January’s “Flavor of the Month” is the Salted Almond Honeycomb. The new flavor starts with the sweet, floral taste of honey and is churned with the perfect balance of savory and salty goodness, the company told Newsweek. This recipe is completed with honeycomb pieces and a swirl of sweet almond marzipan to give it just the right amount of crunch and a distinctly nutty flavor. “Almond and honey is a flavor combination that goes together beautifully in baked goods, especially in cakes,” says Jeanne Bolger, director of research and development at Baskin-Robbins....

The Chile midfielder has scored six times in 22 top-flight appearances for the Bundesliga champions this season but last featured domestically in the 2-1 defeat at RB Leipzig a month ago.

To understand the new treatment, you need a sense of how spinal discs work. Think of a healthy disc as a car tire made of tightly woven ligaments and filled with soft putty. Sandwiched between two vertebrae, it makes a good cushion. Unfortunately, the ligaments encasing a disc can loosen and tear after several decades of service. And when that happens, outside blood vessels can invade the disc, accompanied by nerve fibers that don’t belong in such a high-pressure environment....
