Employee @culinaryflaire shared the scenario to TikTok in a post that has since been viewed 3.4 million times in two days. “Our boss said if any of the employees putt the ball in the cup, then we all get to leave the office early,” onscreen captions read. The video, which can be viewed here, showed employees lined up against the corridor of the office, awaiting the decision-making putt. Tensions grew as the golf ball rolled down the floor, joined with calls of support....

Many of the events depicted in the Netflix movie are taken directly from the book. Among the film setpieces that really happened are Bev Vance (Amy Adams) deliberately crashing her minivan into a telephone pole after her then-husband demanded a divorce. She also really did rollerblade through the hospital in which she worked as a nurse after stealing opioids from her patients, leading to her getting fired. One of the film’s most memorable lines, about “good Terminator, a bad Terminator or neutral” is also inspired by the book....

The Soviet plan agreed to by Iraq last week met many of Washington’s prewar objectives. But the intense emotions and military revelations that come with war can themselves create new war aims. The gulf war has proven no exception. Outraged at the brutality of Iraqi troops in Kuwait and astonished at the true scope of Iraq’s military capacity, George Bush now won’t settle for less than Saddam’s down fall. Leaders of the allied countries agree, in spades: the official Syrian newspaper Al-Thawra said, “The Iraqi Army and the Iraqi people must liquidate [Saddam] in cold blood....

The American-born Kempe worked as a NEWSWEEK correspondent in Germany, and now, 44, he is the editor of The Wall Street Journal’s European edition. But he has had to work through his own version of the German Vergangenheitsbewltigung, or “coming to terms with the past.” In his fascinating search for “the new Germany,” he finds himself circling back, again and again, to the legacy of the Third Reich. Weaving together his own family story and interviews with ordinary Germans, he finds that “even German newborns are Hitler’s Offspring,” in search of an “ersatz father” because their own had “flopped as role models....

Scientists have discovered a protein released in the early stages of the disease when tumors are most curable. It is produced by a gene named KRAS - the most frequent mutation across all tumors including lung, bowel and pancreatic. The breakthrough offers hope of a simple screening program for at-risk individuals such as older or genetically-susceptible people. It would be looking for chemical changes in fragments of genetic code that leak from tumors into the bloodstream....

Played by British actor Theo Nate, the character has become the first person of color to ride a dragon not only in this show, but also in its predecessor, Game of Thrones. The third episode saw Laenor join his father Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) and Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) in the war against the Crabfeeder. The teenager has a few lines in an earlier scene where the military leaders discuss their failing strategy in the war, but it was not until the episode where Laenor got his chance to shine....

However, Redditor u/Holdingtrue re-posted it in Reddit’s “Mildly Infuriating” forum on Sunday, where it has garnered over 30,000 upvotes and thousands of comments from users slamming the restaurant. Some also used the post as an opportunity to vent about the United States’ “abysmally low” federal minimum wage for tipped employees.

“The possibility that there is a fifth blood type/DNA there from the suspect’s blood is huge and I think that is what the FBI and ISP [Idaho State Police] went in to try and find to actually identify all the blood types,” he said during an interview with Fox News’ America’s Newsroom. The four individuals who were stabbed to death were students at the University of Idaho. They were attacked inside their off-campus home on Sunday in Moscow, a city in Idaho with 25,000 residents....

That’s not bad for a game that many initially pegged as a stopgap between last fall’s major releases and 2015’s upcoming The Legend of Zelda Wii U. Hyrule Warriors continues to impress, too, with a steady stream of DLC that expands the game while also reinforcing the title’s commitment to nostalgia and fan service. Previous DLC packs added Link’s horse, Epona, and let players control Midna and Tingle. Meanwhile, the upcoming offering lets gamers play as Link’s nemesis, Ganon, in all his monstrous glory....

Spain got their campaign started on Friday with a 3-3 draw with European champions Portugal, who needed a last-gasp Cristiano Ronaldo free-kick to salvage a point at the end of an absorbing contest. That game came just days after Lopetegui had been fired as a result of accepting a future role with Real Madrid, leaving the national team’s preparations for the tournament in crisis. Yet their performance against Portugal demonstrated how they remain a formidable force and Queiroz – whose Iran side face Spain on Wednesday – thinks the former Real Madrid defender deserves praise....

One of the questions was about the unpleasant interactions he had backstage with the WWE Superstars during his 33-year tenure in the company.

Trump’s campaign has recently received support from Black and Latino performers with both Ice Cube and Lil Wayne praising the Trump administration’s Platinum Plan, which proposes to help bridge the wealth inequity between Black and white Americans.

Safe Mode is Windows 10 running in its most stripped-down state on your home computer (opens in new tab) or laptop (opens in new tab). Many peripherals won’t work, you may be forced into a low-res graphics mode that doesn’t fit your monitor properly, and you can forget about networking (there’s a special Safe + Networking mode if you really need to get online). But Windows does boot, and you’ll be able to access the Settings app and System Restore to hopefully get your PC back on its feet again....
