What Is Botox? Botox is a botulinum neurotoxin, a poison that affects nerves, manufactured by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. This is the same type of bacteria that causes botulism, a progressive, potentially fatal infection that can lead to muscle paralysis, slurred speech, and droopy eyelids, among other symptoms. When this neurotoxin is delivered via injection, however, its effect is focused, and it isn’t dangerous. In addition, Botox may be indicated for several other medical conditions:...
Cullors’ response to the inquiry so far has been to deflect criticism by accusing skeptics of “anti-Black” sentiment and “right wing” bias. But much of the criticism is coming from liberals—even from those she claims to speak on behalf of. Joining liberal strongholds like California in criticizing BLM are Samaria Rice, the mother of 12-year-old Tamir Rice who was killed by cops while playing with a toy gun, and Lisa Simpson, the mother of 18-year-old Richard Risher shot in Watts....
Rooney bowed out from international football after making his 120th and final appearance as the Three Lions defeated the USMNT 3-0 at Wembley on Thursday. Jesse Lingard, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Callum Wilson all scored for England, but Rooney was denied a goal and a perfect send-off by Guzan and his USMNT team-mates. And Atlanta United shot-stopper Guzan has said he and Rooney - now playing in MLS with D.C. United - exchanged a few words on the pitch and in the tunnel after the match....

A 77-minute hallway surveillance video was leaked from the investigations into the shooting and released by the Austin American-Statesman on July 12, which contained footage showing officers waiting in the Robb Elementary School corridors while the gunman can be heard firing multiple shots.

Data continues to demonstrate benefits from vaccinations–a report published just this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed the rates of death and illness from vaccine-preventable diseases like the mumps, measles and smallpox, have dropped dramatically in the United States since national vaccine recommendations were implemented, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But some parents are still reluctant to get their kids vaccinated over fears of side effects or a possible link to autism (though none has been proven)....
Trump consistently downplayed the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and readily criticized lockdown measures implemented by governors across the country, while disputing the scientific consensus that masks curb the spread of the novel virus. However, the former president put significant government resources behind the so-called Operation Warp Speed initiative to produce and distribute vaccines for the novel virus in record-breaking time. While the U.S. approved two vaccines in December—an unprecedented achievement—the rollout has been slower than promised by Trump administration officials....

A day after Roger Federer’s hopes of a sixth title melted away in a shock loss to 55th-ranked John Millman, the US Open’s extreme heat policy was again in effect, allowing a 10-minute break in both men’s and women’s matches that went beyond straight sets on Tuesday. “I had a shower, lay on the table and I didn’t want to come back again,” third-seeded Argentine Juan Martin del Potro said of how he spent the break in his 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 victory over American John Isner....
On a call with reporters Thursday, USTA chief executive officer Mike Dowse said that a formal decision will not be made until June regarding North America’s Grand Slam. “In one sense we’re very fortunate that we’re the fourth Grand Slam to go, so time is on our side at this point,” Dowse said. “Obviously our ambition is to run the tournament.
