The disease most commonly begins to affect people in their fourth or fifth decade of life. However, it sometimes affects children as well. It is more common in females than in males. Types of Morphea Morphea can occur in distinct patterns of symptoms. These have been categorized in several different ways, so the terminology can get pretty confusing. The two most common forms of morphea are: Circumscribed morphea (also known as plaque morphea): Most common subtype in adults (and overall)Linear morphea (sometimes called linear scleroderma): Most common subtype in children...

The latest American values survey from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) found that 55 percent of U.S. adults had zero confidence in Trump conceding the election after his efforts to cast doubt over the result. Thirty percent told pollsters they were “somewhat confident” that he would accept a Biden victory, and only 15 percent said they were “very confident” in the president conceding.

Common Orthopedic Injuries Sustained by Newborns During Childbirth Some of the more common orthopedic injuries seen during childbirth are described below. These should be distinguished from congenital conditions that a child is born with, since a childbirth injury actually occurs at the time of birth.

The Bones of the Ankle Joint The ankle is a complex joint that forms where three bones come together.

Of the weight transferred through the leg, about 90% is carried by the tibia....

[2] X Research source Appropriate for a fixed water sign, when Scorpio is in dangerous territory, they tend to ice people out....

While many may presume that the royals of the House of Windsor are exchanging diamond tiaras and summer residences beneath the Christmas tree, accounts reflect a far different scene, with the royals unexpectedly opting for gag gifts over ostentatious gestures. Through the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle biography Finding Freedom we were given a glimpse into what gifts the royals really share. At her first Christmas, for example, Meghan gave Prince William a novelty spoon with the words “cereal killer” engraved on it, and Harry reportedly gave his grandmother—the queen—a shower cap embroidered with the words: “Aint life a b****” (which she loved....

Confidence has never been an issue for the charismatic Portuguese coach, with his exploits at Porto helping to put him on the world map. Mourinho snubbed ‘big’ CSL offer He famously announced his arrival at Chelsea by declaring himself to be a ‘Special One’, with further success at Stamford Bridge, Inter Milan and Real Madrid helping to enhance his profile. A return to the dugout last summer with the Red Devils has offered an altogether different challenge, with a rebuilding job required at Old Trafford....

Ibra: Rooney deserves more respect The club captain became United’s all-time record goalscorer on Saturday, grabbing his 250th goal with a superb free kick against Stoke City. Rooney has been far from a regular under Mourinho this season with recent reports suggesting clubs in China will make him a lucrative offer this summer. Mourinho says he would not criticise players for opting to move to the Far East but says he has no knowledge of Rooney’s current plans....

Man Utd 1/3 to start season with a win At the end of 2016-17, Mourinho revealed he wanted four new players, but Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof are the only arrivals so far. United have been heavily linked with Inter winger Ivan Perisic, Tottenham utility Eric Dier and Nemanja Matic, while Paris Saint-Germain full-back Serge Aurier has emerged as a possible target. Asked about United’s transfer plans following Thursday’s 2-0 International Champions Cup win over Manchester City in Houston, Mourinho said: “I don’t know, I don’t know....

The France international initially struggled to live up to the high expectations at Old Trafford following his world record move from Juventus, but he has thrived in recent weeks as United have gone 10 games unbeaten. Ferdinand believes Mourinho’s decision to field Michael Carrick and Ander Herrera in support of Pogba has been key to United’s resurgence. “I do not think Jose knew his best team for a while but in the last few games you have seen him consistently starting the three midfielders of Herrera, Carrick and Pogba,” Ferdinand told the official United website....

The town, too, has been revitalized. Thanks to extensive government and private investment, Karlovy Vary’s ornate baroque and Renaissance buildings are being repaired and repainted.

Altar boy, baseball ump, professor-to-be – Schwall is the last person you’d expect to hire a hit man. But like so many ills, contract murder is migrating from the world of gangs and the mob to suburbia. This week, a Florida law student will be arraigned for allegedly trying to rub out a school secretary who, the student reportedly feared, was about to expose her for cheating. Last year, a Texas mother paid $3,000 to bump off the 18-year-old who broke her daughter’s heart....

But that’s where the similarities end-ed. Pat Buchanan was a firebrand speechwriter, supplying conservative agitprop to Richard M. Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew. Born and educated in Washington, Buchanan loved combat in the capital, but had no interest in running for office. He was confrontational, emotional, fierce: contemptuous of congressional dealmaking and of the federal courts then issuing desegregation orders. Lamar Alexander, on the other hand, favored the politics of the clever, hushed voices....
