A higher level of blood glucose appears to spike how much damage DNA suffers, according to researchers at City of Hope National Medical Center. Too much glucose in the blood also made DNA strands more prone to breaking, and stood in the way of it being repaired. This, the team thinks, could lead to what is known as genomic instability: mutations that are characteristic of the majority of cancers....
The latest numbers drawn were 7, 8, 26, 30 and 39 for the white balls, while the yellow Mega Ball was 17 and the Megaplier was 2x. The latest drawing saw no winners of the top jackpot prize.

Their second prize winning would have been worth $2 million had the winner purchased the Megaplier for an extra $1....

Diverticulosis can occur when the walls of the colon (large intestine) develop weak spots. The weakened areas protrude like little pouches and are called diverticula. People over the age of 50 are more likely to have these outpouchings. Diverticula may not cause any problems, and most people won’t know they have them unless they have a colonoscopy. But in some people, the diverticula can become inflamed and lead to symptoms such as pain, nausea, and fever....

Cardillo posed a question—“Does this look like an appropriate father/son interaction to you?"—alongside a black-and-white photo of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden embracing, as Joe Biden plants a big smooch on the side of Hunter Biden’s face. Within a matter of hours, Cardillo’s tweet racked up thousands of likes and retweets, and more than 60,000 comments. While there was plenty of feedback that, yes, it was an appropriate exchange between the former vice president and his son, some people couldn’t help but make a mockery of Cardillo’s post by sharing memes of instances that have occurred between fathers and their children throughout pop culture....
A description of a future Israeli strike against Baghdad? In fact, it’s already happened. In October 1973, Israel hit Damascus hard to avenge Frog-7 missile attacks by Syria against kibbutzim and farms in the Upper Galilee. (Most Israelis had been evacuated and there were few casualties.) Seventeen years later, with Israel facing two waves of missiles from an Arab enemy, a strike against Iraq seems likely at some point. But it will be a quid pro quo response to Baghdad’s raids, which at the weekend have caused just a handful of injuries, or a far more deadly escalation of the war?...
Travelers may be subject to a mandatory quarantine period after flying to Texas, where new infections have been rising in recent weeks, including Thursday when a record single-day jump of around 11,600 new cases was reported, according to Johns Hopkins University.

MTV, or Music Television, turns 10 years old this week. It has been a stormy decade. From the start, the network drew charges of racism: of the first 750 videos played, fewer than 25 were by black acts. Videos like lothario Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love,” in which identically rouged models slink anonymously, provoked complaints of routine sexism. MTV has also been accused of shrinking young people’s attention spans and killing rock and roll....

In a post shared on TikTok last Wednesday, the dog’s owner, @Maroni_is_resting, filmed the dachshund eating chips from a bag that was left on the sofa, making crunch noises. The video, which has received over 1.5 million views, is accompanied by a caption that reads: “What you find if you follow the crunch.” According to dog health blog, Dog Time, dogs shouldn’t eat chips. While they may be able to safely eat some potato chips, that depends on the amount eaten, and it’s still not good for them....
The clip, shared by TikTok user Beatrice Albino (@bea.albino) from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, showed a stoic dog staring right into the camera as a person yells at it while holding what appeared to be a piece of clothing with a hole in it.

The dog, which police told CBS was a pit bull mix, bit its owner on the head, neck, torso, arms and legs, causing “large wounds” and leaving him hospitalized. Police were in the area responding to a report of a “person with a gun” when they witnessed the attack by the dog on a 41-year-old man just before 1 a.m. The dog was in the park with its family: a mother, father and their two sons, ages 18 and 19....
But Leia the greyhound is the real star. Just like her namesake, Princess Leia, this pup knows how to pose, and has been delighting Twitter with her accidental film recreations. Leia first went viral in a post shared on Wednesday, 30 March, when her owner Pablo shared a photograph of her yawning that eerily resembles a scene from 1988’s Beetlejuice. Directed by Tim Burton, Beetlejuice follows Barbara and Adam Maitland, a young married couple who are killed in a car accident....
