Best Bet of the Day  

NFL: Kansas City Chiefs -2.5 over Philadelphia Eagles (-110)
8:15 pm ET, ESPN

This is a rematch of last season’s Super Bowl and a potential preview of the upcoming one. Of course, Monday’s contest won’t be played at a neutral site. This one is at Arrowhead Stadium, and home-field advantage should serve the Chiefs well. They haven’t lost at Arrowhead this entire season. They are 7-2 overall and 7-1 since losing in Week 1 at Detroit. There isn’t a current quarterback in the NFL who can be trusted to deliver in a big Game more than Patrick Mahomes. By regular-season standards, this is most definitely a big Game. It should also be noted that Kansas City’s defense is also much better than it was a season ago. Look for the home team to win by at least a field goal. Read our full Eagles vs Chiefs predictions.

Stat of the Day 

Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy is out with a back injury, so Jonas Johansson will once again be starting on Monday against the Bruins and he has a 3.40 goals-against average and a 0.894 save percentage this season.

Quote of the Day 

“(With a) losing streak like this, there’s urgency for sure. Any time you lose this many in a row, there’s a problem you have to fix. And you don’t want to develop a losing mentality at any stretch in the season. That’s a stink in the locker room you don’t want to have in there.“

— Stephen Curry of the Warriors, who will try to end a 6-game skid on Monday night against Houston

Joyce Tsang of Stone & Star on Self-Care and Setting Intentions for the New Year

Image
Joyce Tsang, the founder of Stone & Star, shares her self-care routine and tells Prestige why 2024 is the year of ceremony, celebration and new rituals. This year is an eight-year in astrology, which is all about abundance and expansion. There’s a shift happening this year that will never happen again in this lifetime and it’s Pluto moving into Aquarius. And if you subscribe to feng shui, all the masters will tell you we’re entering a new 20-year cycle. Either way, it’s almost like a rebirth for everyone. It also fits nicely with the Year of the Wood Dragon too, which is all about building a foundation and growth. This is the Year of Ceremony for me. There’s so much around this word, it could mean a public ceremony, like a marriage, or it could mean an inner ceremony and setting new rituals. The most important thing to remember this year is to treat life as sacred and to celebrate life and to embrace all the joys and magnificent experiences tha...

'Parrot fever' outbreak in 5 European countries kills 5 people

Image
An outbreak of a respiratory infection that most often affects birds has killed five people in Europe, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns. During 2023 and the start of 2024, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands have reported an "unusual and unexpected increase" in cases of so-called parrot fever, beyond what's been seen in previous years, the WHO said in a statement Tuesday (March 5). In all, the illness has affected almost 90 people, with five deaths reported among them.  Parrot fever, or psittacosis , is caused by a species of bacteria called Chlamydia psittaci (also spelled Chlamydophila psittaci ) . The bacteria can infect many mammals — including dogs, cats and horses — but most often infects birds.  Humans can catch psittacosis by inhaling airborne particles containing C. psittaci , but human-to-human transmission of the disease is very rare , with only a handful of cases ever reported. Instead, most people develop psittacosi...

Untrained bystanders can administer drone-delivered naloxone, potentially saving lives of opioid overdose victims

An onlooker – even one without prior training – can successfully administer naloxone to an overdose victim within about a minute of a drone delivering the lifesaving opioid reversal agent. That’s the key finding of my team’s newly published study. Naloxone is also known by the name brand Narcan. The study involved 17 participants responding to a simulated overdose . Each simulation included an un trained participant who portrayed a bystander , a box of naloxone deliver ed by drone , a mannequin as the overdose victim , and a panicked observer. The latter added a sense of urgency by continually shouting at the bystander throughout the simulation. Via a video playing on a screen carried by the drone, the bystander received instructions on how to use the naloxone, which is administered as a nasal spray. We timed each participant on how long it took them to correctly give the medication during this crisis moment. Our trial revealed that the average time for someon...
