Love him or hate him, Conor McGregor sure is entertaining.

The Notorious has become one of the biggest names in mixed martial arts thanks to his hisswagger and incredible fighting skills. And his knockout ability has claimed some of the biggest names in the sport, including Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 to claim the lightweight title.

So how exactly does McGregor do it? If youre good at reading dashes, youll get a kick out of his answer during a recent interview with GQ.

Its all in the n. Its all in the b s. I just have confidence that comes from my big b s, and I know when I smack you, youre going down, he told GQ. And thats it.

Well, thats quite the description.

That answer came after he described his knockout ability when it comes to his rivalry with Nate Diaz.

No ones work is clean like my work, McGregor said. My shots are clean. My shots are precise. Look at Nate. Nate was 200 pounds. When I hit him down, it was exactly like if a sniper took aim at someone in between their eyeballs and let the thing rip. The way he dropped, it was like a sack of s. So thats a power I have.

Of course, thats not exactly how it went the first time when Diaz shockingly beat McGregor, but point taken.

Just something else for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to ponder if their super fight ever happens.

Eliza Minnick hasnt made the best first impression at Grey Sloan.

Not only did Minnick (Marika Dominczyk) basically oust Richard (James Pickens Jr) as the head of the surgical residency program, but she also essentially got Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) suspended. So when Minnick implements Phase 2 of her teaching methods during Thursdays episode of Greys Anatomy, the doctors of Grey Sloan wont take it very well. EW turned to Dominczyk to get the scoop:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Eliza is implementing her next phase of teaching. What does that entail? MARIKA DOMINCZYK: That entails 100 percent using Elizas method, which means the residents get to go to work and the attendings are way more hands-off. Its going to be like a real trial of this method that Eliza believes is tried and true, and the only way to move the hospital forward.

How will the attendings take to the next phase? Theyre not going to like it. Its going to take a little bit of arm twisting to get there. Not many of them like Eliza.

What is it like for you to play a character who is so universally hated right now? Its so funnybecause,honestly, I dont look at it that way. As an actor, its so much fun to play this character for me, because Im not like Eliza, Im not Type-A. Im not Eliza, so as an actor, its been the best and so fun to walk in and do this. Greys has such an enormous fanbase that I wasnt aware of. I take it all with a grain of salt. I look at Twitter. I feel like it would be so boring if you just loved everybody all the time. Thats my personal opinion. I think its fun and I think she shakes it up a bit.

Do I think that her social graces are on point? Not necessarily. [Laughs] Would I behave the way she does? I wouldnt. But, at the end of the day, shes doing it because she super believes that her way is the best way. She got hired to do this job and shes going to do it. Eliza said, Im not here to make friends, and she believes that. Would she like to make friends? Im sure. She cant right nowbecause her No. 1 goal is to do the job she was hired for. Unfortunately, thats not a job people like her having.

Is she finding any other allies at the hospital? She kind of finds an ally slowly. It goes a little bit back and forth. Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) has been in her corner sort of, kind of. Edwards (Jerrika Hinton) really likes her there. The people that want to learn and progress have been a little more open than some others, but its still like treadingwater. Its been slow trying to get people on her side.

Do you think she can ever win the doctors over? I dont know if she can. Just like with the fans, theres so much history, I think theres so much history on the show within the hospital. I dont know if they would all be like a kumbaya, love Eliza [situation]. Shes the type of character thats not for everybody. Her bedside manner is not the best, so I dont know. I hope so.

Eliza clearly has feelings for Arizona, so whats that challenge like for her because shes hated by the doctors who side with Richard (James Pickens Jr.)? Does she feel like theres any hope for a relationship with Arizona? I think she does, and thats part of her appeal and part of why people dont like her, because she doesnt get it. For her, work is just work and this is what happens at work; people may or may not like it. When shes not at work, shes just who she is and likes who she likes, but not everybody operates that way; not everybody can separate the two. Eliza is the kind of character that believes that she can separate the two, so its no big deal. She doesnt think about maybe how others dont operate the same way.

Stay tuned after Thursdays episode for more from Dominczyk on whats next for Eliza and Arizona.Greys Anatomy airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

We at the Hull Daily Mail have been thinking about what makes the perfect Hull City player.

So we selected ten attributes and the idea was to name the player with the best; first touch, passing, finishing, tackling, heading, power, character, intelligence, leadership and speed.

Throw them all together and collectively you have the perfect Tiger.

To get us started football writer Will Jackson names his perfect player from the current squad and we want to hear from you about who you think would go onto the perfect City player of all time. For the next week we'll be opening the voting to find out who you think is the City player who has been the best passer of a ball that you've ever seen, or who is the quickest.

To whet your appetite for that, take a look at our perfect City player using the current squad.

