You can put the third name among Mexico’s top players without fear. “El Chucky” scored two lovely goals Friday in a 3-3 draw with Belgium, continuing his incredible start to the 2017-18 campaign and solidifying his place as a bona fide star for El Tri. It was a positive performance for Mexico, which twice went behind and twice fought back to level the scoreline. The second equalizer came when Hector Herrera sent a long ball in Lozano’s direction and the 22-year-old used his first touch to set himself up for a right-footed shot to the inside post that flummoxed goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois....

But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know about that day. Most people who grew up fans of racing do. The video of President Ronald Reagan’s plane landing on the backstretch as the race was being run. And a post-race interview with the winner and president, followed by the teams having a chicken dinner with the nation’s leader. Of course, no one knew at the time that it would be Petty’s last win of a glorious seven-championship, Hall of Fame career that lasted until 1992....

As such, MAC is classified as an AIDS-defining illness, affecting anywhere from 20 percent to 40 percent of persons with AIDS-associated immune suppression who are not on HIV therapy or taking preventive prophylactic medications. MAC tends to most commonly affect the lungs, although many of these infections are not considered life-threatening. However, when a person’s CD4 count drops below 50 cell/mL, MAC can move beyond the lungs and involve other major organ systems, including the liver, spleen, and bone marrow....

Among the eye-related disorders associated with HIV: Below 500 cells: herpes zoster (shingles); Kaposi sarcoma (KS), lymphoma, tuberculosis (TB) Below 200 cells: herpes simplex virus (HSV), pneumocystosis, toxoplasmosis Below 100 cells: aspergillosis, cytomegalovirus (CMV), cryptococcosis, HIV encephalopathy, microsporidiosis, molluscum contagiosum (MC), mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), progressive multifocal encephalopathy (PML), varicella-zoster virus (VZV) While HIV-associated eye disorders are more often caused by these and other opportunistic infections (OIs), they may also be a direct result of the HIV infection itself, manifesting with changes—sometimes minor, sometimes profound—to the nerve and vascular structure of the eye itself....

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) runs a website on which people can find fast, free, and confidential HIV testing at gettested.cdc.gov. HIV testing is accessible across medical settings, and tests can even be purchased for home use at drugstores or on the Internet....

Cadien Shaw was standing outside of a Denver eatery next to the Avalanche’s home stadium, Ball Arena, following a January 26 game. That was when a trio of men approached and began to chat him up, Shaw told KMGH-TV. To begin with, Shaw said, the back-and-forth was limited to some friendly banter about the game itself, which saw the Bruins fall to Colorado 4-3. “At first, it was more of a hockey banter type of thing from them, ‘Oh you lost,’ ‘What do you think about that hit,’ that type of thing,” Shaw told KMGH-TV....

Watch: Head to your local Chinatown to see the lion and dragon dancers. The costumes are meant to scare away demons and usher in good luck. Eat: Long noodles for longevity, boiled dumplings for friendship and togetherness, and whole fish or chicken for abundance and prosperity. Decorate: In spoken Cantonese, the word fa, for flower, resembles the word for wealth. Chinese families fill their homes with plum and peach blossoms, peonies, mums and orange trees....

The headache is that if Western producers want to show—or make­—a film in China they must first deal with an army of bureaucrats who decide what Chinese audiences can see. Their names are appropriately Orwellian: the State Ethnic Affairs Commission; the State Administration for Religious Affairs; the Publicity Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China; the Ministry of State Security and Safety and many more. Their jobs are to make sure not only that China is always portrayed favorably, but also that some subjects are never mentioned, Chief among them are the three T’s: Taiwan, Tibet, Tiananmen....

B’nai Brith Canada, a Jewish activist organization, referred in particular to attendees of a COVID-19 protest in Calgary, Alberta who posed with a yellow Star of David marked with “Mask Exempt.” During the Holocaust, Jews in Nazi Germany, as well as countries occupied by or allied with the Nazis, were made to wear the yellow badges so they could be identified and ostracized. Photos of the protest, held March 20, showed placards rejecting masks and lockdowns, in addition to displaying conspiracy theories surrounding the pandemic, vaccines and 5G....

Because ear infections often clear up on their own, healthcare professionals are hesitant to jump to prescribing antibiotics as a first course of treatment unless the infection is severe, the child is very young, or there are other mitigating circumstances.
