What Can Deaf Job Applicants Do? Some deaf job searchers may try to tailor their resumes to hide the fact they have a hearing loss. Deaf people can use personal relay service phone numbers on their resumes. This number is a real voice number and employers who see it on a resume do not know that the applicant is deaf/HOH until they call. This avoids “giving away” the fact the applicant is deaf on the resume because the deaf applicant can list the personal relay phone number instead....

Apparently, I’m not alone. Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world, other than water. Over 6.6 billion pounds of tea are produced each year. Why? More and more research is documenting that what we include in our diet is as important as what we exclude. Tea contains a variety—perhaps thousands—of powerful, protective antioxidant substances called polyphenols, especially flavonoids such as catechins, that may help reduce the risk of some of the most common chronic diseases....

In August 2020, Lorraine—an unsuccessful Republican challenger for Nancy Pelosi’s seat in California’s 12th congressional district—was among a host of conservative figures who spoke out against Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B’s track “WAP” shortly after its release. Taking to her now suspended Twitter account, she wrote: “Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion just set the entire female gender back by 100 years with their disgusting & vile ‘WAP’ song....

I’m sorry. I should refer to you as Mr. Belichick. I don’t know you like that. I don’t know you at all. So far be it from me, a lowly scribe, to get so familiar as to call you by your first name. You’re a businessman, the ultimate businessman, in fact. That’s why I’m going get straight to the point. You’re a no-nonsense kind of guy, and that resonates with me....

By the end of the week, Safra’s murder remained a bizarre mystery. When the attack began, the 67-year-old banker, who suffered from Parkinson’s disease, was locked into a bathroom with a nurse, Viviane Torrente, 52. They stayed there for more than two hours, long after the fire began and the masked intruders disappeared. As rescuers poked through the smoky apartment, Safra and his nurse died in the bathroom. The attack was first reported by another of Safra’s nurses, a 41-year-old American man whose name was withheld by authorities....

In traditional Japanese fashion, Chiyoda turned to its banks for a lifeline. Over the next three years Tokai Bank, the main lender, extended almost $1 billion in credits before finally dispatching accountants to scrutinize Chiyoda’s books this April. What they found was startling: liabilities exceeded assets by $315 million. Tokai, struggling itself, could offer no additional infusions. Out of options, Chiyoda last week declared the largest Japanese bankruptcy ever, with total debts of $26....

However, the world-renowned spiritual teacher does have hope. Along with the belief that humans could make the world a more joyful place through their use of creativity, Chopra feels the use of technology will improve society in a variety of ways. “But please don’t depend on politicians or gangsters or leaders. They’re all the same,” he said. During the course of the interview, Chopra—whose work as a self-help guru and alternative-medicine expert has made him a bona fide celebrity—touches on all the subjects above, as well as COVID-19 and the possible extinction of the human race....

The authors of a paper published in the journal Nature Communications predict the European roe deer, song sparrow, common murre and Eurasian magpie are among animals at risk of dying out. In the face of rising temperatures following the Industrial Revolution, animals have been changing their life cycles. But some animals aren’t adapting quickly enough to survive in the long term, according to researchers. The team performed what is known as a meta-analysis, by poring over 71 studies on 17 species living in 13 countries to examine how animals respond to climate change....

Length and strokes gained off-the-tee are extremely important around TPC Boston, as the fairways are wide and the long hitters will be left with short irons and wedges into the majority of the greens. However, there are plenty of problems should players waiver off the fairway, with thick rough and plenty of water hazards lurking. Don’t get me wrong, shorter hitters can contend at this event, but with five Par-4s measuring over 460 yards, and three Par-3s over 205 yards, the big hitters will have a significant advantage....
