Diego Simeone’s men looked a far sterner defensive unit than they did in Tuesday’s woeful 3-2 Copa del Rey second-leg defeat to Las Palmas, but going forward looked devoid of craft for long periods. Initially they looked bright in attack and Gaitan, who was given just his fourth league start of the season after impressing on Tuesday, repaid Simeone’s faith with the opener. There was little else for Atletico supporters to get excited about, though, as Betis produced a strong performance of their own with home goalkeeper Miguel Angel Moya impressing....

The 22-year-old France international has been subject of interest from Arsenal and Liverpool among others, but he now appears destined for a move to La Liga. The Guadeloupe-born attacker joined Monaco from Caen ahead of the 2015-16 season, and eventually established himself as one of Ligue 1’s best left-sided players. Lemar broke through in the 2016-17 campaign, scoring 14 goals and adding 17 assists as Monaco won Ligue 1 and reached the Champions League semi-finals....

The Nuclear Power Source I’d like to congratulate NEWSWEEK on its report on nuclear power and the alarming state of the world’s aging nuclear-power infrastructure (“Where Is the Next Chernobyl?” Europe, Oct. 18). It’s time for all of us to start talking about this problem. Everyone knows what kinds of disasters it may bring about–not only for the people who live near reactors, but for the entire human race.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition characterized by inflammation of the skin (dermatitis). Most cases of atopic dermatitis are thought to occur due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Contact dermatitis develops when the skin comes in contact with something that triggers a reaction. Properly identifying the type of eczema is key to getting the correct treatment. In some cases, the difference between the two is quite obvious; in other cases, it is not....

Thursday’s final score at Red Bull Arena may have read 1-0 to the New York Red Bulls, but Atlanta’s defense did the job of protecting a three-goal lead, limiting the Red Bulls chances for 90 minutes before a late Tim Parker consolation goal spoiled the shutout, but not Atlanta United’s MLS Cup-clinching series win. “I think we’ve had some big performances throughout the year where we had to sit on leads and grind wins out,” Atlanta United captain Michael Parkhurst told Goal....

Outspoken anti-Trump celebrities had a strong reaction to the remarks with Alyssa Milano labeling the incumbent a “f****** racist” while Jim Gaffigan called him a “racist pig.” Trump was asked if would condemn “white supremacists and militia groups” and pressed to do so by Fox News moderator Chris Wallace and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. The president asked: “Who would you like me to condemn?” To which Biden said Proud Boys, a group labeled extremist and with “ties to white nationalism” by the FBI which has been involved in acts of violence amid protests and seen attacking BLM protesters in recent months....

A study published in the journal JAMA Neurology found a total of around 8,900 steps per day appeared to slow rates of cognitive decline and brain volume loss in people who were at high risk. The individuals were considered at risk because of the levels of amyloid beta—a protein thought to play a role in Alzheimer’s— in their brain. Dr. Jasmeer Chhatwal, Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and co-author of the research, told Newsweek: “These results suggest that very achievable levels of physical activity may be protective in those at high risk of cognitive decline and that this effect can be augmented further by lowering vascular risk....

‘RAW’ thoughts Am I the only one who … … found it curious that Finn Balor was back wearing his rainbow T-shirt after not having it on at the “Greatest Royal Rumble” in Saudi Arabia? Balor debuted the “Balor Club Is For Everyone” shirt — which was designed to promote inclusivity of the LBGTQ community — at WrestleMania 34, but he did not wear it in Saudi Arabia, where same-sex sexuality is illegal and punishable with imprisonment, torture or even death....

The vaccination center locating feature can be accessed by asking: “Alexa, where can I get a COVID-19 test?...

The camera view is of a two-story home with some Christmas decorations and a basketball hoop in the driveway. After disappearing out of view for a few seconds, the driver appears and dunks a basketball on the basket before the video cuts. People were skeptical about the 11-second video and whether the individual was actually fired from the company for a simple dunk. Others questioned who recorded the footage, as well as where the basketball came from....

In a video shared to Huseman’s TikTok account, Kelsey can be seen approaching the house while handing advice via the doorbell camera on how to make it safer. In a sing-song tune, she said: “Hello Jennifer, I hope your Monday is going well. You have no markers on your house, and that [makes it] hard to find your house.” But delivery driver Kelsey’s concern wasn’t just for the ease of her own job, but the safety of Huseman in an emergency....

After a jury ruled that Heard had defamed Depp in June, Heard and her legal team sought a retrial, citing several different reasons why the initial trial had been illegitimate. One of the biggest claims was an alleged fraud committed by Juror 15, who was accused of taking the summons from his father who goes by the same name. “Juror 15 had a birth year of 1945. Juror 15, however, was clearly born later than 1945....

Airlines like American and Spirit are scrambling to deal with the increase in travel demand this summer as they have fewer employees than before the coronavirus pandemic. U.S. air travel has already recovered to about 80 percent of 2019 levels. The union representing American’s pilots accused the airline’s management for the shortage, claiming there was poor planning. “It’s pretty simple,” said union spokesman Dennis Tajer. “They don’t have enough pilots, and they don’t have modern scheduling practices to do more with what they have....

Well, hybrid cars–which are supposed to feature a fuel-saving, small gasoline engine and a self-recharging, battery-powered motor to supplement it–are becoming just as ubiquitous as paninis. How ubiquitous? Consider this: Even GMC, a company known for pickup trucks and SUVs so big that the “GMC” nameplate on the grille is bigger than my apartment, is even getting in on the act. Starting this summer, GMC will sell a hybrid version of its Sierra pickup truck....

So every fall, amid the kind of hype that typically accompanies the return of the swallows to Capistrano, Nabisco rolls out the red carpet for the beloved Mallomar. Because the chocolate would supposedly melt during shipping, Nabisco says it can only offer the Mallomar from early October through April. So every September, publicists for Nabisco wisely distribute case upon case of fresh Mallomars to editors around the country. Subsequently, media coverage of the return of the Mallomars runs the full journalistic gamut from the cliche (“They’re ba-a-a-a-ck!...

That rhetoric sounds great. Unfortunately, it is just rhetoric. The reality is that without appropriate protection of technological advance, these investments risk ceding competitiveness to Beijing. The U.S. foreign investment review process—overseen by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)—is allowing Beijing-linked entities access to potentially game-changing semiconductor innovation. The latest example: at the end of August, just two weeks after the CHIPS Act became law, Chinese-funded AlphaWave IP Group announced that its planned acquisition of California-based OpenFive had been approved by all regulators, including CFIUS....

The survey found that overall, 46 percent of U.S. adults are “very” or “somewhat” worried about becoming a victim of terrorism and 45 percent are similarly concerned about a mass shooting. Around one in five (22 percent) Americans are “not worried at all” about they or a family member becoming a victim of terrorism while more than a quarter (27 percent) are similarly unconcerned about mass shootings. The questions were asked of separate randomly selected halves of the sample between September 16 and 30, with each question having around 1,200 respondents....

According to the latest survey from Harvard CAPS-Harris pollsters, a little more than a quarter (27 percent) of U.S. voters believe the country is on the right track—an all-time low since the monthly poll began in February 2017. When the same poll was conducted in February, the proportion of U.S. voters who thought the country was on the right track was 14 points higher, with 41 percent believing America was heading in a good direction....
