Caffeine-based stimulants such as NoDoz and Red Bull are safe in moderation. But steer clear of products containing ephedra (a.k.a. ma-huang). This herbal stimulant, which raises blood pressure and heart rate, has caused several deaths in recent years. Prescription stimulants such as Ritalin and Adderall are also best avoided unless your doctor prescribes them. Though useful for treating attention problems (and less dangerous than cocaine or methamphetamine), they can foster depression and dependency when abused....

The Hero I-League round 13 encounter was devoid of clear cut chances as Dempo SC preferred to play deep and trying to catch Bharat FC on the counter-attack. The draw leaves Bharat FC in eighth spot in the Hero I-League table with 10 points from their nine games. Dempo SC are a place below the Lions having accumulated nine points from ten games. With the temperature touching 37 degrees and climbing humidity, the game did not really spring to life right from the beginning....

Having named in the their XII on the eve of the match, India made a last minute change as Bhuvneshwar was ruled out because of a “gastric complaint” as he stayed back at the hotel. “Bhuvneshwar Kumar has a gastric complaint and is expected to be fit for the second T20I in Lucknow (on November 6),” BCCI media manager said. Umesh Yadav came in as the replacement while Kuldeep Yadav was picked ahead of Yuzvendra Chahal....

Anatomy of the Biceps Your biceps muscles are located in the front of your upper arms. They course from two heads (hence the name “biceps”) near your shoulder joint. The short head of the biceps arises from the coracoid process of your shoulder blade. The long head of the biceps originates from the supraglenoid tubercle of your shoulder joint and is encased in a synovial sheath. This sheath provides lubrication to the tendon and allows it to glide and slide normally in the front of your upper arm....

The spending bill provides for more than $15 million for administrative expenses for the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Trust Fund, which provides funding for the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. That program is designed to “compensate vaccine-related injury or death petitions for covered vaccines administered on or after October 1, 1988,” according to the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA). Republican Representative Dan Bishop pointed to that section of the omnibus spending bill as part of a series of tweets on Tuesday that offered a critique of the government funding plan....

The Transportation Department will permit port authorities to allot any money leftover from grant projects to help remedy the supply chain woes, according to senior administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. The Georgia Port Authority, for example, can use $8 million to transform its inland facilities into container yards, which would open up more space for ships to dock at the port and ultimately expedite the journey for goods to their intended destinations, the AP reported....

Following their first face-to-face summit since the Democrat was elected president two years ago, Biden said at a news conference in Bali that he and Xi had an “open and candid” conversation about each other’s intentions and priorities. The three-hour talks on the sidelines of the G20 summit in the Indonesian resort were scheduled with the aim of ensuring the intense U.S.-China rivalry doesn’t spiral out of control. “We’re going to compete vigorously, but I’m not looking for conflict,” said Biden, who went into the meeting wanting to establish respective “red lines” with China’s president....

As the World Health Organization probes the roots of the pandemic, the White House has commissioned its own investigation led by the U.S. Intelligence Community and backed by National Labs into how the disease first emerged in late 2019. The findings are expected by late August. In announcing this 90-day inquiry last week, Biden said he had “specific questions for China.” Newsweek has since learned these questions included calls for Beijing to quit withholding key data that could potentially avoid upcoming disasters, and a call for the People’s Republic to take greater part in a global effort to get to the bottom of how the ongoing pandemic began....

The state’s Senate runoff races have garnered heightened national focus due to the impact they will have on the outcome of control in the Senate: if Democrats win both the seats then it will be split 50/50. The tiebreaking vote would then go to the Vice President Kamala Harris, boosting the Biden administration in pushing its agenda through Congress. “We all know what’s going to happen if McConnell holds the Senate....

It looks like Bethesda is the next company aiming to cut out the middle-man, as a recent Neogaf post seems to indicate the company already has its own launcher service going through a closed alpha release process right now. Entitled the Besthesda.net launcher (quite similarly titled to the popular Battle.net platform), the service will play host to Bethesda’s entire library of games, and a ‘redeem code’ button indicates the studio will soon begin encouraging digital downloads through its own service rather than Steam....

