Taking to its official TikTok account, Ritz shared a handy hack for cutting slices of cheese with the outside of a Ritz cracker. All you need to do is use the scalloped edge of the cracker like a pizza cutter to make indents into a cheese slice, allowing you to easily pull it into a nicely cut slice. The cheese slice can then be classically sandwiched between two Ritz crackers....

Often, rehabilitation is part of recovery after surgical treatment. Symptoms You may hear a sudden pop and/or feel a sudden shift in your joint at the time of an ACL injury....

In the lawsuit, which was filed on Wednesday, the ACLU, National Immigrant Justice Center, Center for Gender & Refugee Studies and Human Rights First accuse the Trump administration of putting asylum seekers’ lives in danger by forcing them to return to the region they fled. Already, the Trump administration’s “safe third country” deals have seen asylum seekers reaching the U.S.-Mexico border through Guatemala sent back to that nation under the premise that Guatemala is safe enough for them to make their claims there....

The outrage spawns from the expansion of the pipeline ahead of the completion of its evaluation in a study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Now, 750,000 barrels of oil can pass through the line daily in the expansion transporting 180,000 more barrels than before, Energy Transfer executives said this week. The study will lead to whether a permit is reissued by the Corps to allow the line to cross the Missouri River after the permit was taken away following U....

Acupuncturists use small needles to stimulate specific acupuncture points in an attempt to correct the flow of qi and alleviate bodily imbalances to relieve pain and illness. Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. While Western medicine does not support the theories behind acupuncture, the medical community recognizes the potential benefits of using acupuncture to help relieve pain by directly stimulating problematic soft tissues through needle insertion. There is a lack of consistency and generalizability of clinical trials studying acupuncture, but emerging evidence suggests that acupuncture may provide symptom relief for patients suffering from joint pain, especially those with arthritis, specifically osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis....

This article will review what acupuncture is, the potential role of acupuncture for dry eye, and any risks or side effects associated with acupuncture. What Is Acupuncture?

Two weeks later, top McCain strategist Steve Schmidt added another similarity to the list: they’re both “flip-floppers. " Now the McCain camp is taking the Kerry analogy one step further–and it may be one step too far. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen–they’re breaking out the windsurfing (see ad above).“Where does Mitt Romney stand?” asks the voiceover. “Whichever way the wind blows.” Kerry, you’ll remember, was fond of the water sport, and Bush’s opposition researchers soon seized on it as a devastating metaphor for his shifting positions, not to mention his effete, highfalutin ways....

Shocking, I know. But if McCain’s latest television ad–the first, we’re told, of the general election campaign–is imparting some other, more revealing bit of biography, I must have missed it. Consider the evidence. The spot, called “624787” (more on that later), opens with an image of the Arizona senator pounding a podium, shot heroically from below. “Keep that faith,” he says. “Keep your courage. Stick together. Stay strong. Do not yield....

Being a character in a video game is something Cole has dreamed of his entire life, especially since video games are more than a hobby for him.

New York’s scores came off a recovered fumbled punt in the end zone and a 61-yard pick-6 by safety Jamal Adams in the fourth quarter after New England had built a sizable lead. “It’s brutal,” Gase told reporters at his postgame press conference when asked about the offense. “It’s one of those things where it’s infuriating. Because you’re watching the defense and special teams play as hard as they can and executing what they’re being asked to and they’re doing it well for the majority of the game, then we’re not holding our end on offense....

“It is a crushing defeat, and I’m really sad about it honestly,” Kinzinger said during his appearance on NBC News’ Meet the Press Sunday. “The Taliban always had a saying: ‘America has the watches but we have the time,’” said the congressman. “I’m proud of the American people for sticking by this mission for 20 years, we actually needed to do it longer.” “The Taliban have outlasted the will of the United States…and we may have to go back now,” he added....

Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told CNN anchor John Berman on Wednesday morning that such a move “frankly reflects so ill on our democracy, on the United States.” “Imagine what people around the world think when we have a president who’s acting like an organized crime figure,” he added. “But this is who Donald Trump is. It’s who he was on his way into the presidency, it will be exactly who he is on his last days of the presidency....
