And yet, even amid a spectacular run of success, Warriors general manager Bob Myers was still chasing another team: the Spurs. MORE: Damian Lillard says he’s staying in Portland — for now “They are a model franchise,” Myers told USA Today’s Sam Amick at the time. “We are all trying to emulate them.” Both Myers and Golden State owner Joe Lacob have spoken glowingly about the San Antonio blueprint. The Spurs made 22 straight playoff appearances from 1997-98 through 2018-19, winning five titles in that span....

From business and innovation circles being energised by brands like Tesla and figureheads like Elon Musk, to activist groups being inspired by high profile events like Extinction Rebellion protests in London, to Great Thunberg being feted by world leaders, green issues are now leading not only the news but some of our purchasing decisions. The new spirit of being green has even cracked that hardest of nuts - Christmas. Despite its religious roots, the festive period has become the time of year when we consume most unapologetically and perhaps even unthinkingly....

What Is Epinephrine? Another name for epinephrine is adrenaline and it is a hormone that is produced by your adrenal glands. You can’t live without it. This is why it seems odd that rarely an individual can experience an allergic reaction when given epinephrine as a medication. Epinephrine is released from your adrenal glands in response to stress and is responsible for the “fight or flight” phenomenon. It has several effects on the body including making your heart rate faster and boosting the oxygen and nutrient supply to your skeletal muscles and your brain so that you can run away from danger....

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that fills them with fluid. If the air sacs in the lungs (called alveoli) fill up with fluids, it’s harder for them to do their job of transferring oxygen into the blood and getting rid of carbon dioxide that’s built up in the body. Pneumonia may develop after you come down with a virus like a cold or flu, or it can happen without any previous illness....

We need to have two main shareable folders for our school - Dropboxes Teachers Permissions: Inside the Dropboxes folder each teacher should have a folder under their name and full access. Students Permissions: Student can access each teacher’s folder and sub folders, but they should not able to see the other documents inside that folder. Even if they can see but they should not able to read the document, and we have to prevent overwriting as well....

What Data Is Stored in NFTs? NFTs are not just digital photos or videos. Rather, they are tokens that prove ownership of a digital artwork. So, a given NFT will not contain the image or video file of the artwork being purchased. Rather, NFTs are more similar to typical cryptocurrencies (though they are non-fungible). Within a given NFT, you’ll find metadata, which essentially provides information on other data. Examples of NFT metadata include the NFT’s name, description, and transactional history....

In the image shared to the Rare Encounters Photography group on Facebook, photographer Jeremy Ginn asked people if they could spot a snake among the leaves and fallen branches in a swampy area of Hampton County. Ginn told Newsweek: “As you can see in the photo, copperheads are well camouflaged in leaf litter. As a defensive measure, this species tends to freeze into place, relying on this camouflage to not be seen....

Following the September 8 death of Queen Elizabeth II, detractors have spoken out about the global impact of British imperialism. They have also demanded the return of “stolen” precious jewels to former colonies. Following the “Scramble for Africa” in the 1880s, Britain came to control an estimated 30 percent of the continent’s population, and a number of African kingdoms were destroyed. Scholars also argue that many nations in Africa and around the world continue to endure the malign effects of colonialism....

This will be the second time Canelo and GGG meet in the center of the ring. The first time, Sept. 16, 2017, they fought to a draw. Well, don’t expect there to be a draw this time around. Only one of these guys will leave the ring victorious. With so many belts on the line, these two will give more than 100 percent. That they’ve already experienced each other, there will not be any surprises....

Until Friday, Canseco had not been back to the Coliseum since his playing days ended and he wrote his infamous book that alleged rampant use of performance-enhancing drugs throughout baseball. He had no idea how his former teammates, coaches and fans would receive him — or if they would receive him at all. “I’m kind of putting myself out there in the most vulnerable state possible,” said the 50-year-old Canseco, who was still looking big and buff in his white A’s jersey....

The Canucks used the No. 80 overall pick to draft Swedish defenseman Elias Pettersson, giving them two players with the same exact name in their organization. The 2022 draft pick joins Vancouver, who already has star center Elias Pettersson on their roster. The two are completely different players. While the Petterrson currently in the NHL is a highly-skilled, dynamic center, the one that was just drafted is a physical, two-way defenseman....

Four people died—including one woman who was shot—in a day of violence which saw supporters of President Donald Trump storm the Capitol Building to stop the confirmation of President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral votes. Protesters, some armed, clashed with Capitol police as they tried to break into the premises during a joint session of Congress, which was temporarily suspended and its members put on lockdown before National Guard troops were dispatched to secure the area....

Bauer, who owns and operates a pizzeria in Pennsylvania, was in court to potentially receive a pre-trial release from jail, should she agree to follow the conditions set forward by the court. She had previously been denied a release a week prior by Donald Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, who expressed concern that she would not comply with the release conditions. On Friday, Bauer began by giving a statement that, according to Law & Crime, suggested phrasing reminiscent of the “sovereign citizen” movement....

The Gravette, Arkansas native had previously been denied bond and was jailed for four months on eight federal charges stemming from the U.S. Capitol riot. Barnett was photographed allegedly stealing Pelosi’s mail and placing his feet on her desk as other pro-Trump supporters ransacked the office. Barnett’s attorneys are now asking that he receive more freedom to travel in order to attend the 63rd Annual Petit Jean Show and Swap Meet in Arkansas....

In a motion filed with the U.S. District Court District of Columbia on Friday, Barnett’s defense attorneys Joseph D. McBride and Steven A. Metcalf accused the federal government of misquoting the defendant in a note that he had left in Pelosi’s office on January 6. “Hey Nancy Bigo was here Biatd,” the note read. In a footnote, the defense attorneys said that “the ’d’ was meant to be two letters, ‘c’ and ‘h’ with the ‘c’ connected to an ‘h’ to spell the word ‘biatch’ which is a slang and less offensive word for ‘b**ch....

Caplyta is in a drug class called atypical antipsychotics, or second-generation antipsychotics. Second-generation antipsychotics have fewer side effects than older or first-generation antipsychotics. The exact way Caplyta works is not entirely understood, but it is thought to act on dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain. What Is Caplyta Used For? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Caplyta to treat adults with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a condition that affects a person’s ability to behave, think, and feel clearly....
