For 24 years, Natalie Ann Evans has worked as a birth doula, providing comfort and support to parents ushering new life into the world. But after caring for her mother in hospice in 2014, another facet of her career opened up. "I realized how many similarities there were between end-of-life and [birth] doula work. So after [my mother] passed, I started supporting friends and family," Evans told Stacker. A decade later, Evans decided to pursue end-of-life care and enrolled in...
If you've been shopping for eggs lately, you're probably aware that prices are rising as the latest bird flu outbreak takes its toll on the nation's chickens. The most prevalent strain of the disease, H5N1, has been identified in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and more than 157 million birds have been affected by the disease since the outbreak began in January 2022. While avian influenza, aka bird flu, is ravaging wild and farmed bird populations, its transmission to nonavian...
As districts and government officials nationwide consider curbing smartphones' reach, new research has revealed teens miss at least one and a half hours of school because they are on their phones. A quarter of the 13-18-year-olds in the study used devices for two hours each school day, which lasts around seven hours. The averages outnumber minutes allotted for lunch and period breaks combined, showing youth are distracted by phones throughout huge chunks of class time. Teen...
Rats are, in many ways, better adapted to cities than the humans that built them. While urbanites struggle with crowds, sparse parking spaces, and their upstairs neighbors stomping around at 4 a.m., rats are living their best lives. Huddled safely underground, they pop up at night to chew through heaps of food waste in dumpsters and hot dogs left on stoops. Now, scientists have found yet another gnawing advantage for rats, Grist reports. A study published in January in the...
If the Los Angeles River were a living being, she would be called a survivor. From her headwaters in the Simi Hills and Santa Susana Mountains, her 51 miles wind through one of the most densely populated regions of the country and then flow straight down into the Pacific Ocean near Long Beach. The City of Angels owes its existence to her; over 1,000 years ago, the Tongva established the first settlement on her banks near where Los Angeles City Hall stands today. However, she...
Telemedicine has been viewed as a potential equalizer to health care access, but as the policies from the COVID-19 pandemic wind down, people who need it most continue to have the least access to the service. Pandemic-era policies rapidly expanded access to telehealth—also known as telemedicine—which allowed patients to consult remotely with health care providers using video or phone calls. This applied to those with or without private health insurance, according to an ana...
Because of a 20-year-old government foul-up, about 200,000 Arizona voters will need to come up with proof of their citizenship soon in order to protect their full voting rights, and they might not even know about it yet. County officials waited six months for the Secretary of State's Office to give them the final list of affected voters who need to be contacted, and clear legal guidance on how to do that so voters are treated fairly across the state. After all, in a few...
Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is a disorder that affects the large intestine and can cause a variety of uncomfortable gastrointestinal symptoms. While multiple things can trigger flare-ups, diet is a major component. Alcoholic beverages can worsen IBS symptoms, reports SaveHealth, a prescription discount website. The way in which alcohol might affect a person with IBS varies. If you decide to drink, pay attention to how it affects you and to the contents of the drink....
Considering a Republican candidate won the United States presidential election in November 2024, it's easy to assume most Americans identify as Republicans. The data, however, tells a different story. According to Gallup, 28% of Americans considered themselves Democrats in 2024, the same percentage who identified as Republicans. A far greater number (43%) identified as Independents. When choosing between the two major parties, Gallup's data shows that 45% of Americans lean tow...

The sequence began around 12:30 p.m. when Bangura allegedly entered an apartment complex near the 2400 block of Barry Avenue and...
The most reliable data on fires started by homeless people in the City of Los Angeles comes from the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), which tracks "homeless fires"-incidents linked to encampments or unsheltered individuals. For the City of Los Angeles specifically (not the broader county), the LAFD reported 13,909 such fires in 2023. This number reflects a significant increase from prior years-nearly double the 7,149 recorded in 2020-and aligns with a trend of rising...
As of March 2, 2025, there is no definitive, official confirmation from credible sources that Israel is currently preparing for a "final assault" against Hamas. However, I can provide context based on available information and recent developments.
