How’d you get interested in this topic? I’ve written a lot about women’s health issues. I had recently published some essays about women who died in menstrual tents in rural Nepal, and the need for menstrual justice worldwide when Melissa Berton asked if I would be interested in writing this book. Perfect timing. What is most important for everyone to understand about the danger in stigmatizing periods? When menstruation is stigmatized, women become second-class citizens, and their self-esteem suffers....

The second half of season 6, which began airing in July, featured some of the most shocking moments between both shows. There weren’t as many bullets fired as the endings of Breaking Bad or El Camino, but Better Call Saul still surprised fans with its emotional resonance. These moments are the best from the last batch of episodes. 10 Gus Vs. Lalo The last episode of season 6’s first half ended on quite the cliffhanger....

Better Call Saul took important steps towards its mid-season finale with an episode that is more about setting up the final details of Kim and Jimmy’s plan to bring down Howard Hamlin than anything else that’s going on. Nevertheless, the result sticks to the high standard of the show, while also providing a few Breaking Bad easter eggs fans might want to look out for. Even more so, this week’s “Axe and Grind” (yes, every episode’s title this season sticks to the same format) also marks Giancarlo Esposito’s directorial debut, with his character taking a rare break as Gustavo Fring is nowhere to be seen....

MORE: Classic photos of Yankees legend Mickey Mantle A-Rod’s first-inning home run off the Tigers’ Justin Verlander back on June 19 came at a time when the slugger and the Yankees were embroiled in a disagreement over his contract signed in 2007 that called for payment of bonuses tied to career milestones that has since been settled. With the home run, Rodriguez joined Derek Jeter as the only players to record their 3,000th hits while playing for the Yankees and the only players ever to reach the mark at Yankee Stadium — the original ballpark or the new one....

On Tuesday, Beyoncé removed a sample of the song “Milkshake” from a Renaissance track. The move came days after Kelis, who scored a hit with “Milkshake” in 2003, accused Beyoncé of “theft” for allegedly not telling her about the sample. The news about the Kelis sample may be the latest update on controversies surrounding Renaissance, but issues regarding the album began before it even officially dropped. The album leaked online days before its release date after record stores in Europe reportedly put Renaissance on shelves early....

The pre-alpha gameplay montage for Beyond Good and Evil 2 shows a little bit of everything with clips highlighting travel, combat, exploration, and some awesome flight. This isn’t quite as much of a gameplay reveal as many fans were hoping for, but it’s certainly better than nothing. Here’s a look at the new footage… During the event, there will also be a behind closed doors demo of Beyond Good and Evil 2, which Game Rant will attend....

There are different formulations of bhringraj oil, but all contain extracts of the false daisy (Eclipta alba, which grows in parts of India, China, Thailand, and Brazil) and an inactive carrier oil (such as sesame or coconut oil). Other ingredients, such as amla oil, brahmi oil, gotu kola, licorice root, and costus root (Saussurea lappa), may also be added. Health Benefits According to the principles of Ayurvedic medicine, bhringraj oil is used to treat imbalances in pitta, one of three doshas (universal life forces) said to govern all physical and mental processes....

Sri Lankan batting once again promised a lot but delivered too little losing as many as seven wickets for 53 runs after they were cruising along at 185 for 3. A 122-run partnership for the 4th wicket between Lahiru Thirimanne (67) and Angelo Mathews (55) enabled Sri Lanka to reach a position of safety before Bhuvneshwar led the charge with his maiden five-wicket haul. Jasprit Bumrah (2/45), Kuldeep Yadav (1/40) and Yuzvendra Chahal (1/36) were the other wicket-takers....

Incidentally, this isn’t the first time that Andreescu has trained at Nadal’s academy. She did so in 2019 as well to prepare for the clay tournaments after a break. Back in 2019, she was all praise for the academy and also went on to mention that Spain was her favorite country. The likes of Naomi Osaka, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Casper Ruud have honed their skills within the precincts of the prestigious academy....

TIP SHEET reviewed four models.

“We did not go to Afghanistan to nation build. Afghan leaders have to come together and drive toward a future,” Biden said in a speech updating his administration’s ongoing efforts to end the nearly 20-year-war in Afghanistan. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below. Biden also amplified the justification of his decision to end U.S. military operations even as the Taliban make rapid advances in significant swaths of the country....

“You were angry,” Biden told the crowd. “You believe you weren’t being seen, represented or heard.” Biden pitched himself as an agent of change. “I get it. It has to change and I promise you this: It will change with me,” Biden said. “You will be seen, heard and respected by me. This campaign isn’t about just winning votes, it’s about restoring the basic dignity in this country that every worker deserves....

While speaking on Bannon’s War Room, Clark said, “Is Obama friend or foe here? I think it’s an important question because I haven’t seen anything from Obama defending his former number two. And certainly, you would think one of the go-to defenses if they could pull it out was that somehow Obama had de-classified this stuff. And yet I’m just hearing radio silence on that.” Biden is facing allegations that he may have misplaced or mishandled multiple classified documents while he was vice president under former President Barack Obama....

In 2016, Iowa voters flipped 31 counties from blue to red. And one, Howard County, was the sole county in America to vote for both Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump by at least 20 points. Accounting for about 26 percent of the state’s total population, the 31 pivot counties helped give Trump the 10-point victory over Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, who only won five counties. Looking toward election night, Dennis Goldford, a professor of Political Science at Drake University, told Newsweek that if Trump retained his margin in the swing counties, he’d win the state....

The poll put Biden at 51 percent among respondents with the president at 45 percent. The poll’s margin of error was 3.3 percent. Florida is always an important bellwether state, indicating which way the election is heading. For Republicans, the state has often been key to victory; in two of the GOP’s last three election wins, the party could not have prevailed without taking the Sunshine State. Both the Trump and Biden campaigns have lavished attention and funds on Florida, hoping to secure its 29 electoral college votes....

According to the new poll, conducted by Lansing-based Glengariff Group for The Detroit News and WDIV-TV, Biden is supported by 49.3 percent of likely Michigan voters while the incumbent Republican president is backed by just 41.6 percent. The survey was conducted from October 23 to 25, with responses from 600 Michiganders and a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. Although Biden’s lead looks promising for Democrats, Glengariff Group carried out a similar poll for The Detroit News and WDIV-TV in October 2016....

President Xi Jinping says he sees China taking over control of Taiwan as a “historic mission” and officials warned adversaries not to meddle in its goal or underestimate its power. Should China mount an invasion, a Japanese official called for the country to work with the United States to defend Taiwan. During a conversation with the Asia Society, Kurt Campbell, White House coordinator for the Indo-Pacific, said the U.S. fully recognizes and understands the “sensitivities” that come with Taiwan....

At the conclusion of his speech in Warsaw on Saturday, Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” after his country’s invasion of Ukraine and continued attacks. “We will have a different future—a brighter future rooted in democracy and principle; hope and light, decency and dignity; of freedom of possibilities,” Biden told about 1,000 people, which included some Ukrainian refugees. “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power....
