Each cranial nerve has a specific set of functions. Some of the cranial nerves control sensation, some control muscle movement, and some have both sensory and motor effects. Several of the cranial nerves run through bones in the skull. The cranial nerves can become temporarily or chronically impaired as a result of illness, infection, inflammation, or head trauma. This article gives an overview of each pair of cranial nerves, including its anatomy, location, functions, and related conditions....

As reported by CBS New York, the accident took place around 4:30 p.m. on an I-78 entrance ramp in Newark. The semi truck reportedly overturned, pushing the Toyota Corolla off the road on its way down. The driver of the Toyota, a man in his 50s, was then trapped inside his vehicle, says ABC7 New York. Newark firefighters soon arrived at the scene and removed the man from his car within an hour....

Based on a story conceived by George Lucas, the original film starred Warwick Davis as Willow Ufgood, a farmer and aspiring sorcerer who reluctantly takes in a lost baby girl named Elora Danan, whom his children discovered floating down the river. However, Willow embarks on a dangerous journey to bring Elora to responsible humans after his village is attacked by agents of the evil Queen Bavmorda, who believes the child is destined to bring about her downfall....

Chrissy Costanza and Cailin Russo gave the vocals for Phoenix that was released at the start of Worlds 2019. The video of the song features professional League players Lee “Faker“ Sang-hyeok, Song “Rookie“ Eui-jin & Rasmus “Caps“ Borregaard Winther and their struggles in the past. The video closely followed the journey of all three players and their shortcomings in previous iterations. Interestingly, all three players made it to the semi-finals of the tournament with their respective teams....

The current NBA logo, created by Alan Siegel, has been in circulation by the league since 1969, and features Jerry West, a former Laker player who later served different stints as a scout, coach and general manager for the team. But calls to change the logo have increased since Bryant and seven others, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant, were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Sunday....

A bill in the state legislature would allow designated sites in the state to conduct open air cremations—a funeral ritual that dates back thousands of years but has largely disappeared from the modern-day United States. There are actually two sites in the U.S. where open-air cremation is allowed, both of which are in Colorado, the Sun Journal reported. Only one of these sites is open to the public and is limited to conducting no more than a dozen funeral every year....

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia will start as favourites to reclaim the Ashes over the next seven weeks if only because of their home advantage but picking the winners in cricket’s oldest test rivalry has become a fool’s game in recent years. England pitched up bristling with confidence on their last tour Down Under in 2013 and were promptly whitewashed, while Australia’s touring swagger in 2015 was pricked when they lost three of the first four tests and had to hand over the urn....

The hosts rested all-rounder Hardik Pandya for the ongoing three-test series against their neighbours which remains tied after the drawn series opener in Kolkata. With paceman Bhuvneshwar Kumar released from the side over personal reasons, the team added 26-year-old Shankar into the squad for the remaining two tests. “Obviously, Hardik is in our scheme of things as the first all-rounder but we need to find more people who have that kind of ability, who we can groom and make a back-up for the all-rounder’s spot which is very crucial when we travel abroad,” Kohli told reporters....

LONDON (Reuters) - England captain Joe Root fell for 190 before a sparkling fifty from Stuart Broad lifted England to 458 all out on the second day of the first test against South Africa at Lord’s on Friday. South Africa openers Dean Elgar and Heino Kuhn safely negotiated four overs before lunch to take South Africa to 10 for no wicket in reply. Root, resuming on 184 in his first match as skipper, nibbled at a delivery from Morne Morkel and nicked a catch to wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock but the 26-year-old right-hander received a standing ovation as he walked back to the pavilion....

Gayle was criticised by one and all recently for making inappropriate remarks to the presenter live on air after a BBL game. The Jamaican plays for the Melbourne Renegades in the T20 competition. He was speaking to Channel 10 presenter Mel McLaughlin. Gayle told McLaughlin, “I wanted to come and have an interview with you as well, that’s the reason why I’m here. To see your eyes for the first time....

Prior to this tournament, West Indies had long gone into decline. Their tour of Australia just before the World Cup was, to mildly put it, an embarrassment. Add to that the in-fighting between Brian Lara and the captain Richie Richardson and the Windies were not expected to come so far. More so after they were handed a shock defeat by Kenya in their very first World Cup campaign – chasing a modest 160, West Indies were bundled out for 93....

Mithali achieved the feat when she guided the fourth ball of the 29th over bowled by Ellyse Perry to the fielder at covers for a single. Three balls later, she hoisted Kristen Beams over her head to become the first women to reach the 6000-run mark in ODIs. She also notched up her 49th ODI fifty later in the match before she was eventually dismissed for 69. Extra cover: Mithali Raj becomes all-time leading run-scorer in women’s ODIs...

Australia, however, tasted defeat against their Trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand in the absence of their de facto leader Steve Smith. The Proteas avenged their T20 series loss to Sri Lanka by steamrolling the visitors in the first three ODIs. And as always selecting five players was a tough job, but it helps to be objective sometimes and nothing counts more in terms of objectivity than your contribution to the team’s win....

When federal prosecutors indicted 22 members of the Leija Sánchez counterfeit ID organization in Chicago last April, they described the arrests as “a significant setback” to one of the largest criminal enterprises of its kind ever to operate in the United States. But they made no mention of Suad Leija and the remarkable tale of how her marriage to an undercover American agent and her choice of country over family led to the downfall of the fake-document ring....

Snoop Doggy Dogg is not everyone’s idea of a role model. Born Calvin Broadus 22 years ago in Long Beach, Calif, he is by all accounts the fastest-rising star in the music world. Before he even released a record, he’d appeared on the cover of three major music magazines. When his debut album, “Doggystyle,” hits the stores this Tuesday, it is expected to be among the fastest-selling recordings in history....

It hasn’t always been this way. I grew up in an era when the narrative was defined by justice and due process, and when singular truth and absolute facts mattered above all else. Today, opinion pieces seem to make far more noise online than matter-of-fact journalism. It seems as though opinions are often treated as breaking news. As a result, I’ve observed a crossbred system in which legal justice appears to go hand-in-hand with popular (social) justice....

This isn’t an uncommon thought and it is one that has been shared and pondered by many fans and pundits as Real Madrid’s season has gone from bad to worse, and despite only being in early March, their campaign is essentially over. Real Madrid are out of the Champions League for the first time since 2015, what’s even more alarming is that this is the first time since the 2010/11 season that Los Blancos failed to reach the semi-finals of the continental competition....

In a story about the 2021 Ballon d’Or, which takes place in a Paris gala on Monday, Pascal Ferre said that Ronaldo has “only one ambition”: to win more player of the year awards than his long-time rival for the biggest awards in global football. “Ronaldo has only one ambition, and that is to retire with more Ballons d’Or than Messi,” Ferre told The New York Times , “and I know that because he has told me....

Ronaldo has been a key performer for Real this season having scored 14 goals and registered five assists in his 18 La Liga appearances so far. But a recent incident with the fans, in which Ronaldo was jeered after missing a penalty, had brought a lot of insecurity to the Portuguese international’s future with the Spanish giants. Talking ahead of his first game in charge as manager of Real against Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday, Zidane responded to the rumours linking Ronaldo to his former club Manchester United and PSG, ““He is more than unsaleable, he is the soul of this team and symbol of Madridismo....
