarctic Ice Sheet—an area containing about 3.2 million cubic kilometers of ice. While far smaller than the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, scientists are far more concerned about it because of how unstable it is....

Alan Pardew’s side, fresh from dumping the Merseysiders out of the FA Cup, reached an agreement with the club for the England international. They will assume his salary of £120,000 in its entirety, as well as pay a fee of around £2 million for the temporary arrangement with a medical expected to happen late Monday afternoon. Inter had struck a similar deal with Liverpool, only for Sturridge to stall on the switch as he hoped Sevilla would follow up their enquiry for him with a solid offer....

Chelsea dominated the first half, limiting the hosts to just the odd counter-attack and set-piece. The Blues took a deserved lead as half-time approached when Werner coolly slotted home in the 43rd minute. Thomas Tuchel’s men then demonstrated their recently-acquired defensive resilience in the second half, seeing off a spirited West Ham charge. But their job was made easier after the hosts were reduced to ten men late on when Fabian Balbuena was sent off for going in rashly on Ben Chilwell....

West Virginia entered halftime with a slim six-point lead, but when it was all said and done on Saturday, the Mountaineers opened their season with a convincing 40-14 win over the Volunteers, Grier completing 25 of 34 passes for 429 yards and five touchdowns, adding legitimacy to an early Heisman candidate.

The planned “Showdown at the Hoedown” turned into a street party last night. The only wild behavior happened in front of the Gap clothing store, where some 20 activists stripped to draw attention to what they claimed were that company’s unfair labor practices. They certainly drew the attention of hundreds of onlookers, who later complained they had to wait through speeches and singalongs to get to the actual stripping....

Bush’s eyes will often well up. Sometimes with tears of pride, like when he talks about the life story of Al Gonzales, his White House counsel and an immigrant’s son. The president is tremendously sentimental. Forget about putting his parents anywhere near him. At his inauguration he purposely kept them out of his line of sight so he could stay as dry-eyed as possible. He has learned not to brush the tears away....

There is nothing Bush hates more than a prevaricator–though he doesn’t use that word. The first time he met Tom Daschle, Bush told the Democratic senator: “I hope you’ll never lie to me.” It struck Daschle as a bit jarring, a bit naive even. But Bush holds everyone, even despots, to that standard. Nor does he forgive easily. He never liked Yasir Arafat, and when the Palestinian leader denied, in a letter to Bush, that an Iranian arms cache found aboard a ship was intended for Palestinian fighters–despite intelligence reports to the contrary–Bush wrote Arafat off....

Western finished third in the regular season last term but won the A-League Men grand final to become champions for the first time. They are hoping to build on that success by retaining the title but have not had an easy ride so far. The Melbourne-based side sit in 11th place out of 12 teams after 12 games. They have won three league games, drawn three, and lost six, which leaves them with 12 points out of a possible 33 on offer....

While it was initially thought McKennie would be out two months and have a chance to return, Juve manager Massimilano Allegri confirmed that McKennie will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a fracture to his second and third metatarsal bones of his left foot. McKennie was injured in the first leg of Juventus’s Champions League Round of 16 match against Villarreal, withdrawn late after a hard tackle by Villarreal’s Pervis Estupinan which appeared to catch the midfielder’s left foot and twist it in an awkward manner....

Bloomberg was first to report Meadows’ positive diagnosis, which was confirmed by the Associated Press. It’s unclear when he tested positive, but Meadows attended a party at the White House on Election Night on Tuesday. His own positive diagnosis comes a month after President Donald Trump tested positive. White House officials are tested on a regular basis and it’s also unclear when Meadows became infected or if he’s experiencing symptoms....

Along with new maps, weapons, and limited-time game modes, Apex Legends brings a brand-new playable character to the game every Season. Each of these characters has its own unique set of abilities, creating new dynamics and possible combinations with the already-released Legends. While Respawn Entertainment tries to keep its upcoming Seasons under wraps until just a few weeks before release, a gigantic leak from 2022 may have interrupted the developer’s plans a little, with it revealing a slew of new characters....

For most, it’s somewhere in the middle, but it begs the question: at what age should your kids get a smartphone? What Age Should You Give Your Kids a Smartphone? Unsurprisingly, there is no set age that parents agree upon when it comes to giving a child their first smartphone. There isn’t much clear information from the tech industry either, though there are plenty of studies, opinions, and insights from tech leaders, educators, government offices, and much more....

Both adolescence and grief and trauma are concepts that, given their complexity and the feelings they can engender, can be difficult to explore in a writing headspace. But in the anime and manga she writes, and even at times directs, Okada is someone who can strike that balance between how difficult growing up can be in almost any society, from the weight of expectations to having to learn to handle more complex, possibly even daunting emotions, to this freeing sense of new possibilities for the future opening up if the one growing up is brave enough to seize them....

Eli Lilly said data collected from an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial provided a proof of concept that giving LY-CoV555 to COVID-19 outpatients with a mild-to-moderate form of the disease also appeared to make them less likely to need hospital treatment, and cleared the virus faster. The interim findings of the ongoing trial were not published in a scientific journal, meaning they have not been through the rigorous peer review process....
