Edouardo Jordans Restaurant Staff Quits After Sexual Misconduct Allegations – The New York Times

Most of the staff at two restaurants run by Edouardo Jordan, an acclaimed chef in Seattle who has been celebrated with some of the industry’s top awards, quit on Sunday after an investigation by The Seattle Times surfaced 15 allegations against him of sexual misconduct or unwanted touching. The two restaurants, JuneBaby and Salare, were closed on Sunday after the staff departures, according to The Seattle Times. A representative of Mr. Jordan confirmed on Monday that nearly all of the employees at both restaurants had resigned. Attempts to reach Mr. Jordan by phone and email on Monday were unsuccessful. The representative said in an email that Mr. Jordan was “taking a step back” and “in a deep state of remorse for the pain he has caused former coworkers and restaurant staff.” The Times i...

CDC suspends import of dogs from countries with high rabies risk – CNN

The decision will affect dog rescue missions, imports from dog breeders and people bringing in pets, the CDC said. It's because of a combination of factors -- the pandemic, a lack of facilities for quarantining dogs safely and three recent incidents of infected dogs that were brought into the country, the CDC said. "This suspension applies to all dogs, including puppies, emotional support dogs, and dogs that traveled out of the United States and are returning from a high-risk country," the CDC said in a statement. "This action is necessary to ensure the health and safety of dogs imported into the United States and to protect the public's health against the reintroduction of canine rabies virus variants (dog rabies). The suspension is temporary and will be reviewed periodically." Rabies is...

Lab-Leak Theory: Kristian Andersen On His Fauci Email and Covid Origins – The New York Times

Among the thousands of pages of Dr. Anthony S. Fauci’s emails released recently by BuzzFeed News, a short note from Kristian Andersen, a virologist at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif., has garnered a lot of attention. Over the past year, Dr. Andersen has been one of the most outspoken proponents of the theory that the coronavirus originated from a natural spillover from an animal to humans outside of a lab. But in the email to Dr. Fauci in January 2020, Dr. Andersen hadn’t yet come to that conclusion. He told Dr. Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, that some features of the virus made him wonder whether it had been engineered, and noted that he and his colleagues were planning to investigate further by analyzing the virus’s genome. The researchers pu...

Jessica Biel worries her sons will want to be musicians like dad Justin Timberlake: ‘The bar is high’ – Yahoo Entertainment

Jessica Biel and husband Justin Timberlake were showbiz kids, but that doesn't mean they're keen on their own sons — Silas, 6, and 11-month-old Phineas — following in their footsteps. "My knee-jerk reaction is: Oh, god, no. Please no," Biel, 39, said on Monday's Armchair Expert podcast. "But then I look at these kids and I'm like: Oh, sh*t. They're probably going to be musical. What are you going to do — not let them play the piano? Or not let them take a voice lessons if that's their passion?" Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake with Silas. They welcomed second son, Phineas, last summer. (Photo: Jessica Biel via Instagram)The actress and producer talked about her parents letting her pursue her showbiz dreams — and a little show called 7th Heaven made her a star. Of course, Timberlake h...

Lordes outfit from the “Solar Power” video is back on sale after going viral – The A.V. Club

A prettier JesusScreenshot: UMG Lorde has risen from her hiatus and blessed us with new music, debuting her first new song since Melodrama, “Solar Power,” last week. The memes and discourse surrounding the song has been inescapable, as expected. So, even if you haven’t watched the music video for the track yet, chances are you’ve seen pictures of Lorde’s outfit. Her sunny, yellow beach co-ord was screencapped thousands of times on social media because Lorde makes yellow—a color that isn’t really a go-to for most people—look incredible. Much like how Jason Sudeikis’ Golden Globes hoodie became a coveted item, so has Lorde’s beach ensemble. Now you can look like a prettier Jesus, too. The Collina Strada set sold out immediately after the music video premiered, but it’s finally back in s...

U.K. May Delay Easing of Coronavirus Restrictions As Variant Cases Rise – The New York Times

LONDON — The news media call it “freedom day,” the fast approaching moment when England’s remaining coronavirus restrictions are scheduled to be cast off at last, allowing pubs to fill to capacity, nightclubs to open their doors and the curtain to rise in theaters around the country. But a recent spike in cases of the highly transmissible coronavirus variant called Delta has prompted such alarm among scientists and health professionals that the country now seems destined to wait a little longer for its liberty. For Prime Minister Boris Johnson, oft accused of doing too little, too late to combat the virus, the stakes are high. The question is not so much whether to postpone “freedom day” — June 21 — but to what degree. Four weeks seems to be the maximum under consideration, with some adv...

What to Know About the 5:2 Intermittent Fasting Diet for Weight Loss – menshealth.com

The popularity of intermittent fasting seems to only be picking up steam. It's not totally a surprise given the only rules, if you will, are about when you can eat, rather than what you can eat. The 5:2 diet is one of the many styles of intermittent that people are trying out for weight loss and overall health. While traditional diets tend to require calorie restriction around the clock, the 5:2 diet asks you to restrict for just two days a week. That means, during two consecutive days of the week, say, Monday and Tuesday, you consume 25 percent of your daily calories—600 calories per day for men—and the other five days, you eat normally, without restriction.
