That record alone is enough to illustrate the pedigree and quality Brazil currently boast ahead of the 2022 World Cup. Despite their track record as five-time World Cup winners, Brazil haven’t won the trophy since 2002. Since then, the Selecao have underwhelmed, with their best performance in the last two decades coming in 2014 when they reached the semi-finals....

“More people are saying that breastfeeding might be very good because there’s more evidence that it doesn’t transmit the virus, but it does transmit antibodies,” Peter Gulick, DO, professor of medicine and an infectious disease expert at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, tells Verywell. Mothers with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies may be able to transmit those antibodies through breast milk. Vaccinations can further enhance antibody levels and may provide temporary protection for babies through human milk....

Despite the recent lull in the fighting, Macedonia is unraveling. In many ways it’s a wonder it hasn’t happened sooner. Unlike Bosnia, where Muslims, Serbs and Croats lived and worked together and even intermarried, the Slavs and Albanians of Macedonia have always coexisted separately and uneasily. The Albanians, making up about a third of the country, are persecuted in myriad ways (their unemployment rate is a staggering 60 percent, twice that of the Slavs; the Army and police top brass are all Slavs; access to education is highly inequitable)....

“It’s essentially two loops that are running out of sync with each other and projected on the top of one another,” he says. “This is what I was doing in music at the time. [The score] was exactly like the film, where it was one loop superimposed on another, two loops not of commensurable length so they don’t fit together in the same way. They keep generating different clusters.” The music, sort of a fractured calliope tune, has most of the elements that have characterized Eno’s long career as a self-described “non-musician” ever since: simplicity, repetition, randomness and fascination with technology plus a willingness to try anything....

From a “petty” mother-in-law showing up in a white dress, to “out of line” jokes in the best man’s speech, with so many personalities in one place, you just can’t predict how the big day will go. Still, one guest’s pre-wedding food complaint put a bride on edge before her ceremony had even begun.

The issue came to the fore this week on Mumsnet after a bride-to-be, writing as scj96, voiced anger at the fact that her Maid of Honor had failed to lose weight ahead of her wedding day.

When I came in we were determined to normalize relations with the People’s Republic of China. President Bush did a good job. He was familiar with China and pursued that sensitive interrelationship with sound judgment....