First touch: Sam Clucas An unsung hero, Clucas has the ability to run a game on his day, and a cracking first touch is where that all starts.

Passing: Tom Huddlestone A candidate for a few of these categories but Huddlestone's passing is arguably the best we have ever seen in a Hull City shirt.

Finishing: Abel Hernandez When he's fit and firing, Hernandez is potent in front of goal, scoring 20 goals for Steve Bruce's Hull City last season.

Tackling: Harry Maguire 'Arry has become a cult hero at City and it's easy to see why. He doesn't take any nonsense at the back, tackling anything that moves.

More news: How do City compare in relegation battle? We ask the experts

Heading: Andrea Ranocchia The Italian is 6'5'' and it tells, dominating aerial challenges. He doesn't give strikers a sniff in the air.

Power: Alfred N'Diaye He's huge. From his bullying performances we have seen so far, this guy does not lack strength.

Character: Eldin Jakupovic Never seen a character like him. His enthusiasm is infectious and I'm sure that spreads throughout the team.

Intelligence: Curtis Davies He reads the game well, and rarely has a bad game. Also a candidate for a lot of these categories.

Leadership: Michael Dawson A true leader and fundamental to have at the back. He could have almost single handedly dragged the Tigers back up last season.

Speed: Moses Odubajo A toss up between him and Kamil Grosicki, but the right back nicks it out of sheer loyalty.

More news: Paul Merson refusing to change his mind about Hull City

What makes up the anatomy of the perfect Hull City player? - Hull Daily Mail

FAISALABAD:The best way to teach modern anatomy is by combing multiple pedagogical resources to complement one another. Students appear to learn more effectively when multi-modal and system-based approaches are integrated.

This was said by experts while speaking at a national workshop on teaching and research techniques in anatomy organised by Department of Anatomy, University of Agriculture on Wednesday. The inaugural session was chaired by UAF Vice-Chancellor Dr Iqrar Ahmad Khan.

The experts said not a single teaching tool had been found to meet curriculum requirements of anatomy.

The limitation on time, trained faculty and resources for gross anatomy courses in integrated and system based curricula, have led many medical and veterinary schools to abandon costly and time consuming decision based instructions in favour of alternative methods of instructions, including prosection, medical imaging, living anatomy and multimedia resources, the experts opined.

UAF Vice-Chancellor Dr Iqrar Ahmad Khan said UAF was taking all possible measures to produce trained manpower by ensuring quality education in the country.

He said the UAF used to organise such events to raise awareness among the masses about different issues. Dean Veterinary Sciences Dr Ahrar Khan said poverty alleviation was directly linked to the agriculture and livestock sector. He said the UAF had produced 3,000 doctors and 120 PhDs in veterinary sciences so far.

Promoting quality education: 'Use of innovative methods key in teaching anatomy' - The Express Tribune

When Greys Anatomy" executive producers Joan Rater and Tony Phelanleft the ABC medical soap to launch their own legal drama, they knew there was at least one aspect of the former series that they wanted to carry over to the new one: the sense of never knowing who is going to come through the door.

Doubt, the new CBS procedural from the wife-and-husband team, is set in a New York boutique law firm that takes on risky social justice cases.

Like in 'Grey's, you never know who will come in needing help, Phelan said. We wanted a show about people who were from various socioeconomic backgrounds. That was really important to us.

The series, which premieres Wednesday, stars Katherine Heigl as Sadie Ellis, a defense attorneywho becomespersonally involved with her latest case and client,played by Steven Pasquale (Rescue Me). The cast is rounded out by Elliott Gould, the chief of the law firm, and Laverne Cox, Dule Hill, Dreama Walker and Kobi Libii, all of whom play lawyers. Cox, it merits noting, is the first-ever transgender actor to play a transgender character in a series regular role on broadcast TV.

Doubt is somewhat inspired by ABCs late 90s-early 00s legal drama, The Practice, which Rater and Phelan devotedly watched early in their relationship.

We really enjoyed watching that show, Rater said, sitting next to her husband at a hotel bar in Pasadena on a recent weekday.We wanted to see more criminal defense lawyers; we wanted to get to know the defendants more...

Doubt attempts to explore the best and worst of the criminal justice system, looking at those who are criminalized and those who are committed to defending them. The imperfections of Americas penal system is an area of focus in which Hollywood has shown growing interest. In addition to HBOs 2016 limited seriesThe Night Of, a number of projects out of Sundance this year also investigate the imperfections of law and order.

The more we can see that people who are in prison are people with families and with dreams and aspirations, I think, is enlightening, Phelan said. Are we, as a country, really about reform and rehabilitation? Or are we about putting people away and throwing away the key and just getting them out of society? And if we are about that, let's just be honest about that. But if we are really about reform and rehabilitation, how do we do that?

