Causes and Risk Factors Burkholderia cepacia is a group of bacteria found naturally in wet soil and decaying plants. In the past, we used to believe that the strains of B. cepacia found in the environment were not the same as those found in people. Recent studies have proved just the opposite, confirming that the bacteria can be spread by contact with infected individuals as well as contaminated surfaces. B. cepacia rarely affects people with healthy immune systems....

The Lions will head into the midweek clash seeking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win their last five encounters since February 2012. Burnley returned to winning ways in the Championship as they steamrolled Wigan Athletic 5-1 on home turf last Saturday. They were previously on a four-game winless run in the league, picking up three draws and losing once since their 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town in July’s league opener....

Things aren’t much different here at the University of Mississippi than they were at my Christian preparatory school. Though Ole Miss is officially non-denominational, the campus has a very Christian feel. Bible studies are a dime a dozen here. Churches and thirteen Christian student organizations compete with fraternity parties for turning out large crowds. Hundreds of Bible-clutching students routinely gather in Oxford to watch a guitar-wielding worship leader carry a contemporary Christian tune....

While the announcement from The Business Roundtable (BRT), a lobbying organization that represents some of the country’s largest corporations, offers a significant redefinition of how corporations view their social role, it currently exists as an aspirational statement rather than a plan of action. On its face, the statement signaled a notable shift and explicitly nodded to corporate social responsibility. Its text conveyed presented a re-calibration away from shareholder primacy that has defined the Business Roundtable’s mission since 1997....

The World Cup winner was on the books at AC Milan at the time, with a pre-season friendly date taken in at Camp Nou in August 2010. ‘Pirlo would have been Man Utd great’ The game ended 1-1, with Barca prevailing on penalties, but the outcome meant little to either team. Now Manchester City boss Guardiola was not overly concerned about the result, but he did go out of his way to track Pirlo down after the final whistle....

Aside from the already-revealed 24 martial arts events scheduled for the next twelve months all across Asia, ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong also revealed a handful of other events that ONE Championship fans should look forward to this year. “For the 1st announcement of 2019, I am excited to reveal that ONE Championship will throw a total of 45 events for this upcoming year,” ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong revealed....

After researching more about Pitchford, my opinion soured. The CEO of Gearbox has a long history of shady behavior that sounds more like a parody than real life. A lawsuit filed in January claimed that Pitchford pocketed an estimated $12 million of Gearbox funds meant for company employees. In one truly unique incident, Pitchford left behind a USB stick full of important company documents and barely-legal porn at a Medieval Times....

The 49ers are blessed with two other hard-to-cover players in wide receiver Anquan Boldin and tight end Vernon Davis. But their passing game has hit a different gear with Crabtree by restoring quarterback Colin Kaepernick to the confident, effective passer that took them all the way to the Super Bowl last season. Coming back from the torn right Achilles’ tendon that caused him to miss 11 games, the 49ers didn’t rush Crabtree back into being the No....

In their latest appearance, the No. 1 Crimson Tide beat No. 4 Cincinnati 27-6 in the Cotton Bowl on Friday to advance to their second straight CFP National Championship Game. They will face No. 2 Michigan or No. 3 Georgia for the title on Jan. 10. No team has found more success in the CFP than Alabama since the format’s inception in 2014. Sporting News dives into the numbers to show how dominant the Crimson Tide have been....

In his 250th game in all competitions for Bayern Munich, Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring against the visitors in the third minute with a close-range finish. In doing so, the Polish striker equalled his best Bundesliga scoring streak of 5 games for Bayern for the third time in his career, following similar runs in 2016-17 and 2018-19. Lewandowski’s eighth goal of the season in five games marked the first time in 19 years that a player has scored in each of the first five rounds of the German top-flight since another Bayern player, Carsten Jancker, did so in the 2001-02 season....

Bungie recently admitted something interesting that would have brought about the return of Master Chief instead of the fall of Reach. That’s right folks, the idea of a fourth Halo was being tossed around by Bungie before they even thought about doing the prequel, Halo: Reach. Brian Jarrard, Bungie’s community director, is the one who spilled the beans to MTV’s Multiplayer Blog about considering Halo 4 before eventually deciding to go the prequel route....

Risking the wrath of militant carnivores, Burger King restaurants across all of Sweden will be switching some of their normal Whopper and Crispy Chicken burgers with their new meat-free Rebel Whopper and Rebel Chicken King burgers if purchased from their 50/50 menu. When ordering off the new menu, customers will randomly receive either the plant-based alternatives to the original Whopper or chicken burger or the original meat ones. Burger King Sweden said there are no discernible differences in appearance of the burgers and is confident people will not be able to tell which is which even after tasting it....

And he points out that those minorities need as much help as they can get—and a great deal more. While the world has been outraged by the Burmese junta’s recent crackdown on monks and civilians protesting peacefully in big cities like Rangoon and Mandalay, away from the spotlight the people in the ethnic enclaves have been enduring the generals’ persecution for decades. And for 10 years from their base in northern Thailand, Tha-U-Wu-Pa and his Free Burma Rangers have been slipping past Thai patrols and eluding heavily armed, trigger-happy Burmese Army units in order to bring emergency medical care and other assistance to people in the Shan, Karen, Karenni and Arakan ethnic states....

Chelsea finally broke a run of draws with a 4-0 win over FC Krasnodar in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Hakim Ziyech had an outstanding game for his first Chelsea start, and will look to rack up a few wins now to put the points on the board. Chelsea were circumspect and really didn’t have enough attacking threat about them in their last league game - a 0-0 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford....

Now the end is in sight. The U.S. Federal Reserve last week raised interest rates for the first time in four years, signaling the close to an unprecedented era of cheap money. The lowest borrowing costs in four decades have fueled spending on everything from stocks to cars, but no market has benefited as much as housing, and none will feel the pinch of tight money more sharply. Rising house prices were fueled worldwide by the reckless prosperity of the late ’90s, but also by the caution that followed....

With the release of Bus Simulator 21, Astragon has now confirmed that Mercedes-Benz is back. That means that bus drivers will once again have the opportunity to drive some of the nicest buses in the world. Both the Mercedes-Benz Citaro and CapaCity bus lines will be included in the bus, as will two new eCitaro licensed buses. The standard 2-doored, 12-meter-long eCitaro, as well as the 3-doored, 18-meter-long eCitaro G....

The now-viral Reddit post, titled, “Just gonna leave this here, pinkos,” has been upvoted 14,800 times since it was posted on April 4. The post features an image of a business flyer shared to the subreddit “Antiwork” by Redditor @upstatestruggler. According to Bankrate’s Job Seeker Survey for August 2021, 55 percent of workers in the United States who are employed or looking for work claim it’s “likely” they’ll search for new opportunities in employment over the next 12 months....

Iniesta unforgettably fired Spain to World Cup glory in 2010 with an extra-time winner against Netherlands in Johannesburg – a side that may have similarities to this current group. The defending champions failed to make it past the group stage at Brazil 2014, meaning one of the greatest players of this generation has one more shot at global glory before beginning the next chapter of his career with J.League club Vissel Kobe - even if he has not entirely ruled out continuing at international level....

Yes, that means this week’s new release Watch Dogs 2 will also qualify for this sale. Picking up last week’s Dishonored 2 along with Watch Dogs 2 in this sale would run you a grand total of $95.98, which is $24 cheaper than buying each separately online for $120 (pre-Black Friday anyways). You can checkout a full list of the deals here, and we have a few suggestions on what to buy:...
