The photos of Styles dressed as the red-headed mermaid from a photoshoot the “Watermelon Sugar” singer did for Saturday Night Live in 2019 emerged this week and were quickly shared widely across social media. In the viral photos, Styles is seen wearing a long red wig, a white shell bra, and a long, green mermaid’s tail—but that’s where the similarity to the Disney princess ends. Styles accessorized his take on The Little Mermaid with a champagne flute and a cigarette....

The two colleges filed the lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency in District Court in Boston on Wednesday morning, a Harvard spokesperson told Newsweek. The lawsuit, which was first reported on by The Harvard Crimson, seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief preventing the government from enforcing its new policy, which was announced on July 6....

If Ryan Newman had won (and probably if Denny Hamlin had won), there would have been squawks — justifiably so — that a driver who didn’t have a great season won the title. There was no such talk Monday. Just talk about what a great race it was as all the contenders ran 1-2-3-4 at one point and all had a chance, at least before Joey Logano’s car fell off the jack with 17 laps to go....

Nobody, however, should be popping the champagne just yet. The global oil market is prone to fluctuation and can puncture optimistic projections in a matter of days. In fact, there’s a better-than-even chance the West will again feel the pinch toward the end of this year—and ironically, the higher gas prices will have come courtesy of Washington’s closest allies in Europe. On May 31, weeks of intense negotiations culminated in a European Union import ban on seaborne Russian crude over the next six months....

During the May 18 AMA, Minhaj talked to fans about a number of topics, including working with Jon Stewart and what it’s like interviewing influential leaders, such as Justin Trudeau. He also answered questions about food preferences and which topics he’s been pressured to stay away from on his show. Below is a rundown of some of the most interesting things we learned from Minhaj’s Reddit AMA. The Peabody Award winner detailed the way he prepares for each episode of Patriot Act, and how long it can take....

A really good hat can be pricey, though, and of course, you’ll want at least several to get you through until your hair grows back in. Here are some ways to build up your headwear wardrobe without breaking the bank. 

That summer I changed course, but not because of winter sailing. I’d heard that Mobil would soon go from three ships to none on the West Coast, so I quit to sail full time with the Sailors’ Union Of The Pacific. The loss of the Mobil tankers is continuing evidence of the decline of our maritime industry. The size of the U.S. active fleet of merchant ships has sunk to 365 vessels in the last 10 years....

But if wholesome nights sipping pumpkin spice lattes are not to your taste, you may instead be excited that spooky season is looming ever closer. And where better to get in touch with your Halloween-loving dark side than an Ohio cave, which plays host to longest walk-through horror house in the world. The Lewisburg Haunted Cave, located just 30 miles west of Dayton, is the award-winning home of both ghouls and terrors, as well as an astounding 30,000 live bats....

At the weekend Sebastian was still jailed, but Gustavo was released. He is among the few dissidents who have not been jailed. Recently the government charged leaders of the tiny social-democratic Harmony Movement with attempting to recruit within the Army and Interior Ministry. True or not, the charge itself, coupled with the threadbare attempt" to equate the Arcoses with Miami insurrectionists, was revealing. So was the Jan. 3 defection of 34 Cubans to the United States in a hijacked government helicopter, which could never have gone undetected if Castro’s internal-security network were functioning with its usual brutal efficiency....

The snakes, which are among the largest in the world, were introduced to Florida in the 1970s and 1980s when thousands of specimens were imported to be sold as exotic pets. Some of these snakes were released into the wild, either intentionally or accidentally, and eventually began to breed, establishing a population in the state. They now pose a significant threat to native wildlife given that they prey upon many bird and mammal species, including some that are listed under the U....

A few days ago, Molly brought the turtle box on board a kettuvallam, a converted traditional river cargo boat, in which we cruised through Kerala’s emerald-green backwater canals. The boat vaguely resembled a 65-ft giant Lunar moth, with woven rattan wings jutting out from its canoe-shaped black-hulled body. As we began the overnight cruise, we lounged on a sumptuous daybed near the bow. A 25 hp motor put-putted us through narrow palm-fringed waterways, past shores where whole villages were conducting their evening ablutions and preparing dinners....

The mandate could potentially affect up to 100 million Americans. Employers with more than 100 employees must ensure their workers are vaccinated or tested weekly, while federal contractors must be vaccinated. The move reflects measures employed in California and New York. The U.S. is no stranger to protecting the health of Americans through mandatory vaccination. In 1901, the target of vaccination wasn’t COVID but smallpox. The highly contagious virus, estimated to have killed 300 million people in the 20th century, caused fevers and a severe rash on the arms and face that often left survivors scarred for life....

We don’t have to like Harrelson for being a curmudgeon, but we should at least respect that he has the right to do so. MORE: White Sox broadcast rankings Well, that is until he uses racially insensitive words to describe Asian players, and that’s exactly what he did this week during the White Sox’s series against the Red Sox. First, from Wednesday: Harrelson actually corrected himself from “Asian” to “Oriental....

The Belgium international made his first appearance since suffering a broken ankle in June in the Premier League win away to Leicester City on September 9. Hazard 9/2 to score first v Stoke He also came off the bench in Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge and Conte feels the time is right to give the 26-year-old a full 90 minutes. “I think, for Eden, now is the right moment to start the game and try to play the whole game,” he told a news conference....

HCG helps maintain high levels of progesterone, which is critical for the success of the pregnancy. It is also the hormone detected by urine and blood pregnancy tests. This article explains how hCG injections are used in fertility treatments. It also covers how and when to take hCG. Fertility Treatments With hCG Because hCG is similar in structure to luteinizing hormone (LH), when there is a mature egg follicle in the ovary an injection of hCG can cause the egg to mature and be released....

That said, “Semi-Pro” is nowhere near as funny as “Talladega Nights,” nor as perceptive as the underrated “Kicking & Screaming,” and though better made (by first-time director Kent Alterman) than the sloppy “Blades of Glory,” it never reaches that movie’s comic highs (or, mercifully, hits its lows). Scott Armstrong’s script gets surprisingly little juice out of the motley teammates, who include a clueless Lithuanian and a subdued Woody Harrelson as an over-the-hill former player traded to the Tropics for a washing machine....

Man Utd to set new PL low Ronaldo scored a brace as Madrid claimed a 4-1 win at Celta Vigo on Wednesday, moving them three points clear at the top of the table.
