Still adjusting after falling back? How to battle the winter blues

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 20:19:02 GMT

Of that number, roughly a third experience more severe symptoms.Rosenthal said there are four simple ways to combat the condition.“First and foremost, get more light,” he said. “This can be done with light fixtures.

F1 exceeds Las Vegas expectations as Verstappen wins one of the most competitive races of the season

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 20:19:02 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Max Verstappen hated everything about the Las Vegas Grand Prix from the moment he arrived in Sin City. Formula One’s three-time reigning world champion found the excess and opulence over-the-top and prioritized over the actual racing. He changed his tune — literally — following his 18th win of the season. “Viva Las Vegas! Viva Las Vegas!” sang Verstappen as he crossed under the checkered flag waved by Justin Bieber. Verstappen had slammed Saturday night’s spectacle at every chance, yet raced in an Elvis-inspired firesuit and took the victory on the famed Las Vegas Strip. “I hope everyone enjoyed it, we definitely did. Excited to come back here next year and try to do something similar,” said Verstappen, who had markedly reversed his weeklong position on the Las Vegas spectacle.“It was a fun race. I enjoyed it,” he conceded. Verstappen passed Charles Leclerc at the start then overcame a penalty to pass Leclerc once more with 13 laps remaining to continue ...

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Jordan Eberle had a goal and two assists as the Seattle Kraken defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 on Saturday night.Jamie Oleksiak, Yanni Gourde and Matty Beniers also scored for Seattle (7-8-4), which won back-to-back games for the second time this season. Philipp Grubauer made 21 saves.“More than not we’ve found ways to lose games in third periods rather than find a win, so it was nice to find a way to win here against a really good team that has obviously been pretty good at home,” Eberle said. “So hopefully this kick-starts us in the right direction.”J.T.

El precio de la azúcar alcanza sus niveles más altos en más de una década. He aquí por qué

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 20:19:02 GMT

Si bien la inflación ha provocado que los precios de varios productos hayan subido desde el 2020, se espera que el precio de la azúcar se dispare aún más debido al fenómeno climático del Niño.Las recientes cifras económicas revelan que el precio actual del azúcar es el más alto registrado desde 2011, principalmente debido a problemas en la distribución y condiciones climáticas.Expertos señalan que El Niño ha provocado extensas sequías en Asia, las cuales han destruido cultivos y dificultado la cosecha.Esto ha afectado principalmente a India y Tailandia, el segundo y tercer mayor exportador de azúcar a nivel mundial, según la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO).Además, la guerra en Ucrania y las fluctuaciones en los tipos de cambio de divisas también han tenido un efecto generalizado en todo el mundo.La FAO estima que la producción global de azúcar disminuirá un 2% entre 2023 y 2024 en comparación con el año anterior, lo que se traduciría e...
