It is natural for toenails to get thicker with age, but thick toenails may be caused by other factors, including fungal infections, autoimmune conditions, or mechanical stresses, such as from poorly fitting shoes. This article discusses the appearance of thick toenails, common causes, and some treatment options. Signs of Thick Toenails For most adults, toenails are 1–2 millimeters thick.

Thiem produced a stunning first-set performance to take the opener without losing a game but fell victim to a Nadal fightback. The Austrian was able to force a decider after dropping sets two and three, but a tight tie-break went the way of Nadal, the defending champion moving on to a semi-final with Juan Martin del Potro courtesy of a 0-6 6-4 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (7-5) triumph. Nadal holds an 8-3 record in his head to head with Thiem, having also prevailed in the pair’s meeting at Roland Garros as the Spaniard claimed an 11th French Open title....

The Football Association are seeking a permanent replacement for Sam Allardyce, whose tenure was cut short after just one game in charge of the Three Lions. And while Wenger’s Arsenal contract expires at the end of the season, Henry — who played under his countryman for eight years and worked alongside him while coaching the Gunners’ youth team, believes that the 67-year-old should remain in club football. “You can never say never, but I don’t see it happening,” Henry told AFP....

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry believes the club has lost its core values and is being run more like a business than a football team. He told The Telegraph: He continued: The Premier League club wrote an open letter to their fans last week to apologize, while also announcing their withdrawal from the ESL. Arsenal owners not looking to sell club Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke’s son, Josh, was in attendance at a fan forum event on Wednesday where he answered many queries from fans....

That assumption is consistently backed up liberal think tanks like the Brennan Center for Justice that provide intellectual backing for the idea that the very notion that large-scale cheating happens, or is even possible, is a figment of Trump’s imagination. But a startling report published by the New York Post this past weekend should give pause to those who take it as a given that any mention of the issue is Republican disinformation....

UNDERWOOD: How did you develop this plan? BECK: It’s based on cognitive therapy, which my father, Dr. Aaron Beck, developed in the 1960s as a treatment for depression. Since then, CT has also been used for anxiety, substance abuse, insomnia and many other problems. It helps you recognize and change self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. I began using it for weight loss 20 years ago with several psychiatric patients who also wanted to lose weight....

Electing to bat after winning the toss, England lost opener Haseeb Hameed (9) before skipper Alastair Cook (27) and Joe Root (15) took them past the 50-run mark. But the hosts quickly turned it around with three quick wickets of Cook, Root and Moeen Ali (16) just before the lunch break to put the visitors on the backfoot. Stumper Jonny Bairstow (20) and Ben Stokes (5) were at the crease when the umpires called for lunch....

Before getting his hands on the Batman franchise and expanding his scope, Nolan directed Following, his micro-budget debut about the consequences of a writer stalking strangers for inspiration; Memento, a masterfully crafted nonlinear psychological thriller about an amnesiac man’s search for his wife’s killer; and Insomnia, a cat-and-mouse chiller about a serial killer’s reign of terror in the town of Nightmute, Alaska. Like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, Croupier is a moody neo-noir with a brooding antihero, intimate stakes, and smart subversions of genre tropes....

Reddit u/mariannabe posted a photo of their adorable gerbil looking very closely at a gerbil replica of the Mona Lisa on community r/aww Sunday, and it has since gained a whopping 135,000 upvotes. The couple did not reveal their gerbil’s name but did post an adorable photo of the tan creature admiring the artwork. To the left of the gerbil seems to be an animal-centric recreation of Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss” in recreated, bite-sized glory....

Of course, Grand Theft Auto and other games like it lend themselves well to fans using contemporary music as a means of expression in fan-made content, as the assets are somewhat rooted in modern culture and reality. That said, From Software’s strange and spooky action-RPG franchise Dark Souls is so far from the state of things as they actually exist that when paired with pop music, the results are equally bizarre, yet oddly cheerful....

The story of Ironheart focuses on Riri Williams, who essentially continues the legacy of Iron Man with the help of her own genius-level intellect. In the comics, Riri’s best friend Natalie passed away long before she became the hero Ironheart. But her memory lived on thanks to Riri’s creation of the artificial intelligence N.A.T.A.L.I.E., which took the form of her lost friend. Working together similarly to how Tony Stark and J....

The United manager was squarely under pressure heading into the clash at Old Trafford following a 4-0 hammering on his return to Chelsea at the weekend and a negative reaction to his tactics which led to the 0-0 draw with Liverpool six days prior. Add in his self-confessed issues with his current living arrangements in Manchester, and a clash between the city’s two giants could hardly have come at a worse time....

Both films would be nominated for Academy Awards. Firth earned a nomination for Best Actor in 2010 and Michael Shannon earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 2017. Nocturnal Animals features an all-star cast with a stunning and rather haunting reminder that the past can always influence the present, no matter how much time has passed.

With horror fans looking for some gory TV shows to watch, one Canadian show took on the task of filling that hole. It’s an anthology series, structured similarly to American Horror Story in the sense that every season has the same actors playing different characters in a totally new story that viewers can get immersed in. The show is called Slasher, and it certainly lives up to its name. While it may not necessarily be a “good” show, it nails its horror elements making for a really fun viewing experience....

It’s a tantalizing fantasy. And, indeed, futurists are full of grandiose predictions about metropolises turning into ghost towns as Americans ““travel’’ to HQ via the Information Superhighway. Roughly a decade of experimentation, however, has shown that leaving the office for good has some unpleasant drawbacks. In fact, our flirta- tions with telecommuting have served mostly to accentuate what’s useful about offices and illuminate how we may use them in the next millennium....

The Mets have surprisingly been one of the more active teams this offseason, picking up Anthony Swarzak, Jay Bruce and now, Adrian Gonzalez. On paper, the Gonzalez signing looks like a reasonable pickup: A-Gon could make for a good bench bat and back up whoever the Mets roll out at first base while playing for the league minimum salary. Except for one small detail: Gonzalez isn’t backing anyone up. Mike Puma reported Tuesday that Gonzalez appears to be the Mets’ pick for starting first baseman in 2018....
