The FIGC said copies of The Diary of Anne Frank and Primo Levi’s If This Is A Man will be exchanged by team captains before kick-off of every Italian league game, with the books then donated to children....

Washington is winning the arms-sales competition in the rest of the Third World, according to the report. In 1990, U.S. agreements to sell arms to Third World countries jumped to $18.5 billion, compared with about $8 billion in 1989. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union’s arms-sales agreements with the Third World dropped from $13 billion in 1989 to $12.1 billion in 1990. It was the first time in seven years that U....

Fortunately for Microsoft, the evolutionary landscape for pen-based computers is much friendlier than in years previous. The Tablet PC cleverly exploits today’s mightier chips, smarter digitizers, sharper screens, cannier software and newly pervasive wireless connectivity. Microsoft made a lot of wise decisions, notably an emphasis on manipulating actual writing instead of slavishly (and clumsily) translating your scribbles into text. The ability to send handwritten e-mail and instant messages also provides a personal touch....

Schroeder said Herman promised Houston he would not leave the Cougars as long as they matched any offer he received. He’s also angry at Herman for vowing not to attempt to bring Houston recruits with him to Texas, a promise he reportedly is not keeping. Here’s the screenshot of the Facebook post in which Schroeder called Herman “a Judas.” CFB PLAYOFF SCENARIOS: 9 ways this could unfold Note reason No....

The young man who falls for her is pathologically shy, emotionally crippled Lars Lindstrom (Ryan Gosling). He lives in a converted garage outside the home of his brother Gus (Paul Schneider) and Gus’s pregnant wife Karin (Emily Mortimer), who adores and worries about her reclusive brother-in-law, a fellow so withdrawn she counts it a triumph if he’ll venture inside their home for dinner. In fact, everyone in their small, snow-banked Midwestern town is fond of this very odd duck, for reasons that are never quite explained....

All-Star big man Anthony Davis has been sidelined since Dec. 18 with a sprained MCL in his left knee and while he’s inching closer to his return, he will be out for the team’s Jan. 23 meeting with the Heat, per head coach Frank Vogel. How long will the Lakers be without Davis? Here’s everything we know about the injury. What is Anthony Davis’ injury? According to the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, the medial collateral ligament (MCL) is located on the inner side of the knee and prevents the knee from collapsing inward....

During the third quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 117-87 win over the New York Knicks, Davis fell awkwardly after attempting to block a shot from Julius Randle and sustained a bruised sacrum—the lower part of the spine close to the tailbone. The former New Orleans Pelicans star landed on his back and it was immediately obvious he was in pain, as he remained on the floor for approximately two minutes and pounded the court in frustration after his landing....

“It takes a load off me,” Davis said Wednesday after the Lakers’ 126-93 preseason win against the Warriors (per ESPN). “It feels good knowing that you don’t have to do much. Everybody has a role, and when you have guys all over the board who can score the basketball, you don’t need to do everything every possession.” Lakers coach Frank Vogel agreed with Davis, saying the workflow between James and the 26-year-old center will allow both players to stay fresh throughout the entire season....

Things went from bad to worse when All-Star forward LeBron James — who was doing everything for his team with averages of 24.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game — suffered an adductor strain that would force him to miss up to two weeks of game action. And while losing James was seen to be another nail in the Lakers’ coffin early in the season, Los Angeles was able to find a silver lining in the absence of its best player....

Speaking to MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin, who was filling in for Rachel Maddow on Wednesday night, Fauci suggested that some of the children currently being treated at medical facilities were hospitalized with COVID as opposed to “because of COVID.” He added that some children who are currently listed as being in hospital with COVID may actually be receiving treatment for “a broken leg or appendicitis,” rather than for a severe reactions to the virus....

WBA Super, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s next fight won’t be against WBC champion Deontay Wilder after negotiations reached an impasse. Instead, Joshua will defend his titles next against Alexander Povetkin on Sept. 22 in front of what is expected to be a full house at Wembley Stadium in London. The fight will be live-streamed exclusively on DAZN in the U.S. For the past few months, Wilder and Joshua were seemingly engaged in talks to unify the titles....

