This is not about a superiority complex or gloating over our success, but about saving lives, pure and simple—something that has been a central tenet of my country since its establishment more than 70 years ago. In one of the worst-ever global crises, it is what we must all be focused on. In just over a month, Israel has succeeded in vaccinating more than 3 million of its 9.25 million citizens and residents, with some 1 million already receiving the second dose of the two-stage inoculation process....

Sami Hureini said that the settlers wielded clubs and stones, which they threw at cars and homes during the attack on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported. Several of Mufaqara’s residents were wounded during the incident, including one four-year-old boy, Mohammed Bakr, who Hureini said was hospitalized after sustaining a head injury. An Israeli rights group released footage of the attack, showing several of the settlers with scarves wrapped around their faces and shirtless....

“My husband and I fall into the ‘vulnerable age’ category, so we made the decision a few weeks ago that we would not travel to either the Texas Hill Country where our son and family live or to California where our daughter’s family live,” Missy Buchanan told Newsweek. Instead, the Rockwall couple brainstormed a creative way in which they could still celebrate the holiday with their grandchildren. “With the rising COVID numbers, we thought it was a good opportunity to show younger generations that we could have fun ‘celebrating’ even though we were not together physically,” Missy explained....

It is not a given that Christian Pulisic will open for Chelsea in Tuesday’s 3 p.m. game in Spain, although he would loom as an egregious omission after he was the player chosen to represent the club in Monday’s pre-match news conference. “I think the key is going to be having a really good start to the match and showing our energy right from the start and showing that we’re ready for this competition,” Pulisic told reporters....

For cognac aficionados, Hennessy Ellipse Cognac blends seven outstanding vintages—one dating back to 1830—to create a complex bouquet, then presents the liqueur in an elliptical Baccarat crystal decanter ($6,955; harrods.com). Another fine cognac, the Frapin Cuv?e 1888 Rabelais, is now available in a special carafe produced by the Cristalleries Royales de Champagne, accentuated by a 24-karat gold border. Only 1,888 bottles are being produced ($7,010; harrods.com).

If only everything came so easy to Nintendo. Sure, players and reviewers say it publishes the world’s best videogames. But the company’s missteps and delays over the past few years have allowed old competitors to stay alive and new ones to enter the arena. Sony’s PlayStation, which debuted in 1995, has outperformed Nintendo 64, selling 73 million units to Nintendo’s 29 million. More recently, Sega was revitalized thanks to the success of Dreamcast in the United States, and the 800-pound gorilla named Micro-soft is set to crash Nintendo’s Mario party with the Xbox next year....

Celebrities and corporate partners are reminding folks to register, along with content creator Missy Modell. She shared a video on Tuesday, reminding all to register to vote if you haven’t yet. The catchy tune, titled “Register Early,” is sung to the tune of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe.” “100 million people didn’t vote in 2016. Let’s not make that mistake again, k?,” Modell captioned the video. “Make sure you’re registered and tell all your & family friends to do it too!...

Diaz is part of a rapidly growing segment of the U.S. population: single fathers. Men raising their children on their own have climbed from 10 percent of single parents in 1980 to almost 15 percent in 1991. Last year they accounted for 1.2 million U.S. households. And they’re not the stereotypical wealthy widowers or fathers raising only boys or older kids. According to a recent study, about two thirds of single fathers are divorced-but 25 percent have never tied the marital knot-and only 7....

Is there a method in this madness for the Elizabethan? A simple, bottom-line explanation is the success of Branagh’s ““Henry V’’ in 1989, which opened the door for Mel Gibson’s ““Hamlet,’’ Branagh’s sunny ““Much Ado About Nothing’’ and the Laurence Fishburne ““Othello’’ (not to mention ““My Own Private Idaho,’’ in which Gus Van Sant snuck Falstaff into Seattle). But Luhrmann, the 33-year-old Australian director of ““Strictly Ballroom,’’ has a meta-explanation....

