Production meetings for the upcoming Netflix drama are being managed through remote channels. While under lockdown, the Social Distance scribes do not have to attend the writer’s room and can work on their scripts from home. Showrunner Hilary Weisman Graham will carry on production from her own household. While keeping a safe distance, Diego Velasco will direct the cast by remote as well. To me, this sounds like a complicated and challenging approach to making a TV show....

Seasons changed, time crept by and I realized the chimes had stopped ringing. That lovely melody was gone. However, I didn’t immediately correct the situation. It reminds me a bit of what many of us have experienced during these last two years. Sometimes things change and we don’t even notice. For me, action happened when a storm blew those chimes off the branch into a heap on the ground. From a distance, I thought the heap was a dead animal....

Knowing the level of care you need—and whether you should go to an emergency room, urgent care facility, doctor’s office, or telemedicine—can ensure that you get appropriate treatment. Medical Emergencies If you have a medical emergency, you should call 911 and go to the emergency room. This includes any injury or illness for which a lack of immediate treatment may cause harm. This can include, among other things: Choking Trouble breathing or lack of breathing Persistent severe vomiting or diarrhea Coughing or throwing up blood Passing out or fainting Cardiac arrest Severe chest pain or pressure Sudden weakness on one side of the body Broken bones, especially if pushing through the skin Deep wounds Heavy bleeding Severe burns Severe allergic reaction with swelling and trouble breathing Accidental poisoning or overdose Electrical shock Head injury with fainting or confusion Neck or spine injury with a loss of feeling or movement Suicidal ideation and intentions Seizures...

One would think, then, that dopamine should be given as soon as possible. There are other options, though. In addition to given dopamine directly (a drug called carbidopa-levodopa), Parkinson’s disease patients may benefit from a class of drugs called dopamine agonists. These are drugs that aren’t dopamine but have similar effects on the nervous system. Some physicians have argued that dopamine agonists should be used earlier in the disease’s course and that only elderly patients with at least moderate disability should receive levodopa....

The play was originally ruled incomplete before the review. Mack slammed to the turf and headed to the locker room afterward. That demonstrates how difficult it was for No. 2 Ohio State to come up with the big play in a 31-16 loss to the Sooners at Ohio Stadium.

These include the ‘U.K. variant’ that has spread quickly through Britain and onto 101 countries around the world, and the South Africa variant that has given rise to concerns about vaccine resistance. In addition, a new variant of COVID may be spreading rapidly in New York, according to a preprint report that has not yet been peer-reviewed. Here is what we know about the variants that have emerged in the state....

I lived in Herat, Afghanistan from 2012-13, working for an American nonprofit and managing a program to help recently returned refugees and internally displaced persons learn income-generating skills, from growing strawberries to fixing refrigerators. I managed a team of 26 Afghans, and our office in Herat employed about 100. We were one of many aid and military organizations operating in the region, including a myriad of U.N. agencies, NATO member-funded initiatives and grassroots NGOs....

Gabor doesn’t have a honker that’s on the fritz. Rather, her penchant for “man sweat” is all in her genes, according to new research from Rockefeller and Duke Universities published this week in the journal Nature. Scientists have previously found an association between male sweat and female arousal, but this study is the first to find a gene that is linked to the ability to smell a specific chemical in the sweat....

This means that if you are diagnosed with hepatitis C and don’t know how you got it—you can’t blame your infection on sharing a fork with someone. Read on about other ways that you can’t catch or transmit hepatitis C. Sharing a Fork, Spoon, and Glass You’re at a restaurant and someone at your table offers a taste of their delicious cheesecake. Should you politely pass? Well, not if you’re worried about catching hepatitis C....

The top late-night TV hosts were anxious for the end of the week during Thursday night’s shows—mostly because they were excited to celebrate the special women of their lives on Mother’s Day. Although many people won’t be able to spend the day as he normally would this year, Jimmy Kimmel had a few bright ideas on how to honor mom on Mother’s Day: give her some quiet time in the car away from the kids and deliver her a “cargarita,” a....

