It’s a folk remedy, not a clinically proven treatment. But science is starting to figure out why sour-cherry juice just might work for Tennes and his customers. The secret is in the pigments that give cherries their rich red hue. They belong to a class of natural dyes called anthocyanins (Greek for “blue flower”) that color fruits like blueberries, strawberries and plums. According to Dr. Muraleedharan Nair at Michigan State University, lab tests show that the anthocyanins in tart cherries give 10 times the anti-inflammatory relief of aspirin, without irritating the stomach....

According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data shows the state broke its record of the highest number of cases in a day Thursday with 77,848 cases reported. However, the report clarified that some of the cases were from previous days but backdated by the state. Regardless, the state has been seeing a dramatic surge in cases, with the seven-day average increasing to more than 36,400 new cases....

Gilliatt is a British-born interior designer who has written more than two dozen decorating books. Her latest, published by Little, Brown ($21.95), is a companion to the series. She specializes in making the arcane accessible, and much of the series concentrates on a visual dictionary, with definitions of various styles and design elements. With her British accent and her conservative cardigans and pearls, Gilliatt comes across like a proper nanny, offering instruction on decor rather than decorum....

Venditte worked a scoreless seventh inning against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, allowing a single to Hanley Ramirez before getting Mike Napoli to ground into an inning-ending double play. He then worked a perfect eighth. MORE: Woman critically injured by broken bat | Nats, A’s talking deal for Ben Zobrist The 29-year-old was called up earlier Friday from Triple-A Nashville, where he posted a 1.36 ERA and 33 strikeouts in 33 innings....

So how did they wind up inside the car? In 1988 a Madison clerk was driving them to a storage warehouse when his car failed. He left it at Johnny’s Transmission Shop but never came back to pick it up. There it sat until last spring, when a tornado wrecked the car. An insurance adjuster then stumbled on the documents. Prosecutors believe the papers will help illuminate McDougal’s and Clinton’s business ties....

While requests have been made for Encanto and Coco, and fans believe they saw Endor from Star Wars in the trailer, others have brought up the possibility of a Marvel world. While this was also discussed around the time of Kingdom Hearts 3, it never happened, though many have continued to say how it would be a lot of fun to see Sora summon The Hulk or swing around with Spider-Man....

This is not the smoothest trip: the transitions are bumpy, the lip-synching’s imperfect and the Malibu third act seems like another movie. But Anders’s rough edges are more than offset by the story’s contagious vitality. There’s great teamwork here–between Douglas and her vulgarian mentor Turturro; in the delightful scene when our heroine and her British collaborator (Patsy Kensit) write a coded love song for a lesbian pop star (Bridget Fonda); in the film’s rousing original soundtrack, which daringly pairs ’60s and ’90s talents (Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello!...

After someone named Terri Nelson noted the trend on Twitter, another person shared a link from Yankee Candle’s online shop for the Sparkling Cinnamon fragrance. The link was from a one-star review, where the purchaser, under the headline of “Waste of money,” wrote “I purchased three of these. What a waste. There’s virtually NO scent to these at all!! If I wasn’t confined to my home because of covid I would return these for sure....

This time, Olsen’s secret is really out of this world. On Monday the 58-year-old research scientist, philanthropist and grandfather will announce that he plans to become the next civilian to visit the International Space Station. Price tag: $20 million, cheap because “it’s hard to place a value on such a life-changing experience,” Olsen says. As they did with American Dennis Tito’s flight in 2001 and South African Mark Shuttleworth’s trip in 2002, Space Adventures of Arlington, Va....

The latest entry in the series was Mafia 3, which will be turning six this October and also happens to be the very first game developed by Hangar 13. The studio then turned to Mafia: Definitive Edition, a remake of the 2002 original which was released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One back in 2020. While it’s common to use remakes to gauge public interest in long-running franchises before committing to sequels, that might not have been the case here, seeing how Mafia 3 was a record-breaking commercial success for 2K in spite of its mixed critical reception....

NEWSWEEK’S new section, which will be called “2000: The Millennium Notebook,” appears for the first time on the next editorial page of this issue.

NEWSWEEK: You wrote and illustrated your first book, “The Houdini Box,” in 1991. But with “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” winning the Caldecott, do you feel like an overnight success story at 41? Brian Selznick: I still feel excited about the idea that anybody looks at a book that I make. I started out as a bookseller. When my first book came out, I was working at Eeyore’s Books for Children in New York City [which no longer exists]....

Disney owns a huge number of pirate-related movies and media, including Peter Pan, Treasure Planet, and even The Muppets Treasure Island. The universes of Pirates of the Caribbean and Sea of Thieves were perfect for each other, according to Chapman, thanks to their similar takes on the pirate fantasy. However, according to Chapman and Neate, Rare and Disney got along very well and didn’t shut down the idea of bringing other Disney stories to life in-game....

Even the areas outside the safe zones have story-based items and secrets to be discovered if the player wants to see and collect everything that A Plague Tale: Requiem has throughout its campaign....

Researchers at Quebec-based biotechnology company Medicago and drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline have developed a plant-based vaccine for SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. And their recently reported interim findings from phase 2 clinical trials look promising. The vaccine uses a plant called Nicotiana benthamiana, which is a relative of the tobacco plant. Like other COVID-19 vaccines, the plant-based option is a two-dose shot given 21 days apart. Results of Medicago’s trials so far showed subjects developed a strong antibody response after receiving the jab—“about 10 times higher than those seen in people recovering from natural disease,” Brian Ward, MD, Medicago’s chief medical officer, tells Verywell....

As police reconstructed it, Billy Jack went out on the evening of Feb. 19 with Steven Eric Mullins, 25, and Charles Monroe Butler, 21, both residents of nearby Fayetteville. They went to the Tavern, a bar in Sylacauga, and left in Gaither’s car. Mullins was known around town for wearing KKK T shirts; he and Butler had brushes with the law in the past. According to investigators, the two men planned to attack Billy Jack for at least two weeks, allegedly because Gaither made a homosexual overture to one of them....
