Thomas Tuchel says Elliot Anderson is “clearly in the mix for Serbia”. That may be a significant understatement. On the evidence of his senior debut, it looks already like he is in the mix for England’s World Cup squad next summer. There are numerous provisos, what-ifs and maybes – not least the fact that his stellar first performance for the Three Lions came against a team ranked 174 in world football. It was hardly the stiffest test. But Tuchel has been searching for, and bemoaning the lack of, a midfielder who is an instinctive, deep-lying central playmaker. It looks like…

For two decades, Dr. Vonda Wright served as an academic surgeon at the University of Pittsburgh. There, she researched musculoskeletal aging and longevity in hopes of “dispelling the common notion that aging was an inevitable decline,” she says.The bulk of her research, alongside her team, involved studying members of aging populations who kept active, including people who competed in the National Senior Games, a biannual event for athletes ages 50 and older.Wright, 58, set a goal that she’s followed for over 20 years: “The mantra that I laid down in the early 2000s when I [wondered], ‘What is going to…

Florida’s plan to drop school vaccine mandates likely won’t take effect for 90 days and would include only chickenpox and a few other illnesses unless lawmakers decide to extend it to other diseases, like polio and measles, the health department said Sunday.The department responded to a request for details, four days after Florida’s surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, said the state would become the first to make vaccinations voluntary and let families decide whether to inoculate their children.It’s a retreat from decades of public policy and research that has shown vaccines to be safe and the most effective way to…

CHICAGO (AP) — The Rev. Marshall Hatch urged congregants of a prominent Black church on Chicago’s West Side to carry identification, stay connected to family and protest as the city readied for an expected federal intervention.“You need to start telling people about your whereabouts, so you don’t disappear,” Hatch said during Sunday services at New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church. “We’re not going to despair. We’re not going to feel threatened. We’re not going to give up and give in to fascism and authoritarianism.”As Chicago braced for an immigration enforcement crackdown and a possible National Guard deployment, churches across the…

On his reflections on the game and why the result transpired…Because games can just get away from you really, really quickly. My feelings are strange really because I felt in the first half – particularly in the first 40 minutes – we were pretty good. Probably better than pretty good. I think the control we had in the game was very good. Then it’s just the four minutes either side of half-time, you can see how quickly the game can get away from you. Disappointing, obviously, to concede the [first] goal when we were so dominant, but I felt that…

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel’s Supreme Court on Sunday ruled that the government has failed to provide Palestinian security prisoners with adequate food for basic subsistence and ordered authorities to improve their nutrition.The decision was a rare case in which the country’s highest court ruled against the government’s conduct during the nearly two-year war. Since the war began, Israel has seized thousands of people in Gaza that it suspects of links to Hamas. Thousands have also been released without charge, often after months of detention. Rights groups have documented widespread abuse in prisons and detention facilities, including insufficient food…

Ornella Vignola scored a hat-trick on her Women’s Super League debut for Everton as the Toffees secured a 4-1 win in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool.The Reds took the lead through Cornelia Kapocs, rifling her effort into the top-right corner in the 12th minute, but saw it quickly cancelled out by Vignola’s first goal of the afternoon. The summer signing from Granada led the counter-attack for her side before shifting the ball onto her left foot and curling a shot into the far corner. Katja Snoeijs would then head Everton into the lead just before the break.Three changes for the…

Current CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Antonio Neri rose from call center agent at the company to chief executive officer. Doug McMillon, Walmart CEO, started off with a summer gig helping to unload trucks. It’s a similar story for GM CEO Mary Barra, who began on the assembly line at the automaker as an 18-year old. Those are the kinds of career ladder success arcs that have inspired workers, and Hollywood, but as AI is set to replace many entry-level jobs, it may also write that corporate character out of the plot. The rise of AI has coincided with considerable…