The main case to which viewers are introduced involves Billy Brennan (Pasquale), a plastic surgeon who is facing conviction for the first-degree murder of his former girlfriend, who was killed two decades prior. Things grow complicated as the relationship between Billy and Ellisbecomes more intimate.

A similar attorney-client progression in The Night Of came under fire, with critics chiding it as a misguided development.Phelan and Rater say there's something to be said about that kind of intimacy.

The lawyers almost become a lifeline, so inmates develop this, sort of, dependence, Rater said. Sadie knows everything about Billy. They've spent all of this time together and they're both flawed in similar ways. They both have strange upbringings and we and the writers just thought that was interesting. It's a line you are not supposed to cross but the 'what if' of it all How would you negotiate it? How would you deal with the fact that it's so wrong and so taboo and what are the consequences? --is really interesting to us.

Doubt was originally developed for the 2015-16 season, but the pilot was never ordered to series. After undergoing re-development and re-casting (KaDee Strickland and Teddy Sears were replaced with Heigl and Pasquale), its now making it to air with a 13-episode order. It marks a reunion of sorts Phelan and Rater last worked with Heigl when she starred on Greys Anatomy. (Heigl left the series in 2010.)

It was nice just to continue our collaboration because we've known Katherine for 10 years now, Phelan said.

It was just the sort of the magic ingredient that the show needed, Rater said.

Recently, a group of high school students, under the direction of anatomy teacher Daniel Sanchez visited Vogel Elementary and taught all of the second grade students a little lesson.

The subject a human cell.

While this may seem a little outside the younger students realm of understanding, the teens delivered the lesson in a way the youngsters could understand.

Prior to the visit, Sanchez, wanted to make sure his students understood the lesson and tasked them with writing a childrens story.

By using the terminology and definitions, his students received an easier way to remember what they have learned.

What he didnt expect to happen was to see that lesson evolve beyond his classroom, and spill over into the elementary classroom.

As Sanchez students read their stories to the second graders, the children eagerly listened and then asked questions.

They also got to see what a human cell looks like thanks to the models the teens also created for their class, unknowing that it would become a prop for this special session.

Not only did the high school students learn, but they taught their younger counterparts, solidifying what they learned.

They became role models for the younger students, and helped them engage in conversations.

They created a new curiosity for science, and quite possibly an interest that can lead to things beyond what they imagined.

HEART ATTACKS HAPPEN to both women and menbut they dont always look the same. Theyre not as obvious as youd see on TV, and thats true for more women than men.

Heres a look at what makes recognizing a heart attack so importantand why noticing more subtle signs is especially important for women.

What to look for

What does a heart attack feel like? Chest pain or discomfort is the most common symptom for both women and men. The pain may last a few minutes or come and go. Some people say it feels like pressure, squeezing, or fullness. Or it may feel like an upset stomach or heartburn.

But women are more likely than men to have other heart attack signs, says Paul Connor, MD, PeaceHealth Medical Group Cardiology, in Bellingham.

Those may include:

Shortness of breath with or without chest pain

Nausea, lightheadedness, or vomiting

Unexplained fatigue that may last for days

Back, shoulder, arm or jaw pain

Women are also at higher risk for silent heart attacks, according to some studies. This is when symptoms of a heart attack are so mild that they go unnoticedor are dismissed as anxiety.

Silent heart attacks are just as dangerous as more obvious heart attacks, though, says Dr. Connor. Left untreated, they can cause scarring and permanent damage, raising the risk of other heart problems.

So dont be too quick to dismiss shortness of breath or lightheadedness as just anxiety. And make sure you tell medical professionals that you think youre having a heart attack, not an anxiety attack.

A supply problem at the pump

Despite womens more subtle symptoms, the mechanics of a heart attack are fundamentally the same for both sexes. It happens when the hearts blood supply is reduced or cut off, most often when an artery becomes blocked.

What usually sets the stage? Doctors call it atherosclerosis. It happens when arteries that bring blood to the heart slowly become clogged with plaque. A blood clot can form around these plaques, causing complete obstruction of the blood flow to the heart muscle.

Without prompt treatment, areas of heart muscle may die and eventually be replaced by scars. This damage could leave a heart attack survivor with a weakened heart.

And a weak heart may not be able to pump blood to the bodys organs like it should, which could result in other quality-of-life issues, Dr. Connor says.

Quick treatment can restore blood flow to the heart and help prevent damage. So be aware of these warning signs for both yourself and others. If theres even a slight chance you could be having a heart attack, dont wait. Call 911 and get to a hospital to give your heart the best chance.

Last weeks Greys Anatomy revealed the fate of Alex Karev (Justin Chambers).

