Elmhurst Police Chief Michael R. Ruth died over the weekend, according to the city of Elmhurst.
Authorities said that on Sunday, Ruth died while recovering from a medical procedure in an area hospital.
Ruth had served as Elmhurst police chief since 2012, and had served 44 years in law enforcement. He is credited with implementing new crime prevention technologies and helping the department achieve Tier 1 state accreditation.
“I am forever grateful to have worked alongside him,” said Elmhurst City Manager Jim Grabowski. “He was an asset to our organization and his loss will not be easy to overcome.”
Ruth’s career began in the dispatcher’s seat in Alsip. He then served as a patrolman in Hometown before joining the Skokie Police Department in 1981, where he would work his way to the rank of commander.
Ruth also worked as an adjunct criminal justice professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Governors State University.
Ruth was a graduate of the 207th Session of the BI National Academy and a former president of the West Suburban Chiefs of Police Association.
Authorities said that Deputy Chief Michael McLean, who has been serving as acting chief in Ruth’s absence, will serve as Interim chief.
“Above all, Chief Ruth believed in the nobility of the Elmhurst Police Department’s work and the
professionalism of its members.” said Elmhurst Mayor Scott Levin. “Our city has suffered a
tremendous loss, however I am comforted in knowing that chief was a mentor to many, and that his commitment to the best level of public safety standards for our community will live on.”

LAREDO, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A man in Laredo was arrested on terroristic threat charges after buying multiple firearms and ammunition on social media and telling the seller he was going “human hunting.”
On May 25, the Laredo Police Department received information regarding a terroristic threat.
An individual selling a firearm optic (scope) on social media met with a buyer when they made an alarming statement.
The buyer told the seller that he was going “human hunting.”
Finding the statement alarming, the seller reported the incident to authorities.
The Laredo Police Crimes Against Persons Unit and the LPD Juvenile and Gang Enforcement Team conducted an investigation into the man’s identity.
The man was identified as 37-year-old Javier Torres, according to Laredo PD.
After reviewing the findings of the investigation, an arrest warrant was issued for Javier Torres on third-degree felony charges of Terroristic Threats.
On May 26, Laredo PD investigators executed a search and arrest warrant at Torres’ residence, where he was arrested without incident.
Multiple handguns, extended magazines, long rifles, a bulletproof vest with armor plates, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition were found in various parts of the home.
Authorities noted that Torres’ residence was less than 1,000 feet from an elementary school.
There were NO direct threats made to the faculty or students of the school in this case.
However, due to the proximity of the school, the LISD Police Department was briefed on the investigation and will be included in all future updates of this case.
Laredo PD thanked the reporting citizen, reminding the community that “if you see something, say something.”
The investigation remains ongoing. | https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/texas-man-wanting-to-go-human-hunting-arrested-for-terroristic-threat/ | 2022-05-31T04:22:42Z | https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/texas-man-wanting-to-go-human-hunting-arrested-for-terroristic-threat/ | false | 17 |

Steve Nash, a two-time NBA MVP and voted one of the league’s 75 greatest players of all time, is among a group of seven who will be inducted into the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame.
Nash, from Saanich, will enter as part of the class of 2021 alongside Stewart Granger and Angela (Johnson) Straub.
Three-time NBA champion Rick Fox headlines the class of 2022 that also features Michèle Bélanger, John Bitove and Tony Simms.
Canada Basketball will hold the induction ceremony on July 10 in Toronto.
“To be enshrined in the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame is a great honour and each of this year’s inductees have made a lasting and unique impact at all levels of the sport,” Michael Bartlett, president and CEO of Canada Basketball, said in a statement.
Nash suited up for Canada internationally for more than 10 years, most famously leading the men’s team to the quarterfinals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. It was the last time that Canada’s men qualified for an Olympics.
Nash was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2018.

Fox was among Canada’s first NBA stars. His 13-year career, split between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics, included three straight NBA titles with L.A. from 2000-2002.
Bitove, who is going in as a builder, is the founder of Toronto Raptors and was instrumental in bringing the 1994 FIBA men’s world championship to Canada.
Bélanger has coached the University of Toronto Varsity Blues women’s program to 854 wins since taking over the team in 1979.
Granger was the first Black Canadian to be drafted into the NBA, chosen 24th overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1983.
Straub represented Canada from 1972-77, where she competed in both the Pan Am Games and Olympics.
Simms represented the national men’s team for 10 years and was a key member of Canada’s gold medal-winning squad at the 1983 World University Games in Edmonton. He was also a key member of Canada’s 1984 Olympic team that finished fourth.

The Department of Health (DOH) identified three towns in Palawan and the City of Puerto Princesa as hotspot areas for dengue after recording an increase in cases during a three-week period.
According to the DOH MIMAROPA Vector Borne Unit on Monday, Narra continues to have the highest number of cases with 86, followed by Puerto Princesa City with 49, Roxas with 39, Bataraza with 38, Quezon with 26, and San Vicente with 18 cases.
The barangays of Poblacion, Panacan, Princess Urduja, and Antipuluan in Narra, Barangay 1 in Roxas, Poblacion in San Vicente, and San Pedro and Maunlad in Puerto Princesa City were considered as clustered barangays for dengue cases.
Al-Patrick Aquino, Nurse III of the DOH MIMAROPA Vector Borne Unit, explained during a virtual conference recently that clustered barangays are those areas with two or more cases which require immediate attention to prevent possible outbreaks.
He said these areas are also classified as hotspot areas for dengue.
“Ang ibig sabihin ng clustering ay mayroong dalawa o higit pang kaso for the last three morbidity weeks. Ito ang mga tinatawag natin na hotspot areas at binibigyan natin ng priority para hindi tumaas ang kaso ng dengue sa lugar na ‘yan at hindi magkaroon ng outbreak,” Aquino said.
As of May 27, MIMAROPA has 761 dengue cases, 287 of which are from Palawan.
Aquino also advised the public to practice cleanliness to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes.
He also said that they had already talked to their partners in different local government units to step up the fight against dengue.
“Alamin natin ang mga bagay na pwede pamugaran ng lamok, ugaliin na itaob o takpan kagaya ng mga paso, alulod, lumang bote, kawayan at gulong,” he said. | https://palawan-news.com/doh-tags-3-palawan-towns-puerto-princesa-city-as-dengue-hotspots/ | 2022-05-31T04:31:35Z | https://palawan-news.com/doh-tags-3-palawan-towns-puerto-princesa-city-as-dengue-hotspots/ | false | 1 |

An exercise to determine Indian Embedded Value as on March 31, 2022 is under progress and is expected to be completed by June 30, 2022, Life Insurance Corporation of India has said.
“As soon as the exercise is completed, LIC of India shall make the required public disclosures,” the insurer said in a late night statement on Monday announcing its results for the fourth quarter as well as financial year 2021-22.
LIC had an embedded value of ₹5.4 lakh crore as on September 2021. The insurer reported an 18 per cent drop in its fourth quarter net profit to ₹2,371 crore.
“Though the year started on a muted note due to the Covid-19 pandemic, LIC was able to increase the marketing activities and ended the year with a significant growth of 18.7 per cent in Q4 FY22 in individual first-year premium income as compared to the corresponding quarter last year,” it further said in the statement.
LIC maintained an agency strength at 13.3 lakh and the average productivity per agent was 16 policies in 2021-22 as compared to about 15 policies in 2020-21.

KUALA LUMPUR (May 31): The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) has expressed concern over the government’s plan to export skilled Malaysians to Japan, contending that the focus should be on efforts to shore up adequate local supply instead.
President Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai said as there was no prior consultations or details made available on this potential skill export to Japan, the federation hoped more information on the MoC by the Ministry of Human Resources could be shared so that the industry would be clear on how the collaboration might work.
“As it stands, Malaysia is currently facing an acute shortage of manpower, especially skilled workers, which is hampering our national economic recovery. The labour shortage has caused work stoppages and under production across the industry.
“Output has been severely constrained, resulting in the failure to fulfil existing orders and accepting new ones,” he said in a statement today.
The government recently said it planned to send local skilled graduates and/or eligible skilled workers to work in Japan under a memorandum of collaboration (MoC) between Malaysia and Japan.
Soh said the constraints on supply of goods to satisfy the required demand would add further inflationary pressures despite the recent benchmark interest rate hike by Bank Negara Malaysia which was intended to dampen inflation.
At this juncture, he said Malaysia is still preparing to get more skilled workers through various programmes such as Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and promotion of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) courses at various levels of the education system.
He said local public institutions and industries were enhancing collaboration initiatives in promoting TVET and STEM as a way to boost greater interest and participation of Malaysian youths in TVET and STEM education.
“This is also an initiative to support the technology transformation of our industries and at the same time to reduce the hiring of skilled expatriates.
“The MoC with Japan would somehow hamper the initiatives and hard work from all parties involved that has been ongoing over the past several years.
“The Covid-19 pandemic had accelerated industrial and technological transformation, hence, the critical shortage of skilled workers is envisaged to continue for the next few years as we are coping with the transformational changes and increased demand for skilled manpower,” he said.
In addition, he noted that Malaysia has already been suffering from brain drain for some years now as many Malaysians have been migrating overseas in search of better jobs.
Malaysia has been working hard to bring these diasporas back via various initiatives, Soh said, adding that as such, Malaysia should carry on with these sustainable programmes for self-help first and do all that is possible and necessary to ensure that the industries do not face a dearth of skilled workers.
“The country should be more concerned with the brain-drain issues then to be thinking about repatriating earnings from overseas via exchange programmes. Obtaining upskilling opportunities in developed countries could be something that Malaysian employers could consider after or as part of the on-the-job training.
“Instead of exporting skilled workers, Malaysia should consider memorandum of understanding (MoU) with companies in Malaysia for formal apprenticeship and upskilling programmes to be carried out by the global parent companies. This will help alleviate the skill shortages faced by our industries,” he said.
With the current employment condition of 80:20 ratio of local workers to foreign employees being imposed by the government, Soh said the MoC will further hamper the ability of Malaysian industries to obtain skilled manpower. – Bernama | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/05/31/fmm-expresses-concern-over-govts-plan-to-export-skilled-malaysians-to-japan/ | 2022-05-31T04:44:18Z | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/05/31/fmm-expresses-concern-over-govts-plan-to-export-skilled-malaysians-to-japan/ | true | 1 |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Just one more step and the stroller would have been on the curb.
The thought haunts Latanya Byrd years after a driver racing down Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia struck and killed her 27-year-old niece, Samara Banks, and three of Banks’ young sons as they crossed the 12-lane road. Nine years later, many of the conditions that led to the fatal crash still exist.
Byrd has since co-founded the nonprofit Families for Safe Streets and become an advocate for safer streets, including for Roosevelt Boulevard where 10% to 13% of the city’s traffic fatalities happened each year prior to the pandemic.
And now, amid a national surge in traffic fatalities and studies showing Black communities have been hit even harder during the pandemic, plans to redesign the city’s “corridor of death” could be gaining traction.
Roosevelt Boulevard is an almost 14-mile chaotic maze that passes through some of the city’s most diverse neighborhoods and census tracts with the highest poverty rates. Driving can be dangerous, but biking or walking can be even worse with some crosswalks longer than a football field and taking four light cycles to cross.
“You would not design a street or a road like that today,” said Christopher Puchalsky, policy director for Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation, Infrastructure and Sustainability. “It feels like an expressway, but it’s in the middle and between neighborhoods.”
Many of the city’s ideas for fixing Roosevelt have been championed under new federal strategies including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's “ safe system” approach that encourages taking into account more than just driver behavior when designing roads.
The Biden administration also created funding for safety improvements, including the bipartisan infrastructure law and a $5 billion aid package to cities over the next five years. Federal officials have pledged to prioritize equity in the wake of a disproportionate 23% jump in Black traffic fatalities in 2020.
Philadelphia is hoping for federal money to begin a long-term, billion-dollar redesign of Roosevelt outlined in a study released in 2019, but also to fund a series of smaller projects to improve safety at high-fatality stretches on the road by 2025.
Eva Gbaa has been impatient for changes. Her 17-year-old nephew, John “JJ” Gbaa Jr., was killed in a November 2018 hit-and-run as he tried to cross Roosevelt while walking home. He was alone at the time and a lot of the circumstances of the crash were unknown.
The family still agonizes over how someone could leave the big-hearted boy to die.
“JJ would ask me for money. ... But I didn’t know until his friends told me after he passed that he would buy them food if they didn’t have any,” said John Gbaa Sr., JJ’s father.
JJ and his father had moved to Philadelphia in 2017, and JJ was making huge strides in school.
“He would say, ‘Auntie, when I graduate, I will go to college and then I will take care of you.’ But he never had the chance,” Eva Gbaa said. “I hope, I hope they do something to make sure no family goes through this, so it doesn’t happen again.”
Around Philadelphia, aggressive driving during the pandemic drove fatalities to 156 in 2020, a sharp increase from 90 deaths in 2019. Preliminary data from the Philadelphia Police Department showed a decrease in 2021 to 133 fatalities, still above pre-pandemic levels.
Police data doesn’t include the race or ethnicity of people killed, but an Associated Press analysis showed fatalities in neighborhoods where more than 70% of residents are people of color increased from about 50% in 2019 to more than 67% in 2021.
Meanwhile, fatalities on Roosevelt stayed steady during the pandemic. Kelley Yemen, director of Philadelphia’s Complete Streets program, credited speed cameras, which went live at eight intersections in June 2020.
More than 224,000 warning tickets for driving more than 11 mph over the speed limit were issued in the first 30 days of a 60-day warning period, but by February 2021, that number had dropped to fewer than 17,000 tickets, according to data from the parking authority.
Overall, speeding is down by more than 91% on the road, city and parking authority officials said.
Despite the impact, the cameras will sunset in 2023 unless extended by the Legislature.
Byrd’s niece Samara Banks was 21 and pregnant with her first child in 2007 when she found a four-bedroom house a few blocks south of Roosevelt Boulevard. Her family had reservations because she’d have to cross it regularly to visit.
But Banks’ mother had died and she needed the larger home to take in her four younger siblings.
After spending a hot July day of swimming and water balloon fights with the kids, Banks decided to walk the mile home rather than calling a cab.
She was pushing her 7-month-old, Saa’mir Williams, and 23-month-old, Saa’sean Williams, in a double stroller. Her 4-year-old, Saa’deem Griffin, was holding onto the stroller and walking beside her.
Witnesses told police two cars had been racing, weaving between traffic and speeding down the boulevard. One of the drivers lost control and slammed into the family, throwing Banks more than 200 feet and crumpling the stroller. She and the three children died.
Banks’ younger sister and 5-year-old son, Saa’yon Griffin, were walking ahead and survived the crash.
Officials have since installed a traffic signal and pedestrian crossing at the intersection, renamed Banks Way. The two men accused of racing were eventually convicted or pleaded guilty to charges in the deaths.
“It was hard. I would tell Saa’yon he needed to be strong, and I remember there was this once he just stomped his foot and said no,” Byrd said. “He told me he was tired of being strong and he just wanted his mom and his brothers back. We all do.”

