What Is a Pre-existing Condition? A pre-existing condition is any disease or health condition that was diagnosed prior to a patient applying for a new health insurance policy....
The dog was left outside of a veterinary hospital in Fresno at night, but the hospital was unable to care for her due to legal liability. Her former owners left a note attached citing a family emergency as the reason, and that they had no other option because they could no longer look after the canine. “I’m sorry,” they wrote. “Due to a family emergency, we cannot keep it. We love her but unfortunately we don’t want to dump her and her babies just on the street....
The remarkable detour was reported on Tuesday at a voting office in Orange County, Florida. According to Karen Briceño González, an employee at the county’s Supervisor of Elections Office, the unnamed woman’s husband arrived at the office requesting his wife vote in person while en route to the labor ward. “All of a sudden I get a voter in front of me and he hands me two driver’s licenses,” Briceño González told WKMG....
The unnamed woman posted her heartbreaking dilemma to Mumsnet under the aptly named username Darkestdays, as she offloaded her pain at learning her partner had been cheating on her. The mom, who has one son and another on the way, posted a thread in October, which has amassed more than 500 comments, most offering support and advice. The “heavily pregnant” woman explained: “My husband was fired last month for sexual misconduct and I’m the last one to know, only finding out the extent of it just today....
Expectant mother Andrea Prudente, 38, was visiting the Mediterranean island with partner Jay Weeldreyer, 45, when she suddenly suffered severe bleeding in her 16th week of pregnancy. She was given a drug to protect her against miscarriage, the Guardian reported, but two days later her waters broke. She was then admitted to a hospital in the town of Msida, where she was told that her placenta was partially separated and the fetus had no chances of survival....
In a post shared to the forum on October 11, user u/Local_Lab_2499 asked for advice on her own sibling spat. The 18-year-old explained that her older sister “Lily” is six months pregnant with her first child, and has recently moved back home after breaking up with her boyfriend. However, her sister’s “selfish and entitled” behavior led to a recent kitchen confrontation after she stole the poster’s dinner. When she complained, Lily responded by ruining her replacement meal, leaving her with no food....
In a post shared on Reddit’s Am I The A****** (AITA) subforum under the username Ambitious_Thing_440, the mom said both she and her husband work from home. Her husband starts work at 8.30 a.m. and sets his alarm for 7 a.m. every day but “never wakes up.” So his wife ends up hitting the snooze button herself every 15 minutes, as the alarm wakes her up. One morning, the user told her him that she must have “accidentally hit” the off button, instead of snooze, on the alarm, which saw her husband be late for work....
In a study published in the journal Scientific Reports, an international team of researchers say this is the first paleo-shark nursery to be discovered. It was found during an assessment of great white shark teeth at three locations across South America. These all date to the Pliocene Epoch, between roughly five and 2.5 million years ago. They had not been specifically looking for a great white shark nursery, but noticed one site appeared to have a large proportion of teeth from young sharks....
One of the rarest types of marine animals, North Atlantic right whales once were plentiful in the waters of New England where they come to feed and mate in the springtime. The whales slowly began to vanish after the commercial whaling era due to the high oil content in their blubber. In 2019, the North Atlantic right whale population number was at 366 and fell to 336 in 2020, the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium said....

This is about as long as England — and the world, for that matter — has lived without its foremost soccer league since it launched in 1990. By comparison, last year’s scheduled offseason lasted 88 days, from Championship Sunday on May 12 to Liverpool FC’s opening win on Aug. 9 over Norwich City. The last game played in the Premier League before the shutdown that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic was a 4-0 Leicester City victory over Aston Villa....
Manager Sam Allardyce’s side followed up Saturday’s dramatic 3-2 win over Chelsea with a 3-0 victory against Everton on Wednesday to move an unassailable four points clear of the drop zone with one game to go.

The heavy snow that made travel either impossible or risky for many fans, and stopped two games earlier in the day, looked set to claim the headline clash, too, but was held off by the roof on Ajax’s stadium. It did, however, seem to get the better of PSV who, despite their red-hot form this term, were frozen stiff at times. After a frosty first half that consisted of more fouls and fights than real football action, goals from David Neres, Lasse Schone and Donny van de Beek fired up De Topper and the battle for first place....
While perhaps he should have reacted quicker for Mohamed Salah’s goal, Lloris more than made up for it after. The keeper made six saves at Wembley, including a spectacular second-half stop on Philippe Coutinho, conceding just one goal from Liverpool’s seven shots on target. BRUNO SALTOR | BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION Bruno had more touches than any other Brighton player in the dominant 3-0 away win against West Ham (63), and also made three interceptions for the Seagulls....
This profile clashes with Biden’s decision last week to commit U.S. foreign aid to funding abortions overseas—a reversal of the ban on using taxpayer funds for that purpose enacted by Donald Trump and every Republican president before him, starting with Ronald Reagan. Asked on Inauguration Day if Biden would lift the ban, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said to stay tuned but reminded reporters that Biden is a “devout Catholic” and regular churchgoer who started the first day of his presidency by attending mass....
Trump apparently was watching his favorite (and we use that word loosely) cable TV network, CNN, and came upon James being interviewed by anchor/reporter Don Lemon. MORE: NBA players salute James for opening school in Akron The president’s review? That’s some NBA All-Star pettiness right there. And, yes, this is personal for 45. Recall that James called Trump a “bum” in a 2017 tweet after Trump uninvited the NBA champion Warriors to the White House because Stephen Curry decided he wouldn’t attend....
In a more rational time, the answer to that question would be obvious. But we’re not living in rational times. So President Donald Trump’s memorandum, signed on Tuesday, which attempts to at least minimize the harmful effect of including people who are here illegally in the Census—for the purpose of reapportioning congressional representation—was predictably met with howls of protest and lawsuits filed. Very few things in life are zero-sum, where one person’s gain is offset by a precisely corresponding loss to someone else....

It is now known that breastfeeding can help protect an infant against many conditions, including infection, diarrhea, SIDS and juvenile diabetes. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies be breastfed for the first year of life. There is evidence that breastfeeding may also help protect against a baby developing IBD. The Evidence for Breastfeeding Several studies show that people with IBD—Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—were more likely to not have been breastfed as infants....
