WASHINGTON: Presumptive Democratic US presidential nominee Joe Biden has been speaking regularly with former rival Elizabeth Warren on public health and economic relief ideas as he crafts more ambitious proposals aimed at helping Americans through the coronavirus crisis. While Warren, a US senator from Massachusetts and prominent voice on the Democratic Party's left, criticised the former vice president's approach on the campaign trail before dropping out and endorsing him, Biden advisers said the two see eye-to-eye on a number of issues. In recent weeks, for example, Biden has endorsed Warren-backed ideas like cancelling some student debt to help financially strapped Americans and echoed her calls for "structural change" in an economy ravaged by the pandemic. Biden is poised to challenge Republican President Donald Trump in the Nov 3 election. Warren is thought to be on Biden's short list of possible vice presidential running mates along with Senators Kamala Harris and Amy … [Read more...] about As Biden crafts US coronavirus response proposals, Warren has his ear

Craft-beer aficionados relish the endless flavor variations that can be achieved by mixing and matching different varieties of hops, whether one favors refreshing citrus or fruity notes or something a bit more earthy or pine-scented. But some of the chemical compounds that contribute to those flavors are present in such trace amounts that it's difficult for brewers to measure and track them during the brewing process. Now German scientists have devised an automated, efficient method for doing just that, according to a recent paper published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. As we've previously reported , all beer contains hops, a key flavoring agent that also imparts useful antimicrobial properties. (Without them, beer spoils quickly.) Brewers mash and steep grain in hot water, which converts all that starch into sugars. This is traditionally the stage when hops are added to the liquid extract (wort) and boiled to give the beer that hint of bitterness. During the … [Read more...] about Craft brewers now have a new tool for sniffing out trace flavor compounds

With Calamity Jane , writer/director Rémi Chayé explored the origin story of the legendary American frontierswoman of the same name, digging into her childhood and the ways in which she defied the gender conventions of her time. Produced by Maybe Movies , the French-language animated adventure picks up with the young Martha Jane Cannary in 1863, as she’s traveling with her family up to Oregon. Along the way, her father is badly injured, and conflict emerges when she strives to assume responsibility of her caravan.

LONDON: Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters could have been excused feeling a little sceptical when Nuno Espirito Santo was unveiled as their latest new manager three years ago. He was, after all, the third manager in 10 months employed by new Chinese owners Fosun. He was tasked with restoring the Midlands club back into the Premier League after departing in 2012. Wolves had just finished 15th in the Championship under Paul Lambert and were going nowhere fast. The day Espirito Santo walked through the door, however, might just be the most important in the club's recent history. This Saturday, Wolves host Arsenal in what will be the 46-year-old former Porto boss's 150th game in charge. Win it and they could move level on points with third-placed Leicester City in the Premier League and the truth is few people would be surprised Espirito Santo, born on the island of Sao Tome and Principe, had a spell playing under Jose Mourinho at Porto. To Wolves fans he is already … [Read more...] about Wolves flying high as ‘Nuno’ prepares for 150th game
