As a result, it can be easy to fall for fraudulent health insurance schemes, where we think we are buying into something useful, only to learn later that we’ve been scammed by someone who never intended to help us pay for healthcare, and only intended to steal our hard-earned money. Further, if we do fall for one of these scams, we not only lose money, but it can actually have a negative impact on whether or not we get the care we need when we need it, and whether or not we are eligible in the future to obtain real health insurance....

Kitty litters are made with different materials, like wood shavings, crystals, and clay. As long as it’s an absorbent type of kitty litter, you can use whichever material and brand you’d like.

For super tough or old stains, switch between baking soda and dish soap....

Baking soda also helps regulate the pH level of the water in your washing machine, which can help reduce wear and tear and keep your laundry softer for longer. The vinegar helps remove residue and excess soap from your laundry, which can leave your clothes feeling clean and soft.

While baking soda and white vinegar can naturally soften your laundry on their own, they can also be combined to form a super effective and super simple fabric softener!...

Since you’ll be using this chat to message yourself, you may want to call it something like “Me” or “Self. ” However, remember that the person you added might see this name before you remove them from the group.

Press the start button on the handlebars. Turn the fuel line dial to the on position. Lift the choke valve near the front of the engine if you’re cold-starting the bike. Shift the bike into neutral. Turn the throttle 3 times if you have a 4-stroke dirt bike. Skip this step if you have a 2-stroke bike. Extend the kick starter lever (the kicker) on the side of the bike. Put your foot on the kicker and press down firmly....

The 988 number was established to address the growing suicide and mental health-related crisis care needs in the U.S., according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). In 2020, the Lifeline answered more than 2.1 million calls and over 200,000 chats. Officials said they hope the three-digit number will be easier to remember than the 1-800 number, making emergency mental health care more accessible. Alex Stavros, chief executive officer of Embark Behavioral Health, a U....

As the tabloid media scrambled for news of Taylor’s condition, her near-fatal accident focused national attention on a serious and growing problem on our highways–people who talk on the phone while they drive. Police, state legislators and local activists say that something must be done. And a handful of counties and municipalities have already enacted ordinances limiting the use of cell phones for drivers and at least 40 states are considering similar bills....

America’s eager consumers have long been the world’s buyers of first and last resort. But it seems unlikely that U.S. trade deficits will increase by the $50 billion to $100 billion a year necessary for this to continue. What happens then? Good question. A healthy trading system requires that countries be both eager exporters and importers. If nations don’t spend what they earn abroad–or if weak economies make them weak importers–then the trading system will founder....

Lakhdar Brahimi seemed weary just talking about his 10 days in Iraq. As the U.N. envoy relaxed for a stopover at his Paris apartment last weekend, he recalled that security problems in Baghdad had often kept him confined in the Green Zone, the heavily guarded Coalition headquarters. A lot of Iraqis “refuse on principle to go into the Green Zone,” he told NEWSWEEK. Those coming to see him often had to wait three hours to be searched....

“She’s my daughter!” he was yelling, his voice cracking with emotion. “She’s seventeen! You seduced a seventeen year old girl! You son-of-a-bitch!” The voice that answered him-calmly, smoothly-was also a voice I would never forget. Because it had whispered in my ear, lodged inside me, seducing me, too. He had the same impenetrable eyes as Gary Condit, the same measured, calculated responses, designed to be no response at all. Men like that are frighteningly similar....

The battle over partial birth has set off one of the fiercest political clashes since Roe v. Wade. The new law is the first to criminalize a specific abortion technique–and the first time Congress has stepped so squarely into the doctor’s office to outlaw a medical procedure. The measure bars “an overt act” that “will kill the partially delivered living fetus.” After an emotional final day of debate, even 18 senators who generally support abortion rights voted for the ban, which passed 64-34–a bipartisan win for abortion foes....
