Working in this direction, Google is currently testing a smart contact lens that measures glucose levels in a person’s tears with the aid of a tiny wireless chip and a miniaturized glucose sensor that is sandwiched between two layers of soft contact lens material. The prototype is intended to act as an early warning for its wearer and Google is looking at the possibility of embedding tiny LED lights in the lens that could light up, indicating if glucose levels have gone up or below certain limits....

Campbell, who played 10 seasons in the NFL, inherits a 1-3 team that just dumped its coach of four years and is coming off a loss to the Jets in London. It’s also a team that has talent, but hasn’t found a way to make the most of that this season. After signing Ndamukong Suh as a free agent and re-committing to Ryan Tannehill, there was lots of promise going the season....

LaLiga clubs Villarreal and Getafe categorically denied any wrongdoing after reports in Spain suggested a game between the teams was part of a match-fixing investigation. Getafe and Villarreal drew 2-2 at Coliseum Alfonso Perez on May 18, 2019. It was the final match of the league season for both sides, one which Getafe needed to win to stand any chance of earning Champions League qualification. El Pais reported the contest was being scrutinised by police as part of Operation Oikos, which is probing an alleged match-fixing group that was profiting from betting on games....

Getting the drugs you need is one of the toughest obstacles in managed care. New drugs often offer major improvements for people living with chronic conditions, such as arthritis or depression. But because pharmacy costs have been going through the roof, health plans are eager to steer consumers toward cheaper, older medicines. To avoid paying for an expensive drug out of your own pocket, make sure you understand your health plan’s “formulary,” or list of approved drugs, and its rules....

Maxwell, 60, was found guilty on five of six charges related to conspiracy and sex trafficking for deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell now faces up to 65 years in prison for her crimes. A support website that is purportedly run by the “brothers, sisters, family & friends of Ghislaine Maxwell” states that “we believe wholeheartedly in our beloved sister’s innocence,” adding that the Maxwell portrayed in public and on the news was a “fictional one-dimensional character created by the media....

But on Saturday, Bennett ran into his first major challenge of the season. Facing No. 3 Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, Bennett performed well, completing 29-of-48 passes for 340 yards with three touchdowns. However, his second half was marred by a pair of interceptions, including a back-breaking pick-six in the fourth quarter, as the Crimson Tide routed the previously undefeated, No. 1 Bulldogs 41-24. Georgia is still likely in the College Football Playoff, all but certain to pick up the No....

Grady’s contributions to the state landed his name on a hospital, multiple schools and streets, and the statue characterizes him as an “orator,” “journalist” and “patriot.” Students agree that Grady made an impact on Atlanta, but as an advocate of white supremacy, they say, it’s important that people see the whole picture of his life, including the negative parts. “These monuments pretend that people like Henry Grady only did good things....

The fact is, Smashing Pumpkins rules alternative rock in 1996. And that’s a strange place for alternative rock to be. Ever since the genre broke through commercially in 1991, Corgan has been a kind of runner-up hero. In the tortured ““I hate myself, I want to die’’ category, he just couldn’t compete with Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, who did die, and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, who complained so tiresomely about his fame that one band, Oasis, publicly wished he’d die....

AP wrote that the dog inherited the trust from the late German Countess Karlotta Liebenstein. AP can find no evidence the countess existed, and is looking into other questions this story has raised. AP also erroneously reported that Carla Riccitelli is on the board that manages the trust. The original story is replaced with this piece, which looks at how the tale of a German shepherd and a trust has long been used as a publicity stunt to dupe reporters....

George Puscas’ first-half brace overturned Amiri’s excellent 21st-minute opener, but the tournament’s leading scorer Waldschmidt took matters into his own hands after the break. Having restored parity from the spot six minutes into the second half, the Freiburg forward stepped up to slot in a low free-kick in the final minute of normal time. Amiri then sent the holders through in style, curling home from a dead ball after Alex Pascanu picked up a second booking for a foul on substitute Lukas Nmecha....

Hummels was suddenly dropped from the national team in March, along with his then Bayern Munich team-mates Thomas Muller and Jerome Boateng. The centre-back subsequently rejoined Dortmund from Bayern and has been in fine form in the early weeks of the 2019-20 Bundesliga season. Low, though, has continued to leave Hummels out of his squad despite defensive injuries affecting his latest selection, with Freiburg’s Robin Koch called up for the first time....

Havertz has a bruised knee and needs to sit out training for the next few days, while Ruediger has groin problems, the German soccer federation said. Forward Marco Reus is also out as a precaution despite an MRI scan showing his knee was injury free. Reus played in all 10 of Borussia Dortmund’s games this season, nine for the full game. Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan and Freiburg forward Nils Petersen were already out with injuries....

The Tianjin Teda midfielder has been ruled out of the encounter with Adam Nawałka’s men due to work permit issue at his China base. However, the German tactician is confident that there are capable hands who can take responsibilities in the absence of the skipper to secure the desired result in the outing. “The only game we lost was against South Africa last year in June. So I hope this time will be better we have a team but we need a leader,” Rohr said in a pre-match conference....

Phones move fast and with the OnePlus 8T, the 8 series might seem really old but one-year is not that bad. With prices going up for the OnePlus 9 series, these deals seem even better with the OnePlus 8 at just £349 and the 8 Pro available for £649. Newer phones might have upgrades but we’re actually not overly impressed with the OnePlus 9 now at £629 and the OnePlus 9 Pro at £829....

There’s no catch here, you just need to be in the market for a brand new 8K TV from Samsung and you’ll get the Note 10+ 5G for nothing. It’s worth £899 making it one of the biggest deals we’ve seen this year. The regular version of the Note 10+ scored 9/10 in our full review with a Tech Advisor recommended award so it’s one of the best phones of 2019....

Many are looking forward to upcoming AC 2020, which most rumors point to being Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok (or some variation of the name befitting a Viking era game.) There’s plenty in the franchise to play in the meantime, especially with Ubisoft offering one of its most entries for free. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Avoids Its Own Time Period and Setting Teases Assassin’s Creed 2 is a classic and honored entry in the franchise, the very one that introduced the world to Ezio Auditore....

The Miami slugger is mired in the worst slump of his career through all 41 games this season. It was appropriate and expected that Stanton’s first at-bat on Sunday against Nationals ace Max Scherzer ended in his 59th strikeout of the season. MORE: Who will go No. 1 in the MLB Draft? Scherzer came into the game third in the majors in stirkeouts with 74. Stanton, somehow with his ridiculous total, came into the day behind four batters in that dubious hitting stat, second in the National League to only Rockies rookie sensation Trevor Story....
