Oh, Hugo Chavez. For anyone who follows international politics, you are always good for a laugh. But it would appear pointing your critical eye for the West, America, Capitalism, or any of the other myriad of things you’re not crazy about just wasn’t enough. Now you have to go after my video games. In his weekly radio show, the Venezuelan President has come out swinging at the video game industry, calling the Sony PlayStation “poison” and accusing it of an agenda to “promote the need for cigarettes, drugs and alcohol so they can sell them....

What’s Going Wrong Just as we see in the eldercare industry, representatives in charge of children can be stretched too thin or not given sufficient resources. This can then lead to the use of chemical restraint as a solution. In other cases, facilities or individual representatives might have financial incentives to label children as having specific conditions and medicate the children in their care. Monitoring of children on psychotropic drugs is infrequent and often fails to follow professional guidelines....

Musk’s comments came during an appearance on an episode of the Lex Friedman Podcast released Tuesday. “When do you think SpaceX will land a human being on Mars?” host Lex Friedman asked Musk, the richest man in the world, worth an estimated $278 billion. The South African-born tech mogul paused for over 10 seconds before finally answering, “best case is about five years, worst case 10 years.” Friedman followed up by inquiring about “the deterring factors … from an engineering perspective” in terms of landing humans on the Red Planet....

The fact that he is flying to United States of America to play in the historic two-match T20I series against West Indies speaks volumes about his intention to play for India and his hunger for cricket. But the real question everyone should be asking is not when he should retire but what he will do after retirement. Whenever Dhoni decides to call time on his career, the question of what he will do next is an intriguing one....

Gov. Tim Walz announced a four-week dial back order to last until December 18 but ReOpen Minnesota, a coalition of business owners, has launched a two phased plan for business owners to start opening their doors before then. The organization is calling for rural businesses to reopen on Wednesday, December 16 and metropolitan businesses to reopen on Friday, December 18, regardless of whether Gov. Walz’s order is extended or not....

My Son Hunter, also starring former Star Wars actress Gina Carano, was released on September 7. The film, which was distributed by Breitbart News, deals with allegations of corruption against both Joe and Hunter Biden, while also covering Hunter’s much publicized battle with addiction. The film ends in an alternative reality where Hunter Biden is arrested over the laptop story, and Donald Trump wins re-election. Speaking to Newsweek, Laurence Fox, the 44-year-old British actor who stars as Hunter, said the president’s son deserves more focus from the entertainment industry....

It was no easy going for Hyderabad as their mixed doubles pair and men’s singles star B Sai Praneeth were stretched to three games before winning their respective matches. Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Pia Zebadiah Bernadet started off well against the Bengaluru duo of Manu Attiri and Sikki Reddy by winning the first game 15-6. But the Reddys fought back to level the scores 14-15. In the decider, the Hyderabad duo took charge, supported by a vociferous crowd, and won 15-9 to help Hyderabad gain their first point....

The hurricane made landfall on Sunday afternoon at Elbow Cay in the Abaco Islands—a group of islands and barrier cays in the northeast of the Bahamas archipelago which sit less than 200 miles from the Florida coast. Power cuts and internet disruption meant that information is only slowly emerging from the affected regions. The BBC reported that the Abaco Islands were underwater after Dorian hit, as a result of a 23-foot storm surge....

The National Hurricane Center reported the eye of the hurricane, which is currently located over Grand Bahama, was only moving at a speed of 1 mile per hour as of Monday morning. Maximum sustained winds were tracked at 165 miles and extended nearly 45 miles from the storm’s center while areas in the Caribbean some 140 miles away from Dorian’s eye also faced tropical-force winds. Dorian is expected to move westward to northward — heading towards Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, according to meteorologists — over the next few days....

Hyderabad FC have moved away from the all-black uniform of their debut campaign. The new Hyderabad FC jersey will feature a yellow color. The collars, the shoulders, and sleeve cuffs are in black color. The shirt features a black diagonal design covering the chest. White makes its first appearance in the HFC jersey color scheme, with a thin bold white line separating the yellow half of the shirt from the black diagonal chest portion....

