Sanction, written by Lyndon James McLeod under the pen name Roman McClay, is a science fiction trilogy that is available in paperback and Kindle formats. The books, which were published between 2018 and 2020, have remained on the e-commerce giant’s website two days after their author killed five people and was subsequently shot dead by a police officer. Newsweek examined passages of the books, which feature a man named Lyndon as a protagonist....

The young goalkeeper who represented Nigeria at the 2013 Fifa U17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates got Pepe Mel’s nod to start in goal for the Blues and Whites, and he did that in imposing fashion. Uzoho made a series of fine saves at the Municipal de Ipurua to prevent the hosts from scoring as his team got a crucial away point. Following his impressive show, the former Aspire Academy man took to social media to celebrate his remarkable outing....

Lionel Womack, a former police detective from Kansas City, filed an excessive force lawsuit against Kiowa County Sheriff’s Deputy Jeremy Rodriguez, accusing him of purposefully running him over in August of 2020 while he was running shirtless across a field, the Associated Press reported. Womack, who fled from a traffic stop in what he described as a “fight or flight” moment after several police vehicles began surrounding his car, said the incident seriously injured his back and pelvis, as well as his right thigh, knee and foot....

Chisora dropped a split decision to Pulev when the pair clashed in Hamburg for the vacant European heavyweight title in May 2016. That was Chisora’s sixth career defeat, a tally that has doubled in the interim period, although it speaks volumes of the 38-year-old’s unflinching performances and status as a compelling figure in and out of the ring that calls for retirement have not been universal. Those losses have tended to come against heavyweights of an elite level, however, and Pulev belongs in that bracket unless age has diminished the 41-year-old significantly....

On Tuesday we told you about the young deaf Seahawks fan who wrote an inspirational letter to Coleman. At the time, Coleman had not responded, but he finally wrote back, and his letter is terrific. It reads: Dear Miss Kovalcik, Thanks for the letter. Really was great hearing from a friend who I have so much in common with. I apreciate (sic) you rooting for the Seahawks and me and hope you continue to do so when we play in the Superbowl!...

So, the Bulls big man allowed people to tell their stories in “You’re Not Alone,” an anti-violence documentary produced by Noah and directed by award-winning author Alex Kotlowitz. The 8-minute film serves as a platform for people to talk about how gun violence has taken a toll on their life.

It was just too much: the speed, the decision-making, the decisiveness. Roberto Firmino had provided the touches and the finishes, while Philippe Coutinho orchestrated matters and embarrassed markers in equal measure before adding the golden brush strokes at the death. Mohamed Salah, meanwhile, supplied a sublime reminder that he’s not all about scoring goals - he is more than capable of torturing defenders en route to creating them as well....

The Liverpool star prevented Neymar from claiming the prize for the third straight year by topping a poll of fans, journalists and current and ex-players. Are Barca & Messi heading for divorce? Coutinho earned 32.13% of the overall vote, with Barcelona forward Neymar placing second on 27.88% and Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro rounding out the podium on 13.35%. Casemiro’s Madrid team-mate Marcelo (6.81%) and Coutinho’s forward partner Roberto Firmino (6....

Lallana named POTY 2016 The Brazilian playmaker barely featured for the Serie A side and was sold to the Anfield club in January 2013 for a fee of £8.5 million. Since then, the 24-year-old has established himself as one of the finest players in the Premier League. “It was a great regret for me to have to sell him – perhaps one of my greatest regrets in over 20 years at Inter,” he told ESPN ....

Coutinho has been pursued by the Catalan giants since the summer, and Barcelona finally have their man after Liverpool initially resisted the sale of the star creator. A Liverpool legend who played in Spain with Real Madrid, McManaman thinks Coutinho will be missed by the Reds despite their other talents. He also believes, however, that fans will accept the transfer after Coutinho played well in his final months at the club....

Despite aggressive attempts early on to shut down the disease with social distancing, the plague has roared back to life, forcing Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike to ask city residents stay indoors at least on the weekends and be more rigorous in their social distancing. But the death of the otherwise healthy Shimura is a blow to the psyche of a nation that he had once helped laugh its way out of its problems, a postwar Japan that had been brought to its knees by war and poverty....

Zakariya and her family are being evicted by their landlord. Like millions of Americans who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic, Zakariya and her husband are struggling to stay afloat and pay rent. “When COVID-19 hit, we started getting behind,” Zakariya tells Verywell. She says she owes back rent up to $9,100. Research from August found that 30 to 40 million people are at risk of being evicted by the end of 2020 due to high unemployment rates brought on by COVID-19....

The mask and other similar COVID-19 Halloween disguises, which aim to resemble a view of the virus under a microscope, are also currently available on eBay. The controversial masks sparked criticism from the U.K.-based Patient Association. The charity’s chief executive, Rachel Power, told The Sun: “These masks show a terrible lapse of judgment by the manufacturers and sellers, and I hope they will be removed from sale quickly.” “I’ve no doubt the great majority of people will find them hugely distasteful, and I can’t imagine that many people would wish to wear one,” she added....

Experts say hospital systems have a moral obligation to care for COVID-19 long-haulers, including their own healthcare workers who’ve put their lives on the line during the pandemic. “They’re the ones who have saved lives,” Natalie Lambert, PhD, associate research professor of medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine, tells Verywell. “And in doing so, they were exposed. So, to me, the service that they’re giving the world, and also the risk that they underwent, if they’re now experiencing these long-term health impacts, we have to support them....

While the country might not be feeling the immediate impact just yet, COVID-19 vaccination efforts improved significantly in the U.S. last week. The achievement isn’t readily apparent. As of February 23, 2021, the total number of vaccine doses distributed across the country has risen by another 10 million—an increase on par with previous weeks. And when it comes to actually getting those shots into arms, efficiency has only improved slightly; 79% of the doses delivered by the government have been administered, compared to 77% last week....

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, December 11, 2020 The Moderna vaccine, December 18, 2020 The Johnson & Johnson vaccine, February 27, 2021 The Novavax vaccine, July 13, 2022 The EUAs made these vaccines immediately available to the public. On August 23, 2021, the FDA gave full approval to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for use in people ages 16 and older. This made it the first COVID-19 vaccine to be granted FDA approval. With the approval, the vaccine is marketed under the name Comirnaty....

Demand for the vaccine will likely be higher the more it reduces infection risk and the lower the risk of side effects. A high vaccine demand is almost certain among essential workers, whose jobs put them at greater risk of infection, and among the elderly or other vulnerable populations. Past evidence suggests lower-risk populations will have less demand for a vaccine, and likely will be more sensitive to any potential side effects and therefore may wait for better safety data from large-scale vaccine adoption by higher-risk populations....
