C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF)— an astronomical survey conducted by the Palomar Observatory in California—on March 2, 2022, and has been making waves due to predictions that it could become the first naked eye comet since NEOWISE zoomed by our planet in 2020. The comet, which is currently located around 81 million miles from Earth, will reach its closest point to the sun, or perihelion, on January 12, 2023, before making a close approach to our planet on February 1, 2023, coming within roughly 26 million miles of us....

It’s unclear which mood Clinton will usher in. His supporters hope the ex-president will speed the area’s economic recovery, on display all around his West 125th Street office with new chain stores, banks and pharmacies. Some are even calling it Harlem’s “second renaissance,” after the vibrant black cultural and civil-rights movement of the 1920s and ’30s. But detractors say the term “renaissance” is a misnomer: this time around it’s not about culture or ideology–it’s all about money....

J.R. Simplot Company and Plant Science Inc. have announced an agreement on Thursday to use genetically modified technology to produce longer-lasting strawberries. The technology has been used before by J.R. Simplot Company in Idaho and will use genes from only strawberries to select traits to enhance the fruit. The technology has already been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration through the previous gene-modifying technique on the Simplot potatoes....

The fall of this country’s senior Catholic prelate sends notice: no one is immune from justice, whatever the color of his robes. The sight of Thomas Reilly, a Catholic attorney general, reprimanding a cardinal of the church has been both sobering and salutary. All too often, our bishops look up and over their shoulders–in the direction of the Vatican–before deciding how to act. Unlike their European counterparts, American Catholics have never been an anticlerical breed....

Posting in Reddit’s “Malicious Compliance” forum under the username u/I_aim_to_sneeze, the employee said their boss ignored them as they stood bleeding by her desk. The post has garnered over 16,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments from Redditors who said they could relate to the worker’s story. At the beginning of their post, u/I_aim_to_sneeze said they once got hit with a “profuse nosebleed” at work. Rather than make a big deal out of it, they decided to plug their nose with tissues and keep working; however, the bleeding didn’t stop....

Any lung infection acquired outside of the hospital setting is considered community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Viruses and certain bacteria such as streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae), haemophilus influenzae, and atypical bacteria—like chlamydia pneumoniae, mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Legionella species—are among the most common culprits of CAP. This article discusses the symptoms, causes, treatment, and prognosis for community-acquired pneumonia. Symptoms The clinical presentation of CAP varies wildly depending on the range. For example:...

This time though there’s potentially something to drive bigger changes: the early signing period. Coaches generally seem to want an early signing period, either sometime in the summer or toward the end of the football season in November or December. That should come as no surprise to anyone since coaches are the principal beneficiaries of an early signing period. Some prospects would be able to get their recruiting over with earlier, but some might make worse decisions....

The flag was found flying outside of 2nd Cavalry Regiment headquarters at Rose Barracks in Vilseck, Germany, and was removed upon discovery, officials told Military.com. The unknown individual also entered the headquarters building between Sunday night and Monday morning and stole an American and a German flag, regiment spokesman Maj. John Ambelang said. In the morning, the battle flag was also found on a flag pole. “The regiment takes this misconduct very seriously,” Ambelang said in a statement....

The AFC game, though, has already experienced a significant early line move, as money came in on the underdog, and the LVH moved to Denver -4.5. Handicappers are benefited by having already seen the respective title game combatants play each other at least once this season. New England, as a short home underdog, came back from a 24-0 halftime deficit to beat Denver in overtime in Week 12, 34-31. San Francisco and Seattle split their two meetings, each winning at home, although the Seahawks’ victory was much more decisive....

Pharmacists are used to trading illegally in manufacturers’ samples, said Naghdi, 30. The California wholesalers who bought fake Naprosyn that he passed off as overstock in 1987 “knew it wasn’t from the manufacturer,” he said without offering evidence. He complained about drug firms’ profits. “Do you know how much it costs to make a bottle of [the ulcer drug] Tagamet?” he demanded. “Less than a dollar, and they sell it for over $50....

It also offered sometimes confusing developments on the track. A caution late in the opening segment kept Matt Kenseth from making a mandatory pit stop. Drivers lost laps without seeming to understand why. Drivers looked frustrated in on-camera interviews during the race, and sounded that way in their comments after it.

Therefore, the goal of treatment is to stop you from progressing or to slow down the progression. Your doctor can tell you how severe your heart failure is using a number of tests.

Speaking with reporters after the briefing, Connolly was unmoved by the evidence in the intelligence report and suggested that Congress should move take action to prevent a war with Iran. Connolly serves on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Subcommittee on Middle East, North Africa and International Terrorism. “My reaction to this briefing was it was sophomoric and utterly unconvincing,” said Connolly. “And I believe that more than ever the Congress needs to act to protect that constitutional provisions about war and peace....

The Oilers superstar scored a milestone hat trick to propel the team to a comeback 5-3 win over the Canucks in their season opener Wednesday night. Vancouver had built a 3-0 lead by the first minute of the second period, but McDavid and Co. rattled off five consecutive goals for the victory.

Collectively, the hockey world cringed. MORE: Tricks and treats from the NHL season’s first month Nothing to see here. Just a Good Canadian Boy posing as the most controversial figure in North America for a fun night out with his girlfriend, Lauren Kyle, whose Melania Trump costume turned out even better than McDavid’s Trump.

UFC president Dana White says the two-division champion won’t get back in the Octagon for several months. MORE: McGregor’s most notorious moments White told the Los Angeles Times that McGregor won’t fight any earlier than May 2017 as he focuses on helping his pregnant girlfriend. “His girl [Dee Devlin] gets super stressed out when he fights,” White said. “He doesn’t want her having any of that stress while she’s pregnant....

Unlike many parts of the world, the Middle East is one region where U.S. policies have shifted wildly in the last decades. Countries in the region are talked about like political footballs, with administrations seen as friendly to one or the other. For instance, the Obama administration was viewed as cold towards Israel while President Donald Trump sought to embrace Israel, moving the U.S. embassy and cutting funding to the Palestinian Authority....

Debunked fraud allegations that circled around the 2020 presidential election have returned for the midterms, many of them amplified by current candidates and former President Donald Trump. The country never recovered from Trump’s “Big Lie” that he won the 2020 election, despite all evidence to the contrary—some 40 percent of Americans still believe the election won by President Joe Biden was rigged or stolen, according to a poll conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies on behalf of Newsweek....

Luiz: I hadn’t practiced free-kicks! David Luiz’s brilliantly executive free-kick – his first goal in Chelsea colours since April 2013 – put the runaway Premier League leaders ahead after 24 minutes but Georginio Wijnaldum equalised before the hour as the atmosphere at Anfield reached fever pitch. Diego Costa won a 76th-minute penalty, only to be denied from 12 yards, but Conte launched into impassioned celebrations on the field at full-time, recognising a job well done as dropped points for Tottenham and Arsenal left Chelsea’s advantage at a handsome nine points....

Bakayoko made his debut, after his £35 million move from Monaco, in the 2-1 away win at Tottenham as he hastily recovered from a knee injury. Chelsea 8/1 to beat Arsenal 1-0 The 23-year-old made his second start against Leicester last weekend in another impressive display, but Conte believes his big-money addition can enhance his game as Kante has managed to do over the past year or so. “I think he’s very close to being totally involved in our idea of football....
