The sweet music of a Dodgers World Series win is still ringing in the ears of their fans, and they arguably have no player to thank more than Mookie Betts. Betts was infamously shipped west last year to Los Angeles in a blockbuster deal that Boston is still crying into their chowder over. So leave it to Dodgers fans to continue pouring salt in Red Sox fans’ wounds — this time, by way of billboard....

This article discusses the interaction between hormonal birth control and Lamictal and other birth control methods to consider. Lamictal and Birth Control Research has found that those using combined hormonal OCs (birth control pills that contain both synthetic estrogen and progestin hormones) experienced a greater than 60% reduction in the effectiveness of Lamictal. It was later discovered that this is due to the estrogen in combined hormonal contraceptives. Estrogen in OCs can increase the speed of Lamictal’s metabolism in the body by inducing the liver enzymes involved....

Double masking can impact comfort and wearability which in turn can decrease compliance, according to Michelle Ogunwole, MD, health disparities researcher and social epidemiologist based in Baltimore. “We had so much concern about wearing a mask and being able to breathe,” Ogunwole tells Verywell. “I think part of it is worrying that asking people to do an extra step will be even harder.” Currently, there is no data that supports double masking....

A handful of recent studies have found an association between inadequate sleep and a sluggish metabolism—starting in children as young as 4 years old. Later bedtimes are also linked to an increased body mass index (BMI), excessive snacking, and higher levels of obesity. The amount of sleep each child needs is individual and based on age. Preschoolers will need more sleep than teenagers, who still need more sleep than adults....

But is he a Hall of Famer? That question was brought up by a random Twitter user, and it caught the attention of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who you’ll remember took home the NFL MVP this season after breaking Vick’s single-season record for rushing yards by a quarterback. Jackson has been compared to Vick for obvious reasons, and he seems to be of the mind set that the Falcons legend is absolutely a Hall of Fame player....

Part of what makes the performance so powerful is how much she makes us as an audience care for her character despite her many flaws. We are even on her side right at the end, when Nina (played by Dakota Johnson) gets her revenge on Leda (Colman) by stabbing her with a hatpin. Exactly how much damage that hatpin does is left ambiguous. We see that Leda is hurt enough that she crashes her car, but it is not entirely clear what happens at the end....

The Questions About Soy and Breast Cancer Before launching into the controversy about soy and breast cancer, it’s important to point out that this is about more than one question. Many of you have heard that soy may lower the risk of breast cancer, but that breast cancer cells grown in a dish grow more rapidly if fed soy. What is that all about? Some of the separate questions include:...

Footage of a Russian journalist has gone viral online after a mischievous golden retriever interrupted her live broadcast and stole her microphone on-air. Mir TV weather reporter Nadezhda Serezhkina began her segment on an upbeat note, excited to share that “spring has arrived in Moscow.” However, just moments into her live broadcast, the dog jumped up on her, snagged the handheld microphone and ran down the street with his new prize....

The clip, shared by TikTok user @adelin.mrt, shows just the face of a dog fast asleep on a classroom table. The dog appears to be wrapped inside some type of blanket or perhaps a person’s coat, with its eyes closed and just one of its paws sticking out. A study by researchers at North Carolina State University, which was published in December 2020 in the peer-reviewed Scientific Reports, found that most dogs have two windows of “activity peaks” during the day....

The trend sees pet owners use a popular sound on the app, documenting a comedic voice confronting someone over “talking smack” about them. TikTok users often mouth the audio animatedly in the face of a person, but some have chosen to use their dogs as the role. According to dog behavior experts and vets alike, however, the trend could be incredibly stressful for dogs and dangerously result in the dog biting the owner’s face, they warned Newsweek....

On Wednesday morning, Bruce Savage, from Mount Pleasant, was walking his terrier, Hanna, around a pond located in his neighborhood when he lost sight of his pet. Savage told local station WCIV that after noticing that Hanna was no longer next to him, he saw that the dog had been taken by an alligator, explaining that in that moment “literally, my whole system shut down.” “My ears shut down. I couldn’t hear anything, except for myself screaming my dog’s name....

The reality television star—real name Duane Chapman—had been leading a high-profile search for the 23-year-old fugitive for the past month, but some experts worry that he may inhibit law enforcement by intervening. “He sounds like he’s going out there trying to dig around for information that could, at times, sabotage what law enforcement is doing,” Matthew Young, a former FBI special agent of 20 years, told The New York Post....

Laundrie, 24, vanished shortly before his fiancée Gabby Petito was found dead on September 19. Reality TV personality Dog, whose real name is Duane Chapman, said on Thursday that he felt “real good” about how his hunt was going and expected to close in on Laundrie imminently. Chapman has also contracted a private search and rescue K-9 team to aid in his search of an island called Egmont Key, which is off the coast of St....

Canine psychotherapist Walter Dingemanse, of Berkshire in the U.K., downloaded bestiality images involving animals and women, reported Surrey Live. The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) held a tribunal and concluded that Dingemanse can no longer practice. The 35-year-old married surgeon also downloaded child porn and set up a group on the app Kik called “pervy dads.” Dingemanse was arrested in February 2019 and police recovered a hard drive of indecent images of children and animals....

@Laughs_4_All tweeted the video writing, “come on man….throw it.” The video shows what appears to be a young Springer Spaniel eagerly looking up at a statue in the woods, waiting to play fetch. After waiting a couple of seconds, the dog runs to the stick, picks it up and drops it at the foot of statue. The dog then takes a few steps back, stops and looks back up at the statue with its tail wagging, waiting for the stick to be thrown....

Tess Nolan shared a clip of the sweet pup, a Boston terrier who has black and white fur and milky blue eyes, to her account @tessvetnurse on June 30. The footage is overlaid with text that reads: “I adopted Daphne because no one wanted her. “People thought she was weird because of her blue eyes. They though she would have health issues or she would go blind.” The video, which can be watched here, then cuts to Daphne lying on a bed, nuzzling the white sheets....

In a viral video posted on TikTok by @mo_mountain_mutts, the group of dogs can be seen patiently sitting on a doggy day-care bus while Lee, the business owner from Alaska, makes a song up on the spot.

Can Dogs Feel Embarrassed?...

The study, published in the Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal, looked at the relationship between adolescents and their pets. The findings showed that middle school-aged children reported feeling less social isolation if they had a pet, but dogs specifically. “Pets offer unconditional love and although not 100% conflict-free, they are sources of never-ending wonder, nonjudgmental and steadfast companionship, particularly the canine variety,” lead author Linda Charmaraman, PhD, tells Verywell....

In the footage, which was posted to TikTok by an account called MyLabrachildren, we can see a chocolate brown Lab, whose name is Remy, lying in the fluffy bed which is situated on top of a wheeled cart. Two other Labradors—one brown, one blond—are flanking the beds, their leashes attached, as if they are taking their fellow pet for a walk. Text overlaying the clip explains: “They said I should put my dog to sleep....
