“One of the problems with rising temperatures is how it’s going to affect water management,” said Washington state’s official climatologist, Nicholas Bond. “Simply from an agricultural point of view, generally when it is warmer, the demands of crops for water goes up. At higher temperatures, crops need more to be able to thrive.” Bond told Zenger that rising temperatures were impacting year-round water supply levels by melting the state’s mountain snowpack earlier than in past years....

A side effect that occurs in one percent or more of people taking a specific medication is considered by medical researchers to be caused by that medication.

Severe or annoying side effects are one of the main reasons why people stop taking their medications....

Kambiz Attar Kashani was charged in federal court Friday with conspiring between February 2019 and June 2021 to evade restrictions on trade with Iran, which has been under ongoing U.S. and international sanctions. The complaint against Kashani, brought in federal court in Brooklyn, alleges that he was involved in an “elaborate scheme” spanning companies based in the the United Arab Emirates and Iran. These companies knowingly sought to deliver to the Central Bank of Iran products that include subscriptions to proprietary software, fixed attenuators, power supplies and storage systems, alleges the complaint....

The best-known Arab emirate has long equipped a fleet of ultra-luxury police cars that are in keeping with its uber-wealthy image. (Dubai consistently places among the top 20 nations in Gross Domestic Product per capita.) The latest addition to its lineup of squad cars is a British-made Aston Martin Vantage. It boasts a custom “77” number plate that pays tribute to the seven Arab emirates, and to the number 007, the fictional spy James Bond’s “License to Kill” code number, according to a government statement....

Relax, it's not the latest horror story of athletes gone bad. Coach Mike Krzyzewski on Saturday took his team to the United States Military Academy on a team-building trip. And when at West Point, why not sample the arms that make the Army what it is.

“My brain stays in my head. Your brain, Dick, is melting and goes to your stomach. You are a fart away from disaster,” Duterte said during his speech to the country’s Bureau of Fire Protection on Thursday, the Manila Standard reported. “You are just a fart away.

Mulvaney, who gained more than 8 million TikTok followers after starting her series “Days of Girlhood” where she shared her journey as a transgender woman, faced backlash after speaking with President Joe Biden about trans-related healthcare in America. Shortly after, a TikTok resurfaced of Mulvaney walking around a mall in shorts as she was stared at by strangers. Now she is facing backlash from conservative politicians as well as Jenner, who underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2017....

Early on, “Bee Season” is largely about our young heroine’s ascent to the National Bee. Goldberg writes about the spelling-bee subculture in great, reportorial detail, and about Eliza’s newfound relationship with her father in a crushingly poignant way. But this is by no means a modest book, either in scope or intellect. “Bee Season”–which just topped the monthly Book Sense poll, meaning it’s a book that independent booksellers are dying to sell, sell, sell–evolves into the story of an epically fractured family....

Before he won the Heisman, set the single-game rushing record at Ohio State or was a four-time Pro-Bowler in the NFL, Eddie George was an uncommitted high school recruit taking his first visit to Columbus. And the visit was off to a rocky start. “I have to tell you it wasn’t my best visit,” George told Sporting News. “I went to an all boys school, I was on my break and I wanted to go out and I wanted to see girls — I wanted to see the party life....

There was one pass reception, which he turned into a lovely 14-yard gain. There was a simple handoff he carried off tackle before being stopped a couple yards past scrimmage. Then, he trotted to the safety of the sideline.

It’s important to get the unavoidable caveat out of the way; QPR was dreadful at Old Trafford. Harry Redknapp set out his formation to contain and frustrate, but his team was 3-0 down at halftime, which suggests he is fundamentally incapable of making a team difficult to beat. It was an abomination, but United has been sterile against equally poor outfits in Sunderland and Burnley, and both of those performances were a far cry from the confident and ruthless nature of this display....

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose). With type 2 diabetes, the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or resists insulin. Diabeta is categorized as a sulfonylurea, meaning a drug that works to lower blood sugar by stimulating your pancreas to release insulin—a natural hormone that causes the cells of the body to take up and use glucose....
