While supermoons are slightly larger in the sky than the average full moon, the differences are barely noticeable to the naked eye. “Most people—including experienced stargazers—cannot tell the difference between a supermoon and any other full moon, because full moons are seen only once every month, and you cannot compare one to another directly,” Rick Fienberg, a spokesperson for the American Astronomical Society, previously told Newsweek. In fact, the term “supermoon” is not a scientific one, but was instead introduced by an astrologer (not astronomer) called Richard Nolle....

Gianni Magkos threw a fit after he lost a bodybuilding event over the weekend in Greece. The extremely bronzed and muscular Magkos slapped veteran judge Armando Marquez is the face and flipped a table after he lost the overall competition, despite winning his division. Here’s a high-angle view of the slap that sent Marquez to the floor. MORE: All-time dumbest sports injuries According to Australia’s Yahoo 7news, Magkos also reportedly pulled his penis out of his Speedo in retaliation....

The England winger signed a new deal at Old Trafford on Thursday, and Goal understands Lingard will earn a figure of around £100,000 per week. Lingard: I signed for more trophies That has seen some supporters react angrily, believing that the academy graduate has not done enough to warrant that sort of pay packet. Neville, though, has called for fans to get behind the former Leicester City loanee and that their frustrations should be aimed at manager Jose Mourinho, not Lingard....

Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli spoke afterwards of the high intensity of the game and how it resembled more competitive game than friendly. Despite it being scoreless, Herrera would’ve learned a lot and declared himself satisfied with the performance afterwards. There was a healthy dose of respect between the two sides, which play similar technical game with the ball on the ground. Chile had more possession, but Mexico countered well and by midway through the second half had wrestled back control of the game....

Of course they are beautifully crafted–gleaming, high-tech artifacts, designed, photographed, edited and special-effected to within a millimeter of technical perfection. And director Robert Zemeckis and his co-writer Bob Gale have kept the good-natured, artificially innocent quality that the Spielberg operation has practically patented. But, hey, kids, the real smarts have gone out of BTTF. In the second one (released only six months ago), Marty and Doc found themselves in 2015, with their precious Hill Valley now a technoburb where ads have become zooming holograms, skateboards are hoverboards and tiny pizzas expand instantly to family size in the hydrator....

Like the role of celebrity chef itself, this trend was pioneered by Wolfgang Puck, who began opening fancy pizza cafes in malls and airports in 1990 and now has 20 in six states. But you don’t expect to see him behind the counter at one. It was far more shocking to gourmets when Jasper White closed his elegant waterfront restaurant in Boston and reappeared last May in the kitchen of a Wal-Mart-scaled eatery called Jasper White’s Summer Shack....

Game 7. Win, or go home. Each team has protected its home floor in the first six games of the series, which is a good sign for the 2 seed Celtics. Boston’s 14-point win in Game 2 was its biggest margin of victory in the series as Games 1 and 5 were decided down the stretch. The Bucks have shown that they can keep things close at TD Garden, but a complete effort is needed to get them over the hump....

Jones suffered a long-term ankle injury in January before then sustaining a knee problem in September which delayed his comeback. The England international has impressed on his return, however, forming a strong central-defensive partnership with Marcos Rojo as Jose Mourinho’s men have overcome a mixed start to the Premier League season to climb to sixth in the table. Jones’ career has been plagued by a series of injuries at United, and previous club Blackburn Rovers, but is hoping a more mature approach to how he recovers after matches will help end those problems....

They arrested 20 people and seized 4 tons of cannabis in hashish form. The gang had been using the watercraft, as can be seen in the above footage, to zoom onto land and drop the drugs off before making a quick getaway, according to police. Other footage shows a police raid on the gang that is suspected of having smuggled drugs from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa to the southwestern Spanish port city of Cadiz....

Garland revealed the Department of Justice was suing the state during an afternoon press conference. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Texas, and it urges a judge to declare that the law is invalid, “to enjoin its enforcement, and to protect the rights that Texas has violated.” The restrictive abortion law, known as SB8, bans the procedure as early as six weeks into pregnancy and allows private citizens to take legal action against anyone who helps a woman terminate her pregnancy....

Milan appointed Gattuso following the dismissal of Vincenzo Montella late in November and the former midfielder has overseen just two wins in his first five matches at the helm. After a dramatic 2-2 draw against bottom side Benevento, whose goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli scored a 95th-minute equaliser, and a 2-0 Europa League loss to Rijeka, the ship appeared to be steadied with back-to-back victories over Bologna and Verona, the latter in the Coppa Italia....

Newsom was seen posing with basketball legend Magic Johnson during the San Francisco 49ers game against the Los Angeles Rams at the stadium in Inglewood on Sunday. Johnson, who was also not wearing a mask in the photos, also shared images of him alongside San Francisco Mayor London Breed and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, neither of whom were wearing masks. Newsom and the other Democratic leaders have since been criticized on social media for not following California’s COVID-19 guidelines....

Headgear: Helmets are not usually worn on Everest. It’s more important to keep the head warm. Clothing: New fabrics protect climbers from the cold. Polypropylene inner liners move sweat away from skin. Medium layers add insulation, while a Gore-Tex outer layer offers protection from the elements. Glassses: Ultraviolet lenses protect against snow blindness. Plastic boots: With inner liner keep feet warm. Gaiters: Cover entire boot and prevent snow from getting in....

Perhaps the biggest hardship for U.S. troops will be the approaching Bosnian winter. The army will issue soldiers these standard items to keep them warm and safe: vinyl overshoes leather work gloves wet-weather poncho M-40 protective mask wet-weather pants wool sweater night-vision goggles body armor barracks bag cold-weather liner entrenching tool first-aid dressing shelter sleeping bag mattress pad wool blanket ammo pouch duffel bag or kit bag waterproof bag...

The pilot of the plane walked away with only minor injuries after the plane crashed in Turkey, a small town 300 miles north-west of Dallas, on September 7. Following an investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) concluded that the accident was caused because the plane was flying too slowly, causing its motors to stall. “The pilot reported, that while manoeuvring at a low altitude in an aerial applicator airplane, he dumped about 350 gallons of pink water for a gender reveal,” the body said in its report....

Sex describes your biology (male or female chromosomal makeup, hormones, and/or anatomy)Gender describes how you understand yourself as a man (masculine), a woman (feminine), a mixture of the two, or something else entirely That’s a good start toward understanding gender vs. sex, but there’s far more to it. The categories “male and female,” “masculine and feminine,” and “man and woman” do not capture every person. For example, someone’s sex may be male while their gender is feminine....

A person with GAD doesn’t simply have rational worries based on actual risk—they worry regardless of outside stressors, exaggerate the perceived level of risk, and cannot rationalize away the worry. What Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder? GAD is a common mental illness that is characterized by excessive, chronic worry that interferes with a person’s ability to function normally. It is estimated that about 6.8 million adults—or 3.1% of the U.S. population—are affected in any given year....

At Michigan and campuses all around the country, the generation that once had it all–peace, prosperity, even the dot-com dream of retiring at 30–faces its defining moment. College students are supposed to be finding their place in the world, not just a profession but also an intellectual framework for learning and understanding the rest of their lives. After the terrorist attacks, that goal seems more urgent and yet more elusive than ever....
