AY.4.2 is a sub-type of the Delta variant that has made headlines over the past few weeks due to its rise in the U.K., where it has accounted for up to 15 percent of new cases. Research has found that AY.4.2 appears to have a small growth advantage over other circulating variants, though according to the U.K.’s risk assessment for the variant it’s not yet entirely clear why. The new report, a technical briefing from the U....

The Ghana international picked the ball at the halfway line, beat the attention of a Palace defender before unleashing an unstoppable drive past Julian Speroni from the edge of the box. Ayew’s goal which was also nominated for the English Premier League goal of the month award got 39% of fans’ vote beating out competition from Javier Hernandez (26%) and West Ham Ladies’ Amber Stobbs (16%).

The Spain international started his career in his homeland with Osasuna, but has spent the last seven years taking in spells at Marseille and at Stamford Bridge. CSL club deny Costa contact This season has seen him flourish as part of Chelsea’s three-man defensive unit and get his hands on the Premier League title for a second time. His exploits have seen him attract admiring glances from afar, with Barca reported to view him as an alternative to Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin in their pursuit of a new right-back, but the 27-year-old sees no reason why he would want to turn his back on the champions of England....

Hudson Hooten began coughing on Saturday night. By Wednesday he was hospitalized at Children’s Medical Center Dallas, Texas. “He was projectile vomiting,” mom Brooke Hooten told FOX4. “He was coughing. He was crying for an hour straight.” Doctors told the family their son got the last ICU bed available. He is now breathing with the help of oxygen. “He’s doing a lot better,” Brooke Hooten continued. “I feel like he doesn’t look as sick anymore because he’s been on oxygen....

As I held up my iPhone, I relished the opportunity to see that ungainly gait, to hear the hissed exhalation of her excited laughter—a portal to a state of joy I didn’t know possible. Yet in a total doofus #dadfail moment, I hadn’t started recording the video. Of course, the fact that experiencing this priceless family moment in this ideal place was even possible hinged on my decision to delay my paternity leave until the end of La La’s first year to enjoy something I’m dubbing the “paterni-cation....

How the Spine Causes Knee Pain The nerve roots that transmit the sensation of pain to the legs and feet are located in the lower back. Occasionally with age or injury, the discs between the vertebrae can degenerate or bulge out and press on these nerves. When this occurs, the nerve becomes irritated and sends out pain signals. The location of the pain depends on which disc is protruding. The severity of the pain depends on how much of the disc is pressing on the nerve....

Hard as it may be to imagine, America’s teenagers are almost as demanding as the colleges. I should know. I’ve just returned from a quintessentially American experience–taking my twin sons, almost 17 and in their second-to-last year of high school, to visit some colleges they’re thinking of applying to. In my day, we simply mailed off our applications and hoped for the best. But today’s kids expect much more. So during spring break in high schools across the country, parents and teens set out in droves, thronging college campuses, meeting admissions officers, taking tours and collecting reams of daunting information–none more so than the price tag, usually in excess of $30,000 a year....

Thelma & Louise are two Arkansas friends who set out together for a getaway weekend. Mostly what they’re getting away from is their entire lives, embodied in their unsatisfactory menfolks. Thelma (Geena Davis) is a housewife who’s been frozen in infantile dependency by her marriage to Darryl (Christopher McDonald), a cretinous petty tyrant. Louise (Susan Sarandon) is a waitress who’s been through it all, including a current affair with Jimmy (Michael Madsen), a musician who can’t get his emotional chops together....

BV is readily treated and usually doesn’t cause any other health problems. With that said, it can increase the risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or lead to birth complications in people who are pregnant. This article looks at the symptoms, causes, and risk factors of bacterial vaginosis. It also explains how BV is diagnosed, treated, and prevented. Bacterial Vaginosis Symptoms Of the 21 million women in the United States believed to have bacterial vaginosis each year, only around three million actually have symptoms....

