Tom, a black-and-white cat, was discovered by Anna’s Rescue Centre living with a stray in Cathays Cemetery, in the Welsh capital Cardiff. “They were both straying in the cemetery together and had clung to each other over the years,” Anna Mason, from the rescue center, told Newsweek. “There is a house within the cemetery. The people that lived there just assumed they were strays and locals fed them over the years....
An animal trainer posting as earringuk shared the video to TikTok where it has garnered over 32 million views. Cats are traditionally seen as independent animals who prefer to exist of their own free will, rather than dogs who are more often at the beck and call of their human owners. However, that doesn’t mean cats can’t be trained like their canine counterparts. Mikel Delgado, a postdoctoral fellow at the School of Veterinary Medicine at University of California, Davis, told National Geographic there are “real benefits” to training your cat to complete everyday tasks and “it’s not as hard as you think....
The brief clip, shared by user rex2paws, showed the ginger cat Rex carefully navigating his way down steps outside a house. In the clip, the user added the caption: “When your cat loses his front feet but learns to overcome it.” As the clip continued, Rex shuffled his feet and lowered the rest of his body onto the next step before doing the same with each of the levels before the clip ended....
Hair, no hair. Crown and robes or T shirt and jeans. Accent of any kind. Since her blazing breakthrough in 1998’s “Elizabeth,” Blanchett has proved herself to be an astonishing chameleon. This month she plays a small-town psychic in Sam Raimi’s scary and touching supernatural thriller “The Gift.” Raimi was working with a budget reportedly under $10 million. But he had no trouble getting people like Keanu Reeves to work cheap when they’d read the rich, layered script–and heard who’d be telling their fortunes....
One of the most hard-fought races is expected to be in Nevada, where incumbent Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is facing a challenge from Republican Adam Laxalt. Polling suggests the contest is very tight, with independent election website FiveThirtyEight putting Laxalt ahead by less than two points, based on the most recent opinion surveys. The site, founded in 2008 by polling guru Nate Silver, has Laxalt on 45.6 percent, versus 44....
Arafat, after his disclaimers and double-talk aside, has bound the fate of the Palestinians to Saddam Hussein. In the sprawling refugee camps of the Middle East, among the embattled youths of the “intifada,” Saddam stands tall as the one leader in the Arab world with the guts and the guns to challenge Israel. “Everyone has closed the door to us,” said a doctor in Gaza. “There’s just one light coming through, and it’s coming from Saddam Hussein....
Causes Trauma to the outer ear, which is common in contact sports, can cause damage to cartilage and blood vessels. This damage can result in a hematoma (called an auricular hematoma, or subperichondrial hematoma), which is a collection of blood underneath the skin. For reasons that are not exactly clear the presence of a hematoma can actually stimulate new cartilage to grow. This new cartilage is typically asymmetrical and appears lumpy or deformed....
When trying to stretch the contracted muscle, a person will feel the muscle become very rigid, which will cause increased pain. Muscles Affected Muscles that are flexors, those that bend the joints to bring body parts closer to the body, are the ones most affected by contractures. The stiffening and tightening of these muscles prevent the body parts from being moved out and away from the body. The most common muscles affected by muscle contractures are:...
The Cavaliers have claimed former Warriors forward Alfonzo McKinnie off waivers, according to The Athletic. McKinnie appeared in 73 games for Golden State last year but was waived last week to make way for Marquese Chriss on the team’s 15-man roster. Chriss last spent time with Cleveland, so it appears like he and McKinnie are in effect trading places. Where McKinnie fits in with the Cavaliers remains to be seen though, as they already have an abundance of wings in Kevin Porter Jr....
The pair were embroiled in an on-pitch argument over a spot-kick earlier this season during a 2-0 win over Lyon. Marseille 2/1 to beat Bordeaux Both players wanted to take the penalty, only for Cavani to win out and then spectacularly miss from 12 yards. However, it appears the issue has now been settled. Cavani told reporters, after being asked who will take the next spot-kick for the club: “Neymar”....
On Thursday, the CDC raised its formal classification of Delta from “variant of interest” to a more serious category—“variant of concern.” Why the Change? Stephen Kissler, PhD, a research fellow in immunology and infectious diseases at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, tells Verywell that the Delta variant is more of a concern because it can spread more easily and cause more severe disease—particularly in people who are not fully vaccinated....
Walensky clarified her position after she initially told Fox News told Special Report anchor Bret Baier that she and Democratic President Joe Biden were “looking into” the possibility of establishing a mandate. “Are you for mandating a vaccine on a federal level?” Baier asked during his Friday interview with Walensky on the show Special Report. “That’s something that I think the administration is looking into,” she replied. “Overall, I think in general, I am all for more vaccination....
“Adults of any age with certain underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for severe illness from the virus that causes COVID-19,” the CDC wrote in updated guidance on December 26, adding that “mRNA COVID-19 vaccines may be administered to people with underlying medical conditions provided they have not had a severe allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in the vaccine.” The two different vaccines that are currently being administered to Americans use mRNA technology, which tells the body to create antibodies to combat the virus, instead of using a weakened version of the virus....
What does stigma mean? The CDC says that a stigma occurs when “people associate a risk with a specific people, place, or thing—like a minority population group—and there is no evidence that the risk is greater in that group than in the general population.” Fear about a disease can result in a social stigma toward people or places, and when a disease, like the novel coronavirus, is associated with a population or nationality, those people are at risk of becoming victims of stigma and discrimination....
Defensive end CeCe Jefferson, the prized-recruit of the group, signed and turned in his letter-of-intent on Monday, McElwain announced. Jefferson made his commitment to Florida last week on National Signing Day — on national TV. But he did not submit his letter of intent — without it, he’s fair game for any other school to continue pursuing.

The Gunners entered the current campaign determined to right the wrongs of 2016-17 which saw them fail to secure Champions League qualification for the first time under Arsene Wenger. A return to European football’s top table is considered to be a priority for those at Emirates Stadium, even when taking a Carabao Cup final and Europa League run into account. Arsenal are, however, sat sixth in the Premier League at present, five points adrift of Liverpool and with their vastly-experienced goalkeeper conceding that they have once again lacked consistency....

The effects of celiac can be too wide and unpredictable for any one set of symptoms to be considered expected, so it’s doubtful that there’s a truly typical case. It’s also possible to have celiac disease but not have any symptoms at all. Frequent Symptoms The symptoms will vary considerably from person to person and are also significantly different for children and adults. Even symptoms in men and women may differ....
