The herb is also used in cooking and as a flavoring agent in alcoholic beverages such as gin and benedictine. What Is Angelica Used For? There has been some research to investigate the effects that angelica may have on health....
Two deposed ninth-inning relievers changed addresses Friday, as the Angels traded Ernesto Frieri to the Pirates for Jason Grilli. The Pirates announced the trade about 45 minutes before their game vs. the Mets. Grilli recently lost his closing job to Mark Melancon, while Frieri had given way to Joe Smith and others. “We traded a struggling closer for a struggling closer with the idea that a change of scenery will help both,” Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto told reporters, per Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register....
In December 2017, general manager Billy Eppler convinced Shohei Ohtani, the superstar two-way player from Japan, that his franchise was the best destination for his jump to MLB. Last spring, Eppler convinced superstar Mike Trout to sign a lucrative long-term extension to stay with the organization that drafted him instead of testing the free-agent waters. And on Wednesday, Eppler convinced Joe Maddon, the biggest name on the managerial free-agent market, to come back to where he began his coaching journey....
The incident reportedly took place in the town of Kitui in Kenya and first came to light after Nairobi governor Mike Sonko posted an image of the gate to Facebook. In the picture, an average-sized green snake can be seen wrapped around the lock of an orange colored gate. Writing alongside the post, Sonko explained that the landlord decided to wrap the reptile around the lock “after tenants failed to clear September and October rent arrears....
A squirrel and a bird joined the Pirates on the field during the bottom of first inning, drawing the attention of the Cardinals’ bench while leadoff hitter Matt Carpenter was squaring off against Pirate ace Gerrit Cole. MORE: Live animal mascots Unlike the squirrel that interrupted the Tigers-Royals game last week, this little critter did not cause a delay, but it did decide to relax in the Cardinals’ dugout during the second inning....

Why See a Specialist? Ankylosing spondylitis is a complex condition to recognize and treat, and a correct diagnosis can take many years.

On July 22, Matt Drudge’s influential right-wing news aggregation website The Drudge Report ran the Washington Examiner’s story on how the Trump administration has only replaced around 205 miles of already installed barriers in the 30 months he has been president as its main article. The Drudge Report ran the story on the site with its own headline of “Paper: No New Wall At All!” Tweeting a picture of Drudge’ s headline, which features heavily across the top of the site, Coulter wrote: “I guess @realDonaldTrump is too chicken to call @DRUDGE a wacky nutjob....
The threat comes a day after Greene released a nearly 10-minute video in which she stated that Ukrainians are fighting “a war [against Russia] they cannot win.” Her video—posted on Facebook Live hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to the U.S. Congress—also criticized President Joe Biden for “saber-rattling” and “dragging America into World War III” by offering financial and military support to Ukraine. While Greene’s comments echoed those of other conservative pundits, they likely angered the hacker group, since the collective has actively pursued Russian cyber targets since Russia invaded Ukraine....
Rivals fear Microsoft will bundle the Internet portal with the next generation of its Windows operating system, Windows 95, and charge a price lower than what other companies must do in order to survive. “Microsoft can keep undercutting competitors until they die out,” says Richard Shaffer of Technologic Partners in New York, noting the announcement will inevitably raise new questions about Microsoft’s market power. Last week several computer companies asked a federal judge to review the antitrust settlement agreed to by Microsoft and the justice Department in July, on the ground that it does nothing to increase competition....
MORE: LeBron James no longer single-best player according to ‘2K’ Davis was also on the cover of “NBA 2K16,” although that was a year in which Stephen Curry and James Harden also had their own covers for the game. It was random as to which player consumers would receive on their purchased copy (an insert was included with the others so they could be switched out, however). It seems unlikely that the cover curse attributed to “NBA 2K” will afflict Davis and the Lakers....
Anthony Davis led the Pelicans with 29 points and 10 rebounds, but his postgame comments caught the most attention. MORE: Hawks make history | Chris Rock roasts Mark Jackson | Popovich talks TV interviews The star forward said the Warriors treated the game like a “scrimmage,” and his team took that personally. One fan seemed to corroborate Davis’ story. It shouldn’t come as a surprise the Warriors may take a night off....
Introduced by Sesame Street’s Elmo, children asked Fauci hard-hitting questions, including how did Kris Kringle get the vaccine and how can he safely deliver presents to kids who have been good all year long. “Will Santa still be able to visit me in coronavirus this season? What if he can’t go to anyone’s house or near his reindeer?” one child said. With a smile, Fauci said he himself had vaccinated Saint Nick, who would still be able to make his annual visit down the chimney....
While the media has been busy for months rebuking Rogan for his casual view of the pandemic while supporting Fauci and his far more hard-line approach, a polling firm has taken on the important question of which of the two would Americans prefer to have at their upcoming Thanksgiving celebration. The winner by a nose? Rogan with 51.3 percent compared to Fauci at 48.7 percent. Unsurprisingly, the vote broke down largely along party lines, with 83....
According to the report, there was talk ringside Saturday at Dillian Whyte’s victory over Oscar Rivas at London’s O2 Arena that Joshua might fight again before facing Ruiz. Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, has dismissed those whispers, saying an alternative to Joshua-Ruiz II is “not even up for negotiation.” “Do you think Joshua wants a warm-up? No,” Hearn told “5 Live Boxing,” adding that Cardiff’s Principality Stadium in Wales was the “front-runner” to host the rematch on Dec....
Well, Joshua woke up Sunday and posed a question to Fury and his 2.1 million Twitter followers: “Why so serious?” MORE: Join DAZN and see more than 70 fight nights a year Joshua threw in a clown emoji for good measure along with a screenshot of Fury blocking him on Twitter.

[Second note to editor: Oops! Sorry about that. I thought this sort of thing only happened in old sports comedy movies starring John Belushi. Here’s the rewrite.] Anthony Joshua has enjoyed rock-star popularity in his native England. He’s charismatic, articulate, gracious, charming and might have the prettiest smile ever for a heavyweight champion not named Muhammad Ali. After a ragged adolescence, he found purpose in the sweet science. Now 29 years old, he looks back on his early days and says, “I realized I was getting in trouble for fighting in the streets and getting patted on the back for boxing....
The scene took place as ballots were being counted in Glasgow on Friday, a day after local elections had taken place across the United Kingdom. Scottish National Party (SNP) candidate Humza Yousaf who has served as Scotland’s justice secretary, said he was approached by Derek Jackson, a candidate for Glasgow Southside for the Liberal Party, which is not connected to the much bigger party, the Liberal Democrats. Video shared on social media shows Jackson along with his supporters earlier entering the Emirates Arena in Glasgow giving salutes with their right hands....
Since the coronavirus began infecting people in the central Chinese city of Wuhan late last year, more than 3.5 million people have been diagnosed with COVID-19, over a million have recovered and almost 248,000 have died, according to Johns Hopkins University. The team, whose research was published in the journal Nature Communications, have been exploring whether what are known as monoclonal antibodies could help patients with COVID-19. Currently there is no vaccine or specific treatment for the disease....
Martial: I love Manchester United and I want to stay The French attacker scored to make it 2-0 against Bayer Leverkusen in Tuesday’s Champions League round-of-16 first leg, his 13th goal for Atletico in European competition. The strike means the 25-year-old surpassed the tally of Atletico legend Luis Aragones, who scored 12 times in Europe for the Rojiblancos. At such a young age, Griezmann could make his record untouchable in future seasons – but he won’t get that chance if a rumoured move to Manchester United materialises in the near future....
