The Spanish manager surprisingly left out Joselu and Dwight Gayle, fielding Christian Atsu upfront behind Ayoze Perez and although the Ghanaian failed to hit the back of the net Benitez was impressed with his output. “It was really good. I was really pleased with the way the players were working on the pitch, trying to do everything I wanted. It was very pleasing,” Benitez said as quoted by Gazette Shield....
Unless they turn ugly, like the one in Bears’ camp Monday. Tight end Martellus Bennett didn’t at all appreciate rookie cornerback Kyle Fuller’s attempt to strip the ball from Bennett’s grasp. Maybe he got a piece of Bennett’s facemask; it’s hard to tell. But something set Bennett off, prompting him to slam Fuller to the ground. Coach Marc Trestman actually ended practice early after this scuffle. The Bears didn’t take kindly to Bennett’s actions and disciplined him on Tuesday....

Silva left the Ligue 1 champions for Manchester City in a deal reported to be worth an initial £43 million last week. Khedira felt disrespected by Madrid fans It could prove to be a busy close season for Monaco as they aim to ward off potential suitors for other members of Leonardo Jardim’s squad, where teenage sensation Mbappe is the star attraction. The 18-year-old enjoyed a stunning breakthrough season, earning his maiden caps for France and scoring 26 goals in all competitions as Monaco also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League....
The preschool program is one of several proposals included in the plan that aims to improve child care. The package would be funded by raising taxes on the country’s wealthiest 1 percent, with the top income tax and capital gains tax brackets both rising to 39.6 percent—almost doubling the capital gains rate on those making more than $1 million per year. Sanders’ proposal to expand Medicare to include dental, vision and hearing care and lower the age of eligibility is not expected to be included in Biden’s plan, according to The Associated Press....
Sanders’ new wealth tax would target a larger number of upper class households than Warren’s existing plan, and at higher rates. His proposal would impose a 1% tax on net worths over $32 million (and single filers with net worths more than $16 million), affecting 180,000 households. The plan has several brackets, with a 2% tax over $50 million, 3% over $250 million, 4% over $500 million, 5% over $1 billion, all the way up to 8% on net worths over $10 billion....
Sanders, an independent, ran as a presidential candidate in the Democratic primary last year against Biden. Following a string of losses in March, the progressive candidate ceded to Biden and suspended his campaign in April. He then hit the campaign trail for Biden, who successfully ousted former Republican President Donald Trump in November. In an interview with CNN, host Gloria Borger asked Sanders, “Can you talk to me about how welcome they made you feel?...
Sanders, in his first Sunday morning TV interview since dropping out of the Democratic presidential race, told ABC News’ This Week that there are “50 states going it alone” as some regions attempt to re-open bars, restaurants and other businesses this month. The former presidential candidate responded to a question about “Obamagate” and how “tough” presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and Democrats will be on China by saying the only “scandal” President Donald Trump should be concerned with is his administration not having any national, science-based plan for reopening the economy....
For years, people have debated whether the “Greatest Show On Turf” was the best offense the NFL has ever seen, and I’ve heard my name mentioned in regards to having the best individual season by a quarterback — in 1999, I won MVP, Super Bowl MVP and the Lombardi Trophy.

Since they have a high fracture risk, people with osteoporosis may eventually experience limited mobility. Some fractures that can be caused by osteoporosis—especially hip fractures—can increase a person’s risk of death.

These medications include bisphosphonates, calcitonin, and estrogen replacement therapy or estrogen receptor modulators. In some cases, taking supplements as part of a medical treatment plan can prevent further bone loss and improve bone density....
Tom Brady is the GOAT. Aaron Rodgers is the four-time MVP. But just like Drew Brees and Peyton Manning before them, a couple of disappointing 2022 seasons have suggested the end is nearer than the prime for the two future Hall of Famers. Without Brady, Rodgers and Kirk Cousins in the NFC divisional playoffs, every starting QB left in the field is younger than 30, with 29-year-old Dak Prescott being the oldest in either conference....
Usually one of the most spectacular meteor showers of each year, the Geminids can produce as many as 150 meteors per hour when viewed from a suitably dark site, away from any bright lights, according to the Planetary Society. The meteor shower will be visible in both the northern and southern hemispheres, but NASA says that it will be seen at its best in the north. Due to the fact that the moon is almost full and up for most of the night, visibility will be reduced....

You will enjoy better nutrition in general from all of their components, including vitamins and fiber. Do Fruits and Vegetables Reduce Arthritis Risk? The evidence that there are specific benefits for specific carotenoids is not yet settled, as different studies have yielded contradictory findings.

Or consider the dazzling 36-year-old pianist Mulgrew Miller. At 21, he was hired to fill Duke Ellington’s chair in the late composer’s orchestra; not a single critic sought him out. Since then, “The whole youth thing has been shoved down everybody’s throat,” says Miller, who has appeared on more than 100 albums. He adds: “I was on the road when Wynton was in diapers.” Consider saxophonist Sonny Fortune, 52. One of the most powerful and inventive improvisers in jazz, he hasn’t had a U....
