In a tweet posted on Wednesday, the singer, 34, real name Claire Boucher, recalled her encounter with the late monarch when she was a teenager. “Once the queen was gna [sic] drive past my high school on a snow day, and all day the teachers threatened us no snowballs,” Grimes wrote. “As she drove past it was dead silent, all teachers high alert. And just as the procession was almost past, a single snowball arced from the crowd & hit her car....

“There was an earlier contact with the bear prior to the event,” Sheriff Gavin Roselles said. “The bear basically came back into the campsite. It wandered into a campsite a couple different times.” Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokesman Greg Lemon said that the attack occurred near Ovando, a town with fewer than 100 people, between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Tuesday. Lemon told Newsweek that details on the victim’s identity and sex were not yet available, but he believes the person was part of a group on a bike trip....

Appearing before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee Tuesday, CEOs for Kroger—the nation’s largest grocery store conglomerate—and Albertsons, the nation’s second-largest, sought to assure lawmakers their companies’ pending merger would result in no layoffs for frontline workers. They said a potential merger would lead to reduced prices and increased competition as they seek to maintain pace with larger retailers like Walmart. “Our merger is a win for customers, a win for associates and a win for American competition,” Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen told lawmakers....

Newlyweds Jonah and Maddy Waldron shared Sam’s best man speech to their joint TikTok page last week. The video, captured by Ross Kyker, has received over three million views and more than 400,000 comments. Both the bride and groom, as well as many commenters, shed tears in response to the sweet message Sam had for his brother and new sister-in-law. “Hello everyone, my name is Sam Waldron,” the speech began....

The time has long passed to be shocked by the ignorance that the press, many professional economists, and politicians show about the market for health insurance. After all, virtually all of them have their insurance paid for by a university, the government, or a Fortune 500 company. It never seems to have crossed the mind of President Bush, or Rudy Giuliani, or the Times reporters who uncritically noted his comments, how much insurance actually costs....

Of course, the strike matters to GM, its dealers and suppliers, and its workers. CNBC suggested the strike could cost GM $100 million per day, and that production in Canada and Mexico would be impacted by the weekend. But in the grand scheme of things, the latest installment of the UAW-GM battle has the makings of this fall’s football game between Army and Navy—a match between two ancient powers whose rivalry once dominated the headlines but who now play a largely symbolic role....

I started my career developing technology in the oil and gas arena for the purposes of distributing and licensing cutting-edge products. I was lucky enough to find partners to assist me and found tremendous success early in the game. But after three significant wins right out of college, I later had a hard time managing economic fluctuations and evolving markets and navigating debt capital markets to find a place of sustainability that wouldn’t hamper growth....

In July 2017, Michael Wenzel, Robert Lee Benac, and Spencer Heintz, made headlines after a video of them dragging a blacktip shark behind a speedboat went viral. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission launched an investigation into the video, and filed animal cruelty charges against the trio. In 2018, charges against Heintz were dropped. Wenzel was charged with two counts of aggravated cruelty to animals and one count of violating the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s rules....

James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen were former U.S. Air Force psychologists who designed the U.S. “enhanced interrogation” program on behalf of the CIA in 2002, and supervised its operation until 2009, the Guardian reported. From 2005 they did so via a private company, which supplied the interrogators and security staff used at so-called “black sites”—covert CIA facilities outside the U.S. where suspected terrorists were held, questioned and tortured. Between 2005 and 2009, Mitchell and Jessen’s company was paid some $81 million for the work....

The runaway Premier League leaders enter the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Basel 4-0 to the good and arguably as the continent’s form side. A 3-0 victory over Arsenal at Wembley nine days ago secured the Carabao Cup and, bolstered by a 16-point advantage over Manchester United at the summit of England’s top flight, there is a sense of intrigue around whether this swashbuckling City side can launch an effective tilt at Europe’s biggest prize....

Muller-Wohlfahrt was established as the orthopaedic surgeon of choice for a number of leading sporting stars, including sprinting great Usain Bolt, and had worked at Bayern for more than 35 years by the time Guardiola was appointed as head coach in 2013. The pair clashed frequently during Guardiola’s tenure, with the former Barcelona boss irritated by Muller-Wohlfahrt’s refusal to attend training sessions and reportedly clashing with the veteran physician over a number of issues, including treatment for the injury-plagued Thiago Alcantara....

Jose Mourinho’s side are 13 points behind Chelsea in the race to be crowned champions after an indifferent first half of the campaign. Zlatan: Pogba is phenomenal The Red Devils have picked up in recent weeks, however, and are currently on a nine-game unbeaten run in England’s top flight. Mourinho’s men will be expected to make it 10 when they host Middlesbrough on Saturday and Guardiola has not ruled them out of title picture....

Guardiola says he is enjoying his first season in English football and has praised his “amazing” employers for doing everything to support him. Guardiola hopes Kompany stays fit The Catalan also says he is “so glad” to have such an understanding set of home supporters, highlighting how accepting they were after City were eliminated from the Champions League and failed to win their next three Premier League matches. Guardiola also praised City’s away fans in another section of his press conference after the Southampton game on Saturday....

Why Guardiola congratulated his players after Chelsea defeat Chilean newspaper El Mercurio reported that Guardiola made personal contact with Alexis just hours after the striker had scored a hat-trick against West Ham. Guardiola worked with Alexis at Barcelona and remains a keen admirer, but he was unequivocal when asked about the report. “Absolutely false,” he stated. “The journalist is a liar.” Guardiola answered the question in Catalan and, after his response was translated into English, he left local reporters in no doubt by adding: “He’s a liar, guys....

The 31-year-old midfielder is into his eighth season at the Etihad Stadium, having signed from Valencia for £25 million in 2010. He has helped to land two Premier League titles, two League Cups and an FA Cup triumph during his time in England – taking in over 300 appearances, scoring 51 goals and providing countless assists. City are already in talks regarding a possible extension to his contract, and Guardiola is hoping to see the World Cup winner stick around for many years to come....

The Manchester City boss also pointed to his trophy haul when asked once again if he will move away from his possession-based, attacking style, but said if things are not going well in his second season he will “go home”. Guardiola has become used to fending off questions about his football philosophy since arriving in England, and especially now that City is in the midst of a run of four matches without a victory....

Aguero missed his second penalty in a week in City’s 1-1 draw against Everton on Saturday, following his failure from 12 yards for Argentina against Paraguay in World Cup qualifying. The former Atletico Madrid striker also missed two penalties in one match against Steaua Bucharest in a Champions League qualifier in August. But City boss Guardiola, who also saw Kevin De Bruyne fail from the spot against Everton, is trusting Aguero to make his own decision about who assumes penalty duties....

A landmark decision was announced on Friday and it’s one that will change Malaysian football moving forward. In August last year, Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) had an agreement with Football Malaysia Limited Liability Partnership (FMLLP) regarding “Feeder Club” that ties in with the continuous push to have full club licensing by the 2018 season. Using the rules under “Feeder Club”, JDT has acted quickly to replace Jeronimo Barrales with Gabriel Guerra from Johor Darul Ta’zim II (JDTII) with the former moving in the other direction....
