Have heels replaced hemlines as a leading economic indicator? If so, then next fall the world’s markets will be soaring. At the fall-winter 2002 womenswear shows in Milan last week, Gucci, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana all sent models teetering down runways in ankle-breaking 11-centimeter high heels. In what one hopes wasn’t an economic forecast, models at Gucci and Prada fell off their towering stilettos and crashed to the floor....
“The benefits of following or adding in more plant-based foods is crystal clear for overall heart health, including stroke reduction,” Cheryl Mussatto, MS, RD, LD, clinical dietitian and the author of The Nourished Brain, tells Verywell. Mussatto, who was not involved with the recent research, shares that the results of this study echo what she recommends to patients, “[I tell patients] to fill their plates with predominately plant-based foods rich in nutrients such as potassium, fiber, and magnesium, which helps reduce plaque formation, blood pressure, inflammation, and formation of clots,” she says....

In some cases, antibiotics or hospitalization for intravenous (through the vein) fluids may be required.

Alex Holder, a British filmmaker and founder of London-based AJH Films, said Tuesday that he has complied with the congressional request to present video recordings of the final six weeks of Trump’s reelection campaign in addition to purported unseen footage of the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Other content reportedly includes “unparalleled access and exclusive interviews” with Trump himself, as well as with his children Ivanka, Eric and Donald, Jr....
From its earliest stages, when it was known as Championship Manager, the game has consistently thrilled virtual bosses by identifying football’s wonderkids - those precocious players who would go on to take the world by storm - before the wider public knew anything about them. World Cup odds: Germany 5/1 favourites Scouting the world in the hope of discovering the next Zinedine Zidane, Gianluigi Buffon or Ronaldo has always been part of the game’s allure, but, for every instance of Lionel Messi, there are many more who failed to live up to their Football Manager potential....
While fans of the game were treated to a wildly entertaining postseason, including one of the most exciting World Series in recent memory, several organizations made waves in the media, as the past five weeks have seen the managers of three playoff teams lose their jobs, along with the majority of the coaching staff of a fourth. While job security in professional sports may be a myth in and of itself, the departures of John Farrell, Dusty Baker and Joe Girardi from their respective clubs left many of their fan bases scratching their heads....
The news cycle in the past week has not been kind to Hillary Clinton. There were the crushing defeats in the contests over the weekend, the signs of tumult at headquarters as her campaign manager was replaced. Unfortunately for her, today isn’t shaping up to be much rosier. Clinton’s campaign is expecting another string of defeats in today’s Potomac Primary, as voters head to the polls in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia....
After enduring such an experience, Rose, who suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee Friday, should be able to ensure his next comeback doesn't take a similar tone. Because he is expected to have the medial meniscus in his right knee reattached in a Monday surgery, Rose could miss the remainder of the Bulls' season. That alone is enough to get the meme machine churning with new caricatures of Rose....
The research was conducted by the University of Queensland, the University of Newcastle, and Monash University as part of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health. The results were published in the journal Heart, Lung and Circulation. CVD Risk In Women According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death globally and is responsible for approximately 32% of deaths worldwide. While CVD can affect both men and women, Sarah Zaman, Associate Professor and academic interventional cardiologist at the University of Sydney as well as an author of the study, tells Verywell that “there is a vast amount of evidence recently to show that heart disease can have different risk factors in women versus men, and can manifest differently in women....
And sometimes there is Odell Beckham Jr.’s own worst enemy — himself. The star wide receiver believes all of those elements are conspiring against him. MORE: MVP talk for Matt Ryan and other big takeaways from Week 4 Once again, they won. Beckham not only experienced the least productive game of his two-plus NFL seasons Monday night in New York’s 24-10 road loss to Minnesota. He also was penalized for yet another foul that threatened Beckham’s ability to stay on the field and raised more doubts about whether he can keep from self-destructing....
Stephenson wanted a shorter deal and made a bold bet on himself, the rationale being he will mature and increase in value over the next few seasons. The Pacers’ offer of $44 million over five years was fair, but, at 23, odds were Stephenson would outplay the deal and be underpaid near the end of his contract.

The pursuit of free-agent forward Josh Smith never materialized and a sensible rumor involving New Orleans forward Ryan Anderson went nowhere. With Asik saying he had no interest in a bench role, Houston came into the season with a radical plan to play both Howard and Asik together in a sort of Twin Towers redux.

Rather apposite, some might say. For the occasion was a meeting in which the Commission would decide to collectively resign, the first in the EU’s history to do so. During the day, commissioners had been talking with their home governments; those who had not made up their minds to go had the decision made for them by Pauline Green, a British ex-policewoman and leader of the socialist faction in the European Parliament....
That shows in the vehicles that they buy. While women influence over 85 percent of new car, truck, sport utility vehicle (SUV), and van purchases in the United States according to a 2019 Cars.com survey, they fall far behind men as the primary purchaser of 4x4s. The number of off-road worthy models is expanding. In recent years, the introduction of the Jeep Gladiator pickup truck, Ford Bronco SUV, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 truck and GMC Sierra 1500 AT4-X truck have made more extreme off-roading accessible to new buyers....
Furniture. China is accusing the United States of seizing and violently searching furniture ordered by Beijing diplomats in the latest dispute between the rivals. Nevermind trade, Taiwan or coronavirus. The incident first appeared Tuesday in a report published by Global Times, an official publication of the ruling Chinese Communist Party.

Real Madrid star Ronaldo made history Thursday by matching Lionel Messi’s record Ballon d’Or haul of five, retaining football’s most prestigious individual prize for the second year running. Ronaldo claimed the Ballon d’Or for the fourth time in five years as the 32-year-old labelled himself the “best player in history”. However, former Spain international Salinas dismissed Ronaldo’s claims via social media as he talked up Barca great Messi. “Just because you’re very good, that doesn’t mean you’re the best, as you’ve had the bad luck of coinciding with the great Messi,” he wrote on Twitter....
The World Cup-winning forward has been in America since 2014 and enjoyed a prolific stint in Major League Soccer. Barcelona 6/4 to beat Juventus Snapped up by NYCFC as the first player added to their ranks, the former Barcelona and Atletico Madrid frontman has netted 65 times in 101 appearances for the club.

A native of St. Boniface, Man., Green patrolled the Bruins’ blue line for 10 seasons, finishing third in Norris Trophy voting in 1968-69 with 46 points (eight goals, 38 assists) in 65 games. He missed the entire following season after suffering a skull fracture during a pre-season stick-swinging incident with the St. Louis Blues’ Wayne Maki.
