Niamh McMillan, Superdrug’s pharmacy superintendent, said impetigo is an extremely contagious bacterial skin infection that appears as red sores or blisters, usually on the face.

Life expectancy, a fundamental measure of a population’s health, is an estimate of the average number of years a baby born in a given year might expect to live, given death rates at that time. For decades, U.S. life expectancy rose at least a little bit almost every year, thanks to medical advances and public health measures. In 2021, life expectancy fell to just under 76 1/2 years. In 2024, about 3.07 million U.S. residents died, about 18,000 fewer than the year before. Deaths from unintentional injuries — a category that includes drug overdoses — fell the most, dropping more than 14% in 2024.

Plaintiffs are seeking a class action lawsuit on behalf of people who purchased Costco’s rotisserie chicken in California and across the country. Costco’s famed $4.99 rotisserie chicken is under fire in a proposed class action lawsuit claiming that the big box warehouse falsely advertised that its birds were preservative free.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON, Jan 28 (Reuters) - ICE officers in Minnesota were directed on Wednesday to avoid engaging with “agitators” as they carry out President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, according to internal guidance reviewed by Reuters. “DO NOT COMMUNICATE OR ENGAGE WITH AGITATORS,” said an email disseminated by a top ICE official. ALL TARGETS MUST HAVE A CRIMINAL NEXUS.”AdvertisementUnder former President Joe Biden, ICE officers were required to focus on serious criminals, but the Trump administration rescinded that policy, allowing officers to arrest non-criminals without restrictions. ICE officers can run license plate checks for possible targets and should make an arrest if the registered owner of the vehicle is an immigrant with a criminal history, the guidance said. ICE will run the Minnesota operation with Border Patrol in a support role, it said, a reversal after months of Bovino-led clashes in city streets.

Kelly Mahoney, a white woman who said she was rejected by the UCLA medical school because of her race, is also a plaintiff. In a statement, UCLA medical school spokesman Phil Hampton said that UCLA does not comment on pending litigation. Advertisement“UCLA’s medical school is committed to fair processes in all of our programs and activities, including admissions, consistent with federal and state anti-discrimination laws,” Hampton said. The government’s filing uses anonymous quotes from admissions officials published in the Free Beacon, a conservative news site, as evidence in alleging that the medical school has used race in admissions.

You know what’s not cute anymore? ILLIT’s “Not Cute Anymore” came out a couple of months ago. I also hear it as a little bit of a pointed rebuke to how a lot of girl groups are framed in K-pop. And maybe it’s a bit of a broadside in the ongoing K-pop war between NewJeans and their parent label, Hybe. Oh, I’m home.

For them, he is not only the “America first man”, but also the hope of all orthodox evangelicals, a “man of God,” a “messenger of God.” [1]72% of American evangelicals support their president's policies. ‘Then you should be happy about President Trump’, I hear again and again. Donald Trump is no beacon of hope for the followers of Jesus in the world; if anything, quite the opposite. And some are already doing so, like one of his most ardent supporters, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, who turned away from Trump because she wants to follow Jesus, and Trump does not [4]. She is right about this: Trump does not follow Jesus.

This is chaos created at the top, and felt in so many of our neighborhoods.”“What ICE is doing state-sanctioned thuggery,” he added.
