Flooding has always been part of life in the Lowcountry. With much of the peninsula built on marshes reclaimed from the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, Mayor Henry Laurens Pinckney in 1837 offered a $100 gold coin to anyone who could solve the drainage problem. The Holy City kept flooding, and the mayor kept his gold coin. But starting in 2015, a series of punishing hurricanes changed the conversation completely. Not only was Flood Street, which runs through the city’s poorest housing project, underwater as usual, but so were the iconic Charleston single homes south of Broad, the heart of the city’s historic district, and those in the voter-rich suburbs....

Fortunately, the U.S. government is ramping up its scrutiny of China’s activities at American universities. The results of the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts have been crucial but troubling, revealing a nefarious campaign by the Chinese Communist Party. To make matters worse, the American people know very little about what China is doing. I decided to examine this urgent issue in this week’s episode of my podcast, “Newt’s World.” My guest is Andrew Lelling, the U....

This article will explain more about the diagnosis process for choriocarcinoma. Self-Checks/At-Home Testing There are no at-home tests available for diagnosing choriocarcinoma. It would be best if you went to a healthcare provider to get a proper diagnosis. However, you can do self-checks for symptoms at home that will help you talk about your condition with a healthcare provider. These self-checks are not a replacement for medical care and a professional diagnosis....

The standard of treatment for diabetic macular edema includes a combination of lifestyle modifications—including strict glycemic control through healthy eating and insulin or some other blood glucose–lowering medication—and intravitreal injections with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) medications and corticosteroids. Laser photocoagulation may also be used if the other treatments are not effective. This article reviews the various treatment options for DME. Home Remedies and Lifestyle Managing your type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes—that is, keeping your blood glucose level within a healthy range with a combination of diet, exercise, and medication—is the single most important way to prevent and minimize the development and severity of DME....

Just like the players themselves, some managers have better numbers than others. It’s difficult to measure the success and failure of some of those decisions, a manager’s success rate on replay challenges is readily available, thanks to Baseball-Reference.com. In some cases, it takes skill to know when to call for a replay. In other instances, it’s just pure, dumb luck for a call to get turned in a manager’s favor....

Moving into the office of any new job invariably induces an odd confluence of feelings that drags me right back to the first day of elementary school, but my latest move is particularly loaded with additional meaning and history as I settle into my office in George Washington Hall as the Head of School at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. While I was prepared for the combination of hopeful anticipation, a healthy dose of fear, real excitement, and mild anxiety, I was not expecting to confront conflict and personal consternation over the name of my new office building....

Is it a positive or negative association? When you look up the word “crypto” in the dictionary, you’ll find it’s derived from a Greek word that means “hidden.” Whether we know it or not, words carry a lot of power. So it’s not a surprise that cryptocurrencies have always had an air of mystique associated with them. Adding to the secrecy is crypto’s reputation for being the preferred mode of transaction for hackers....

Making fantasy football teams named with puns of Koo’s name has become popular since his rise as a pro kicker, but that ignores how good Koo is. Entering Week 8 of the 2020 NFL season, Koo has made 38-of-42 field goals since joining the Falcons, including a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond 50 yards. He’s also made 28-of-31 extra points for Atlanta, and he has a touchback percentage on kickoffs of higher than 50 percent....

The infection that the Naegleria fowleri amoeba causes is known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) and it has fatality rate of more than 97 percent. Thankfully, cases of this disease are extremely rare in the United States and other parts of the world where the amoeba is found. But only four people out of 154 known infected individuals in the U.S. from 1962 to 2021 have survived, Dr. Julia Haston, a medical epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told Newsweek....

This described Labour in the United Kingdom and the Democratic Party in the United States, both of which built powerful economic policy-based coalitions following World War II. In the UK, Labour established the National Health Service, a system of socialized provision of health care that went on to be so popular that conservative and left-wing governments alike declined to roll it back. Here in America, we saw the rise of the New Deal coalition, a vast confederation of voters that included labor unions, religious and ethnic minorities, and poor southern whites who had benefited from the New Deal’s sweeping interventions in the American economy....

“Omicron is so transmittable that you don’t want to take a chance,” Judith Flores, MD, a pediatrician and a fellow at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the New York Academy of Medicine, told Verywell. Flores said she encourages people not only to wear masks, but to be choosy about the type of mask they purchase and how it fits. Things like double masking and opting for surgical masks instead of cloth masks when possible are more important now in the presence of Omicron, she added....

Prescriptions Once you’re diagnosed with epilepsy, your healthcare provider’s first act will likely be prescribing anti-seizure medication (antiepileptic drugs) to control your seizures. Most people’s seizures can be controlled with just one medication, but some people may need more. The kind and dosage your healthcare provider prescribes for you will depend on many factors, such as your age, the type and frequency of your seizures, and other medications you’re taking. It can take some trial and error to find the best drug and dosage with the fewest side effects for you....

The report, based on whistleblower testimony, alleged that the Biden administration has politicized the FBI and Department of Justice, with the agencies unfairly targeting conservatives while turning a blind eye to left-wing misconduct and crime. The report claims that the FBI and DoJ has taken part in “rampant corruption, manipulation, and abuse” under Biden’s watch. The document, entitled “FBI Whistleblowers: What Their Disclosures Indicate About The Politicization Of The FBI And Justice Department” details allegations involving Joe Biden son, Hunter Biden, of “inflating statistics” about domestic violent extremism while ignoring acts carried out by far-left antifa activists, and makes claims of spying against former president Donald Trump....

Without telling Amy, I scraped together $700 to buy a business license and six unicycles. I’d been riding a unicycle since the age of 12, but quit four years later when I started driving. At 41, having gained a pound per year since high school, I was anxious to get trim. Diets didn’t work for me. I tried running but my hips protested. Swimming only increased my appetite. I took my old unicycle out of storage and rode about two blocks from my home, then had to walk it back....

Hollywood’s angst over depicting the attack on Pearl Harbor for the Japanese is nothing compared with Tokyo’s. For decades the country has agonized over how–and how much–to teach students about Japan’s role in World War II. On one side of the debate are Japanese educators–and some veterans–who believe children should learn the truth about all of Japan’s wartime deeds, including the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the use of Korean “comfort women” and the Nanjing massacre....

Leon Black announced this week that he would retire as CEO of Apollo Management following revelations that he paid Epstein the money between 2012 and 2017. However, law firm Dechert, which produced the report, found Black only let Epstein into his affairs because he had lied about his criminal past and because “numerous prominent figures” were still friends with him. Dechert’s investigation on behalf of Apollo found that Black had no links to Epstein’s criminal conduct....

The approval polling tracker at FiveThirtyEight—which takes a weighted average of the polls—is recording a steady downward approval trend for the pair. According to FiveThirtyEight, Harris has experienced a sharp decline in her approval ratings, with an updated average on April 21 that showed 58.1 percent disapprove of Harris compared to 32.1 percent who find her to be favorable, a -26 percent net rating. The sudden spike reflects an outlying April 18-20 poll carried out by the Trafalgar Group, a partisan pollster for the Republican party which FiveThirtyEight rates as A-, that found 63 percent of participants disapproved of Harris....

Modern princesses use their jewelry in a way that can pay homage to people or places, commemorate events or simply mark a sentimental attachment. No princess utilized her jewels to this end better than Princess Diana and she set an example which is being followed by her daughter-in-law Kate Middleton today. At the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey on Monday, Kate wore a collection of small sapphire and diamond jewels in the form of a necklace pendant and earrings....
