When Is Suicide Most Common in Cancer Patients? According to a 2019 study, suicide is most common in the first 3 months after someone is diagnosed with cancer. With an overall risk twice that of the general population, this risk can be as much as 13 times the average suicide risk in those newly diagnosed with cancer. Suicidal ideation—defined by the CDC as “thinking about, considering, or planning for suicide”—occurs in almost 6% of people with cancer....
There is an eerie equanimity about the president these days. While his aides recognize his growing reputation for weakness and indecision, Clinton seems content to carry on like the ultimate seminar leader, conducting an endless debate on the issues-as the facts on the ground keep changing-without ever resolving them. The process by which he has struggled toward a Bosnia policy has sometimes more closely resembled a lunch at the Council on Foreign Relations than a crisis meeting of the president’s national-security team....
America’s “space agency” picking up the UFO ball was bound to raise eyebrows and concerns for NASA’s reputation. But if it’s handled well, the commission could do more than shed much-needed light on UAPs. It could also give Americans a masterclass in the most basic, most important, and unfortunately, most boring topic in science: Standards of Evidence. They are the key to knowing if we are alone in the Universe or not....
The NHL approved a proposal by Seattle Hockey Partners (an ownership group led by David Bonderman, Jerry Bruckheimer and Tod Leiweke) in 2018 to grant an expansion franchise to Seattle. After nearly two years of work, the franchise was officially unveiled Thursday morning. “We met deposit day with 32,000 passionate fans and scores of prospective team names,” a statement for the name reads. “One in particular emerged quickly as the frontrunner....
The findings probably won’t come as a surprise to the average bartender: When guy fruit flies become alcoholics they dramatically increase their attempts to copulate with other flies. The study, published Wednesday in the peer-reviewed online journal of the Public Library of Science, PLoS ONE, is one of the first to take a scientific look at the physiological relationship between alcohol consumption and sexual behavior. And it might just reveal a thing or two about the science of human sexual behavior under the influence of alcoholism....
I was 9 when Alger got to Lewisburg and 13 when he got out. The first time my mother and I went to Lewisburg, knowing nothing about prisons except The New Yorker cartoons of men in stripes, I was so unsure of what to expect I handed the guard at the desk inside the front gate a bunch of wildflowers that I had just picked. He did not look pleased....
RELATED: 10 Times That The Simpsons Accurately Predicted The Future But even the most enlightened minds belong to humans and can blurt out some really dumb things. And because of her wisdom and genius, people often forget, that Lisa is just a child, and children can often say dumb things. As Bart sang, “Lisa is so stupid. So very, very stupid. So dumb and stupid, and smelly, too.” 10 “Solitude Never Hurt Anyone” During season 8’s episode, “The Secret War of Lisa Simpson,” Lisa utters the line, “Solitude never hurt anyone....
Aging in the Sims There are seven total live stages in the Sims 4: baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, adult, and elder. Toddler was not originally part of the life stages of this game; it was only added as another step in the lifecycle in Patch 46, proof that the Sims 4 continues to grow even into 2021. Unless a player has aging turned off, a player’s sims will age as the game progresses, switching naturally from one live stage to the next in a set period of time....
The Herculean Cameroonian heavyweight just beat one of the all-time great heavyweights, Stipe Miocic, to claim the UFC Heavyweight Championship. There is seemingly no one ready to stop the reign of ‘The Predator ‘. Francis Ngannou’s Background Francis was born in a village in Batie, Cameroon. Crippled by poverty, he worked in sand quarries to support his single mother. He decided to move to Europe at the age of 26, to pursue a career in boxing....
But the gods have apparently decided otherwise. America has made it clear that it is willing to parachute relief supplies into beleaguered eastern Bosnia, but not ground troops or bombs. Instead, the United States counsels accepting bitter defeat and soon. That’s why Vice President Al Gore advised Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic to return to the peace talks, led by Cyrus Vance and Lord David Owen, and try to get the best deal....
It must be said that Sucker Punch Productions never intended for Tsushima to be historically accurate title, hence the inclusion of haiku, hundreds of years before the artform’s actual advent, and Jin’s use of a katana as opposed to a tachi. These touches are meant to cater to a very specific, yet half-imagined vision of Japan. While one could easily write off such artistic decisions as pandering to samurai film buffs who don’t know better, the emotional reactions the game manages to achieve with this formula are genuine—especially when players are allowed to fill in the blanks and contemplate things on their own terms....
Real Madrid has spent more money than any other football club in the world to build what Steve McManaman, a British player for the team, says is “arguably the best side of all time.” But it has bled euros to get there–by some estimates as much as 500 million euros since 2000. “I get the feeling there’s no financial strategy except buying players,” says Tim Crow of Karen Earl Sponsorship, a London sports consultancy....
The militants had one aim: to keep the favored secular candidate, Megawati Sukarnoputri, from winning the top job. Their single-minded campaign ended last week with the victory of a frail, nearly blind Muslim scholar, Abdurrahman Wahid. But the battle began months ago, even before last June’s parliamentary elections. In May the country’s supreme Islamic council, the Indonesian Ulama Board, ruled that a woman leading the nation would be contrary to scriptural law....
Amers-Morrison had earned some recognition for his coaching abilities in the mid 2000s. Having established a community samba soccer academy in his native London, he won an award for his efforts. All well and good, but not exactly the usual background of a national team coach. But when a local journalist mistakenly reported that former Manchester City captain Andy Morrison was on the island, the local FA pounced, immediately offering Amers-Morrison the national team manager’s job, believing they had pulled off something of a coup in attracting an ex-Premier League player to coach their side....

The main Command & Conquer series has been on a bit of a hiatus ever since the release of Tiberian Twilight in 2010. There was a mobile game and a browser game, but those were nothing compared to the earlier days of the franchise. The series has remained pretty dormant, until 2020 when the first two games returned in with Command & Conquer Remastered Collection. Fans were excited to see the original titles remastered, but they have been left wondering what comes next for the franchise....
This week Congress will take up the debate when the Senate considers an amendment to this year’s defense authorization bill allowing women to fly fighter planes. The proposal easily passed the House in May. Supporters say they’ve heard very few “Hell, no’s”-a measure of progress for such a controversial topic. Still, Lawrence Korb, a defense analyst, thinks the Senate will recommend that a commission study the issue, a course that all sides agree is a delaying tactic....
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, “there’s optimism” within the Nets organization that there will be a four-to-six-week timeline for Durant’s rehab and eventual return to action. MORE: Where does Durant rank among NBA’s best players? It should go without saying that the Nets will be greatly impacted by the absence of Durant, who is averaging a league-leading 29.3 points to go along with 7.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game....
After making his debut at the age of 16 years and 298 days in the 5-2 defeat of Real Betis in August, he became Barca’s youngest LaLiga goalscorer after coming on to score in the 2-2 draw at Osasuna a week later. With Messi still not ready to be risked and Ousmane Dembele also sidelined, Ernesto Valverde made the bold call of handing Fati his full debut in Saturday’s 5-2 win over Valencia at Camp Nou....
Background The antiretroviral drug Sustiva (efavirenz) has long been a focus of concern, with earlier treatment guidelines advising against its use, at least during the first trimester, due to a possible risk of teratogenicity (birth defects). The recommendations have since changed and now allow for the use of Sustiva, albeit as an alternative to preferred agents such as Descovy (emtricitabine + tenofovir AF), Prezista (darunavir), and Isentress (raltegravir). In response to these early reports, the U....