On Sunday, O’Rourke, a prominent Democrat, narrowed the polling gap between himself and Abbott, according to a survey conducted by the Dallas Morning News and the University of Texas at Tyler. Around 38 percent of respondents said that they would vote for O’Rourke in the general election, while 45 percent said they would vote for Abbott. While the Democrat remained behind, he notably jumped to a single-digit difference from a double-digit one seen in earlier polling....

The poll of 1,200 registered Texans conducted between June 16 and 24, largely before the news of the Court overturning the Roe decision, showed O’Rourke, who lost his bid for the U.S. Senate in a 2018 election against current Republican Senator Ted Cruz, down 6 percentage points to Abbott. In April, Abbott was up 9 points, though that poll did not include Libertarian or Green Party candidates. Abbott’s lead now sits at 45 percent compared to O’Rourke’s 39 percent, while two third-party candidates are each garnering about 2 percent or less....

The lawsuit filed on behalf of a handful of organizations on Wednesday claimed that the new rules violated both the Constitution and federal rules on administrative procedures. It specifically argued that the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause and the Administrative Procedure Act would be violated by any move to block schools from addressing sexual harassment before it starts to impact a student’s performance, or investigating allegations of harassment taking place outside of school time....

Hence why a very talented YouTuber and Better Call Saul fan who goes by the name of Redshibe decided to create a different kind of spin-off for the series, now in the form of a fighting game set in Albuquerque and its surrounding deserts. Granted, there’s not a lot of hard-hitting action in Better Call Saul since the show relied mostly on slow-paced tension, but when it comes it’s sure worth it....

White was about two weeks shy of her 100th birthday when news broke that she died at her home. Having rose to fame for her roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Golden Girls, White’s career also includes her playing the part of producer for the show Life With Elizabeth, the sitcom that earned White her first Emmy. Decades after Golden Girls stopped making new episodes, White remained a beloved icon for people of all ages and her agent said he believed she’d “live forever” despite her increasing age....

This analysis is as common as it is wrong. While vouchers may well be unconstitutional on church-state grounds, the decision is clearly helpful for education–including public education. And in the long run it’s probably a win for liberals, not conservatives. To understand why, let’s back up and look at the last extremely contentious Supreme Court decision: Roe v. Wade in 1973, which legalized abortion in the United States. Before Roe, abortion rights were fought out in state capitals and through the democratic process; the anti-abortion folks were on the ropes, losing ground almost everywhere....

The concept art from the other day featured a young Pey’j with a character that many have assumed is Jade’s father. The new concept art, shared by Ancel on his Instagram account, is a 3D model of a shark person, perhaps hinting that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is well beyond the sketch phase. It’s possible that this shark is Francis or Rufus from the original Beyond Good & Evil, who worked at the Akuda Bar during the events of that game....

Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Julian Castro, Joe Sestak, and Marianne Williamson will all appear at the LGBTQ Presidential Forum, livestreaming from Coe College’s Sinclair Auditorium in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on September 20. All Democratic presidential candidates actively campaigning in Iowa have been invited to participate, with more expected to confirm in the coming weeks. Each will have individual stage time to address the audience, followed by a one-on-one Q&A session with moderators including Gazette columnist Lyz Lenz, Advocate editor-in-chief Zach Stafford and One Iowa policy director Keenan Crow....

Both Sanders and Biden followed several state-level Democrats in demanding a 90-day or three-month moratorium in tenants paying rent to landlords. After nationwide U.S. confirmed cases of coronavirus surpassed 100,000 Friday, Biden concurred with California Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order protecting renters from eviction as a direct result of medical or employment issues tied to COVID-19. Sanders offered his support on Saturday to New York State Senator Mike Gianaris, who is leading “#CancelRent” calls, and who proposed Senate Bill 8125A Friday to suspend rent payments for small businesses and tenants who’ve either had their paychecks eliminated or reduced by the coronavirus quarantine....

DHS said in a statement to Newsweek that the agency “conducted a thorough review of the July 2019 expedited removal designation,” and that recession “was consistent with the Department’s need to prioritize its limited enforcement resources … by utilizing expedited removal as a border enforcement tool for certain recent entrants.” The document to be published Monday in the Federal Registry comes as hundreds of thousands of migrants continue to try to cross the border every month....
