Tova Noel, 31, and Michael Thomas, 41, were charged with falsifying records that were supposed to document routine patrols of the Special Housing Unit, where both officers were stationed, according to a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday. The checks would have alerted Noel or Thomas to a health incident involving an inmate, such as a suicide attempt. They failed to conduct all five inmate counts and falsely certified that the counts were completed, authorities said....

A press release from Kaepernick’s camp on Saturday afternoon announced many sudden, recent changes to the workout. If a team signs Kaepernick, it will be the first time he’s played in the NFL since 2016. While initial plans had announced that media would not be allowed at the 3 p.m. workout, the new statement informed NFL officials and journalists that the event would instead take place at 4 p.m. at Charles Drew High School in Atlanta, Georgia, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter....

As seen in Nintendo’s post directly below, fans of the company living stateside can either learn what unfolds from the announcement later today by tuning in through the Big N’s Facebook page, or from the publisher and developer’s official YouTube channel.

The beach spinoff show places dozens of singles from other Bachelor programs in a resort to find love, and the couples change as quickly as the tides. That doesn’t mean all relationships have to fail. A handful of couples that have already begun on Bachelor In Paradise Season 6 seem to be going strong, and some are even engaged, after the show. Spoiler site Reality Steve revealed the three engagements on his blog before the season even started....

On Thursday, the “Summertime Sadness” singer announced her seventh album in a lengthy statement shared on Instagram that also addressed criticisms of her lyrics. The post opened by invoking the names of a few high-profile female artists—including Beyoncé, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj—and noting that they’ve had success with songs that deal with sexual subject matter. Del Rey seemed to be saying that that should entitle her to sing about what she’d like to, “without being crucified or saying that I’m glamorizing abuse....

It’s possible that Aster was just joking when he said that his next movie will be four hours long, as that’s one aspect of his films that has been criticized by some. Hereditary was over two hours long, and Midsommar was nearly 2 and a half hours long. An extended cut of Midsommar was released that made the film clock in at nearly three hours long. This is a bit odd for horror movies, which tend to be on the shorter side compared to other film genres....

There are many possible causes of esophagitis. Herpes esophagitis is caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2, although it rarely occurs in individuals who have a healthy immune system. Herpes esophagitis is more likely to occur in individuals who are immunocompromised, such as because of HIV infection. What Is Herpes Esophagitis? Esophagitis is the technical term for inflammation and irritation of the esophagus, the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach....

The Spain international emerged as a key performer for the Red Devils in 2016-17, with his fine form recognised as he was named the club’s Player of the Year. Manc teams 5/1 to score O7.5 vs Palace He has, however, been shunted down the pecking order following the £40 million arrival of Nemanja Matic, with the big-money Serb fitting seamlessly into a holding role. Herrera has seen just 90 Premier League minutes as a result, but the 28-year-old remains confident that he has a role to play and that he can continue to learn from those around him....

For months, the Donald Trump-endorsed candidate who is hoping to unseat Democrat Raphael Warnock in November’s midterm election has been hit with a seemingly never-ending string of scandals about his personal and professional life. The latest controversy involving the Republican alleges he paid for his then girlfriend’s abortion in 2009, despite now opposing the procedure in all circumstances, including rape, incest or if the mother’s life is in danger....

Christian Walker has previously been critical of his father and repeatedly accused him of being a liar to save his public image. Walker’s son has also faced criticism from his father’s supporters on social media. They have suggested he should raise his grievances privately rather than in public. Some have also rebuked Christian Walker for his claims and insisted he was lying about his father to ruin his election chances....

Goals from Arjen Robben, Robert Lewandowski and David Alaba were enough to seal the victory for the champions at Signal Iduna Park in an entertaining contest. 5/1 for Bayern and Anderlecht draw It means Bayern, who appointed Heynckes last month to replace the sacked Carlo Ancelotti, have a four-point lead over RB Leipzig, while Dortmund – who were top by five at the end of match week seven – are six adrift after 11 matches....

Brunson has gotten a bit more attention this year with his shift into the starting lineup. In those 32 games, he’s averaging 17.8 points, 6.4 assists and 4.2 rebounds on solid efficiency. How is he scoring so much standing at just 6-1 and listed at 190 pounds? It might be surprising to hear that his game depends heavily on an intersection of physicality and craft. “I like to play with contact,” Brunson told JJ Redick on ”The Old Man and The Three” podcast....

In a post on Twitter, Kojima explained that Death Stranding, unlike his Metal Gear series, is not a stealth game. He also dismissed the idea that it is a shooting game either, though the most recent Death Stranding trailer did confirm that there will be guns used in combat. However, Kojima believes the game’s focus on connection or “strand” makes it a completely new genre. Hideo Kojima describes Death Stranding’s genre as “action game/strand game (social strand system)....

The release of Death Stranding is now only a few months away, and it’s not far-fetched to say that the game gives off a little bit of a weird vibe and is still shrouded in a cloud of mystery. Case in point: at Comic-Con 2019, game director Hideo Kojima explained how Death Stranding is inspired by Donkey Kong. However, prior to arriving at the conference in San Diego, the Japanese developer was held up by customs at the airport....

Strangely, all this is happening in a gym-Crunch Fitness in downtown Manhattan–and these people are actually working out. Not in the old way. Nobody’s shouting, “No pecs, no sex!” or “Feel the burn!” Devotees of Crunch’s holistic “Cyked” classes are way beyond basic cardio training. It’s just one of Crunch’s many “noncompetitive” and “non-judgmental” programs-ideal for recovering workoutaholics. Kristen Carlberg, a 30-year-old graphic designer, is a convert: “It’s church, but a different kind of church....

That’s when Dwyane Wade and Gatorade stepped in. After halftime of Riverdale’s three-point win over Ben Franklin on Saturday, a crew of workers snuck into the Rebel locker room at the behest of Wade, and utterly revamped the room, replacing the outdated metal lockers with handcrafted wooden lockers in the style of an NBA locker room. Yes, it took them only an hour. And, yes, the players were utterly shocked when they saw the transformation....
