Brady marched the Buccaneers (12-4) down the field on nine plays , zipping a pass to Grayson — who was elevated from the practice squad — for the go-ahead score. It was Brady's third TD pass of the game and 40th of the season, joining him with Drew Brees as the only players to throw for 40 touchdowns in consecutive seasons. He finished 34 of 50 for 410 yards, the three TDs and an interception for Tampa Bay , which had Arians back after he tested positive for the coronavirus earlier in the week. Le'Veon Bell ran in the 2-point conversion against his former team , forcing New York to need a touchdown. But the Jets (4-12) ran out of time. The game featured the largest age gap between starting quarterbacks since at least 1950, with the 22-year-old Wilson facing the 44-year -old Brady. The Jets took a two-touchdown lead on Ty Johnson's 1-yard run that capped their opening drive of the second half. After Brown's exit and Brady...

Can gaming ‘addiction’ lead to depression or aggression in young people? Here’s what the evidence says:

Can gaming 'addiction' lead to depression or aggression in young people? Here's what the evidence says: A Victorian coroner has  cited  problematic gaming behaviour as the driver of a mood disorder which contributed to the 2019 death of regional school boy Oliver Cronin. The findings from Coroner Paresa Spanos's investigation were released on Wednesday.

In the weeks preceding his death, Oliver was also involved in physical altercations with other students, which resulted in two short suspensions from school. So what ca...

Dry fruit”

This paper is based on a scientific workshop, convened on 7 June 2018 at the Kings Fund, London, UK to explore key scientific issues relating to dried fruits. Dried fruits have been part of the diet for thousands of years as a means of preserving seasonal fruits and as a tradeable commodity. Key issues identified at the outset were the lack of consensus and general confusion over the definition of dried fruit, equivalence of the portion size to fresh fruit, and on account of dental health, whether dried fruit is suitable as a snack or should be restricted to meals. The key scientific aims were to explore the evidence base for the potential contribution of traditional dried fruits to public health, identify gaps in the evidence, and establish priorities for further research. The following is a summary of the main topics covered in the workshop, followed by a report of the round table discussion (titles of the presentations and related speakers are listed in "Acknowledgm...
