London — British tabloids reported Sunday that Catherine, the Princess of Wales, was spotted in public for the first time since she disappeared more than two months ago for what Kensington Palace said was an unspecified abdominal surgery and recovery. The sightings, one of which was later depicted by a grainy video clip, came amid ongoing controversy over Kate’s well-being and whereabouts.
The Sun tabloid newspaper said Kate was seen at a farm shop near her family’s home in Windsor, west of London, on Saturday, quoting onlookers as saying she appeared “happy, relaxed and healthy.”
On Monday, the celebrity site…

Pasta is quick to cook, handy to keep in the pantry and an easy solution for the times when you’re not sure what to make for dinner. But because pasta is high in carbohydrates — and therefore, some people think, bad for your weight and your health — it often doesn’t make it onto the menu.
“Pasta isn’t serving its reputation as a fattening food,” says Erin Morse, the chief clinical dietitian at UCLA Health Center. Nor are carbohydrates in general. In a 2018 study in the Lancet,…
A late proposal to fully expand Medicaid received a surprise hearing in a Senate committee Thursday but was narrowly defeated, with the chairman who allowed the hearing casting the decisive vote to shelve it.
And negotiations also wrapped up Thursday evening over a high-profile health care bill that was seen as a potential host for a full Medicaid expansion add-on. Instead, that bill ended where it started last month: with a commission that will look at ways to expand health care coverage.
The whirlwind of developments Thursday seemed to shut the door on any lingering Medicaid expansion talks for this…

London — Catherine, the Princess of Wales, announced in a video message released Friday that cancer was discovered following her January abdominal surgery and she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy on the advice of her medical team. The announcement came after months of widespread speculation about the 42-year-old princess’ health and controversy over doctored images released by Kensington Palace.
Kate said that the cancer was discovered during tests conducted after her surgery, which had gone well. She did not say what kind of cancer it was or share additional details about her diagnosis.

Emergency response to an unfolding crisis
In 2015, Iraq witnessed a humanitarian crisis resulting from the Islamic State’s takeover of large parts of Ninawa, Al-Anbar, Salahaddin, Kirkuk, and Diyala governorates, and the war that followed to restore governmental control. More than 4 million Iraqis are estimated to have been displaced at that time and forced to seek refuge in other areas of Iraq. This came after a massive influx of refugees fleeing the civil war in neighboring Syria that erupted in 2011.

I’m an auntie to several amazing nieces (ie, nieces and nephews) and I’m a researcher for the News Literacy Project, a nonpartisan educational nonprofit.

Growing up, my parents would snap open big print newspapers in the morning, passing finished sections to each other while sipping coffee. Our car rides, when not scored by my dad’s chaotically eclectic music taste, often…