Singer Mika Singh expressed grief over the death of singer-politician Sidhu Moose Wala. Sidhu was shot dead in Punjab on Sunday. Mika called the incident ‘shameful’ and also said that Sidhu had told him about receiving death threats three years ago. Not just Sidhu, Mika said that many singers in Punjab feel threatened by gangsters.
During an interaction with News18, Mika revealed that singers who are extorted by gangsters often end up paying them off. Calling Sidhu’s death ‘shameful’, he said, “Singers in Punjab often get such threats from gangsters. I remember Parmish Verma, Gippy Grewal… even Sidhu told me three years ago that he has been receiving such threats. Many singers give money and save themselves. Budding singers get such threats. They know they do so many shows and earn well.”
Expressing his disappointment over the law and order situation in the state, Mika added, “He was no goon. He was not the kind of person who would drink and disturb people. He was just a singer who made a name for himself with his songs. So, if this can happen to such a nice boy and celebrity, that too without any fear of punishment, ye toh poora jaanwar vaala tareeka hai..”

In another interview with India Today, the singer questioned, “Is it a crime to be successful?” He also recalled his last conversation with the late singer and shared, “Last week he came to Mumbai, and I offered him my car to travel around in. He told me, ‘paaji, yahan toh security guard ke bina ghoomne mein koi dikkat hi nahi lagti. Koi ghoor ke nahi dekhta. Tension nahi hai.’ (Brother, I feel safe here. People aren’t staring. There is no tension) So, I told him to stay in Mumbai only in the coming time.”

Mika, on Monday, had posted a photo of himself with Sidhu and had said he can no longer proudly call himself a Punjabi. He wrote in his caption, “I always say I’m proud to be Punjabi but today I feel shame to be saying the same. A young talented boy just 28 years old, so popular and with such a bright future ahead of him @sidhu_moosewala killed in Punjab by Punjabi’s. May God bless his soul and he rest in eternal peace. My prayers are with his family. Request to #Punjabsarkar please take strong action against these criminals. Heartbreaking.”

BERLIN (AP) — German police recorded a significant increase of depictions of sexual abuse against children last year compared to the year before, the country’s top criminal police official said Monday.
More than 39,000 cases — or an increase of 108.8% — came to the attention of authorities last year, according to a special analysis of police crime statistics presented to reporters in Berlin. Those cases include the distribution, acquisition, possession and production of depictions of sexual violence against children and teenagers.
According to the report, known cases of child sexual abuse rose by 6.3% last year to more than 15,500. The annual figures only cover the fraction of cases that police are aware of — the real figures are expected to be much higher, said Holger Muench, the head of Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office.
Authorities estimate that one to two students per school class in Germany are affected by sexual violence.
Muench also said that more people are reporting suspicions of child abuse than in the past.
“We very much welcome this: serious acts of violence against children and young people, as the weakest members of society, must be particularly outlawed, prosecuted and brought to an end,” he said.
Germany’s Independent Commissioner on Child Sexual Abuse, Kerstin Claus, pointed out that Europe has become a hub for the dissemination of abuse images.
“We need increased European cooperation and significantly more investment in the human and technological resources of the investigating authorities,” she demanded. “Every investigative success is important because it offers the chance to stop acute child abuse and prevent further acts.”
Later Monday, police and prosecutors in Cologne presented new findings about a suspected sexual child abuse case.
Cologne Police President Falk Schnabel told reporters that a 44-year-old German man from Wermelskirchen near Cologne was arrested on suspicion of several cases of severe child abuse and possession of huge amounts of child abuse depictions on both video and photos.
“I am truly shocked and stunned,” Schnabel said. “I have not yet encountered such a level of inhuman brutality and callous indifference to the suffering of young children in pain with their cries and obvious fear.”
The married man, whose name wasn’t given in line with German privacy rule, offered his services as a babysitter online. He abused babies as young as a month old and teenagers up to 14 years old. The amount of data — from 1993 to the present — found on his computer is so big that investigators have only been able to scour about 10% of the abuse depictions even though the suspect was detained in December.
In addition to the child pornography, authorities also found a list on the man’s computer of more than 70 suspects who shared or possessed child abuse material with the main suspect. These suspects are now also being investigated, Schnabel said. | https://www.yourerie.com/news/international/germany-reports-rise-of-child-sex-abuse-depiction-of-abuse/ | 2022-05-31T05:00:53Z | https://www.yourerie.com/news/international/germany-reports-rise-of-child-sex-abuse-depiction-of-abuse/ | false | 23 |
The 14 Best Beaches on the East Coast
You'd be insulted—and argue otherwise—if someone claimed every Southern state is exactly alike, right? Well, we're here to mount a similar defense of the East Coast. The region tends to get lumped together, as if 2,000 miles of Atlantic coastline only contains a single landscape or beachgoing culture. But the truth is, the eastern seaboard is as varied as the people that make it up. Which means you're only cheating yourself if you declare, "Seen one beach, seen 'em all." From Maine to Florida, we've put a pin in the can't-miss stretches of East Coast shoreline. With everything from sea turtles to powdery sand to dunes that'll leave you breathless, these 14 spots prove that every beach has its own identity.
REPLY
Hammonasset Beach State Park, Connecticut
As the largest shoreline park in Connecticut, this stunning locale has attracted visitors since its official opening in 1920—and we understand its appeal: With everything from swimming and beach-strolling to boating, biking, kayaking, camping, and fishing, Hammonasset eliminates any possibility of beachfront boredom. There's even an auditory experience to enjoy: When the tide comes in at Meigs Point, clinking shells create a seaside chorus, which is why locals have dubbed the area the "singing beach." If your kiddos need a break from the sun, befriend the creatures in the touch tanks at Meigs Point Nature Center.

Cape Henlopen State Park, Delaware
With its gentle dunes and unbeatable views of historic lighthouses, this six-mile stretch of shoreline is a peaceful escape from the bustle of other Delaware beaches. Borrow a free bike for two hours and traverse the park's varied landscape (which ranges from maritime forest to sandy shores), or head to the overlook and see if you spot any dolphins or seals.
2 of 14
Canaveral National Seashore, Florida
At 24 miles long, this barrier island is the longest undeveloped stretch on the entire east coast of Florida. Nestled between the charming towns of New Smyrna Beach and Titusville, the sands of Canaveral National Seashore are a sanctuary not just for beachgoers, but for wildlife, including several endangered species. The park is specifically known as a refuge for sea turtles, which nest on its tawny shoreline.
3 of 14
Tybee Island, Georgia
A barrier island with five miles of powdery sands and five separate beaches, Tybee Island is known as "Savannah's Beach" for its easy access to the thriving downtown just 20 minutes away. The wide beaches are great for fat-tire cruising or strolling, while warm waters make for fantastic swimming nearly year-round.
4 of 14
Ogunquit Beach, Maine
Although Maine is typically remembered for its rocky shores, you'll find stellar white beaches at its southern end, with Ogunquit—the native Algonquin tribe's word for "beautiful place by the sea"—as the crown jewel. The former home of an artist's colony, this New England beach extends for three gorgeous miles, with broad, pale sands. Insiders know that the middle stretch is the quietest place to sunbathe.
5 of 14
South Ocean Beach, Maryland
Wild, windy, and where horses roam free, Assateague Island National Seashore has that delightful middle-of-nowhere feel, with South Ocean Beach as its "civilized" stretch. The park has 12 miles of drivable shoreline (with a proper OSV permit) and offers superb crabbing, clamming, surf fishing, and wave riding in the steady Atlantic swell.
6 of 14
Coast Guard Beach, Massachusetts
Hemmed in by dunes and open to the Atlantic (but with mostly gentle waves), this beach is the beginning of a 20-plus-mile-long run of unbroken coastline that Henry David Thoreau called "The Great Beach." Though the poet is known for walking what's now the Cape Cod National Seashore, this portion is also a prime spot for swimming (and is close to the quaint village of Eastham). History lovers will enjoy lazing where the Mayflower made landfall in 1620.

Hampton Beach, New Hampshire
Who says New Hampshire doesn't have beach bonafides? Although its shore is the shortest of any coastal state—only 13 miles long—you won't want to bypass Hampton Beach. Think wide beaches, sweeping Atlantic views, and family-friendly amusements along the boardwalk. It's laid-back and known for being clean.
8 of 14
The Cove, New Jersey
With 2.5 miles of beaches facing the Atlantic on one side and the Delaware Bay on the other, Cape May has sandy charm in spades. (Did we mention the town is packed with intricate Victorian homes?) One among several terrific city beaches here, The Cove—with its gentle slope and steady swell—is chief among the treasures and beloved by families and surfers alike.
9 of 14
Main Beach, New York
Even celebrities can't resist hitting this gorgeous, broad beach in the Hamptons. And who can blame them? One of five beaches owned by the Village of East Hampton, Main Beach is impeccably clean (in and out of the water!) and has luxuriously soft sands.
10 of 14
Ocracoke Beach, North Carolina
North Carolina is blessed with a bounty of extraordinary beaches, so for Ocracoke to earn a spot on this list, it has to possess some serious Outer Banks magic. It's hard to beat these vacation-spot credentials: barrier-island privacy, 16 miles of undeveloped dunes and wild sands, off-road vehicle access, and top-notch seashell hunting.
11 of 14
Crescent Beach, Rhode Island
You'll have to hop a ferry to reach Block Island, the teardrop-shaped isle 12 miles south of the Rhode Island coast, but it's worth the journey. Here on this stunning slice of land, known by Native Americans as "Little God's Island," lies Crescent Beach. This 2.5-mile, white-sand stretch offers family-friendly amenities (hello, cabanas!) and glorious surf. And it's just a short walk from the ferry.
12 of 14
Folly Beach, South Carolina
A short drive from Charleston, Folly Beach is a barrier island both near to city life and millions of miles away. Funky, free-spirited, and full of surfers, sun-seekers, and quirky souls, this is off-the-beaten-path beach life in all its glory. Start your adventure at Center Beach and the Folly Pier, then head to Folly Beach County Park, at the island's west end, for a true escape. Peek at the pelican rookery while you're there.
13 of 14
Sandbridge Beach, Virginia
Although officially a part of the Virginia Beach metro area, you won't catch any boardwalk-and-funnel-cake vibes at this secluded escape. Try five miles of pristine dunes and sea oats (a tall grass known for its spiky plumes) blowing in the wind. Situated alongside a serene community of beach houses and small restaurants, this spot is nothing short of an East Coast paradise. | https://www.southernliving.com/travel/best-east-coast-beaches | 2022-05-31T05:02:26Z | https://www.southernliving.com/travel/best-east-coast-beaches | false | 1 |

- Evrysdi is the first and only at-home administered treatment for patients living with SMA -
- Evrysdi has proven efficacy in babies, children and adults with more than 5,000 patients treated to date -
SOUTH PLAINFIELD, N.J., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTCT) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a label extension for Evrysdi® (risdiplam) to include infants under 2 months old with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
"The label extension for Evrysdi to include pre-symptomatic infants is the critical next step for intervening as early as possible in treating babies with SMA," said Stuart W. Peltz, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, PTC Therapeutics. "Evrysdi treatment allowed almost all of the babies to achieve developmental milestones in a similar timeframe as infants who don't have SMA. We are proud that such a transformative treatment for SMA will be available to these infants."
The approval is based on interim efficacy and safety data from the RAINBOWFISH study in newborns, which showed that pre-symptomatic babies treated with Evrysdi achieved key milestones, such as sitting and standing, with half walking after 12 months of treatment. All infants were alive at 12 months without permanent ventilation.
Evrysdi is designed to treat SMA by increasing and sustaining the production of the SMN protein, which is found throughout the body and is critical for maintaining healthy motor neurons and movement. Evrysdi was based on PTC's splicing platform. Evrysdi is marketed by Roche and in the United States by Genentech, a member of the Roche Group. Roche leads the clinical development of Evrysdi as part of a collaboration with the SMA Foundation and PTC Therapeutics.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe, progressive neuromuscular disease that can be fatal. It affects approximately 1 in 10,000 babies and when untreated is the leading genetic cause of infant mortality. SMA is caused by a mutation of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, which leads to a deficiency of SMN protein. This protein is found throughout the body and is essential to the function of nerves that control muscles and movement. Without it, nerve cells cannot function correctly, leading to progressive muscle weakness over time. Depending on the type of SMA, an individual's physical strength and their ability to walk, eat or breathe can be significantly diminished or lost.
Evrysdi is a survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2)-directed RNA splicing modifier designed to treat SMA caused by mutations in chromosome 5q that lead to SMN protein deficiency. Evrysdi is designed to distribute evenly to all parts of the body, including the central nervous system (CNS), and it is administered daily at home in liquid form by mouth or feeding tube.
Evrysdi is designed to treat SMA by increasing and sustaining the production of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral tissues. SMN protein is found throughout the body and is critical for maintaining healthy motor neurons and movement.
Evrysdi was granted PRIME designation by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2018 and Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA in 2017. In 2021, Evrysdi was awarded Drug Discovery of the Year by the British Pharmacological Society, as well as the Society for Medicines Research Award for Drug Discovery. Evrysdi is currently approved in 81 countries and the dossier is under review in a further 27 countries. Evrysdi is marketed in the United States by Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, and marketed in rest of world by Roche.
FIREFISH (NCT02913482) is an open-label, two-part pivotal clinical trial in infants with Type 1 SMA. Part 1 was a dose-escalation study in 21 infants with the primary objective of assessing the safety profile of Evrysdi in infants and determining the dose for Part 2. Part 2 is a pivotal, single-arm study of Evrysdi in 41 infants with Type 1 SMA treated for two years followed by an open-label extension. The primary objective of Part 2 was to assess efficacy as measured by the proportion of infants sitting without support after 12 months of treatment, as assessed in the Gross Motor Scale of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development - Third Edition (BSID-III) (defined as sitting without support for five seconds). The study met its primary endpoint.
SUNFISH (NCT02908685) is a two-part, double-blind, placebo controlled pivotal study in people aged 2 to 25 years with Types 2 or 3 SMA. Part 1 (n=51) determined the dose for the confirmatory Part 2. Part 2 (n=180) evaluated motor function using the Motor Function Measure 32 (MFM-32) scale at 12 months. MFM-32 is a validated scale used to evaluate fine and gross motor function in people with neurological disorders, including SMA. The study met its primary endpoint.
Clinical Trial Safety Data
The safety profile of Evrysdi was established across FIREFISH and SUNFISH pivotal trials. The most common adverse reactions in later-onset SMA (incidence of at least 10 percent of patients treated with Evrysdi and more frequently than control) were fever, diarrhea, and rash. The most common adverse reactions in infantile-onset SMA were similar to those observed in later-onset SMA patients. Additionally, the most common adverse reactions (incidence of at least 10 percent) were upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, constipation, and vomiting.
In addition to FIREFISH and SUNFISH, Evrysdi is being evaluated in a broad range of people with SMA in the following studies:
JEWELFISH (NCT03032172) is an open-label exploratory trial designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in people with SMA aged 6 months to 60 years who received other investigational or approved SMA therapies for at least 90 days prior to receiving Evrysdi. The study has completed recruitment (n=174).
RAINBOWFISH (NCT03779334) is an open-label, single-arm, multi-center study, investigating the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of Evrysdi in babies (~n=25) from birth to 6 weeks old (at first dose), with genetically diagnosed SMA, who are not yet presenting symptoms. The study is fully enrolled.

