“The President of Ukraine has been warned Russia will highly likely begin an invasion within 48 hours based on U.S. intelligence,” a U.S. official with direct knowledge told Newsweek. “Additionally,” the U.S. official added, “reporting from aircraft observers indicates Russia violated Ukrainian airspace earlier today, flying possible reconnaissance aircraft for a short period over Ukraine.” A source close to Zelenskyy’s government also confirmed to Newsweek that such a warning was received, but noted that this was the third time in a month Kyiv was told to prepare for imminent large-scale military action by Russian President Vladimir Putin....

The authors of the study, published in the American Journal of Transplantation, identified 71 Chinese medical journal publications dated between 1980 and 2015 describing cases in which the removal of the heart appeared to be the cause of the prisoner’s death. In these cases, the prisoners were supposedly braindead before surgeons removed their hearts. “Braindead” is a classification referring to someone who will never regain consciousness or start breathing on their own again without a ventilator....

Read on to learn about existential theory and how this therapy can help people. What Is Existential Theory? Existential therapy is based on existential theory. It states that the human condition is one of loneliness, life has no meaning, and death is inevitable. Despite this, existential theory also claims a human being has the free will to create a meaningful life. The 4 Existential ‘Givens’ Existential theory is the idea that there are four “givens” of human existence that cause inner anguish....

“I’d say at this point it’s 50-50 at best,” a source told the Washington Post. “I think it’s gonna happen eventually, just maybe not for next season. It seems to have lost momentum. It still could be revived for the March (owners’) meeting. But at the moment it doesn’t look good for next season.” MORE: Is the Combine’s 40-yard dash overrated? | Face of Packers’ NFC title game blunder picked up by Vikings...

Despite being held to a 0-0 draw by SPAL prior to the international break, Juve have a two-point advantage over their nearest rivals in the table with nine games to play. There could be a further twist in the tale when they go head-to-head in Turin on April 22, a game Trezeguet – a two-time champion during his time in Italy – believes will be pivotal in deciding the outcome of the title race....

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (Reuters) - A type of experimental vaccine that can be made in just a week and has protected mice against influenza, Ebola and Zika viruses may offer promise for quick responses to disease outbreaks in people, according to Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers. MIT scientists said their vaccines, still in early developmental stages, harness messenger RNA, a genetic material that can be programmed to fight any viral, bacterial or parasitic disease by provoking an amplified immune response in the body....

The Republican-majority state finalized its redistricting process last week, which happens every decade. However, it drew major criticism for the way it divided majority-Democratic cities so that the number of Republican-voting districts could increase. This type of supercharged gerrymandering is said by experts to be the result of fewer legal restraints and higher political stakes. “In the absence of reforms, the gerrymandering in general has gotten even worse than 2010,” said Chris Warshaw, who analyzed redistricting maps across the United States for decades as a political scientist at George Washington University....

The film studio said it would release a total of 17 movies in 2021, both in theaters (where possible) and on HBO Max, where they will be available for a total of 30 days after the initial release. “The Warner Bros. news is interesting because we have seen the one-off with Mulan on Disney Plus and a few others, but this is at a whole new level because you’re talking about a combined billion dollars worth of content,” Dan Rayburn, a digital media analyst at consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, told Lifewire over the phone....

It’s important to note that unlike services like Xbox Games With Gold or PS Plus, the games coming to Game Pass aren’t available all at the same time. Instead of all releasing on the first of the month, they’re spread out and have different release dates. Four new games are being added to Game Pass in June 2021, so here’s a breakdown of each game in the order they’re coming to the service....

The liver, adrenal glands, and bone are also common sites of metastasis. Unlike non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is divided into four main stages and several substages, extensive-stage is one of only two stages of SCLC (the other being limited stage). SCLC is less common than NSCLC, accounting for about 10% to 15% of all lung cancers. It tends to be more aggressive, growing rapidly and spreading quickly. Though extensive-stage small cell lung cancer cannot be cured and has a poor prognosis, it may respond to chemotherapy and newer treatments....

Dallas coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Elliott wouldn’t practice Wednesday and would only focus on rehab, but declined to say whether he thought the veteran would be able play Sunday. The 27-year-old running back has taken on a larger workload than last season as Dak Prescott’s absence forced the Cowboys to take on a more run-based approach. Elliott scored two touchdowns in the win over Detroit but averaged only 3....

That said, it seems that there was a reason Elliott had his share of struggles this year. He simply couldn’t get healthy while playing through an injury. 49ERS-COWBOYS: San Francisco survives wild ending Elliott revealed after the Cowboys’ 231-17 season-ending loss agianst the 49ers that he played through a partially torn PCL during the season. He couldn’t make the injury worse, so he opted to push through it. “I won’t need a procedure (in the offseason),” Elliott told reporters after the game, per the Cowboys’ official website....

The Flash star Miller, who is non-binary and uses the pronouns they/them, has faced a string of accusations in recent years, including assault and burglary. Amid continued allegations, the beleaguered screen star, 29, has broken their silence on the string of incidents, issuing an apology while also revealing they are receiving help. “Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,” Miller said in a statement to Variety....

Ezviz may not be a familiar brand but don’t discount it for that reason. The Mini 360 Plus is the second camera we’ve seen from the company (which is a sub-brand of Hikvision which is well known in CCTV circles). Amazingly, it’s cheaper than the Mini Plus but has more features. Chief among these is pan and tilt – the reason for the 360 in the name. It means the camera can rotate almost 360 degrees and tilt up and down for a complete view of a room....

Now that the fight is finally happening, I got the chance to catch up with Max “Blessed” Holloway ahead of his fight with Brian Ortega at UFC 231 thanks to Sony. What does it feel like to return to action in the UFC Octagon after a year away – what plans do you have for a better 2019? Holloway: I wanted to return to action a long time back but I had to stay in the gym and prepare to fight....

Throughout the conversation, the youngest-ever top diplomat of his nation discussed an array of issues, including the importance of amplifying the voices of developing countries on matters of international import, navigating the increasingly volatile rivalry between the world’s two leading powers and tackling the persistent threat of terrorism plaguing not only Pakistan’s own territory, but also across its borders. Bhutto Zardari, 34, is the millennial successor to a political dynasty that first saw his maternal grandfather, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, take the country’s helm in the 1970s as president and later prime minister before he was ousted and later executed in a military coup....

Take the case of a private jet that investigators now believe was used before the war by Saddam and his entourage. Months ago the United States got a tip that the jet, a Falcon 50, had turned up on the ground in Amman, Jordan. A check of the plane’s tail number, HB-IES, showed it was registered in the Alpine tax haven of Liechtenstein to a company called Aviatrans, whose director was a Swiss lawyer who for years had been on the radar of investigators tracking Saddam’s assets....

For the last couple of seasons, he has been leading the Kolkata Knight Riders, and his continuing the legacy left behind by Gautam Gambhir. With each step, he’s also building his own. In an exclusive chat on Sportskeeda’s #MindVoice, Dinesh Karthik spoke about a number of topics, ranging from his time at KKR, his most memorable moments, King Khan, and more.

The U.S. was scheduled as of Monday to officially withdraw from Manbij within 24-hours, leaving the mostly Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces behind as two rival factions—the Syrian government, backed by Russia and Iran, and the Turkey-backed Syrian insurgents opposed to it—sought to seize control of the strategic location. A senior Pentagon official told Newsweek that U.S. personnel, “having been in the area for longer, has been assisting the Russian forces to navigate through previously unsafe areas quickly....
