The charming player portraits were produced by year four pupils from Linacre Primary School in nearby Bootle, who were invited to visit Everton’s Finch Farm training ground. Rather than the usual club photographs of Everton’s starting XI, it was the children’s art that featured on the stadium screens at Goodison Park and in the announcement of the line-up on social media. Everton said the drawings were the result of a collaboration with club partner USM’s Unlock The Potential campaign, in conjunction with Everton in the Community’s Tackling The Blues programme, which focuses on achieving good mental and physical health among its targets....

The main arteries that bring blood to the brain are the carotid and vertebral arteries. Any problem with blood flow in these arteries can cause a stroke. A relatively uncommon type of defect of the arteries, called an arterial dissection, can cause a stroke. What Is Arterial Dissection? Arterial dissection refers to the abnormal, and usually abrupt, formation of a tear along the inside wall of an artery. As the tear becomes larger, it forms a small pouch, which doctors call a “false lumen....

Reasons to Perform Arthroscopic Elbow Surgery Not all causes of elbow pain can be effectively treated with an arthroscopic procedure. Some of the reasons to perform an arthroscopic elbow surgery, or elbow arthroscopy, include: Removing Loose Debris The elbow joint can collect loose debris or cartilage as a result of arthritis or injury. These loose bodies within the joint can cause pain and limited motion. Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive way to remove this problem debris....

When the Pokemon anime began, it had a very simple premise: preteen protagonist Ash Ketchum has just received his first Pokemon, a bad-tempered Pikachu, and set out to explore the world of Pokemon. As the show continued, Ash caught a wide variety of Pokemon, traveled across the land, and made a lot of friends. Every few seasons, Ash would say goodbye to his Pokemon and most of his companions to move to a new region that had just been revealed in the Pokemon games....

The early months of any year are usually lean, but this was extraordinary. Last year, for example, both “Erin Brockovitch” and “Wonder Boys” came out by springtime. This year-zip. It’s probably a good thing Hollywood was preoccupied by the looming (now averted) writer’s strike; otherwise they might have had to face the fact that the industry seems in the grip of a creative crisis. I’m not saying there haven’t been good movies this year, but the only ones I could wholeheartedly recommend are either foreign films or American independents such as “Memento” and “Series 7” and the entertaining if slightly clumsy “Bridget Jones’s Diary....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s pre-recorded tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey will air on CBS between 8 p.m. ET and 10 p.m. ET on Sunday, before being broadcast the following day on British broadcaster ITV at 9 p.m. on Monday (5 p.m. ET). However, in what could appear to critics as a pre-emptive attempt to divert the attention away from the couple, senior members of the Royal Family will seize British airwaves themselves in a special broadcast to mark the annual Commonwealth Day—a celebration of the association of 54 member states once part of the British Empire....

On October 13, three days before the Chinese Communist Party’s twice-a-decade national congress, images of a single man demonstrating against Xi’s right to rule began circulating on Twitter. The lone protester—still unidentified—hung banners from an overpass in Beijing’s Haidian district to denounce China’s leader. “Food, not COVID tests. Reform, not Cultural Revolution. Freedom, not lockdown. Votes, not a leader. Dignity, not lies. Citizens, not slaves,” one read, with the same slogans chanted by a megaphone....

With that in mind, the team made certain concessions — he would sit the second half of back-to-back games, he would miss practices and he would forego shoot-arounds. MORE: Source: LeBron ‘very likely’ to stay | Riley: Heat need to retool, not rebuild | Spurs victory parade Regardless of these preparations, Miami’s worst fear with Wade became a reality. His age and bad knees caught up to him, and the Wade we’ve come to know was reduced to little more than a complementary player — even if he was complementing the best player in the world....

First is the idea Foles, 30, is capable of producing desired results as a full-time starting QB outside of Philadelphia and worthy of the money typically paid to such a player. Though a small handful of teams remain desperate for an answer to the sport’s toughest positional riddle, there is little evidence to suggest the passing phenomenon that has become known as “Foles magic” would apply elsewhere. The other is the value of a backup QB in the NFL....

