I have four children, all boys, and a husband. I love them all dearly and wouldn’t change them for the world but I was round at my friend’s this morning for a coffee and I can’t help but feel a pit of jealousy when I am with her and her daughter....

Steinrock is a professional intimacy coordinator across film and television, and she’s gained a social media following of millions for her hilarious and educational videos that explain how sex scenes are now shot. She’s worked on projects like Animal Kingdom, Little Fires Everywhere and Moxie, but she’s best known to audiences for her TikTok account, @intimacycoordinator.

This anecdote about the statue stands near the middle of Michael Oren’s vast new best seller, “Power, Faith and Fantasy: America in the Middle East, 1776 to the Present.” It served as a metaphor for the mingled, often mirrored fates of two regions strangely bound by grandiose dreams and hardheaded commerce, conflicting beliefs in one God, mutual fears, great hopes and grim bloodshed. Because there is no other book with such a sweeping view of the subject, the vast cast of characters Oren presents and the exhaustively researched tales of the way they played on each other will shape our thinking about America and the Middle East for years....
Schick acknowledges Juve deal is ‘possible’ Inzaghi took over in July following the shock departure of Marcelo Bielsa after just two days in charge at Stadio Olimpico and the 41-year-old led Lazio to the final of the Coppa Italia, where they were beaten by Juventus.

MORE: Greatest American Olympians | Rio Olympic venues WADA recommended a complete ban of Russian competitors submitted by their committees from the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games following the publication of the report, which concluded that the government, security services and sporting authorities of the country colluded to hide doping across a range of sports....
In the past, it was believed that people who experienced an allergic reaction to substances containing iodine were allergic to the nutrient. Healthcare providers now believe that the term, “iodine allergy” should no longer be used because it is inaccurate. Iodine is essential for thyroid function, and an allergy to it would be life-threatening. Research shows that iodine is likely not an allergen and that other substances in items also containing iodine are responsible for any hypersensitivity reactions people may have....
This is not what we’ll remember from Monmouth’s victory, though. Is it? We will not remember that the Hawks took a nice step forward in the Metro Atlantic race, earning a victory that might help them in pursuit of an at-large bid. We won’t remember that Iona’s A.J. English scored 45 points and grabbed seven steals, or that Monmouth’s tiny Justin Robinson scored 29 and dominated the game.

The Trump administration’s decision to drop the requirement for 31 oil refineries to blend ethanol into their fuel has killed demand for 1.4 billion bushels of corn to make it. Since taking office, the Trump administration has granted 85 refineries a pass from buying 4 billion gallons of renewable fuel, which could lead to the closure of 15 ethanol plants nationwide including one in Iowa. The policy was part of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions....

The state’s Trinity Lutheran School and All Saints Catholic Schools also announced that classes were canceled Monday due to the shortage. “A large number of bus drivers called in sick this morning with COVID-19-related issues. Too large a number to adjust routes at short notice,” the school district wrote in a Facebook post Monday....
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) launched an investigation into the Glenwood Resource Center in Iowa in November 2019 following allegations that some vulnerable residents had been used for a series of tests, including “sexual arousal studies.” State officials have now reached a settlement with the DOJ after the conclusion of the federal probe into the site in Glenwood. A new series of rules must be followed by the facility, and officials will monitor the center as it is wound down and the residents are moved to new homes by 2024....

Well, the sophomore took care of that Saturday by throwing down a one-hander over Michigan’s Caris LeVert, then brought his index finger to his lips to administer the “Shhh” to his home crowd at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Better yet, he even called for an alley-oop! That probably would have prompted a double 'Shhhhh', with both index fingers. Iowa (18-6, 7-4 Big Ten) won a game it badly needed, crushing the Wolverines 85-67....
By holding off on hiring an agent, the 6-11 junior will retain his final year of eligibility if he chooses to return to campus next season. “The NBA has been my dream since I started playing basketball as a kid and I’m going to do everything I can to pursue that,” Garza said in a prepared statement. “If it ends up not being the right time to make the move to the NBA, I’m excited about the potential of what my senior season as a Hawkeye could have in store....
To mark the occasion, Meyers went through the cancer ward at the Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames, Iowa, ringing a bell to symbolize the end of the debilitating treatments (the bell-ringing celebration is a tradition started by a cancer survivor at the center).

The Iranian government has said its elite Revolutionary Guard mistakenly shot down Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 as it departed Tehran’s international airport Tuesday, hours after an Iranian missile strike on military facilities housing U.S. troops in neighboring Iraq. Iranian official and semi-official media citing rescue workers initially suggested that the aircraft crashed due to technical failure. However, angry citizens have taken to the streets accusing the government of having attempted to mislead the population....
Health Ministry official Mohammad Hashemi told a state television station on Monday that around a million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine arrived in the country from Poland. However, when it was discovered that the vaccines—considered “forbidden”—were manufactured in the United States, Iranian and Polish authorities agreed to send them back. “When the vaccines arrived in Iran, we found out that 820,000 doses of them which were imported from Poland were from the United States,” said Hashemi....
Mohammadi was arrested in November after she went to a memorial for a victim of one of the nationwide protests in 2019, the Associated Press reported. Taghi Rahmani, Mohammadi’s husband who lives in Paris, tweeted on Sunday that she received the sentence under accusations of “spying for Saudi Arabia.” Rahmani also said Mohammadi had received a two-year ban on “communication,” and she had not been in contact with him or their family to give further details on the trial and sentencing, according to a statement from the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI)....
The seven provinces that comprise the U.S. military’s Multinational Division–North have about 15,000 CLCs, meaning a monthly payroll of some $4.5 million. Here in troubled Diyala province, U.S. Army commanders work closely with 2,000 to 3,000 CLC members, conferring almost daily in sessions that seem remarkably like corporate meetings. CLC leaders talk mostly about salaries and the number of new members and supplies they need, doggedly trying to expand their resources and extend their reach....
