The research published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports in February found their biceps were between six and 12 percent stronger by the end. This is an extreme example of strength training in short bursts, but it raises the question of how effective brief exercise is, say even a minute a day, and what the most efficient way to build muscle might be....
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm takes the vicious lampooning to 2020, a year where the political circus of the Trump era makes satire virtually impossible. This time around, it’s Trump supporters being sent up. From a religious anti-abortion counselor who is unfazed by rape and incest of a minor and a confectioner who doesn’t even flinch when she is asked to pipe “Jews will not replace us” on a cake, to an unethical plastic surgeon, the people he targets are presented as bigots....

The question illuminates the different challenges the candidates face in cobbling together 270 electoral votes....
Worried about the spiraling costs of bank failures, officials in New Hampshire and neighboring states have persuaded regulators to stop lowering the boom on troubled institutions. This spring, New Hampshire’s Republican Gov. Judd Gregg has won tentative U.S. government approval for a plan which calls for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to inject money into the state’s shakiest banks rather than shut them down. The FDIC would guarantee bad loans, put in new capital and then seek a buyer for the institution, retaining preferred stock in payment....
There used to be a lot of “rules” and etiquette tips about this. People would talk about waiting 2-3 days to text after first dates, or not to text too much or too late if something is new, but none of that is particularly true these days. In the grand scheme of a new relationship, this is not a huge deal. Your texting habits aren’t going to be what makes or breaks things here, so don’t stress yourself out if the convos are a little uneven!...

British Vogue has given its April 2022 issue a platinum theme with dual covers. The first featuring a portrait of the Queen and the second, a striking image of current it-girl and Queen’s Gambit actress, Anna Taylor-Joy.

Smallpox at Valley Forge History has shown us how the spread of disease could have altered the birth of a nation. During the winter at Valley Forge in 1776, George Washington decided to begin inoculating soldiers against smallpox, a disease he had experienced as a teenager in 1751 while visiting the island of Barbados. Washington’s revolutionary comrade, John Adams, was not so lucky. Unlike the troops at Valley Forge, Adams’ troops had been forced to retreat from Quebec when half had fallen ill with smallpox....
