Again and again, the U.S. has asked its allies, friends and its enemies for the same things. Again and again, those allies, friends and enemies have said the same things in response. Few minds are likely to change at this late stage. In the case of Iraq, the United States is more than ready to use military force. That may well prove the most effective way to change international opinion about the war in Iraq–provided the war is swift and smooth....

Rufo. The document states that the recent killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other Black Americans are “part of a long history of systemic racism and transphobia.” The documents also cover such topics as “white privilege,” “white fragility,” “white saviors,” “microaggressions” and “antiracism,” Rufo wrote....

Physicians have many ways of describing levels of consciousness and how it has changed in a patient. An older way of describing consciousness was to use terms like “clouded consciousness, obtundation, stupor” and “coma,” each signifying a progressively more severe state....

In recent history, one-party rule over the White House and both houses of Congress has been the exception, while split partisan authority remains very much the norm....

But where did this saying come from? Cats started living alongside humans in the Near East during the Neolithic period, around 10,000 years ago. It is thought the departure from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a farming one was beneficial to these ancient cats. As humans farmed and stored food, they attracted common prey for cats, such as mice and rats. The relationship between human and cat became beneficial for both species—humans were providing food for the cats, and cats were stopping rodents from raiding human food stores....

In recent years, the increased use of pneumonia vaccines, particularly among older people, has led to an 8% reduction in the numbers of deaths since 1999. With that being said, only around 65% of those at high risk have been properly vaccinated.

The lab study evaluated and compared the strength of antibody response in people who were fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine and in people who received a Pfizer booster after one month and four months, respectively.

Four months after a booster, the titer levels had declined but remained more protective against the variant than only having two doses....
