All Mathieu Darche has to do as new Islanders GM is fix everything
If you had to sum up how the Islanders operated under Lou Lamoriello, a perfect case study would be Lane Lambert's hiring in 2022. Over a weeklong coaching search, there were next to no leaks. The Islanders announced the news themselves, while the Rangers were in the middle of a playoff series, and held a Zoom call with Lamoriello and Lambert the same day. Lambert's camera was turned off. That was the Islanders. Low-profile, no pomp and circumstance, no push to get fans behind the latest move — be it a coaching hire, a trade or (as was often the case) a quiet trade deadline. Advertisement The team's social media presence since Mathieu Darche was hired on Friday — replete with a video of Darche calling a season-ticket holder, pictures of the new GM stopping by the team's office and pictures of him outside the locker room at UBS Arena — would fall under the category of block-and-tackle stuff for most, if not all, other teams.

London police arrest five protesters attempting to disrupt production of Israeli actor Gal Gadot's new film
Five anti-Israel protesters were arrested Wednesday for disrupting the filming of Gal Gadot's new movie 'solely because an actress involved in the production is Israeli,' according to London police. The five, who have not yet been identified, included three who targeted the set of Gadot's upcoming film 'The Runner' in Westminster, close to Big Ben and Parliament, on Wednesday, London's Metropolitan Police said. 3 Gal Gadot is currently filming 'The Runner' in London. Click News and Media / BACKGRID Advertisement Two others were arrested and charged for previous chaos on the set. All five were charged with harassment and obstructing access to a workplace. 'In recent weeks, protesters have disrupted filming at various locations across London,' the Met police said. 'They have done so solely because an actress involved in the production is Israeli.' Advertisement All five were charged them with harassment and obstructing access to a workplace. Gadot, 40, has been supportive of Israel since war erupted with Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, which has led to death threats. The actress revealed earlier this year she was 'shocked by the amount of hate' she received after speaking out after the surprise Hamas attack, in which 1,200 Israelis were killed. 3 A demonstrator in London held a sign calling the actress 'trash.' UnBoxPHD / Advertisement Before accepting her star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame in March, Gadot's ceremony was interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters, who held up signs reading, 'Heros Fight Like Palestinians,' 'Viva Viva Palestina' and 'No Other Land Won Oscar.' The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel has previously called for the boycott of Gadot's films for supporting Israel in its campaign in Gaza, the BBC reported. Superintendent Neil Holyoak, who oversaw Wednesday's arrests, said while authorities acknowledge the right to peaceful protests they must 'intervene where it crosses the line into serious disruption or criminality. 3 Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted filming at various locations in recent weeks, London police claimed. UnBoxPHD / Advertisement 'We have been in discussions with the production company to understand the impact of the protests on their work and on any individuals involved,' Holyoak said. 'I hope today's operation shows we will not tolerate the harassment of or unlawful interference with those trying to go about their legitimate professional work in London,' he added.

Using this ‘inclusion strategy' can help you lose weight — and means you get to eat dessert
Goodbye, sundae scaries! Junk food tastes so delicious, but these cravings frequently sabotage diets because they lead to overeating and weight gain. Now, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have found a way that you can have your cake — and eat it too! They determined that following a nutritious meal plan that allows for small amounts of tempting treats can reduce cravings and spur weight loss. 4 Junk food tastes so delicious, but these cravings frequently sabotage diets because they lead to overeating and weight gain. aldarinho – 'If you are eating and snacking randomly, it's very hard to control,' nutrition professor and study author Manabu T. Nakamura said. 'Some dietary programs exclude certain foods,' he added. 'Our plan used an 'inclusion strategy,' in which people incorporated small portions of craved foods within a well-balanced meal.' Research indicates that food cravings — often triggered by stress, sadness or boredom — tend to decrease with weight loss. Nakamura's team wanted to investigate whether reduced cravings correlated with greater weight loss and whether these changes lasted well after meeting weight-loss goals. 'Cravings are a big problem for many people. If they have a lot of cravings, it is very difficult to lose weight,' Nakamura said. 'Even when they are able to control their cravings and lose weight, if the cravings come back, they regain the weight.' 4 Food science and human nutrition professor Manabu T. Nakamura (left) and then-graduate student Nouf W. Alfouzan studied the effects of craving reduction on weight loss. Fred Zwicky Researchers recruited 30 obese adults with conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. The volunteers answered questions about their cravings for hot dogs, desserts, pancakes and chips every six months. Using a scale of 1 (never) to 6 (always), participants rated themselves on statements such as, 'Whenever I have food cravings, I find myself making plans to eat' and 'I have no willpower to resist my food cravings.' Researchers used the scores for the 15 statements to calculate the intensity of their cravings. 4 Research indicates that food cravings — often triggered by stress, sadness or boredom — tend to decrease with weight loss. innatyshchenko – To learn how to deal with these desires, participants took 22 online nutrition sessions devised by the university's Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning. They were instructed on how to select nutritious food while minimizing calorie intake. Researchers tracked their progress by having dieters weigh themselves every day before breakfast. Twenty-four people completed the 12-month weight-loss program, dropping an average of 7.9% of their starting weight. 4 Twenty-four study participants completed the 12-month weight-loss program, dropping an average of 7.9% of their starting weight. Getty Images/iStockphoto More than half said they used the inclusion strategy to manage cravings — some as often as three times a day. Those who utilized the technique reported weight loss greater than 5% and consistent reductions in the frequency and intensity of their cravings, especially for sweets and high-fat foods. Of the 20 people who finished the subsequent year-long weight maintenance program, the average weight loss was 6.7%, which included any regaining of weight. The findings, published recently in the journal Physiology & Behavior, suggest that diminished food cravings after weight loss are more strongly tied to a decline in body fat than to the negative energy balance created by dieting. 'This basically debunks the hungry fat cell theory, a longstanding hypothesis that fat cells become starved for energy and trigger cravings, causing dieters to eat and ultimately regain what they lost,' Nakamura said. 'That is not the case. As long as you stay at a healthy weight, your cravings will remain low.'
