49ers rest up before ‘little rematch’ with Eagles next weekend

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:40:54 GMT

SEATTLE – Brock Purdy barely had time to relish the 49ers’ 31-13 win Thursday night in Seattle when, well, it was time to look at the next challenge.Too soon to talk about the next road game, Dec. 3 at Philadelphia? Too soon to rekindle memories from 10 months ago, when his right elbow was injured in a 31-7 loss in the NFC Championship Game.“Obviously it’s going to be a big one on the road,” Purdy said. “We know that. Everyone knows that. But we’re just taking it one day at a time and we’re going to enjoy this one.”Purdy preached about taking the extended weekend to “recover and clear our mind,” and when it comes to the game plan for the Eagles, “we’ll get to it next week.”Coach Kyle Shanahan offered a similar message to end his locker room address to the first-place 49ers (8-3).“There’s not many times in football where you can play on Thanksgiving, have three days off, have three days to think about what you did. These three days go fast,” Shanahan said. “You guys have earned it. I...

La verdad sobre la frecuencia con la que debes lavarte el pelo

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:40:54 GMT

(CNN) — Los expertos afirman que no existe una respuesta única sobre la frecuencia con la que debes lavarte el pelo, ni sobre lo que puedes hacer para mantenerlo en los días de descanso.“Algunas personas creen que tienen que lavarse el pelo todos los días o se les va a poner muy graso”, dice el Dr. Anthony Rossi, dermatólogo adjunto del Centro Oncológico Memorial Sloan Kettering de Nueva York y miembro de la Academia Estadounidense de Dermatología. “Si se dan una oportunidad, puede que vean que en realidad no tienen ese cuero cabelludo o pelo graso. Y, por otro lado, puede que no toleren esperar demasiado tiempo o lavarlo con poca frecuencia porque sienten que su cuero cabelludo se vuelve muy graso”.La frecuencia con la que debes lavarte el cabello depende de múltiples factores, como el tipo y el estilo, el grado de grasa que suele tener tu cuero cabelludo y tus niveles de actividad.“Es una cuestión personal”, dice Rossi.

The polls keep getting worse for Biden

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:40:54 GMT

President Joe Biden’s poll numbers keep getting worse.November started with New York Times/Siena College polls showing Trump ahead in four of the six swing states, but more indicators of Biden’s electoral peril soon followed. The president’s standing in head-to-head matchups with Trump is falling: Among the latest surveys this month from 13 separate pollsters, Biden’s position is worse than their previous polls in all but two of them.And while polls suggest most of the movement comes from voters abandoning Biden — who might become undecided but not swing to supporting Trump — the Republican has also started to gain steam. Trump’s vote share in the national polling average is higher now than at any point in the past year.The state-level data are just as striking: In addition to those New York Times/Siena polls, within the last week and a half, other surveys have shown Trump ahead by 8 points in Arizona and 5 points up in Michigan.Biden’s recent slide — and his political predicament s...

Alberta Energy Regulator reports runoff spill at Suncor’s Fort Hills oilsands site

CALGARY — The Alberta Energy Regulator says a spill at Suncor Energy’s Fort Hills oilsands site spanned more than a year, releasing close to 10,000 cubic metres of surface runoff from a containment pond.  The regulator says on Oct. 9, the energy company reported an “unplanned release” of around 662 cubic metres from the pond adjacent to Fort Hills into the Athabasca River. But on Nov. 24, Suncor informed the regulator that the spill was likely much larger than originally reported and may have been happening since June 2022 due to a faulty valve.The regulator says it visited the site and found the valve is not currently leaking, adding it will be reviewing sampling data from June 2022 through to November 2023. It says Suncor has taken water quality samples of the pond, the results of which indicate the water spilled into the river was “within release criteria parameters for discharge.”It says the pond the water was released from “is not related to mining, extraction or tailings proce...

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Hamas was preparing to release more than a dozen hostages Saturday for several dozen Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, part of an exchange on the second day of a cease-fire that has allowed critical humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and given civilians their first respite after seven weeks of war.While uncertainty remained around the details of the exchange, there was optimism, too, amid the scenes of joyous families reuniting on both sides. On the first day of the four-day cease-fire, Hamas released 24 of the about 240 hostages taken during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel that triggered the war, and Israel freed 39 Palestinians from prison.
