The National Weather Service (NWS), has issued excessive heat warnings for parts of Texas and Arizona. In the warnings, it explains how the “extreme heat and humidity will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities.” Monday, July 11, Weather Forecast Texas Fort Worth area - Temperatures are expected to reach 107 degrees, the excessive heat warning is in place until Tuesday, July 12 at 9 p....

Our strategy this week was simple. We wanted to craft a balanced lineup without overpaying too much at any position. That’s why none of our players are above the $7,300 price range. Additionally, we wanted to exploit some of the better matchups on the slate. To do that, we look at which teams were weak against RBs, WRs, and TEs last year and targeted them where it made sense. Oh yeah, and we also went with a low-cost QB-WR stack that should pan out nicely....

Generally, we were looking for players that will get a high volume of carries or targets in Week 1. We weren’t trying to take any major chances on boom-or-bust playmakers, as we were looking for steady production. The only place where we really underspent was at defense, and that was only because we like the Giants potential to outplay their price range. Here’s a look at our first Yahoo lineup of the season for a cash game format....

This week’s list of seven top-25 matchups is headlined by No. 8 Oklahoma at No. 11 Oklahoma in a Bedlam showdown that will likely determine the winner of the Big 12. In other action, No. 1 Alabama faces its first ranked opponent since its season-opening game against Florida State, No. 19 LSU.

Six-time Masters winner Jack Nicklaus proved he still can compete when he sunk a hole-in-one during Wednesday’s the Par-3 Contest. Nicklaus, 75, hit the ball perfectly on the green and got a friendly roll to complete the impressive feat.

Vintage footage of Michael Jordan giving it to some poor guys in a 1986 pickup game at UNC has been around since it was first included in his “Come Fly With Me” VHS special way back in the day. However, Team Flight Brothers recently brought it out of the archives on its YouTube account and CBS Sports’ Ananth Pandian reminded us of all its significance. After breaking a bone in his foot during the third game of the 1985-86 season, Jordan’s second in the NBA, he missed most of the regular season....

The league did their best to keep Scott from making it to Nashville, but they should be thrilled that he refused to turn down his spot. If he didn’t go, then we wouldn’t have precious moments like this play fight between Scott and Patrick Kane. This is the best (and least aggressive) hockey fight you’ll see all year.

The balls were found at Esch Road Beach in Benzie County, with some were reported to be up to 36 inches—or three feet—wide. A local, Hal Sorstokke, posted pictures and videos of the balls to Facebook on January 24. In the post, which can be found here, Sorstokke said that “thousands” of them were between 8 to 12 inches, with some much larger. The footage shows many giant, pearl-like ice balls bobbing about on the icy shoreline....

The Coalition for Good Governance, an elections integrity group, filed a court document Friday alleging a major technical issue ahead of the November election, WXIA-TV reported. The group learned of the issue after it received a message from the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office to counties. The court document includes a screenshot of the message sent by the Secretary of State’s Elections Division Director, Chris Harvey. Harvey’s message describes an “error in the November database which will require every county to get a new database,” according to WXIA-TV....

According to The Sun, twelve clubs are interested in signing Phil Jones in January. Derby County manager and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is keen to sign his former teammate Phil Jones. It might help Derby in their fight against relegation from the Championship this season. Manchester United signed Phil Jones from Blackburn Rovers, in a deal worth £16.5 million in January. The defender was expected to be a long-term replacement for Nemanja Vidic due to his physical attributes, speed, and defensive capabilities....

New York - India’s tennis star Leander Paes said that he and his Czech partner brought their ‘A’ game against the Bryan brothers in the US Open men’s doubles final Friday night but it still wasn’t enough. Paes and Stepanek, seeded fifth, went down 3-6 4-6 to the second seeded American twins Mike and Bob in the title clash. It was sweet revenge by the Bryan brothers for their loss to Paes-Stepanek in the finals of the Australian Open earlier this year....

Some are from people seeking to make a profit out of a bad situation. Others are moved to help address the most startling refugee crisis Europe has faced in more than half a century. And some, inevitably, are there for more nefarious purposes: human traffickers seeking to take advantage of women and children in their most vulnerable moment. Every crisis is gendered, in the sense that our sexed bodies and gender identities shape the way that people living in conflict and disaster zones experience them....

Hurricane Katrina had made landfall in the state four days early, only a Category 3 but ultimately considered to be the worst storm in American history. That was especially so for its impact in the city of New Orleans, where a combination of decision errors in not ordering a mandatory evacuation; and engineering failures, where the flood protection system collapsed, ultimately took the lives of over 1,500 people and left tens of thousands homeless....

Using eight surveys of academic and graduate student opinion, we examined the willingness of faculty to cancel controversial academics and to discriminate against political minorities. We also looked at the level of fear among dissenting scholars. And what we found was worrying. While it’s normal for those holding minority views to feel a bit uncomfortable, my study found that younger scholars are far more likely to support an intolerant “cancel culture” that is driving self-censorship and limiting viewpoint diversity in universities....

There are a few notable examples of modern retellings of Greek mythology that cater to younger generations. In video games, there is, of course, the God of War franchise and the story of Kratos, who tragically kills his own family and Ares, taking over his role as the god of war. For folks who like to read, the ongoing Webtoon series Lore Olympus blends modernism with the mythical settings of Olympus, the Underworld, and the ancient mortal realm....

Singer Thom Yorke has a gorgeous, yearning voice, but instead of drawing you close, he often uses it to freeze you out. He’s always written casually vicious lyrics–“We hope that you choke” from “OK Computer” is a personal favorite–but “Hail to the Thief” seems bent on setting new records for emotional distance (“We can wipe you out anytime”; “We are accidents waiting to happen”). The intention is to evoke the way modernity slowly grinds people to dust–one of this group’s career-long obsessions....

Barris, who appears as a fictionalized version of himself, grapples with ideals like white gaze—or, rather, the perceived judgment white people place on black people’s penchant for extravagant purchases—and the lack of praise black fathers receive in comparison to black mothers, or mothers in general. The character’s wife, Joya, played by Rashida Jones, also has her strifes as a biracial mother of six kids, who struggles with understanding her own mixed-race identity and her place as a lawyer turned-stay-at-home-mom....

Belgian media had earlier quoted Koeman suggesting the forward would have to leave the club to fulfil his ambition. The 53-year-old Dutchman said he had been misquoted and that he was keen to hold on to Lukaku. “Of course there is a lot of interest in the player and finally the player needs to make a decision… what I tried to do is keep Romelu for as long as possible at the club,” Koeman told reporters....

Examples of Digital Fashion A new trend has kicked off with several notable examples and pivotal moments. In 2016, Bitmoji kickstarts the trend by allowing its users to dress their avatars in clothes from fashion brands. In 2018, Scandinavian retailer Carlings released its first-ever digital collection. In 2019, Dutch digital brand Fabricant sells the Iridescence dress on the blockchain for $9,500; the wearing process included photoshopping it on a picture after production and sale....