MORE: Cup qualifying | Playing it safe isn’t an option | 10 to watch In all, 13 of the 36 trucks in the race were damaged. Ben Rhodes got into the wall, and his truck swung right into the pack of racers. There was no place to hide. Parts went flying, and damage ranged from rearranged sheet metal to wrecker-worthy mangling. At least two drivers were taken to the track’s medical facility, where they were examined and released....

As a happiness expert and life coach, I have deep compassion for how hard it is for many people to be happy. What I also know is that when people make up their minds to move toward happiness and take intentional actions to bring happiness into their lives, usually they are eventually successful. It’s not an overnight process, yet it is fairly straightforward. My suggestion is that you take a road trip to happiness, and I will give you a trip plan to get you started....

“Be yourself” seems insufficient at times like this. I know from my experience with integration that it takes a long time to own your identity. In an all-black elementary school in Cleveland, I carried around a dogeared copy of “A Little Princess” and listened to Bach on my transistor radio. Nobody paid attention. When my family moved to Shaker Heights, an affluent suburb known for its successfully integrated schools, I encountered the war over who was authentically black....

In the 1930s, my family and I were living under Hitler’s regime in Munich, Germany. As Jews, my parents realized that it was essential for us to leave, but no country would give us asylum. Then a miracle happened–Italy opened its borders. It was 1939 when we finally left, each of us taking only one suitcase and 10 marks. We went to Milan. My father, a tailor, and my mother, a seamstress, found jobs....

More than 60 players total were reported to have contracted the virus across the league’s 20 clubs. In the Salernitana club alone, which is in last place, nine players are positive for the virus. Inter Milan, Napoli and Juventus are all also missing top players. Still, all 20 clubs are scheduled to play in 10 matches both on Thursday and Sunday. Salernitana’s matchups with Venezia and Hellas Verona on Thursday and Sunday, respectively, may still be halted if local health authorities decide to stop the team from competing....

Like everything Hollywood, the shift is driven by dollars–as if anyone could have ignored the $140 million “Blair Witch” bonanza. A studio spends an average of $30 million just marketing every release. But the independent companies showed that by casting unknown heartthrobs and targeting young moviegoers, they could reduce costs and develop brand names like Dimension Films (“Scream”) that are as important to teens as Disney is to families. Zemeckis and Silver’s new “Ghost Ship” cost a modest $23 million and is headed by a TV star, “ER’s” Julianna Margulies....

Ivana Trump, 73, died on July 14 at her home in New York City, and her funeral was held at Manhattan’s St. Vincent Ferrer Church at 1:30 p.m. ET on July 20. Here are some of the pictures from her funeral. Ahead of the service, Donald Trump took to his social media platform to briefly discuss his anguish at the loss of his former partner. Trump said that despite the sadness, it was also a time to celebrate Ivana Trump’s life....

In a letter requesting her voluntary cooperation with the investigation, committee Chairman Bennie Thompson informed her that the committee believes her proximity to the former president on the day of the riot gave her “knowledge bearing directly on the President’s actions or inaction on January 6th, and his mind as the violent attack occurred at the Capitol.” One committee member, Democratic Representative Stephanie Murphy, told the Associated Press that Ivanka “has details about what occurred in the lead-up to and on January 6 and about the former president’s state of mind as events unfolded....

Iwobi, 20, grew up in England after moving to the country from Lagos, Nigeria, when he was four years old. Arsenal bigger than Ozil & Alexis - Wenger Even though he played for England’s Under-16s, Under-17s and Under-18s, Iwobi swapped his allegiance to the Super Eagles in 2015 and has gone on to make seven appearances so far. Iwobi was shocked by his reception when he arrived to play for Nigeria and says supporters in the African country are more likely to ask for football boots and money, rather than autographs....

Indications This drug is used to treat locally advanced breast cancer (in which a tumor has spread to nearby areas such as the skin or chest wall, or to lymph nodes in the armpit area) and metastatic breast cancer (that which has spread to another part of the body, like the lungs). Ixempra is prescribed primarily for patients whose tumors are resistant to or no longer benefiting from anthracyclines such as Adriamycin (doxorubicin), taxanes such as Taxol (paclitaxel), and Xeloda (capecitabine)....
