The Science Behind MS and Gout Both MS and gout seem to be influenced by uric acid, which is found in high levels in people with gout but low levels in people with MS. Uric acid is a waste product present in the blood, kidneys, and urine....

The show has undergone many changes since its humble beginnings on Minnesota’s KTMA.

It will also be MST3K’s first Turkey Day stream since its cancellation by Netflix....

“Is there is a correlation between fetal demise and covid vaccines?” she tweeted, sharing a tweet from user @kacdnp91, containing a clip from The Highwire. The Highwire is a media platform run by long-time anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Del Bigtree. In the clip, a woman who identifies herself as a nurse claims that fetal demises have increased since the vaccine rolled out. She goes on to say that many early births or cases of fetal demise are in women who have recently had the vaccine....

First detected in Colombia in January, cases of the Mu variant account for less than one percent of the total COVID-19 cases worldwide. However, its consistent prevalence in Colombia, where it makes up about 40 percent of cases since being detected, raised concerns about its ability to spread and it contains mutations that indicate it could be resistant to immunity to the virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) categorized the Mu variant as a variant of concern on August 30....

It is understood that Ben Khalfallah is close to triggering another year at Victory based on the number of games he plays in 2016-17....

“People ask us, ‘Are y’all from the mountains?’,” says fiddler Justin Robinson, a North Carolina native. “What they’re really asking is, ‘Why the hell are you playing this?’” His answer: “It’s a reclamation.” Robinson, fellow Carolinian Rhiannon Giddens and Arizona-born multi-instrumentalist Dom Flemons met two years ago at the annual Black Banjo Gathering in Boone, N.C. Under the tutelage of fiddler Joe Thompson, one of the last surviving practitioners of the black fiddle style that once provided the soundtrack to North Carolina’s hilly Piedmont region, the Carolina Chocolate Drops learned their roots and honed their chops....

Eric Clapton Has Hearing Loss and Tinnitus The guitarist Eric Clapton, also known by the nickname “Slowhand”, suffers from both hearing loss and tinnitus. Since his roles in the bands Cream, The Yardbirds, and Derek and the Dominos, Clapton has been a three-time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has won eighteen Grammy awards. He had a reputation for turning his amp “up to 11,” which means always playing at the maximum possible volume....

Mary had never been central to my worship. I have been inordinately fond of Eve; it was she, my comprehensible sister, who had planted in my blood and bones and flesh a variable human love, the intoxication of the body. Eve’s fall from grace–her radical curiosity–set in motion the wheels of salvation. My bedridden grandma would have considered my love for Eve idolatry, were she capable of making such a harsh judgment....

Ozil called out over wage demands by Labour leader Corbyn Giroud scored a stunning effort against Crystal Palace on New Year’s Day, flicking out his left boot and sending the ball over goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey in off the crossbar. Mkhitaryan scored in similarly astonishing fashion at home to Sunderland less than a week prior and his effort saw him claim Goal of the Month for December. However, Giroud believes his was the pick of the pair....

In truth, I don’t think that the move to a new city would have affected him all that much if it weren’t for the draconian measures in place isolating him from human contact. Instead of the regular interaction he had originally anticipated, he found himself working from home, interacting through email, Zoom meetings, and telephone calls. Lockdowns, shelter-in-place, and social distancing thwarted attempts to make friends and develop a life beyond the walls of his apartment....

Ezzy—as I called her—was a gift from a girlfriend. I was 21 at the time and I’d made a few remarks, driven by testosterone, about wanting to own a pit bull someday. The truth is, I probably wouldn’t have followed through on getting the dog on my own. Now I hate to think what I would’ve missed. I didn’t know what to expect when Ezzy arrived. Would this dog—this sweet, frisky pup—rip my throat open while I was sleeping?...

It was 1998. After working as a cashier for three summers at a local farm during high school, I was moving from behind the register to the seat of a tractor, which I would be maneuvering through the farm’s 100-acre vegetable fields. I would be working long hours in the heat of New Jersey’s humid summers. I knew I would get dirty—and I couldn’t wait. I wasn’t disappointed. When the ground was dry, the field dust caked my skin with a brown film, streaked by the sweat that trickled down my neck....

As a writer, I view computers as a necessary tool. I put them in the same category as a telephone, the microwave and the dishwasher: I want them to work, but could not care less how that is accomplished. My husband, on the other hand, finds the internal workings of PCs fascinating. His idea of a fun afternoon is to go to one of those large computer shows with hundreds of exhibitors....

It was my third fainting spell—and a direct result of a car accident I had last year. My first spill took place six months earlier when I was living at my best friend’s house in Northern California during my initial phase of physical therapy. The second thud occurred at another friend’s house three weeks before the Wal-Mart incident. Both my mother, who was originally from Boligee, Ala., and my father, a West Indian from St....
