Strangely, all this is happening in a gym-Crunch Fitness in downtown Manhattan–and these people are actually working out. Not in the old way. Nobody’s shouting, “No pecs, no sex!” or “Feel the burn!” Devotees of Crunch’s holistic “Cyked” classes are way beyond basic cardio training. It’s just one of Crunch’s many “noncompetitive” and “non-judgmental” programs-ideal for recovering workoutaholics. Kristen Carlberg, a 30-year-old graphic designer, is a convert: “It’s church, but a different kind of church....

Now the other elephant in the room is on watch. So, Texas, you’re on the clock. The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) stated Monday it plans on resuming all sports late this year or early in 2021. “It is anticipated that most Section start dates will commence in December 2020 or January 2021,” the federation stated. Meanwhile in the Southeast, the Florida High School Athletic Association said everything will go as planned this fall....

The 13 students from Islesboro Central School had initially planned a trip to Greece or South Korea, like senior classes before them. But the idea of spending money on an overseas trip was “weird and definitely wrong,” according to one graduate, Liefe Temple. The seniors raised nearly $8,000 through fundraising efforts from working at concession stands, holding harvest and winter festivals and hosting community suppers before pandemic lockdowns prevented further fundraising....

The referee gave Lillard a technical foul for hanging on the rim, which gave Defiance two shots, the ball and, ultimately, a 49-45 win after taking the game into overtime. MORE: Kentucky gets rockstar treatment | Calipari’s comments cause uproar | Must-see tourney photos The rule book states a player can hang on the rim to protect himself from injury or if there are players underneath the hoop, but Denny Morris, the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s Basketball Director of Official Development said in a statement, “There were not any players underneath [Lillard], and he pulled himself up and swung excessively....

Kelsey Riley Dixon revealed her then-boyfriend, Wes Dixon, now 31, gifted her a tree after they’d been going out for a year. The couple, originally from Pennsylvania, planted it in Kelsey’s mom’s backyard, and began a tradition of taking a photo in front of it every single year. Some 15 years later the tree now dwarfs them, originally coming up to their shoulders when they first planted it. The pair, who are now married and live in Seattle, collated all the snaps and shared a clip to TikTok on Monday, which has since been viewed more than a million times....

Cameron Johnson, a 6-8 guard who was the team’s third-leading scorer at 11.9 points per game last season, announced in April his decision to transfer from the university. He has since become one of the most sought-after transfers on the market due to both his offensive production and his rare status as a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility remaining, meaning he could play immediately next season, as well as the season after that....

When I took acid in the ’60s, I wanted to open up and explore life. In the ’70s I took alcohol to close down and shut out the “noise.” The former experience was a kind of reaching up. The latter was a downward spiral. Both experiences taught me worthwhile lessons–lessons that proved valuable when my daughter, China, was growing up and finding her way. In 1965 I was a new singer, a new adult and a member of a generation trying to develop new ethics....

‘New Dybala deal announced soon’ Inter have climbed to fourth place in the table after embarking on a seven-game winning run and Gianluigi Buffon claimed at the weekend they are better than Real Madrid and Barcelona on current form. Higuain has acknowledged Inter are a force to be reckoned with at the moment, but is nonetheless hopeful Juventus can move further clear of their rivals on Sunday. The reigning champions hold a nine-point lead over Inter heading into Sunday’s encounter, while they have a game in hand....

In the video, Nuala Mckeever, @nualamckeever_, can be seen surprising each of her family members in turn, filming their emotional reactions. At one point she greets her father, who acts with considerable surprise, “Dad just couldn’t stop crying, no words” she says, while her mother can be heard saying, “Oh my God, oh my God my child!”. Australia only ended its mandatory COVID isolation requirements on October 14, 2022, as it ended the “emergency phase” of its response to the virus....

Mourinho’s transformed Man Utd must not repeat Alamo act The France forward joined Laurent Koscielny and Francis Coquelin in committing his long-term future to the Gunners after impressing for them of late.

This article will highlight facts and statistics that can offer you a deeper understanding of glaucoma. What Is Glaucoma?

Beck, who has a reputation for hyperbole and a history of peddling conspiracy theories, flagged the Fed’s repo market activity this week in which the central bank lent billions of dollars to major institutions to keep them liquid overnight. Ordinarily, banks lend this cash to each other. It works by a bank offering up high-quality assets as security on a loan, which is typically then repaid the next day. The purpose is to ensure that banks have enough cash on hand to fund their operations each day....

The nation’s favorite flower, sakura, has previously reached its peak bloom in April but officials with the Japan Meteorological Agency are forecasting that peak bloom will be reached by the end of March. “We can say it’s most likely because of the impact of the global warming,” Shunji Anbe, an official at the observations division at the agency told the Associated Press. According to a cherry blossom forecast from the agency released on March 25, the forecast flowering date for the cherry blossom is ahead of the flowering date in an average year, across 14 different areas in Japan....

It was an odd remark coming from a man appointed by the president of the United States. And yet it contained a remarkable truth. For more than two decades, a bipartisan collection of politicians, academics, business leaders and policy “experts”—call them the “Uniparty”—devoted much of its energy to fighting for, and later defending, an unquestioning commitment to the free flow of people, goods and capital around the world. So closely synced were the bipartisan coconspirators that their arguments and talking points were virtually indistinguishable....

Of course, the publishing industry has long performed what amounts to a miracle of market renewal, making the Good Book a perennial hit through endless repackaging and niche selling. Among the most memorable recent creations is the “Drink Deeply Bible,” which comes with a canteen for the spiritually and physically parched (or for folks who like their metaphors literal). The Bible Society in Australia has converted Scripture into audio files, e-mails and text-message bursts, as in: “In da Bginnin God cre8d da heavens & da earth....
