But what happened when a modern Suez, in the form of the invasion of Iraq, came along in 2003? Where was a sober Britain to rein in President George W. Bush? Nowhere. Indeed, Prime Minister Tony Blair cheered Bush on in a cause they embraced with equal fervor. Suez marked a turning point in British history: the foreign-policy establishment vowed never again to be on the opposite side of the United States in an overseas crisis....

England is currently under tight lockdown restrictions, with all non-essential shops and pubs, gyms and non-elite sport shut down and people limited to only seeing one other person in outdoor settings. This is currently in place until December 2 but, some have warned, threatens to run further into December and potentially into early 2021 when a vaccine is hoped to begin its rollout.

How Breathing Works When you breathe air in, it passes through your nose or mouth, through the larynx, and into the trachea or windpipe. From your trachea, air splits off into your right and left main bronchial tubes, or right and left main bronchus. As your bronchial tubes continue to branch off and get smaller and smaller, they are referred to as bronchi and then bronchioles. Your airways terminate at the air sacs called alveoli, where the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen takes place....
Denver, which acquired the veteran quarterback from the Ravens in mid-February, was reportedly considering taking a quarterback with its first pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. But, it ultimately traded back from No. 10 to No. 20 before selecting tight end Noah Fant out of Iowa. “Our comfort with Joe enabled us to pass on a quarterback,” Elway told NBC Sports’ Peter King. “What made that decision is, Joe is fitting really well with what we want to do offensively, and he looked great in our minicamp last week....
The Broncos coach has spent parts of four decades in the NFL at some level, but throughout that time, apparently, the NFL’s racial diversity issues have been totally nonexistent.

We’re a league of meritocracy, you earn what you get, you get what you earn. I don’t see racism at all in the NFL, I don’t see discrimination in the NFL,” Fangio said, per ESPN....

His family has been there since the turn of the century, back when Mexicans came to Garden and Dodge to work on the railroads.

“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think to myself, ‘Would an idiot do that?’ And if they would, then I don’t do that,” Mayfield said, copying one of Schrute’s most famous lines from the show. Avoiding the actions of an idiot has worked for Mayfield and the 9-3 Browns a lot in 2020, including in Week 13 during a 41-35 win over the Titans.
