The cause of your struggle may not be just a lack of willpower. In fact, your menstrual cycle may be to blame. Menstrual Cycle 101 Your menstrual cycle is a complex interaction between two structures in your brain and your ovaries. A very sensitive feedback loop controls the timing of estrogen and progesterone production by your ovaries which causes you to ovulate and menstruate at regular intervals. To better understand what is going on with your hormones, let’s break down the average 28-day menstrual cycle into three phases:...

Mata wants to extend Man Utd deal Expectations are high at White Hart Lane after Tottenham finished third last season but Spurs’ quest for silverware in 2016-17 is fading. Tottenham are 13 points adrift of Premier League leaders and London rivals Chelsea, while they were dumped out of the Europa League by Gent. And Pochettino has reiterated the need for patience, though he insists Tottenham are on track to become one of the best clubs in Europe....

That’s another win for Chevrolet and another win for Stewart-Haas Racing. For Busch, it’s his third Pocono win with three different teams and three different manufacturers; his 28th career NASCAR Sprint Cup victory. It’s especially sweet considering Tony Gibson, Busch’s crew chief, was suspended for a lug nut violation before a race that would be decided by fuel mileage calculation. Team engineer John Klausmeier filled that void well, to say the least....

The Juventus duo will have been granted an extended holiday following their exploits in France, but seeing off Germany in Thursday’s semi-final now has now added a few more days on to their return date. And in their post-match interview, Pogba and Evra couldn’t hide their delight at delaying their return to Juventus. “We have the pressure to return soon to Vinovo to run [in pre-season],” said Evra. “It was important to win today to have another week....

With a wealth of talent to choose from at Old Trafford, whittling down a star-studded squad to just five selections is no easy task. The truth: Mou is right about Martial Jose Mourinho has international performers aplenty at his disposal, with big money spent assembling a side still competing on four fronts this season. Lingard was asked by FourFourTwo to pick the cream of the crop as part of their ‘Team-mates’ feature, with the England international favouring youth and creativity....

In a study from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), researchers looked at the effect playing location-based mobile games, such as Nintendo’s Pokemon Go, had on depressive trends. The resulting paper, published in the Journal of Management Information Systems, reveals that the release of Pokemon Go was accompanied by a significant short-term reduction in depression-related internet searches. LSE Department of Management researcher Aaron Cheng said in a press release from the institution: “With the uncertainty, we are facing every day, mental health plays a vital role in our personal and professional life....

These exclusive Pokemon will only be available in those particular versions, which makes trading between Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet players extremely important. Or, if you don’t want to trade with other people, you can always just get the double pack for the game and play through both. Either way, knowing which exclusives are available for which game will come in very handy when deciding which version to buy....

The Eagles were a standout performer in qualification but after manager Paulo Sousa’s shock departure in December, their Nations League campaign left lingering doubts. Chile failed to qualify for the Qatar tournament and are winless in their last five matches, including a 2-2 draw with the World Cup hosts last time out. However, the likes of Alexis Sanchez won’t make it easy for Poland, and the game should give an indication of their form....

Outside experts wonder whether the high rate encourages others. The spike “may be the result of a contagion effect,” says John Violanti, a SUNY Buffalo researcher who studies cop suicide (but not the CHP cases). The deaths of admired officers may help legitimize the choice for fellow cops. Police officers, taught to bottle their emotions on the job, are notoriously slow to seek help, so the CHP has launched a training program to help managers recognize and confront at-risk officers with a “question, persuade, refer” technique....

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office told Newsweek that Victor Lee Tucker Jr., 30, entered the Big Bear Supermarket at South DeKalb Mall on Candler Road in Decatur. Tucker was asked to put on a mask by Laquitta Willis, 41, a cashier at the store, and he began arguing with her. Tucker left the store without purchasing anything and immediately returned. Tucker pulled out a gun and started firing at Willis, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) said....

He told reporters: “Today the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is hurting, we mourn the loss of police officer Mia Goodwin and the profession hurts, our city hurts....

The world no. 1 emerged victorious earlier in the day, after it was ruled that the Serbian sportsman would not be deported by the Australian government over not being vaccinated against COVID-19. Djokovic’s case has sparked a strong reaction in the city—where Djokovic had traveled to compete in the Australian Open—with one side decrying the star’s exemption from the country’s strict COVID rules, while others have supported him. Video footage shared on Twitter by The Guardian journalist Tumaini Carayol showed Djokovic’s supporters chanting “Free Nole”—a nickname used by fans—as they marched in the central business district, where his lawyer’s office is reportedly located....

According to WXYZ News in Michigan, 27-year-old Glorianna Moore was arrested by the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department on May 8 after a routine food delivery.

A land, air and river operation to try and locate Anthony Vanharen, 42, was launched last Saturday after the man’s boat was found “washed ashore and unattended” on the north side of the Mission River, east of the Mission River Bridge, in Weipa. According to Queensland Police Service (QPS), its investigation indicates Vanharen rang family members on April 29 and was potentially spotted on his boat—a white 15ft Quintrex—the next day....

Candidates trying to mobilize voters have paid considerable attention to the culture wars being waged in the nation’s K-12 public schools. Last year’s notable gubernatorial win in Virginia proved it could be a war worth wading into. Last November, Republican Glenn Youngkin, who ran on an education platform championing parents’ rights, successfully defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe, a former Virginia governor who was running for a non-consecutive second term. But it wasn’t just Youngkin’s promise to parents that they had the right to influence public education that centered the race on Virginia’s schools, it was also McAuliffe’s stark opposition to that perspective....

Key to Trump’s path to victory are his “shy” supporters who aren’t necessarily telling most pollsters the truth about who they will vote for because of societal pressures that have only grown in the last four years, according to Robert Cahaly, a pollster and senior strategist with the Atlanta-based polling company Trafalgar Group. Cahaly made national headlines in the fall of 2016 when he announced predictions at odds with most other national polls, which said then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was destined for a landslide triumph....

Putin launched his “special military operation” on Ukraine on February 24, immediately raising concerns that he could order the use of nuclear weapons in the Eastern European country. After more than seven months of fighting, nuclear anxiety has grown as Russian troops struggle to achieve their substantial goals and have been forced to retreat from key cities. Experts fear that Putin, facing defeat, could resort to using nuclear weapons if he believes he has no other option to attain victory against Kyiv....
