When an infection occurs in the bladder, it’s called a urinary tract infection (UTI). Women are more likely than men to get a UTI. Although cystitis from a UTI is treated with antibiotics, other types of cystitis are treated differently. This article will review types of cystitis along with symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of the condition. What Is Cystitis? When the bladder lining becomes inflamed, it is called cystitis. The most common cause of cystitis is a UTI, which is also the most commonly treated outpatient infection....

Jenny Cudd of Midland, Texas asked the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. for permission to leave the country and travel to Mexico’s Riviera Maya. The trip was described as a “work-related bonding retreat.” Cudd has no previous convictions and has denied any wrongdoing but she has been charged with two misdemeanor offenses relating to the Capitol riot: entering a federal building without permission and disorderly conduct. “Ms. Cudd has appeared at her scheduled court appearance, remains in constant contact with her attorney, and has remained in contact with pretrial probation, as ordered,” Cudd’s attorney Farheena Siddiqui told the court....

The demonstrators burning flags were associated with the Revolutionary Communist Party and Refuse Fascism. According to organizers, the groups also burned flags at demonstrations in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago. Videos shared to social media showed some protesters burning small flags in Washington, D.C. before later burning a larger flag, which was quickly reduced to ashes. Gregory “Joey” Johnson, an organizer of the flag burnings connected to the Revolutionary Communist Party, said the protest action was carried out in opposition to the president....

In a post shared on Mumsnet last Friday, the children’s mom, under the username Sundawn0, explained that she and her ex-partner split a few years ago but have been co-parenting well, despite the distance between them. But recently he met another woman who quickly got pregnant, and since then he has almost stopped seeing his children, who are seven years old and constantly ask their mom for him: “He has seen them for two weeks in the last sixteen months....

Chris Thurman developed a bacterial infection, assumed by doctors to be from consuming seafood carrying the bacteria. After falling ill, doctors were forced to remove part of his intestines and place him on a ventilator. New England is known for its fresh seafood, thanks to its close proximity to the Atlantic coastline, and it was one of the first times the family had even eaten oysters. “We had them for the first time this spring,” wife Amanda Thurman told WCVB....

According to a study published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, vacations play an important role in increasing levels of well-being and mindfulness - the notion of living in the moment. Few places are better suited to finding this kind of mindfulness than Hawaii. However, as a video shared to TikTok by rising Sacramento-based musician Lames shows, things don’t always quite go to plan. When his father touched down in Hawaii with his wife, he evidently assumed he was there to enjoy a relaxing vacation and celebrate a low-key birthday....

In a viral Reddit post published on r/AmITheA**hole, Redditor u/SelfishSisterthr (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) said he and his wife were recently in desperate need of a babysitter for their 10-month-old son, and turned to his childless sister for assistance, but were sorely disappointed when she blatantly refused. Titled, “[Am I the a**hole] for calling my sister a bad, selfish person because she refused to look after my son for just a few hours,” the viral post has received more than 6,300 votes and nearly 4,000 comments in the last day....

Pretend play and the ability to engage in fantasy and make-believe worlds is important to a child’s early development. According to Scientific American, research conducted by psychologist Sandra Russ in 2004 concluded that it “allows the expression of both positive and negative feelings, and the modulation of affect, the ability to integrate emotion with cognition.” Simply put, children who engage in pretend play are better adjusted to the rigors of teenage life and adulthood that lie ahead....

We have a full slate of games for Tuesday, including one at Coors Field. The weather is going to be warm all around the league (including Colorado, which means the ball will carry even more), which usually means good things for offense and bad things for pitchers, who tend to tire a little quicker.

There are some interesting stacking opportunities in the early evening slate, including the Orioles, Padres, Rangers, Blue Jays, and, of course, both the D-backs and Rockies in Colorado. If you’re looking to go a little more under the radar, the Yankees and Royals have some prime candidates. You can also simply go with Pirates against Nick Tepesch, Cubs against Tom Koehler, Reds against Colin Rea, Red Sox against Nick Martinez, and Mets against Aaron Blair....

Despite being high on our list, guys like Carlos Carrasco, Robbie Ray, Drew Pomeranz, and even Justin Verlander are usually better suited for GPPs over cash games, but even in cash formats, you might not want to follow the crowd and go with Scherzer today. The respective strikeout abilities of the pitchers can help them salvage mediocre starts. Julio Urias might actually be the next “safest” cash play despite the fact he’s unlikely to go more than six innings....

In the afternoon slate, there aren’t really any notable pitchers to choose from other than Gerrit Cole. He faces probably his favorite opponent, the Milwaukee Brewers. In three starts this year, he’s thrown seven innings of one-run ball all three times, and most recently, he racked up 10 strikeouts. His counterpart Jimmy Nelson, a normally tough opponent, is winless against the Pirates this year. The other afternoon pitcher to consider is Danny Duffy against the A’s....

Unfortunately, neither will the No. 2 pitcher in our rankings, Lance McCullers, so the only real high-K guy going in the evening is Michael Pineda. The rest of the top pitchers in our rankings are of the “steady” variety and can provide plenty of value in DFS contests, and even in GPPs, it’s all about finding high floors today. Mike Leake, who’s posted a quality start in every outing this year, looks like the safest option....