This article discusses anthrax, its current vaccination recommendations, and the history of anthrax vaccination for military troops. What Is Anthrax? Anthrax is a rare disease caused by a bacteria called Bacillus anthracis that lives in the soil. The disease usually affects animals, such as cattle, sheep, and goats, since they become infected when they breathe in or ingest spores from contaminated soil, plants, or water.

“Under our ads policies, we do not allow ads that promote harmful health claims,” Google spokesperson Christa Muldoon told Newsweek in an email. “This includes claims about the abortion reversal pill’s safety.” Muldoon said that Live Action’s promotional ad, entitled “Baby Olivia,” an animation that was created to provide a medically accurate portrayal of a baby’s development in the womb, was blocked for less than 24 hours before being reinstated Tuesday afternoon....

When Pierce failed to appear at a Wednesday court hearing for Capitol riot suspect Shane Jenkins, his colleague Ryan Marshall told the judge, “Mr. Pierce is in the hospital, we believe, with COVID-19, on a ventilator, non-responsive,” The Independent reported. Pierce has publicly made comments against the COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates. On August 17, Pierce tweeted, “The entire 82nd Airborne couldn’t make me get an experimental government vaccine stuck in my arm....

Antifa Seven Hills issued a lengthy statement after Vice News reported the group would be attending a rally to protest pending gun control legislation in front of the Virginia Capital in Richmond on January 20. Vice reported that while conservative gun-rights activists and antifa appear to be “unlikely bedfellows,” Antifa Seven Hills “believe they’ve got more in common with working-class white Virginians, regardless of their political bent” than many moderate Democrats....

The 26-year-old forward joined Amakhosi from Chicken Inn at the beginning of the season - having helped the latter win the 2015 Zimbabwean Premier Soccer League (ZPSL) title. His former coach at Chicken Inn, Antipas, who is now in charge of National First Division (NFD) side AmaZulu, has backed the striker to come good for Chiefs. “Having worked with Michelle at Chicken Inn, and knowing his ability as a fearless striker with an eye for goal, I have no doubt that once he has fully found his feet at Chiefs he is bound to be their reliable striker,” Antipas told Vodacom Soccer....

Chelsie Kyriss, who has three sons with Brown, shared an emotional message on her Instagram account Wednesday saying she and her children would distance themselves from Brown, whom Kyriss implored to receive treatment for what she described as mental health issues. Kyriss’ post comes after Brown and his trainer reportedly got into an altercation with a truck driver on Tuesday. That incident happened a week after Brown live-streamed a disturbing, profanity-laced video in which he accused Kyriss of attempting to steal a Bentley parked in his driveway after she picked up their kids....

“It’s a circus there,” an assistant coach from another team told Bleacher Report last September. “And Mike has no control over it.” Did he, though? Might Tomlin have asserted more authority over Brown, drawn more production from him than a typical NFL coach would have managed? In baseball they talk about WAR, a stat that quantifies how many victories a player is worth compared to an average player who’d replace him....

America’s relations with China began to erode during former President Donald Trump’s final year in office, and the presidential transition has done little to ease tensions. China has grown closer to Russia and more obstinate toward the United States, taking nearly daily jabs at America, including over what it deems a hypocritical stance toward Beijing. Blinken acknowledged that America bears responsibility for making sure democracy is “strong, resilient and meeting the needs of its people....

The answer is osteocalcin, a hormone produced in the bones. Gerard Karsenty, a geneticist at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, is one of the scientists behind this decades-long exploration of fight-or-flight. According to reporting by Scientific American, Karsenty began his work with a study of calcification, hypothesizing that osteocalcin—a skeletal element discovered in the 1970s—was the key component of the bone hardening process. However, Karsenty’s experiments yielded a different result....
