The forward was a notable absentee when Pirates locked horns with Cape Town City in a PSL encounter on Tuesday. The Buccaneers maintained their unbeaten start in the league with a 1-0 win over the Citizens thanks to Thabo Qalinge’s late goal at the FNB Stadium. “There is something that needs to be kept within the team that we don’t want to put out in public‚” Sredojevic told the media....
Harold “Heshy” Tischler, an Orthodox Jewish activist in Brooklyn’s Borough Park neighborhood and radio talk show host, shouted at reporters as a group of fellow protesters surrounded him. “And if you think, Mrs. de Blasio…retard, woman, crook, whatever you are, you think you’re gonna get elected to borough president? You will not be elected,” Tischler said, directing his comments at Chirlane McCray. McCray, who married de Blasio in 1994, is considering a run for Brooklyn borough president....
Videos posted on social media show a crowd of Orthodox Jews, who are not socially distancing or covering their face, burning the masks in the Brooklyn area of New York in response to the guidelines brought in by governor Andrew Cuomo. The New York Fire Department later extinguished the small fire in the middle of the street, with a line of people appearing to briefly try and block the firefighters’ attempts to put out the blaze....
Most people experience OI now and then when they stand up too fast and get a “head rush.” In some people, though, the symptom comes on frequently and is part of an underlying condition. The term “orthostatic” comes from “orthostasis,” which literally means standing up. Acute Orthostatic Intolerance OI can be chronic or acute. A chronic condition is one that lasts for a long time, while acute means that it’s short-lived, like a cold....
Directed by Shaka King, Judas and the Black Messiah is one of the major contenders at the upcoming ceremony, after picking up nominations for Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Song and Best Picture.

Lozano helped Tuzos to the CONCACAF Champions League crown before joining PSV this summer. He’s since enjoyed a breakout year in the Netherlands, where his 13 goals lead the Eredivisie. The fantastic season has increased speculation that he’ll move on from Eindhoven after the season, like Osorio’s former Atletico Nacional player Davinson Sanchez did after a year with Ajax. “It was a great move for Lozano to join PSV. I almost begged the (Pachuca) sporting director to allow him to move, and Andres (Guardado) also played a role in the transfer,” Osorio told Eindhovens Dagblad ....
Osteopenia: Low Bone Density Osteopenia means low bone density, but what exactly does this mean? It’s easiest to understand osteopenia when we compare it to both normal bone density and osteoporosis (very low bone density). Normal bone density means that the density and architecture of your bones is normal. On a bone density test, the number you would see if your bone density were normal would be higher than -1.0. In other words, your bone density would be at or better than one standard deviation below normal....
“Is this a peaceful protest? What if you lived here, and this was going on from early in the morning until late at night, how would you feel? #Ottawa,” Ottawa lawyer Paul Champ wrote on Twitter on February 5. The 57-second clip has so far amassed more than 1.2 million views online, and can be seen here. It shows the lawyer opening a sliding door that opens onto a balcony, and panning his camera down onto the street below....
Benjamin Fondane, a French Jew, wrote these poignant words in one of his final poems, Préface en Prose, before being murdered, shortly after his deportation to Auschwitz-Birkenau in May 1944. Fondane’s plea for remembrance was frequently voiced by Jewish people persecuted by the Nazis and their collaborators during World War II; an appeal for a solemn and everlasting commitment by all humanity to recall, in essence, every Holocaust victim. Fondane insisted that we never forget their humanity, their individuality....
For far too long, the federal bureaucracy downplayed, slow-walked or outright ignored the science behind burn pit exposure. As a result, our veterans have been left without the critical care and support they deserve. We must be better as a nation. We cannot turn our backs on the brave service men and women who, while serving their country, were forced to breathe in toxic fumes and smoke from burn pits—in which everything from electronics to tires to human waste were set alight with jet fuel—and are now suffering from associated diseases....
