Often times, that staff member will be parlaying such success into a head coaching job elsewhere. This seems the case again with our winner — Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. If he is hired by San Francisco as expected — a second interview that should seal the deal was scheduled — the honor is well deserved based upon the overall body of work the 37-year-old Shanahan has compiled during coordinator stints with Atlanta (2015-2016), Cleveland (2014), Washington (2010-2013) and Houston (2008-2009)....

Surprise: A big smile, with popping eyes, indicates a positive surprise. Something unexpected but unpleasant yields the eye-pop only. Either way, a short-lived state. Interest: A calm voice and positive body language–leaning forward, for example–signal the genuine article. It’s a real desire to hear a partner’s opinion, not an attempt to influence. Anger: The tone is cold or loud, the wording staccato. But honest anger, an internal state, is different from contempt, directed at the spouse....

Organizers of Recall Gavin 2020 and Rescue California cited several reasons why Newsom has “failed Californians,” including rising unemployment, homelessness, high taxes, a rise in crime, lack of affordable housing, a failure to enforce immigration laws and his move to “overrule the will of the people regarding the death penalty.” Rescue California is a political committee that also aided in the recall of California Governor Gray Davis in 2003.

Obama did say small-town Americans could be “bitter,” and that they “cling to guns” and religion and other traditions....

War Child UK is a charity organization that specializes in providing refuge and education to kids caught up in conflicts across the globe.

The Brazilian predicament was once unimaginable. Brazil is the winningest team in World Cup history, the only nation to have contested every tournament since the first back in 1930 (hosted and won by Uruguay). Brazil won the 1994 World Cup played here in the United States, then went to the 1998 Finals in France behind its gifted, young scoring star Ronaldo, whom many regarded as the most talented player, in a lustrous array, to wear the yellow-and-blue since the immortal Pele....

Beijing was another engine of bright aspiration, from the Miracle Love Studio where flight attendant Liu Ying, 29, and pilot Mu Xiaobin, 26, were having wedding photos taken, to the beauty parlor where makeup artist Jin Rui, 24, says China is getting “stronger and stronger.” Spirits seemed to ebb with advancing age and, more ominously, with distance from the prosperous coast.

Later, as the virus spread, government officials dismissed it as the scourge of criminals and social deviants....
