This synthetic form of GHRH is more potent and stable than GHRH is in its natural state. When injected, Egrifta stimulates the production of growth hormone (GH), which binds to receptors on organs and tissues that regulate body composition. In addition to having an anabolic (tissue- and muscle-building) effect, Egrifta is also lipolytic, meaning that it alters the pathways by which triglycerides are metabolized. It is this latter effect that is attributed to the improvement of lipodystrophy (abnormal body fat redistribution) in people with HIV....

The most successful team in the history of the Afcon with seven titles, the Pharaohs are set to make a return to the tournament following a seven-year absence. The North Africans have been drawn in Group D alongside four-time champions Ghana, 1972 finalists Mali and East African side Uganda. “The expectations here in Cairo [for the Afcon] are very high," Cuper told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “[This is] mainly due to the traditions that accompany us [for being] the nation with most African titles and the hunger of the fans after missing the last three editions....

The 26-year-old was forced off in Thursday’s Egyptian Premier League tie against Al Ittihad. And after undergoing medical examinations, El-Shennawy took to social media to reveal his injury woes ahead of the global showpiece. “I want to thank God for everything, this is my fate and I accept it. This injury is a test from Allah, the anterior cruciate ligament injury was confirmed,” El-Shenawy tweeted. “I will fly to Germany to finish the needed medical tests and know the extent of the injury....

The Pharaohs’ attacker insists they still want to claim their first win on the global stage and will fight to do so on Monday, June 25. The Al Ittihad hitman was speaking about Egypt’s upcoming clash against the Saudis as they wrap up their first appearance at the global showpiece since 1990. Under the management of coach Hector Cuper, the North Africans are yet to win a group match after opening with a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Uruguay....

Zinedine Zidane’s team are three points clear of Barca with a game in hand going into the clash at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“I wasn’t there on Sunday but I was there really early Monday,” writer and El Paso resident Ivan Pierre Aguirre, who documented some of the migrants’ crossing of Rio Grande into the Texan city, told Newsweek. “For El Paso, it means our recourses are going to put to the test… again.” Aguirre reported about how the El Paso community came through for the migrants as temperatures dropped to near freezing overnight in the past few days, while people waited to be processed by border patrol....

Twitter user @PJeffC, who writes from the Bronx in New York, said that an election site didn’t have working scanners. “Disappointed with election site at CS 150 on Fox Street. After waiting in line since 5:30 AM and filling out ballots after they opened up tardy, we were informed that the scanners were not working. Very disorganized.” In Florida, News8 reporter Josh Navarro reports that a polling location in Grace Church in Rochester was having technical issues with voting machines....

A good place to start is the newly revamped Ministry of Sound, a U.K. site where Ibiza and London parties are captured online by Webcams. Or you can go to the virtual club built by Neil Roberts, a deejay from Cardiff. There, you can learn about the perils of hearing loss or chat with other surfers. Club promoters find that Web sites draw crowds from far afield. Graphic designers can show off party fliers, and DJs with home pages can get gigs....

Silicon chips are a long way from perfect. Manufacture involves hefty expense, high temperatures and some nasty chemicals. The alternative promises to be cheaper and much less finicky. Plastic Logic will be using polyethylene, one of the world’s most widely used polymers, to make tiny electronic circuits. The significance of Plastic Logic’s factory is that this is the first time anybody’s tried to mass-produce plastic circuits. Soon, the plastic chip may be available at one tenth the price of its silicon equivalent....

How else to describe the chain of events that led up to last week’s proposed–but by no means certain–85.5 billion [Euro] merger of Telecom Italia and Deutsche Telekom? Two years ago the Italian government privatized Telecom, but neglected to put a strong leader in charge. In the 12 months following the public sell-off, there were three different CEOs. Last November Franco Bernabe (who had won kudos for transforming ENI, the bloated state oil company) was brought in to turn things around....

An arrest report seen by Newsweek said Orange County Police Department officers arrested Kimrey Sheehan, 60, on Monday and charged her with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The principal, who has been in her position at Hunter’s Creek Elementary for nearly 10 years, is alleged to have driven a gray BMW toward her neighbor, David Gordon, and a dog walker on July 20. According to an incident report obtained by WKMG-TV, Sheehan had been “flicking” them off, raising two middle fingers at them during the incident....

The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would tax the net worth of America’s richest people by applying a 2 percent tax to those with a net worth above $50 million and a 3 percent tax to those worth above $1 billion. Net worth includes value of stocks, real estate, cars and anything else a person owns, minus their debts. Polls show that Warren’s proposal becoming increasingly popular, with more than three in five Americans saying they support a wealth tax, including a majority of Republican voters, which she’s hoping congressional Republicans will recognize....

DeVos criticized the proposals—which are stated parts of President-elect Joe Biden’s economic recovery plan and among the legislative aims of congressional progressives like Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—during her speech at an Education Department financial aid conference on Tuesday. “We’ve heard shrill calls to cancel, to forgive, to make it all free,” DeVos said in her speech. “Any innocuous label out there can’t obfuscate what it really is: Wrong....

Elliott held off Trevor Bayne to earn his third Nationwide Series win of the season Saturday night, putting the rookie on top of the standings. “We had an awesome race going,” Elliott said. “I try to make the most of my practice laps. They gave me a good car. That gives me time to learn the track in practice.” Elliott had a strong car all day long for JR Motorsports, qualifying third and leading a race-high 85 laps....

ALL is not lost. “We got rained on today, but there’s a silver lining,” Theodore Shaw, president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, tells NEWSWEEK. That lining came in the form of a concurring opinion from Justice Anthony Kennedy, who has taken over Sandra Day O’Connor’s role as the court’s swing vote. Kennedy typically swings more conservative than O’Connor; and, as was expected, he agreed with the conservative majority this time....

The Tesla CEO was responding to a report that had claimed his car firm was on the verge of launching its first ever smartwatch. “Definitely not,” Musk wrote in a tweet, shutting the rumor down. “Smartwatches & phones are yesterday’s technology, Neuralinks are the future.” His tweet was posted less than 24 hours before Apple’s expected launch of two new Apple Watch models, and Musk’s track record suggests the timing of his comment may have been deliberate....

JESSE: Call me a company man, but when I look at the finalists for the American League MVP, I think that Miguel Cabrera deserves it. I know that Mike Trout had better numbers, and I’m generally a numbers guy, but it’s not a stat trophy, it’s subjective. When I looked at the AL this year, I saw a hitter in Cabrera who could put the fear of God into an atheist....

To ensure you have as long as you need to drink your coffee hot, each mug comes with a saucer-like charger that plugs into the wall. In a similar move to extend battery life indefinitely on the road for both of its travel mugs, Ember now has a car charger. In theory, this is a perfect accessory for fans of Ember. I went hands on to see if the Travel Mug2 and the new $49....

A team led by Neil Ferguson, from Imperial College London, U.K., examined the non-pharmaceutical interventions to establish which strategies are most effective at lowering the impact of COVID-19, and how long these interventions would need to be in place. It analyzed two strategies: mitigation and suppression. While both involve similar measures, they have a different goal. With mitigation, the idea is to lower the number of new cases with techniques like isolation and social distancing, so the healthcare system is not overwhelmed....

Jese came through the youth ranks at Real Madrid before breaking into the first team, but departed the Spanish capital for the Ligue 1 champion after struggling for first-team football at the Santiago Bernabeu. However, the 23-year-old – who penned a five-year-deal at Parc des Princes – has found playing time hard to come by in Paris. Jese has racked up just five Ligue 1 appearances thus far with only one of those as part of the starting lineup and reports suggest the forward is already contemplating his future at PSG....
