The Truth Behind the Myth A study by Andrew Wakefield, which has been retracted, started the debate about a link between vaccines and autism. Mr. Wakefield’s medical license has since been revoked due to conduct considered dishonest and irresponsible....

Vadim Krasikov, 56, was provided a false identity, fake passport and other resources for the slaying in broad daylight of 40-year-old Zelimkhan “Tornike” Khangoshvili, the court said. Khangoshvili was a Georgian citizen of Chechen ethnicity. Prosecutors said that the slaying was a retaliatory move for his “enmity toward the Russian state” and involvement in the second Chechen war, Al Jazeera reported. The incident spurred the German government to oust two Russian diplomats, and Russia responded with a reciprocal move....

Valencia has enjoyed a distinguished career at United, having joined from Wigan Athletic in 2009. While some felt he was an underwhelming replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo after he left for Real Madrid, Valencia enjoyed a bright first season only for a broken ankle in his second campaign to set him back. Although he never recaptured his best form as a winger after that injury, falling badly out of favour under Louis van Gaal, Valencia reinvented himself as a right-back in Jose Mourinho’s first campaign....

The visitors secured their promotion to the top flight last season and will look to announce their return to the top tier with a bang. Valencia enjoyed a solid 2021-23 campaign, securing a ninth-placed finish in La Liga, picking up 48 points from 38 games. Los Che also progressed to the final of the Copa del Rey, where they suffered a disappointing penalty shootout defeat against Real Betis. Valencia head into the weekend off the back of a fine pre-season, picking up three wins and one draw from five friendlies....

The Draugr Fang This bow is a late-game marvel of a weapon. Even at level 1, this high-tier Valheim weapon not only deals 47 pierce damage, but also couples that with 20 knockback and 5 elemental poison damage. This means that any arrow fired from this bow is also a poison arrow, all without hunting down all that ooze from the Swamps. While the material list for making and upgrading the Fang might seem a little daunting, it’s worth the work to see this bow in all its glowing glory....

Ahead of the second major of 2019, which takes place at Bethpage’s fearsome Black Course, we take a look at Tiger’s record in the PGA, focusing on the stand-out tournaments that occurred 10 and 20 years ago respectively. 1997: T29 1998: T10 1999: 1 - Tiger’s first PGA success came at Medinah 20 years ago, as he edged out a teenage Sergio Garcia.

With the WNBA season paused for the 2021 Olympics, Team USA has loaded up with some of the country’s top talent. The women’s squad possesses a terrific blend of veterans (Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi) and youngsters (Ariel Atkins, A’ja Wilson), and it sure doesn’t hurt to have the reigning Finals MVP (Breanna Stewart) on the roster. Can anyone challenge Team USA? Or will the Americans bring the gold home once again?...

Now, acting head coach Anthony Hudson will hope to push the USMNT towards a victory as they host Colombia at Dignity Health Sports Park in Southern California. The Serbia defeat saw a number of players make either their first or second international cap, with striker Brandon Vazquez scoring on his international debut. Yet a few defensive errors proved costly as Serbia scored in quick succession bracketing halftime. With these two matches falling outside a FIFA international window, both teams are featuring rosters that do not include most of their best European-based talent....

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service says the insects already have a presence in the U.S.—sightings have been reported in Washington State, Oregon, Georgia, Oklahoma and South Carolina—but fears they could become a permanent feature. “If they would become established here, they could cause serious, widespread damage to our country’s landscape and natural resources,” the USDA said.