Eric G. Ward STRAFFORD — Longtime coach, Eric G. Ward, of Strafford, Vermont, passed away on May 11, 2022, at age 64, after a yearlong battle with cancer. Eric will be remembered for devoting his life to cultivating the minds of young people to love the sport of basketball and to become better people through his coaching. Born in Hanover, New Hampshire, and growing up in Strafford, he began his love of sports at a very young age playing Little League baseball, taking ski lessons, and playing endless hours of hoops in the driveway. He also was an avid and devoted fan of the Red Sox, Celtics, New England Patriots and Boston Bruins. Eric attended Thetford Academy and the University of Vermont. He made the decision to follow in his father’s footsteps and began working for the U.S. Postal Service. At the same time, he began coaching basketball at the lower levels which nurtured and fostered his love of coaching. After 10 years at coaching at the lower levels, Eric moved up to coaching junior varsity at Thetford Academy. Eric had a profound appreciation for what he had around him. This could be seen over and over again on the basketball court as a coach, and his desire to always be planning for the next step. He was a natural leader on the basketball court. Part of the reason Eric was so successful as a coach was because he was able to mix intensity with a calming influence and do which was needed at the right time. For Eric, basketball was a year-round sport. He began coaching AAU basketball and he guided AAU teams at lower levels for several years, indoctrinating the girls in the Thetford Academy Panther way years before they would reach ninth grade. He traveled with “his girls” from West Virginia to Texas, bringing home a national championship. He was always going to sporting events and using them as educational tools to put in his coaching toolbox. His love of sports took him to the Kentucky Derby and the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Eric attended the infamous Patriots “Snow Bowl" in Foxboro, 2001, the beginning of the Tom Brady era. Of course, the Red Sox and Celtics games were always on his calendar. He took up marathon training and competed in the Bay State Marathon, New York City Marathon, Marine Corps Marathon, and the 100th running of the Boston Marathon. In 2009, Eric was offered a varsity girls coaching position at Thetford Academy. He relished the opportunity to build the program from the ground up. Four years later, the Thetford Academy girls basketball program was considered a powerhouse in Division III. In 2014, Eric took his then-top-ranked Thetford Panthers to the Vermont Principals Association Division III Girls final at Barre Auditorium. In that game, they came away with 90-84 victory. This would be the Thetford Academy girls first basketball title in school history. Minutes after this victory, Eric hiked into the grandstand to present a medal to a top fan of the Panthers. Weeks before the championship game, the fan had lost his wife to pancreatic cancer. In this moment of victory, Eric took the time to think of others. That was the Eric way. Eric took the Panthers to six straight D-III title games between 2014-2020 bringing home the championship title in 2014, 2017, 2019 and 2020. Eric was on the board for the Vermont Basketball Coaches Association. Many friendships had been formed during his 42 years of coaching, and he enjoyed time spent with coaches even if they were a competitor for the evening. He forged lifelong relationships with coaches and referees. Eric’s peers remember him as a great coach and a true ambassador of the sport. He was a motivator and fighter to the end, and one of the brightest and most giving men. Great coaches are gifted with the ability to unlock the best in any player they coach. Eric was a great coach. His coaching philosophy was that basketball is something that should be enjoyed. He would remind the girls that, while many lessons can be learned from both the game and from being part of a team, it is only a small part of life, and that, win or lose, it should always be fun. Eric will be remembered for his unassuming nature, his integrity, his infectious jokester ways, and his ability to make those in his presence feel valued. He made sure to give a part of himself to everyone he met, and made an impact on everyone he coached. There will be a huge void and he will be greatly missed. Coaching his girls, loving, and caring for every player on and off the court, great sportsmanship, camaraderie, and a great influence, will be his legacy. To most, he was known as coach, but this kind, gentle man was also a devoted and loving son, brother and uncle. He adored his family and loved them fiercely, and they loved him dearly. Eric also campaigned for the homeless animals in shelters. Eric rescued his beloved Sophie who had been dumped on the side of the road. Their bond was undeniable, and Sophie thanked him every day for saving her by being his loyal companion. Eric was predeceased by his parents, Marlene and Ralph Ward. He is survived by sister, Pam Robinson, his niece, Megan Robinson, and his brother-in-law, Michael Robinson, all of Virginia Beach, Virginia; his Aunt Aldea Brown, of San Antonio, Texas; and dear friends, Jamie Emerson, of Bedford, Massachusetts, and Rett Emerson, of Strafford, Vermont, who were like brothers to Eric. Pam and Megan would like to thank Rett and Jamie and Eric’s close friend, Jeff Vaughn, for their unwavering support and friendship during his lifetime, but also during Eric’s time in the ICU. They would also like to thank Dr. Gabriel Brooks, Eric’s oncologist at Dartmouth-Hitchcock who supported Eric in his successful quest to coach one more season, and Dr. Jeffery Munson for his kind, understanding ways and the entire ICU team at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. A special thank-you to Dr. Charles Whang and the entire staff at the Jack Bryne Center for their compassion and care to the end. Memorial contributions may be made to The Prouty supporting the Dartmouth Cancer Center or the Eric Ward Memorial Fund, Thetford Academy Development Office, 304 Academy Road, Thetford Center, VT 05075. There will be a Celebration of Eric’s Life on Saturday, Sept. 24, 4:30 p.m. at the Thetford Academy Gymnasium. A private message of sympathy for the family may be shared at www.boardwayandcilley.com. The Boardway and Cilley Funeral Home, Chelsea, Vermont, is in charge of arrangements.

Explosions heard at Nebraska chemical fire; evacuations recommended
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - As thick black smoke visible from miles away billowed above a chemical fire in downtown Omaha, Nebraska, fire officials were recommending residents nearby evacuate.
Omaha Fire confirmed in a report that a fire broke out in an industrial building near 20th Street and Woolworth Avenue a few minutes before 7 p.m. Monday.
Fire officials had initially advised sheltering in place but later sent an emergency alert out recommending those between 13th and 20th streets and Leavenworth to Martha streets evacuate because of “smoke and fire,” WOWT reports.
Authorities sent an alert out around 10:30 p.m. about an evacuation site that had been set up at the Columbus Community Center, where Red Cross was on hand to assist, fire officials said.
Fire crews initially classified the blaze as a two-alarm fire, and firefighters were able to get inside the building. But the fire was larger than they anticipated, and crews had to exit shortly thereafter, upgrading the incident to a three-alarm fire officially at 7:45 p.m.
WOWT crews at the scene reported hearing explosions around 8:15 p.m. Explosions continued every few minutes thereafter as propane tanks and other chemical containers caught fire.
The explosions seemed to subside about a half-hour later.
As of about 9:15 p.m., no injuries had been reported. The front part of the building collapsed, but no firefighters were inside when that happened, the battalion chief said. According to the OFD report received late Monday, the fire penetrated the roof, “causing walls to become structurally unstable.”
Fire crews were expecting to fight the fire all night long, hoping that there might be rain to help extinguish the flames.
According to the fire report, seven engines, three trucks and two medics were deployed, as were Fire Investigation Units and Haz-mat Rescue crews.
Crews with the Metropolitan Utilities District were also assisting, as were Union Pacific and Burlington Northern, according to the OFD report. Police were also on site, as there were high-voltage transmission lines at the scene, the report states.
The investigation into the fire remains ongoing, but the OFD report also noted that anyone with information about potential arson should call its hotline at 402-444-FIRE; or call Crimestoppers at 402-444-STOP.
The OFD report states that the structure is valued at $456,200. That doesn’t include the contents, the value of which has not yet been determined.

The family of Punjabi singer-politician Sidhu Moose Wala, who was shot dead on Sunday, 29 May, took the body back home on Tuesday morning, reported news agency ANI.
The incident took place just a day after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government scaled down his security cover.
The body had been taken to Mansa Civil Hospital for a forensic examination. The postmortem was conducted by a five-member forensic team of doctors at the hospital in Mansa.
According to reports, the autopsy report has suggested that the body had 20-25 bullet injuries, which left its mark fatally on the left lung and liver.
The cremation will be held on Tuesday at Moose Wala's native village Moosa in Punjab's Mansa district, his family said.
4 Arrests From Dehradun
On Monday, the Uttarakhand and Punjab Special Task Force arrested four people from Nayagaon area of Dehradun in connection with Moose Wala's murder.
The Punjab STF received information that the accused were in Dehradun, after which they contacted the Uttarakhand STF. A blockade was imposed in the Nayagaon area from Monday afternoon.
The joint STF team arrested the accused while they were on the way to Hemkund Sahib from Shimla bypass road and took them to Nayagaon police station for questioning.
Moose Wala Shot Dead in Punjab
Moose Wala was killed by unknown gunmen near Jawaharke village in Punjab's Mansa district on Sunday, 29 May.
Punjab Police later claimed that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Goldy Brar, and their associates were involved in the killing.
Punjab Director General of Police VK Bhawra said that Moose Wala's killing seemed to be the result of an inter-gang rivalry.
Speaking to the media hours after Moose Wala's murder, Punjab DGP Bhawra said, "The Lawrence Bishnoi gang is involved in this murder. Lucky, a member of the gang, has taken responsibility from Canada."

Which K’nex building sets are best?
K’nex are educational construction and building sets that use interlocking plastic rods and connectors to build models, machines and architectural structures. Because the many different pieces are able to interlock in different directions and at different angles, the number of possible creations is endless.
K’nex helps kids develop their fine motor skills and learn to solve problems. If you are looking for a K’nex building set that teaches kids about motion, propulsion, acceleration and velocity while they play, take a look at the K’nex Education STEM Explorations Vehicle Building Set.
What to know before you buy a K’nex building set
K’nex has building toys designed for all age groups and skill levels. Kids assemble their model by looking at the pictures, finding the pieces in their set that match in shape, size and color and clicking them together. All pieces of the same size and shape come in the same color. Instructions include piece-by-piece photos alongside easily understandable text.
Rods
K’nex rods come in many different lengths and degrees of flexibility. Rods come in rigid, slightly flexible and very flexible versions to create different shapes.
Connectors
K’nex connectors link rods together. Connectors are also color-coded and have anywhere from two to more than a dozen ways to connect rods.
What to look for in a quality K’nex building set

K’nex building sets FAQ

Wonggoys will be releasing their third and final album titled Organic on Saturday, June 4 with a live concert at Waterfront Cebu City Hotel. Their previous releases were the pop and acoustic- driven I’m Not Sure What To Say But I’ll Say It Anyway in 2010 and the more experimental High Hello in 2017.
For more info, follow 22 Tango Music Group and Wonggoys on Facebook and Instagram.
Family, the pandemic, love, and all the sentiments that come in between are the themes surrounding Organic, which took two years to complete. The album title perfectly encapsulates the process behind the album in terms of songwriting and production. The trio of brothers, Gabe, Bill, and Kyle, are instinctive songwriters who follow a less restrictive method in creating their songs, hence a bop about shoes borne out of a Facebook post and a more relatively serious ballad co-exist harmoniously in a single album. The 10-track album honors each of the boys’ influences including pop, folk, indie rock, and the hip-hop and alternative rock of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The finished product remains true to the distinct Wonggoys sound while offering something fresh and new as it refuses to be boxed into a single genre or category.
To mark their third and final release, Wonggoys will be celebrating with a bang: a grand album launch on Saturday, June 4 at the Mediterranean Hall of Waterfront Cebu City Hotel at 7:00 PM. Concert goers can expect live performances by DJ Short, Relden, Jericho Streegan, Julia Q, and The Sundown. Official tickets are sold at Php 600 as ballers with each having a uniquely assigned number. To purchase tickets, please text 0915 668 1306.

‘American Pie’ singer Don McLean cancels NRA meeting performance
( The Hill ) – “American Pie” singer Don McLean is nixing a performance at the annual National Rifle Association (NRA) meeting in the wake of the school shooting in Texas that killed at least 19 children.
“In light of the recent events in Texas, I have decided it would be disrespectful and hurtful for me to perform for the NRA at their convention in Houston this week,” McLean said in a Wednesday statement, according multiple reports.
“I’m sure all the folks planning to attend this event are shocked and sickened by these events as well. After all, we are all Americans,” the 76-year-old Grammy Award winner said.
“I share the sorrow for this terrible, cruel loss with the rest of the nation,” McLean said.
McLean’s representatives didn’t immediately return The Hill’s request for comment on Thursday.
Pelosi: Lawmakers’ careers ‘insignificant’ compared to survival of America’s kidsNineteen children and two teachers were killed in Tuesday’s shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
The NRA indicated in a statement a day after the deadly shooting that the event would still take place. Former President Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) are among the speakers scheduled to appear at the gathering.
Lee Greenwood, famous for his 1984 hit “God Bless the U.S.A.,” is also poised to perform at the event, along with T. Graham Brown, Danielle Peck, Larry Gatlin, Jacob Bryant and Larry Stewart.

World No-Tobacco Day 2022: Difficult but required; quit or it may get worse
World No-Tobacco Day 2022: To control the cravings over the day commonly used and available is gum, and one can use up to 24 pieces of gum per day for the first six weeks of treatment
There is clear evidence that shows that cessation of smoking has substantial health benefits and drugs have demonstrated reduction of nicotine withdrawal symptoms which makes it easier to stop smoking (as nicotine in cigarettes creates dependency). All of the available first-line therapies are reasonably safe and have proved to be efficacious in various studies.
Nicotine replacement therapy(NRT)
Nicotine is the addictive substance in cigarettes and so for people who want to quit smoking, these replacement therapies help them with the unwanted and disturbing psychological symptoms that are otherwise experienced when they abstain from tobacco.
It comes in various forms – patch, gums, lozenges, inhalers, nasal or mouth spray and sublingual tablet. They are available over the counter and most commonly used and backed up by robust scientific evidence in a combination of a transdermal (applied on skin) patch and gum. The dosing of NRT depends on a number of cigarettes smoked by a person each day. Patch works as a long-acting agent and has effect for 24 hours, so is replaced every morning and applied on a non-hairy skin site.
To control the cravings over the day commonly used and available is gum, and one can use up to 24 pieces of gum per day for the first six weeks of treatment. "Chew and park" is the technique recommended for its proper usage: chew the gum until the nicotine taste appears, then "park" the gum against the buccal mucosa until the taste disappears, then chew a few more times to release more nicotine. Repeat this for 30 minutes, then discard it and you can use it every 2-3 hours or whenever there is an urge. The therapy has to be used for at least 3 months and after 4-6 weeks of treatment, gradually its use is reduced.
Varenicline (marketed by Pfizer as Chantix or Champix): It works by blocking nicotine receptors in the brain, reducing cravings and nicotine withdrawal effects. It interrupts the reinforcing effects of nicotine that lead to its dependence and thereby reduces the rewarding aspects of a cigarette when a person smokes while on this drug.
It has been found to be the most effective out of all the first-line treatment options available and is usually combined with a nicotine patch for a greater benefit.
Bupropion (marketed by GlaxoSmithKline as Zyban): It is an antidepressant and enhances the release of dopamine, the chemical in the brain that makes people feel good. It reduces irritability and cognitive issues that are experienced by someone who quits smoking. It is cheaper as compared to varenicline.
E-cigarettes (vaping): E-cigarettes are nicotine delivery devices that uses a battery to aerosolize nicotine. Many brands and varieties are available that vary in the rate and amount of nicotine delivery. Trials have shown increased rates of smoking abstinence at 6 and 12 months with the use of E-cigarettes but experts still don’t know about the long term health effects of this product.
When it was launched it was thought to be a safer option as tobacco isn’t burned in them but their safety is uncertain as recent data has shown that there is a possibility of severe adverse effects such as acute lung injury which causes severe lung damage in some. Even though many E-cigarettes might contain less nicotine than regular cigarettes, this does not mean they are harmless. In addition to the possible health effects, vaping can lead to nicotine dependence or addiction.
To date, no e-cigarette has been evaluated or approved by the FDA as a medical product for smoking cessation and its use is banned in India.
Non-medical interventions:Combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy is the most effective and useful strategy to help someone achieve abstinence from smoking.
Behavioural therapy: it is a form of counselling which helps and guides someone to quit an addictive and harmful habit.
There are speciality clinics run by various multi-speciality hospitals, or brief face-to-face counselling by the physician can also aid with external support provided by telephone or support groups.
The government has established a National level tobacco cessation Quitline with a toll-free number (1800-112-356) and the services are available in regional languages. There are trained counsellors and coaches that walk you through the quitting phase and help you with a quit date and plan, regular follow-ups, support to get medicines, and tackling cravings and withdrawals.
Acupuncture: Although less effective than medical therapies but research has shown its beneficial effect on long term abstinence and is a reasonable additional therapy to aid smoking cessation. Hormones like endorphins are released when one stimulates some specific points in the body and this help to reduce the urge to smoke and make the withdrawal symptoms milder.
Yoga, meditation or tai chi: When practised at least 2-3 times a week have been shown by research to help people either stop smoking or reduce the number of cigarettes. They help in improving overall mental health, blood pressure and perseverance required to quit smoking.
Mobile apps: These days there are apps available that help you with quitting plan and support and help to keep track of your progress.
Impact on oral health from smoking:
The various and common oral problems affecting people who smoke are:
- Staining of teeth- due to nicotine and tar in tobacco. It can make teeth yellow to brown in heavy smokers.
- Bad breath (halitosis) and bad taste
- Reduced taste sensations
- Higher chances of tooth loss and decay- as it causes damage of tissue surrounding the tooth (periodontitis)
- Gum diseases, bacterial plaques - gums are affected because smoking causes a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream, so the infected gums don't heal properly and are a good nidus for infection.
- Mouth cancer - Chewing tobacco and snuff can cause cancer in the cheek, gums, and lips. Just as with a pipe, cancer often occurs where the tobacco is held in the mouth. Smokers are at a 10 times higher risk for oral cancer compared to non-smokers.
- Slow and delayed recovery after gum or mouth surgery

