Separation from a parent is a traumatic experience for any child, with the loss of a major influence and source of protection in their day-to-day development. According to Stanford psychology Professor Ian H. Gotlib: “Early life stress is consistently associated with behavioral problems in children, with symptoms of psychopathology and with psychological and physical disorders.” That trauma is apparent in the account shared to Reddit by one 18-year-old who has spent the past 16 years growing up without a mom....

However, no one knows for certain how it works. As such, IVIG is prescribed off-label—without specific approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—for diseases in which your immune system is severely compromised. These conditions may include neonatal sepsis, pediatric HIV, and certain cases of advanced HIV. IVIG is also used as a second-line treatment for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Uses While there’s no clear consensus as to when IVIG treatment for MS is most appropriate, it has shown promise in a number of specific areas, including:...

“Any efforts by [Secretary of State Mike Pompeo], by the president or anyone else to interfere with the Congress’ ability to call before it relative witnesses will be considered evidence of obstruction of the lawful functions of Congress,” Schiff said. “Of course, that was an article of impeachment against Nixon.” Nixon was charged with three articles of impeachment: obstruction of justice, abuse of power and contempt of Congress.

Under the new law signed by Governor Kim Reynolds, sporting events will have required designations of male, female or coed, and only those whose birth certificates say they are female will be allowed to play in the female events. This makes Iowa the 11th state to pass legislation of this nature, with the other states also led by Republicans, according to the Associated Press. The bill passed the Iowa Senate on Wednesday along party lines, KCRG-TV reported....

Trump secured six electoral college votes with his victory in Iowa, putting him on a path to victory by the time the state was called. Four years ago, Trump bested then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton by nearly 10 percentage points, but going into Tuesday, he had less than a two-point lead on average over Biden. The president’s appeal to Iowans appeared to lessen over the past four years—or Biden’s increased from Clinton—and his win in the state was by only about seven points by the time Fox News and the Associated Press made the call....

But is there a more indispensable player for the Cyclones than sophomore forward Georges Niang? MORE FACES: Michigan’s Glenn Robinson III | Arizona’s Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Consider the entirety of what Niang does for ISU. He’s the only Big 12 forward ranked in the top 10 in assists, and he’s a very capable ballhandler. At 6-7, 240 pounds, he can score inside and from long range (he’s tied for second on the team in 3-point field goals), and he’s often at his best in the clutch....

““The Bell Curve’’ is a big, complex book that is based on a deeply pessimistic – and deeply angry – view of American society. Murray and his coauthor, the late Harvard psychologist Richard Herrnstein, argue that intellectuals and policymakers have largely overlooked the role intelligence plays in determining wealth, poverty and social status. They say America is increasingly stratified by intellectual ability, with a ““cognitive elite’’ of highly educated politicians, professionals and business leaders at the top and a growing underclass of dullards at the bottom....

For some people, it all felt unnervingly like a lurch back to 2002—the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. The Bush administration’s announcement of wide-ranging sanctions against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Defense Ministry—as well as its major banks—tarred much of Tehran’s officialdom as rogues, terror supporters or proliferators. Russian President Vladimir Putin, displaying his gift for anti-American metaphor, likened the Bush officials to “mad people wielding razor blades....

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Said Khatibzadeh, in a news conference on May 31, declined to say where the vessels were going. “Iran is always present in international waters and it has this right based on international law and it can be present in international waters,” Khatibzadeh said. “No country is able to violate this right and I warn that no one makes miscalculations. Those who sit in glass houses should be careful....

Soleimani was killed outside Baghdad International Airport alongside Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis on January 3. The killing came at a time of high tensions between the U.S. and Iran, almost dragging the two nations into open war. On Monday, Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said Trump and 35 others now face “murder and terrorism charges,” according to the Mehr news agency. Alqasimehr did not identify any of the other figures accused, but said Iran would continue to push for prosecution even if Trump is defeated in the November election....

In his appearance on the cable news network, Takht-Ravanchi addressed President Donald Trump’s claims in a Wednesday speech that Iran was standing down, after Tuesday’s attacks against Iraqi military bases that housed American troops. “With the action that we took the other day, we concluded that phase of our military action against the U.S. forces,” the ambassador said. Later in the interview, Takht-Ravanchi stated that while Iran was done with military action for the time being, Iran would respond if the U....

Iranian Judiciary spokesperson Gholam Hossein Esmaeili told a press conference Tuesday that the country’s courts responded to up to 360 complaints filed by ordinary Iranian citizens who have allegedly suffered from the tight restrictions imposed on the Islamic Republic since the U.S.’ decision last year to exit a 2015 multilateral nuclear deal. He accused Washington of having committed “crimes against the nation,” according to the semi-official Fars News Agency....

In a tweet shared by the country’s Ministry of Defense, the Ukrainian military shared images of a wreaked weapon they say was a destroyed UAV Shahed-136 kamikaze drone. An inscription on the drone reads “M214 Gran-2” in Russian, but the name does not correspond to any known weapon in Moscow’s arsenal. “Despite the fact that Russians tried to disguise its approval by applying inscriptions in the Russian language, the shape of the wing fragments indicates that this is Shahed-136,” said an article published by Ukraine’s Defense Ministry....

During the process of some land reclamation, the farmer stumbled upon what appeared to be an archeological site and contacted a local expert who later confirmed the finding to be a tomb. Following the report on April 13, the local archeologist reached out to Dr. Bernard Gilhooly, curator of the Irish Antiquities Division of the National Museum of Ireland, to report the discovery. “Both the farmer and archaeologist were contacted the same day to discuss the discovery, and to arrange a joint inspection by the National Museum of Ireland (NMI) and the National Monuments Service (NMS),” Gilhooly told Newsweek in an email....

A government-commissioned report revealed some 9,000 children died in the country’s so-called mother and baby homes over several decades, a mortality rate far higher than the rest of the population. The homes, run by the state and religious orders, saw unmarried women and girls sent to give birth in secrecy before being pressured to give up their children for adoption. The institutions were also responsible for unethical vaccine trials and traumatic emotional abuse, the report found....

Normally, taxpayers can begin filing in late January, but the agency said this year it will need more time to prepare. The delay, however, will not affect the April 15 filing deadline. “Planning for the nation’s filing season process is a massive undertaking, and IRS teams have been working non-stop to prepare for this as well as delivering Economic Impact Payments in record time,” IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said in a statement....
