In addition to those officers who have died since the riot, about 200 have left the department, U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said on Fox News Sunday. Manger called the shortage “the biggest problem that we face today.” “One thing we have not been able to fix, so to speak, are the staffing issues,” he said. “We lost over 130 officers that have left through either retirements or resignations after January 6....

Though some of these endings were accepted by fans and agreed upon to be good conclusions to character arcs, others were not. More specifically, the ending of Captain America’s arc was hotly contested, because it feels unsatisfying and contradictory to the themes of the rest of his story. It’s strange that it seems the Russo Brothers (directors of Endgame), who were the very people that set up the direction that Steve Rogers’s character would go from Captain America: The Winter Soldier onward, were unable to properly finish the story that they started....

“I thought initially it was a prank call," Jones said on WGR Sportsradio 550. “I was getting calls from some weird numbers all day, and I would answer and they would hang up.

Cardona mocked the opposition with a ‘slanty-eyes’ gesture as his nation were beaten 2-1 in Suwon, with both goals coming through Tottenham’s Son Heung-Min. The Boca Juniors player was not sanctioned during the game, but his actions were widely condemned after the final whistle. And although he insists no offence was meant, Cardona issued an apology to Colombia’s hosts during this international break. “I didn’t mean to disrespect anyone, a country or a race, but if anyone felt offended, or interpreted it in that way, I am sorry,” he said in a video published on the Colombian national team’s official Twitter account....

Beginning at birth, babies form strong bonds with the caregivers in their lives-be they parents, grandparents or babysitters. According to Jay Belsky, Distinguished Professor of Human Development at Penn State University, not only can children form multiple attachments; they can benefit from them. “If you’re secure to Mom and Dad, that’s better than being secure to just Mom. If you’re secure to Mom, Dad and the babysitter, even better.”...
