Don’t assume that texting more than usual equals cheating. Your girlfriend could just be texting a friend who needs some extra support, for example. For example, you might go sit by on the couch while she’s texting someone, only for her to shift to the other side or leave the room entirely. Hiding her screen doesn’t always mean your girlfriend is cheating⁠—she might also be responding to private information. Everyone deserves their privacy, and it’s perfectly normal if she wants to have her own password, so don’t assume that setting up a new password always means she’s trying to hide things from you....

This year, Team USA fields six Ryder Cup rookies against a European team that has a significant experience advantage in the competition.

Stellar players have been secured, audacious bids for mind-boggling sums have been mooted and there’s still a couple of days of this mayhem left to run. As Everton went through their warm-ups at Elland Road before Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Leeds and news broke that Chelsea were lining up a €90 million move for RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol, it was easy to wonder where Anthony Gordon’s head might be once the whirlwind comes to an end....

The only difference between subjects is the random assigning of “interventions,” whether a drug, environmental exposure, task, or element of diet. Why Nuts and Olive Oil?...

My best friend Bea places nannies in elite homes in Los Angeles, and more than once she has been explicitly asked not to send overweight applicants, no matter what their qualifications. Recently she had a candidate of the highest qualifications and glowing references, but this particular candidate wore size 16 jeans. When she found the courage to share this last detail with the client, the client immediately justified her prejudice by explaining that there were a lot of expensive antiques in her home, and narrow hallways....

While there are some similarities with the way Biden and Trump dealt with COVID, there are differences as well, especially since Trump was diagnosed earlier in the pandemic and different treatments are available now.

But in that February exhibition, Jordan felt he had no choice but to engage his motor to its full capacity. He couldn’t let a tenacious 19-year-old opponent show him up on a national stage. So, Jordan went toe-to-toe, often in isolation, against Kobe Bryant, the kid who with every fiber of his being wanted to embody the veteran superstar’s greatest traits. In Bryant, Jordan found the rare player who mirrored his own insatiable desire to annihilate his foes....

In early July, the U.S. Department of Transportation released public health guidelines for both airports and airlines to follow in an effort to help stop the spread of COVID-19 in those settings. The guidelines were dubbed “The Runway to Recovery,” and they encourage enforcement of social distancing, wearing face coverings at all times and enhanced disinfecting and cleaning procedures—among other recommendations. “The document provides guidance to airports and airlines for implementing measures to mitigate the public health risks associated with COVID-19 and prepare for an increase in travel volume, while ensuring that aviation safety and security are not compromised,” a spokesperson from the Federal Aviation Administration tells Newsweek....

Solitary wasps live by themselves and, while common, aren’t what people generally think of when they think of wasps. Social wasps, like yellowjackets and paper wasps, are the ones that come to mind, as they build nests and serve queens.

They need to be around their colony to maintain a level of energy necessary to live....
