The walk-outs have followed the network’s shift rightwards, as the new leadership, led by chief executive Chris Licht, expressed its wish to give the news network a more neutral voice and ditch partisanship for a political center. “We are truth-tellers, focused on informing, not alarming our viewers,” Licht wrote in a memo to CNN employees back in June, adding that there “needs to be room for nuance” in the news network’s coverage....
At the start of the study, the participants were all at least 70 years old and free of Alzheimer’s. The researchers interviewed them about their estrogen use, then examined them periodically for dementia. Of the 968 women who had never taken the hormone, 16 percent developed Alzheimer’s during the study. By contrast, the disease struck only 6 percent of the 156 participants who had used estrogen at least briefly – and only 2 percent of the 58 who had used it for more than a year....
That’s why being able to change your Tera Type has become one of the main goals for many trainers in both Scarlet and Violet. But, changing your Pokemon’s Tera Type isn’t exactly easy, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, you could very well end up spending hours trying to catch the perfect Pokemon with the perfect Tera Type. Instead, all you need to do is make use of the Tera Shards found within Pokemon Scarlet and Violet....
Now, as Washington threatens to bring Saddam’s own reign to an end, U.S. officials are afraid he might use such gruesome tactics against Americans. Outgunned on the traditional battlefield, Saddam is looking to fight back on his own terms. That, according to American officials, could mean any number of terror plots, from isolated assassinations of U.S. citizens overseas to biological or chemical attacks in the American heartland. Does Saddam Hussein have a covert plan to “flush” his weapons of mass destruction out of Iraq and use them against Americans?...
It’s important to know that sexual minority people with vaginas often believe they are at less risk for HPV than heterosexual people with vaginas, and they may be less likely to receive preventive care such as vaccination and screening. This article discusses HPV, how to find out if you have it, and how to protect against spreading HPV. What is HPV? HPV is a virus transmitted from close skin to skin contact, typically during vaginal, anal, or oral sex....
According to guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC,) people who have a history of food, pet insect, venom, environmental, latex or oral medication allergies can receive the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. The CDC recommend that vaccine providers should observe people with a history of anaphylaxis—a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction—due to any cause for 30 minutes after the individual receives the shot. Everyone else should be observed for 15 minutes....
As if by default, the old son of the desert is now trying to lead on virtually every sensitive issue from the peace process to Darfur. Bush administration officials have yet to decide whether Abdullah’s new activism ultimately will support U.S. policy or undermine it, and some privately suggest they’re baffled. Why would Abdullah tell the summit of Arab kings and presidents he convened in Riyadh last week that “in Iraq blood flows between brothers in the shadow of an illegitimate foreign occupation”?...
Tim Kaine, who is Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential running mate, created a minor stir with this tweet on Tuesday morning. MORE: Returning players with most impact | Best, worst hires The tweet was in response to a Kansas City Star story on Saturday, where Missouri governor Jay Nixon talked with the paper and said he’d like to see Kaine, a friend in a high place, figure out a way to get the long-time Big 8/12 rivals to start playing again....
At one time, “common knowledge” held that almost everyone who was diagnosed with celiac had voluminous, smelly diarrhea coupled with abdominal pain, and was rail-thin due to weight loss caused by the condition. Since then, however, medical research has shown that it’s only a minority of celiacs who have diarrhea, and many people are overweight, rather than underweight, at diagnosis. In fact, there are more than 200 potential symptoms of celiac disease, and most of them don’t involve your gastrointestinal tract at all....
Just one of MLS’ current World Cup hopefuls has won the top prize in world soccer, but the league has seen its share of World Cup champions over the years. At present, 11 players who have lifted the trophy have also spent time in Major League soccer — and we wondered if you could name them all. Not to fear, we’ve given you plenty of hints, including the team they won the World Cup with and the club they represented in MLS....
Many people were left struggling to locate where exactly the cat was hiding. In a picture posted to the Twitter account “There Is No Cat In This Image,” some sweats, a bag and a blanket can be seen on a bed, with an open closet just behind it. The feline is certainly visible in the image, having squeezed himself into a particularly cozy spot, which shouldn’t be a big surprise to anyone who has ever owned a cat....

Sanderson was arrested earlier in the evening. “Myles Sanderson was located and taken into police custody near Rosthern, SK at approximately 3:30 p.m. today. There is no longer a risk to public safety relating to this investigation. Updates to come.” A Canadian coroner has already identified the 10 people killed in the mass stabbing.

Now, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his state-sponsored media would have you believe that a fringe group of miscreants have hijacked the Canadian trucking industry. They’ve formed a violent convoy and stormed across the country to wreak havoc on the capital city of Ottawa. These odious, white supremacist truckers have been hurling abuse at small business workers, stealing food from the homeless and vandalizing sacred monuments. With the aim of spreading their anti-vaccine ideology and giving everyone COVID, these truckers simply have unacceptable views and share none of the higher ideals of the average Canadian citizen....
Recreational marijuana was legalized in Canada under the Cannabis Act, which has been in effect from October 2018. Canada is the second country in the world to legalize cannabis for recreational use nationwide after Uruguay. In the year following the legalization of recreational cannabis, marijuana sales reached around $908 million, with more than 400 retail stores available across the country. However, sales from online shops and retail stores accounted for only around 15 percent of the total revenue as of September 2019, according to a report by Statistics Canada released last December....
No, we’re not referring to United States vs. Mexico. El Tri is third in the table, barely able to beat 10-man Jamaica last time out. Indeed, we are gearing up for Canada vs. United States, No. 1 vs. No. 2. Les Rouges top the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying table and will hope to defend home court in Hamilton, Ontario. The United States, meanwhile, heads north to continue the process of officially putting to bed the disappointment of its 2018 World Cup qualifying failure....
The Manitoba Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) is seeking a permanent injunction against Kelvin Brent Asham, accused of treating horses—including giving one horse a sedative—without veterinary certification. An investigator described Asham’s actions as “a display of lawless bravado,” according to court documents. The MVMA says it’s been trying to stop Asham for the past three years: It first became aware of his activities in 2015, when a complaint was filed about a 16-year-old gelding he had treated....
Shea Weber will make his season debut on Tuesday when Montreal Canadiens face the Carolina Hurricanes. The 33-year-old defenseman missed the team’s first 24 games this season and has not played since Dec. 2017 due to foot and knee injuries, but he told reporters on Monday that he’s ready to go. “I think I’ve been chomping at the bit (to play) longer than the weekend,” Weber said. “It feels like it’s been a long time waiting for this, but obviously we’re here....
Joan McInnes, who is the chief executive of the Scottish Cancer Support organization, posted numerous offensive remarks on her social media pages insulting Muslim and disabled people, the Daily Record reported. The SCS raises some $488,000 every year to “support services that aim to alleviate hardship for cancer sufferers throughout Scotland.” Though McInnes used her Facebook page to raise funds for the charity, she also used it to share her bigoted personal views....
The British rocker, 76, made his revelation in reaction to U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s statement that as restrictions lift on entertainment venues and social gatherings, patrons would be required to produce proof of vaccination before entering. Making a statement via the Telegram account of architect and film producer Robin Monotti Graziadei, Clapton said: “Following the PM’s announcement on Monday the 19th of July 2021, I feel honour bound to make an announcement of my own: I wish to say that I will not perform on any stage where there is a discriminated audience present....
