As the Federal Reserve has rapidly increased interest rates, many economists say they fear that a recession is inevitable in the coming months—and with it, job losses that could cause hardship for households already hurt worst by inflation. Even before the Federal Reserve acts again Wednesday to sharply raise its key short-term rate—a third straight three-quarter-point hike is likely to be announced–its previous rate increases are being felt by households at all income levels....

At the core of all fluoroquinolones—including drugs like ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin—are 2 six-member carbon rings attached to a fluoride atom. These drugs work by targeting 2 bacterial enzymes responsible for notching, coiling, and sealing DNA during replication: DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Because current fluoroquinolones bind to 2 separate enzymes, it’s harder for bacteria to mutate and to evade the actions of these drugs. Uses Here’s a list of bacteria that fluoroquinolones are active against:...

Confronted with superior weaponry, the Bosnian Serbs may collapse quickly. While the risk of retribution against U.N. troops on the ground is real, the West hardly faces an invincible adversary. “There is a tendency to overstate the value of the romantic Serb fighter,” says a Western diplomat in Belgrade. Serb forces in Bosnia are a miscellaneous lot, cobbled up from a 40,000-troop Bosnian Serb army under the command of a renegade general, borrowed Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) conscripts and a cast of irregulars....

However, the reasoning behind the Hornets’ decision was rather simple: Why go with the best player available or even trade back, when the opportunity to select the ideal prospect for the system was there for the taking?

Not really. The argument now is that technology allows for an ever greater connection—a connection that is constant and consistent. As a team from Deloitte put it in a February 2020 post on the website Modern Healthcare: “(Virtual care) works within and around a patient’s life, as opposed to their sickness, to deliver care when, where, and how they need and want it. Also, virtual health works its way into consumers’ daily routines by being embedded in electronic devices associated with living life (e....

No, it’s not the Toronto faithful booing. The fans are yelling “Soup!” in honor of goaltender Jack Campbell. The 30-year-old has become a fan favorite with the Maple Leafs, especially towards the end of the 2020-21 season. In his first full year as the starter, Campbell continues to gain the support of the team’s following, and has become known in the Toronto community as “Soup” or “Soupy”. His nickname also allows social media teams to capitalize on the opportunity to use the famous Seinfeld line of “No soup for you!...

Murray went on a wild run for a 2-point conversion, kept the final drive alive with two first-down scrambles and rushed for a touchdown that put Arizona in a position to tie the game late and force overtime despite at one point trailing the Raiders 20-0.

So what does that mean for the water levels at Lake Mead? Lake Mead’s water levels are rapidly declining due to the drought. The reservoir—which stretches across Nevada and Arizona, on the Colorado River—is relied upon by 25 million people living in the region.

During the summer, the lake’s water levels hit a new low at 1,040 feet—this was the lowest since its construction in the 1930s....

As of the end of October, the United States had roughly 10 million fewer workers than there were in February. A $2 trillion package therefore comes to more than $200,000 per worker who still has not gotten back to work since then. That amounts to replacing an $800,000 salary for a quarter of liquidity. In addition, unemployment programs have about 20 million people on the rolls even though only 10 million jobs were lost since the start of the year....
