But now, policymakers in Washington want to change that core principle of American law. According to a new study written by leading antitrust expert Koren W. Wong-Ervin, proposals in Congress “would protect inefficient companies from market forces—a development that could lead to higher prices for consumers.” There are numerous problems with this approach, with high risks of unintended consequences. First, these bills would permit less efficient competitors to bring lawsuits against America’s most innovative companies, even if there’s scant evidence that consumers are being harmed....

After Fox & Friends aired an image of Ocasio-Cortez at Border Patrol facility in Clint, Texas, from Monday along with the chyron “AOC makes explosive claims about Border Agents,” co-host Brian Kilmeade went on a tirade comparing the packed detention facilities without enough bathrooms to a much lighter scenario. “Picture yourself, you have a house, family of five, you have a party, you have 30 people over. Maybe you have a big party, you have 100 people over and you have two-and-a-half baths,” Kilmeade said....

As a mixed-race woman from a working-class background and a fellow survivor, her admission means the world to me. As a child, I guarded a terrible secret for over a decade. Like many survivors, my perpetrator, a distant relative, threatened me into silence. So I carried the burden of childhood sexual abuse alone. It was a weight so heavy that I thought it would crush me. As a teenager, I used to rehearse my “disclosure speech” in the mirror, certain that when the moment came, I would speak out....

It didn’t take long for New York City Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to attack the NFL team for the post, saying if the team really wants to help change social justice, it should start by looking into a mirror. “Want to really stand for racial justice?

If you or someone you know is expecting a baby with Apert syndrome or you are just looking to learn a little more about this condition, it is always helpful to equip yourself with the knowledge of the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment, and coping. Symptoms Babies with Apert syndrome have certain skull bones that fuse together prematurely in utero (before birth) causing a condition known as craniosynostosis. This early fusion prevents the skull from growing like it should and affects the shape of the head and face....

This article discusses how to locate and interpret the apical pulse. How to Check Apical Pulse Other pulse sites are felt by placing the finger over a medium or large artery. The apical pulse, on the other hand, is a more direct way to feel the pulse, since you can directly feel the left ventricle’s contraction at this site.

So, Herk and Karen and Peter and Amy–consider the possibilities. Which writer John Patrick Shanley (“Moonstruck”), adapting Michael Criehton’s 1980 best seller, does, along with the director-producer team Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy, longtime colleagues of Steven Spielberg’s. Crichton-Spielberg-Kennedy did “Jurassic Park,” the King Solomon’s mine of movies. “Congo” is not in that league. Behind the computers, the satellites, the lasers and the special effects that make the volcano erupt and the lost city of Zinj get lost again, lurk all the African cliches....

Suddenly, Thoi heard the loud staccato of automatic-weapons fire and the dull thud of exploding hand grenades. The noise was coming from the direction of his village of Vinh Xuan. Frightened, Thoi hid in the fields for the rest of the day, only daring to return home around dusk. When he got to the village, what he saw was horrific: homes were smoldering, and sprawled in great pools of blood on the ground were the lifeless bodies of at least 15 people–among them his wife and three of his four children (10 and 8 years old and a 4-day-old)....

WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called the approval “a historic moment.” And on Wednesday, WHO recommended the vaccine be given to children across the continent in hopes of spurring the stalled efforts to curb the spread of the disease. “Today’s recommendation offers a glimmer of hope for the continent, which shoulders the heaviest burden of the disease.

I, for one, used to love the first day of April when I attended elementary school. I would paint the whoopee cushion to match the chair that belonged to my fourth grade teacher, Miss Steenie. I swear that flatulent noise echoed across the classroom when Steenie sat down. This doesn’t work for a lot of reasons these days. You can’t go to Party City to buy gags because its stores are temporarily closed, due to the lockdowns....
