Usachev is one of many Russian social media stars whose livelihoods have been affected by Google’s decision to demonetize YouTube videos in Russia, but he believes even heavier sanctions may come from the Russian authorities themselves. The 32-year-old Usachev has over 4 million followers across YouTube, Twitter and Instagram. Born and raised in Russia, he strongly opposes his home country’s recent actions in Ukraine. Speaking exclusively to Newsweek, he called for countries and governments to settle their differences through “diplomacy, trade and the power of their culture — not with rockets and hate....

So it is with the power of exercise to spur the production of new neurons in the brain, improve learning and lift depression. Fred Gage and colleagues at the Salk Institute showed in 2005 that it does happen—even elderly rats have a spurt of this “neurogenesis” after a few sessions in the exercise wheel. And researchers led by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois showed in 2006 that the effect occurs in people, too, so that even a hour a day of mall-walking increases the amount of gray matter in the brains of the elderly....

Exercise-induced compartment syndrome is different from acute compartment syndrome, a surgical emergency. Typically, acute compartment syndrome is the result of a traumatic injury causing a similar increase in compartment pressures. In this situation, the pressure cannot be controlled easily, and a delay in treatment can lead to permanent muscle and tissue damage. In people with chronic compartment syndrome, the pressure is relieved by stopping exercise activity, and the symptoms will spontaneously improve....

People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, have a reduced capacity for exercise/activity due to dyspnea and fatigue, which stem from an inadequate oxygen supply within the body. Over time, even the slightest tasks, such as getting dressed, can cause difficulty. Fortunately, research shows that getting regular exercise can reduce COPD symptoms, improve energy, increase endurance and help you feel better overall.

What Exfoliation Does for Your Skin In simple terms, exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells. An exfoliant is a product or procedure that reduces the amount of dead cell build-up on the skin. Your skin naturally exfoliates, or sheds dead cells, through a process called desquamation. But in people with acne, this natural process isn’t working as effectively as it should. Dead skin cells are hanging around longer than they should, plugging up the pores and creating comedones....

In many sports around the world - most notably baseball - the use of more complex statistical metrics has become commonplace as teams search for any edge they can get over their rivals. Football, though, has been - and continues to be - more resistant to change. The fluency of the game, critics of analytics argue, makes it impossible to measure with numbers. But behind the scenes, many of the more modern coaches and executives have come to see the value of integrating statistical analysis into tactics, transfers and training....

Week 12 looks like a bit of a wasteland in terms of finding value on teams that are favored to win. There aren’t really any surprising favorites, and several of the closer point spreads are in games where a big-name team like Pittsburgh is on the road vs. a not-that-great opponent like Denver and is still being overvalued as a result. At the same time, there are a number of really big favorites (Chargers, Saints, Ravens, Patriots) that are simply too big of a risk to pick against in most pools....

The hybrid, a recombination virus that has been dubbed “Deltacron,” is not a cause for concern, according to infectious disease experts. “For some viruses, recombination among different individual viruses or different viral variants is very, very common,” Maciej Boni, MS, PhD, associate professor of biology at Pennsylvania State University’s Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics, told Verywell. “This does not mean that a completely new virus is being produced, nor that the virus will be more dangerous and more transmissible....

If you’re Pat Buchanan, it’s harder to move around. To get to Arcadia Parish in the Louisiana bayou last week, he flew commercial (in coach). In New Orleans he opened a campaign office, then rode in a Buick for hours across a flat terrain of swamps, flooded rice fields and billboard ads for boiled crawfish. But like Forbes, he had a point to make. Only his vision is bleak: a foreign, profit-driven “Them” destroying America with cheap labor, drugs and a flood tide of immigrants....

The newly enhanced footage was shared on YouTube on September 6. The clip, originally captured by David Fleay, shows Benjamin wandering around his enclosure at the Beaumaris Zoo in Hobart, Australia.

Aubameyang placed the silvery Lamborghini that has a metallic paint finish and his personalized logo on the bonnet in an online car market in Germany. The Gabon international who broke a Bundesliga record for the most goals scored by an African in the German top-flight with 97 goals, is a car freak and also owns Ferrari, Aston Martin and Porsche cars.

‘The Beast from the East’ is a polar vortex, moving from Siberia in Russia and sweeping west across the continent towards the Atlantic Ocean thereby bringing snow, cold winds as it passes over European countries. Following their English League Cup defeat at Wembley on Sunday, the Gunners were drilled in the snow as they prepare for Thursday’s English Premier League game against Manchester City. And the Gabon international who arrived at the Emirates Stadium on a club-record fee from Borussia Dortmund in January, seems to be acclimatising himself with the frosty conditions....

The Merseyside outfit registered their sixth victory of the season with a crucial away victory at St. James’ Park, thanks to Wayne Rooney’s first-half strike. The win moved the Toffees to the 10th spot in the English top-flight log with 22 points from 17 games.

Approximately 24,000 new cases of eye herpes are diagnosed in the United States each year, and an estimated 1 million new cases per year are diagnosed globally. Men are slightly more likely to get eye herpes than women. The area of the eye affected depends on the type of eye herpes. Usually, the cornea (the normally clear dome that covers the front part of the eye) is affected, but eye herpes can reach the inside of the eye or the retina (the thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye on the inside)....

Eye strain also can occur if you have trouble seeing something due to a vision problem and your eyes are working extra hard to see clearly. The things you want to see may appear blurry as your eyes strain and work harder. As people spend more time on electronic devices, eye strain has increased. Eye strain associated with electronic devices is called computer vision syndrome or digital eye strain. You may also hear eye strain referred to as eye fatigue, asthenopia, or tired eyes....

In a series of tweets Monday, Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reported the Cowboys running back hasn’t made a definitive decision regarding his training camp holdout but is “absolutely thinking it through and definitely wants an extension in the works.” Robinson noted “a big part of this is whether the two sides are feeling good about the progress of talks” after the “lines of communication have been open with Zeke’s camp for more than a month” as Elliott also dealt with the aftermath of an incident at a music festival in Las Vegas earlier this year in which he was handcuffed but not arrested....
