  For two and a half glorious years, I had the pleasure of living on the gorgeous island of Koh Samui, Thailand. To this day, I consider it my favorite place I’ve ever been to on earth (so far). There are so many pros to living on Koh Samui, but, of course, there are some challenges as well. Some of the pros might seem obvious, but when spending time in a foreign country, it’s important not to be blinded by the magical appeal. The cons of living in Koh Samui should always be considered, especially if you plan on staying…

With Ravindra Jadeja, Ashwin formed India’s most effective bowling partnership, with 500-plus wickets bowling as a pair. Jadeja is a nice contrast – steady, quick, chipping away, the straight man to Ashwin’s varied expressions. In some ways, the pair they displaced, Anil Kumble-Harbhajan Singh, had similar temperaments.

House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) disclosed the threat publicly and demanded President Joe Biden declassify the information. As reported by The Political Insider, Turner’s claims received some pushback, more so on the timing of the news than perhaps the substance. Reports have surfaced suggesting that the threat in question concerns “Russia wanting to put a nuclear weapon into space” to disrupt satellites. But speculation rose suggesting Turner…

While there is a long list of challenges that the health care sector must overcome, there is reason to believe that through AI, we are on the cusp of a great era of discovery that could fundamentally change the field of medicine. In pharmaceutical research and development (R&D), AI is already delivering on its potential. AI and data analytics are driving breakthroughs that enable us to predict patient responses, increase the likelihood of clinical…

  Let’s take a look at a few of the comments after Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu squared off in a 3-point shooting contest on Saturday night, Curry topping the Liberty star by just 3 points, 29-26, both shooting from the NBA arc. Which NFL Bros reign supreme? Watt or Kelce? “I didn’t back down from the challenge and going up against the best shooter this game has ever seen,” Ionescu told Malika Andrews. “She wasn’t afraid of the moment she wasn’t afraid of the stage and she backed it up,” Curry said. And then… “She should have shot from…
