The study, published on August 14 in JAMA Network Open, shows that people who were considered obese at age 25 had a 54% decrease in mortality risk if they lost enough weight to be considered overweight—not obese—by middle age. According to Colleen Wysocki-Woods, MS, RDN, a registered dietitian who was not affiliated with the study, these findings benefit people of any age. “People who are obese may find it encouraging that losing just enough weight to move down to the overweight BMI classification may potentially help them live longer," she tells Verywell....

Ilyin, the men’s 94kg champion, and female lifters Zulfiya Chinshanlo (53kg), Maiya Maneza (63kg) and Svetlana Podobedova (75kg) all failed tests, the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) said on Wednesday. “I think we will be able to prove the complete absurdity and inconsistency of the allegations against me,” the 28-year-old Ilyin wrote on his Instagram page, describing the IWF announcement as “a thunderstorm on a sunny day”. Kazakhstan’s Weightlifting Federation said in a statement that while it was the responsibility of athletes to adhere to anti-doping regulations, it would help them appeal the charges....

While astronomers have thus far discovered over 4,000 planets outside the solar system, there has not been a good consensus on what types of material make up these worlds. In an attempt to discover this, and find out if these worlds resemble our planet, National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Noirlab astronomer Siyi Xu teamed with California State University, Fresno, geologist Keith Putirka. Their findings were published in the journalNature Communications....

Hiring rookies worked out just fine for those clubs. Phoenix and Atlanta are now hoping to reap the same benefits as the Celtics, Cavaliers and Warriors. The Suns introduced Igor Kokoskov on Monday, the same day that the Hawks welcomed fellow first-time head coach Lloyd Pierce to their franchise. And those moves followed Charlotte last week hiring James Borrego, whose only head-coaching experience was a 30-game interim stint. There are plenty of established head coaches who don’t have jobs right now....

Despite some reports of Elden Ring being review bombed, the game released to rave reviews with Metacritic labeling it a must-play. An open-world RPG from Dark Souls developer FromSoftware, Elden Ring players take the role of a Tarnished to explore the bleak world of the Lands Between. They will battle a variety of demigods on their quest to claim the titular Elden Ring, with their actions leading to one of six distinct endings....

Due to the fact that we (and many of the players) have never seen this course before and have zero course history to go on, I’m going to be targeting ball strikers, as they tend to be the most reliable in these situations. While Eagle Point isn’t the bomber’s paradise that Quail Hollow is, it is still long enough to give a slight bump to the longer hitters. It should be noted that Eagle Point is located near the coast, and we should see the winds get going during the week, so I’ll also be targeting players who gain strokes in the wind....

Lincoln rout buys Wenger time The Gunners were thrashed in each of their two meetings with the Bundesliga title holders, bowing out of the Champions League’s round of 16 after a humiliating 10-2 aggregate defeat. They responded by easing past Lincoln City 5-0 to reach the FA Cup semi-finals Saturday. But after that routine win at Emirates Stadium, attention returned to one of the worst results of Wenger’s tenure in north London, the Frenchman explaining the rationale behind sticking with many of the players who came unstuck against Bayern....

First-half goals from Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane saw Liverpool surge ahead before Danny Welbeck pulled one back after the break. Georginio Wijnaldum eventually made sure Liverpool emerged victorious with his goal well into stoppage time, but Wenger has suggested things could have gone differently had Emre Can been sent off in the second half after a strong challenge in midfield just minutes after receiving a yellow card for a foul on Alexis Sanchez....

Wenger’s 22-year stay at the club has only three matches remaining and Arsenal have given no clues about potential replacements for the Frenchman. Former captain Patrick Vieira and Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers have been linked with the post, and the 68-year-old clarified he will have no say over who the next person in the Emirates Stadium dugout is. “I’m not involved in that and it’s not my job. My job was to perform with the team and my job is not to choose my successor,” Wenger told Sky Sports ....

The long-serving Frenchman has spent over 21 years at the Gunners helm, with considerable success enjoyed during an iconic reign. Questions have been asked of his suitability to the job in recent years, though, with FA Cup triumphs papering over the cracks of Premier League decline. Wenger was, however, to earn a two-year contract in the summer of 2017 and is happy to continue letting others debate how long he has left in north London....

This week, we’re banking on some garbage time to help further pad the stats of high-upside, relatively cheap options at QB, RB and WR, as well as some breakouts from talented backs and a high-priced contrarian pick that could make or break the lineup. Hopefully we can come close to last week’s perfect DraftKings lineup, which featured at least a couple surprises. Week 3 Rankings:Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker...

Drew Brees, QB, Saints. Brees dissected the Bills on Sunday for 332 yards and a season-high five touchdowns with no turnovers. Brees’ fantasy performance narrowly beat out that of the Bengals’ Andy Dalton, who also threw five touchdowns against the Jets, Brees’ next opponent. Good luck, Gang Green. Speaking of Dalton, he has 11 touchdown passes in the past three games and is emerging as more than just a backup fantasy QB....

Bugs have been a common occurrence in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War as well as the hugely popular Call of Duty BR, Warzone, to the point where the community expects that a new update will lead to more game-breaking bugs. In recent weeks, developer Raven Software has been more forthcoming about issues within the game, and has done a better job at addressing bugs.

Grand Theft Auto 5’s visuals, quests, side missions, extra activities, characters, and environments are all very impressive, engaging, and dynamic, but the game is so vast with so many things happening at once that it is bound to have a few glitches. As long as these glitches don’t completely break the game, they don’t impede the player from moving forward in the story, or they don’t corrupt a save file, they are basically harmless....

RELATED: Cyberpunk 2077: Alt Cunningham Facts Most Fans Didn’t Know Their mods are far from the usual performance enhancements. While everyone else was busy improving the game in its messy state, other modders were putting their own odd and exciting touches to it. The result is Cyberpunk 2077becoming even more outlandish, just when you thought it couldn’t get any more broken. Updated October 2, 2022 by Sid Natividad: Cyberpunk Edgerunners was a huge hit and to cope with that depressing ending or to maybe appreciate the show better, modders have flocked to Cyberpunk 2077 to “improve” the game....

Safe to say, his first game back since missing nearly a month with tendinitis in his left wrist was a memorable one. MORE: NL’s best players 25 and under | J.

Now, Burrow has James’ admiration. The NBA superstar congratulated Burrow after the second-year quarterback led the Bengals past the Chiefs in a 27-24 thriller in the AFC championship game. Burrow called being tweeted by James “surreal,” and James doubled down by calling Burrow a generational talent. That link now prompts an interesting debate. If Burrow leads the Bengals to victory in Super Bowl 56 against the Rams on Sunday, would that be a more impressive accomplishment than when James rallied the Cavaliers from a 3-1 deficit against Golden State?...
