Thankfully, contemporary cuisine is much more than avocado toast, as restaurants around the world continue to push the boundaries of flavor. As a consequence, global gastronomy has never felt more exciting, nor have dining options been more interesting. The reasons are abundantly clear: they include a burgeoning interest in food cultures and cuisines; the rise of “destination dining,” as restaurants seek to stand out from the crowd through dazzling design and architecture; and the explosion of the sustainable food movement, with more and more chefs choosing to use local and seasonal ingredients, serving food that’s good for both people and the planet....

Although Delsym has been available for a relatively long time, how it works is not completely known. However, medical experts believe that Delsym may work by mimicking another medication, codeine, a drug in the opioid class. Delsym may also block special proteins in the brain cells called receptors, specifically the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and serotonin receptors. These receptors were found in clinical trials to play a role in causing coughing....

Delusions are a common symptom of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, delusional disorder, and schizoaffective disorder. They can also be present in other psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder with psychotic features and mania in bipolar disorder. Karl Jaspers was the first to define delusions based on the criteria of certainty, incorrigibility, and impossibility or falsity of the belief. Phillip Johnson-Laird defined delusions as failure to distinguish conceptual relevance, meaning irrelevant information is accepted as relevant....

A big reason for DeRozan’s success in the post is his size. He’s built more like a small forward than a traditional shooting guard and he has a high release point, which combine to make him a nightmare matchup for most players at his position. As you can see in the table below, he’s not afraid of shooting over defenders either. In comparison to the other top-10 scorers this season, DeRozan leads the way with 74....

However, the Kings’ plans to give DeMarcus Cousins an extension worth around $207 million this coming summer is tantamount to laying a new foundation that’s tilted and being erected on grade-A quicksand. Before long there’ll be cracks in the foundation and the whole thing will cave in long before Cousins’ new deal runs out in 2022.

Thomas, who followed the path of Johnson as a standout wide receiver at Georgia Tech before becoming a first-round draft pick and Pro Bowl wide receiver in the NFL, was taken back by reports that Megatron is retiring at age 30. “I’m very surprised,” Thomas told Sporting News on Tuesday. “He’s still one of the top guys in the league. But that’s his decision. I’m here supporting him because I’ve been around him a long time....

The club’s record signing, a €105 million arrival from Borussia Dortmund to replace Neymar, will soon return to team training as he steps up his recovery from a damaged hamstring sustained in only his second league appearance for Barca. Barca odds on for La Liga title A return for the Clasico against rivals Madrid on December 23 had been mooted for the France international, but Valverde played down Dembele’s chances of being available for the crunch clash....

China’s top legislative body announced plans earlier this month to increase the number of seats in Hong Kong’s legislature from 70 to 90. Thirty-five of the 70 legislative members currently in Hong Kong’s Legislative Council are elected, but the new changes approved by China will reduce Hong Kong’s number of elected officials to 20, according to the Associated Press. Officials announced last week that China’s Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress decided to proceed with debating the proposed amendments to Hong Kong’s legislature on Monday and Tuesday of this week....

The race for the Hillsborough County House District 16 seat in Manchester, saw Democrat Maxine Mosley defeat her Republican opponent Larry Gagne by a single vote. Mosley won the seat with 1,799 votes to Gagne’s 1,798. Before the recount, Gagne led Mosley by 23 votes. Adam Sexton, the political director for Manchester news outlet WMUR, gave updates on the ongoing recounts on his Twitter feed. “Shocker in Manchester’s Ward 6 New Hampshire House of Representative race - after she congratulated Gagne, there was still counting left and it turns out Maxine Mosley won by a single vote....

McBath ran for office after her son, Jordan Davis, was shot and killed in Jacksonville, Florida in 2012 by a man who claimed the vehicle Davis occupied along with three other teenagers was playing their music too loudly. “A local GOP official said my son was killed in a ‘drug deal gone bad,’” McBath tweeted. “He later said Jordan was murdered by one of his ’thug friends.’ Paul – let me be clear: This is pathetic....

In recent days, DeFazio has railed against the cuts at the Postal Service, which have seen a slowdown in services, accusing President Donald Trump of “intentionally trying to destroy” the service “to steal the election.” The claim that the changes appear aimed at supporting Trump’s re-election bid is rooted in the idea that the delays will undermine the mail-in voting process, which many have said is a necessary alternative to in-person voting amid the pandemic, and which Trump has repeatedly railed against....

Democrats say that by Senate Republicans working solely with the White House to draft a third spending bill, they’re only hindering Congress’ ability to come to an expeditious agreement on a plan to help American businesses and workers. “If all parties are in the room from the get-go, the final product will be guaranteed swift passage,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on the floor. “The process [Majority Leader Mitch McConnell] outlines is far too reminiscent of the typical legislative process in the Congress, a process that far too often results in delay and gridlock....

Interviewed by MSBNC, Democratic Rep. for Arizona’s 7th congressional district Ruben Gallego said that during the race Democrats fought as a team but “Senator Sinema was nowhere to be found.” He said: “We did not see her at one public event for anybody and when we had some of these races that are really in the mix right now, she could have been a very good surrogate to help out a lot of our candidates, but she did nothing....

The transcript, which was a “memorandum of a Telephone Conversation” and was “not a verbatim transcript,” confirmed allegations that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a July phone call to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son for potential corruption. The request from Trump came as the U.S. was temporarily withholding hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign military aid. Immediately following Zelensky’s desire to purchase more U....

Two polls taken in early November show that registered voters favor GOP candidates in the generic congressional ballot, which asks respondents which party they favor but does not refer to named candidates. President Joe Biden’s party currently holds 222 seats in the House of Representatives, while Republicans make up the remaining 213 seats following two special elections in Ohio this month. The Senate is evenly divided, with 50 Republicans, 48 Democrats, and two independents who caucus with the Democratic Party....

The match wasn’t what Dempsey would have hoped for. He missed a clear early chance, and his Cottagers never really got going after that on their way to a 3-0 loss to Chelsea. Dempsey has scored against Chelsea on multiple occasions, but on this, likely his final match for Fulham, Dempsey couldn’t conjure any of the familiar magic. He scored zero goals in a loan stint unlikely to be remembered by Fulham fans, or any of Dempsey’s fans for that matter....

Senator Dianne Feinstein, a ranking member of the committee, tweeted the letter on Saturday afternoon calling on Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina, to delay the hearings, scheduled for October 12. “Two Republican members of the Judiciary Committee have tested positive for coronavirus,” Feinstein wrote. “To proceed with a Supreme Court nomination hearing threatens the health and safety of those who work in this body.” Republican Senators Mike Lee of Utah and Thom Tillis of North Carolina announced on Friday that they received a positive diagnosis, following President Donald Trump’s announcement that he and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for COVID-19....
