Argentina international Funes Mori arrived at Goodison Park in September 2015, with Roberto Martinez - who was Everton manager at the time - splashing out a reported £10 million ($13m) to sign him from River Plate. A regular starter in his first season, Funes Mori slipped down the pecking order under Ronald Koeman before a knee problem restricted him to just four appearances in the 2017-18 campaign. The 27-year-old, who missed out on Jorge Sampaoli’s World Cup squad, has now signed for Villarreal, penning a four-year deal with the Liga club....

Carrey may stoop, but he always conquers. He can be seen currently doing one of his scorched-earth campaigns in “Batman Forever,” which just had a record-breaking $18 million opening night. Carrey plays Edward Nygma, a jittery mad scientist who metamorphoses into the audacious, cane-twirl-ing Riddler. The Riddler’s scheme to unmask Batman (Val Kilmer) and drain the brains of Gotham City is the engine that drives the movie, and Carrey’s been prancing away with every review (box, page 54)....

Wembanyama had 36 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks and four assists in Metropolitans 92’s 112-106 victory and made several impact plays as his team cut down a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter. The 18-year-old scored from the perimeter and in the paint, and he used his enormous wingspan to reject or alter shots at the rim. Unfortunately for the fans at The Dollar Loan Center, they didn’t get to see Wembanyama match up with Scoot Henderson, who is right behind Wembanyama on several big boards....

It has raised hopes the species could be revived if researchers can find a mate for the animal—a female Giant Tortoise discovered on Fernandina Island in Ecuador, which is part of the Galápagos Islands. The tortoise, named Fern, was discovered in 2019 by researchers at the Galápagos National Park Directoriate (GNPD) and Galápagos Conservancy.

Two modest culls have been attempted, resulting in a total of 35 chickens killed. But Environmental Minister John Young said Jersey is still “dealing with very large numbers.” In 2019 alone, he’s received some 40 complaints about the birds, which are waking residents up in the middle of the night. Some locals are at their wits end, but others seem to enjoy the birds’ presence. “We are in a situation where we have got animal lovers on the one hand and where we have got those who are experiencing a nuisance on the other,” said Young....

History and recent cases of unequally pursuing missing persons cases, delayed justice for Team USA gymnasts and increasing risks of modern day slavery demonstrate the urgency needed to expand access to justice globally.

The investigation noted that victims repeatedly asked, “Who’s going to believe us? We’re Black girls.” As a researcher gathering data for eight years in the U....

The Flomaton Police Department (FPD) reported on Thursday that the selection buttons on the gas pumps at a local station had been taken, sharing surveillance photos of the three suspected thieves in a Facebook post.
