This article discusses how to identify five of the most common insect bites and stings and what to do about them. You’ll also learn the warning signs of a severe reaction to one. When an Insect Sting or Bite Is an Emergency While the rest of this article can help you sort what insect is responsible for the bite or sting, that becomes a distant second in terms of importance if there are signs of a severe reaction....
It was no overstatement. During a seven-hour drive through southern Rwanda toward the front lines, we passed burned-out villages, wrecked bridges and refugees burying the dead. Former prisoners freed by the rebels walked along the roadsides in bright pink jail suits, with nowhere to go. Everybody who could has fled, but that left hundreds of children. An Italian priest in Nyanza is caring for 900 orphans, many of whom were found wandering the countryside....
Since then, the Stanley Cup has been awarded to the champions of North American hockey every year, with just two exceptions: in 2005, when a lockout canceled the entire NHL season, and all the way back in 1919. Now, the year 2020 is looking like it may become the third. The NHL announced on March 12 that it was pausing the 2019-2020 season indefinitely due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic....
The Tigers are not going to pretend that's the case, and neither should anyone else. As reigning American League MVP Miguel Cabrera says, "Even before (the bankruptcy), we wanted to do something for the city. We want to get a championship before that, before last year, and before two years ago. We're working for that any year. We want to go out and do that and win some games." Detroit is looking for 11 more wins after collecting 93 during the regular season....
Last week the Federation of American Scientists made public a U.S. Army field manual, stamped FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY, outlining procedures for open-source intelligence collection by Army units. The manual says Army agents “must use Government computers to access the Internet” unless they have special authorization to do otherwise. One U.S. official, who asked for anonymity when discussing sensitive information, said that, in an effort to track people behind Web sites giving detailed instructions on how to build sophisticated IEDs, counterterrorism experts two years ago asked Pentagon brass for permission to log on to the Web sites using fake identities....
U.S. officials say some of the latest intelligence coming out of Iran is so alarming even State Department diplomats who have favored talking with the ayatollahs now wonder who in Tehran can be trusted. Some U.S. officials fear the Iranian government has now splintered into three major factions: a reformist, or “moderate” faction, personified by the elected president, Mohammed Khatami; a hard-line faction, led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme religious leader, and an ultra-hard-line faction of no-name spooks and extremist clerics who secretly pursue radical policies, such as the clandestine support of terrorists, in a way that gives public hard-liners “deniability....
Simone Inzaghi’s side have forced their way back into the title picture in recent weeks, as they aim to defend the Scudetto in 2022, with Stefano Pioli’s charges hoping to learn the lessons of their 2021 slip up. However, before the Scudetto enters its decisive phase, these teams have the small matter of a Coppa Italia semi-final second leg on April 19. The tie is evenly poised following a 0-0 draw in the first leg, with a slight advantage for Milan as they will be classed as the visitors and can therefore benefit from the away-goals rule, which is to be scrapped from next season in the competition....
Anatomy Veins carry deoxygenated blood from organs, muscles, and other structures back to the heart. They typically have a lower blood pressure than arteries. While their walls are thinner, veins are usually larger in diameter than arteries and hold about 80% of the body’s total blood, whereas arteries typically only circulate 20% of the blood. Structure The walls of the internal jugular vein consist of three layers: The tunica adventitia, or the outermost layer of the vein’s wall, is the thickest of all layers....
The date has been observed on August 13 each year since 1976, when it was founded by Dean R. Campbell, founder of the Lefthanders International, Inc. The Left-Handers Day Club “declared” it official in 1997. The day itself is used for left-handers to be loud and proud about their uniqueness, as opposed to the past when some lefties were viewed with suspicion. According to NBC News Channel 4, in September 2015 a four-year-old boy was sent home from school with a letter saying “how left-handedness is often associated with evil and the devil....
Not Quite With the Quotation Your article “Dealing With the Dear Leader” (Feb. 17) contains a quote attributed to me, concerning Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s participation on the board of directors of ABB Corp., that was edited in a manner that leaves an inaccurate impression of his recollection. My full quote was, “There was no vote on this issue and Secretary Rumsfeld does not recall it being brought before the board at any time,” which is far less equivocal than your edited quote makes it appear....

An anonymous mom took to popular forum Mumsnet to share a situation that had been somewhat tormenting her for the last year— her mother-in-law’s daily 3-4 hour visits. According to the mom, they moved close to her husband’s mother a year ago but she had been visiting every evening since, including having her dinner at the house. “I understand that she might be a little lonely,” she prefaced the post, before clarifying that the mother-in-law does have a hobby that “gets her out every day socialising....
One mom-to-be took to Reddit for advice on her husband’s choice of baby name, which she described as “utterly unfit.” Posting to the Am I the A******? (AITA) forum on 25 September, user u/BabyBoyNameAITA explained that she’d vetoed her husband’s “odd” spelling of the name, causing him to storm off. However, people online urged her to stick to her guns for her future son’s sake. More Than a Name A 2019 study by GEMM (Growth, Equal Opportunities, Migration, and Markets) found that your name can have an impact on your career prospects....
But it turns out that humans aren’t the only ones who go mad for this fast-food favorite. A group of raccoons has been caught on camera lining up for nuggets from a drive-thru window, with Reddit users describing the scene as “adorably polite.” Posted to the r/EyeBleach subreddit by user u/5_Frog_Margin on June 20, in the video three raccoons can be seen neatly forming a line while McDonald’s staff hand them nuggets out of the window....
While at elementary school, my babysitter was dieting and mimicking her choices— though she had no intention of influencing me—triggered an adolescence dominated by anorexia. Quickly, I transformed from an extroverted, opinionated young girl to someone who was painfully shy, self conscious, and only cared about taking in as little food as possible. I was diagnosed with anorexia at 10 years old. With access to a specialized care team, I saw a doctor, therapist and dietician weekly for almost a year, and by the end of elementary school, it felt as though I had freed myself from the grips of anorexia....