Mystery as decomposed body of teen girl found in creek a month after vanishing when she was dropped off at home
A BADLY decomposed body found in an isolated creek in Sydney's south-west is believed to be that of teenager Merna Kasha, who vanished on 28 April.
Merna, 18, disappeared after a family member dropped her off on Kihilla St in the Sydney suburb of Fairfield Heights last month.
Emergency crews were dispatched to Green Valley Creek in Canley Heights - a 10min drive from Merna's home - on Saturday following reports that a body had been discovered.
"Police recovered the body of a woman from a creek in Sydney’s west at the weekend," New South Wales (NSW) police said in a statement.
"The body is yet to be formally identified but is believed to be that of a woman reported missing from the Fairfield area."
The body was discovered at the end of a dead-end street, amid dense bushes.
The case is mired in mystery as it has now been revealed that Merna had been in contact with her family a few days after vanishing from Kihilla St.
She has not been seen or heard from since.
Just last week, police made a new appeal for information regarding Merna's whereabouts.
Wellwishers have inundated the NSW Police Facebook page with messages of support for Merna's family.

'Very sad news I hope she's found safe and very soon our prayers are with you Feryal...hope God helps you to find your beautiful daughter," a user wrote.
In their appeal for public assistance, police said Merna would regularly use public transport and was known to socialise around the Fairfield Heights and Liverpool areas.
The teenager is described as being of Middle Eastern-Mediterranean appearance, about 160 centimetres tall, slim build, with dark brown, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes.
The teen girl has a tattoo along the middle of her back, and piercings in her lip, nose, and cheek.
Forensic examinations are currently underway in the muddy creek to determine the identity and the cause of death, and police established a crime scene.
Merna's family has been notified.
NSW Police are yet to confirm whether they are treating the death as suspicious.
It is anticipated police will investigate how Merna came to be at the creek off Pitt St, Canley Heights.
The region has seen significant rainfall in the past few weeks and police divers were dispatched to scour the creek bed.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. | https://www.thesun.ie/news/8874571/mystery-merna-kasha-body-discovered-sydney/ | 2022-05-31T05:57:40Z | https://www.thesun.ie/news/8874571/mystery-merna-kasha-body-discovered-sydney/ | true | 4 |

The Chief Executive of Dublin Airport has refused to comment in person on the unfolding queuing crisis that happened on his watch.
Outgoing Chief Executive of the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) Dalton Philips did not reply in person to The Star - despite repeated efforts by us to contact him directly amid growing public outrage on Monday.
But in a later interview, the DAA’s spokesman did admit to us that the company has “let the country down.”
Read More:Taoiseach Micheal Martin on 'unacceptable' Dublin Airport scenes as he rules out deploying army
The Star made repeated requests to DAA for Mr Philips himself to comment on the issue, before a spokesman said that he is “not available for interview unfortunately.”
We later called to the airport chief’s plush home in Co Wicklow, where his wife said that her husband was quite accessible - and would likely comment if contacted through his spokespersons.
“I would go through his spokespeople. He’s really always open for commenting.”
“He’s doing his very best,” she said.
“He will want to do his very best, that’s the kind of guy he is. If you ask anyone that’s what they're going to say. He doesn't disappear in the midst of things,” she said.
Following the polite conversation The Star promptly left Mr Philips' property - and was subsequently contacted by the DAA’s spokesman Kevin Cullinane, who complained about our attempt to approach Mr Philips directly.
“Calling out to his private house is out of bounds,” he said, despite us receiving no complaint from Mr Philips' wife when we spoke to her.
Mr Cullinane added that his boss Mr Philips has been at “multiple meetings trying to resolve this situation.”
And he claimed that Mr Philips, who is moving onto a new position in September, was at work in the airport since the early hours of the morning.
“He has been at work since the crack of dawn this morning. You would find him at his office five or six days a week,” he said.
He also insisted that Mr Philips is readily available to speak to media.
“He’s one of the most amenable CEOs and is often available for comment and for media,” he said.
But when pressed if we could speak to Mr Philips, Mr Cullinane said his boss was not available to us or any other media organisation.
“He’s under considerable time pressure to send a report to the Minister. We are burning the midnight oil here,” he said.
The DAA has been asked to bring about a report of solutions to Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan and junior Minister Hildegarde Naughton by Tuesday - after over 1,000 passengers missed their flights amid the chaos at the airport on Sunday.
Asked if Mr Philips, who is set to take up a new job at Greencore Group in September would now consider stepping down from his role sooner - Mr Cullinane said he would not.
“The question doesn’t arise because he previously announced he was leaving the organisation in September for Greencore,” he said.
Asked if the DAA is embarrassed by the lengthy queues outside Terminal One and Two on Sunday, Mr Cullinane was frank and said the company has “let the country down.”
“We’ve apologised unreservedly to passengers for having to experience lengthy queues.
“It’s not something we want to see and we know that we let ourselves down, we let the passengers down and we let the country down.
“We don't want to have a repeat of that,” he said.
However there are growing concerns of a repeat as an estimated 100,000 passengers are expected to come through Dublin Airport over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The DAA is now under increasing pressure to bring proposals to the government to resolve the crisis - with the Minister for Transport vowing to meet with management every day this week.
And when asked if he could assure the public that such a crisis won’t be repeated next weekend - Mr Cullinane said:
“That has our full focus since yesterday and it’s consuming everyone in management now that we make sure that that doesn’t happen (again).
“We want people to have a top class passenger experience .
“I can’t say there hasn’t been challenges, but we’ve been ramping up since the pandemic and making steady progress.
“On Sunday we tripped up and we put our hands up for it and said we got it wrong.
He added that it was now DAA’s “complete and utter focus” to resolve the crowding issues and to put a plan in place to prevent further problems as soon as possible.
Asked if and when Mr Philips might be available to speak on the issue himself, Mr Cullinane said his boss might be free to speak in the coming days.
“Once we get over the challenges of today and deadlines for tomorrow we would be more than happy to oblige.
“But right now there has been significant political attention and that has to be our first challenge here - to get things right.
“That’s his priority right now,” he said.
Mr Cullinane’s comments come after Transport Minister Eamon Ryan spoke to The Star not long after the meeting with Mr Philips took place.
Asked about what was said at the meeting, Minister Ryan said: “It happened earlier this morning. It was made very clear to them the unacceptability of what’s happened.”
Meanwhile passengers did face further queues at Dublin Airport on Monday morning - after many of those who missed their flights on Sunday tried to get another flight out.
Speaking as public anger continued, Taoiseach Micheál Martin ruled out deploying the army to prevent a repeat of chaotic scenes at Dublin Airport.
Mr Martin was speaking to reporters in Brussels on Monday evening and said it was “unacceptable” that one thousand people had missed their flight over the weekend.
"People should not be treated in that way.
“There will be daily meetings between the Department of Transport and the DAA. The Government is looking for a very clear plan to ensure that this type of thing doesn't happen again.
“It has to be done now to improve the operational efficiency at Dublin Airport.”

- “Water is part of our culture, it is intrinsic to the Amazon,” said José Manuyama, a member of a river defense committee in his native Requena, a town located in the department of Loreto, the largest in Peru, covering 28 percent of the national territory.
Despite the large size of this Amazon rainforest department or province located in the northeast of the country, data from 2020 indicated that it barely exceeded one million inhabitants, including some 220,000 indigenous people, in a country with a total population of 32.7 million.
A teacher by profession and a member of the Kukama indigenous people, one of the 51 officially recognized in Peru’s Amazon rainforest region, Manuyama reminisced about his childhood near a small river in a conversation with IPS during the Second Interregional Meeting of Defenders of Rivers and Territories, held in Lima on May 25.
“We would wait for the high water season and the floods, because that was our world. When the water comes, it’s used for bathing, for fishing, it’s a whole world adapted to water,” he said.
And he added: “We also waited for the floods to pass, which left us enormous areas of land where the forest would grow and where my mother would plant her cucumbers, her corn. Seeing the river, the transparent water, that beautiful, fertile world: that’s where I grew up.”
Today, approaching the age of 50, Manuyama is also an activist in defense of nature and rivers in the face of continuous aggressions from extractive economic activities that threaten the different forms of life in his home region.
Manuyama is a member of a collective in defense of the Nanay River that runs through the department of Loreto. It is one of the tributaries of the Amazon River that originates in the Andes highlands in southern Peru and which is considered the longest and the biggest in terms of volume in the world, running through eight South American countries.
“We started out as the Water Defense Committee in 2012 when the Nanay watershed was threatened by oil activity,” he said. “Together with other collectives and organizations we managed to block that initiative, but since 2018 there has been a second extractive industry wave, with mining that is damaging the basin and seems to be the latest brutal calamity in the Amazon.”
Their struggle was weakened during the pandemic, when the “millionaire polluting illegal mining industry” – as he describes it – remained active. Their complaints have gone unheeded by the authorities despite the harmful impacts of the pollution, such as on people’s food, which depends to a large extent on the fish they catch.
However, he is hopeful about the new national network of defenders of rivers and territories, an effort that emerged in 2019 and that on May 25 organized its second national meeting in Lima, with the participation of 60 representatives from the Amazon, Andes and Pacific coast regions of the country.
“It is important because we strengthen ourselves in a common objective of defending territories and rights, confronting the various predatory extractive waves that exist in this dominant social economic system that uses different factors in a chain to achieve its purpose. The battle is not equal, but this is how resistance works,” Manuyama said.
Like the watersheds of a river
Ricardo Jiménez, director of the non-governmental Peru Solidarity Forum, an institution that works with the network of organizations for the protection and defense of rivers, said it emerged as a response to the demand of various sectors in the face of depredation and expanding illegal mining and logging activities detrimental to water sources.
The convergence process began in 2019, he recalled, with the participation, among others, of the Amazonian Wampis and Awajún indigenous peoples, “women defenders of life and the Pachamama” of the northeastern Andes highlands department of Cajamarca, and “rondas campesinas” (rural social organizations) in various regions of the country.
The first important milestone of the initiative occurred in 2021, when they held their first national meeting, in which a National Promotional Committee of Defenders of Rivers and Territories was formed.
They approved an agenda that they sent to the then minister of culture, Gisela Ortiz, who remained in office for only four months and was unable to meet the request to form the Multisectoral Roundtable for dialogue to address issues such as environmental remediation of legal and illegal extractive activities.
The proposed roundtable also mentioned the development of criteria for the protection of the headwaters of river basins, and the protection of river defenders from the criminalization of their protests and initiatives.
At this second national meeting, the Promotional Committee updated its agenda and created synergies with the National River Protection Network, made up of non-governmental organizations.
It also joined the river action initiative of the Pan-Amazonian Social Forum (Fospa), whose tenth edition will be held Jul. 28-31 in Belem do Pará, in Brazil’s Amazon region, and whose national chapter met on May 27.
Three days of activity were organized in the Peruvian capital by the defenders of the rivers and their riverside communities, who on May 26 participated in a march of indigenous peoples, organized by the Interethnic Association for the Development of the Peruvian Rainforest.
“There is a coming together of the social collectives at the national level and also with their peers at the Pan-Amazonian level; we have a shared path with particularities but which coincides,” Jiménez told IPS.
Rivers have no borders
Mirtha Villanueva is an activist who defends life and Pachamama (Mother Earth, in the Quechua indigenous language) in Cajamarca, a northeastern department of Peru, where more than a decade ago the slogan “water yes, gold no!” was coined as part of the struggles of the local population in defense of their lakes and wetlands against the Conga mining project of the U.S.-owned Yanacocha gold mine.
The project was suspended, but only temporarily, after years of social protests against the open-pit gold mine, which in 2012 caused several deaths and led to the declaration of a state of emergency in the region for several months, in one of the most critical episodes in the communities’ struggle against the impact of extractivism on their environment and their lives.
A large part of Villanueva’s 66 years has been dedicated to the defense of nature’s assets, of rivers, to guarantee decent lives for people, in a struggle that she knows is extremely unequal in the face of the economic power of the mining companies.
“We, the defenders of the rivers, have to grow in strength and I hope that at the Fospa Peru meeting we will approve a plan of action agreed with our brothers and sisters in Ecuador, Bolivia and Brazil, because our rivers are also connected, they have no borders,” she told IPS during an interview at the meeting in Lima.
“We need to strengthen ourselves from the local to the international level to have an impact with our actions. We receive 60 percent of our rainfall from the Amazon forest. How can we not take care of the Amazon?” she said.
The work she carries out with the environmental committees is titanic. She recalled the image of poor rural families protesting the change in the rivers and how it has caused rashes on their children’s skin.
And when they went to the mine to complain, they were told: “When I came, your river was already like this. Why do you want to blame me? Prove it.”
“In this situation, the farmer remains silent, which is why it is important to work in the communities to promote oversight and monitoring of ecosystems and resources. We work with macroinvertebrates, beings present in the rivers that are indicators of clean or polluted waters, gradually training the population,” she explained.
This is an urgent task. She gave as an example the case of the district of Bambamarca, in Loreto, which has the highest number of mining environmental liabilities in the country: 1118. “Only one river is still alive, the Yaucán River,” Villanueva lamented.
She also mentioned the Condebamba valley, “with the second highest level of diversity in Peru,” and 40 percent of whose farmland is being irrigated by water from the Chimín river polluted by the mines.
“In Cajamarca we have 11 committees monitoring the state of the rivers, we all suffer reprisals, but we cannot stop doing what we do because people’s health and lives are at stake,” both present and future, she said. | https://www.ipsnews.net/2022/05/rivers-no-borders-motto-defenders-peru/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rivers-no-borders-motto-defenders-peru | 2022-05-31T06:10:53Z | https://www.ipsnews.net/2022/05/rivers-no-borders-motto-defenders-peru/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rivers-no-borders-motto-defenders-peru | false | 2 |
In anticipation of the CHAN 2023 tournament organized on his soil, Majed Bougherra invited thirty players playing in the local tournament to participate in the friendly matches scheduled for the month of June. Thus, the gathering on the sidelines of this tournament is planned for the entire history of FIFA from May 31 to June 14.

