Nonsense, of course. Like most conspiracy theories, the scenarios spun since Diana’s death lead everywhere and nowhere. There’s no evidence to support any of them. Many of the juiciest theories circulate on the Internet, where postings about Diana are rapidly becoming as numerous as those about the deaths of JFK, Marilyn Monroe and the king of the afterworld, Elvis Presley. But it is Egypt, homeland of the Fayeds, that has become the center of a booming conspiracy-theory industry....

The video is dated December 16, 2020, during a special legislative session. In the clip, Nearman explains to constituents how to text him and which door he could open for them at the Capitol, interspersing his instruction with interjections of denial about knowing anything that was planned. “We’re talking about setting up Operation Hall Pass,” he says in the video, “which I don’t know anything about and if you accuse me of knowing something about, I’ll deny it....

The Panthers and quarterback Cam Newton reunited on a one-year deal Thursday, with the once-former now-current Panthers quarterback cashing in on a big payday to return to Carolina and help solve their QB woes. MORE: Panthers’ QB depth chart: Will Cam Newton start? The Panthers made the move in the wake of a Sam Darnold shoulder injury, which will shelve him for four to six weeks.

With New England in range to tie the game with a field goal in the closing seconds, Newton had the football knocked away by Justin Zimmer. Buffalo’s Dean Marlowe recovered, and three Josh Allen kneels later, the Bills were 24-21 victors over the Pats in Buffalo. Newton’s fumble spoiled what had been his key role in New England’s comeback Sunday. A two-yard rushing touchdown by Newton had tied the game at 21 midway through the fourth quarter, but after a Bills field goal, Newton’s fumble ruined a chance at overtime....

The ad begins with the GOP governor’s wife Cassey DeSantis saying, “Everyone knows my husband Ron DeSantis is endorsed by President Trump, but he’s also an amazing dad....

Acupuncture is not an effective long-term strategy for treating hypertension. What Is Acupuncture? “Acupuncture” is a family of procedures derived from Chinese practices that began 2000 years ago, which have been used over this time to treat a variety of medical conditions. Modern acupuncturists have added several new features to the traditional insertion and manipulation of needles, including magnets, electrical stimulation, lasers, and ultrasound. The variety of techniques being used, along with the fact that acupuncture is based on ancient Chinese philosophy rather than on any scientifically verifiable physiological processes, has made it difficult to prove or disprove its efficacy (in the modern scientific sense) for any particular purpose....

So if you have your last period when you’ve just turned 50 (the average age), then you’re “in menopause” when you turn 51 years old. So-called “normal” menopause normally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. Menopause is considered “early” if it occurs in a woman before she turns age 45, and “premature” if it occurs before age 40....

What Is Vertigo? Vertigo is more than just a dizzy spell. It refers to dizziness that stems from a dysfunction in the balance system of the inner ear. When you have vertigo, you may feel as if either the room is spinning or you are spinning. It’s a disconcerting experience that can often happen whether you are sitting or standing. The dizziness can sometimes be caused by an external stimulus that affects the inner ear (such as a rocking movement that can cause motion sickness)....

Dragic, while flawlessly running the offense, racked up 34 points with five rebounds and five assists. Though he has had an up-and-down season as the team’s unquestioned leader, nights like this remind everyone why “The Dragon” was such a high-priced commodity a couple seasons ago.

Late in the week, unconfirmable rumors said he was sitting up and eating. The loyal sibling who had been named as acting leader, 75-year-old Defense Minister Raúl Castro, remained conspicuously out of sight, as did just about every other senior member of the two brothers’ circle. Some observers said the regime was trying to project a sense of normalcy. Still, people in Havana seemed no more uneasy than usual. After 47 years under Fidel’s rule, Cubans have learned to wait....

Weeks after Saudi oil sites were struck in an attack claimed by Yemen’s Zaidi Shiite Muslim movement Ansar Allah, or the Houthis, but blamed on Iran by the United States and some of its allies, Iranian Energy Minister Bijan Zanganeh denied his country’s involvement and argued he was on good terms with his newly-appointed Saudi counterpart.

The answer was no. For now. ““At this point I’m focused on being mayor for a second term,’’ Giuliani told NEWSWEEK as he prowled the city in his huge GMC Suburban, with four cellular phones and a brace of aides to relay his commands. ““But you never rule out anything in politics.’’ Someone, he says, needs to teach the nation the lesson he’s learned: the best policy is a nonpartisan, incremental focus on improving ““quality of life....

Hundreds of parliamentarians from both sides of the Atlantic agree that this is way too much. In an unprecedented initiative, spearheaded by the Transatlantic Friends of Israel, 312 cross-party lawmakers from the European Parliament and national legislatures from EU member states, the U.K., Switzerland, Norway, the U.S., Canada and Israel have urged EU member states and fellow democracies to end the systematic discrimination against Israel at the UN. “Within the context of rising global antisemitism, the relentless, disproportionate and ritualistic condemnation of the world’s only Jewish state at the UN is particularly dangerous and must finally end....
