“Shaw has acknowledged he has had some trouble communicating with his players,” said Nichols. “It’s gotten so bad that he told us that he started reading some books on how to relate to Millennials.” MORE: Why no one wants to face the Spurs in the playoffs | NBA championship odds | Vote: Best dunks This is incredibly problematic. Shaw, 48, is not exactly an old guy and at one time he even put out a rap song....
Treatments for burn scars generally fall under four main categories: Over-the-counter topical treatments Non-surgical specialist procedures Laser therapy Surgery Treatment options depend on whether you want to improve the appearance or whether the scar has caused skin contractures (tight areas of skin) that affect your ability to move. Over-the-Counter Topical Treatments Moisturizers and Emollients Constant itchiness is a common issue with burn scars. This happens because burns impair or destroy oil glands in the affected area, which leads to dry and itchy skin....
In the meantime Gore and Bush have reversed roles. Now it’s the vice president who wants to freeze the playing field and sit on his lead until October; he insisted on no debates during the Olympics that might give Bush an early chance to stop his momentum. That’s why seemingly small incidents like the “a—–e” gaffe, the rats ad and the debate over debates were so costly to Bush. They ate up precious time he needed to change the dynamics of the race....
A team led by researchers from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom investigated the response of the kidneys of these animals when they experienced chronic dehydration and rapid rehydration. For a study published in the journal Communications Biology, the team analyzed how thousands of genes changed in the camel kidneys as a result of dehydration and rehydration. One of the key adaptations that enables these camels to survive for so long without water is the ability of their very well-adapted kidneys to produce highly concentrated urine—these ensure that very little water is wasted....
From then, Naldo’s stoppage time equaliser to complete the greatest comeback in Bundesliga history was inevitable. Bosz had been outwitted and outclassed not by a better team, but by a better manager, whose two substitutions after just over half an hour changed the game utterly and exposed the failings of the Dutch coach’s approach. Peter Stoger’s tenure as Borussia Dortmund manager started no sooner than Bosz was out the door at Signal Iduna Park....
Hypothyroidism vs. Hyperthyroidism Two of the major thyroid gland problems include hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism refers to the inadequate secretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland in the neck. This is sometimes referred to as having an underactive thyroid. When hypothyroidism is present, there may be several changes that might occur. Some people may experience changes within the upper airway that lead to difficulties breathing during sleep. Treatment of hypothyroidism with a medication usually reverses this problem....
There are many species of Candida, but the most common is Candida albicans. Infections involving this type of yeast are quite common, but they are also easily diagnosable and treatable. Infections caused by other strains, however, are more serious. Candidiasis—or as it’s more commonly known, a yeast infection—can occur in many places in the body, such as the mouth, anus, skin, vagina, and bloodstream. This infection is usually treated with over-the-counter medications....
If you have a chronic or persistent arrhythmia, then it’s just a matter of recording an electrocardiogram (ECG) and documenting the presence and type of arrhythmia you are experiencing. Unfortunately, cardiac arrhythmias are often episodic in nature, coming and going without warning. In these cases, your symptoms may occur as sporadic episodes, often lasting just a few seconds, making a random 12-second ECG unlikely to reveal the arrhythmia. Additional testing is necessary....
During his six months in Africa Che kept a diary, recording his bouts of dysentery and asthma, along with his assessment of Kabila. In the 150-page unpublished manuscript, entitled “Passages From the Revolutionary War (The Congo),” Che time and again vents his frustration with Kabila. The leader was habitually unwilling to show his face at the front, Che writes, spending his time, along with other Congolese leaders, in Cairo, Dar es Salaam and Paris “in the best hotels, issuing communiques and drinking Scotch in the company of beautiful women....
It’s a catch-22 that continues to confound scientists and challenge the people living with the disease. Inflammation Explained Inflammation is a complex biological process that occurs in response to a pathogen (such as a virus, bacteria, or parasite), as well as exposure to toxic agents or an injury. It’s a facet of the body’s immune defense, one which aims to repair damaged cells and return the body back to its normal, healthy state....
