Why? Apparently, it’s because she has dealt with “misogynistic perverts” in the sport and doesn’t want to be exploited by them. Groves originally made her announcement on Instagram but took to Twitter to call out the people who “body shame or medically gaslight” young women and girls in swimming.

Created by L.L. McKinney, author of the Nightmare-Verse series that began with 2018’s A Blade So Black, the hashtag #PublishingPaidMe has already revealed apparent pay differences in the money initially offered to black authors versus their white counterparts. “There’s a difference between knowing and knowing, right?” McKinney told Newsweek in response to emailed questions. “We expected there to be disparities. We expected there to be large disparities. But the gap is miles wide....

Results also showed that people are still under the impression that eating healthy means eating food that doesn’t taste good, but is good for their bodies (59 percent) and mostly eating fruits or veggies (39 percent)....

Avoiding Too Much Filler If you want to rejuvenate your face with fillers, it’s your choice. But don’t let your practitioner go overboard. Remember, you are the one who has to wear your face out in public. A subtle change is best. Plump does not necessarily equal youthful. An overinflated face never duplicates the face one had in youth. Over-plumped faces look odd, something just doesn’t look quite right. Have a mirror in hand when getting your injections done so that you can let your healthcare provider know when enough is enough....

According to WJLA, the incident occurred in Ocean City, Maryland just before 3:00 p.m. on the Route 90 bridge. Upon arrival, authorities found several people injured while one of the vehicles teetered over the bridge’s guardrail, tenuously balanced on its edge. In a statement posted on Facebook, the Ocean City Fire Department wrote that “a Good Samaritan immediately jumped over the guardrail and into the bay, rescuing the infant.”...

The recall, announced on Monday, is for infant formula products that were sold under the brands: HiPP, Holle, Bioland and Kendamil. The FDA said the formula contains insufficient amounts of iron, particularly for infants born prematurely or with a low birth weight, those who had low iron levels at birth or those who are at risk of being iron deficient due to illness. While Kendamil is among the brands listed in the announcement, the company’s products do contain iron within the FDA’s required range....

The snake was found in October and near propane tanks on a warehouse loading dock, per The Charlotte Observer, before it was captured by Marissa Maki of Rattlesnake Solutions, an Arizona-based snake removal and rattlesnake control company. Maki told McClatchy News she knew it was a non-native rattlesnake immediately. “After getting a better look, I was able to identify it as a timber rattlesnake, which I had never seen before,” Maki said....

Leave it up to Earle, though, to find a glitch. Nothing in his world has ever been perfect. He reads the caption next to the guitar, and a little while later, he wanders back and reads it again. His mood goes from upbeat to agitated. “They got some s— wrong here,” he gripes. “I wonder who wrote this crap. ‘Scaled-down model of the Gibson Everly Brothers’ model.’ It’s a lot bigger than an Everly Brothers model....

Our resident angry man and star of SMH has had it up to here with the entitlement shown towards some players - and Borussia Dortmund can get back in their boxes, too! Check out the latest episode of SMH above.

The windows were smashed. The front door and a brass door leading into the lobby of the office building that sat on top of the store both lay flat on the floor. Inside, his equipment was buried in what looked like a half foot of ash. Three firemen were spread out on the floor, asleep. They and their brethren had obviously been using Continental Shoe Repair as a relief station....

“I’ve been traveling all over the country, the president’s been all over the country,” Trump told an enthusiastic crowd in Maine Monday morning before heading to another event in Pennsylvania in the afternoon. Pence has plans for two campaign rallies a day nearly every day this week. “I think it’s in stark contrast to what we’re seeing out of the Harris-Biden campaign and the limited travel and events that they’re doing,” Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short told Newsweek and other media outlets during a campaign call Monday....

Upon seeing Lozano’s boot in the box and consulting his assistant, Marrufo blew his whistle for a penalty, which Giovani dos Santos converted to give Mexico a lead. Frustratingly for New Zealand, the All Whites found an equalizer, but that penalty would come back to haunt them after Marco Fabian found a second for Mexico to give them the win.

Kedah midfielder Baddrol Bakhtiar has dedicated their semi-final Malaysia Cup win over Felda United to the late Sultan of Kedah, Tuanku Alhaj Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah.

NEWSWEEK: How did you get into cakes? Duff Goldman: My sophomore year in college I went into the nicest restaurant in Baltimore and I was like hey, I want to be a chef. The executive chef looked over my résumé—and it was all pizza places and greasy spoons—and she was like, so basically, you don’t know anything. She said: “Tell you what, why don’t you come in one day a week and bake cornbread and biscuits for me....

Cleveland, locked into a fully guaranteed contract with pricey franchise QB replacement Deshaun Watson, has lacked a sense of urgency in moving Mayfield since free agency began in March. Meanwhile, Mayfield should have little desire to remain and practice with the team when training camp opens in late July. The Browns added journeyman Jacoby Brissett with the thought he would fill in as the starter should Watson be suspended for several games this season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy....

The former Browns quarterback not only accepted a roughly $3.5 million pay cut from his 2022 base salary just to get out of Cleveland, but also must engage in awkward meetings with Panthers receiver Robbie Anderson and offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo. Both Anderson and McAdoo have made less-than-flattering comments about the No. 1 overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft. Now, their personal success in 2022 may hinge on someone who has good reason to feel slighted by what they said about him....
