Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) is a modified form of the omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and is taken by people who have been diagnosed with severe hypertriglyceridemia, which consists of triglyceride levels greater than or equal to 500 mg/dL. If you have been prescribed this medication to take, you should also be following a diet to lower your triglyceride levels. Vascepa was approved for use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2012....

There are many changes coming to the 2020 MLB Draft, most of those changes due to the coronavirus pandemic that has stopped the sport globally. The most forward-facing change to the draft is the amount of rounds dwindled from 40 to five. Slot values for the draft are still in place from 2019, with the 3.5 percent increase tabled between MLB and the MLBPA, reflecting on the increase in MLB revenue....

That’s the question for No. 3 Notre Dame after a 30-3 blowout loss against No. 2 Clemson in the Cotton Bowl Classic on Saturday, a loss that promises to stick with the Irish until their next shot at the Playoff. This was the Irish’s first return to this type of national stage since that 42-14 loss to Alabama in the 2013 BCS championship game. Six seasons later, nothing much has changed....

“I’m going to suggest to you that the things you enjoy about this country, the freedoms, they will all be gone when you elect someone who says, ‘I don’t believe the vote. F*** you. We’re going and we’re taking over.’ That’s how Hitler came to power,” Stern said on his SiriusXM radio show on Monday, most likely taking aim at the voters who supported former President Donald Trump’s claims that he won the 2020 presidential election....

Meng, Huawei’s chief financial officer and daughter of the company’s founder, has reached a resolution known as a deferred prosecution. In the deal, a defendant must agree to abide by certain conditions in exchange for the Justice Department ultimately dropping the case. On Friday, the Justice Department submitted a letter to U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly saying it would address “a resolution of the charges against the defendant in this matter” at a hearing later in the day, CNN reported....

And unlike the mobiles, the tech giant’s laptops have so far escaped the trade restrictions enforced by the U.S. government that have limited its access to software or components—meaning the new MateBook continues to offer a full Windows experience. With a starting price of roughly £1,400 ($1,800), the X Pro certainly isn’t aiming to be the most affordable laptop on the market—so what does it do to justify the cost?...

The Terriers finished fifth last season, 13 points behind Championship winners Newcastle, and needed a penalty shoot-out to overcome Reading in the play-off final at Wembley. But they have made themselves feel instantly at home in what is their first appearance in the top flight since 1971-72, thumping Crystal Palace 3-0 away from home last weekend. And they made it two wins from two attempts thanks to Aaron Mooy’s emphatic 50th-minute strike at a packed John Smith’s Stadium....

We are talking relatively here: “close” in universe terms is still hundreds of thousands of miles away. In this case, asteroid 1998 HH49 is expected to come within 730,000 miles of our planet, which is about three times the distance between the Earth and the moon. Using mathematical models, NASA has estimated that the asteroid will not be as close to Earth again until the year 2163, when it will come within approximately 400,000 miles....

The record for the longest lasting lightning strike was also confirmed by the organization, with an event in Argentina March 4, 2019, lasting 16.73 seconds. The WMO, a United Nations Agency that covers weather, climate and water resources, confirmed the records using satellite imagery technology. Scientists published details of the findings in the American Geophysical Union’s journal Geophysical Research Letters. Randall Cerveny, chief rapporteur of Weather and Climate Extremes for WMO, and one of the study authors, said the two events represented “extraordinary records from single lightning flash events....

A YouGov survey found 81 percent of British adults were “not very” or “not at all” interested in King Charles’ youngest son’s life story, which comes hot on the heels of his six-part Netflix docuseries in which a number of accusations were made against the royal family—most prominently Charles and Prince William. Of the 2,816 British adults surveyed, just 15 percent said they were “somewhat” or “very” interested in Harry’s forthcoming memoir, with 4 percent responding that they did not know....

Speaking to Andy Cohen on Sirius XM’s Radio Andy while promoting his new film The Gentleman, Grant compared the British media’s treatment of Meghan to Princess Diana. The press had “effectively murdered” Harry’s mother and are now “tearing his wife to pieces,” the British actor said. He was referring to Diana’s death in August 1997. The vehicle she was in crashed while she was being chased by paparazzi in Paris....

Schweini left out of team photo The Ivorian — on loan from Manchester City — has struggled to make an impact at the bet365 Stadium as Stoke made a slow start to the season, with his last goal coming back in December. However, after Hughes’ side registered back-to-back wins over fellow strugglers Sunderland and Hull City, the Welshman is hoping Bony can also get back on track against a club he struck 26 times in the Premier League for....

The move was approved by Kathy Hochul, the state’s governor, meaning human composting is now legal in six states across the U.S. Human composting sees a body shut in a container, usually filled with material such as straw and wood chips, where it decomposes over a period of several weeks. At the end of the process the resulting compost is typically given to the deceased’s family, who can deposit it in a place special to the person who died....

Four-month-old Dudley, a blue-eyed cross between a retriever and a Siberian husky, and nearly-2-year-old Norbit, a brown Chihuahua, were found separately by staff at the San Antonio Humane Society (SAHS) in early June, according to a Thursday Facebook post by SAHS. When they were examined, SAHS staff discovered both dogs had sustained thigh bone fractures so severe they were in danger of amputation, according to local news outlet KSAT. However, staff eventually decided to take a different tack: surgery plus physical therapy....

Many Germans, on the other hand, had shown my dad a lot of respect. German long-jumper Lutz Lang helped Dad learn to jump without fouling. Then Dad beat Lang for the gold medal. After Dad had won three gold medals, he tried to step aside in the 4x100 relay so Marty Glickman, a Jewish teammate, could replace him and win a gold medal, too. But the Germans refused to let a Jew compete....

Patel, a businessman in the western state of Gujarat, has traveled to 14 countries, but the U.S. has been on his bucket list for a long time. “If I can combine a U.S. trip with a chance to get the best quality vaccine, it is an excellent opportunity for me and my family,” said Patel, who registered for a vaccine tourism package with Zenith Holidays. The tour agency, headquartered in Kolkata, has received more than 1,200 phone calls in the past two weeks about the travel package....

Almost 500 species, most living in the tropics, are vulnerable due to their unique and desirable appearance. Their spectacular plumes make them more prone to the pet trade, scientists say. “Aesthetic value is an important part of how people value nature,” said Dr. Rebecca Senior of Durham University in England and lead author of the research. “However, there is potential for conflict when what motivates some people to protect certain species is the same thing that makes other people want to own them....

The sharks have appeared in the canals near Buttonwood Harbor in Longboat Key, which is south of Tampa, WFLA-TV reported. They vary in size and species. Bonnethead, black tip, nurse, and lemon sharks have all been spotted. Jack Morris, a senior biologist with Mote’s Sharks and Rays Research Program, told Newsweek that sharks do not like red tide and are seeking refuge from it in the canals. Red tide is an irritant that can lead to decreased oxygen levels in the water....

Up to 250 pilot whales could have been involved in the stranding that occurred in the Chatham Islands, on Pitt Island, according to stranded whale rescue organization Project Jonah. The stranding comes shortly after another mass stranding occurred to the northwest of Chatham Island, where 215 pilot whales passed away. It takes the number of stranded whales in the area to 500, all within a few days. Cetacean strandings—when marine mammals wash up on beaches—happen globally....