He always does. This is a man discomforted by comfort. He lives for the narrow escape. And a pattern has begun to emerge in his presidency: he tends to screw up the same way each time. He surges, becomes overconfident – and turns left. It is a strange ideological tic. The president will spend a season of moderation building popularity, then squander it by lurching onto what he seems to believe is the “high” road, but is, in truth, a fatal tendency toward anachronistic statism and interest-group indulgence....
A few days after the Coyotes' four-year mess was officially resolved, the New Jersey Devils' situation—for sale but still owned by Jeff Vanderbeek, who also owns $230 million in debt—is squarely in the spotlight. On Thursday, the story, via Forbes, was that the NHL was prepared to seize control of the team nobody bought it by the start of the season. The footnote, though, was that at least two groups were highly interested....
Just before halftime with the score at 3-0, Liverpool, Ronaldo was involved in a play that probably should have seen him sent off. Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones successfully shielded a ball near the end line and then went down to the ground. While Jones was down, the referee’s whistle sounded indicating a foul by Ronaldo. But simultaneously to the whistle, Ronaldo went in for a violent kick while the ball was tucked into Jones’s midsection....
In today’s NFL, they are taken far more seriously. Players who are hit hard or appear to have any head injury are taken off the field and evaluated immediately for a concussion. If team staffers believe the player is seriously injured or at risk of a concussion, they will be pulled from the game. The league’s concussion protocol is a complex process. Being placed in it and being activated from it require multiple steps....
Mike McDaniel is certainly a new flavor of NFL coach. The Brooklyn hipster-adjacent boss of Miami has the Dolphins swimming in the right direction this year at 8-3. Miami sits atop the AFC East, and a good share of that success is thanks to the potent offensive attack put together by McDaniel. Away from the field, McDaniel has made a name for himself for being 1-of-1 in the NFL thanks to his personality and unique ability to connect with players....
Answer: Patience—at least up until now. Whether it has been the deployment of Saul Alinsky’s tactics for changing accepted paradigms and the meaning of language, or the strategy developed by Richard Cloward and Frances Piven to overload the American welfare system over time so that it could collapse and be replaced by a comprehensive socialist model, or any other incremental approach to moving America towards collectivism, liberals have shown an extraordinary capability to play the long game....
“Why aren’t we doing a bronchoscopy?” Cerfolio called out, referring to a procedure where physicians snake a thin scope through the tube in a patient’s airwaves and suck out obstructions. “This guy’s not dying of COVID. He’s dying of an obstructed tube!” It was the early days of the crisis in New York City back when NYU Langone Health still had only a handful of COVID-19 patients. (The hospital declined Friday to give a precise current number, only saying “hundreds and hundreds....
Chauvin is charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter. Opening statements in his trial are slated to begin Monday, after weeks were set aside to pick a jury. Those jurors could soon be shown a witness’ video of Floyd’s arrest that captured Chauvin, who is white, with a knee pinned to the Black man’s neck for almost nine minutes, while Floyd warned that he could not breathe before going limp....
Carolyn Andriano told a New York court how she was abused from aged 14 by Jeffrey Epstein and wept as she said of Maxwell: “Money would not ever fix what that woman has done to me.” She described to jurors how she visited the financier about 100 times to pay for a drug addiction in a moving testimony that one juror described as “the truth.” Andriano separately told a U....
OK, but . . . forever? Look more closely at the march of winning times and record distances, of gold-medal weights and precedent-setting heights. The law of diminishing returns has set in. The world-record time in the women’s 400-meter freestyle, for example, dropped more than two minutes – a full 33 percent – from 1921 (6:16.6) to 1976 (4:11.69). In the 20 years since, it has fallen just eight seconds, to Janet Evans’s 4:03....
