Kanye West had 9-year-old daughter North at party with naked sushi women

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:23:57 GMT

It’s fair to say that Kanye West is not the most rational and consistent of thinkers, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the self-proclaimed devoted dad also exposed his 9-year-old daughter North to all kinds of bizarre antics at his 46th birthday party.One antic involved Nyotaimori, the Japanese practice of serving sushi or sashimi on a woman’s nude body, Page Six and other outlets reported. It’s easy to guess that West, a self-styled visionary musician and fashion designer, reasoned that he was introducing his daughter to a form of artistic expression.Kanye West included the Japanese practice Nyotaimori at his 46th birthday party last night, which involves serving sashimi or sushi off the naked body of a woman. pic.twitter.com/c2XdnoCd9n— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) June 11, 2023But West also is the father who once accused his ex-wife Kim Kardashian of being a bad mother because she made a sex tape and because she let North go on TikTok, exposing her t...

Biden administration urges states to slow down on dropping people from Medicaid

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:23:57 GMT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Biden administration on Monday urged states to slow down their purge of Medicaid rolls, citing concerns that large numbers of lower-income people are losing health care coverage due to administrative reasons. The nation’s Medicaid rolls swelled during the coronavirus pandemic as states were prohibited from ending people’s coverage. But that came to a halt in April, and states now must re-evaluate recipients’ eligibility — just as they had been regularly required to do before the pandemic. In some states, about half of those whose Medicaid renewal cases were decided in April or May have lost their coverage, according to data submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and obtained by The Associated Press. The primary cause is what CMS describes as “procedural reasons,” such as the failure to return forms. “I am deeply concerned with the number of people unnecessarily losing coverage, especially those who appear to hav...

Proposal to end Senate standoff over military promotions and abortion policy goes nowhere

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:23:57 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hopes were dashed Monday for an imminent end to a Senate standoff that has delayed the promotions of more than 200 military officers and could delay the confirmation of President Joe Biden’s pick for chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama has been blocking the nominations to pressure the Defense Department to rescind a policy that reimburses service members who have to travel out of state for abortions and other reproductive care. Alabama is among the states where abortion is now illegal. A proposal to hold a Senate debate over Pentagon abortion policies as part of the annual defense bill negotiations was seen by some senators as the best prospect for getting Tuberville to lift those holds, but his office said Monday that Tuberville was opposed. The hold affects everyone from four-star Air Force Gen. CQ Brown, who was nominated to serve as the next chairman of the joint chiefs, to scores of one, two and three-star officers...

La obesidad puede modificar el cerebro para reconocer la saciedad, según un estudio

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:23:57 GMT

(CNN) — La obesidad puede afectar la capacidad del cerebro para reconocer la sensación de saciedad y de sentirse satisfecho después de comer grasas y azúcares, según un nuevo estudio.Además, esos cambios cerebrales pueden durar incluso después de que las personas consideradas médicamente obesas pierdan una cantidad significativa de peso, lo que posiblemente explique por qué muchas personas recuperan a menudo los kilos que pierden.“No había indicios de reversibilidad: los cerebros de las personas con obesidad seguían careciendo de las respuestas químicas que indican al organismo que ha comido lo suficiente”, afirma la Dra. Caroline Apovian, catedrática de Medicina de la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard y codirectora del Centro para el Control del Peso y el Bienestar del Hospital Brigham and Women’s de Boston.¿Cómo puedes ayudar a los niños que padecen de obesidad? 2:32Según la definición médica, las personas con obesidad tienen un índice de masa corporal, o IMC...
