With a birthday cake in hand, well-known Dominican Republic comedian Carlos Sánchez recounted in an Instagram post how 25-year-old Winifer Núñez Beato died in 2021 after doctors on the island refused to end her high-risk pregnancy because of the country’s total abortion ban.Núñez Beato left behind a husband and a young daughter.

They made headlines for their fancy RV camps and the Black Rock City airport for private planes.But, in recent years, it seems many of the most notable billionaire Burners have ditched the festival. As of Friday afternoon,…
Ruben Amorim couldn’t watch.Bruno Fernandes was about to take a penalty in the seventh minute of stoppage time that could well determine Amorim’s future as Manchester United manager, and it was too much for the Portuguese coach who has had the weight of the world on him this week.So, he slid into his seat in the dugout, put his crossed feet up on the wall in front of him, and looked into the sky. Amorim just listened as Fernandes converted the spot kick to seal a 3-2 win over Burnley at Old Trafford on Saturday.Who knows, it might just be…

It would seem to be…

It’s the start of a new school year, and like the start of every new school year, parents and caregivers are scrambling to download school-mandated apps. (Or struggling to remember how to log in to ones from last year!)It’s hard to keep track of everything — especially if you have multiple kids. You might say, it’s hell!For my kids, I have three mobile apps and two website-only programs. At least that I can count so far. They’re for things like figuring out bus pickup timings, notifying the school about days off, and keeping parents informed about grades and special events.All…
A silent heart disease risk factor may explain why some women end up having heart attacks and strokes despite seeming like they are healthy, a new study suggests.The analysis of 30 years of data from more than 12,000 women revealed that inflammation was comparable to high LDL cholesterol as a heart disease risk factor, researchers reported Friday at the European Society of Cardiology Congress meeting in Madrid. The results were simultaneously published in the European Heart Journal.Measuring inflammation is not a standard part of screening in the United States and there are no outward signs that a person may have…
