Energy in the Bank When occupational therapists use the term “energy conservation,” they are referring to managing your body’s energy levels. Think of your energy level like money in a bank: There is only so much you can spend before your account runs low. Learning to use this bank wisely means you can conserve your energy for the most important tasks, and avoid unnecessary “spending.” Energy conservation techniques can be especially useful for people whose energy levels may be affected by their chronic pain, such as those with arthritis or fibromyalgia....

While American audiences watched the full interview on Sunday night, it won’t air in the U.K. until Monday evening. Nevertheless, Brits have responded to the biggest disclosures made by the couple in their first public remarks since their split from the monarchy. In the interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan made the shocking admission that she felt so isolated as a member of the British royal family that she contemplated suicide after an onslaught of negative press—and claimed she was denied help from palace officials when she sought it....

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is also selected, while it appears Gareth Southgate will deploy a back three comprising of Kyle Walker, Gary Cahill and John Stones. Sterling has found himself the subject of various back-page headlines after his gun tattoo, that he explained was a tribute to his late father, was spotted in England training. The winger also attracted negative attention for arriving late to join England’s training camp due to a mix-up with his flights, although Southgate explained he had already received an apology....

According to NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the asteroid—496860 (1999 XL136)—will pass our planet at a distance of around 8.3 million miles. Earth’s nearest planetary neighbor, Venus, is three times as far away from our planet as the distance at which this asteroid will pass. Mars is located at an average of about 17 times this distance, around 140 million miles from Earth. It will be traveling at a speed of around 37,500 miles per hour....

Enrique Tarrio, chairman of the far-right organisation, was released from custody on Tuesday but ordered to leave Washington, D.C. by a judge as thousands of extremists gather in the capital to protest the election results on Wednesday. Tarrio, who was arrested on January 4 while entering the District of Columbia, was held on suspicion of destruction of property in connection to the flag burning. The flag had been torn from the Asbury United Methodist Church on December 12 following a previous pro-Trump protest in D....

This approach is a losing one that reduces the effectiveness of the green lobby. What’s needed to combat climate change is a pragmatic approach based on adapting to real and verifiable dangers. And this starts with environmentalists acknowledging the limits of our ability to curb emissions in the short run. This is not to cede the fight. The reality is what we do in the West means increasingly little. Today’s biggest emitters comes from China, which already emits more GHG than the U....

This spray, which has been available to the public for months, can kill SARS-CoV-2 in 60 seconds or less, according to Procter and Gamble, the company behind Microban’s spray.

PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” are found in an array of consumer products, including food packaging, nonstick cookware, carpeting, and clothing. Through manufacturing and waste, these chemicals leach into the environment, affecting the drinking water of more than 200 million people. The EPA advisory is non-binding, meaning the federal government cannot punish manufacturers that do not comply with the threshold. But state regulators can use the advisories to set legal thresholds or to serve as a guide for clean-up efforts....

Around 66 million years ago, a mass extinction event occurred that wiped out around three-quarters of all living species on the planet. The consensus is that this event was caused by the Chicxulub impact—an asteroid strike that left behind a 124-mile-wide mark on Earth. The power the impact generated was colossal. Immediately, the blast would have generated a core of superheated plasma and a shockwave that radiated across seas and deep into the continental interior, causing damage across a radius of 932 miles, according to initial estimates cited by the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI)....

Breslau became Wroclaw. For the first time since the Middle Ages the Poles were back in control; the city was in “recovered territory.” Any German civilians who’d survived a devastating 14-week Russian siege were expelled to find new homes in the West. In their place came Polish refugees, themselves ousted from territory grabbed by the Soviet Union hundreds of miles to the east. German street names vanished, German statues were toppled, priceless German books from the university library were destroyed....

At the start of the exercise, known as Dark Winter, the group heard that patients had turned up at hospitals in Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Georgia, complaining of aches and fevers and exhibiting unusual rashes. Each patient had visited one of three shopping centers, and lab tests confirmed that they didn’t have flu or measles. They had all contracted smallpox, an ancient scourge that killed more people than war did during the 20th century but hadn’t been seen since 1977....

Jeffrey Epstein, 66, was found dead of what authorities ruled a hanging inside his cell at Lower Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center in August. Mark Epstein claimed that his older brother had reformed himself after being released from jail in 2009.

As Bledsoe recognized, restricted free agency and the Phoenix Suns’ approach to it played a part in that. There was a league-wide belief that the Suns would match any deal offered to Bledsoe, which called off other suitors before free agency even started. MORE: Bledsoe, Monroe restricted free agent blues | LeBron will wear No. 23 Bledsoe was asked about how this situation has played out, with him sitting on the market after almost a month on the market....

Trump made the remarks at the “ReAwaken America” rally in Manheim, Pennsylvania on Friday where he also briefly called his father and had him address the crowd. The House Select Committee has issued a subpoena to former President Trump ordering him to testify before the panel on his alleged role in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Eric Trump suggested that his father’s appearance before the committee could be entertaining and that the former president would take the opportunity to discuss unfounded claims that the 2020 election was stolen....