On Thursday evening, Macron went to the southeastern coastal city of Marseille to meet Didier Raoult, a microbiology researcher who conducted two studies of the drug on coronavirus patients with moderate symptoms. Although Raoult’s studies showed positive results, both have been criticized for their methodology and limitations, according to the American magazine Science. Raoult’s first study involved only 42 patients, and Raoult personally decided which ones received drugs and which received placebos, a move which critics say could have biased his results in favor of the treatment....

Comprised of the brain and spinal cord, the job of the central nervous system is to take information in from the outside, for example, hot or cold sensations, or sensations about the position your body is in, process it and then issue a movement response to it. If you touch a boiling pot, your automatic response will likely be to withdraw your hand from the pot as soon as possible....

If your blood sugar gets dangerously low, you may have symptoms like confusion, vision difficulties, behavioral changes, seizures, or even loss of consciousness. Hypoglycemia can occur in those without diabetes as well. Fortunately, eating or drinking some simple carbohydrates can usually provide a quick fix—but to do that you need to be able to identify the symptoms of hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia Symptoms The symptoms of hypoglycemia tend to follow a pattern that you’ll probably very quickly learn to recognize if you have diabetes....

HPP affects the development of bones and teeth. It is a metabolic disease that results from low levels of an enzyme called alkaline phosphatase. Individual outcomes vary, but since there is no cure for it, managing HPP is a complex, long-term, and often evolving process. Those with serious cases of HPP face not only significant medical problems that require lifelong treatment, but they also experience higher rates of behavioral problems and diminished quality of life....

Needless to say, I spent a lot of yesterday getting cozy with my rental car. My first task was to pick up my press credentials at Hollywood & Highland, Oscar’s new location. Shouldn’t have been too hard to get there, right? After all, the venue is named for its location–two very big streets in the center of town. I turned up the radio, put on my sunglasses and headed to Sunset Boulevard, which I thought would be the most direct route....

Ancelotti was sacked by Bayern Munich last month following a 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League amid claims relations had broken down between the Italian and a number of his experienced squad members. Bayern Munich 13/2 to win Champions League The former Real Madrid head coach has since been linked as a possible replacement for Montella at San Siro, with Milan sitting seventh in Serie A after seven matches....

Salah lasted just 30 minutes of May’s Champions League showpiece, trudging off the pitch holding his shoulder, with Adam Lallana replacing him at 0-0. The Egypt international had been involved in a tangle with Ramos a few minutes earlier, an incident which many accused the Madrid man of instigating, as Madrid went on to win 3-1. Klopp was among those to criticise Ramos, accusing him of “wrestling” Salah to the ground – not that the defender was particularly bothered, joking in response that the only thing he had not been blamed for was giving Roberto Firmino a cold....

Jose Mourinho last month stripped Pogba of the United vice-captaincy amid reports of frosty relations between the two during the Red Devils’ difficult start to the 2018-19 season. Having left Manchester to join the France squad for Les Bleus’ forthcoming friendly against Iceland and Nations League encounter with Germany, the 25-year-old refuted an interest in being the national team’s skipper. Pogba said in quotes reported by L’Equipe: “I have never played for France to be captain....

Arsenal booked their place in the quarter-finals with Wednesday’s win and are due to meet bitter rivals Tottenham in the next round, but it was by no means an impressive collective performance. Guendouzi set up the Gunners’ first-half opener, which Stephan Lichtsteiner converted, before 18-year-old midfielder Emile Smith Rowe netted just after the break. Young Frenchman Guendouzi was then dismissed for a second booking in the 56th minute after needlessly tugging on Jordan Thompson, and Paudie O’Connor pulled one back soon after....

With Nikola Kalinic out injured and Andre Silva struggling for form, the 20-year-old forward has stepped up to lead the line in recent weeks. Cutrone has scored four goals in his last four outings in a Milan shirt, with his opener in the 3-0 win at Ludogorets in the Europa League on Thursday taking his tally for the season to 13 in all competitions. Gattuso, however, wants to ease the level of expectation surrounding a player who has already drawn comparisons to Rossoneri great Filippo Inzaghi....