While Nelson’s activities seem drawn from a Stephen King novel, scenes like this are common at medical schools across the country: bodies donated to one university are shipped, in whole or in parts, to other schools and research facilities. But at UCLA, police say, Reid, 54, was engaged in an illegal scheme to profit from the sale of the body parts. He was arrested a week ago on suspicion of grand theft; Nelson, 46, was later hauled in for suspicion of possessing stolen property....

Michael Collins, for example, determined that “Irish Independence would never be attained by constitutional means” and that “when you’re up against a bully you’ve got to kick him in the guts.” In his memoire, Irgun leader Menachem Begin described the Zionist group’s predicament after nonviolence failed to protect the Yishuv: “What use was there in writing memoranda? What value in speeches? No, there was no other way. If we did not fight we should be destroyed....

Following the end of Cleveland’s 37-14 loss to the Cardinals, quarterback Baker Mayfield was seen wearing a sling on his left arm. According to WKYC 3News’ Ben Axelrod, Mayfield said that he dislocated his shoulder during the game and it slipped out during a non-contact play, but he expects to be able to play through the injury. MORE: Kareem Hunt injury update During the third quarter, Mayfield was sacked by defensive end J....

Bale has featured for Madrid in every league game since recovering from injury to feature in the Clasico defeat to Barcelona in December and started each of their last four matches. However, just as in both ties against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, the Welshman has been left out of the first-team as Zinedine Zidane’s side host seventh placed Girona. Instead, Benzema will partner Cristiano Ronaldo up front for the Champions League holders, while Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio will line up on the wings....

Bale began the season in a central role under Rafa Benitez but returned to the wing under Zinedine Zidane and was Madrid’s standout performer in both legs of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City, forcing the own goal from Fernando that sealed passage to the showpiece in Milan. At San Siro, he ended up a hero by netting a penalty in the shootout even though he had been playing virtually on one leg in extra time....

Demaci’s refusal upset the key U.S. strategy at the Rambouillet talks. A Kosovar “yes” would have shifted the pressure to Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic, who was resisting the idea of NATO troops as guarantors of Kosovo’s autonomy. But the best Albright could achieve was a vague rebel pledge to sign by March 15. The true winner was Milosevic, who in the interim has a free hand to terrorize Kosovo’s population and harass Western truce monitors there....

“It’s a huge thing,” Chalabi told NEWSWEEK. “Some of the files are very damning.” And some of the most incriminating, Chalabi implies, could tell a lot about the royal family–in neighboring Jordan. That is where Chalabi built and lost a banking empire in the 1980s, before he was forced to flee and convicted in absentia of fraud and embezzlement. King Abdullah, who has ruled Jordan since 1999, “is worried about his relationship with Saddam,” says Chalabi....

All players from Russia and Belarus, a Moscow ally which has supported the war, will be excluded from the June Grand Slam, the All England Club announced Wednesday, confirming an earlier report by The New York Times. “Given the profile of The Championships in the United Kingdom and around the world, it is our responsibility to play our part in the widespread efforts of government, industry, sporting and creative institutions to limit Russia’s global influence through the strongest means possible,” the tournament said in a release....

In the third week of his post-presidential life, the 44th president of the United States learned how to kitesurf while on vacation with billionaire businessman Richard Branson. MORE: Stephen Curry’s MLK sneakers honor President Obama Wearing a helmet, dark sunglasses and a pair of swim trunks, Obama took on the open ocean in a friendly competition with Branson. Obama won the competition, Branson said. The former president is clearly enjoying his post-White House life....

Steven Levingston’s new book Barack and Joe: The Making of an Extraordinary Partnership is released on Tuesday, 8 October, and delves into the unlikely friendship launched a thousand memes. But, Levingston writes, their relationship was at times awkward and questions remain as to why Obama refused to endorse his former Vice President’s bid for office. Indeed, chronicling one such awkward occasion when their paths crossed during the early days of Obama’s political career, Levingston describes a particularly long speech given by Biden that he claims frustrated Obama to the point that the then-senator wrote “shoot me now” in a message to one of his advisers....
