Fauci, the country’s top infectious diseases expert, is stepping down from his role as longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and as President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser at the end of the year. On Tuesday, he suggested that Americans should consider those who are elderly or immunocompromised and get tested for COVID before attending Thanksgiving and other holiday gatherings this year. “When we’re gathering at a family gathering for Thanksgiving, for Christmas, or for any other holiday as we get into the winter,” Fauci said at the White House briefing room, “it makes sense that you might want to get a test that day before you come into a place in which you might be infected and spread it … in order to protect....

France midfielder Pogba flourished under Conte during their time together at Juventus, winning Serie A in both seasons. But the 24-year-old has been less productive since rejoining the Red Devils for a then-world record £89million in 2016.

The launch of yet another chapter in the Call of Duty series is upon the world, catapulting players into the future - as envisioned by developer Sledgehammer Games - where the already cutting-edge soldiers of the modern battlefield are put to shame, thanks to the rise of Private Military Corporations and the combat technology they make possible. This is the future of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

But some members of Congress question the political viability of accomplishing reform anytime soon—given the Legislative Branch’s track record on the issue—while others question whether they should have any role at all. “Is there a right legislative response? I don’t know. And I have to admit that as a leader, I don’t know,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). “And that vulnerability, to me, is very unsettling. People are looking—Alaskans are looking to me....

That’s because Hall of Famer Patrick Roy — spelling not withstanding — is the only player in NHL history to earn three Conn Smythe awards in his trophy room. MORE: History of the Conn Smythe trophy It’s hard enough to make it to multiple Stanley Cup finals, and it’s even tougher for players to win multiple Conn Smythe awards.

Whether you own an iPad or iPad mini, their screens can’t compare to the much larger HD TV sitting in your lounge (or even bedroom). Unlike most Android tablets, the iPad doesn’t have an HDMI output as everything goes through Apple’s dock connector.

Floyd Mayweather; what makes YouTuber turned pro athlete Jake Paul want to fight him; and, why he now looks bound for Hollywood....

The authors of the paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B looked at data from six existing studies involving 257 dogs in total. The experiments included seeing whether dogs would catch yawns off people who interacted with them—for instance by petting the animal—and others who ignored them.
