Technology itself is going through a reinvention these days. The word no longer causes fireworks in the NASDAQ. But it has many new faces. It’s the science and the innovation that are creating growth and opportunities in diverse fields like nanotechnology, biometrics, solar energy and biotech. And it’s the behind-the-scenes wizardry that is developing devices to help the elderly maintain their independence longer.

Use warm water. Hot water damages the skins natural oils, especially near the surface. If your hands are already very dry, try just scrubbing the palms. Use moisturizing soaps or soap-less cleansers. Avoid soaps with fragrances. Monitor what kind of moisturizers you are using. Avoid water based products, and look to oil-based moisturizers. Ointments and creams tend to be better for this while lotions are the most water-based. These oil-based products will help soften your hands faster–within the week time period–as they will help trap-in moisture better than lotions and water-based products....

Note that if you aren’t using match-light charcoal, this may require lighter fluid. After lighting, leave the lid off and wait for the coals to burn to perfection. Coals are typically ready for grilling after they develop a grey, ashy exterior and emit a warm orange glow. This can take 20 minutes or longer. If you don’t have oil, you can probably get away with either quickly rubbing one fatty piece of bacon across the grate or else just ignoring this step entirely....

If the horse bucks or runs away at the sight of the harness, that is okay....

Instituted in 2019, the policy had barred asylum seekers from claiming refuge in the U.S. unless they had first sought to claim asylum in a country they passed through on their way to the border. On Tuesday night, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly of Washington, D.C. said the ban was unlawful, ruling in favor of immigration advocates and asylum seekers, who said the so-called “third-country asylum rule” violated the Immigration and Nationality Act....

The lead prosecutor, Rob Spencer, presiding U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema and Moussaoui’s lawyer, Ed MacMahon, agreed in an online panel that despite the case’s challenges, it demonstrated how the judicial system can provide closure. Ramzi bin al-Shibh or Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused September 11 participants who are still detained at Guantanamo, have yet to be brought to trial. “It’s amazing to me that the rest of the culprits in this case have not been brought to justice,” Brinkema said....

The defending champion reached the semifinals Friday by beating eighth-seeded Kei Nishikori 6-4, 7-6 (4). His first two matches both went three sets. “It was the same length, actually, as all three of my matches went the same length basically, an hour and 52 (minutes),” Federer said. “So you see, two sets sometimes doesn’t tell the truth.” Federer finished the match with 10 aces and landed an impressive 71 percent of his first serves....

It is the third time in as many Shanghai appearances that Kyrgios has departed the Masters 1000 event under a cloud....

WEHRFRITZ: Some members of the aid community have come to believe that food aid is enabling Kim Jong Il’s regime and preventing the kind of change that will ultimately be necessary to fix North Korea. Is that not a valid argument? BERTINI: And therefore all the food aid should be stopped so that, for heaven knows how long, people would starve to death because we don’t like the [North Korean] government?...

It didn’t swing by itself. Egan has helped it along, applying major-label tactics to a minor-league scene. His bands Saves The Day and The Get Up Kids have each sold upwards of 185,000 copies, and Dashboard has sold more than 300,000. Carrabba’s name isn’t quite Spears or Timberlake, but that’s exactly the point. Vagrant has zeroed in on teens who can’t stomach bubblegum pop, and built a hip national brand even though the rest of the music industry is too depressed to get out of bed....

Fernando Torres was born on 20th Match 1984 to Jose and Flori Torres in Fuenlabrada, a city on the outskirts of Spain’s capital Madrid. Although Real Madrid is the main club supported in those parts, Torres grew up supporting Atletico – his grandfather’s favourite team.
