Surgeons harvest a fingertip-size patch of hair from the back of the scalp. Then they isolate individual follicles and implant anywhere from 10 to 50 lashes on the top lid using a curved needle. Patients are awake throughout the procedure (after taking a sedative) and receive a local anesthetic to minimize pain. Side effects may include temporarily puffy lids and scarring. There’s also regular upkeep: the new eyelashes continue to grow at the same rate as the hair on your head, so they must be continually trimmed....

The game has been over for more than an hour now, but he understands Larry Davis has been too busy to call in the interim — busy fulfilling all the responsibilities of a college basketball head coach following an important conference game, busy doing the things Cronin was handling himself until that alarming afternoon seven weeks ago. Cronin answers the phone with a sense of delight. The two speak for about seven minutes, their conversation far less a conference than a celebration....

Trump has weighed into the crucial contests, endorsing a slew of candidates including Herschel Walker in Georgia and Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania—two close races that could determine control of the Senate. The race for the Senate is now a dead heat, according to poll tracker FiveThirtyEight, but Republicans are favored to win the House of Representatives, which would allow them to stymie Biden’s agenda. Much will depend on whether Republicans can retake the Senate and whether Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will return as the upper chamber’s majority leader....

However, with a slew of similar titles already on the market, fans may find themselves tiring of the often-imitated FromSoftware action RPG formula. With Elden Ring’s release finally on the horizon, it remains to be seen whether fans will be underwhelmed if the game decides to re-tread old ground. RELATED: Saints Row Reboot May Suffer the Most From Elden Ring’s Delay FromSoftware’s Famous ‘Soulslike’ Formula FromSoftware’s 2009 masterwork, Demon’s Souls, established a gameplay foundation so successful that the developer has continued to iterate on in its subsequent 12 years of game releases....

But the list of unsigned players remains long, and for guys like Jake Arrieta and Mike Moustakas, the end of a frustrating offseason might not be around the corner. Teams need starting pitching, but seem to be balking at the money and years Arrieta is asking for. There were a handful of teams looking for the type of third-base upgrade that Moustakas offers, but they’ve almost all gone in different (cheaper) directions....

Hello Games is currently preparing to launch No Man’s Sky Beyond, a free update to the existing game that will include online multiplayer for 16-32 players, full VR support, and a slew of other frequently requested features. But when sitting down with Murray to talk about the massive update, Game Informer asked if the game would ever come over to the Nintendo Switch.

The Broncos rewrote just about everything with Peyton Manning in 2013. His 5,477 passing yards and 55 passing touchdowns broke respective records by Drew Brees and Tom Brady. It added up to the Broncos scoring the most points in a season (606) in NFL history. While Manning is still stuck with one Super Bowl ring, his other stats keep shooting up. Peyton is a perfect place to start (and finish) for numbers you need to know to count down to 2014 NFL season kickoff Thursday night:...

Freeman told CNN after a briefing on Thursday that all four officers–Chauvin, Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng–invoked their Fifth Amendment rights. The Fifth Amendment, commonly referred to as the right to remain silent, allows a person to refuse to testify if their answer could incriminate themselves. However, Kelly told Newsweek that Chauvin did not. Newsweek reached out to the Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman’s office for comment, but did not receive a response in time for publication....

Paul Szewc and his wife Sandy, both 61, met in 1982 when Sandy asked Paul to dance in a bar. The duo later posed beside a 12-foot sunflower Paul had grown in his mother’s garden back in September 1984. Thirty-eight years later, the gardening enthusiasts were delighted when they grew another whopper and recreated the photo they took when they first got together. Szewc, a furniture maker from Ontario, Canada, said: “One of our sunflowers just so happened to shoot up again....

According to their obituary, Thomas Fortenberry, 69, and Diane Fortenberry, 68, who passed away on January 13, had been infected with the disease since this past Christmas. In a blog post, a nurse at WakeMed hospital where the couple had received care wrote that before the couple passed away hospital staff moved them into the same ICU room. “After setting them up, side-by-side, hand-in-hand, we gave the family some time alone with their parents, one last time,” the nurse wrote....

Chelsea fans fume over Cesc absence The Republic of Ireland international, making his full debut for the Clarets, bent the ball into the top corner to make it 1-1 at Turf Moor after Pedro had given the Blues the lead. And the goal was a significant one for Thibaut Courtois, with the Chelsea goalkeeper having now conceded his first goal direct from a free-kick in the Premier League. The last player to score a free-kick against the west London club in the league was Rickie Lambert back in 2013 during his Southampton days....

The virus contaminated surfaces in less than 24 hours, despite the patients being pre-symptomatic, according to a study published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. Pre-symptomatic patients “may easily contaminate the environment,” the authors wrote. To learn more about the pre-symptomatic spread of SARS-CoV-2 (the coronavirus which causes COVID-19), the researchers tested swabs taken from a hotel room where two Chinese students were quarantined. The students had been studying overseas....

The company website currently states that Costco pharmacies are not able to schedule an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccination. However, as is the case with several retail chains currently offering COVID-19 vaccinations, those eligible to receive a vaccine will likely need to register to book a vaccination appointment at a Costco in their area when the vaccines are available. Monitor the Costco website for the latest information on how to register to book your COVID-19 vaccination....

From the trailer you can see that the RPG style of gameplay is focused around your character “morphing” into a freaking awesome version of their costumed self. My personal favorite is the robot mechwarrior, but all of the transformations look both unique and jaw-droppingly bad-ass. Check out the trailer below: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npbz3ZER0UU&feature=player_embedded The art style of the game makes it very clear that gamers are about to play through a Double Fine game....

Netflix would soon go on to cancel all of these shows but the longevity of these series and the significance of its characters have not been forgotten by fans of Marvel. Prior to the conclusion of 2021, Marvel officially introduced both Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) to the MCU after the cancelation of Daredevil in 2018. Cox and D’Onofrio might be the only characters from the Netflix Marvel shows to make an MCU appearance, but they are certainly not the only memorable hero-villain duo....

Portugal will host No. 37-ranked Turkey in one knockout semifinal and if it advances, it will host the winner of the Italy vs. North Macedonia semifinal. Should both Italy and Portugal advance, they will face off for a ticket to the World Cup. What’s certain is that both will not make it. The 36-year-old Ronaldo and his Portugal side are in this position after a shock home loss to Serbia in the final group-stage match....

Murray said he is using this opportunity to uncover the roots of the problems with his team, which currently holds a share of last place in the Pacific Division. “I didn’t feel it was right to bring anyone in at this point in time," Murray said. “I think I had to be here, I had to go downstairs, I had to live it with these guys. I’ve got to find out everything going on down here and obviously, it’s more problematic than I thought a while ago so I figured the only way that was fair to anybody was for me to get down here....
