Several days into the trial of Oath Keeper Jeremy Brown, it continues to provide useful lessons for the case of that other disgruntled former Federal employee who took classified documents home to Florida with him.In a motion in limine submitted yesterday, the government sought to preclude Brown from taking the stand and explaining why he took one of the classified documents he is accused of storing in his RV.

The deepest, darkest corners of my tiny apartment freezer are where good intentions go to die.Because I am frequently cooking for just one or two people, I often have a ton of leftovers, especially little odds and ends, that I just can't bear to throw into the trash.As such, I'm forever sticking a container of uneaten beans or a single chicken breast into the freezer, never to be seen again.

Germany has finally decided to send its coveted Leopard 2 battle tanks to the Ukrainian frontlines, German news magazine Der Spiegel first reported Tuesday, though a formal announcement has yet to be made.The about turn comes as U.S. officials revealed this week that the Biden administration also plans to shed its prior reluctance and begin to supply tanks to Ukraine.

It's the question many of us ask ourselves: why don't I exercise more, eat better food and generally lead a healthier lifestyle?For many who want to, but just can't seem to make it happen, it turns out the answer to that question is feeling just too tired.A survey has found that tiredness is why 35% of people don't make the changes to their diet and physical activity levels that would help them close the gap between good intentions and concrete action.

Frank Lampard says Chelsea's recent poor results reflects "the reality" of where the club is and it will take time to turn things around.New owner Todd Boehly has spent £600m on new players this season, only for performances to get worse.Lampard has lost all his six games in charge, with the midweek defeat at Arsenal leaving them on course for their lowest finish since 1996.

I remember being so excited for one of my first promotions.It was my very first time becoming a manager, overseeing a team, and finally evolving from doing all of the work to directing some of it.And like many first-time managers, I had no idea that I was actually not prepared to lead.According to the Center for Creative Leadership, more than 25% of first-time managers acknowledged that they were not ready to lead others.

After a three-game skid, the Washington Capitals hoped a change of scenery would revitalize the team as they faced the Carolina Hurricanes at NC State's Carter-Finley Stadium.That did not happen.Instead, the Caps must now reckon with a four-game losing streak during which they have not held a lead.Following their 4-1 loss to the Canes on Saturday night, Capitals players and head coach Peter Laviolette spoke to the media and tried to explain what went wrong and what this team needs to do moving forward.

BERLIN  At a moment when Germany's allies seek reassurance and leadership, even its closest partners wonder aloud about its commitment to European solidarity.Although Germany has long been Europe's de facto leader, it has been slow to provide serious military equipment to Ukraine.It has also subsidized its own citizens' energy bills while working to water down a price cap on gas that could alleviate pain in poorer countries of the European Union.

I'm afraid my introduction to you all will quickly turn into somewhat of a cliche being Canadian .Let me explain.You know what it's like.You are watching a YouTube video on the latest and greatest tutorials (Yeah, I was also engulfed in the flames of tutorial hell).Then it happens... commercial!Arghhhh!

During the pandemic, the rich saw their ranks swell as stock markets soared even as low-income workers returned to work and blue collar jobs were hollowed out.The upshot is that for the first time in three decades, extreme poverty and extreme wealth across the world have gone up at the same time.As the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum opens in Davos, Oxfam has shown that the gaps are yawning wider: the four richest Britons now have more wealth than 20 million compatriots.

I once attended a university course in Uppsala on the history of racism within a Swedish context.Over the course of several months, I learned about Sweden's involvement in colonial enterprises through the establishment of colonies in the West Indies as well as through international trade.
