Since dropping back down to the Championship in January on loan, the striker has looked like a new man. He’s been crucial to helping the Cottagers to extend their unbeaten run to 22 games and they are guaranteed at least a play-off position with two games to go. After scoring just four goals in the Championship last season, Mitrovic has netted 11 times in 15 appearances for Fulham. But what has changed for the enigmatic 23-year-old?...

You might say, “Hey thanks for the great night! I really had a lot of fun :)” or, “That was a blast. We should do it again some time!” People get self-conscious about this, and a lot of 21+ folks grew up hearing adages about waiting a certain amount of time before texting. That’s kind of outdated advice these days. You can try playing hard to get by waiting a little bit after getting their text to reply, but it’s also totally fine to reply right away!...

What Is Pancreatic Cancer Surgery? Pancreatic cancer surgery includes surgical operations that remove the tumor from the pancreas and surrounding areas. Your procedure can also include clearing blockages in the ducts or other structures around the pancreas. The pancreas lies just behind the stomach and the duodenum (the entrance of the small intestine). It produces digestive enzymes, so removing it can have a substantial effect on your nutrition. Pancreatic cancer surgery usually involves the removal of some, but not all, of the pancreas whenever possible....

Kathryn Taylor, author of The Babydust Method: A Guide to Conceiving a Girl or a Boy, has suggested that the timing and frequency of intercourse in relation to ovulation can be used as a sex selection method. To find out more, Newsweek has spoken to Taylor, fertility and gynecology experts, and parents who have tried the method. What Is the Babydust Method? Taylor told Newsweek that the Babydust method relies on factors that may affect whether an X chromosome or Y chromosome sperm fertilizes an egg....

However, for many parents, especially parents of color, accessing child care during the pandemic has been a struggle. Camille Kelly, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist based in San Diego, California, and a Filipina mother of a Filipina and Black child, struggled to find access to a childcare center during the pandemic. “I put myself on probably five to six wait-lists for different childcare centers in San Diego,” Kelly tells Verywell....

“There has been much conversation about the terminology used to describe the weapon,” the Moscow Police Department said in an update on Tuesday night. “The type of knife though to be used in the attacks is believed to be a fixed-blade knife. Detectives continue to look for the weapon.” The update comes just a few days after the Idaho Statesman reported that the manager of the Moscow Building Supply store said investigators visited his location several times asking if anyone had recently purchased a Ka-Bar brand knife....

Wise, prescient words. Yet last week, as preparations accelerated for the 30th observance of Earth Day, on April 22, the global environment–both ecological and human–seemed in worse shape than when Gandhi spoke them. True, many of the developed world’s rivers are cleaner, and many of its corporations profess a new sensitivity to ecological issues. In Africa, Asia and Latin America, however, billions of people continue to grapple with the problem the late prime minister identified....

The royal brothers fell out when Meghan’s staff accused her of mistreating them, triggering a furious response from Prince William, according to a new edition of Battle of Brothers serialized in U.K. newspaper The Times. However, author Robert Lacey suggests the complaints may never have bubbled over had a key figure within Kensington Palace at the time not been American. Communications Secretary Jason Knauf was concerned enough about the way the Duchess of Sussex was treating her team that he emailed a superior in October 2018....

The Princess of Wales suffered bulimia and attempted suicide while married to Prince Charles, she told her speech coach in the 1990s. Some of her experiences became public through a bombshell biography in 1992, which exposed the infidelity for the first time, and through a tell-all interview she did in 1995. As the royal family marks the 24th anniversary of her death today (August 31), the coming months and years are set to bring Princess Diana’s traumatic experiences to the fore once on both the big and small screens....

Coming off a first-round loss to the Suns in the 2021 NBA playoffs, the Lakers opened the summer with a bang by acquiring Russell Westbrook from the Wizards. Not long after making that bold move, they rounded out their roster with a number of signings in free agency, from Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard to Malik Monk and Kendrick Nunn. Each one of their offseason acquisitions brings something different to the table, but all that really matters is how the new Lakers complement LeBron James and Anthony Davis as they pursue their second title together....

