The claims that the disruption was due to staff staging a walkout because they have to take the vaccine has been denied by Southwest Airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA).

Reddit user sLiimFit shared an image of their grandmother’s post-cremation metal hip to the subreddit “Mildly Interesting,” where it attracted more than 125,000 upvotes in just two days. The picture showed a titanium part used in hip replacement operations, left completely unaffected by the high temperatures used to cremate bodies. “I can’t decide whether this is cool and interesting or disturbing,” commented one Reddit user. For families who choose not to keep the metal parts after the cremation, especially gold, most crematoriums have metal recycling schemes with companies such as OrthoMetals....

The image, taken by the Virtual Telescope Project in Europe, shows Apophis as a distant bright dot against a backdrop of stars. The photo was taken using a telescope mounted on a robotic arm. The astronomers used a single 300-second exposure shot to capture the image, seen below. Apophis appears solid while the stars behind it look blurry with trails behind them. This is because the telescope unit was following the motion of Apophis....

“It’s cursed, it’s cursed, people tell me it’s cursed,” he said of the London club’s No. 9 shirt, which appeared to weigh down illustrious names such as Fernando Torres, Gonzalo Higuain, Radamel Falcao and Alvaro Morata before Lukaku became burdened with it. “There was not a big demand for No. 9. Players sometimes want to change numbers but, surprisingly, nobody wants to touch it. Everybody who is longer than me in the club tells me: ‘Ah, you know, he had the nine and he did not score, and he had the nine and did also not score....

Pilot studies are essentially the smaller version of a larger proposed trial conducted over shorter periods of time with a smaller number of participants. They allow researchers to identify any shortcomings in the study design and to work out the kinks that may exist in the study protocol. Pilot studies can also be used in clinical trials to test different drug doses, routes of administration (pills, injection), drug safety, and any barriers that may undermine treatment adherence....

The Pirates also activated shortstop Clint Barmes off the 15-day disabled list and designated infielder Jayson Nix for assignment....

The clip, shared on TikTok on Thursday by the dog’s owner, under the username Heymynamesluna, shows Luna laying on the flower-shaped tree with her left paw and tail hanging down. She asserts dominance over both cats, who can be seen resting in the two lower layers, and they don’t seem pleased. At the same time, the pitbull’s owner can be heard saying: “What in the world is going on here?...

Pit bulls often hit the headlines for the wrong reasons, in cases of dog attacks that have sometimes resulted in death. Statistics compiled by DogsBite.org show that, in 2019, for example, pit bulls were involved in 69 percent of the 59 dog-bite fatalities recorded in the U.S. that year. However, many pit-bull owners are at pains to demonstrate that their canine companions do not deserve the bad reputation. Simba is a case in point....

Mosimane was accused of poaching players from other teams by City boss John Comitis early this year, as the Brazilians wanted to sign both Ngoma and Lebogang Manyama. That didn’t sit well with Mosimane who felt other coaches or team officials also speak to his contracted players. However, he is watching the situation with City very closely to see if they won’t be poaching any of the contracted players in the PSL, while remaining very cautious whenever he’s asked about his interest in players that are contracted to other teams....

But what if there’s an element of truth in those wee-hour con games? What if you could, in fact, shed pounds and become healthier with no extra effort or changes in lifestyle? Scientists are highly skeptical of unproven health claims, but they are well aware of the strength of placebos—and what placebos demonstrate about the power of the mind in matters of health. Could a placebo possibly create a mindset that says, convincingly, “I am physically fit”?...

His pragmatic style has earned Zhu the moniker, “China’s Gorbachev”, but in fact he’s anything but. Acquaintances describe the 64-year-old technocrat as impatient, slightly abrasive and not afraid to make decisions. Most important, Zhu shows little interest in the kind of political reform that spelled the demise of the former Soviet Union. “He defends China’s human-rights record totally,” says one Western diplomat who meets Zhu frequently. “He’s a hard-bitten party man....
