Breast cancer typically strikes after the age of 50. But of the 200,000 women diagnosed every year, 11,000 are under 40–and their youth isn’t necessarily an advantage. A landmark study published last week by researchers at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that young women tend to be more negatively affected by a breast-cancer diagnosis, both physically and psychologically, than middle-aged or elderly women. For young single women, especially, the emotional effects can be excruciating....

The shooting set off rumors among Khallid’s followers and provoked a ripple of speculation that history might be repeating itself. The gunman, a well-dressed black man, was kicked and beaten by onlookers who shouted that he must be working ““for the Jews.’’ Rescued and arrested by university police, he was identified by police as James Edward Bess, 49, a defrocked Nation of Islam leader from Seattle, Wash. Bess, also known as James X and Brother James X, had a history of violence and a reputation for vitriolic rant....

The first independent survey of local residents to gauge their feelings about the bid found 88 percent support the effort. That number exceeds even the 81 percent support the LA 2024 bid committee has touted in its bid materials, surprising the researchers who conducted the poll.

Es algo que los usuarios han sabido apreciar desde los primeros instantes y desde que la marca aterrizase en nuestro país, presentando teléfonos sumamente interesantes con múltiples cámaras y características novedosas como el hecho de utilizar pantallas con gran frecuencia de refresco a precios muy competitivos. Aunque la conexión entre ambas compañías no es tan evidente como en otras marcas, Realme opera como una filial del gigante tecnológico chino y, como tal, puede aprovechar gran parte de la infraestructura de ingeniería y distribución para sus nuevos terminales....

11 AM to 7 PM is a popular window, but pick the one that works for you. Try to time it so you eat at the times you’re most hungry. With time-restricted fasting, you can follow a fasting schedule every day or only a few days per week. Since you’re trying to lose weight, it’s best to do it more often, at least a few days a week. Some people will skip breakfast and have a small eating window between lunch and dinner....

Today, just four years later, high-definition television has become an example not of Japanese dominance but of a remarkable comeback by American firms in a wide range of high-tech industries such as computers, microprocessors and telecommunications. At the same time, HDTV stands as testimony to the occasional fallibility of a ,Japanese system of industrial development that, as the ’90s began, seemed rarely to misfire. More than anything, it proves that in business, as in anything else, things change, and sometimes radically....

India’s much-vaunted batting was dismissed for its seventh lowest ODI total – 92 in 30.5 overs in the fourth ODI as New Zealand tasted success in the five-ODI series for the first time after already conceding the rubber. “If you look at the cricket we have been playing in the last few months, we have played good cricket and such matches come after some time. So it is a kind of reality check what we can do and improve in the next matches,” Bhuvneshwar said....

First, the W0x2 error has surged on Sunday in Lost Ark and players have no idea what it is or how they can fix it. Players open Lost Ark to try and start playing or join their server’s wait queue only to receive the message “Cannot Connect to the server. Exiting the game. [W0x2-0PELPWN1N2NT]” before their server list even loads. Restarting the game doesn’t appear to fix the problem, either....

What inspires the hoopla is the fascination with the new and the spectacle of massive companies (Bell Atlantic, Time Warner, Viacom) frantically maneuvering, through mergers and joint ventures, to prepare for a future they only dimly perceive. We in the press contribute to the illusion, because our technology writers (bless them) are wild enthusiasts whose excursions into “cyberspace” exaggerate its importance. To take one example: computer on-line services are booming; but the total subscribers of the top four services (about 3 million) roughly equal NEWSWEEK’S circulation (3....

To understand the answers to these questions, it is crucial to understand the story that the Lord of the Rings movies are telling. The story, in this case, is a bit darker than the books’ version, but still has mostly the same bittersweet ending. The story begins with Frodo being a pretty typical Hobbit in the Shire, except for the fact that he’s Bilbo’s nephew, or whatever they are to each other....

There’s nothing wrong with being either type of actor, though it certainly doesn’t hurt when that fame comes from taking part in a juggernaut franchise like Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling’s horrific transphobia aside). So it’s particularly comforting to hear that one star from another extremely well-known franchise is not only fine with this notion, but is even grateful to be forever tied to such an influential story. Elijah Wood may be more than just Frodo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings, but it turns out he’s cool with the fame of a hobbit....

There are also many far less pleasant races, like the orcs and the goblins and the trolls that plague the lands of middle earth. There are also those who exist in the in-between world, like the Ringwraiths and Gollum and, in many ways, Sauron himself, who have warped and twisted into something other, something evil. They are all, in some way, manifestations of evil or corruption, of those who fall into temptation and reside in the shadows....

Under Ardoin’s plan, voters who have tested positive can request an absentee ballot by reason of hospitalization. Those voters must provide a copy of their state driver’s license or photo identification to the registrar. COVID-19 positive voters have until 8 p.m. on election day to return their ballots. Currently, Louisiana voters over the age of 65, members deployed out of state by military service or those hospitalized are already eligible to receive absentee ballots....

First Press Games is releasing the new game called POWA! to the Game Boy Color. The game is being developed by Aiguanachein.

RELATED: Nintendo Replaced 95 Year Old Grandmother’s Game Boy for Free The gameplay is simplistic in nature, but the levels are designed to have a certain element of challenge, like the old-school Game Boy Color titles....

If you’ve paid even slight attention to the science news pages over the past two years, you already know all about SpaceShipOne. It is among the first manned space ships built by a private company to attempt to breach the ethereal boundary of space. It’s made of a unique lightweight carbon composite, gets hoisted 10 miles into the air by carrier plane White Knight before being dropped, and sports a single-stage rocket burning a hybrid propellant of rubber and laughing gas, which thrusts it into the planet’s atmosphere and treats its pilot to a few minutes of weightlessness....