After numerous episodes this season dealt with the aftermath of Karev beating up DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti), Alex had decided to accept a plea deal, which would put him behind bars. However, he had gone missing and no one knew what he was up to until last week when suddenly, he surprised Meredith at home.

The episode last week cut with Karevs surprise return home, begging the question, how did he get out of jail time? Tonights ep will reveal all of those details. But first,Variety chatted with Chambers aboutwhat to expect now that Alex is back.

I think having everything taken from him I think he learned a lot there, but I think he appreciates being in peace and hes very good at what he does and he thrives there, Chambers explains of how the experience will change Alex.

As for Jo (Camilla Luddington), their relationship will require a lot of work to get back on track. He was going to take a plea deal to protect his girl. Theyre not together right now, but well see where that goes, Chambers says.Hes still angry with her, but if anyone knows anything about second chances, its Alex. So he has that to think about. She messed up, but there must be a piece of him that still feels for her. Love just doesnt die like that.

Whatever happens, Chambers has a personal wish for his character: I just hope Alex finds some happiness. Crap. He just never seems to catch a break. Im thinking soon there might be some stability, he teases.

However, in real life, Chambers is ecstatic to be experiencing 13 seasons of stability

Its a blessing. Its crazy. Its so awesome, the original cast member says of Greys Anatomys flourishing in its 13th season.With a laugh, he adds, Even ER, I think theirratings dropped a lot in their 13th year.

Macabre event Anatomy Lab LIVE is really happening in Cornwall on April Fool's Day - Cornwall Live

John Oliver used the first episode of the new season of Last Week Tonight to dissect what he sees as Donald Trump's aversion to facts. Pointing out that the president "has made it clear that reality is not important to him" is nothing new; media outlets do it all the time. But Oliver wanted to delve a little deeper into the anatomy of Trump's grand pronouncementsthat are not supported by evidenceabout such things as the size of his inauguration crowd, voter fraud, the unemployment rate, the national GDP, the murder rate. Policy is being made based on such false information, and, as Oliver points out, people are getting hurt because of it.

Related: John Oliver says he is concerned about being able to stay in America

Politifact found that 25.2 percent of the statements made by President Barack Obama were false by some measure. For Trump, the number is 69.9 percent. Where do Trump's falsehoods come from?

Try Newsweek for only $1.25 per week

Oliver says Trump's worldview is reinforced primarily by cable newsor questionable websites like Breitbart or Infowars. The former routinely runs headlines like "Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy," while the host of the latter, Alex Jones, believesthe Boston Marathon bombing and the Sandy Hook massacre were orchestrated by the government, among other conspiracy theories.Trump's reliance on cable news has been made clear through his tweets, which often reflect just-aired Fox News segments. As Oliver breaks it down, "Trump sees something that jibes with his worldview,doesnt check it, half-remembers it and then passes it on, at which point it takes on a life of its own and appears to validate itself.

Oliver uses as an example Trump's claims that millions of illegal votes were cast in the election, an idea for which there is no factual evidence.The claim originated from a Twitter user. Itwas then picked up by Infowars. It was debunked, but Trump tweeted about it. Then others talked about it on TV. This allowed theclaim to gainlegitimacy, at least for a certain section of the population.If you get your news from similar sources to him, which many people do, he doesnt look like a crank," Oliver says."He looks like the first president ever to tell you the real truth.

Trump's belief that "thousands" of New Jersey Muslims celebrated 9/11 terrorist attacks took on a similar life. When Bill O'Reilly pointed out that there was no evidence to support the claim, Trump doubled down,citing a Breitbart articlethat said he was "100% vindicated." O'Reilly said once again that there was still no real evidence and that this was never reported,but Trump said he was right because the article said people were swarming all over the place. "I don't know what that means," Trump said. "But it means a lot of people."

Oliver points out: Even if you take the kindest approach here and assume Trump made an honest, innocent mistake and passed on a news story without checking it, when he was presented with a lack of evidence, he disregarded that fact, at which point he is lying."

So how can frustrated Americans combat this problem? Oliver says it's up to the media to continue to check Trump's facts, even though the effectiveness of doing so has been diminishedas the Trump administration continuesto vilify the press. Beyond that, he says the people and organizations who oppose Trump need to stay vigilant with their protests, their lawsuitsand their diligence in double-checking the sourcing ofwhat they see on social media before they share it themselves.

Oliveralso has another solution. Because Trump loves cable news so much, Last Week Tonight bought ad space during some of the president'sfavorite morning programs. His show will use the space to airads that detailthe basics of issues about which Trump should probably be familiar, like the nuclear triad or the names of hischildren.Until we are shut down, we are prepared to educate Donald Trump one-by-one on topics were pretty sure he doesnt know about," says Oliver. Make sure you don't skip the commercials next time you tune in to Morning Joe.
