If you use toothpaste, make sure it is not grainy as this can scratch the watch crystal. Mineral crystal is more scratch-resistant than acrylic crystal, and tends to crack or shatter under extreme temperature or when hit from an angle. Sapphire crystals are harder than mineral glass or acrylic crystal and are more likely to withstand cracks and breakage than other types of watch glass. Do not use any type of polish on a watch crystal you are unsure about, as this can cause damage....

Parking on level ground makes it easier for you to access the VSS. Make sure the hood is held securely in place before you lean into it to test the VSS. Vehicle speed sensors can be installed in different locations depending on what make and model of vehicle you have, but they measure the rotation of the transmission, so they’ll generally be located on or next to the transmission. Consult your owner’s manual to find the location of your VSS....

According to a study of more than 16,000 adults published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: a Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, unplanned weight loss is strongly correlated with dementia severity. Adequate nutrition is critical to maintaining the highest functioning possible for each person, perhaps especially in dementia, where needs like hunger might not always be fully communicated.​ Causes Lack of recognition of food Depression Diminished senses of vision, smell, and taste Lack of exercise Unrecognized pain Lack of healthy teeth or poor-fitting dentures Fatigue Side-effects of medications, such as constipation and changes in taste Lack of muscle coordination or memory to move food to the mouth or use utensils Chewing and swallowing changes, such as pocketing food in the cheek...

As I headed out to the Maccabi vaccine distribution center, I felt a sense of anticipation; a feeling that finally, science and reason might be winning the day. My designated vaccination center was a distance from my home, so I rented a nearby Bird (scooter), my preferred method of traversing Tel Aviv (especially during a pandemic, during which I have not set foot on public transit.) The route to the vaccine took me through one of my favorites parks along the Yarkon River, and then past Tel Aviv’s main convention center; the same center I frequently visited to attend high-tech conferences....

In a poll conducted on Monday, all 15 economists said they expected the economy to shrink sharply in the second quarter, ending the longest expansion in American history. Five analysts forecast contraction in the first quarter as well, after the Trump administration and state and local governments imposed restrictions on travel and large gatherings, shutting down swaths of the economy to stop the spread of the deadly virus. “The negative shock to the U....

But this week, on the 10th anniversary of the experiment’s launch, the AFT will release a highly critical assessment of the movement that now claims 2,119 schools and more than a half million students in 37 states and the District of Columbia. While some distinctive new schools have been established, the report concludes that too often, charters haven’t lived up to their end of the bargain. On average, charters (especially the for-profits) spend more on administration and less on instruction than local public schools....

Can Stress Cause Cancer? Over the years, many scientific studies have tried to determine if stress can cause cancer, or cause it to grow faster. When the body is under stress, it releases stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline—hormones that could, in the long term, cause your immune system to become suppressed (function not as well.) That is why you may notice that at times in your life when you were under a lot of pressure, such as exam time in school or just before a job interview, you came down with an illness....

The FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee will meet via teleconference between 9:00 a.m. ET and 5:30 p.m. ET to review the pharmaceutical company’s EUA submission for the prevention of COVID-19 in adults aged 18 or over. If all goes well, the FDA could authorize the vaccine as early as Saturday—in which case, it would become the third COVID-19 shot to be approved for emergency use in the United States....

Busquets was on the receiving end of a heavy challenge from Gonzalo Escalante and left the field on a stretcher after 10 minutes, but Luis Enrique’s men overcame a rough opening to lead through Denis Suarez – who was able to celebrate his first goal for the club having replaced the Spain international. The second, third and fourth goals arrived after half-time from more familiar sources. Lionel Messi continued his imperious recent form with his 28th of the season five minutes after the break and Luis Suarez capitalised on a dreadful error from Florian Lejeune to make it 19 for the campaign....

Police responded to the Presidential Gardens complex in the Newhallville neighborhood of New Haven at around 2 p.m. local time on Monday, according to Police Captain Anthony Duff. Emergency responders were called to care for the baby, who was found alive with burns on her body in a trash bin at the complex. The baby, who suffered burns to her hands, was hospitalized at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital and is in stable condition, authorities said....

I sat down and my dad tried to give me Ibuprofen, and I couldn’t swallow because my disc slipped out my esophagus, and as I’m coughing the pills up, that’s when I feel just excruciating pain just coming up my neck,” he told WWL-TV....

The 18-year-old breakout Olympian crashed China’s main social media service, Weibo, after she came out on top in the women’s freeski big air final. Raised in San Francisco and known in Chinese as “Ailing,” Gu announced her decision to compete for China in July 2019, but she’s never directly addressed the question of whether she had renounced her U.S. citizenship. China doesn’t recognize dual nationality. China’s “snow princess”—born to an American father and Chinese mother—has become the country’s most popular athlete at Beijing 2022....

Aunque los informes aseguraban que el jugador ya había firmado con el club de Old Trafford hace mucho tiempo, el contrato recién se rubricó en la última semana, con la Juventus habiendo intentado el fichaje de Traore hasta último momento. Incluso el Manchester City estaba interesado en él. Los rumores de mercado entre los grandes clubes Traore, que cumplirá 17 años en el próximo mes de enero, ha firmado un contrato de cuatro años con el equipo de José Mourinho, aunque el primero de ellos lo pasará en el equipo juvenil del United....

No hay ofertas por Munir El Haddadi en estos momentos a pesar de que hoy algún medio mencionó una presunta propuesta económica del Zenit de San Petersburgo para incorporar al delantero, que esta temporada ha jugado cedido en el Valencia. Pero tras el próximo 30 de junio regresará a la disciplina azulgrana, pero el Barcelona no cuenta con él y le ha tasado en 20 millones de euros, notablemente más de los 12 millones que reflejaba la opción de compra por parte del club ‘ché’....

In a study published in the journal International Journal of Biometeorology, the scientists say they have found a link between atmospheric electric fields and electrical activity seen in many different living creatures on our planet. “We show that the electrical activity in many living organisms—from zooplankton in the oceans to sharks and even in our brains—is very similar to the electrical fields we measure and study in the atmosphere from global lightning activity,” Colin Price, lead author of the study from the Porter School of the Environment and Earth Sciences at Tel Aviv University, Israel, said in a statement....

1. How and If You Take Part in Meetings If you are only ever the receiver of information, with nothing to offer, you could be seen as a weak link. Many organizations work in teams and collaborations. Your input is as valuable as anyone else’s. Do your homework and prepare for meetings. Write down a few thoughts to share. Actively listen to what is being said and interject your thoughts....
