On Thursday, The Intercept’s Lee Fang first reported that the company promoted the controversial feature during an internal presentation on Wednesday focusing on the Workplace platform, a product that allows office collaboration and communication in a manner similar to the popular and competing Slack platform. The presentation reportedly touted the “benefits” of “content control,” including the ability to blacklist certain words that employers concerned with their bottom line might want to exclude....

A Zogby Analytics poll published on January 24 found that pluralities of African Americans, Hispanics and suburban women did not think they were better off now than when Biden took office. Those three groups are widely regarded as key demographics in winning elections and the president’s party is facing a potentially tough fight to retain control of Congress in the November midterms. The Zogby Analytics poll found that 44 percent of respondents said their lives were worse off, while 30 percent said they were better off and 27 percent said their lives were the same....

New Bayern Munich signing Sadio Mane took home the award for 2022 edging out former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah and Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. Mane also took out African Footballer of the Year in 2019 when the award was last handed out having finished runner-up to Salah in 2018 and 2017. The honour is now judged based on accomplishments over the past season rather than a single calendar year....

However, up until Tuesday night, the 35-year-old defenseman never received a fighting major. MORE: NHL Rumor Roundup: Jack Johnson adds to growing defenseman market with trade request While not exactly on his to-do list, Greene checked that box when he and Islanders center Brock Nelson dropped the gloves at the close of the first period at the Barclays Center following a battle in front of the Devils net. “I think one every 750 games or so is good,” Greene joked with reporters after the Devils 4-1 victory....

Elliott was runner-up in two segments of the Sprint Showdown — a win in either would have locked him into the field — including through an epic battle in the final lap overall. MORE: Drivers to watch in All-Star race | Bayne, Biffle, Larson advance His car banged up, his fans pumped by the style of racing he brought to that final 10-lap shootout, Elliott was almost immediately announced as the winner of the Sprint Fan Vote and, therefore, a berth in the race after all....

Clearly, it’s not, because Prescott, once again, had Amari Cooper. The days of the Cowboys pretending Prescott and the offense could function smoothly without anyone even resembling a No. 1, ace, go-to receiver are over. Coincidentally, so is the NFC East race. Dallas’ 29-23 win over Philadelphia — on the tip-drill, game-winning touchdown catch by Cooper, his third score of the game — all but wrapped it up. It was the Cowboys’ fifth straight win, including two over the Eagles and another, a rematch, over the then-division leader Washington on Thanksgiving....

Consider the looming gubernatorial race in California. Speaking to a crowd at the Women’s March in Los Angeles last year, Caitlyn Jenner recanted support for then-president Donald Trump, saying it was a “mistake” to support him. “I cannot support anyone who is working against our community. I do not support Trump,” Jenner said. “I must learn from my mistakes and move forward.” It was not the first time. “Sadly, I was wrong....

As a result of Biden’s approach, states have been left to introduce public option legislation themselves, in the process taking on some of the nation’s largest and most politically organized businesses. From coast to coast, health insurance companies, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies are using every tactic at their disposal to block states from passing public option legislation. Such efforts show how determined the industry is to block any sort of reform that threatens its massive profits....

Puig has to go, and not just because he was involved in another off-the-field incident – a bad one at that. According to reports, Puig started a fight with a bouncer in a Miami nightclub after shoving his sister around, though Miami police say they were not told of any violence between Puig and his sister. Police deemed the incident “mutual combat” between the bouncer and Puig that won’t result in charges being filed....

The discussion between the two presidents represents high stakes diplomacy, as the future of Ukraine as an independent nation may hang in the balance and it remains unclear if the U.S. can deter Russian action. The meeting also comes less than four months after the final withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan on August 31 and the Taliban takeover of the country. The Biden administration was strongly criticized for the way in which the troop drawdown was handled and will be keen to avoid another perceived foreign policy failure....

Democratic luminaries like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former president Barack Obama are seen in the advertisement saying that people have to “put country before party.” “That’s just what Jeff Van Drew did,” says the commercial, “standing by President Trump rather than participate in a sham impeachment. It takes guts to stand up for what’s right, even when the mob rises against you.” Newsweek reached out to the CDP but did not receive a response in time for publication....

Despite having been lauded as one of the best Malaysian prospects in the Malaysia Super League this season, Selangor winger Syahmi Safari had a comparatively underwhelming outing during the recent SEA Games. He struggled to make his mark in Datuk Ong Kim Swee’s squad which eventually finished runners up, starting only in two matches and mostly used as a late substitution. In a video interview published by the club, the 19-year old admitted his disappointment with the outing, but said that he has turned his attention back to club football....

With that death-defiant credo, Tom Shearer and Beowulf Thorne launched Diseased Pariah News, an irreverent desk-top quarterly that claims to be the world’s first and only humor magazine about AIDS. Just 30 pages long, the San Francisco-based periodical swiftly sold out its initial printing of 200 copies, requiring a run of 1,100 more. Issue number two, out last week, is selling well and has mail-order subscribers from as far off as Alabama....

The first report, scheduled for publication in this week’s New England Journal of Medicine, involves two young children living in the same foster home in New Jersey. (Researchers aren’t divulging the kids’ sexes or exact ages but refer to them as girls for convenience.) Though both were born to HIV-infected mothers, only one (the older of the two) was infected at birth. Eighteen months ago, when the younger one developed swollen glands and a fever, doctors at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey discovered that she was infected....

Judge Aileen Cannon granted the former president’s request on Monday for a special master to be brought in to determine if any of the materials are protected by attorney-client privilege or executive privilege. Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by Trump, also temporarily halted the Department of Justice (DOJ) from using any of the materials seized from Trump’s Florida home as part of the criminal investigation into allegations the former president mishandled classified and top-secret documents, until the special-master review is complete....

As per reports, this successful journey under their Indian coach will be made into a Bollywood movie titled ‘Zero to Hero’ starring none other than Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn in the lead. This comes at a time when the future of I-League champions remains unclear due to recent news about omission of the champions from the top tier of Indian football. Aizawl FC protests over uncertain future According to Aizawl FC owner Robert Romawia Royte, Ajay Devgn will be playing the lead role of Jamil in the movie....

After some near-misses — including another defeat to Malmo at the same stage last season — a 3-2 aggregate win against the odds versus PSV gave Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side a place in the competition he won as a player with Barcelona in 2006. A trip to four-time champions Ajax looks an onerous challenge as Rangers aim to improve on a record of one win in their past 16 group-stage matches, a run that includes nine defeats....

Ajovy works by counteracting the action of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a chemical in the body that is elevated during migraine attacks. Several medications that work the same way as Ajovy have been approved for use in recent years. Uses Ajovy was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2018 for preventive treatment of migraines in adults. Migraines are intense, debilitating headaches characterized by throbbing or pulsing head pain, shoulder pain, nausea, dizziness, photophobia (aversion to light), and other symptoms....

Larger pearls don’t necessarily mean that the pearls are more valuable. The type and quality of the pearl are also important factors. Akoya pearls that aren’t perfectly round are still valuable, but they won’t receive the highest grade. You can’t go off of color alone to tell the difference between Akoya and freshwater pearls because both types are often bleached to make them whiter. Lab testing can reveal whether or not your pearls have been bleached....
