What Is Advanced Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder? Advanced sleep-wake phase disorder is a circadian rhythm disorder that causes someone to go to sleep earlier in the evening and wake earlier in the morning, compared to most people. This advance is typically two or more hours prior to the required or desired sleep times. For example, someone who desires to sleep from 10 PM to 6 AM may fall asleep by 8 PM and wake by 4 AM....

Oftentimes in wrestling, the last impression is the lasting one. All Elite Wrestling’s “Revolution” event on Sunday night (mostly) delivered fireworks, but it was what happened after the main event that left fans with a sour taste. After a brutal and bloody exploding barbed wire deathmatch (yes, really) between Jon Moxley and AEW champion Kenny Omega, the ring was set to “explode,” but the final effect was nothing more than a Fourth of July showing at your uncle’s place....

Gaffer Stephen Constantine has also shortlisted 28 players who would be taking part in a preparatory camp to be held at Utorda from 5th November, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) has informed the clubs in a letter sent on Monday. Kerala Blasters striker CK Vineeth is the most notable absentee from the list while Pronay Halder is back in the national team set-up after a prolonged injury lay-off....

The Mariners know that they cannot progress to the Inter-Zonal semifinals with only the group winners progressing. Abahani Dhaka are also out of the tournament, reducing this fixture into a dead rubber. However, a bigger concern throbbing the arteries of the Mariners will be the impending departure of the man at the hridge of the Kolkata juggernaut - Sanjoy Sen. This is widely expected to to be the 2015 I-League winning coach’s last game in charge of a team he’s built and presided over....

The Dhaka side lost to the Mariners in their previous fixture which saw Jeje Lalpekhlua, Balwant Singh and Sony Norde score for the Maroon and Green brigade whereas Jonathan Brown netted the lone goal for his side in a 3-1 result at the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium, Kolkata. Head coach Drago Mamic aims to improve from their last performance and focus on battling the tough Blues. FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017: SAI and AIFF rope in US-based NRI...

With just three points from four games, anything less than a win could very well have seen The Stags crash out of the group stages. But instead, they managed to down Felda United, thanks to an inspired second-half cameo from Khairul Amri that saw the final scoreline read 3-1 in favour of the 2016 quarterfinalists. More importantly, Amri’s two splendid goals late on made sure Tampines Rovers’ chances of progressing to the next stage of the competition was significantly boosted....

In a statement released following a recent visit to Kabul by a WHO team led by Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the agency stressed the urgency of the situation. “The country faces an imminent humanitarian catastrophe,” WHO said in a statement. It added that facilities lack funding to run properly, worsening the situation. “Many of these facilities have now reduced operations or shut down, forcing health providers to make hard decisions on who to save and who to let die,” WHO said and also emphasized “the need for women to maintain access to education, health care, and to the health workforce....

Egypt was unceremoniously turfed out the competition by a resurgent South Africa, while Cameroon lost a chaotic match to bitter rivals Nigeria 3-2. Ghana and Morocco, meanwhile, were removed by penalty shootouts against Tunisia and Benin, respectively. That leaves Senegal and Algeria as the teams to beat, a recognition both teams have justified so far. The Lions of Teranga, one of the pre-tournament favorites alongside Egypt, have won three of their four games so far, scoring six times and conceding just once in the process....

Countries such as North Korea, Afghanistan and Pakistan have long been archetypes of deadly abuse against their beleaguered Christian minorities. But in recent months, dangers to Africa’s Christian believers—and particularly converts from Islam—are swelling exponentially. Examples abound: In recent days a Muslim father in central Uganda hanged his wife and two children because the young mother and oldest child converted to Christianity following Christmas services. Uganda—a country that is 82 percent Christian—is increasingly the site of brutal atrocities against Christian pastors, families and churches....

The only other time came in 2004-05, when Phoenix (from 29 to 62 wins), Chicago (from 23 to 47) and Washington (from 25 to 45) all got themselves turned around in a hurry. But for folks in Charlotte, Phoenix and Portland, it’s worth mentioning what happened to those teams next: All three lost ground the following year, and none made any improvement in their postseason results.

The legal drama is not quite over–the 18 state attorneys general engaged in parallel litigation against Microsoft are still pondering whether to endorse the settlement–but when Assistant Attorney General Charles James signed the agreement at 7 on Friday morning, the four-year case finally seemed on the way to evaporating. Both parties professed satisfaction. “The settlement is fair and reasonable,” said Gates. Attorney General John Ashcroft called it “the right result… a very strong settlement....

The Wildcats wanted every one of them, each as it came, but it was not until they entered the 2015 NCAA Tournament without being beaten that perfection became a cause.

Thanks to good fortune (and with gratitude to my local hospital) I got an initial dose of the coronavirus vaccine on the one-year anniversary of the lockdown. We have run a full lap around the calendar since the last time most of us were able to gather for food and fellowship, worry-free, with family, friends or people we didn’t know. We have all counted the losses from missed events: birthdays, weddings, festivals, Fourth of July celebrations, the county fair, Lenten fish dinners, cheering your favorite team in person with a hot dog and beer....

The Iowa State Fair gave presidential candidates the opportunity to connect with voters in a state that can be key to winning the election. They gave speeches, ventured onto amusement rides and ate corn dogs, ice cream and turkey legs. After the attractions were taken down and the vendors packed up their things, Warren was one of four candidates to see an increase in support among Democrat college students....

His young son, who was hospitalized earlier in the week after getting burned by hot coffee, would be okay. On Tuesday when he explained his son's situation to the media, he alluded to proceeding through the motions of the tournament with a heavy heart. "It just doesn't feel the same without my son, my daughter, my wife who have sacrificed so much to allow me to become a better person and a better basketball coach," Moton said....

The article, published on October 26, interviewed several lesbians who felt “pressured into sex by some trans women.” In the article, the author, Caroline Lowbridge, acknowledged that the subject would be “hugely divisive,” but she said she “wanted to find out how widespread the issue was.” Lowbridge also recognized that it’s difficult to research the true scale of the problem because there has only been one survey into the issue....

On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, I wrote that “Edwards will finish third tonight, and [it] will effectively end his bid for president.” I still agree with that assessment. Now, I didn’t mean that Edwards would drop out of the race; he’s free to keep campaigning as long as he wants (or as long as he can afford it). But losses in Iowa (his all-in, must-win contest) and New Hampshire have made it difficult for him to pick up the momentum necessary to win in later states....

The move comes in the wake of the revelation that 11 employees of the U.S. State Department had been hacked with spyware from Israeli company NSO Group, which has been the subject of several controversies in recent months. Though the Israeli Defense Ministry did not mention NSO Group by name, its announcement came days after the State Department hacking was disclosed, the AP reported. This was the first known time that U....

A meeting of minds between Iran’s Muslim theocrats and Western governments remains no less elusive. But in Teheran, foreign diplomats saw President Hashemi Rafsanjani’s appeal for international relief as a sign Iran wants to end its international isolation. When one Teheran paper published an article declaring that “even under the debris, our nation cries out ‘Death to America’,” Rafsanjani reportedly told the editors to shut up. He also lauded foreign aid as “very reasonable and just”–including $760,000 from the U....
