☆ The New A.C. Milan Picks Up Where the Old One Left Off

“This club is used to these moments, these emotions. It knows how to be a protagonist.”For Milan, this is the stage on which it belongs. The clubs have been here before: They were paired together in the semifinals in 2003, and again in the quarterfinals in 2007. And yet the rivalry’s return is not testament to how little has changed, but how much. It was still, recognizably, the team that Silvio Berlusconi had built, the fruits of the first modern superclub: experienced, authoritative, impossibly glamorous.

This time, after the fatal attack on Papi the World Wildlife Fund, which had previously petitioned to keep JJ4 alive told CNN they agree that the bear should be put down. There are now four bears, including JJ4, with judicial orders to be culled.

Currently on a trip through Eastern Europe, she said she is doing more tours than she would have at a higher weight.

Our sandwiches weren’t always this bad for us. Sandwiches have grown less healthy in the past 40 years, says Dariush Mozaffarian, a cardiologist and professor of nutrition and medicine at Tufts University. Culprits include highly processed grains in bread and the low-fat push that took off in the 1980s, which nutritionists now say led to the consumption of more deli meats marketed as low-fat.

Feb 24 (Reuters) - Italy's doValue (DOVA.MI) will focus on merger and acquisitions (M&A) in 2023, as it expects a wave of consolidation in the market of problem loan managers, its chief executive Andrea Mangoni said.

In Italy doValue competes with peers such as Elliott-backed Gardant or Prelios, owned by U.S. fund Davidson Kempner Capital Management. DK is currently discussing a possible sale of Prelios to Andrea Pignataro's ION Group, which in 2021 bought credit data and bad loan recovery firm Cerved.

☆ How Long Do Flu Symptoms Last? What to Know

Many people are experiencing the particular misery of the flu for the first time in several years. After two years of milder flu seasons, here is a reminder of what the flu is—and what to do if you get it. This flu season hit earlier and harder than those of the past couple of years, doctors say. The reason is likely because of the cyclical nature of the flu and the lifting of Covid precautions such as working from home, wearing masks and having smaller social gatherings, says Robert Frenck , a pediatrician in the division of infectious diseases at Cincinnati Children’s hospital in Ohio.

☆ Malta parliament debates 'abortion law,' protesters hit the streets

"We are here to be the voice of the unborn child," said 19-year-old university student Maria Formosa, one of the speakers at the rally. “Through abortion, life is always lost.”Traditionally Catholic Malta is the only member of the European Union which bans abortion in all circumstances, even when a woman's life or health is endangered by her pregnancy. Her doctors said her life was at risk and she was eventually transferred to Spain where she had an abortion. She later sued the Malta government, calling on the courts to declare that banning abortion in all circumstances breaches human rights.

☆ New Help for a Group at Risk for Suicide: Middle-Aged Men
  + stars: | 2022-11-27 | by ( Andrea Petersen | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Doctors and psychologists are testing new ways to treat a long-running mental-health crisis: high rates of suicide among middle-aged and older men. Men overall have a suicide rate between three and four times as high as women, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One reason is that men tend to choose more lethal means—most often firearms—when they attempt. Men are also less likely than women to seek mental-health help. And men’s anxiety and depression often come across as anger or irritability rather than worry and sadness, so conditions that can raise the risk of suicide can go undiagnosed and untreated.

Still, rents nationwide were up 9% in September, compared to a year earlier, and more than a dozen cities had double-digit rent increases, it said. In Phoenix, for example, rent increases have slowed in recent months, but in June were up 24% year over year, with a median asking rent of $2,261. In Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, evictions are at their highest levels since at least 2016, with more than 45,000 filings this year. Zenovia Johnson is one of those Phoenix renters who’s been struggling to stay in her home because of rising rents. In Minneapolis, where rent increases have trended below the national average, evictions in September were 37% above their historical averages after shooting up in June, when the state lifted its eviction moratorium.

Schools have added or expanded screenings for mental health or emotional well-being, and earlier this month, a panel of medical experts recommended children and teens ages 8 to 18 be screened for anxiety disorders.
