Thousands of truckers are protesting a vaccine mandate for the industry brought in by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, under which lorry drivers will have to be vaccinated to cross the Canadian-U.S. border. The convoy—comprising big rigs and protesters—first arrived in the Canadian capital on the evening of January 28, clogging up the city’s main streets and bringing it to a standstill. Jim Watson, the mayor of Ottawa, has declared a state of emergency in the city and Trudeau has said the demonstrations have to stop....

The organization claims Brown and the Oregon Health Authority should have passed their order through the state legislature rather than the executive branch. “Governors in left-leaning states all over the country are making up the rules as they go – and ignoring the procedural rules their own state laws set up,” said Jason Dudash, the Freedom Foundation’s Oregon director in a statement. The Freedom Foundation filed the lawsuit on behalf of three Oregonians whose “medical conditions, past psychological trauma or strong political beliefs” make them opposed to wearing facial coverings despite the worsening COVID-19 epidemic....

The family from Wales told Newsweek that they are unable to play Swingball in the yard without the dog trying to join in. Quinn loves the game so much that they have to hide the ball out of reach on top of the stand to stop her heading out to play by herself. French bulldogs by nature are playful dogs and known to excel at canine sports, though not usually Swingball....

French officials said Tuesday that millions of birds have been “culled,” a term for farmers selectively killing animals when necessary, in the months since an outbreak of bird flu first began to appear on French farms in November, according to Reuters. The controversial process of asphyxiation, cutting off ventilation into an area where the selected birds are being held, is said to be a last resort, French Agriculture Minister Julien Denormandie said Tuesday....

Halep did so in dramatic fashion coming back from down a set and a break to to capture the victory 3-6, 6-4, 6-1. Aside from a three-set thriller in the round of 32, when she won 8-6 in the third to defeat Camila Giorgi, Stephens has cruised through the competition, dropping just one set on her way to the final....

The study was published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in March 2021. “We’ve known the health impacts that higher saturated fat and high sodium meals can have over time, so this data is highlighting the fact that a good portion of meals out have a significantly higher amount of these items when compared to meals prepared at home,” Bridget Wood, RD, LD, a registered dietitian nutritionist located in Reno, Nevada, and virtual dietitian for YourDiabetesInsider, tells Verywell....

MORE: This week’s SN Power Rankings | SN Midseason Awards Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said Tuesday that, regardless of how Covey, 18, played this season, the coach expected him to go on his two-year Mormon mission....

The town north of the line marking the Arctic Circle now wants everyone to know where it’s at as they’re making a bid to host the 2032 Summer Olympic Games, and it’s not for balmy summer days and nights. The annual high temperatures in Salla rarely reach 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The good news is that those nightly temperatures rarely drop below 40 at night. That’s in the hottest part of the year, according to weatherspark....

Buy a computer these days, and the dealer will probably toss in an encyclopedia on CD-ROM as a freebie, the way a car dealer might throw in some nice floor mats or wheel covers. The encyclopedia you get is not a Britannica, still regarded as the top of the line. Oh, the Britannica is available on CD-ROM and through the Internet, but without the multimedia sound and graphics of its competitors....

Goal 50: The best footballers of 2016 Loizi met Moses when the youngster approached the Tandridge Youth Football League team looking for a game after he had been resettled in England following the religiously-motivated murder of his parents in Nigeria. The 25-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic rise to become Antonio Conte’s first-choice right wing-back at Chelsea. But it was Loizi who introduced him to the English game after getting the permission of his foster parents to sign him up to play in the youth league just outside of London....

Jonny Carmack, 30, from Danbury, CT, converted his old farmhouse into a pastel paradise using pink, blue, and purple paints. Jonny and his partner Mitchell Pozo, 28, transformed their house for just $15,000 by shopping at estate sales and vintage dealers. When Jonny purchased the property for $256,000, the walls were white and in need of some “tender loving care”. Two years on, Zillow has re-valued the home inspired by the American sitcom The Golden Girls is worth $350,000....

The movie’s themes are aptly captured in the double entendre of the title, suggesting both Crane’s narcissism and the video technology that abets it. Greg Kinnear, all easy charm and mock innocence, does an amazing job showing us a guy caught in a celebrity hall of mirrors. Schrader’s not particularly interested in plumbing his psychological depths (what depths?); he sees Crane more as a symbol of a banal culture all too eager to confuse image and fame with reality....

The ‘little king of Sao Januario’, Juninho joined Lyon in 2001 after six years at Vasco da Gama in his native Brazil that had brought two Brazilian league titles and a Copa Libertadores in 1998, the club’s first and only. He arrived amidst little fanfare. In an age before mass internet use, even the most seismic of waves barely made a ripple on European shores; footage of the stunning free-kick that gave Vasco victory over River Plate in the second-leg of the Libertadores semi-finals was nowhere to be found in France....

The closest parallels to the angels of Christianity, however, are in the two other great faiths of the Middle East–Judaism and Islam. The cherubim who swell the Judeo-Christian heavens become the ranks of Islamic karubiyun. The Judaic angel of death finds his Islamic counterpart in the fearsome Azrail, whose eyes and tongues equal the number of the living. If anyone shivers, says the folk belief, Azrail must be staring at him....

Antetokounmpo, the son of Nigerian migrants, was born in Athens. He spent part of last summer performing obligatory service with the Greek army, and spent part of the summer working out in Los Angeles. He’s had many addresses. But ask him where he feels home is, and he breaks out a big smile, spreads his hand and waves it around the Cousins Center in St. Francis, just south of Milwaukee....

Rapper-singer Post Malone took a nasty spill last weekend in St. Louis after he stepped into a large hole in the stage, falling face-down. Although the rapper has since reassured fans that “everything’s good” and that he’ll continue his current tour, a trip to the hospital revealed that he’d bruised some ribs. On Tuesday, in a self-deprecating Instagram post, Malone is pictured holding a mic with his right hand and flipping off the floor with his left....

Before the season began, the Blues had high hopes of signing Alex Sandro, Juventus’ rampaging left-back. Now, midway through the 2017-18 campaign, they have instead brought in Emerson, a reserve at Roma. Chelsea fans could, therefore, be forgiven for asking not only who Emerson is, but why their club has paid £17.5 million for a player who has featured just twice for the Giallorossi so far this season. As with any story, though, context is key....
