It was a celebration.It was a reminder that on a team chock full of superstar players, Aiyuk, the forgotten star, is as good — and as important — as anyone.In Sunday’s 27-14 win, he was the centerpiece of a 49ers passing attack that worked over Tampa Bay. The Niners receiver had the most prolific performance of any receiver in the NFL on Sunday by catching five passes for a career-high 156 yards and a touchdown.The touchdown was a 76-yard beauty from Brock Purdy, who said after the game that Aiyuk “deserves it, man.”“We’ve been wanting to get a deep one for him for a while, so [it] felt good.”And while Aiyuk is no charity case, it’s understandable that there was extra love for the receiver after the game.He’s having an absolutely monster year, but it hasn’t translated into touchdowns. Sunday was only his fourth score of the season, and j...

Un tribunal federal de apelaciones escuchará el lunes argumentos sobre si se debe restablecer una orden de silencio contra Donald Trump en el caso federal que lo acusa de conspirar para anular los resultados de las elecciones presidenciales de 2020.Los funcionarios junto con el equipo del fiscal especial Jack Smith instarán a un panel de tres jueces del tribunal de apelaciones con sede en Washington a restablecer una orden que prohíbe al expresidente republicano hacer declaraciones incendiarias sobre los abogados del caso y los posibles testigos.Los fiscales argumentaron que esas restricciones son necesarias para evitar que Trump socave la confianza en el sistema judicial e intimide a las personas que puedan ser llamadas a testificar en su contra.

Jordan Rau, KFF Health News | KFF Health News (TNS)Around the world, wealthy countries are struggling to afford long-term care for rapidly aging populations. Most spend more than the United States through government funding or insurance that individuals are legally required to obtain. Some protect individuals from exhausting all their income or wealth paying for long-term care. But as in the United States, middle-class and affluent individuals in many countries can bear a substantial portion of the costs.Here’s how five other countries pay for long-term care.JapanLong-term care insurance is mandatory for Japanese citizens age 40 and over, while in the United States only a small portion of people voluntarily obtain coverage.