EN A should therefore play a friendly mini-tournament against local teams from Niger, DR Congo and Senegal, all of whom are participating in the CHAN qualifiers that will start in July. This tournament was initially planned in Oran and Sage, and it could finally. It will be held in Algiers, following the decision of the Mediterranean Games Organizing Committee to preserve the existing infrastructure for the Games, scheduled to take place at the end of next month. This decision had already prompted the FAF to move the match against Uganda to the Stade du 5-Juillet initially. It is scheduled to be held at the new Oran stadium next Saturday.

Immigration Corner | Application for first adult UK passport
Dear Mr Bassie,
I am eligible for a British passport and I am planning to apply. Any guidance would be appreciated.
– GN
Dear GN,
Persons can apply for their first adult passport if all of the following apply:
• They are British nationals;
• They are 16 years old or over (or will be in three weeks);
• They have never had a UK passport before.
Please be aware that persons are required to apply if their last UK passport was issued before January 1, 1994. Persons can use their child passport until it expires, even if they are over 18 years old. An adult passport is valid for 10 years.
LENGTH OF PROCESS TIME
Persons should check how long it will take to get a passport before they apply. Persons who may need a passport to travel urgently for medical treatment, or because a friend or family member is seriously ill or has died, should call the Passport Adviceline. They should not book their travel until they get their passport.
WAYS TO APPLY
Applicants who are in the United Kingdom can either apply online – it costs £75.50 – or apply with a paper form – it costs £85. Please note that there is a separate way to apply if they are overseas. Those persons should use the online process titled ‘Overseas British Passport applications’.
PERSONS WITH A NON-BRITISH PASSPORT
Persons who have dual citizenship (‘dual nationality’) and have a non-British passport, should ensure that the name and gender on the non-British passport match the name and gender on the British passport.
If they are different, persons should change the details on their non-British passport before they apply for a new British passport.
WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE NEEDED TO APPLY
When applying, persons must send the original documents as photocopies are not accepted. If they do not have the original certificates (for example, a birth certificate), they will need to get an official copy.
If the documents are not in English or Welsh, they will need to send a certified translation. Persons can send laminated documents if that is the only format in which they are issued.
PERSONS BORN OR ADOPTED IN THE UK
What documents persons will need depends on when they were born.
Before January 1, 1983
Those persons will need their full birth certificate or adoption certificate.
On or after January 1, 1983
Those persons will need their full birth certificate or adoption certificate, and either:
• Their mother’s or father’s full UK birth certificate, or the Home Office certificate of registration or naturalisation, or a British passport belonging to one of their parents that was valid when they were born, or a British passport number for either parent; or
• Evidence of one of their parents’ immigration statuses in the UK at the time of your birth, for example, a foreign passport belonging to one of their parents that was valid when they were born.
Please note that if applicants send documents relating to their father, they must also send their parents’ marriage certificates.
PERSONS BORN OUTSIDE THE UK
What documents are needed will depend on their circumstances.
Persons who have a certificate of naturalisation or registration
They will need both:
• Their naturalisation or registration certificate;
• The passport used when arriving in the UK or the foreign passport they were included on.

• Evidence of one parent’s British nationality, for example, their UK birth or adoption, naturalisation or registration certificate.
If these documents relate to your father, persons must include the marriage certificate showing when he married the applicant’s mother.
WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES ARE DIFFERENT
If the applicant’s circumstances are not listed, those persons should read the guidance booklet to find out what documents they will need. If they apply online, they will be told what documents are needed as part of their application.
HOW DOCUMENTS WILL BE SENT BACK
The supporting documents will be returned separately from the passport. How the applicant receives them will depend on the delivery option chosen when filling in the application.
I hope this helps.

New Zealand has made real progress towards building a Smokefree Aotearoa, but more urgent efforts are needed to achieve this goal by 2025 says the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation of New Zealand (ARFNZ).
ARFNZ Chief Executive Letitia Harding says the organisation fully supports the government’s Smokefree 2025 Action Plan, particularly its focus on addressing health equity and the world-leading new measures of denicontinised tobacco, reduced tobacco availability, and creating a smokefree generation.
"Overall, smoking statistics in New Zealand have been steadily tracking downwards - which is what we want to see. Less smoking means better respiratory health. ARFNZ strongly supports the Action Plan’s equity focus and notes the bold new measures that will soon be in place will greatly reduce health inequities. These measures, together with the Plan’s commitment to strengthen investment in community-led initiatives, will help make the Smokefree 2025 goal a reality."
The ARFNZ strongly supports the introduction of very low nicotine cigarettes. "We know that the use of very low nicotine cigarettes (VLNC) will be transformational in helping people who smoke to stop. Legislation soon to be introduced will mean only VLNCs will be available for sale, importation and distribution in New Zealand. This measure will bring profound benefits and represents truly visionary thinking by Associate Minister Dr Ayesha Verrall," says Professor Janet Hoek, an advisor on ARFNZ’s Vaping Educational Advisory Group, and a co-director of the University of Otago’s ASPIRE Research Centre.
ARFNZ also wants to see a reduction in the number of retailers selling cigarettes this year, particularly those in close proximity to schools. "Tobacco is not a normal consumer product and should not be treated as such. If we genuinely want a smokefree generation, then we need to see meaningful change on the availability of these products in the coming months, as outlined in the plan," says Letitia.
One potential major stumbling block to achieving the Smokefree 2025 goal is the rising number of young people using vapes and e-cigarettes. "We know that more and more young people are taking up vaping and that the majority of these vapes contain nicotine, many at very high levels. Our young people may be smoking less, but vaping is rapidly taking its place, and people who have never smoked are starting to vape." warns Letitia. "The Action Plan proposes introducing a Smokefree Generation policy; we should seize the opportunity to introduce a Nicotine-Free Generation policy."
The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ is New Zealand’s principal authority on respiratory conditions, and represents the interests of the 700,000 New Zealanders living with respiratory disease. The Foundation’s purpose is to lead respiratory health knowledge through research, education, and advocacy, to reduce respiratory-related hospitalisations, and to improve respiratory health outcomes for all.

Since the Columbine High School massacre more than 20 years ago, police have been trained to quickly confront shooters in the horrific attacks that have followed.
But officers in Uvalde, Texas, took more than an hour to kill a shooter who massacred 19 children, a lapse of time that will likely be a key part of a Justice Department probe into the police response.
The rare federal review comes amid growing, agonized questions and shifting information from police. Authorities now say that several officers entered the elementary school just two minutes after alleged gunman Salvador Ramos and exchanged fire with him, but he wasn’t stopped until a tactical team entered a classroom more than an hour later.
That’s a confounding timeline for law enforcement experts like Jarrod Burguan, who was the police chief in San Bernardino, California, when the city was hit by a terrorist attack that killed 14 people in 2015. Officers entered that facility, a training center for residents with developmental disabilities, within two minutes of arriving.
“Columbine changed everything,” Burguan said Monday. Officers are now trained to form up and enter buildings to confront shooters as quickly as possible to prevent them from killing more people. “This has been drilled into this industry for years now.”
Justice Department officials probing the Texas slayings will examine a host of questions about the police response in Uvalde. A similar review that largely praised the response to the San Bernardino mass shooting was over 100 pages long.
In announcing the review, Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley said it would be conducted in a fair, impartial and independent manner and the findings would be made public. It could take months. Handling the review is the department’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.
One key question for Maria Haberfeld, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, is why a school district police chief had the power to tell more than a dozen officers to wait in a hallway at Uvalde’s Robb Elementary.
“The key question for me is, who designated him to be in charge?” she said.
Officials have said he believed the suspect was barricaded inside adjoining classrooms and there was no longer an active threat. But school police officers don’t typically have the most experience with active shooters, and Haberfeld questioned why people with more specialized training didn’t take the reins.
A U.S. Border Patrol tactical team finally used a janitor’s key to unlock the classroom door and kill the gunman, raising more questions about the choice of entry.
“It’s not some fortified castle from the Middle Ages. It’s a door,” she said. “They knew what to do. You don’t need the key.”
The Justice review won’t investigate the crime itself, or directly hold police civilly or criminally liable. What it will likely do is examine things like how police communicated with each other, said Thor Eells, executive director of the National Tactical Officers Association. It’s not yet known why the school chief, Pete Arredondo, thought the shooter was barricaded and he hasn’t commented.
“I think we need to be a little patient on that and wait to ensure we understand what that mindset was,” Eells said. “It goes back to communication. What information did they have?”
The review will also likely examine how well officers were prepared with gear like weapons and body armor. The shooter wore a tactical vest and was armed with an AR-15-style rifle, a powerful weapon capable of piercing basic bulletproof vests.
In previous shootings reviewed by the Justice Department, non-specialized law enforcement units did not have the kind of body armor needed to fully protect themselves.
At the 2016 massacre that killed 49 people and hurt dozens more in the LGBT community at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, a detective on the scene exchanged gunfire with the suspect, knowing his handgun was “no match” for the weapon being fired in the club. Despite that, the first officers on the scene formed up in a team to enter the club quickly and begin searching for the shooter, according to the report.
In San Bernardino, meanwhile, only one of the first officers on scene had a shotgun and several did not have body armor. But they still used their training on active shooter situations to form up in a four-officer team to immediately enter the complex.
Moving quickly is important not only to stop a shooter from killing more people, but to help the wounded. In San Bernardino and Orlando, the Justice Department reviews credited the quick response in getting the wounded transported to treatment within a “golden hour” where victims are mostly likely to survive.
It is unclear what impact the delayed entry into the Texas classroom might have had on any of the children who were wounded and needed treatment more than an hour away in San Antonio.
Police do have to quickly analyze the risks to themselves and others in a violent, quickly changing situation — but they’re also trained to stop people from getting hurt, Eells said.
“Making an entry into that room is very, very, very dangerous,” he said. “But we are going to incur that risk, knowingly and willingly, because our priorities are to help those that cannot help themselves.”

PLANO, Texas (AP) — Ronan Kotiya leans over his father, fingers wrapped around a plastic tube he’s about to slide from a tracheostomy hole in dad’s neck.
“3, 2, 1, go,” the 11-year-old says as he removes the tube. His mom slips a padded neck brace on her husband and lifts him into a sitting position on their bed.
Ronan's 9-year-old brother, Keaton, waits nearby, ready to connect their dad, Rupesh Kotiya, to a portable ventilator.
“Ronan, do you want to suction daddy’s mouth and then get ready to go?” Siobhan Pandya asks after her son steers dad’s power wheelchair into the living room of the family’s Plano, Texas, home.
“Thanks buddy, good job,” a robotic voice crackles from a tablet Kotiya uses to speak.
So begins another weekend for the brothers — two Harry Potter fans with mouths full of braces, a knack for building with Legos and some heavy caregiving responsibilities.
Their 46-year-old father has Lou Gehrig’s disease, a fatal illness that has taken his ability to speak and walk. A ventilator helps him breathe. He uses eye-tracking software on the tablet to say things, blinks to indicate yes or moves his mouth side to side for no.
As many 10 million children in the U.S. may provide some form of care at home, according to researcher Melinda Kavanaugh. Some kids are the only caregivers patients have, while others fill in when visiting nurses or other help is not available.
These children help cancer patients, military veterans, grandparents with heart disease or autistic siblings. They’re often too young to drive, and their work frequently goes unnoticed outside the home.
“They exist in the shadows,” said Kavanaugh, an associate professor of social work at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Kavanaugh and other researchers say the number of young caregivers is growing, and they need support. Caregiving is a task that children like Ronan and Keaton take seriously and something that their mom hopes will shape them into empathetic, strong young men.
But getting there first involves a daily struggle to balance being a kid with living in a very grown-up world.
Ronan grabs a handful of toy cars and kneels on a clinic floor at Texas Neurology in Dallas.
His opponent, a freckle-faced boy named Charlie, waits a few feet away, ready to smash cars together. First to tip over loses.
“Y’all are savages,” says Evie, a skinny 9-year-old prone to spontaneous dance.
The children have gathered in the clinic on a sunny Saturday afternoon to learn more about caring for people with Lou Gehrig’s disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These seven children — ages 8 to 12 — help care for a parent or grandparent with ALS, an illness that destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control muscle movement.
Kavanaugh lined up several specialists to teach as part of a program called YCare that she has taken to several cities. A dietitian showed the kids how to make food the right consistency so patients don’t choke. A respiratory therapist explained the important parts of a device that helps people cough to clear mucus.
In one training session, speech therapist Heather Gallas discusses eye tracking technology that allows patients to spell out words and communicate with a tablet.
She holds up a laminated letter board and asks the kids to try. Evie silently points to every letter in her name.
Then Keaton takes a turn.
S-U-C-T-I-O-N.
Gallas pauses, “Is that something your dad needs a lot?”
Keaton nods.
Aside from providing training, one of Kavanaugh's main goals was to simply let the young caregivers meet. Loneliness is a problem, one that grew worse during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“A 10-year-old at school is not going to talk about toileting or bathing their parent, but they are going to talk about it here,” Kavanaugh said.
In the afternoon, the kids trade email addresses and phone numbers, and The ALS Association's Texas chapter starts making plans for a pizza party reunion this summer.
Doctors diagnosed Rupesh Kotiya with ALS in October 2014, a month before his boys turned 4 and 2. Ronan and Keaton have no memories of him without the illness.
They started pitching in with care a few years ago, first by wiping away their dad’s tears or propping up his head during car rides.
Then they started helping Pandya move their father in and out of bed or onto the toilet. They pull down his shorts and underwear while she lifts him to the seat.
They also put on his socks and shoes, help change his shorts, crush medicines or mix mouthwash with water.
Pandya, a senior director with the skin care and cosmetics company Mary Kay, has daytime and evening caregivers for her husband during the week. But she has no paid assistance overnight or on the weekends, so the boys have had to step up.
"To be honest, they’re doing tasks some adults don’t want to do,” Pandya said.
Pandya tries to balance the boys’ caregiving with activities that offer some normalcy. Keaton takes tennis lessons and coding classes. Ronan plays striker on a youth soccer team.
Soccer balls, frisbees and basketballs lay scattered around the Kotiyas’ small suburban backyard.
Both boys play piano, and Keaton paints prolifically. Stacks of his work fill shelves in their upstairs playroom.
Ronan, who wrote a short book about his dad, sees his father’s fight against ALS as a superhero battle. He and his brother are among the many weapons used.
Keaton shows his frustration sometimes, especially with the amount of care his dad needs.
“He’s been having a few accidents these last few days,” Keaton said. “One time he went three times that day, and I was really looking forward to doing something that day, but I couldn’t do it because … yeah.”
In the end, Pandya sees the boys' caregiving as a positive. She hopes Ronan and Keaton eventually look back and recognize how much they gained by helping someone they love.
“If you’re caring for somebody that ... has a clock ticking, then you don’t want to take that time away," she said. "Being able to wipe their tears or wipe their mouth or hold their hand, those are some of the memories that they’re going to cherish.”
The boys know their dad is getting worse.
Keaton says it is getting harder for his dad to blink. He remembers one recent night when Rupesh slept for over 12 hours and then took a long nap the next afternoon.
“I’m like, should I be worried?” he said.
Frustration, devotion and heartbreak all swirl around in their still-developing brains.
Therapist Sarah Sutton recently had the boys draw up bucket lists of things they want to do with their dad.
Keaton shares a love of food with Rupesh, so he asked for a trip to Italy. The family found a more practical alternative: a drive to an Italian food market and restaurants in nearby Dallas.
Sutton has seen the boys regularly for a few years. She’s been trying to get them to recognize and understand all the emotions hitting them so they don't keep everything bottled up.
When they visit, she also tries to give them a fun activity they can control. Play — kids being kids — is crucial for development.
“We play out conflict. We play out resolution. We play out the stories that are going on inside us,” Sutton says.
During a recent visit, Sutton breaks out the board game Candy Land. She tells the boys that each colored card in the game will represent an emotion, and they get to decide which ones.
Then they draw cards with the idea of discussing whatever feeling comes up.
Sutton also tries to nudge the boys into talking about their dad. They deflect, focusing instead on a painting on her wall. Then the singer Rick Astley comes up.
Keaton pretends to be a therapist. “Do you have a girlfriend?” he asks.
“No, you’re an awful therapist,” Ronan replies.
Ronan only allows at one point that his dad is “doing good.”
Sutton draws double green in their game. That represents disgust or unfairness.
“I think it’s unfair that terrible things happen to people,” she says.
The boys avoid the bait. They eat Hershey’s Kisses. They trade scribbles on an Etch A Sketch. Someone farts. The session devolves into fits of giggles.
“Have you guys been laughing like this all day?” Sutton says. “Laughter without any anger or fighting is so wonderful.”
When the session ends, Sutton’s floor is strewn with candy wrappers.
The boys head for their mom’s waiting van so they can return home and set up a living room campout.
Pandya started letting Ronan and Keaton roll out sleeping bags on their living room rug each weekend during the pandemic. It began as a treat when they couldn’t go anywhere else.
Rupesh started using a ventilator just before the pandemic hit. The boys stayed home from school for 17 months as Pandya tried to keep everyone from catching the virus.
She also has an ulterior motive in allowing the campouts: Having the boys sleep next to their parents’ bedroom instead of upstairs in their shared room makes it easier to summon their help.
The boys may have to get trash bags and gloves if their dad has an accident during the night.
Before they set up camp, the boys change into pajamas, and the family settles in the living room to watch the kids’ show “Legends of the Hidden Temple."
Ronan and Keaton curl up on a couch and loveseat while Pandya changes her husband’s shirt and pours medicine into his feeding tube. The ventilator hums.
The show ends, and Keaton takes his turn to steer dad back to the bedroom, where Pandya lifts him onto the mattress.
Keaton uses a long wand to suction saliva pooling in his dad’s mouth.
Ronan then holds his father on his side as Pandya straightens her husband’s shirt and shorts.
After that, the boy pats his dad softly on his back and lays him flat.
Pandya finishes getting her husband ready for bed while Ronan and Keaton scamper back to the living room.
There, they sprawl on top of sleeping bags, munching chips and candy as they squeeze in a little more TV before crawling inside to sleep.