Neo-Nazis trapped civilians in a monastery in the Donetsk People’s Republic “Neo-Nazis have blockaded over 450 civilians, including children, women with babies, elderly people and critically ill patients on life-support, as well as cancer and insulin-dependent patients, in the Nikolo-Vasilyevsky monastery in the Volnovakha district of the Donetsk People’s Republic. The monastery and the only road leading to it are constantly shelled from mortars and heavy machine guns. People were killed and wounded....

Rubin, 56, is a money-world mensch: Miami Beach by way of Harvard and Yale Law, restless energy concealed in a laid-back consensus-maker. With self-effacing charm, he tried to reassure anxious finance ministers around the world that the rescue plan he had designed for Mexico would pay off, even as currency markets were punishing both the peso and the dollar with a sell-off that threatened economies all through Latin America. Tipping so far back in his chair that his aides feared he would fall over, he composed bland statements (“We believe a strong dollar is in America’s national interest”) designed to calm the roiled markets....

Most strikingly perhaps, the number of chlamydia cases has nearly doubled in the course of a single decade, rising from 929,462 in 2004 to 1,441,789 by 2014. While it is well known that STDs can significantly increase a person’s risk of getting HIV, many people still don’t fully understand why this is or the ways in which STDs can readily facilitate infection—even in otherwise low-risk activities like oral sex. The fact that many of these diseases remain undiagnosed only adds to the odds of getting infected....

No player draws more defensive attention without the ball than Curry. He’s led the league the past two years in the stat, and it’s safe to assume he’s doing so this year again, as he wraps up the most dominant shooting season of all-time. MORE: Classic photos of Curry | Weighs in on transgender law The impact of that on Curry’s teammates is obvious. With so much attention being focused on him — attention that requires guarding him 35 feet away from the basket — they have less to do for easy points....

So what did then-Suns coach Jay Triano do? He unveiled a play that he had kept in his back pocket for years. MORE: Chris Paul reacts to Deandre Ayton’s game-winning dunk While standing on the sideline near the Grizzlies’ bench, Dragan Bender threw a pass toward Tyson Chandler that floated directly above the rim, giving Chandler the opportunity to slam it through the bottom of the net. Wait, you can do that?...

Yet, if Buffalo pulls off an upset this week as a six-point home underdog, there is one Week 14 playoff clinching scenario in which the Bills — not the Ravens or the Chiefs or the Patriots — would become the first AFC team to reach the postseason. MORE: Full NFL playoff picture entering Week 14 If the Bills beat the Ravens, they then would need some help from the Raiders, Texans and Colts in the form of losses or ties....

With numbers like these, it’s clear that the GOP needs to find a way to nudge Trump off the stage. The trick is how to do so while keeping his voters. If the GOP snaps back to the free-market libertarian party it was. pre-Trump, that won’t happen. What’s wanted is a party that is progressive on economic issues and conservative on social ones. That’s the sweet spot in American politics, and if progressive conservatism sounds like an oxymoron that’s because of an imperfect understanding of progressivism, conservatism, the GOP and America....

Since the program’s inception, the NIH has gathered advice from the biomedical science community on the institute’s policies and efforts according to Marie A. Bernard, MD, chief officer for scientific workforce diversity at the National Institutes of Health. “We got more than 1,100 responses. And we’re in the process of evaluating these responses to figure out what we need to be doing beyond the things we’re doing already,” Bernard tells Verywell....

So it is no shock to see him, in Union soldier uniform, atop a horse on the great plains of the American West. The wide-open spaces have always been a congenial home to Hollywood’s reticent romantic figures: the wilderness demands down-to earth heroes, even as it leaves lots of space for big dreamers. Dances With Wolves, which Costner directed, coproduced and stars in, is a sweeping, three-hour epic that mixes Old Hollywood grandiosity with New Hollywood sensitivity....
