The poll found that 55% of Black respondents said they feel like they must be very careful about their appearance to be treated fairly at medical visits. That’s similar to the rate for Hispanic and Alaska Native patients – and nearly double the rate for white patients. Nearly 30% of Black respondents prepare to be insulted, also about double the rate for white patients. Asians and Hispanics were three times more likely to say they’ve been treated badly in a health care setting because of their race than white respondents and Black respondents were 6 times more likely. “The consequences in health care are really striking and very frightening, honestly, to understand what people need to do to be taken seriously, to be seen as a whole person,” she said.

By Steve GormanLOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A suspected serial killer was charged on Monday with murder in the fatal shootings of three homeless men in Los Angeles and a county employee who was robbed and slain after being followed to his residence, all of them over a four-day span, officials said. Powell was charged with four counts of murder, one count of residential robbery and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said there was no known connection among the four men who were slain and suggested that additional victims might end up linked to the case. At that point, Powell was under arrest but had yet to be charged with shooting homeless people. (Reporting by Steve Gorman in Los Angeles; Editing by Christopher Cushing)

Walking your dog is a fantastic way to get in shape, and it benefits both you and your pooch. Biking, for example, is much easier for the human who is peddling than the dog that’s running. “I see people riding bikes with a dog, and the dog is gasping for breath and limping,” Tomasino said. “If another dog is coming at you, for example, that’s dangerous for you and the dog. “Exercising is really good bonding for you and your dog, as long as you stay off your phone,” Celapino said.

REUTERS/Elizabeth Frantz/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Nov 16 (Reuters) - A group of hardline Republicans has put new U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson on notice that he can no longer count on their support for legislation, signaling a possible early end to his "honeymoon" period. "We want the message to be clear," said Representative Scott Perry, chairman of the hardline conservative House Freedom Caucus. The bill passed the House with support from 209 Democrats but only 127 Republicans - a troubling sign for the new speaker. He had also angered hardliners by suspending House rules to circumvent their hopes of blocking debate on the measure.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia plans to send cosmonauts to land on the Moon next decade for the first time in its history and intends to build a moon base from 2031, according to the Russian corporation responsible for manned space flights, state news agency TASS reported. A draft plan presented by Vladimir Solovyov of RKK Energia said that Russia was planning manned missions to the moon, including the first Russian human moon landing, along with a moon base, TASS said on Wednesday. "Preparations for the deployment of a lunar base - 2031-2040," TASS quoted the draft plan as saying. In August, Russia's first moon mission in 47 years failed when its Luna-25 space craft spun out of control and crashed into the moon, underscoring the post-Soviet problems experienced by a once mighty space programme. Yuri Gagarin became the first human in outer space on April 12, 1961, but Soviet cosmonauts never did a human landing on the moon.

Since arriving in Medford, Mr. Cookis said they have taken their 2-year-old son, Beckett, and 1-year-old daughter, Luna, to the township’s apple festival, cranberry festival and Amish market. “I’ve lived down South for 10 years, and I’ve never had more nature,” said Mr. Cookis, 28. Nine years ago, while employed at TD Bank, Mr. Dodd grew weary of the frequent trips he had to make from their home in Maine to Cherry Hill, N.J. So the couple and their four children moved closer to the bank’s South Jersey headquarters. Coming from Maine, they were surprised at Medford’s similarly woodsy, rural feel.
