Paris (AFP) - Northern Ireland's Gareth McAuley scored a heart-breaking own goal to hand British rivals Wales a 1-0 victory in Paris on Saturday that sent them into the Euro 2016 quarter-finals.

I hate cover letters.
They're long. They're boring. Unlike résumés, you can't just blast them out to multiple companies with minimal editing.
I always feel like mine sound super fake, even when I am genuinely excited about the job.
But when I was applying for jobs in my senior year of college, I did my best to shake my bad attitude by researching what makes a bomb cover letter.
A lot of the advice I got — on the internet and from people I know ... Читать дальше...

Blake Lively in The Shallows.
Columbia Pictures
There's no danger of Blake Lively getting an Academy Award for The Shallows, a fantastically flighty movie in which her character spends most of the time trapped on a rock in the ocean a few hundred yards from a remote beach in Mexico.

So why does this happen? We asked Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, author of “On Repeat: How Music Plays the Mind”... Читать дальше...
