In the medical community, the term is reserved for significant or severe bleeding, which may be life-threatening. Bleeding can occur from any body orifice, such as the mouth, ears, or anus, but can also occur from trauma such as a deep cut. Taking blood thinning medications, such as coumadin or heparin, can increase the risk of bleeding significantly, making it difficult to control bleeding if the wound or problem is significant....
In July, CBSSports.com reported that Henderson’s suspension came from a failed drug test, an assertion that seemed to be corroborated by former NBA player Chris Herren. Herren, who wrote a book about his drug addiction during his playing days, said he reached out to Henderson. "I want to thank Coach (Andy) Kennedy, (athletic director) Ross Bjork and the university for giving me an opportunity to rejoin the team," Henderson said in Tuesday's statement....

Types of Hepatitis B Of the adults who get the Hepatitis B virus, 95% clear the virus and do not go on to have the chronic form of the disease. Some people have few symptoms or none at all, so many do not realize they have HBV or that they have had it. Many adults will clear the virus completely within six months. The good news is that the protective antibodies produced while fighting the infection mean that people who have had it will never have to worry about HBV again—they will be immune....
For the majority of these women, hot flashes are an inconvenience and nothing more. But about 10 to 15 percent of women have severe hot flashes so frequently that they have trouble sleeping at night and making it through the day without a shower and a change of clothes. Until a few years ago, the most widely prescribed remedy for hot flashes was estrogen. However, in 2002, a huge federally funded study called the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) found that women taking a combination of estrogen and progesterone had a higher risk of heart disease and breast cancer....
She probably played only a minor role in last week’s government shake-up. According to her friends, Dyachenko shared her father’s view that the prime minister, Viktor Chernomyrdin, was becoming entirely too presidential. Tatyana doesn’t shrink from high-level firings. The turning point of the 1996 presidential campaign came when she helped persuade her father to sack several Kremlin hard-liners, including his unpopular chief bodyguard and drinking buddy, Aleksandr Korzhakov, who reportedly wanted Yeltsin to cancel the election....
So there really are two Fiona Shaws. One is the superb classical actress who over the last decade has given acclaimed performances in Sophocles “Electra,” Brecht’s “The Good Person of Sichuan,” Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler” and many Shakespearean plays, winning three Olivier Awards (England’s Tonys) in the process. The other Shaw is the daredevil who’s calmly stated that “I want to change the face of the British theater.” Actually, you can throw in a third Shaw, the one who’s appeared in an oddball array of movies including “My Left Foot,” “Mountains of the Moon,” “Three Men and a Little Lady,” “Persuasion” and “Super Mario Brothers” (during which she organized Shakespeare readings for the cast at her rented beach house)....
Since Biden has taken office, the U.S.-Mexico border has faced a historic migration wave that has seen U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) report over 2.1 million migrant encounters and the seizure of over 854,000 pounds of drugs. Heading into 2022, Biden has allocated nearly $16.29 billion to CBP, up from the roughly $16.28 billion given to the agency in 2021 and the $16.5 billion the agency received in 2020....
But all of the proposals that the Democratic-led committee plans to debate—background checks, “red flag” laws and a ban on high-capacity magazines—will need bipartisan support to even be considered, much less passed, by the GOP-controlled Senate. In addition to examining several potential policies, the committee said it will hold a hearing September 25 to “address the dangers posed by assault weapons.” “There is more that we can and must do to address the gun violence epidemic....
While only a handful of Pokémon will be able to Mega Evolve when the update goes live on Thursday, there’s a long list of Pokémon from across the generations that have the ability to undergo this transformation that some Pokémon Go players may not know about. Mega Charizard (both X and Y), Blastoise, Venusaur and Beedrill will be available in Pokémon Go initially, but trainers looking to get a more powerful Pokémon that will eventually Mega Evolve, they may want to start looking now....
The latest salvo in the push to move or delay the 2022 games slated for Beijing comes from an American congressional committee set up to observe China’s human-rights practices. Committee officials say that relocation would serve as a sanction for the country’s alleged forced labor practices that have been increasingly tied to America’s growing solar power industry, and to products and materials used in sneakers, mobile phones, TVs and other consumer products....
The U.S. intends to distribute 2.9 million of the 6.4 million available doses of Pfizer’s vaccine during an initial round of nationwide deliveries, followed by another 2.9 million doses later this month. The vaccine is given in two installments. Alex Azar, secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services, said individual shipments will be sized based on states’ per capita adult populations. Vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna, respectively, emerged as the country’s leading COVID-19 immunization candidates this year....
Critics have seized on the White House’s early reluctance to invoke the full measure of the law’s authorities, which range from providing financial incentives to overriding and directing operations at private businesses. In response to a question about more aggressively employing the DPA to compel production of personal protective equipment (such as face masks, gowns and gloves) in short supply, President Donald Trump initially objected, saying in late March that “we’re a country not based on nationalizing our business....
While Big Brother has been known for casting diverse contestants in the past—even though the previous few seasons have been slammed by fans for casting choices—there are a few requirements that all applicants must meet. The application, which can be found here, states a few non-negotiables. First, the requirements outline that the potential candidate must be willing to travel to and from Los Angeles for the casting process. This travel must be funded by the applicant....
The international online film festival will kick off on YouTube from May 29 to June 7. All programming will be free for audiences to stream. It will encourage viewers at home to donate to the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, along with local relief partners in various parts of the world. We Are One’s lineup will include feature-length films, shorts, documentaries, music, comedy and conversations. New material as well as classic fare are expected to stream during the virtual film festival....
Most of us who will never have the means to donate money in the millions, which means any charity would be able to accept, process and utilize our gift. As a result, most Americans are likely not aware of the massive amount of pledged money that goes unused or unspent because so many organizations are not able to take a multi-million dollar pledge and spend it effectively. That, of course, is not for lack of trying....
While gamers debate over which to put on their sheff — Xbox Series X or the PlayStation 5 — for most, it’s almost always about the games over the hardware. While there will be updates and upgrades made to the user interface, tech and more for both consoles, it comes down to what disc you’re slipping in or downloading to the hard drive. As is custom with new-gen releases, there’s not a whole lot new or original with both consoles dropping this week....
The league has tried to shut down handshakes and spitting in order to curb the spread of COVID-19. Wrestling, then, is a big no-no. So, it was obvious Laureano would get a substantial suspension for rushing the Astros on Sunday after being hit by a pitch and taunted by Houston hitting coach Alex Cintron (who got a 20-game punishment for his role). What surprised many fans is that Laureano’s ban was six games — shorter than that of Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly, who threw behind and over the head of Astros hitters earlier this year but did not get physical with them....
“The stimulus funds should be viewed as a way to lessen one’s financial stress, not as a windfall,” says financial planner Nick Hofer, president of Boston Family Advisors. The emergency pandemic relief package, dubbed the American Rescue Plan, still faces significant hurdles on the path to becoming law. Several moderate Republican lawmakers have expressed reservations, suggesting it will be tough to get the 60 votes needed to pass in the Senate, given its current even split between GOP and Democratic members, though with some procedural maneuvering, a slim majority might be enough....
