What Are Seizures? Seizures are episodes of altered electrical activity in the brain that can cause changes in behavior, mood, movements, and level of consciousness. If someone has two or more unprovoked seizures, they may be diagnosed as having epilepsy. When pathways of communication between neurons (nerve cells) in the brain are disrupted, seizures can arise. A common cause is epilepsy, although many other seizure triggers have been identified— among them, very high fever, brain infection such as meningitis, electrolyte disturbances (for example, abnormal levels of sodium in the blood), use of certain street drugs, withdrawal from alcohol, poisoning or venomous bites or stings, and many more....

Let’s begin with the Constitution, as we must. There are several provisions that may be relevant. There is nothing in Article II ,which sets out the powers of the president, that is directly on point. The most relevant phrase is that the president “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” but that is a very general provision, applicable to federal laws. Article IV provides that “the United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a Republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence” (emphasis added)....

Now, on the verge of this week’s G8 summit in Russia, the White House believes it has discovered a new way to win the day: more nuclear carrots. Instead of trying to convince Russia to give up billions of dollars in contracts to build Iran’s nuclear power, the White House wants to offer Moscow even bigger contracts to become the world’s nuclear dump. For now, the White House says its talks with Vladimir Putin’s government are at a very early stage....

There are worse governments in the world—and even among democracies, if Poland and Hungary still count. But there has never been a specter like this in Israel, and that’s a big deal: the Jewish state remains a nuclear power, a top military ally of Washington, a leading trading partner of the European Union, a global tech superpower, and a particularly combustible spark in the Middle East tinderbox. The change has happened because, perhaps for the first time ever, a right-wing Israeli leader is totally dependent on his far-right and religious allies, enabling full-on extortion....

Little Rock sent No. 5 seed Purdue packing. No. 12 seed Yale knocked off Baylor for its first-ever tournament win and 15th-seeded Middle Tennessee State led almost wire-to-wire in meticulously dismantling title favorite Michigan State. MORE: 14 of the worst early round choke jobs of all time But rather than mourn the loss of some of the tournament’s Goliaths, let’s take a look at how some of the underdogs might fare moving forward....

Inspired by Beckel and Thomas’s USA Today column, the book is at times pedantic, but it’s informative and even healing, and surprisingly funny. Tellingly, in the book’s five cover photos, which look like publicity stills from a summer stock production of “The Odd Couple,” the co-authors visibly bicker in four of them. In only one picture are they smiling and looking as though they’ve actually stopped the partisan war they decry inside the book....

If someone tests positive for an at-home rapid test, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that they get in contact with their healthcare provider about their results and their symptoms. Whether or not an at-home test or documenting symptoms with a healthcare provider is enough to get access to Social Security disability benefits or treatment for long COVID is not straightforward. But in the past, it hasn’t always been enough....

The annual roundup feature has become a highlight in the calendar of many music fans, as it gives you objective insights into your own musical taste. Among other things, you’ll discover which bands you streamed the most, the genres that became your favorites, and if there were any megahits that you missed out on. Depending on your results, it can be a cathartic or deeply mortifying experience. After all, you might just learn that your musical taste is not quite as sophisticated as you originally believed....

When you engage in frottage while wearing clothing, it is very safe sex. If you take off your clothing, dry humping is still relatively safe, but it is possible to pass on certain diseases that are transmitted through skin-to-skin contact. Although frottage is a relatively safe form of sex, it is possible to get a sexually transmitted infection (STI) when you are dry humping someone if their infected skin rubs against yours....

Since mpox is a zoonotic disease, it can spread between animals and people. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), while rare, it’s possible for mpox patients to spread the virus to their pets through close contact, including petting, cuddling, hugging, kissing, licking, sharing sleeping areas, and sharing food. Other types of orthopoxviruses have infected a wide range of species, including hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, and cats....

Canada scheduled its two November home qualifiers in Edmonton hoping for the weather to provide it with a decided home-field advantage. The setting worked Friday in a 1-0 win over Costa Rica. A second straight home victory over a favorite for one of the three automatic berths would considerably boost Canada’s chances to qualify for its first World Cup since 1986. And if it came against longtime regional power Mexico, it would legitimize Canada as a new CONCACAF force....

The Canadians won back-to-back bronze medals at the London Olympics in 2012 and in Rio de Janeiro four years later, when Sweden finished runners-up to Germany. Both teams won their semifinals by the slimmest of margins, with Sweden scraping past Australia courtesy of Fridolina Rolfö’s goal, while Jessie Fleming’s penalty secured a 1-0 over the U.S. Women’s National Team and catapulted Canada to its first women’s soccer Olympic final....

Bedard made more history Saturday night, as his four assists pushed his career World Juniors point total to 31 to tie Eric Lindros’ record for most points ever by a Canadian at the tournament In addition, he also tied Dale McCourt and Brayden Schenn for the most points ever by a Canadian at a single tournament, as his 2023 points total is now up to 18. Brennan Othmann scored twice for the Canadians and Thomas Milic was sensational in net, making 22 saves in the win....

Trudeau’s office has confirmed that the prime minister and the Canadian delegation will quarantine in an Ottawa hotel once he arrives from his first international trip since the pandemic began, and will remain there until his PCR test comes back negative. Trudeau flew out of the nation’s capital of Ottawa on Thursday; Canadian prime ministers do not fly commercial due to security reasons. However, Ottawa is not among the Canadian cities that accept international flights during the coronavirus pandemic....

Price last played in the Olympic gold medal game, when his Canadian national team defeated Sweden 3-0. The game extended his Olympic shutout streak to 164:19, but he aggravated a lower-body injury and missed the Canadiens last eight games. MORE: Canadiens a winner at trade deadline | Overtime changes hot topic at GM meetings "Price is playing, it's excellent news," Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said. "He had a good day [Friday] and he felt good [Saturday] morning....

On October 21, 2001, a gun that Rust star and producer Baldwin was holding discharged on the unfinished film’s New Mexico set, leading to the death of Hutchins and injury of writer-director Joel Souza. Baldwin has maintained that he was unaware the gun contained live rounds and denied pulling the trigger, but New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced on Thursday that the star will be facing charges....

In a tweet on Friday, Owens said that the U.S. should send troops to its neighboring country in response to how the Canadian prime minister has been dealing with the ongoing vaccine mandates protests. Owens also seemed to suggest that the situation in Canada should also be the U.S.’s biggest foreign policy issue, ahead of concerns that Russia is planning on invading Ukraine. “STOP talking about Russia. Send American troops to Canada to deal with the tyrannical reign of Justin Trudeau Castro,” Owens tweeted....

“I received about 20 emails last night from people telling me that they went to vote for Larry Elder only to learn that they had already voted,” Owens tweeted on Monday alongside a video from a news broadcast which reported the confusion was due to a since-resolved equipment issue. “This needs to be investigated. It seems like the fix is in,” the conservative political commentator added. Owens shared a 47-second clip taken from a KLTA5 news report over the weekend that interviewed a handful of self-identified Republican California residents who claimed they had issues with their ballots for the September 14 election....
