What do home stagers do? We prepare homes for sale. We detail the house like you detail a car. Staging isn’t decorating. Decorating is personalizing. Staging is depersonalizing. Meaning what? Declutter the house, and have it cleaned—I mean Q-tip clean!—and painted the right color: light and neutral. Use creativity. What should home-owners get rid of? Family photos, collections. Less is more. Get the clutter off the kitchen counter. Cut down on the pictures on the wall, the books on the bookcases....

Some, like Russian model Victoria Bonya, have posted videos of themselves cutting up their Chanel handbags on social media in protest against the measure. “Never seen any brand acting so disrespectful towards their clients as [Chanel],” Bonya wrote in her post. Chanel is one of several companies, including Zara and Puma, that have decided to cut business ties with Russia amid its war with Ukraine. The decision not to sell to Russians came after Chanel closed all of its boutiques in Russia, the Associated Press reported....

First off, the current president, Joe Biden, has not ruled out seeking re-election. Though up in years, Biden is overseeing a functional presidency. The economy is boffo. And he got passed a desperately needed infrastructure plan that eluded his predecessor, forceful tweets notwithstanding. Such a program, Donald Trump tweeted in March 2020, “should be VERY BIG & BOLD, Two Trillion Dollars, and be focused solely on jobs and rebuilding the once great infrastructure of our Country!...

Although not an international leader in the advancement of LGBTQ+ rights, Ukraine has taken significant steps over the past decade to better the lives of its queer citizens. In 2015 it implemented anti-discrimination employment laws, and in 2016 it began allowing gay and bisexual men to donate blood, all part of an effort to become a more equitable state. In contrast, Russia has moved in the opposite direction. In 2013, it banned same-sex couples from adopting Russian children, and in 2020 it outlawed same-sex marriage....

BA.2 has become a major focus after rising rapidly in certain countries, particularly Denmark, where it now accounts for the vast majority of new cases and has outcompeted the previous Omicron sub-type BA.1, which has been the most common type worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). As of February 1, BA.2 had been found in just over 200 U.S. COVID cases from at least 30 states, according to Outbreak....

A popular explanation for the surge of strikeouts is that hitters are taking a more patient approach at the plate, trying to work pitch counts to get into the soft underbellies of opposing bullpens. One would think that this also would lead to an increase in walk rates, because hitters are getting into deeper counts, but walk rates have actually dipped from their peak of 3.80 per nine innings in 2000....

Archer is widely expected to replace James Anderson, who was restricted to just four overs in Australia’s first Test win at Edgbaston because of a calf problem, in the England attack. England had Australia 122-8 even without Anderson but the tourists recovered to post 284 thanks to the first of two centuries from Steve Smith, who frustrated the depleted hosts and inspired a brilliant comeback. Australia are now set to be faced with the raw pace of Archer, one of England’s heroes from the Cricket World Cup, but Cummins indicated it is not a challenge that will daunt Tim Paine’s men....

Needing a win to draw the series having already missed out on regaining the urn, England began day three with an advantage of 78 at The Oval. Denly, whose wife gave birth to their second child on Friday, was the talisman for the hosts as they pressed home that advantage, the right-hander confident and fluent in compiling the highest score of his brief Test career. The opener stuck 14 fours and a six and combined with Ben Stokes (67) for a crucial third-wicket partnership of 127 to take away any realistic chance the tourists had of winning the match....

England and Australia resume their famous rivalry at Edgbaston on Thursday, the first of five Tests in a packed seven-week schedule as the hosts aim to build upon their breathless triumph over New Zealand at Lord’s with another memorable success in the longest format. Root was England’s leading runs scorer as Eoin Morgan’s men lifted the trophy, comfortably dispatching Australia in the semi-finals en route to glory. But the 28-year-old is captain once again for Test duties, as he was when Australia took back possession of the urn with a 4-0 win on home soil 18 months ago....

Sporting a mile-wide smile wherever he sauntered in his torpid gait, Nehra managed to outlive several pacers of his generation with sheer determination, digging out enough motivation to return from exhausting surgeries and excruciating injuries. His journey could have been branded as a career of ‘could-haves’, but Nehra never seemed to bother, so much so, that he made us not bother. He became the butt of jokes on social media, but couldn’t care less, once quipping that he didn’t possess a cell phone to even go through the jokes....

Just like 2008, the last Asia Cup they participated in, Hong Kong have their task cut out, being in the same group as Pakistan and India.

They flattered to deceive against Pakistan but will be itching for a much better showing against India, who are Virat Kohli-less for the tournament....
