The elimination diet for skin
Her skin looked flawless for a couple of days, and then the irritation started. “It seemed like there was an overwhelming number of things I needed to prepare my skin for — and I needed to start doing it now,” Naglie said. She felt pressure to use retinols, vitamin C, niacinamide and other of-the-moment ingredients that are supposed to clear blemishes and prevent wrinkles and saggy skin. They are the antithesis of the Korean beauty brands that swept the United States several years ago, which made applying 10 skin-care products before going to bed an acceptable thing to do. Many people are reassessing what their skin needs (less), just as many in the fashion industry are rethinking their addictions.

‘We are not going to lie down’: A coronavirus revolt in England
But even a show of strength like that doesn’t always work — particularly not in a city like Liverpool. And if there was one place that was not going to suffer quietly, local people say, it was Liverpool. None of that has made the city an easy testing ground for a new system of coronavirus rules that divides England into three tiers, with corresponding restrictions, depending on the seriousness of coronavirus infection rates. But Brant thinks that the government is guilty not only of bad politics but also of “terrible public health, because we cannot police our way out of this pandemic. Most recently, all sales of alcohol were banned because the club does not serve food.

An artist is still telling her deep truths
“That image and the smell made it so real that I couldn’t eat meat for about a year,” she recalled. The presentation at the Shed is Pindell’s first institutional solo exhibition in New York City, her longtime home, since 1993. The artist narrates details while the screen stays largely black, punctuated by historical photographs and statistics in white text. A white artist named Donald Newman used the N-word in the title of his solo show there. “The general attitude was: if you criticize a white male artist, that’s censorship,” Pindell said.

Bangladesh to roll out five-year development plan in November after virus hitch
The GED was working on the last phases of the draft when the coronavirus hit Bangladesh, according to its chief Md Mafidul Islam.

The plan also targets improving the savings to GDP ratio to 34 percent from 29.5 percent and slash the spending to GDP ratio to 70.3 percent, from 75 percent.

FDA approves remdesivir as first drug to treat COVID-19
The FDA had granted remdesivir emergency authorization in May after a trial by the National Institutes of Health found that it modestly reduced the recovery time in hospitalized patients. “The FDA is committed to expediting the development and availability of COVID-19 treatments during this unprecedented public health emergency,” Dr Stephen Hahn, the agency’s commissioner, said in a statement. Clinical trials assessing the safety and efficacy of the drug in this pediatric patient population are ongoing, the FDA said. The drug was approved less than two weeks before Election Day, as Trump has been promising a “cure” for COVID-19. Shares of Gilead Sciences, the company that makes remdesivir, rose on Thursday amid news of the FDA action.

NPA girls soccer beats Chino Valley, 6-1, in physical match
The goal scored by the Cougars didn't just end the Spartans' perfect streak, it also had an injury tied into it. Spartans goal keeper Payten Schmidt was taken out by a Chino Valley attacker on the same play the goal happened in the second half. Both Kiarra Hovis and Mia Blair missed time over the past two years due to ACL tears, Hovis missing the entire 2019 season and Mia Blair missing the bulk of 2018. More than a few times Chino Valley took shots at Mia Blair's legs and Hovis' legs -- which naturally didn't sit well with the Spartans who played physical right back, leading to Mia Blair getting a yellow card. Chino Valley was never given a yellow card for any of the hits on Northland Prep.

School board discusses having a week of online learning after Thanksgiving
With the holidays quickly approaching, schools are trying to decide the best course of action to allow families to meet, while also not putting students and staff at an increased risk of COVID-19. On Thursday, the Beatrice school board discussed moving to online learning the week after Thanksgiving, from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1, to see if there’s an increase in cases before students return to the district buildings. Assistant superintendent Jackie Nielsen said the plan would be to return to in-person learning from Dec. 7-18, and hold professional development days for teachers to further prepare online learning materials on Dec. 21 and 22. “This is a special time of the year, that families do find time to gather and find time to meet,” Nielsen said. She said the administration’s goal is to keep students in school as much as possible.

Letter to the Editor: Why McCarthy, Sweet are this voter's pick for city council
Firstly, I completely agree with Councilmember Aslan’s letter to the editor in the Daily Sun, Oct. 14, endorsing Jim McCarthy for reelection to our Council. There are some excellent reasons there for why we should reelect him to remain on this critical governing body. I have spoken with Councilmember McCarthy personally on issues of importance to me. And then he realizes what he still needs to find out in order to make a cogent decision that will be reflected in his vote. Very important to earning our trust and confidence that he will not misrepresent us.

A #MeToo awakening stirs in Iran
Thirteen women, in interviews with The New York Times, accused the artist, Aydin Aghdashloo, of sexual misconduct over a 30-year span. But there are signs that the male-controlled power structure in Iran has started to respond to accusations like those made against Aghdashloo. Nineteen described him as the “Harvey Weinstein of Iran,” elevating or destroying careers of women depending on their receptiveness to his advances. A formidable figure who straddles art and politicsAydin Aghdashloo’s influence in Iran’s art world seemed to only grow after the revolution. “I have always worked as an independent artist and, following the revolution, have earned my living not through credits and connections to the state but through my art,” Aghdashloo wrote.

LU | Simone Leigh: Against the Artist-Individual
Simone Leigh is a prominent sculptress amongst other disciplines, whose ceramic forms auto-ethnographically explore Black female subjectivity. Though Leigh’s work has only been in the art mainstream for the last decade, the impact of her work has quickly reverberated. Conceptually, Leigh’s work is part of a larger conversation that builds off of and reimagines the ideas of her successors and contemporaries. Thus, Leigh’s sculptures once more recall Benin Bronzes, but in the context of colonialist greed: That they were plundered en masse — and have yet to be returned. The community of Leigh’s work — the “we” of her subject and impact — is bold and expansive.

Blood of recovered COVID-19 patients shows little benefit as treatment
The findings, from a study of more than 400 hospitalised COVID-19 patients, are a setback for a treatment that U.S. President Donald Trump touted in August as an "historic breakthrough". The United States and India have authorised convalescent plasma for emergency use. But this did not translate into a reduction in deaths or progression to severe disease by 28 days. "The poor performance of convalescent plasma in this trial is disappointing but not entirely surprising," said Ian Jones, a professor of virology, also at Reading University. He urged these and other researchers to continue to conduct trials of convalescent plasma as a potential COVID-19 treatment, but to do so in newly diagnosed patients.
