To mark her 75th birthday, Camilla has guest edited the July 13 issue of British magazine Country Life which is dedicated to countryside pursuits including environmental issues. For images of the royal to be included in the edition, Camilla had one very regal photographer in mind for the commission. Per The Telegraph, at a meeting held at the royal’s London residence, Clarence House, Country Life editor Mark Hedges asked Camilla if she had any creative input over the cover image....

Why all the love for a place so tiny that there’s not even a direct flight from Las Vegas, where about 70 percent of Nevadans reside? The state’s stock has risen now that it will hold one of the first caucuses in January. And Elko, small as it is, is still the third most populous county. With a state this spread out, says Las Vegas Review-Journal political writer Molly Ball, “Elko visits are symbolic visits to ’the rural’,” which face different environmental and economic issues than the cities....

As more of our daily activities are switched to voice-controlled digital assistants, one question that remains is whether they can actually improve the lives of lonely or isolated people. Alexa, What Percentage of Americans Experience Loneliness? Alexa: “36% of all Americans are feeling lonely in according to a report from Harvard’s Making Caring Common Project.” Loneliness is now considered a public health issue associated with increased risk for depression, dementia, and even mortality....

Don’t expect Americans to cheer. Oct. 3 marks the one-year anniversary of the moment that defined how a mission can creep from humane intentions to horror- the battle of the Olympic Hotel in Mogadishu, which left 12 Americans dead. If one phrase was banned among policymakers last week, it was “nation-building.” That’s what the United States tried to do in Somalia, where gangs of armed children now roam the pockmarked streets once again....

Nearly eight months before Election Day, and four months before the Democrats’ convention in New York City, the general election campaign against George Bush has begun. Clinton still must deal with Jerry Brown, the kamikaze candidate. There was the Connecticut primary this week, where Brown could inherit much of Tsongas’s support, and a skein of big-state primaries ahead. But with Tsongas out, with Clinton’s victories last week in Illinois and Michigan, and with nearly half the delegates he needs in hand, voters will begin to ask the tough questions: Is this erstwhile “boy governor,” eerily articulate and only 45, ready for The Show?...

Although the Frenchman was hitting respectable numbers for most strikers each season, they paled in comparison to his then-teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was regularly hitting between 50-60 goals a season. Ronaldo left Real Madrid for Juventus in the Summer of 2018 and since then Benzema has been Los Blancos’ main goal provider. Whilst this did not go down too well last season, with many feeling Real Madrid had completely collapsed as a club following the departure of their greatest ever player, they have somewhat regrouped in the 2019/20 season and this is reflected by Benzema’s form in front of goal....

U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Cedric King lost his legs and part of his right arm when he stepped on a land mine in Afghanistan, according to Black and Blue Review. When quarterback Cam Newton saw him sitting near a tunnel, Newton stopped, took off the practice jersey he was wearing and placed it on the veteran. MORE: NFL players doing good | De’Anthony Thomas jukes teammate Many of the players were excited to see King, who has been a source of inspiration for the team over the past few seasons....

Desafortunadamente, Alexa no es mágica y si solo tienes un altavoz Echo, Alexa no puede controlar tu TV. Necesitarás al menos un Fire TV Stick (todas las versiones excluyen la primera generación) pero tendrás el máximo control si tienes un Fire TV Cube o un Fire Edition TV. Las generaciones posteriores de la Fire TV Stick vienen con un control remoto para Alexa, lo que significa que puedes mantener presionado el botón del micrófono para ladrarle tus comandos....

Camelot will start at long odds-on in a less than vintage renewal of the Irish Derby, staged this year on Saturday evening rather than its habitual Sunday slot in a bid to boost attendance. The absence of any headline contenders from Britain or France is testimony to the soaring reputation Camelot has attained in his short racing life. Aidan O’Brien’s red hot favourite stretched his record to four wins from as many starts when coming home an eye catching winner of the Epsom Derby, that success achieved on the back of his English 2,000 Guineas triumph....

Now he’s directed and coproduced the “reality TV” movie “The Real Cancun,” which opens today. NEWSWEEK’s Malcolm Beith spoke to de Oliveira. Excerpts: NEWSWEEK: “The Real Cancun” differs from “The Real World” in a few ways. Rick de Oliveira: In “The Real Cancun,” we took a stylistic approach of trying to do it without interviews. We wanted to make it a comedy, which it is. We try not to take it too seriously, we try to make fun of ourselves....

Cameroon failed to find the net during a first half which they dominated, but Hugo Broos’ side held firm at the back and punished Ghana deep into the second period to confirm a repeat of the 2008 final that Egypt edged 1-0. After a rather pragmatic approach to their quarter-final triumph over Senegal, Cameroon posed significantly more attacking threat to Ghana, with wingers Benjamin Moukandjo and Bassogog particularly prominent. They failed to make the most of their superiority in the first half, though, and Ghana improved after the break to become the controlling force....

The Turkish-based striker scored a brace as his side cruised to victory on Saturday. Rizespor returned to winning ways with the win, their first Super Lig match of 2017 having suffered defeat in their last 2016 encounter. The 29-year-old who also captains Karadeniz Atmacasi raced onto an Ozgur Cek inch perfect through ball in the second minute and fired his side ahead. Dhurgham Ismail doubled the visitors’ lead in the 34th minute and Rizespor took the 2-0 advantage to the interval....

But if you look a little closer, the numbers weren’t exactly what they seemed. According to the campaign, $3.5 million of that money—more than half of the total raised—was designated for the general election. In other words, Romney can’t touch that cash unless he becomes the nominee, which is hardly guaranteed at this point. The real number that counts: $1.5 million, which is how much Romney raised for the primary....

In early 1980, he was just a local trial judge in upstate New York; she was an influential Republican operative lucky enough to pick the right horse in the presidential race, serving as Ronald Reagan’s state vice chairman. Within nine months of the Inauguration, Roger had himself a judgeship on the federal district court; four years later, he was elevated to the powerful federal appeals bench in Manhattan. “We’re a team,” he says....

Multiple studies have associated plant-based diets with lower risk and severity of COVID-19. But how reliable are these claims? In one recent study published in Gut, researchers used a short-form food frequency questionnaire made up of 27 questions to capture data about the dietary habits of the participants. The diets were scored using a healthful plant-based diet index, a scoring system that ranks a wide range of foods based on healthiness....

What was supposed to be Barca’s year in the Champions League has ended miserably for them, just like it did last year when AS Roma completed a comeback against them in the quarterfinals. Having already won the LaLiga with ease and reached the final of the Copa del Rey, Barcelona were expected to deliver against Liverpool and reach their first Champions League final since 2015. But they didn’t have any answer to Liverpool’s attack, and looked clueless for the majority of the match - with their captain Messi having a rare off day....

There is change in the air. In a recent interview, liberal comedian Bill Maher said, “For the first time in my life, I’m playing to a mixed audience…about 60-40 liberal to conservative. That never used to happen, never.” Comedian Dave Chappelle—whose jokes about radical gender theory were met with predictable outrage from keyboard warriors and predictable praise from the right-wing Fox News crowd—is still beloved by comedy fans on the Left and the Right....

But Bossie is still working away. In recent months, he has returned to investigating the Clintons, this time for a tough documentary scheduled for release in theaters this fall. One of the documentary’s key potential audiences: a new generation of voters who don’t remember the old Clinton wars. He points out that someone who is 18 today was “4 years old when the travel-office scandal broke.” These young voters, he predicts, will be hungry for Hillary dirt, new and old....
