A rich, soothing oil is highly effective on most outward signs of illness and fatigue

There’s a plague over my house. I’m ill while I look after an ill child, and the last thing on my mind is the prettification of anything, least of all my face. But I do mind that everything feels sore, dry, rough, my nose is flaky and red, my cheeks are tight and grey, my lips are chapped. And it’s during times of ill health that I invariably turn to facial oil. When one has neither the energy nor the inclination to do much more than lie with a hot-water bottle wedged into the foetal bend while a poor-quality, made-for-TV biopic flickers in the background, a rich, soothing, calming oil, rubbed haphazardly into the face, is just what the doctor ordered.

The Chelsea manager thought his team dominated at Anfield, created the better chances and were unfortunate to concede Mohamed Salah’s 10th league goal of the campaign before Willian levelled in the 85th minute.   Jürgen Klopp admitted they made the game difficult for Liverpool and he “could live with a point against Chelsea”, although he was not happy with the referee, Michael Oliver, and the manner of the late equaliser. Conte, who made five changes to the team who beat Qarabag in the Champions League on Wednesday, said: “I think we played in a really good way. We had a good tactical plan and it was difficult for Liverpool to make chances to score. It was a tactical decision, especially in the first half, to be very solid and then to try to be dangerous in possession.  The game changed in the second half.

Armed attackers killed 305 worshippers in a bomb and gun assault on the packed mosque in Egypt's restive North Sinai province, in the country's deadliest attack in recent memory. (AFP Photo) CAIRO, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- The death toll in a terrorist attack on a mosque on Friday in Egypt's North Sinai has risen to 305 killed, including 27 children, and 128 others were wounded, state news agency MENA reported on Saturday. "The attackers of the mosque were carrying Islamic State (IS) flag," MENA quoted the statement of the country's general prosecutor as saying. "Some 25-30 militants have gunned down the worshippers while performing the Friday prayer," it added. The attack took place after the mosque's preacher started his speech, when the terrorists threw bombs from the windows and doors of the mosque, besieging the worshippers inside, the statement said. Later, some masked men, carrying black flags reading "There is no God but Allah and Mohamme

تستهلك عملية تعدين عملة بيتكوين الرقمية المشفرة مزيداً من الكهرباء أكثر من مجمل استهلاك 20 بلداً أوروبياً معاً، وذلك وفقاً لبحث جديد نشره باحثون من المنصة البريطانية لمقارنة أسعار الطاقة  Power Compare ، حيث يوضح البحث بأن الحجم الكلي للكهرباء المطلوبة لتعدين العملية الرقمية ذات الشعبية، وهي العملية الحسابية التي تحافظ على سير المعاملات ضمن سلسلة الكتل، يفوق الآن استهلاك أكثر من 159 دولة فردية. وحصل الارتفاع المستمر في سعر العملة الإلكترونية المشفرة على مجمل اهتمام الصحافة مؤخراً جنباً إلى جنب مع ظهور العديد من النقاشات حول ما إذا كان هذا السعر عبارة عن فقاعة قابلة للإنفجار أم لا، بينما غاب عن معظم تلك الأخبار أحد العوامل الأكثر إثارة للاهتمام والبعيد عن السعر وهو الزيادة العالمية في استهلاك الطاقة الكهربائية المستخدمين من أجل تعدين المزيد من عملة بيتكوين. وتشمل القائمة، من بين دول أخرى، على ايرلندا وكرواتيا وصربيا وسلوفاكيا وايسلندا، ومن المثير للاهتمام معرفة وجود ثلاثة بلدان فقط من مجمل قارة أفريقيا تستهلك حالياً مزيداً من الكهرباء أكثر مما تستهلكه عملية تعدين بيتكوين هي جنوب أفريقيا