"Ronan, do you want to suction daddy's mouth and then get ready to go?" Siobhan Pandya asks after her son steers dad's power wheelchair into the living room of the family's Plano, Texas, home.
"Thanks buddy, good job," a robotic voice crackles from a tablet Kotiya uses to speak.
So begins another weekend for the brothers — two Harry Potter fans with mouths full of braces, a knack for building with Legos and some heavy caregiving responsibilities.
Their 46-year-old father has Lou Gehrig's disease, a fatal illness that has taken his ability to speak and walk. A ventilator helps him breathe. He uses eye-tracking software on the tablet to say things, blinks to indicate yes or moves his mouth side to side for no.
As many 10 million children in the U.S. may provide some form of care at home, according to researcher Melinda Kavanaugh. Some kids are the only caregivers patients have, while others fill in when visiting nurses or other help is not available.
These children help cancer patients, military veterans, grandparents with heart disease or autistic siblings. They're often too young to drive, and their work frequently goes unnoticed outside the home.
"They exist in the shadows," said Kavanaugh, an associate professor of social work at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Kavanaugh and other researchers say the number of young caregivers is growing, and they need support. Caregiving is a task that children like Ronan and Keaton take seriously and something that their mom hopes will shape them into empathetic, strong young men.
But getting there first involves a daily struggle to balance being a kid with living in a very grown-up world.
Ronan grabs a handful of toy cars and kneels on a clinic floor at Texas Neurology in Dallas.
His opponent, a freckle-faced boy named Charlie, waits a few feet away, ready to smash cars together. First to tip over loses.
"Y'all are savages," says Evie, a skinny 9-year-old prone to spontaneous dance.
The children have gathered in the clinic on a sunny Saturday afternoon to learn more about caring for people with Lou Gehrig's disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These seven children — ages 8 to 12 — help care for a parent or grandparent with ALS, an illness that destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control muscle movement.
Kavanaugh lined up several specialists to teach as part of a program called YCare that she has taken to several cities. A dietitian showed the kids how to make food the right consistency so patients don't choke. A respiratory therapist explained the important parts of a device that helps people cough to clear mucus.
In one training session, speech therapist Heather Gallas discusses eye tracking technology that allows patients to spell out words and communicate with a tablet.
She holds up a laminated letter board and asks the kids to try. Evie silently points to every letter in her name.
Then Keaton takes a turn.
S-U-C-T-I-O-N.
Gallas pauses, "Is that something your dad needs a lot?"
Keaton nods.
Aside from providing training, one of Kavanaugh's main goals was to simply let the young caregivers meet. Loneliness is a problem, one that grew worse during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"A 10-year-old at school is not going to talk about toileting or bathing their parent, but they are going to talk about it here," Kavanaugh said.
In the afternoon, the kids trade email addresses and phone numbers, and The ALS Association's Texas chapter starts making plans for a pizza party reunion this summer.
Doctors diagnosed Rupesh Kotiya with ALS in October 2014, a month before his boys turned 4 and 2. Ronan and Keaton have no memories of him without the illness.
They started pitching in with care a few years ago, first by wiping away their dad's tears or propping up his head during car rides.
Then they started helping Pandya move their father in and out of bed or onto the toilet. They pull down his shorts and underwear while she lifts him to the seat.
They also put on his socks and shoes, help change his shorts, crush medicines or mix mouthwash with water.
Pandya, a senior director with the skin care and cosmetics company Mary Kay, has daytime and evening caregivers for her husband during the week. But she has no paid assistance overnight or on the weekends, so the boys have had to step up.
"To be honest, they're doing tasks some adults don't want to do," Pandya said.
Pandya tries to balance the boys' caregiving with activities that offer some normalcy. Keaton takes tennis lessons and coding classes. Ronan plays striker on a youth soccer team.
Soccer balls, frisbees and basketballs lay scattered around the Kotiyas' small suburban backyard.
Both boys play piano, and Keaton paints prolifically. Stacks of his work fill shelves in their upstairs playroom.
Ronan, who wrote a short book about his dad, sees his father's fight against ALS as a superhero battle. He and his brother are among the many weapons used.
Keaton shows his frustration sometimes, especially with the amount of care his dad needs.
"He's been having a few accidents these last few days," Keaton said. "One time he went three times that day, and I was really looking forward to doing something that day, but I couldn't do it because … yeah."
In the end, Pandya sees the boys' caregiving as a positive. She hopes Ronan and Keaton eventually look back and recognize how much they gained by helping someone they love.
"If you're caring for somebody that ... has a clock ticking, then you don't want to take that time away," she said. "Being able to wipe their tears or wipe their mouth or hold their hand, those are some of the memories that they're going to cherish."
The boys know their dad is getting worse.
Keaton says it is getting harder for his dad to blink. He remembers one recent night when Rupesh slept for over 12 hours and then took a long nap the next afternoon.
"I'm like, should I be worried?" he said.
Frustration, devotion and heartbreak all swirl around in their still-developing brains.
Therapist Sarah Sutton recently had the boys draw up bucket lists of things they want to do with their dad.
Keaton shares a love of food with Rupesh, so he asked for a trip to Italy. The family found a more practical alternative: a drive to an Italian food market and restaurants in nearby Dallas.
Sutton has seen the boys regularly for a few years. She's been trying to get them to recognize and understand all the emotions hitting them so they don't keep everything bottled up.
When they visit, she also tries to give them a fun activity they can control. Play — kids being kids — is crucial for development.
"We play out conflict. We play out resolution. We play out the stories that are going on inside us," Sutton says.
During a recent visit, Sutton breaks out the board game Candy Land. She tells the boys that each colored card in the game will represent an emotion, and they get to decide which ones.
Then they draw cards with the idea of discussing whatever feeling comes up.
Sutton also tries to nudge the boys into talking about their dad. They deflect, focusing instead on a painting on her wall. Then the singer Rick Astley comes up.
Keaton pretends to be a therapist. "Do you have a girlfriend?" he asks.
"No, you're an awful therapist," Ronan replies.
Ronan only allows at one point that his dad is "doing good."
Sutton draws double green in their game. That represents disgust or unfairness.
"I think it's unfair that terrible things happen to people," she says.
The boys avoid the bait. They eat Hershey's Kisses. They trade scribbles on an Etch A Sketch. Someone farts. The session devolves into fits of giggles.
"Have you guys been laughing like this all day?" Sutton says. "Laughter without any anger or fighting is so wonderful."
When the session ends, Sutton's floor is strewn with candy wrappers.
The boys head for their mom's waiting van so they can return home and set up a living room campout.
Pandya started letting Ronan and Keaton roll out sleeping bags on their living room rug each weekend during the pandemic. It began as a treat when they couldn't go anywhere else.
Rupesh started using a ventilator just before the pandemic hit. The boys stayed home from school for 17 months as Pandya tried to keep everyone from catching the virus.
She also has an ulterior motive in allowing the campouts: Having the boys sleep next to their parents' bedroom instead of upstairs in their shared room makes it easier to summon their help.
The boys may have to get trash bags and gloves if their dad has an accident during the night.
Before they set up camp, the boys change into pajamas, and the family settles in the living room to watch the kids' show "Legends of the Hidden Temple."
Ronan and Keaton curl up on a couch and loveseat while Pandya changes her husband's shirt and pours medicine into his feeding tube. The ventilator hums.
The show ends, and Keaton takes his turn to steer dad back to the bedroom, where Pandya lifts him onto the mattress.
Keaton uses a long wand to suction saliva pooling in his dad's mouth.
Ronan then holds his father on his side as Pandya straightens her husband's shirt and shorts.
After that, the boy pats his dad softly on his back and lays him flat.
Pandya finishes getting her husband ready for bed while Ronan and Keaton scamper back to the living room.
There, they sprawl on top of sleeping bags, munching chips and candy as they squeeze in a little more TV before crawling inside to sleep.

Monday evening and Tuesday morning, thousands of fans watching the night sky can witness Meteor shower Tau Herculidaswhich results when Earth passes through the debris path of a segmented comet.
The Comet known as SW3It was discovered in 1930 by German observers Arnold Schwasmann and Arno Arthur Wechmann. It orbits the sun every 5.4 years.but it was so faint that it was not seen again until the late 1970s.
In 1995, astronomers realized that the comet had become about 600 times brighter, and upon further investigation, They learned that SW3 had split into several pieces.
When SW3 passed Earth again in 2006, it crashed again, and has continued to fray ever since. In 2009, NASA noticed that Some fragments move fast enough to be visiblewhich may give hope that something from these remains can still be seen tonight.
If it is visible, up to 1,000 bright stars can be produced per hour, according to NASA.
Where can it be seen?
phenomenon They can be observed almost throughout North America. However, NASA cautioned that the show might not be as impressive.
The best times to watch it are around 1 a.m. on the East Coast or 10 p.m. on the West Coast. Also, since the moon is new, there will be no moonlight to obscure the meteors.
When does meteor shower occur?
About 30 meteors occur each year when Earth passes through the path of debris left by a comet or asteroid, which can be seen with the naked eye.
“Meteorites are not uncommon,” explained Bill Cook, who directs NASA’s Meteor Environment Office at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
“Every day, the Earth is bombarded with millions of interplanetary debris fragments that pass through our solar system,” he said in a statement.
Most particles are no larger than dust and sand. When colliding with the upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 45 miles per second, they ignite and burn.
However, the meteor showers Caused by the streams of comets and debris from asteroidswhich creates more flashes and rays of light as the Earth passes through the debris field.
Why is there a danger of not seeing them
Debris from SW3 will hit the atmosphere of Earth is slower than other meteor showers and their speed What the debris hits, not the size of the debris, causes precipitation.
But stargazers in North America are paying extra attention this year because Tau Herculids will be high in the night sky at the expected rush hour, and with it being a new moon, there won’t be any moonlight to hide the little ones.
“This would be an all-or-nothing event. If it was a wreck The SW3 was traveling at over 220 mph When they separated from the comet, we could see a nice meteor. “If the speed of debris ejection was slower, nothing would reach Earth and there would be no meteors from this comet,” Cook said.
The shower of Tau Herculidas is not the only one that can be observed this year. On July 28 and 29, the Delta Aquarids can be seen more safely.
The Perseid meteor shower, the most popular of the year, will also peak between August 11 and 12 in the Northern Hemisphere, when the moon is 13% full.

