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....

Hoyer is the man responsible for Corey Kluber being on the Indians. MORE: Ranking the worst World Series winners since 1985 Kluber continued his postseason dominance in Game 1 by pitching six scoreless innings en route to Cleveland’s 6-0 victory. The ace will be back on the mound for Saturday night’s Game 4, and if Game 7 is necessary, the Cubs can expect to see him then, too. As GM of the Padres in 2010, Hoyer traded Kluber to the Indians as he tried to beef up San Diego’s roster for a run at the postseason....

This year, Team USA fields six Ryder Cup rookies against a European team that has a significant experience advantage in the competition. Add to that the fact the U.S. has only won three of the last 12 matches in this competition — not to mention a smouldering feud between Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka — and the pressure is on for Team USA, which still finds itself the betting favorites....

Who ends up in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Dec. 2? That becomes a very interesting question now. No. 2 Alabama still faces No. 18 Mississippi State on Saturday. MORE: How Auburn mauled Georgia Here are five instant impacts from the Tigers’ big win: Georgia down, but not out The Bulldogs used their mulligan. That would be the optimist’s viewpoint.

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 four-time Stanley Cup champion’s name is written all over the NHL record and history book. Gretzky truly was a generational talent, the likes of which one may never see again in the NHL. Over a 20-year career with four different teams, Gretzky collected quite a bit of hardware. In addition to the four Cup rings, he earned nine Hart Trophies, 10 Art Ross Trophies, two Conn Smythe Trophies, five Lester B....

A 2015 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine examined the role that nuts and olive oil played when added to plant-based Mediterranean diet, in the development of cognitive decline. While the study was relatively small (447 men and women), it was conducted as a randomized clinical trial. 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?...

The results show that more than 25 million Americans, nearly half of them under 17, now make use of food pantries, soup kitchens and other food-distribution programs. That’s one out of 10 Americans forced to eat at least occasionally on the dole-a startling statistic for one of the world’s richest countries....

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. While Trump turned to social media to announce his diagnosis, the news regarding Biden was released in a more traditional way. On October 2, 2020, ex-President Trump announced to the world on Twitter that he and First Lady Melania Trump had tested positive for COVID-19....

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. The two varieties have different reproductive cycles that can affect how long they live. Social wasps can actually die of loneliness! They need to be around their colony to maintain a level of energy necessary to live....

Chris Paul tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, June 16. That means he’s out while the Suns compete in the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2010. Paul is one of the team’s best players and a valuable leader. The veteran point guard averaged 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 8.9 assists per game in the regular season. If he is forced to miss time during the West finals, that will damage Phoenix’s chances of making the NBA Finals....
