John Antonakis, a professor of Organisational Behaviour from Switzerland’s Lausanne University, said the model’s projection for 2020 put Trump ahead of Democratic challenger Joe Biden in the race for the White House. However, Antonakis cautioned the forecast—which takes into account economic conditions, incumbency effect and candidates’ relative charisma levels—was presented “with humility” given the complicating “fog” produced by the coronavirus pandemic. The model used by Antonakis was developed in collaboration with Professor Philippe Jacquart, an associate professor of organizational behavior and leadership at the Lyon-based Emlyon Business School in France....

“This racist college professor thought it would be a great idea to help start a Tennessee Tech chapter for this national hate group, where racist students can unite to harass, threaten, intimidate and terrorize persons of color, feminists, liberals and the like, especially their teachers,” the flyer reads, according to a photo posted by Fox 17 Nashville. The flyer accused nursing professor and local county commissioner Andrew Donadio of being a racist for serving as the faculty advisor for Tennessee Tech University’s Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter, in addition to his campaign for Algood Middle School in Cookeville, Tennessee, to keep its mascot as the Redskins....

A molecule known as MitoQ is the basis of the new drug developed at the University of Louvain, Belgium. Researchers say it proved only slightly toxic to human patients in the first trial, who experienced nausea and vomiting. More trials on human patients are expected in the future. The team published their research in the journal Cancers. Some forms of cancer are more aggressive than others, even when detected early....

Judge Susan Garsh said Friday prosecutors didn't make a sufficient case for the records, but may try again. The defense says prosecutors are on a fishing expedition. Hernandez, a former Patriots tight end, pleaded not guilty to charges in the death last summer of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old Boston man who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee. Prosecutors say Hernandez allegedly communicated about the case in "coded messages" in the phone calls and discussed his belief about his criminal liability....

Researchers found no one who had the operation was still blind 2 years later and three people who were blind ended up with 20:20 vision. The findings were published in the journal Nature Biotechnology. The implant, made out of collagen protein from a pig’s skin, resembles the human cornea—the outermost transparent layer of the eye. Damaged or diseased corneas cause blindness in more than 12 million people around the world, but their vision can only be restored by a human cornea transplant from a donor....

President Donald Trump has referred to Biden as a criminal and said he and his son, Hunter Biden, are part of an “organized crime family.” This is due in part to unsubstantiated allegations about the Bidens’ business dealings with foreign countries. “It’s come to this: A neighbor reports that AG William Barr’s house in McLean is being picketed by Trump supporters who believe he’s not doing enough to lock up Joe Biden,” tweeted Glenn Kessler, editor and chief writer for The Washington Post’s Fact Checker....

The event, which was held on Tuesday at the Pine Valley branch of the New Hanover County Public Library, included books featuring LGBTQ+ families, and arts and crafts, according to a WWAY 3 report. Parents, who were attending with their children, said they felt unsafe and spoke of a confrontational atmosphere from those protesting the event. The incident comes weeks after Proud Boys members disrupted a drag queen event being held for children and families at a public library in California....

Tarrio described January 6 as “horrible” and said he suspended Proud Boy rallies nationwide following the riot. However, he said that his group’s members facing charges were overcharged by authorities and that he has since focused on helping them. “We’ve been through the wringer. Any other group after January 6th would fall apart.” Tarrio told the AP. More than three dozen Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, another far-right group, have been charged with crimes following the Capitol riot....

Sony’s next-gen console was back in stock at several retailers last week but units rapidly sold out as they have done since the PS5 launched in November 2020. Gamers waiting for further restocks have so far been left disappointed this week and the console remains sold out at most major U.S. retailers. Antonline PS5 Restock The PlayStation 5 remains out of stock at Antonline, whose latest restock sold out on Thursday....

Pernicious anemia is also sometimes referred to as “autoimmune gastritis” or “Biermer’s disease.” It is more common in older adults, and it is estimated to affect around 2% of adults over the age of 60. Pernicious Anemia Symptoms Symptoms often come on gradually and are mild at first but may worsen if untreated. For example, mild fatigue might be an initial sign. Other symptoms of pernicious anemia can include the following:...

In one realm, the mayor of Washington is legitimately on trial for repeatedly using cocaine and lying about it–the prosecutor’s coup de grace being the notorious videotape showing Barry smoking a crack pipe in a hotel room. In the other, the mayor is being persecuted simply because he’s black–pursued by a white establishment for alleged misdeeds that would go unnoticed if committed by one of its own. The former view is that of the U....

The therapy uses the CRISPR-Cas9 system for genetic engineering and paves the way for future advances in personalized cancer treatment. Survival rates vary significantly between different cancer types, ranging from 98 percent for testicular cancer to just 1 percent for pancreatic cancer. On average, 67 percent of people with cancer in the U.S. will survive for at least five years after the diagnosis, and many cancers can be cured if they are detected early and treated....

Experienced striker Guerrero, who was only allowed to play in the tournament after the captains of Peru’s World Cup opponents petitioned FIFA to temporarily lift his suspension, made the most of what may have been his final appearance for Los Incas, who finished with three points to add to the many plaudits they have won in Russia. Their opener would have been worthy of winning any World Cup match, Andre Carrillo volleying Guerrero’s weighted cross into the net to beckon forth a cavalcade of emotion from the hordes of Peru fans packing the stands in Sochi....

Read more about the causes and symptoms of pet allergies, as well as ways to manage your symptoms. What Causes a Pet Allergy? Allergic reactions occur when your body identifies a substance, called an allergen, as “foreign.” This causes your immune system to kick into gear and release chemicals to fight against the allergen. You might be surprised to learn that it’s probably not your pet’s hair that you’re allergic to....

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) made another attempt to make noise on Super Bowl Sunday by way of an ad; this time, the group’s rejected commercial featured strong allusions to Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players’ protests against police brutality and injustice. MORE: Watch the best commercials before Super Bowl 54 “Positively acknowledged by Kaepernick himself, this project pays homage to all movements that remind us to open our hearts and minds and reject all forms of injustice, including sexism, ableism, racism, ageism, homophobia, and speciesism,” PETA’s website reads....

Now you may be wondering what the two matters have in common. Carroll accepted the challenge, thanks to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, and the Seahawks coach then challenged the other head coaches of the NFC West. Arizona’s Bruce Arians and St. Louis’ Jeff Fisher have obliged, but San Francisco’s Harbaugh apparently has not. Carroll was quick to point that out Thursday. That’s cold … pun intended. UPDATE: Harbaugh reportedly accepted the challenge Friday, but it wasn’t Carroll’s challenge....

Lifting the ban, though, would come with no assurance that baseball writers will bestow hall honors on Rose: he would have violated the game’s most sacred rule and lied about doing it. Still, time is running out on Rose’s candidacy. He’s eligible for the ballot for only two more years. (After that, his hall bid would be at the mercy of an idiosyncratic veterans’ committee.) Fessing up is a gamble, but it might be the only way to keep his dream alive....