NORRISTOWN — As COVID-19 cases resume spiking, Montgomery County health officials on Friday upgraded health concerns to a “high level” as classified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“We’ve seen a steady climb in incidences, new transmissions due to COVID and the percent of inpatient bed utilization,” said Montgomery County Office of Public Health Administrator Christina Miller.
Montgomery County recorded 302 cases earlier in the week, according to the county’s online COVID-19 Data HUB. No new deaths were reported as of Tuesday. That figure brings the total number of cases to 160,491, which is comprised of PCR and antigen testing data.
A total 2,331 deaths have been recorded in the county since the first cases of COVID-19 were detected in March 2020.
There are currently 141 people hospitalized in Montgomery County medical facilities, according to the county’s online database. Eight patients are using ventilators, and 15 adults are in the intensive care unit.
As for incidence and positivity rates, the state’s third most populous county had 282 cases per 100,000 residents comparing the most recent seven-day period from May 11 to May 17 to the previous week of May 4 to May 10, according to figures from the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s COVID-19 Early Warning Monitoring System Dashboard. There was also a reported 19.5% positivity rate from the most recent seven days.
Miller addressed members of the public and the trio of Montgomery County Commissioners Thursday morning to give an update on the ongoing public health crisis. She referenced a table of information related to CDC guidelines for COVID-19 Community Levels and Indicators that the federal health agency had updated earlier this year.
The “framework” includes statistics for PCR and antigen test results, hospitalizations and “COVID-19 admissions” rates. While she asserted the county was in a “medium” COVID-19 community level on Thursday, a county spokesperson said that due to updated data from the CDC, it had progressed to “high” on Friday because of the increased number of cases, hospitalizations and incidences.
Montgomery County Commissioners’ Chairwoman Dr. Val Arkoosh sought to reassure her constituents of the pandemic’s ebbs and flows.
“We’re living with this virus now,” Arkoosh said on Thursday. “We’ll continue to live with this virus for the foreseeable future, and so while we’re talking about these increasing numbers today, I just want to remind folks this is not with any sort of panic or anything like that. It’s just to make sure that everyone is aware of what is happening in our community and to remind everyone that we have an excellent set of tools in our toolbox with which to fight this virus.”
In giving a play-by-play of the graph, Miller previously relayed that the federal health categories include low, medium and high:
• Low: Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccination, get tested if you have symptoms and stay at home when sick
• Medium: If at high risk for severe illness, talk with your healthcare provider about masking and other precautions, stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccination, get tested if you have symptoms, and stay at home when sick
• High: Wear a mask in indoor public settings, if at high risk for severe illness, talk with your healthcare provider about masking and other precautions, stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccination, get tested if you have symptoms, and stay at home when sick.
As for vaccinations, there are 548,704 residents fully inoculated and 132,525 partially vaccinated in Montgomery County, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s COVID-19 vaccine dashboard. An additional 263,119 people received a first booster dose since Aug. 13, 2021, and 34,604 others got a second booster since March 29.
“The CDC strongly recommends masking in all indoor public settings when in the High COVID Community Level. The public is encouraged to wear the most protective mask you can that fits well and that you will wear consistently,” said a county spokesperson.
Additionally, Montgomery County issued recommendations related to masking in facilities.
“Visitors to all county owned and leased facilities are strongly encouraged to wear a mask when indoors,” said a county spokesperson in a statement Friday afternoon.
Those living, working or going to school in Montgomery County are eligible to get a free PCR COVID-19 test at six sites in the county: Ardmore, Green Lane, Lansdale, Norristown, Pottstown and Willow Grove. Appointments can be made online at montcopa.org/covid-19testing up to four days in advance and those interested in calling can do so starting at 8:30 a.m. at 610-970-2937.
Anyone who tests positive should adhere to CDC guidelines by isolating and informing any “recent close contacts,” according to a county spokesperson.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s center-left Labor Party secured enough seats Tuesday to hold an outright majority in the House as vote counting from an election 10 days ago continued.
That means new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his party will be able to govern alone — although it's possible they might still seek deals with other parties to strengthen their hand. The calculus remains different in the Senate, where the Labor Party will likely need help from other liberals to command a majority.
With about 80% of the vote counted, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. projected Labor will win at least 76 of the 150 House seats, the minimum required to form a majority government. Two seats remained too close to call. Labor will need to provide a Speaker, which will reduce their voting ranks by one, although the Speaker also gets the casting vote in the case of a tie.
Albanese's party defeated the conservative coalition led by Prime Minister Scott Morrison in the May 21 election.
Albanese was sworn in last week when it became clear he had the numbers to govern, with or without a majority. He flew to Tokyo for a summit with President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Albanese got a standing ovation when he addressed his Labor caucus Tuesday. He outlined his agenda for the rest of the year and announced the new parliament will open on July 26.
He said Labor will introduce a bill to form a federal anti-corruption commission, review wasteful spending and announce a budget in October.
Albanese told his colleagues the party won by showing unity, discipline and a sense of purpose.
“We had a good story to tell,” he said. “We weren’t intimidated by anyone, we didn’t get distracted, we stayed on course and the discipline we showed was magnificent."
He welcomed those colleagues who had won their first elections.
“For those newbies, you really struck gold because opposition is not fun. At all,” he said.
He said Australia would join the global effort to combat climate change "after nine wasted years.”
Albanese’s Cabinet and ministers are due to be finalized and sworn in this week before he flies to Indonesia on Sunday for a three-day diplomatic visit. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Australia-s-Labor-Party-wins-enough-seats-to-17208722.php | 2022-05-31T07:05:17Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Australia-s-Labor-Party-wins-enough-seats-to-17208722.php | true | 12 |

Peanut Butter Recall Rapidly Expands, Not Just Jars of Jif You Should Be Throwing Away Now
It’s no secret that peanut butter is one of America’s favorite ingredients: the smooth (or crunchy) spread is found in candy, confections, snacks, protein bars, ice cream and baked goods.
Now the ingredient’s seemingly ubiquitous presence in the grocery store is coming back to bite peanut butter lovers in a major way.
The massive Jif recall, sparked by a salmonella outbreak in states across the country, has rapidly expanded to include items using the peanut product.
A Friday notice from the FDA listed 13 items that have now been recalled in connection with the Jif contamination.
Contaminated items appear to be from locations across store departments, creating a nightmare for shoppers.
Products described on the list include food like fudge, snack packs and packaged fruit trays.
The FDA is encouraging consumers not to consume any of the 13 products currently identified or jars of contaminated Jif that appear to be the origin of the outbreak.
In the original recall earlier this month, the FDA stated potentially tainted jars of Jif would have a lot code from 1274425 through 2140425.
The FDA, along with CDC and state and local partners, are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Senftenberg infections linked to certain Jif peanut butter products produced at the J.M. Smucker Company facility in Lexington, Kentucky. https://t.co/tflb2yhDFh pic.twitter.com/mb1SdpHJIb
— U.S. FDA (@US_FDA) May 21, 2022
Officials from the FDA appear certain about the factory origin of the outbreak.
“FDA conducted Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) analysis on an environmental sample collected at the Lexington, KY, J.M. Smucker Company facility in 2010,” the agency wrote in its latest recall notice.
“The analysis shows that this 2010 environmental sample matches the strain causing illnesses in this current outbreak. Epidemiologic evidence indicates that Jif brand peanut butter produced in the J.M. Smucker Company facility located in Lexington, KY, is the likely cause of illnesses in this outbreak.”
According to the latest FDA-provided data, the total number of illnesses has grown to 16.
Although there have been no deaths, two people have been hospitalized with complications following infection.
The outbreak currently spans Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.
Tainted product is not confined to these states and has been confirmed to have distributed nationwide and overseas.
Hopefully, the recall on this favorite food and ingredient will soon be lifted as all contaminated products are found and destroyed.

(CNN)Jeff Gladney, a cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals, died in a car crash Monday morning in Dallas, according to the team's official website.
Gladney, 25, was among two people who died in the crash, according to CNN affiliate WFAA. CNN has reached out to Gladney's agent for comment.
The crash took place around 2:30 a.m. and involved two vehicles, according to a news release from the Dallas County Sheriff's Department. A preliminary investigation found that a white vehicle was speeding and clipped a second vehicle from behind.
The white vehicle then lost control and hit a freeway pier beam, killing the man and woman inside, the release said. The second vehicle was also occupied by a man and woman, who were not injured.
Gladney was entering the third season of his NFL career, after playing college football at Texas Christian University. The Minnesota Vikings drafted him as a first-round pick in 2020, but the team released him ahead of the 2021 season after he was indicted on charges of felony assault, according to the NFL's website.
Gladney was found not guilty in the incident, and the Cardinals signed him to a two-year contract in March 2022. He had recently been training with the team during the NFL's organized team practices.
"We are devastated to learn of Jeff Gladney's passing," the Cardinals tweeted Monday. "Our hearts go out to his family, friends and all who are mourning this tremendous loss."
The Vikings also released a statement, saying they were saddened by Gladney's death.
"Our hearts go out to his family and friends, as well as the Arizona Cardinals organization and Jeff's current and former teammates and coaches who are mourning his life lost much too soon," the team's' statement read | https://edition.cnn.com/2022/05/30/us/jeff-gladney-nfl-arizona-cardinals-death/index.html | 2022-05-31T07:14:08Z | https://edition.cnn.com/2022/05/30/us/jeff-gladney-nfl-arizona-cardinals-death/index.html | false | 3 |
Ukraine hopes to isolate front line Russian troops by unleashing a barrage of missiles and artillery shells into the enemy’s rear, a military expert has told i.
Heavy weapons with a longer range than most of their existing equipment allows would help Ukrainian forces to prevent Russia reinforcing its front line in the Donbas region.
Ukraine has been asking Western governments urgently for longer-range weapons and analysts believe they intend to use them to attack infantry and other units before they can reach the front as reinforcements.
The targeted and effective use of longer-range artillery and missile systems can, “disrupt rear-echelon forces… the Russian army might otherwise move forward to reinforce troops fighting on the front lines,” said Dr Martin Smith, a senior lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
Although Ukraine has been trying to keep hold of Severodonetsk, Russian troops have moved into the outskirts of the city, which is a key target for Moscow in the east.
But, afraid of being dragged into the conflict and accused of waging a proxy war, Western nations are avoiding sending Ukraine some of the most powerful rocket systems which, in the barracks, are known for having the capability to wipe out entire areas from hundreds of kilometres away.
Ukraine has reportedly received 18 AHS Krab self-propelled howitzers, which have maximum firing ranges of 40km (25 miles), from Poland and M777 howitzers, with a range of about 25km (15 miles), from the US. Denmark has sent Harpoon anti-ship missiles to help Ukraine defend its coastline.
On Monday, Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik said: “A new batch of American M777s is flying to Ukraine. The advantages are fast deployment time, high precision digital fire control system. We will be able to easily hit targets at long range. The occupant won’t get through.”
But Kyiv yearns for the US-made long-range multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), the M270. Mounted onto a vehicle, the system gives troops mobility on the ground.
They can have a firing range of up to 300km (186m), depending on the munition used. The UK’s models can fire 12 surface-to-surface missiles in less than a minute.
Ukraine has also asked for M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, a lighter system than the MLRS.
But US President Joe Biden said he would not send Ukraine a rocket system that could reach inside Russia, after Moscow warned against any major provocations.
Russia’s Security Council deputy chairman Dmitry Medvedev said the decision was “rational”.
Dr Smith said Ukraine’s request for the MLRS was both military and political.
“MLRS is a mobile and versatile system, capable of firing projectiles or missiles with ranges from 20 to just under 200 miles. Depending on what kind of munitions were supplied, MLRS deployment would represent a step-change in capability from what the US and its NATO allies have provided so far.
“This would send a significant signal that the Biden administration is not (yet) seeking to nudge the Zelensky government away from continuing the fight and towards some kind of territorial compromise.”
Dr Smith said Ukraine’s strategy appears to be “to damage and weaken the Russian army fighting in the east, so that even if it takes control of the whole of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, it would be difficult to conduct major follow-up operations, such as a renewed advance on Kharkiv or reinforcing a drive to complete the occupation of Ukraine’s Black Sea coastline”.
Another reason for requesting longer-range weaponry is because Ukraine appears to have decentralised its artillery to make it less vulnerable to the enemy, said Justin Crump, a military veteran and chief executive of intelligence risk firm Sibylline.
He added that longer-range systems allow Ukraine “to hit Russian targets while remaining out of range of fire coming back in return”.
“This also means more easily reaching Russian depth targets like logistics chains, depots, assembly areas for troops, and so on.
Mr Crump said the MLRS was known as a grid-square remover in “military black humour”.
“They can effectively barrage a 1km square area and cause significant damage to everything in it. With the right rockets though they can be precise as well, so these are versatile and effective systems. They far out range the sort of rocket systems currently being used – effectively, it has to be said – by Russian forces.
“They are also quicker to reload and get back into action than the Russian varieties. Albeit they do have a training and supply burden, as with all western equipment being provided.” | https://inews.co.uk/news/world/ukraine-longer-range-weapons-russias-front-line-back-up-forces-1658665 | 2022-05-31T07:14:55Z | https://inews.co.uk/news/world/ukraine-longer-range-weapons-russias-front-line-back-up-forces-1658665 | true | 1 |

both sides of the pond
It’s four extraordinary actors in a room. On one side of the table are Jason Isaacs and Martha Plimpton, as parents of a dead child. Facing them are Ann Dowd and Reed Birney, as parents of the child who did the killing. They’re talking. Just talking. And Mass — the extraordinary writing and directing debut of actor Fran Kranz — is riveting, and harrowing, and difficult to endure, and unforgettable. America’s shame is on wide open display here, for it was, of course, a school shooting that destroyed both these families. This is a deeply personal film, with grief and desperation and recriminations and blame bouncing between these profoundly hurting people. Mass takes no political stance whatsoever, yet ends up a shattering indictment of contemporary American culture anyway.

last chance on Netflix
Badass Times of London journalist Marie Colvin was killed in Syria in 2012, a targeted retaliation by President Bashar al-Assad for her reporting on the government siege and massacre of civilians in Homs. Her legend lives on in A Private War, a moving and important portrait of the foreign correspondent and her brilliant career. Rosamund Pike delivers the performance of her career, unpeeling for us Colvin’s many messy, contradictory layers with a sharp sensitivity. (It Boy Jamie Dornan costars as her photographer work partner.) This is a somber movie, often gripping, occasionally also angry-funny, and reminder — never not necessary — of the vital need for unfettered journalism to reveal the horrors governments would prefer to keep hidden.

Historical feminist horror? Maxine Peake is stupendous in the deliciously audacious Fanny Lye Deliver’d — aka The Delivered in the US — as a woman confronting the enforced piety and stifling patriarchy of her world. Set in Oliver Cromwell’s puritanical, despotic 17th-century England, this unsettling film plays with tropes of the home-invasion subgenre to create a challenging drama that is ambitious in emotional scope, and full of monsters who feel unexpectedly modern: men who wield religion as a tool of oppression.

go absolutely ape on Disney+
Get your damned dirty ape hands (virtually) on a veritable film festival of Planet of the Apes movies, just added to Disney+. Begin with the 1968 classic that started it all, starring Charlton Heston as an astronaut stranded in a place where “apes evolved from men?!” and where, he later discovers, “they did it, they finally did it!” Then get your hands dirtier with the rest of the original series with Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970, D+), Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971, D+), Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972, D+), and Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973, D+).
Skip right over Tim Burton’s 2001 rebooted Planet of the Apes (D+), starring Mark Wahlberg — it’s very silly — and instead dive into the three-film series of the past decade. Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011, D+) genetically engineers away the jokiness and hokeyness, leaving something pure and sweet and poignant behind in its very humanist tale of a scientist (James Franco) who accidentally creates smart apes with his drug meant to cure dementia in humans. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014, D+) continues the magnificent science fiction drama, as the remnants of humanity left after a “simian flu” apocalypse must learn to share the planet with smart apes. The series conclusion, with War for the Planet of the Apes (2017, D+), is a triumph of science fiction storytelling: a sweeping tale of mythological scope told with astonishing FX wizardry that brings emotion and intelligence to nonhuman people. This new Apes trilogy is unexpectedly beautiful, and wonderfully radical, particularly for big-screen SF these days, not only for its principled ideas but letting itself be ruled by those ideas.

