According to relationship expert Tammy Nelson, it is possible to spot problematic behavior as early as the first date. “There are several red flags to look for when on a first date that can indicate problems or even toxic behavior further down the line,” she told Newsweek. From invading your personal space, to saying “I love you” before you’ve so much as glanced at the dessert menu, here are the red flags to look out for when getting to know someone new....

Fluid can build up when tiny blood vessels are damaged or when they leak into surrounding tissues. The result is swelling. People with diabetes often have problems with blood flow. When blood doesn’t circulate well, wounds heal slowly or not at all. Swelling makes it harder for wounds to heal. That’s why it’s so important to control it. This article explains how diabetes and other health conditions could cause your lower legs to swell....

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was where a 29-year-old Japanese woman named Masako Owada had chosen to make her life, and this is the life she led: though her father was, and is, a senior official in the ministry, his daughter had risen the same way as everyone else: brains, good schooling and diligence. She went to elite universities, Harvard and Oxford; she graduated magna cum laude; learned, as the child of a globe-trotting diplomat, five languages, and then passed a difficult ministry entrance examination....

Pittance, in my opinion, for one of the best defensive midfielders to grace the football pitch in the last decade. Let me just put this into context for you. He won 4 major trophies at Liverpool, including that dramatic Champions League win against AC Milan, 6 major trophies at Real Madrid, including the league title in 2011/12 and the elusive La Decima in the 2013/14 season. On the international side of things, it gets even better; the World Cup of 2010 sandwiched by two Euros in 2008 and 2012....

Nearly two years later, the data has continued to bear this out. As the New York Times’ David Leonhardt pointed out this week, an unvaccinated child is at less risk of serious Covid illness than a vaccinated 70-year-old—even a vaccinated 40-year-old, according to a British study. Indeed, the realization that COVID infection carries different risks depending on age is a well-known fact internationally. The risks for kids “are similar to the other respiratory viruses you probably don’t think much about,” Alasdair Munro, a Clinical Research Fellow Paediatric Infectious Diseases with NIH in the United Kingdom, explained on Twitter....

WATCH: Ozil blasts Alexis & Monreal But there was one fixture the German termed “near perfect” this season for his side’s execution of their fundamental tenets. The opponents were Hull City, in a Saturday 3pm kick-off back in September, when Adam Lallana scored once before supplying a further two, with Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane also adding to the tally while James Milner converted two penalties in a 5-1 victory....

Ovarian reserve testing is an important series of tests because the results can help direct the healthcare provider to a treatment regimen. For example, a young woman with extremely poor ovarian reserve would likely be treated more aggressively than a young woman with normal reserve. These are often the first group of tests performed, before other, more specialized testing. Not every center is using this test, and those that are aren’t using it for every patient....

However, if rumors are to be believed, then two Marvel titles from EA are supposedly in the works as well. The first is a Black Panther game, a project that was recently discussed by industry insider Jeff Grubb. Afterwards, the prominent leaker Tom Henderson revealed that EA could also be working on an Iron Man game, though they did warn that they are not fully confident in the information and are waiting for confirmation....

NEWSWEEK has learned that U.S. cruise missiles have been programmed to fly up the spin of Iran’s Zagros Mountains just east of the Iraqi border. After 250 miles, the missiles swing southwestward down the Diyala River to Baghdad. Though Pentagon officials believe Iranian radar has never detected the low-flying bombs, Iran may now possess a technology gold mine. In January’s raid on an Iraqi industrial site, one cruise missile disappeared over the Zagros range....

On “Vespertine,” she combines delicate choral arrangements, harp, music box and strings with computer-generated static and metallic clinks and clanks. On one song she even uses the sampled crunch of footsteps in snow for rhythm. It’s also her most intimate album to date. She professes her love for a boy with “magical sensitivity” in skyscraping croons and private, under-the-covers whispers. Later, she decides she must keep her deep feelings in a “hidden place,” but eventually busts out with the defiant mantra “I love him....

Why? Why has Jackson so far been spared the full Pee-wee Herman humiliation? While the coverage ranges from endlessly sensationalist (European tabloids) to laughably fastidious (The New York Times) the bulk of it has been atypically cautious, as if awaiting further signals from the public. It’s not the absence of a smoking gun. That never stopped the media before. What’s curious about this case is that the jackals still haven’t swooped in for the kill....

Simply put, the term silicon lottery refers to the inherent differences between two processors of the same product line. These differences affect overclocking performance. Let’s dive into this a bit more and see why no two processors are the same. How Are CPUs Made? CPU manufacturers like Intel and AMD don’t actually make the CPUs. They design them. Companies like TSMC implement these designs on silicon wafers to make chips....

We know hatred and bigotry is a problem on Facebook. We know it’s a hot topic on Instagram, on Twitter and on YouTube. But what about the most popular app for children and teenagers, TikTok? The app’s popularity has skyrocketed recently, especially among Gen Z. With this comes a frightening rise in online anti-Semitism among youth; children as young as 12 seem to think mocking the Holocaust and Jews is “edgy....

But vindication for the $1.6 billion mission finally came last week, and when it came, it came gloriously. After a 2.3 billion-mile trip, the battle-scarred Galileo and a little acorn-shaped Probe that had been severed from the mother ship on July 12 got within 150,000 miles of Jupiter’s cloudtops. Ten minutes after this closest approach, the 2.8-foot-high Probe plunged like an aluminum meteor into Jupiter’s atmosphere for an unprecedented kamikaze mission: for the first time, an emissary from Earth had entered the atmosphere of a planet beyond Mars....

The fact that it’s being asked reflects a dramatic reversal. In 1979 inflation (as measured by the consumer price index) was 13 percent in the United States. In France, Italy and Britain it was 12, 20 and 17 percent, respectively, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In 1998 inflation in those countries was 1.6 percent (U.S.), 0.3 percent (France), 1.5 percent (Italy) and 2.7 percent (Britain). Behind these figures lies an intellectual revolution....

Although the immediate effects of Category 5 hurricanes are shocking, resulting in floodwaters carry more insidious threats such as waterborne disease. A review of 548 outbreaks dating back to 1900 showed that 51% of these outbreaks were preceded by heavy downpours. Waterborne illnesses are transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Microscopic fecal particles make their way into water and food, thus spreading infection. After heavy flooding, sewage plants fail and release copious amounts of untreated waste....

A lot of the biggest problems with the sequel trilogy arose from the changes in creative direction. J.J. Abrams directed The Force Awakens with one vision for Star Wars’ future, then Rian Johnson directed The Last Jedi with a totally different vision – a contradictory one, even – and then The Rise of Skywalker came along and Abrams bowed down to the fan backlash faced by the previous movies with a conclusion that doesn’t feel true to anything that came before, let alone satisfying as a conclusion to the entire Star Wars saga....
