As of November 24, Trump was 20,608 popular votes behind his Democratic competitor, President-elect Joe Biden, in the state. Last Wednesday, the Trump campaign formally requested a recount in the two counties, both of which are historically Democratic-leaning....

For many expectant moms, the strain of motherhood goes beyond the physical pain.

The 33-year-old endured a somewhat difficult start to the 2017-18 campaign, but really sprung to life in the second half of the season as he guided Madrid to the Champions League final with a string of sublime performances.

But when Zoom birthdays and holidays just don’t fit the bill, some nursing homes have tried to give their residents a little taste of normalcy through the creation of “hug rooms.” The Domenico Sartor home near Venice has placed a special anti-contagion curtain in one room to create a stanza degli abbracci, The Independent reports. Here, residents can visit with loved ones and through the special clear curtain embrace them....

What happened next-how Barbara Olson, the feisty conservative author and TV pundit, informed her husband that her plane too was being hijacked-has become one of the multitude of harrowing stories that surround the events of Sept. 11.

Hamsik confirmed on Sunday that he is mulling over an offer from an unnamed CSL club, reported to be Shandong Luneng, after he helped Napoli mount a genuine Serie A title challenge to eventual champions Juventus.

There is one more sign that I did in fact have my first session of seizure therapy: I feel good–I feel alive. Michael is standing there next to the nurse as I struggle to keep my eyes open, and I give him a big grin. That surprises him right away. As we head home to Brookline, I remember that it is our anniversary. Our 38th. I turn to Michael and say, “Let’s go out for dinner tonight!...

Four months after his A-League debut in the Wanderers’ 4-0 derby loss to Sydney FC at ANZ Stadium, Jumpei believes he is getting used to Australian football and what Western Sydney coach Tony Popovic expects of him. The 29-year-old has at times been the personification of the Red-and-Black’s attacking woes this season, with the Japanese winger’s impressive build-up play providing a stark contrast to a perceived lack of cutting edge....

Salah worth the wait for Liverpool The striker moved to Stamford Bridge from Marseille in July for a deal in excess of £30million after impressing in Ligue 1 with 17 league goals in the 2015-16 season. Diego Costa’s return to form for Chelsea meant Batshuayi’s chances were limited last term, though, starting just once in the Premier League all season.

My family and I had been going to the beach in North Carolina a lot at that point in time and sharks weren’t even a thought in my mind. What I was actually scared of was rip currents. I was talking to my sister and her friend that day, June 2, saying how crazy it would be if we got caught by a rip current. We didn’t know that something way crazier was about to happen....

As a millennial, I come from a time where most of what I learned about beauty came from my mother. She had a system, and I loved it, but I was 13 and she was 36. I wasn’t able to see what people my age were doing. I wasn’t able to see these beauty trends. Then, as I became a teenager, the internet began to take over, with the invention of YouTube....

I felt really awkward about it but comments happened more and more often, and then, my mom saw an advert in a newspaper for lookalikes wanted for a TV show.

She had met a person through an online dating app and later found out that he had lied about his name and various bits of information.

By searching this unusual name and looking through his family photographs, I was able to identify the real person behind the scam....

What was missing for me, where gynecology and therapy fell short, was that I gained no understanding of how my emotional relationship with my husband affected my physical relationship with him. I was still left wondering how a healthy, educated, self-aware young woman who loved her husband had inexplicably lost her sex drive. This set me on a lifelong path of exploring the true nature of sexuality. My extensive exploration included reading and researching the fields of psychology, neuroscience, meditation, and mysticism....

I can remember watching Jake Gibb play in the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) beach volleyball league and compete in the Olympics when I was a kid. We actually became partners in 2017 through a mutual coach; Tyler Hildebrand. When Jake was considering retiring, Tyler suggested he aim for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 and partner with me. We met at Tyler’s house to go over our goals and see if they were aligned....
