While some allergy and COVID-19 symptoms do overlap, experts say there are some basic differences that will help you tell them apart. Here’s how you can differentiate between the two. What Causes Fall Allergies? Seasonal allergies are the body’s immune response triggered by exposure to certain allergens. Unlike COVID-19, allergies are not caused by a virus. “Allergic sensitization to pollen causes seasonal allergies,” Stephanie Leeds, MD, Yale Medicine allergist and immunologist, tells Verywell....

Earlier this week, a video posted by a Florida golfer went viral. It showed an estimated 15-foot monster slowly ambling across the Palmetto, Fla., golf course.

Politifact Florida set out to determine if the alligator existed and came to the conclusion that it did. The Florida record for a gator is 14 feet, 3....

The Nets have fallen all the way to the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 29-25 record through 54 games, but injury has played a major part in their slide down the rankings. With Kevin Durant ruled out for four to six weeks with an MCL sprain since Jan. 16, James Harden has had to carry a lot of the load recently, especially with Kyrie Irving only available for road games....

A headline like, “Jimmie Johnson now greater than legend Dale Earnhardt,” would certainly stir up controversy and attract clicks, not to mention a flood of hate mail. So would a headline like, “Jimmie Johnson still can’t hold Dale Earnhardt’s helmet.” That would probably get even more clicks, with less hate mail. But the truth is somewhere in between.

The Shade Room reported on August 12 that the television personality was prepared to file a lawsuit against ViacomCBS for $1.5 billion over his sketch comedy and improv game show. Cannon created the show and serves as its host, and executive producer. Cannon was reportedly taking legal action after his contract was terminated after he made anti-semitic remarks during an episode of his podcast, Cannon’s Class. According to The Blast, the $1....

NEWSWEEK: Are British universities struggling to attract the best and the brightest as competition from universities across the world gets more intense? Sir Tim Lankester: The competition is hotting up, but for the absolute best universities like Oxford and Cambridge, we still stand tall. We can’t be complacent, however. British kids are applying for universities in America who a few years ago would not have considered going across the Atlantic....

One major factor that’s putting Leonard in the rearview mirror is the heightened play of Raptors forward Pascal Siakam. Just six games into the season, Siakam has made major strides despite missing his best teammate from last year’s roster. Don’t forget, the young forward was solid last season as well — especially in the playoffs when he scored 19.0 points per game while averaging 37.1 minutes. To start this season, Siakam has averaged 26....

The winners and losers in Champions League draw A 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich, just their second league loss of the season, was all that separated the two at the top of the table at the end of 2016. RB looked like genuine title contenders. Thrilling to watch, their intense pressing, sharp passing and quick attacks left opponents trapped and completely exposed as Leipzig continuously worked the ball into the box....

The winger has been a Liverpool player since 2017, but there have been suggestions that he could soon end up leaving the club. Here’s an assessment of Salah’s situation at Liverpool and what could be next for him, after he offered fans a tantalising update in the build-up to Saturday’s Champions League final against Real Madrid. While his 2021-22 campaign was a spectacular success, Salah did look to tire as the year went on, struggling for both club and country — by his world-class standards, at least — after the turn of the calendar year....

Those are useful facts for the companies seeking to replace bar codes with a controversial new technology called RFID. Radio-frequency identification tags come in sizes smaller than a grain of rice, and generate a signal with unique identifying information about each product, crate or pallet of products they sit on. Digital RFID readers can pick up the signal from several feet away, so workers don’t have to manipulate the items to read them....

This year, Memorial Day comes amid the novel coronavirus outbreak, which has seen the temporary closure of many businesses, including gyms, following lockdown orders across the country. As different states begin lifting restrictions, some gyms are starting to resume services with several precautionary measures in place. Here we look at the opening hours and latest updates for different gyms on Memorial Day 2020. Crunch Some branches of Crunch are starting to reopen but “all Crunch Gyms prior to reopening are practicing social distancing and club safety including contactless entry,” the company notes on its website....

COVID-19 case rates are climbing in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Switzerland, among others. In China, BA.2 may be responsible for the country’s “biggest outbreak in two years,” according to NPR. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), BA.2 now accounts for about 23% of cases in the U.S. New York is among the states reporting accelerated growth of BA.2. From February 5 to March 12, the variant claimed up to 23% of the state’s cases....

Then, from late July through Labor Day weekend in early September, the momentum seemed to shift a bit toward the incumbent party. Democrats largely outperformed expectations in special elections in Nebraska, Minnesota, and New York State, and the culturally conservative state of Kansas resoundingly rejected a pro-life attempt to amend the state’s constitution to democratize the abortion issue and let the state legislature decide Kansas abortion policy. In general, for about four to six weeks, we began to see enough data trickle in to suggest that a “Dobbs backlash”—whereby the U....

But here’s why it’s so fitting, and it has nothing to do with the misery theme: Back on Oct.10, 2017, Bruce Arena was criticized for being arrogant enough to start identical lineups for the USMNT’s final two matches of qualifying: a 4-0 whipping of Panama, followed four days later by a surreal, lifeless display in a stunning, costly 2-1 loss to previously eliminated Trinidad & Tobago in Couva. Now here we are, four years later, talking about USMNT lineup changes and a World Cup qualifying loss....

Chief among the concern is the development of iron deficiency anemia. As the name suggests, this form of anemia develops when you lack a sufficient amount of iron in the blood. Without iron, your body cannot produce enough of the substance, known as hemoglobin, needed to carry oxygen to cells. Why iron deficiency may be higher in women with fibromyalgia is not entirely clear, and some have come to believe that the association may be, at best, incidental....

All United States Postal Service (USPS) locations will be closed on Independence Day, USPS has confirmed. “This year, July 4 (the legal public holiday for Independence Day) falls on a Saturday. Post Offices will be closed and there will be no mail or package deliveries,” the USPS said in a statement Thursday. “Due to planned restrictions on transportation availability in observance of the Independence Day holiday, the Postal Service will not accept shipments of live animals July 2-4....

However, numerous cities and states across the U.S. are replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which commemorates Native Americans instead. Columbus Day is slowly being replaced with many celebrating the state holiday as Indigenous People’s Day. Nevertheless, the second Monday in October is a federal holiday no matter what the states observe. This, of course, has implications for federal services like banks and mail. Is there mail on Columbus Day?...

Acute, non-life threatening interruptions to this process, such as gastrointestinal bugs, diarrhea, or constipation, are common and might cause a day or two of discomfort. However, when disorders of the bowel become chronic, you might start to wonder what is happening to your body—as most digestive symptoms are not clear-cut and usually do not point to the exact cause of your discomfort. If you have already been screened and do not have colon cancer, then it is worthwhile to have a discussion with your healthcare provider about your persistent symptoms....

I wonder if, when he's asked who his favorite player is, he just lifts up his shirt to reveal these insane tattoos. [via "Our twitter follower @ToGood4_YouKIDZ 's back tattoo. " pic.twitter.com/CFJWOJq7Pf— KicksOnFire.com (@kicksonfire) November 14, 2013 ">Kicks On Fire]
