The 27-year-old forward who has scored five times in the Turkish Super Lig this season couldn’t hold his excitement after meeting the former Barcelona and Inter Milan player who has won the African Player of the year four times.

Academic medicine refers to a multifaceted clinical approach that combines things like research, education, and exploration of new technologies into a person’s treatment. It includes refining substance use treatment, offering more specific training for physicians, combatting stigmas around addiction and substance use, and removing policies that bar patients from care.

The Savior In the West, we have a bad habit of trying to write Russians’ history for them. The question we should ask is, “What is Putin’s legacy as Russians see it?” Here’s how I think their historians will write it. Putin cannot possibly be evaluated apart from the first post-Soviet decade. For nearly three quarters of Russians, the 1990s meant the collapse of their state and standard of living....

“Due to the significance of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission, this guidance further reinforces the need to test asymptomatic persons, including close contacts of a person with documented SARS-CoV-2 infection,” the updated testing guidelines say. The shift in testing protocols prompted concern from scientists and public health officials. Widespread testing of both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals has been a cornerstone of the pandemic’s containment efforts. “This walk back is a threat to public health and the gains we’ve made,” William Li, MD, a physician scientist in Cambridge, Massachusetts, tells Verywell....

As fans go back to experience the entire Compilation of Final Fantasy 7, either as a nostalgia trip or a first-time experience, the age of some of the games is evident. FF7 was originally released more than a decade and a half ago after all. As many games needed to do back then, many of the game’s newer features (at the time) needed to be explained. It can often be difficult to outline the mechanics that exist only in video games....

There are several spin-off games in the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise, and those spark constant debate in the fanbase about each side game’s place in the timeline. Some fans have formed detailed timelines, mapping out every piece of lore and when it originated. So, while many fans don’t agree on the true Fazbear Pizza timeline, the main series games are the only ones considered canon by creator Scott Cawthon and other developers, and these games have fairly straightforward time stamps....

According to tradition, players did not play a tie-break in the final set of a match. A difference of two games was required in the deciding set, while a tie-break was played in any of the earlier sets upon reaching the score of 6-all. However, with new rules coming in to shorten the length of the game and to reduce the stress and intensity of a long match on the players, a tie-break in the final set has also been introduced....

Was this the best World Cup final ever? Too limiting. Was this the best World Cup game ever? Same problem. Was this the best soccer game ever? Or maybe even the best game in any sport humans play? That’s where one must carry this discussion after Argentina and France tied through 120 minutes of soccer at 3-3 and the Argentines claimed the trophy with a 4-2 edge in a penalty kick shootout to end the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar....

Is it a tribute to Ronaldinho? Nope. A twist on Thierry Henry’s ‘wazzup’ celebration? Wrong again. In fact, Griezmann is actually paying tribute to the dance move in Drake’s Hotline Bling track. “I’ve been doing it when I score for Atletico and I should have done it when I scored against Albania, but the emotion was too much and I forgot about it,” the forward said before his two goals fired France past Germany and into the Euro 2016 final....

Researchers were in a unique position to study this phenomenon, since they had already been following students a year before the pandemic was officially declared in the U.S. When March 2020 forced people indoors, they saw a near-doubling of depression scores—from 32% to 61%. Looking a little closer, they found that those most vulnerable for developing depression had not maintained previous physical activity levels. “Before the pandemic, people were walking about 10,000 steps per day, which is the recommended guideline,” Silvia Saccardo, PhD, study author and professor in the department of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, tells Verywell....
