Michael Eckerman, 37, of Wichita, was arrested on Monday and charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers; obstruction of an official proceeding; and disorderly conduct in the Capitol building, according to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Eckerman is accused of pushing his way to the front of a crowd outside of the crypt in the Capitol building, where he yelled at officers. He allegedly pushed one officer back several feet, causing the officer to fall down a small set of stairs, which allowed rioters to move further inside the building, according to court documents....

But the data is not so clear-cut. Although medical cannabis can offer users relief, there is no evidence to suggest that smoking weed protects people from COVID-19 infection. Rather, two compounds not usually found in cannabis products humans use—cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA)—were the stars of this research. “CBDA and the CBGA, which we found to be active in our study, are heat-sensitive,” Richard van Breemen, PhD, professor of pharmaceutical sciences at Oregon State University and lead study author, told Verywell....

On paper, of course, Enrique will soon be in possession of arguably the greatest all-South American front three the game has seen since Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho inspired Brazil to World Cup glory in 2002. However, as we are so often told, games are not won on paper. Argentina’s goalscoring problems at this summer’s tournament prove as much. The Albiceleste have reached the final but they have managed just eight goals in six games – despite being in a position to field a front line containing Messi, Gonzalo Higuain and Sergio Aguero/Ezequiel Lavezzi....

In a letter directed to BCCI Chief Shashank Manohar, Gupta said, “A standard cricket field requires close to 80,000 to 1,00,000 litres per application. Considering the current state of affairs in Maharashtra, it is unethical to fulfil these demands. 90 lakh farmers have been affected in the drought, with the Vidarbha region being the worse affected.” In his statement, Gupta also added that close to 3,00,000 litres of water will be required per week to meet stadium requirements....

That Croatia equalised was little surprise given how resilient and clinical the 2018 semifinalists can be, but a dreadful penalty-shootout showing seemed a cruel way for Japan to go out after beating Germany and Spain and holding a far more experienced team across two tense hours of knockout action. Teams have tried a variety of tactics over the decades to avoid slipping out via spot-kicks, with a change of goalkeeper producing mixed results for coaches summoning a switch between the sticks....

However, Dutch football is slowly on the rise again as a number of impressive players are emerging from the nation. This has improved the squad significantly and shown capabilities to achieve greater things in world football. To start with, the Netherlands possesses one of the best defenders in the world in the form of Virgil van Dijk. The Liverpool man is also the team’s captain and with the kind of potential he possesses, the Dutch can be assured of a water-tight defense for a few more years....

Sergio Ramos will have been less enthused by the news, as the use of Video Assistant Referees in Russia this summer – and hopefully beyond – will make it far more difficult for the Spain international to continue with the thuggery that has characterised his career. Whatever one thinks about the fall which ended Mohamed Salah’s participation in last month’s Champions League final , the mere fact that Ramos was involved was enough to cast doubt over whether the tangle of arms was intentional....

Where they’re heading The Timberwolves are diving headlong into the gauntlet of the Western Conference playoff race, and that’s not an easy place to be—it is likely that around five other teams (Portland, LA Lakers, New Orleans, Dallas, Sacramento) will be competing for the final playoff position. Still, Minnesota has the talent to break through and earn a postseason spot for the first time since 2004, and it starts with All-Star power forward Kevin Love....

Eventually, we were reassured that we didn’t have to worry too much about surface transmission with COVID—but that’s not necessarily the case with mpox. Since the mpox virus is spread mainly through close skin-to-skin contact, people are worried that they could also catch it if they touch something an infected person touched. Before you reach for the Lysol, know that experts say that mass mpox contamination through commonly touched surfaces is not a concern right now....

Internal shingles still causes pain and itching—just without the rash—along with other symptoms. Because healthcare providers may not recognize it as a shingles infection, ZSH infections may be more common than previously thought. This article explores the differences in symptoms, the additional complications ZSH can cause, how it’s diagnosed and treated, and how you can cope with it. Why Two Types of Shingles? Most people are infected with VZV at some point....

Does anyone know of any good business name generators that actually find/generate good names, rather than add a few letters before/after a word? If not, can you suggest any names for us? It’s a naturopathy business, i.e. a system of alternative medicine based on the theory that diseases can be treated or prevented without drugs by techniques such as diet. The approach my friend wants to take the approach of helping groups, rather than individuals....

In this blog, we’ll discuss why Apple denied installation of Windows on Mac using Boot Camp and you will also learn how to install Windows on an Apple Silicon Mac using virtualization software Why Can’t You Directly Install Windows Using Boot Camp On Apple Silicon Mac? After years of hard work, Apple successfully transitioned from Intel chips to custom ARM-based chips similar to the A-series chips used in the iPhone/iPad....

Some researchers suggest that emojis may provide new routes for patients to articulate pain, especially for people whose medical complications or language barriers impede their ability to voice distress. For example, people experiencing a stroke may have aphasia, which inhibits their ability to communicate and process numbers. Shuhan He, MD, who led a study on the success of using an emoji pain scale in a hospital, is developing new emojis for medical use....

After a week-long drive across Canada a huge “Freedom Convoy” of big rigs arrived in Ottawa late on Friday afternoon, blocking roads and causing chaos in Canada’s capital. Truckers are protesting a vaccine mandate for the industry brought in by Trudeau, whereby truckers will have to be vaccinated to cross the Canadian-U.S. border. Under the measures, which were implemented on January 15, unvaccinated cross-border truckers have to quarantine when returning home....

That first-place slot is up for grabs as Canada takes on Costa Rica in the final group stage match, with both teams already into the knockout round with two victories in two games. Both teams have scored seven goals in the process and not yet conceded a single time, so there’s little to separate the two as of yet. There’s real stakes to winning Group B. The winner of this match is likely to avoid the top-ranked United States in the semifinals, with the loser likely to draw Vlatko Andonovski’s powerhouse side before reaching the finals....

Girard becomes the first Canadian Olympic champion in weightlifting and the first Canadian to win two Olympic medals in the sport thanks to failed doping tests by her opponents. She won the bronze medal in London in the 63-kilogram event. Girard was upgraded to gold after Maiya Maneza of Kazakhstan and Svetlana Tsarukaeva of Russia were stripped of their medals after retests of urine samples were positive for a banned substance....

As it turns out, Volition has decided to release the .iso file of Saints Row: Undercover online, handing it over to cancelled game gurus Unseen64 shortly after the game’s beta was revealed.

If the cancer cells begin to resist the chemotherapy drugs and their effects, your doctor will change your treatment plan and the drugs you’re taking. You might be told that the chemotherapy failed or that your tumor is now chemorefractory, but other chemotherapy drugs or other types of treatment may still work.Drug resistance is one of the main causes of cancer treatment failure. It can lead to recurrence or relapse of cancer or death....
