Some bars are actually opening early on the hearings days so patrons can play drinking games, such as taking a gulp every time a Republican congressperson says “no quid pro quo.” And some bars have concocted impeachment-themed libations. Not surprisingly, most of them are in Washington, D.C. Duffy’s Irish Pub, Washington, D.C. Not only is Duffy’s opening early during the impeachment hearings—after all, this is like the World Series for political junkies and Trump loathers—but it’s offering two impeachment-themed drinks for the occasion....

In a post shared on Mumsnet on Wednesday, the woman, who goes by the username Silverbirch123, explained that lately, her husband has started using the ladies’ bathroom when he’s out with their 3-year-old daughters after experiencing some inappropriate situations in the men’s room. “The reason he says, for this is that the mens toilets are usually really grotty. He went somewhere a couple of weeks ago where there was only 1 cubicle, and several men using the urinals....

In a post shared on Mumsnet on Tuesday, the woman, under the username PaganQueen, explained that her, “massively cheating, lying, sly, unkind, manipulative pathetic excuse for a husband,” to whom she was married for 15 years, cheated on her for a large part of their marriage with his current partner. She made the unwelcome discovery through a friend she met after the divorce, who used to work in a pub where PaganQueen’s husband used to meet his lover....

Ryan Abbott is set to take on a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.22-mile run next month, but he won’t be able to breathe through his mouth. He will start the 140.6-mile challenge by swimming—wearing a snorkel adapted to prevent him from breathing through his mouth. Abbott will then cycle along the canal from Leeds to Liverpool in England, and then finish his challenge by running along the canal....

Ronaldo failure could make Man Utd laughing stock again The Stoke City forward posted a picture on Twitter with some fellow tall creatures, calling them his “family”. One Twitter user declared Crouch “just won Twitter” shortly after he posted on the social media site. At 6-foot-7, Crouch is closer in height to a giraffe than most Premier League players, but he still required the use of an elevated platform to look his friends in the face....

A district court in Florida had dismissed the girl’s negligence lawsuit against Royal Caribbean over the 2015 incident for failure to state a claim, ruling that she had not sufficiently alleged the operator had breached its duty of care and proximately caused her injuries. But that decision was reversed on Wednesday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which concluded her claims were, in fact, sufficient to allege that Royal Caribbean was negligent towards her....

One of the complaints received in November involved an individual who claimed that they applied for a position that was posted on the job listing website Indeed. The individual said that the company was recruiting a Trading Assistant who would start off on a probationary period of 30 days to complete orders worth nearly $32,000....

When Chris Williamson, a student from Manchester, Georgia, put $20 into cryptocurrency Rocket Bunny, he didn’t expect to become a trillionaire overnight. Yet, temporarily at least, that appeared to be what happened. The nursing school student had dabbled in cybercurrencies for around eight months and invested in the currency on June 15. On June 16, its value had soared to more than $1.4 trillion. When Newsweek spoke with Williamson on Monday, it was worth $167 trillion....

Castillo's scouting report? "He's still got it," Castillo told Tommy Birch of the Des Moines (Iowa) Register on Wednesday. Castillo is in Des Moines for rehab games with the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate. We already knew that Ramirez can still hit the ball a long way. We'll see what he has once he begins his new job as a player-coach in Iowa.

Technically he’s been re-hired. The 12-time All-Star spent last season as a player-coach with Chicago’s Triple-A Iowa team. Players reportedly had a lot of praise for Ramirez so the Cubs decided to expand his duties. According to the team’s relase, Ramirez will work with the team’s major and minor league hitters on the fundamental and mental aspects of hitting. In addition to Ramirez, the team also hired former MLB player Kevin Youkilis as a scouting and player development consultant....

Eric Wedge (AP Photo The Cubs are looking to replace Dale Sveum, who was 127-197 over two seasons.

The New Yorker magazine published a scathing article in May 2018 which laid out four women’s claims of sexual abuse at the hands of Schneiderman, a report which led to his resignation within hours. The Cuomo administration responded to the story about the self-proclaimed champion of women’s rights by immediately calling for his resignation from office. Citing a “damning patter of facts and corroboration laid out in the article,” Cuomo joined several state leaders in pushing for Schneiderman to resign....

Cyber insurance is not going to protect your data per se. What it might do in the near future is to reduce the incidences of data theft or more specifically Ransomware attacks. However, it is not as simple as it sounds. Presumably, there would be a lot of paper work and evaluations involved before you can get your data insured. To begin with, cyber insurance is an insurance explicitly for data theft, damage or loss....
