The executive, Myrna Blyth, made the comment during an interview with Axios. Blyth serves as the senior vice president and editorial director of AARP Media. AARP is a non-profit organization, 38 million members strong, whose mission is to “empower people to choose how they live as they age,” according to its website. To qualify for membership, applicants must have already passed their 50th birthdays. “OK, millennials,” Blyth reportedly said in the interview....

The Value of ABC Stories ABC stories are also called “A-to-Z stories.” They are both entertainment and an educational tool used to help develop sign language skills. They offer the opportunity to be expressive and use your imagination to create a unique story while practicing ASL. Because it’s an expressive form of sign language, there is no real way to interpret it and write it down. An ABC story must be viewed and you need to understand ASL in order to follow along....

Last week, as the United States commemorated the anniversary of the legalization of abortion nationwide, the Trump administration made headlines for its despicable opposition to abortion access. Donald Trump became the first sitting president to attend the anti-abortion March for Life rally, and in remarks praising his efforts to restrict access to health care worldwide, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos had the nerve to compare abortion to slavery. Speaking at a Colorado Christian University event in Washington, D....

It seems like everybody is switching vodkas these days. Even James Bond is now ordering his shaken, not stirred, martinis with Finlandia instead of his old cold-war favorite, Smirnoff. More than 100 new vodkas have hit the market in the past four years and the tasteless alcohol is expected to surpass whisky this year to become America’s hard liquor of choice. But there’s a generational changing of the bottle going on in the $8....

The 21-year-old becomes Milan’s fourth coup of the transfer window, following the arrivals of Mateo Musacchio, Ricardo Rodriguez and Franck Kessie. Ronaldo names Portugal heir Silva moves for much less than his €60m release fee due to Porto’s recent fine from UEFA for failing to comply with Financial Fair Play obligations, with agent Jorge Mendes negotiating a transfer of around €38m. The striker was in excellent form in the Primeira Liga last season, scoring 16 goals in 32 games for Porto, as well as four times in eight Champions League appearances....

Milan were suspended from Europe’s second-tier tournament in June, only for that decision to be overturned on appeal following a change of ownership at the Serie A giants. UEFA cited a breach of FFP and licensing regulations as the reason for Milan’s ban, and despite the club’s successful appeal, Ceferin insists that the rules do work. “The reason Financial Fair Play was introduced was first and foremost to ensure the financial stability of European clubs,” Ceferin told Corriere dello Sport....

Gullinbursti is a mystical boar that can be found in Svartalfheim. Of course, players need to purchase the Dawn of Ragnarok expansion in order to gain access to the mission that leads to obtaining Gullinbursti. The stunning boar is not difficult to find, and the mission that leads to him shouldn’t take players much time at all. Gullinbursti is also a legendary, and therefore rare, Assassin’s Creed mount.

Top seed Medvedev took on Benoit Paire in his first match since the Australian Open final last month. The World No. 2 broke early in the first set to go 2-1 up. He broke the Frenchman again to take the set 6-3. The Russian then took the second set 6-4 to win the match and seal his place in the second round. Medvedev will next face Pablo Andujar, who thrashed Mexican wildcard Alex Hernandez 6-0, 6-1....

For people with chronic health conditions such as psoriatic arthritis (PsA), access to care is vital for the management of their disease. If a person cannot receive the care they need, their condition can worsen, leading to further disability and a decreased quality of life. This article discusses why access to care is so important for people with psoriatic arthritis. The Importance of Caring for Psoriatic Arthritis Psoriatic arthritis is a form of arthritis that coexists with the skin condition psoriasis, which causes itchy, scaly patches on the skin....

On the heels of back-to-back top-two finishes, 2016 U.S. Open champion Johnson ended the opening round three strokes adrift of leader Gary Woodland in St Louis on Thursday. Johnson reached five under at one point, momentarily tying Rickie Fowler for the lead, but he bogeyed two of his last five holes to fall back at Bellerive Country Club. “I felt like the day was pretty solid. Hit a lot of putts....

A disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico has a 90 percent chance of turning into a cyclone within the next 48 hours, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Dennis Feltgen, a public affairs officer for the NHC, told Newsweek the thunderstorm activity has continued to increase and become better organized and it’s possible it could become a tropical storm on Thursday. If its winds reach at least 39 miles per hour and it’s defined enough to earn a name, the storm will take on the moniker Wilfred, the last name on the list of 21 issued by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)....

Though seemingly opposed in message, the two Web sites have more in common than a cursory glance might suggest–both were started by family members of deployed soldiers, each aims to serve as a support network for soldiers overseas and for the families who miss them. Pamela Bates launched her adopt-a-soldier Hugs To Kuwait Web site from her home at Fort Benning, Ga., in January to show her support of her husband’s 200-man unit, the 110th Field Artillery Bravo Battery....

A new poll from Morning Consult and Politico released Wednesday found only 19 percent of registered voters thought it was likely the 2020 election would be overturned. While Trump’s supporters were more likely to back the belief the election would be overturned, only 22 percent thought it would happen—a slim increase from the 17 percent of Biden voters who hold the same belief. Some vocal Trump supporters, including MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, have continued to push the claim that the former president will return to office before the next presidential election....

The latest Verywell Health Vaccine Sentiment Tracker shows that overall acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine, the proportion of those surveyed who have or would get vaccinated, has not increased since early April. Americans are still getting vaccinated—64% of those who participated in our latest survey have gotten their shot, and 11% still want to. But, the number of unvaccinated Americans who say they do not plan to get vaccinated hasn’t budged....

Soundly dismissing the conventional wisdom about the jury, Knox says in “The Private Diary of an O.J. Juror” that he thinks Simpson is guilty of the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman. More to the point, he thinks the current jurors will convict Simpson. And in a fascinating dissection of what must be history’s most dysfunctional jury, Knox says it was indeed a hotbed of racial animosity-but not in the way people think....

Saadawi knows the dangers. She’s been writing for half a century, and her fierce critiques of Egypt’s political and religious establishments have meant she’s been sacked, imprisoned, featured on Islamic militants’ death lists and exiled. Earlier this spring, Egypt’s mufti said that Saadawi’s remarks to a Cairo magazine “ousted her from Islam.” In a wide-ranging interview with the Cairo news magazine El-Midan, she allegedly said that hajj, or pilgrimage, was “a vestige of pagan practices....

A few journalists warned of the decision’s “chilling effect” on news gathering, but they should be more worried about making dumb deals with cops. This case started in 1992 when a Secret Service agent invited a CBS crew from the now defunct “Street Stories” news magazine to go along on a raid of a Brooklyn apartment in a search for credit-card fraud. While agents, armed with a warrant, searched the home of Tawa Ayeni, the CBS crew freely videotaped....

That hadn’t been the line a few days earlier, when VW still thought it had a chance of beating back GM’s charges that Lopez illegally brought along a trunkload of GM trade secrets when he jumped ship last March. “I don’t see a peaceful end to this,” declared Piech, who has insisted that VW still stands by Lopez. “We’re in a mudslinging battle, and we intend to do what’s necessary to win....
