And if you're juggling multiple prescriptions, you may have a special way of storing your meds to keep track of which ones to take, and when.

Read on to find out which storage method could raise the risk of side effects—and why you shouldn't stop using it if...

Andrea Mitchell (Andrea Mitchell Reports, MSNBC) discusses the origins of 'The Birther Movement' with Ben Smith (Politico Sr. Political writer) in 2013. Ben Smith traces 'The Birther Movement' to Hillary Clinton supporters when she was losing to Barack Obama in 2008. Andrea Mitchell appears somewhat flustered and shaken by this revelation and tries to tie it to Donald Trump and Republicans.

14:29 Joe Biden’s pick for the vacancy on the US supreme court, Ketanji Brown Jackson, has the backing of almost half of American voters, according to a Politico poll released Tuesday.

By LIZ O'RIORDAN FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY PUBLISHED: 18:01 EDT, 26 March 2022 | UPDATED: 03:11 EDT, 27 March 2022 The first time I saw CPR being performed was on TV. I was in my teens – it was probably the American medical drama ER. Maybe it was Casualty. There would always be a frantic scene of a medic pumping away at a patient whose heart had stopped. Someone would rush in with defibrillator paddles. Someone else would yell 'CLEAR!' Years later, as a fledgling doctor working on a crash team on hospital wards, I got to see it...

Who Represents You? Biblically speaking, salvation means one thing. It is Jesus Christ becoming a part of your life. Not just any part of your life, but the part of your life that does for you what you cannot ever do for yourself…stand before God, blameless, and no longer due the penalty you owe for sin. Are Christian people perfect? No, far from it. In fact, their sin is worse than most Christ less people since they know the truth, and choose to sin anyway. Whereas, for a person without Christ in their life, their spiritual nature IS to sin....

WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who will be nominated for the Supreme Court, worked for seven years as a judge on the federal trial court in Washington, D.C., before Biden appointed her to the appeals court that meets in the same courthouse.

The gravesite of Mordechai and Esther An exchange of letters dating back to the year 1968, on display now in the National Library in honor of the upcoming festival of Purim, shows that representatives of Iranian Jewry sought to purchase the gravesite of Mordechai and Esther in the city of Hamedan, in western Iran, and that the Shah was amenable to their request.

...When combined with military exercises and Russian officials’ public statements, this evolving doctrine seems to indicate that Russia has potentially placed a greater reliance on nuclear weapons and may threaten to use them during regional conflicts. This doctrine has led some U.S. analysts to conclude that Russia has adopted an “escalate to de-escalate” strategy, where it might threaten to use nuclear weapons if it were losing a conflict with a NATO member, in an effort to convince the United States and its NATO allies to withdraw from the conflict. Russian officials, along with some scholars and observers in the United...
