Amid the pandemic, the country also faces the threat of a potential second wave of cases among protesters at ongoing mass demonstrations across the nation following the death of George Floyd. Here we look at some of the states where the total number of new cases in the last week has risen from the previous week, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. California New cases from May 22-28: 15,900New cases from May 29-June 4: 18,400Total cases to date: 122,168Total deaths to date: 4,444...

There are at least 233 confirmed cases in the U.S. to date, according to the latest figures from Johns Hopkins University. At least 46 of these cases are Americans who were aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship, according to the latest figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Princess Cruises ship was quarantined in Japan last month after a passenger from Hong Kong was diagnosed....

You would think that a simple matter like mine would be easily resolved. I didn’t want to borrow money or finance an emerging nation. All I wanted to do was redeem an Israeli bond. I’d done this before, so I knew the drill. You take the bond and a tax form to the bank’s headquarters and then go home to wait for the check to arrive by mail. This time, instead of a check, I got the bond back plus a sheaf of incomprehensible papers....

There are actually so many entries in the franchise now through spin-offs, quirky handheld versions and of course, re-releases, that the implied finality is actually moving back to the beginning of its life cycle, thereby completing its lifespan in a sort of infinite loop that makes the idea of it being “final” actually mean that it will continue forever. No, really, I saw Stephen Hawking give a talk on this....

Yahoo’s Pete Thamel reported that evidence produced in criminal cases related to the probe reveals widespread violations of NCAA rules that could affect up to 50 programs. The evidence could also lead to trouble for prominent coaches; cause multiple top-tier players to be declared ineligible; and lead to NCAA Tournament results being vacated. Thamel reported that the evidence his sources described presents a fundamental threat to the “structure and integrity” of college basketball....

Psoriatic disorders happen when the immune system attacks itself, which then causes inflammation in the body. Cosentyx contains secukinumab, an active ingredient that belongs to the monoclonal antibody drug class. Secukinumab works on the immune system and targets interleukin-17A (IL-17A), a protein in the body that causes inflammation. Cosentyx binds to the IL-17A to stop it from triggering your immune system. It is a monoclonal antibody and an effective and safe treatment choice for people with psoriatic diseases....

“By combining the organization’s financial, intellectual, and human capital, Street Soccer USA can meet its social service targets more efficiently and the New York Cosmos are able to be a leader in facilitating social change through soccer.”

The incident occurred on Saturday around 5 p.m. local time while the 26-year-old man was running two miles up Slate Canyon. Near the end of his run, he saw four young cougar kittens scampering on the trail. He began recording them until their full-grown mother emerged from the woods. “I didn’t really know what kind of cubs they were or what animal they were,” Burgess told Fox 13 News. “Once I did realize what they were, I was like, that’s mom right there....

Colds, sinus congestion or infection, and allergies can cause a cough, as can the flu. In some cases, a cough can be a symptom of a more serious condition like pneumonia or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Some medicines—including those that treat kidney or heart disease or high blood pressure—lung disease, smoking, and allergies can also cause a cough. This article covers the symptoms, types, and causes of a cough; diagnosis and treatment of a cough; and when to get help for a cough....

Jonas Lossl had leapt to his left to parry Mo Salah’s penalty up into the air. Jordan Henderson had fired it back, only to see his shot hit the outside of the post and flash wide. After successive draws at home, which brought Jurgen Klopp’s side just one goal, Liverpool’s profligacy was rearing its ugly head once more. Only Pep Guardiola’s free-scoring Manchester City have had more shots than Liverpool in the Premier League this season....

A collaboration between Lenstore and ‘futurologist’ Richard Watson, on paper the iLens concept looks incredibly sci-fi. Lenstore is designing it to help you reduce your screen time by letting you know when you need to take a break because you’ve been staring at a screen for too long. If successful, it would also be created with the ability to digitally zoom in on objects, to take photos, and display augmented reality information about the weather and air quality....

But now, despite their mystical past, we understand more about black holes and how they work than we ever have. Black holes are immensely massive objects, with gravity so unbelievably strong that not even light can escape from them. They are thought to be incredibly common, scattered around the galaxy, perhaps even closer than we think. “They’re just these like prisons for light matter and everything,” astrophysicist and science communicator Dr....

The Pokemon Gold and Silver Space World demo of the Farfetch’d evolution shows a swan or goose-like Pokemon called Madame. Farfetch’d would have evolved into Madame upon reaching level 24. Madame could have been male or female despite having a feminine name (and it’s possible its English name would have been different anyway), and it would have been a dual normal/flying-type Pokemon.

According to the latest data (opens in new tab) collected by the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and the Center for Economic Justice (CEJ) covering March through to the end of October last year, some 181,000 fewer accidents were recorded during the pandemic across the four states of Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Texas combined than during the same period in 2019 - a decline of 31%. Importantly, this included a drop of more than 83,000 accidents after May, when most insurers had stopped providing the refunds and premium credits agreed around this time last year (opens in new tab)....

Bots are synonymous with empty shelves, sold-out retailers, and the overwhelming difficulty of getting your hands on next-gen consoles and other hot-ticket items before the shelves are swept bare. Repeat ad infinitum, and suddenly, US Congress is stepping in to ban the bots. At least, that’s what they hope will happen. The proposed “Stopping Grinch Bots Act” will attempt to block bots and scalpers from hoovering up the hottest items before regular consumers can get their hands on them....

According to a copy of the lawsuit that Dowling shared on his campaign website, the Democrat alleged the executive order violated his rights under the state constitution’s due process clause by preventing Florida’s school boards “from taking necessary and reasonable precautions such as a mask mandate” amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Dowling’s lawsuit, which lists Dowling and his three school-aged children as plaintiffs, also said the executive order “violates their right to learn in a public school that provides a safe, secure and high quality education to them and other students” as outlined in the state constitution....

Swalwell made the remark in a tweet on Friday after the House Judiciary Committee Republicans’ account tweeted, then deleted a spurious suggestion that the COVID-19 vaccine booster shots don’t “work.” The five-term Democrat insisted that Americans dealing with the consequences of the raging pandemic as the new year quickly approached should “look no farther” than Republicans promoting misinformation. “As we end 2021, mired in a deadly pandemic, you should know who has prolonged it,” Swalwell tweeted....