Newsweek spoke with officials, experts and activists who acknowledged the potential for this new phase of instability persisting throughout Iran. In fact, this phase was already announced by semi-official outlets such as Fars News Agency, which declared in a November 17 analysis that so-called separatists were seeking to incite a civil war through attacks on security personnel. And in a rare acknowledgement of a growing death toll, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace General Amir Ali Hajizadeh stated Monday that up to 300 people have been killed since unrest began in September, though even he acknowledged there was no clear information as to the true count....

“Our priority is to take care of the needs of our constituents, but for us to act as swiftly and forcefully as we are going to need to do, we have to be able to convene,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) told Newsweek. “Considering that colleagues of ours are testing positive or are under self-quarantine, I want us to still be nimble and able to help.” A deserted Capitol Hill isn’t that far-fetched....

On Tuesday, 27-year-old Indira Sheumaker defeated two-term incumbent Bill Gray in Ward 1 with 46 percent of the vote in this year’s election. She will be the only person of color on the city council and the only member under 30. Sheumaker, a first-time candidate who describes herself as a “working-class member of her community,” became involved in politics after the death of George Floyd last year, when she helped organize racial justice rallies in Des Moines....

The radio ads launched by Stephen Miller, former senior adviser to President Donald Trump, were obtained by Politico and have reportedly aired in the Georgia markets of Augusta, Savannah, Albany, Columbus and Macon as high-profile gubernatorial and Senate races hit the final stretch. They were circulated by the group America First Legal, which counts Miller as its president and includes former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker on its board of directors....

On the other hand, The Blades will come into this game after beating West Ham United at Bramall Lane by a margin of 1-0. They are currently in the sixth position in the League table with 32 points from 22 matches so far. The manager of Sheffield United, Chris Wilder will also try to log all three points from this encounter to stay at the top six in the Premier League....

Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna is on the verge of signing a new three year contract, worth £80,000 a week, according to ITV Sport. Appearing alongside the headline ‘Gunner Forever’ in France Football magazine, the right-back, whose current deal is set to expire in the summer, looks set to commit his future to the Gunners despite having been linked with a move to both Manchester City and his native Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks....

As human rights advocates working in a number of countries, including the U.S., we have seen how policies that reduce regulation of dangerous industries can increase health and safety risks for workers and communities, while offering them little in return. This is as true in the U.S. as it would be anywhere; in fact, in one recent study In the coalfields of Appalachia, we examined how deregulation left communities exposed to the health risks of coal mining pollution....

The Barcelona player was caught by a poor challenge from Honduras winger Romell Quioto, who was sent off, during Brazil’s 7-0 friendly victory. Although Arthur was treated before being substituted, concerns about the state of his affected knee were soon allayed by coach Tite. He said to reporters: “Arthur is fine. I spoke to him. He told me it was just a knock. And I saw in his face that he is well....

Experts behind Google’s AutoML suite of artificial intelligence tools have now showcased fresh research which suggests the existing software could potentially be updated to “automatically discover” completely unknown algorithms while also reducing human bias during the data input process. According to ScienceMag, the software, known as AutoML-Zero, resembles the process of evolution, with code improving every generation with little human interaction. Machine learning tools are “trained” to find patterns in vast amounts of data while automating such processes and constantly being refined based on past experience....

Herzog, who’d been spotted earlier in the day on a historic Charlottesville street (and he was easy to spot-he was the only guy all in black including a leather jacket), said he didn’t have a clue what his connection was to our third president. Jefferson’s buildings aren’t analyzed in Swiss architecture schools. Of course, Herzog hastened to say, he was honored by any comparison. The Pritzker Prize, often called architecture’s Nobel, was started in 1979 by Chicago’s Pritzker family, who run the Hyatt hotel chain....
