This evening, Republicans in the House revealed their plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. The GOP’s response, called the American Health Care Act, calls for less involvement from the federal government and “will likely leave more Americans uninsured,” according to the Associated Press. The plan also puts low-income citizens at a disadvantage and cuts Planned Parenthood funding, Vox reports. The House of Representatives begins voting on the legislation on Wednesday.
Amidst the angered reactions on Twitter from some lawmakers and plenty of citizens, a few users took the news as the perfect opportunity to create a meme. It only took three things—a photo of something, a photo of a butchered remake and the caption: “Obamacare vs. GOP Replacement”—for a new political meme to come to life.

Amy Schnitzler was tired.
Surgery and chemotherapy treatments for her breast cancer had knocked the energy right out of her and all she wanted to do was snuggle under the bedcovers all day.
But she got up, anyway.
“Even on my worst days, in terms of fatigue, if I just got up and did a little something, whether it be some light stretching, gentle yoga, just some yoga, that definitely made me feel better and it definitely made me able to greet the day,’ said Schnitzler, who is studying opera.
“It was just a matter of, ‘OK, I know you feel really tired right now, Amy. But if you just get up and do a little something, you’re going to feel better after’. And that has definitely been the case for me.”

Who benefits from the tax credits in the proposed Republican health care bill?
That depends on how old you are and how much income you make, but where you live would matter a lot, too.
Using Kaiser Family Foundation projections of the 2020 health care markets, NBC News mapped the winners and losers of the American Health Care Act relative to the Affordable Care Act.

Between spreading illnesses, ruining crops, and infesting our homes, insects have had a long, adversarial relationship with humans. But not all insects are pests — think bees — and if scientists and engineers have their way, several more species will soon become our unwitting allies.
In labs throughout the world, researchers are hacking the brains and bodies of insects, creating so-called “biobots” that can do their bidding. Just as insects have recently been hailed as a potential solution to our impending food security crisis, the shudder-inducing creatures may also save human lives in various other ways.
For example, crawling cyborg insects could someday explore disaster zones and aid in search-and-rescue operations. By effectively surveying areas inaccessible to rescue teams, these remote-controlled insects could help find people buried under collapsed buildings. Similarly, a mass of airborne biobots could quickly search forests, canyons, and other areas for missing hikers.

Hey, over here! Yes, you.
Look away from your Twitter feed and that email reminder and your phone alerts and Facebook notifications. Just for a minute, we promise.
We know multitasking has become the new default mode. But here’s the thing: You’re not as good at it as you think, and it’s terrible for your brain.

People who are obese have a greater risk of developing and dying from several types of cancer including malignancies of the breast, ovary, kidney, pancreas, colon, rectum and bone marrow, a research review confirms.
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and the prevalence of obesity has more than doubled over the past generation. Even though excess weight is thought to influence the odds of developing and dying from a wide variety of tumors, the study found “strong evidence” supporting this connection for just 11 cancers.
“Other associations could also be genuine, but there is still substantial uncertainty about them,” lead study author Dr. Maria Kyrgiou of Imperial College London said by email.
Globally, 1.9 billion adults are overweight or obese, according to the World Health Organization. Roughly four in 10 adults are overweight, and more than one in 10 are obese, a condition that increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, kidney problems and joint disorders in addition to certain cancers.

Bomb threats were called in Tuesday at the offices of a prominent Jewish civil rights organization, while several other Jewish Community Centers and schools across the country were similarly targeted, police said.
This latest wave of at least nine anonymous threats was quickly denounced by politicians and Jewish leaders, and comes after a federal investigation led to one arrest in St. Louis last week.
“This is not ‘normal,'” Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement. “We will not be deterred or intimidated.”

Down dog is a resting pose. If it doesn’t feel that way, you have some adjusting to do.
Typically, people are bearing too much weight in their arms instead of their feet, and not reaching their chest back towards their thighs enough. Also, people tend to get “trapped in their traps” by squeezing their shoulders up to their ears. And if you don’t get your hands right, you could hurt your wrists, exacerbate carpal tunnel or worse.
