Most people associate botulinum toxin injections with the treatment of wrinkles; however, this remarkable agent is extremely versatile and used for many other conditions, including spasticity, eye twitch (i.e., blepharospasm), neck contracture (i.e., cervical dystonia), migraines, and overactive bladder. Botox is also used for the treatment of severe underarm sweating (i.e., hyperhidrosis). The story of how we came to inject this microbial toxin into our bodies to treat wrinkles is both fascinating and serendipitous....

Can things work so neatly for the networks in real life? CBS, ABC and NBC have seen their share of the viewing audience slide steadily from 91 percent in 1978-79 to 61 percent last season (chart). The rapid growth of cable television and its networks, like USA, CNN and TBS, broke the networks’ oligopoly and presented channel-surfing viewers with an alternative to Yet another sitcom. But this year there are signs the networks are waking from their slumber-and in fact making a case that mass deliver-v, backed by lots of cash, carries clear advantages in the coming age of hundreds of channels and other video choices....

RELATED: The Rising Of The Shield Hero: Vassal Weapons, Ranked Demi-humans are portrayed as a fictional sub-human race in the anime. They belong to races that resemble humans but have more animal characteristics. Demi-humans, who come from many different ethnic backgrounds, have a wide range of abilities and there are some mighty powerfful ones in the anime/light novel series. 7 Keel Naofumi had a friend named Keel, who everyone in the party mistook for a boy before they learned she was a girl....

Following news earlier today that Ninja will be exclusively streaming on Mixer, Wiseau posted an update to fans on Twitter that simply read “Mixer” with a link to his new channel. There aren’t really any other details about Wiseau’s plans for the platform, or what he even plans on streaming, though some fans have already flocked to Mixer to follow the creator. Given the boost to the director’s notoriety after James Franco’s movie The Disaster Artist, which shed some light on both Wiseau and the creation of The Room, it seems safe to say that Wiseau’s first stream on the platform will wind up being popular....

Opinions are like backsides, everybody has one. Whenever there is an introduction of a new element in our everyday life, there is always a resistance to change; that applies to cricket too. After the DRS debate, the next big thing that has caused a divide amongst cricketers of the past and present, is the debatable rotational policy. There was once a time when the only idea in picking a team was putting forth your best players; the best XI in the country....

Samsung’s “FE” series of devices are popular among consumers because they bring the best features of Samsung’s flagship phones at a slightly lower price tag. Galaxy S21 FE Should Be the Cheapest Entrant in the Galaxy S21 Series As leaked by leaker “OnLeaks” on Voice.com, the Galaxy S21 Fan Edition will likely feature a frosted “Glastic” rear with a shiny metal frame. The device will measure 155.7 x 74.5 x 7....

Voting for the Hall of Fame is serious business, as anyone can tell given the ferocity of the debate surrounding the process. So, it’s never too early to start thinking about the vote. So, a decade from now, who might I wind up voting for? BASEBALL HALL OF FAME 2014: Sporting News’ (hypothetical) ballots By the time I am allowed to vote for Cooperstown, current long-term debate subjects Edgar Martinez, Don Mattingly, Fred McGriff, Mark McGwire, Jack Morris, Tim Raines, Lee Smith and Alan Trammell will all have either gained election to the Hall or come off the ballot....

Indeed, for all the athletes and spectacle at the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony, the event will primarily be remembered for Rowan Atkinson’s revival of his iconic character, Mr. Bean. Supposedly ‘retired’ after the film Mr. Bean’s Holiday premiered in 2007, the lovable buffoon made his triumphant return at the international sporting event, surprising audiences and participants alike. RELATED: Report: 2020 Olympics Postponed But in recent years, titbits of information have been released, explaining the story behind Atkinson’s presence at the ceremony....

While Glaz’s changes seem minor at first glance, his ability to combo with Rainbow Six Siege’s new operator Sens makes him more viable in this season. Sens’ primary gadget, the R.O.U. projection system, is a deployable wheel-like device that leaves small projectors in its path. The projectors create a wall of light that obstructs the vision of players on both sides, and when used in conjunction with Glaz’s HDS Flip Sight, the two make for a deadly duo....