A franchise that had never reached a Western Conference finals, Nashville won three playoff series on its way to its first conference title and appearance in the 2017 Stanley Cup Final. Though the Predators lost the Final in six games to the Penguins, the 2017 playoffs were a coming-out party for the Predators and their fans. “As a city we did get a lot of recognition and I feel like by now we are considered one of the hockey cities in the U....
The pandemic-induced supply chain issues have created shortages on all types of products, from clothes, toys, computer chips and more. As the gift-giving season gets closer, the shortages are expected to worsen, driving customers to buy early and snag an item whenever they see it on the shelf. The number of out-of-stock messages between November 1 and November 29 on online stores rose by 258 percent compared to November 2019, and close to double compared to pre-pandemic levels, according to Adobe Digital Economy Index....
I just received the new version of this best-selling dress, and it was more than worth the wait. You probably recall the 2018 Exercise Dress won close-to-perfect ratings. Credit the dress’s LightSpeed fabric for much of those kudos. How could you not love a lightweight, breathable, quick-drying material? I had lived in Washington, D.C., until 2020, and reside in Austin, Texas, now. Suffice it to say, I understand how damp and sloppy you can feel when you step outside after an exercise class and are quickly enveloped by what seems like a hot, humid sponge....
Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill into law earlier this year that is intended to combat the teaching of critical race theory. A recording obtained by NBC News captures an administrator from Carroll Independent School District—which serves the wealthy, predominantly white Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Southlake—last week instructing teachers to comply with the new law by offering alternate opinions on topics like the Holocaust, despite mainstream views on the Holocaust not being opposed in any substantial or credible manner....
“Looks like Mitch McConnell is folding to the Democrats, again,” Trump wrote in a statement Wednesday evening. “He’s got all of the cards with the debt ceiling, it’s time to play the hand. Don’t let them destroy our Country!” McConnell had said via Twitter earlier in the day, “We will also allow Democrats to use normal procedures to pass an emergency debt limit extension at a fixed dollar amount to cover current spending levels into December....
According to the Seattle Times, the remaining 548 swabs were scheduled to be delivered to the lab for analysis this morning. In light of the incident, the SPD has requested a review of its procedures from the Office of the Inspector General. When properly handled, DNA evidence can be invaluable for helping officers solve cases. Last year in Cleveland, Ohio, Cuyahoga County law enforcement realized that more than 15,000 samples that should have been collected over the span of a decade were not....
More than 200 “Count Every Vote” demonstrations—and counting—have already been planned across the country by Protect the Results, an effort launched by Stand Up America and Indivisible amid the president’s ongoing attacks on mail-in voting and the electoral process. “Our view is that we can’t bury our heads in the sand,” said Sean Eldridge, the founder and president of Stand Up America. “We have to be prepared if he were to try to undermine the election results or to prematurely declare victory....
California’s COVID-19 cases have increased nearly 500 percent in the past two weeks. Since Christmas, hospitalizations have doubled, now totaling 8,000 people. More than 500 LAPD officers and other police department employees plus 300 firefighters tested positive for COVID-19 and are currently not working, said Mayor Eric Garcetti. Because of the staffing shortages, some fire trucks and ambulances have not been operating for 24 hours. However, all firehouses are remaining open, said Chief Ralph Terrazas....
The number of cases reported since the emergence of Omicron is higher than the total number recorded in all of 2020, Tedros said in a COVID briefing Tuesday. He also mentioned a “very worrying increase” of deaths in most areas of the world, with WHO reporting four of its six regions seeing growing trends in deaths over the past four weeks. But while Tedros cautioned that the variant is dangerous and for countries to use “all the tools in the toolkits’ in fighting the virus, many European nations have started to ease on COVID-related measures, the Associated Press reported....
The Change.org petition is demanding that the white supremacist hate group be formally listed as a terrorist organization by the government. Currently, the KKK are classified as a domestic extremist group as there is no definition for domestic terrorism organizations in the U.S. “Ever since the inception of the Ku Klux Klan in December 24,1865 they have terrorized American citizens for the color of their skin and opposing views,” the petition states....
