The linchpin of this new strategy was to offer a streaming service combining HBO and Warner Bros. media. That streaming service, HBO Max, launched Wednesday. Developed apart from the existing HBO streaming services, HBO Go and HBO Now, HBO Max’s identity can be a little hard to pin down. But there are differences between HBO Go, HBO Now and HBO Max. HBO Go is free with an HBO subscription, requiring a log-in via your TV provider....
Luckily for those viewers, however, they can get the new streaming service at no additional cost. This essentially means that HBO Now viewers get thousands of hours of extra content, from an extensive library of DC Comics movies to film classics like Casablanca and Citizen Kane. Apple and Android customers can get this additional material by doing very little. Once HBO Max launches, a software update on HBO Now subscribers’ compatible devices will automatically replace Now with Max....
Tucci gave the recipe in a video, offering quips as he prepared the cocktail. Here’s Tucci’s recipe for an up Negroni. Fill a shaker with ice (“Use your hands, cause it’s the most hygenic way of getting ice into a shaker”) Double shot of gin (Vodka is fine, if you don’t like gin, but put a little gin on the top for flavor) Shot of good sweet vermouth (Don’t use Martini though—it’s not good, according to Tucci)...
The prime minister promptly flew off to Sochi, on the Black Sea, for a sudden vacation. That prompted more gossip; Sochi in August is routine for Russian leaders. But late February? Next, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Yakushkin said Yeltsin had “firmly persuaded” Primakov to take a break. A day later, Kremlin chief of staff Nikolai Bordyuzha said there would be an investigation into alleged “corruption” among Primakov’s ministers. By now, the press was full of speculation that Primakov was about to be sacked....
This is not a predicament many 15-year-olds in the year 1973 found themselves in. But Crowe, the director of “Jerry Maguire” and the author of “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” knows whereof he speaks. At the same tender age he was a rock critic for Creem and Rolling Stone, covering the likes of Led Zeppelin and Neil Young. And like his fictional alter ego, he had a fretting but supportive mom back in San Diego, freaked that the unholy trinity of sex, drugs and rock and roll was about to devour her son....
The news of the day Monday was the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Rams to fire head coach Jeff Fisher. Rams COO Kevin Demoff still praised Fisher and did not lay the blame on the longtime NFL coach. That move was lauded by Rams fans, including Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson. The Rams will play the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday and, if Green Bay Packers receiver Randall Cobb is correct, the Rams should look out for some cheap shots....

Definition The U.S. government defines health disparity as “a particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social or economic disadvantage.” These disparities negatively impact whole groups of people that already face significantly more obstacles to maintaining good health, often because of specific social or economic factors, such as: Socioeconomic status or incomeRace or ethnicityAgeSex or genderGeography, ex. rural vs. urbanDisabilitySexual orientationImmigrant statusReligionMental health status Historically, these characteristics have been linked to discrimination or exclusion....
Without the means to redress the historic lack of access to quality healthcare (or cultural issues like stigma, homophobia, and systemic racism), infections like HIV can spread rapidly through these communities. Not only are these groups more likely to get HIV, but they are less likely to be diagnosed or remain under medical care. Today, around 1.2 million people are living with HIV in the United States, with over 36,800 new infections occurring every year....
I made an appointment for a mammogram. I was barely 31 years old. The mammogram progressed into a sonogram. The radiologist said she didn’t like what she saw. Any doubt I had vanished. The radiologist said she wanted a biopsy. My husband drove to the hospital from work and we sat together, shaking and trying to keep calm. After the biopsy, we went to pick up our kids at my husband’s parents’ house....
I laughed, too, but somehow Lori’s words were not reassuring. It was the night before the Florence Marathon, and I was plenty nervous. Running 26.2 miles might seem like fun to some people, those youthful, long-legged wonders from Kenya or a university track team, but not for this garden-variety 43-year-old San Franciscan who prefers books to running. Movies to running. Pork fried rice to running! And now our devoted coach was saying throngs of excited Italians were going to shout “Die!...
Most adults have popped a dose of Tylenol, Motrin or Advil at some point; many have used those drugs within the past week or even the past hour. Sold without a prescription, these medicines are convenient and widely available. But are they too easy to use? A recent study in the Archives of Internal Medicine has suggested that frequent use of common OTC medications can increase a woman’s risk for hypertension....
Nonito Donaire Jr., boxer Doug Baldwin, wide receiver, Seattle Seahawks (retweet) And others from around the world of sport:
And yet, maybe it shouldn’t be all that surprising to see the Celtics and Heat battling it out for a spot in the 2020 NBA Finals. Both of these teams are well-coached, defensive-minded and tough as hell. Oh, and they happen to possess some really good players, so that helps. Miami has been patiently waiting for its next opponent since it eliminated Milwaukee on Sept. 8. The Heat shut down reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and utilized a balanced scoring attack — five players averaged at least 13 points — to send the Bucks home in just five games....
While Heisman favorite Marcus Mariota enjoyed an open date with his Oregon teammates, another big development in the race for the award came as QB Dak Prescott had subpar game in Mississippi State’s loss at Alabama. While Mariota remains well ahead of the rest of the field, a Badgers appearance in the Big Ten Championship Game will obviously provide Gordon another opportunity to bolster his stock. To this week’s odds…...
The pilot was identified as Joshua Hawley by St. Charles Parish Coroner and the crash occurred at around 12:30 p.m. on the I-10 on December 14. Hawley worked as a pilot, flight instructor and was the fleet and technology manager for the Five-S Group, a construction company out of Baton Rouge. He was the only person on board and was a father of three children, all under the ages of 8....
The incident in He County, which is in the city of Ma’anshan in the Anhui province, was confirmed by a government official who declined to reveal further details about the aircraft or personnel involved. A report by Chudian News, an app-based news service under the auspices of Guangdong Radio and Television, carried a video showing bright flames in a field following the crash late on Monday, Beijing time. A similar video was circulated among users on WeChat—China’s ubiquitous instant-messaging and social media app....

What Is Hemoglobin? Hemoglobin refers to a protein, found in red blood cells, that is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to all other tissues of the body. Red blood cells circulate through the lungs and the hemoglobin in these cells pick up (bind with) oxygen. These cells carry the oxygen, in a form called oxyhemoglobin, out to the tissues and cells of the body. Once at the proper destination, the oxyhemoglobin releases the oxygen and becomes hemoglobin again....
