Texas Ranks No. 1 In America For Uninsured Women: Report
0 Health & Fitness Women, especially those of childbearing age, need health insurance. But some states have far more uninsured women than others. Don Johnson , Patch Staff Posted Reply Texas had the highest rate of uninsured women in the country in 2016, according to a report. In 2016, the latest year data was available, about 24 percent of Texas women of childbearing age didn't have health insurance. Nationwide, nearly 12 percent of American women between the ages of 15 and 44 didn’t have health insurance in 2016, according to Peristats , a March of Dimes web portal that provides access to maternal and infant health data for the United States. And while that number is almost half what it was in 2010, it still means millions of women weren’t able to access vital health services. In Texas, the 24 percent figure in 2016 was actually an improvement over 2010 when about a third of women of childbearing age didn't have health … [Read more...] about Texas Ranks No. 1 In America For Uninsured Women: Report

Click here to read the full article. On the first day of shooting “Home Improvement” in April 1991, Pamela Anderson emerged from her dressing room on the Walt Disney Studios lot and found series star Tim Allen loitering in the hallway in a bathrobe. This seemed normal to the 23-year-old budding actress, but it wasn’t. “He opened his robe and flashed me quickly — completely naked underneath,” Anderson writes in her soon-to-be-released memoir, “Love, Pamela.” “He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even.” “I laughed uncomfortably,” she writes.

Prominent Activist in India Arrested Over Crusade Against Modi in Deadly Riots
A prominent Indian human rights activist who spearheaded a campaign to hold officials responsible for deadly 2002 riots in the western state of Gujarat has been arrested and faces charges of fabricating evidence against the prime minister, Narendra Modi. The activist, Teesta Setalvad, was detained by an antiterrorism squad on Saturday in Mumbai and taken north to the neighboring state of Gujarat to face charges relating to a case brought against Mr. Modi when he was the state’s top official. While he was never found responsible, for years Indians have asked whether Mr. Modi could have curtailed or stopped the sectarian riots, in which more than 1,000 people were killed. Ms. Setalvad was detained after India’s top court Friday dismissed a petition that challenged Mr. Modi’s exoneration in the strife. Just before she was arrested, India’s home minister, Amit Shah, accused Ms. Setalvad of feeding fraudulent information to the police about the riots to tarnish Mr. Modi’s image. Mr. … [Read more...] about Prominent Activist in India Arrested Over Crusade Against Modi in Deadly Riots
Climate Activist Jailed in India as Government Clamps Down on Dissent
Before anyone outside her hometown knew her name, Disha Ravi spent four years raising awareness among young people in Bangalore about the effects of climate change. Now the 21-year-old activist is jailed in New Delhi. The allegation: She distributed a “tool kit” in the form of a Google Doc containing talking points and contact information for influential groups to drum up support for farmers who have been protesting against the Indian government for months. The document — which the police say she shared with Greta Thunberg, the 18-year-old Swedish climate activist — resembles the kind that grass-roots organizations around the world have used for years to campaign for their causes. But Ms. Ravi, the police contend, was using it to “spread disaffection against the Indian State.” The arrest, the latest in a series of broader crackdown on activists, has triggered anger and disbelief among opposition politicians, student groups and lawyers, who say the government is using its … [Read more...] about Climate Activist Jailed in India as Government Clamps Down on Dissent
The Forgotten History of Chinese Railroad Workers Rises From the Texas Dust
MARFA, Texas — What remains of the Chinese immigrants who built the Southern Pacific Railroad through Seminole Canyon in the 1880s are the objects they left behind — opium pipes, rice bowls, and imperial coins buried here in the scrublands, three hours east of the desert town of Marfa. The laborers, who after brutal hours toiling in the rattlesnake-infested lands would sleep in tents near the tracks, left little of their own writing. (Their white counterparts lodged inside the train cars.) The artist Kenneth Tam was asked to come here from New York, in December 2021, to explore the canyon’s archaeological sites and piece together a story of the 3,500 laborers. His sculptures of compressed dirt and detritus, horse saddles and leather straps are on exhibit in Ballroom Marfa , a contemporary art space that was once a dance hall. Titled “Tender is the hand which holds the stone of memory,” the exhibition of the sculptures, and a video installation, examine how myths and histories of … [Read more...] about The Forgotten History of Chinese Railroad Workers Rises From the Texas Dust
