Stan Wawrinka fought back, but it was clear Nadal wasn’t letting anyone come close to upsetting his historical performance to complete “La Decima.” Nadal’s first win at Roland Garros was in 2005 at 19 years old. He went on to win four straight years until 2008. He picked up where he left off in 2010, winning five straight until 2014. He now adds 2017 to his collection of 15 career Grand Slam title wins at 31 years old....

Milovan Stankov-Pugès, co-founder and CEO of French start-up NG Biotech, said previously French legislation limited the distribution of home tests. “In the face of necessity, everyone broke down the barriers and was pragmatic and arranged things so the easiest tools to use could also be used at home,” said Stankov-Pugès. NG Biotech, a test-kit manufacturer in western France’s Brittany region, started recruiting more employees to meet the rising demands of the expanded production, which has already grown during the pandemic, now manufacturing tests during the day and night....

And if the American president pays close attention, the city could offer him some valuable insights into the intricacies of Russian politics. The trip to St. Petersburg is supposed to be more pleasure than business. After visiting Moscow to discuss issues of substance, Bush’s weekend visit to the elegant city that residents like to call the Venice of the North will take in mostly cultural stops. There’ll also be a meeting with university students–a reprise of the Bush-Putin visit to the Crawford High School near Bush’s ranch last November....

As the centre-back, who signed from Eibar this summer for €10 million, turned out for Newcastle at St James’ Park against Tottenham, he became the 200th different Frenchman to appear in a Premier League match. He followed in the footsteps of Eric Cantona, who was the only representative of the nation in the competition’s inaugural year. A flood of players have since crossed The Channel to play in England, among them David Ginola, Thierry Henry and N’Golo Kante, who have, like Cantona before them, all won the PFA Players’ Player of the Year prize....

Now that we’re finally out, we’re facing the prospect of a recession. Jobs may be abundant, but prices have increased across aisles, from gas to food. For businesses, input costs are up, coupled with lingering supply chain issues, and many are passing the cost onto their consumers (hopefully, without affecting demand). Employees face steep cost-of-living increases, making it challenging for businesses to hold onto good employees without significant compensation changes....

The league commissioned the investigation after ESPN’s Baxter Holmes published an in-depth report in November 2021 detailing Sarver’s behavior during his 18-year tenure. The report featured interviews with more than 70 current and former Suns employees and painted a picture of a “toxic and sometimes hostile workplace” under Sarver.

Ulcerative colitis is categorized by the severity of symptoms. Categorization also helps patients and physicians anticipate the outcomes of certain treatments, and it may help identify patients who are unlikely to respond to medical therapy and would likely benefit from surgery. Every year, about 10 to 12 new cases of ulcerative colitis are diagnosed in 100,000 people. The majority of these cases are mild or severe. However, 5% to 8% have fulminant colitis, also called acute severe colitis (acute meaning it occurs suddenly)....

In theory, death care should be immune from short-term economic swings. Death is one of only two sure things in life, and the U.S. population is aging. “This is one industry that pretty much holds strong regardless of the economy,” says Mike Nicodemus, funeral director at Hollomon-Brown Funeral Homes, a 10-operation chain in Virginia Beach, Va. But costs for raw materials (wood, flowers) are rising, while the flow of customers has slowed....

For years, versions of that nightmare scenario have been grist for doomsday prophets. It was pure hype. A terrorist group with the funds and know-how to develop a knapsack nuke would have had to be so big, rich and sophisticated as to rival a good-sized nation- hardly a recipe for keeping a secret. The routes to the prize–breeding plutonium in a reactor or refining uranium in a giant enrichment plant–are strewn with technical obstacles....

Petito’s case dominated headlines last year, with her fiancé, Laundrie, confessing to killing her in a journal entry in a notebook found with his remains after his own death.