Stables have a special place in the WWE heritage and will surely never go out of style. While there have been many successful factions, there have been numerous failed associations which have turned out to be utterly disastrous. Yes, we are not going to talk about them because let’s face it–no one really remembers unsuccessful associations. Bringing our attention to the hit groups, there is one certain group that has a special place in the hearts of WWE folklore and that is the hounds of justice, The Shield!...

“704 Hauser,” premiering later in the season, finds Lear inverting the usual stereotypes. Not only are the new inhabitants of the Bunkers’ old livingroom set black, but it’s the father who’s the liberal and the son the archconservative. John Amos (“Good Times”) is auto mechanic Ernie Cumberbatch, a veteran of the civil-rights wars of the ’60s with an Archie-size gut and biases to match. His principal antagonist is his son Goodie (T....

Until last week, not so many Americans had even heard of the WTO. Fewer still could have identified it as the small, Geneva-based bureaucracy that the United States and 134 other nations set up five years ago to referee global commerce. To Bill Clinton, it is a mechanism that can allow America to do well and good at the same time. But to many of the 40,000 activists and union members who streamed into Seattle–a clean, scenic city that has grown rich on foreign trade–the WTO is something else again: a secretive tool of ruthless multinational corporations....

We formed our opinions early. And, facts and testimony be damned, we stood our ground. That was as true of whites, according to the polls, as it was of blacks. (Pollsters have not shown much interest in the opinions of Latinos, Asians and others on the matter.) The only difference was that, for the most part, the races came down on different sides. In July 1994 a Gallup poll commissioned by USA Today and CNN found 68 percent of whites saying Simpson was guilty and 60 percent of blacks calling him innocent....

But NEWSWEEK has learned that the defense has lined up about eight witnesses who will cast doubt on the timing of the murder. They will testify either that they heard or saw nothing around 10:20, or that they heard a dog’s barking or other noises later – sometime after 10:30 p.m. One witness, NEWSWEEK has learned, is Denise Pilmak, who lives across the street and several doors down from Nicole’s condo....

Ahead of the final day of action, Omnisport assesses the 12 head-to-head singles battles that will take place. Rory McIlroy (Won 2, Lost 2, Halved 0) v Justin Thomas (Won 3, Lost 1, Halved 0) Thomas and Jordan Spieth have been the United States’ standout pairing, contributing half of the team’s points so far and looking particularly impressive on Saturday. McIlroy, by contrast, has only shown his best form in patches and will surely need to raise his game to give Europe a winning start....

Here’s what else you need to know today: Hill to Die On After the long-awaited and controversial testimony from the U.S. Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland yesterday—in which he said a White House meeting was used as part of a quid pro quo—today’s public hearing will cap off an eventful Week Two. On today’s agenda are David Holmes, a U.S. official at the embassy in Ukraine, and Fiona Hill, President Donald Trump’s former top Russia adviser on the National Security Council, who previously testified that former national security adviser John Bolton called alleged attempts to pressure Ukraine a “drug deal....

As a player of both CoD and Battlefield online multiplayer, it’s safe to say that while we love Battlefield’s emphasis on playing a role in the game, it’s hard not to agree with Michael Pachter’s assessment that Battlefield 3 will not be outselling the next Call of Duty, even though EA and DICE have designed it to do so. Here’s why… Battlefield 2 matches force players to commit for long periods of time....

Mother’s Day as it is observed in the United States started in the 1850s with Ann Jarvis, a West Virginia woman who held “Mothers’ Work Days” to promote health and hygiene at home and in the workplace. During the Civil War, Jarvis organized women to improve sanitary conditions for soldiers on both sides, and after the war she became a pacifist, furthering the cause by bringing together mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers and promoting a Mother’s Day holiday that had explicit pacifist overtones....

The story of that trip—and the speech he delivered to a joint session of Congress the day after Christmas—is worth telling. It revealed Churchill’s status not just as a statesman but as a salesman too. The day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Churchill, who’d just turned 67, packed his bags and headed for America. It would be the most important sales trip of his life—and one of the most important sales of the 20th century....