Although hosts were still filming from the comforts of their homes, many of them expanded their minilogues into longer segments. Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert even put on their suits while Trevor Noah, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers opted for more casual attire. Speaking of Meyers, the Late Night host—who began sharing new installments of his signature “A Closer Look” series last week—also featured his first guest since filming from home: Vermont Senator (and hopeful Democratic candidate for president) Bernie Sanders....

The Democratic presidential front-runner appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s YouTube series and answered a string of questions about the coronavirus pandemic and President Donald Trump’s response. Meanwhile, over on The Daily Show, Trevor Noah got the facts about the rapidly spreading virus from Dr. Anthony Fauci, while Jimmy Fallon got down to the nitty-gritty with Alec Baldwin, who has been spending his lockdown cooking, cleaning and doing laundry. Check out some of the best moments from Thursday night’s shows below....

Tickborne Illnesses Other than Lyme disease, there are several other serious conditions that are commonly spread to humans and other mammals by tick bites. Lyme disease: Transmitted by the western black-legged tick along the Pacific coast and the black-legged tick (commonly referred to as the deer tick) in the northeastern region of the United States Babesiosis: Caused by a parasite that lives on the black-legged tick Ehrlichiosis: Transmitted by the Lone Star tick, which is primarily in the south central and eastern regions of the United States Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever: Transmitted by several species of ticks including the American dog tick, Rocky Mountain wood tick, and the brown dog tick Anaplasmosis: Transmitted primarily by the black-legged tick Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI): Transmitted from tick bites from the Lone Star tick found in the southeastern and eastern regions of the United States Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever (TBRF): Transmitted from infected soft ticks (associated with ticks in rustic cabins or vacation homes) in 15 states across the United States Tularemia: Transmitted by the dog tick, the wood tick, and the Lone Star tick; prevalent throughout the United States...

Causes The shoulder is considered the most movable joint in the body, but because of its range of motion, it’s also less stable than other joints. To remain stable, the shoulder is supported by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The degenerative process associated with osteoarthritis can affect the shoulder, though it is less commonly affected than other joints. Osteoarthritis in the acromioclavicular joint can be painful and can cause problems when you move your shoulder during everyday tasks....

MANY FAMILIES who’ve had problems with foreign adoptions say they were unaware of the risks and unprepared for the challenges. Here are some suggestions for prospective parents from those who’ve been there: This is perhaps the simplest step you can take, and certainly among the most important. Ask for references, especially from parents who’re adopted from the specific country-or even specific orphanage-you may be considering. Ask tough questions, and do not accept blithe assurances....

Releasing on June 10 for Nintendo Switch, Mario Strikers: Battle League takes the sport of soccer and paints a thick layer of cartoon-y violence over the top. For those who find Mario Tennis a little too basic, and Mario Golf a little too meandering, Mario Strikers: Battle League may just be the chaotic, fast-paced action they’ve been looking for. RELATED: June 2022 Should Be Especially Exciting for Nintendo Switch Gamers...

But then Faustino Asprilla has always been - and continues to be - one of a kind, with his exploits either side of the white lines during and after his playing career generating numerous headlines. Spurs 12/1 to win Premier League There are many Tino tales - some true, others embellished and a further selection which are entirely apocryphal. And while his achievements as a player - 57 caps and 20 goals for Colombia, four European trophies with Parma - are to be applauded, it is arguably his exploits off the field for which Asprilla, who has just celebrated his 48th birthday, has gained greater notoriety....

Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan revealed on Saturday that he will interview “10 or 12″ candidates hoping to succeed Roberto Martinez as manager next week. Wigan, who were relegated from the Premier League despite winning the FA Cup last season, are looking for a new head coach after Martinez agreed to join Everton earlier this week. “I’ve got about 10 or 12 to interview over the next few days and hope to make an announcement by next weekend,” Whelan told Sky Sports News....

Ubisoft’s cooperative shooter is undoubtedly the biggest release of 2022 so far, and promises to take the Tom Clancy brand in a radical new direction. While previous games that bore this label have flirted with science fiction ideas (like the dystopian future of The Division), Rainbow Six Extraction pushes the boat out even further by including extra-terrestrials. Rather than being another tactical Player vs Player (PvP) experience — like the traditional Rainbow Six outings — this one will have you joining a squad of three to complete various objectives in areas that have been infested with alien nests....
