There are many types of ostomy products on the market today, and every person with an ostomy will probably use a different combination to get the right fit and to protect against leaks. However, there are a few commonalities, and the basic instructions on how to change an ostomy appliance will apply to most situations. Check with your enterostomal therapy (ET) nurse about any specific questions you have on changing your appliance, or for some tips and tricks....

Aside from other random bundles being seen, there is a major reason to believe the rumor about Snoop Dogg appearing in Call of Duty: Warzone. While many may have forgotten that it happened, Snoop Dogg has already played a major role in a Call of Duty game before. As such, it would not be too surprising if the rapper made a return, lending his voice and unique personality to the franchise once again....

RELATED: Legend Of Zelda: 5 Strongest Versions Of Link (& 5 Weakest) The legendary Master Sword has made about as many appearances as Link himself, but it’s not always the mighty weapon it seems to be… at least, not at first. In several titles, such as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (in which Link was originally supposed to age, incredibly) it must be upgraded first. This is also true in The Legend of Zelda: To Link To The Past....

The known facts of the case are these: For a week in July 1969, bullets rained and entire city blocks burned, sparked by the shooting of a black resident. Lillie Belle Allen, a preacher’s daughter, rode with her parents and sister through the turf of the Newberry Street Boys, a white gang. “It’s n—-rs, and they have guns,” a kid yelled, according to grand-jury testimony. Rifle-toting teens charged the Cadillac, causing Allen’s sister to swerve and stall the car on railroad tracks....

World leaders have committed nearly $13 trillion to address COVID-19 and economic crisis, and even in the midst of the pandemic, many are continuing to step up climate action. This reveals a growing realization that there are clear benefits to combating climate change alongside enacting economic recovery. The massive amount of public spending could contribute to building a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world. The Biden administration plans to play a critical role in moving global low-carbon recovery forward....

A heart attack is a life-changing medical emergency. The sooner a heart attack is diagnosed and treated, the sooner blood flow can be restored to the organ, which means less damage will occur. When damage does happen, one of the markers used to detect it is called troponin. The initial findings of the research were presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress last week. One of the researchers, Roi Westreich, MD, PhD, of the Soroka University Medical Centre in Beer Sheva, Israel, demonstrated that troponin can be detected in a saliva sample more rapidly than it can be in a blood sample....

Berlin, 1989? Try Cyprus, 2003. Since April, when the government of Turkish Cyprus opened its borders, more than half a million Cypriots from both sides of the divided island have crossed over to see how the other half lives. Turkish Cyprus’s fiercely nationalist president, the 79-year-old Rauf Denktash, hoped the move would defuse popular anger at the breakdown of U.N.-sponsored talks to reunify the island and strengthen support for his policy of independence....

A Plague Tale: Requiem is the second historical game set in the time of the Hundred Years War from Focus Entertainment and French developer Asobo Studio. Like A Plague Tale: Innocence before it, A Plague Tale: Requiem will feature a heavy amount of realism and historical accuracy despite being a fictional work. It will also feature Amicia as the main protagonist as she continues to protect her brother Hugo. However, from a new gameplay trailer shown at the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, it seems there will be a few major differences in A Plague Tale: Requiem from it’s predecessor....

Da Silva was supposed to be a success story–part of what President Fernando Henrique Cardoso calls a “veritable peaceful revolution in the countryside.” In one of the most ambitious land-reform programs ever, Brasilia has parceled out 18 million hectares to 542,000 families (nearly 2 million people). Since 1995 Cardoso has settled more people on more land than all the monarchs, populists and generals in Brazil’s 500-year history. The rapid spread of settlements has given homes to the homeless and restored a modicum of justice and peace in places known for neither....

Reprehensibly, chief restorer Gianluigi Colalucci doesn’t give the scale of the photos in his notes on the plates. Some details, says Knopf editor Susan Ralston, are shown in actual size, but which ones? Still, you get God, beard and all, plus selected saints, all in brighter-than-Marvel Comics color. What do you want for a grand?

The Iraqi forces are, as Desert Storm commander Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf put it last week, “on the verge of collapse.” Only Saddam Hussein seems not to know this. It’s hard to be in contact with reality from the bottom of a bunker. Particularly when you have a habit of being wrong. He was wrong to take on an eight-year fight with Iran, and wrong to think the United States was a paper tiger that would prove unwilling to fight over his invasion of Kuwait....

Now the U.S. Supreme Court will decide. Last week the justices agreed to hear the case next spring. By doing so, they’re once again confronting the toughest of contradictions in the Constitution. In one breath, the First Amendment prohibits the “establishment of religion”; in the very next, that amendment guarantees religion’s “free exercise.” That’s it: two opposite promises, which is a formula for doctrinal gridlock. The high-wire act required is worthy of the Wallendas: the more that government leans to one side to buttress one guarantee, the less it supports the other equally important one....

On Sunday The New York Times gave former Baghdad bureau chief John F. Burns a few column inches to give his take on where the war has taken us. Burns penned this article at the war’s outset which I’ve always considered to be an amazing piece of journalism. For Sunday’s article, Burns, who spent five years in Iraq, reflects on his position as a journalist covering the war; and on the larger meaning for both the U....

His impact on the World Series champion Atlanta Braves was undeniable, and it wasn’t just the pregame fungo routine that helped his infielders fine-tune their preparation every single day or his work as the third-base coach. No, the impact goes much deeper than that. Manager Brian Snitker has long been an even-keeled, keep-your-cards-hidden constant for Atlanta, a personality trait that was especially important as his ball club tried to keep its head above water during the turbulent first half of the 2021 season....

A grim exercise, some might say, to compile what amounts to an index of suffering and, in some cases, death. And I admit that on the page my list reads like a cold collection of clinical terms. But I have faces to go with all of those diseases, and names and stories, too. I have laughs to go with the tears. So will you, when you make your own list....