Disgusted by Biden, Green Berets Team Up with Massive Plans for Congress
The list of Americans who are growing tired of President Joe Biden’s incompetence has been growing by the day. This Memorial Day, one United States Army Special Forces veteran is doing something about it.
According to Fox News, Green Beret veteran Jason Bacon launched the Green Beret PAC on Monday.
Bacon previously ran for Congress, and said his PAC will be aimed at helping other Special Forces and conservative veterans who are currently running for Congress.
“It is no coincidence that we are launching on Memorial Day, less than a year after we witnessed the Biden administration’s failed leadership contribute to the loss of American lives in Afghanistan,” Bacon said in a news release, according to Fox.
“It is imperative that we elect real leaders to Congress with the knowledge and experience to prevent this kind of travesty.”
Bacon said Biden’s disastrous handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal proved the president is unequipped to make military decisions for the country.
In contrast, he said, many of the veterans who are running for Congress have already proven their qualifications on the battlefield.
“Green Berets have spent years implementing U.S. Foreign Policy on the ground,” Bacon statement added, according to Fox. “They are warrior-diplomats, who have learned foreign languages, understand foreign cultures, and have lived among local populations.
“They have a breadth of experience that surpasses that of a typical Congressional candidate. We are proud to support these outstanding candidates for Congress.”
The Green Beret PAC announced its endorsement of eight Green Beret veterans who are running as Republicans for Congress in November.
In the House, they are Tyler Allcorn in Colorado; Jay Collins and Mike Waltz, an incumbent, in Florida; Christian Castelli and Pat Harrigan in North Carolina; Derrick Anderson in Virginia; and Joe Kent in Washington.
In the Senate, Don Buldoc, a retired brigadier general, is running in New Hampshire.
The PAC also endorsed Eli Crane, a former Navy SEAL who is running for Congress in Arizona.
Christopher Miller, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces colonel and former acting U.S. secretary of defense, was chosen as the chairman of the board for the Green Beret PAC, Fox reported.
In an August 2021 interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, Biden refused to say he could have handled the Afghanistan withdrawal better.
“We’re gonna go back in hindsight and look, but the idea that somehow there’s a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don’t know how that happens,” Biden said.
EXCLUSIVE: Pressed on whether the U.S.’s exit from Afghanistan could have been handled better, Pres. Biden tells @GStephanopoulos, “The idea that somehow, there’s a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing—I don’t know how that happens.” https://t.co/mH1AyWI5lb pic.twitter.com/osAwdDQy2L

In the same interview, Biden promised to get all American citizens out of Afghanistan. Just 15 days later, he announced the war in Afghanistan was over despite admitting “about 100 to 200 Americans remain in Afghanistan with some intention to leave,” Fox News reported.
Of all the mistakes Biden made in Afghanistan, breaking his promise to bring every American home was perhaps the most shocking to many veterans.
“What’s really troublesome and almost frightening to know is that we have a commander in chief who does not see the imperative of bringing the Americans home,” retired Lt. Gen. William “Jerry” Boykin told Fox News in September. “That’s a longstanding ethos, not just of the military, but of America.”
Bacon does not want to let another cataclysmic mistake like that occur, and he hopes his support of veterans for Congress is a step in the right direction.

Archaeologists say more than 4,000 people lived in the place in Mexico's Merida during 600-900AD
Americas3 days ago
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday a proposed freeze on handgun ownership in Canada that would effectively ban their importation and sale, following recent mass shootings in the United States.
The bill must still be passed by Parliament, with the ruling Liberals holding only a minority of seats.
“We’re introducing legislation to implement a national freeze on handgun ownership,” Trudeau told a news conference, joined by dozens of families and friends of victims of gun violence.
“What this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada,” he said. “In other words, we’re capping the market for handguns.”
Days after Canada’s worst mass shooting left 23 dead in rural Nova Scotia in April 2020, the government banned 1,500 types of military-grade or assault-style firearms.
But Trudeau acknowledged Monday that gun violence continues to rise.
The government statistical agency reported last week that firearms-related violent crimes account for less than three percent of all violent crimes in Canada.
But since 2009 the per capita rate of guns being pointed at someone has nearly tripled, while the rate at which a gun was fired with an intent to kill or wound is up five-fold.
Almost two-thirds of gun crimes in urban areas involved handguns.
Police often point to smuggling from the United States — which is reeling from recent shootings at a school in Texas and at a supermarket in New York state — as the main source of handguns.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino estimated there are about one million handguns in this country — up significantly from a decade ago.
“People should be free to go to the supermarket, their school or their place of worship without fear,” Trudeau said.
“People should be free to go to the park or to a birthday party without worrying about what might happen from a stray bullet.
“Gun violence is a complex problem,” he said. “But at the end of the day, the math is really quite simple: the fewer the guns in our communities, the safer everyone will be.”
New Democratic public safety critic, MP Alistair MacGregor, indicated his party would be willing to work with the Liberals to get the proposed law passed.
“We want to believe that today’s announcement on gun violence is an urgent priority and not just another political stunt from this government, but there is a pattern of behavior from the Liberals to only use gun violence as a means to score political points,” he said in a statement.
ALSO READ:
But many in the Conservative Party criticized the proposal as unhelpful.
“The real problem in this country is not the law-abiding firearms owners, who are heavily regulated, heavily licensed,” John Brassard, minority leader in the House of Commons, told the CBC.
“The real problem in this country has to do with gangs and criminals who are importing firearms, mostly from the United States, using illegal guns on our streets,” he said.
And Conservative MP Raquel Dancho, her party’s parliamentary critic for public safety, echoed the same sentiment.
“Today’s announcement fails to focus on the root cause of gun violence in our cities: illegal guns smuggled into Canada by criminal gangs,” she tweeted.
The proposed law would also strip anyone involved in domestic violence or stalking of their firearms license, and take away guns from those deemed to be a risk to themselves or others, as well as strengthen border security and criminal penalties for gun trafficking.
It would also ban long-gun magazines capable of holding more than five bullets.
Canada’s Coalition for Gun Control, founded after 14 women were killed at a university in Montreal in 1989, praised Trudeau’s proposal.
“The proposed phasing out of private handgun ownership, is a major step forward and shows that the Government has been listening to the voices of victims,” organization president Wendy Cukier said in a statement.

Cargo tracking improves Zimra tax compliance
3 hrs ago | Views
THE Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) has seen improved tax compliance due to its new electronic cargo tracking system (ECTS), which has enhanced monitoring of taxpayers and transit freight in the country.
This is contained in a report released by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in its report titled Growing Intra-African Trade Through Digital Transformation of Border and Customs Services, focussing on the African continent.
According to the WEF report, in the first year of using ECTS, Zimbabwe's tax regulator managed to intercept a significant number of cases of cargo fraud while the number of new tax registrations recorded went up markedly.
"Four tankers that entered Zimbabwe with 140 000 litres of diesel were detained after it emerged that while supposedly in transit to the DRC their contents were illegally emptied within Zimbabwe and replaced with an equivalent volume of water, this saved Zimbabwe US$55 650 in excise during the month of the incident," WEF said in its report.
Zimra's monitoring and tax collection capabilities have reportedly been strengthened, resulting in the registration of 3 232 new taxpayers while the system picked out irregularities that resulted in 106 cases being referred to audit.
After a series of fraud and tax avoidance, in 2017, Zimra, with the support of the African Development Bank (AfDB and Techno Brain, introduced an ECTS to curb incidents of dumping and reduce the operational cost of transit monitoring and strengthen enforcement of cargo handling regulations.
Economist Namatai Maeresera said, "The ability to move goods swiftly at a sustainable cost helps to build and strengthen regional value chains by increasing the incentive to source raw materials, intermediate goods and finished products within a specific region as these items can be obtained at competitive prices."
Zimra's ECTS system uses 21 geo-fenced transit routes covering all important commercial cargo such as break-bulk cargo, containerised cargo and fuel tankers. It is also integrated into the existing ASYCUDA (Automated Systems for Customs Data) World portal.
"If businesses feel safe to transport goods through your roads and rail, it will help the country with the much needed revenue from road usage fees.
"This also means that the country can now effectively track its income through the systems and gone are the days of offloading and replacing goods in transit," Mr Maeresera added.
According to the WEF, before the introduction of the ECTS in Zimbabwe, there was widespread dumping of illegal imports on the country's domestic markets, due partly to the absence of an effective cargo tracking mechanism.
"At the time, only transit data was available in the system and consequently other data was being tampered with and delays in transit often occurred, along with incidents of theft and smuggling. For example, between 2009 and 2016, the smuggling of petrol and diesel increased by almost 600 percent, and it is alleged that smugglers would often disguise petrol and diesel as duty-free paraffin," the organization said.
Using electronic seal devices that are attached to the transit cargo at the ports of entry has enabled real-time tracking and monitoring of transit cargo from the point of entry into the country to the point of exit.
"These electronic seals are linked to the designated ECTS control room, which reports any violations or tampering to the standby Zimra reaction teams for corrective action, which may include seizure of the cargo or penalties depending on the nature of the offence," WEF said.

The Double Or Nothing weekend issues have reportedly caused MJF some heat within the AEW locker room.
As PWMania.com previously reported, MJF’s status for AEW Double Or Nothing was in doubt this weekend after failing to appear at Saturday’s Fan Fest due to ongoing issues with AEW President Tony Khan. MJF ended up opening Double Or Nothing with Wardlow, who defeated his former teammate for the win. After the match, MJF was stretchered away. Following the conclusion of Double Or Nothing, it was reported that MJF arrived at the T-Mobile Arena shortly before Sunday’s match and then left immediately afterward. It was also reported that MJF will miss the next few AEW TV tapings, if not more. According to Fightful, MJF has a lot to think about in terms of the future. It was also reported that a meeting with Khan and MJF was planned.
Khan and MJF were scheduled to meet in Vegas on Monday at 8 p.m. ET. We’re waiting for details about their meeting.
According to PWInsider, some talents are unhappy with MJF due to the situation. According to the report, MJF and AEW officials were in Vegas on Monday evening. Officials and wrestlers are scheduled to fly to Los Angeles for the Dynamite Los Angeles debut on Wednesday at The Forum.
It was also stated that within AEW, there is a view that while an agreement was reached to get through the match with Wardlow at Double Or Nothing, nothing has been resolved regarding the two sides’ core issues. Furthermore, the report stated that the two parties are now more inclined to sit down and try to find a solution than they were a few days ago, which is consistent with an earlier story that Khan and MJF were preparing a meeting.
PWInsider reports that MJF arrived at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday as The Buy-In pre-show was in progress. He was promptly taken to a room, and it is said that most in the locker room had no idea whether he was there or not, and even when his music began to play, he was not in the Gorilla Position for the main card opener against Wardlow.
The fact that MJF was not in Gorilla when his music was played caused some people who knew he was there to be concerned, as they assumed he had walked out of the arena, but he eventually showed up and made his way to the ring. This latest report also confirms that MJF left the arena as soon as he was stretchered to the back after Wardlow’s loss. He was spotted leaving the venue alongside AEW Producer Pat Buck.
AEW’s contract with MJF will expire on January 1, 2024. When the time comes, he has stated that he will wrestle wherever the money is, and many sources have revealed that WWE is interested in him. While Khan and MJF have been clashing for a few months, they once had a good friendship. Khan is said to have told other stars that he’d be willing to pay MJF like a top talent since their heated argument in late March. MJF’s unhappiness, on the other hand, continued. AEW approached MJF regarding contract talks, which were blown off for weeks, but MJF told several people backstage that he understood the problem would likely come to a head and be discussed during Double Or Nothing Week.
It’s unclear whether or not this entire situation is a work, but we know that it didn’t start that way.

Angel of death came
Once the Prophet Sulaiman عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ and a man were sitting together when the angel of death Azrael عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ came up in human form. He did not utter a word and just sat down staring at the man.
How old was Prophet Sulaiman when he died?
The man inquired about him
He sat for some time staring at the man and then disappeared. When he disappeared, the man inquired Prophet Sulaiman عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ about him. Prophet Sulaiman عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ replied that he was Azrael عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ, the angel of death.
He wished to go to India
He exclaimed that the angel of death had only come to stare at him! This means that he intends to take away his life. Upon this, the Prophet asked the man what he wanted. The man request Prophet Sulaiman عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ to take him to India.
Winds took him to India
Prophet Sulaiman عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ was in control of Jinns as well. He instructed them to take him to India and upon the will of Allah, the winds drove him to India.
Angel of death came again
A few moments later, the angel of death appeared again. Prophet Sulaiman عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ inquired why he kept staring at the man.
Azrael عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ replied that Allah had ordered him to take away his life in India and he was just confused that what the man was doing here and why he wasn’t in India!
Conclusion
The man was destined to die in India and he thought he had escaped death by moving to India. You cannot escape death so better be prepared for it.
This story of Prophet Sulaiman عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ and the angel of death has been quoted in several books of hadith such as;
- Ibn Abi Sheebah by Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Sheebah (776-850).
- Kitab Al-Zuhd by Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (780-855).
-
Al-Adhamah by Abu Al-Shaykh Abdullah Al-Asbahani (887-979).
- Tarikh Madinat Dimash by Ali Ibn Hasan Ibn ‘Asakir (1106-1176).

South African-born singer-songwriter Toya Delazy and her wife Allison “Ally” Chaig welcomed their baby girl on Friday 20 May sharing that both mom and baby were doing well after the delivery.

Toya Delazy announced she was expecting a baby with Ally Chaig on 22 February and shared Ally’s pregnancy journey often with her followers.
Taking to Instagram on Monday 30 May, Delazy got candid with her thousands of followers about the day their baby girl was born.
“Bags were packed, Uber at the door. After all your mommy’s squats, raspberry leaf teas, meditation and belly rubs, you were finally ready to meet us and see the world on 20 May 2022, in London E1, where our UK adventure started for your mum and [me], seven years ago.”
The Pump It On hitmaker explained that Kali Langa’s baby name means “Strength” in Swahili and “Sunshine” in Zulu. “Just like the ray of sun that pierced through the clouds at 17:15,” added Delazy.
“You also carry the powerful name of a Hindu goddess, representing time, the force of nature and divine feminine. You are also born on the day your great grandfather King Dinizulu ka Cetswayo was officially recognised as King of the Zulu’s by the British government.”
“Baby, you already carry so much history, but hold it with pride for it’s your birthright.” You’re so beautiful, I will love you forever, I will protect you with all my strength and I will be your guide whenever you need me.”
The 32-year-old muso and her wife officially tied the knot on 25 October at St George’s Town Hall in London.
The couple celebrated their 10th anniversary on 8 October 2021.

'I wish I was a man,' says China's Zheng as stomach cramps end French Open bid
China's Zheng Qinwen said severe stomach cramps ruined her hopes of completing a shock French Open win against world No. 1 Iga Swiatek on Monday and left her "wishing I was a man."
Zheng, just 19 and playing in her first Roland Garros, took the first set off the top seed before slipping to a 6-7 (5/7), 6-0, 6-2 defeat in their last-16 tie.
The world No. 74 had needed a medical timeout to strap her injured right leg early in the second set but she revealed that was the least of her concerns.
"It's just girl things," Zheng said in reference to her menstrual pain.
"The first day is always so tough and then I have to do sport and I always have so much pain on the first day.
"I couldn't go against my nature. I wish I can be a man so that I don't have to suffer from this. It's tough."
In an 82-minute opening set, Zheng saved five set points, had two of her own and then clawed her way back from 2/5 down in the tiebreak to stun the top seed.
It was the first set lost by Swiatek since April 23, when she was stretched by Liudmila Samsonova in the semi-finals in Stuttgart.
As the 2020 Roland Garros champion's streak looked in peril, Zheng required a medical timeout at 0-3 in the second set for a leg injury.
Zheng, who had defeated 2018 champion Simona Halep on her way to the fourth round, returned with her right thigh heavily strapped and quickly dropped the second set.
Swiatek carved out a double break in the decider against her tiring opponent, whose physical problems contributed to her 46 unforced errors.
"The leg made it tough," added Zheng. "But that compared to the stomach was easy. I cannot play my tennis because the stomach was too much painful.
"I really give my best on the court, it's just tough."
Swiatek extended her winning streak to 32 matches to equal the third-best winning streak this century set by Justine Henin 14 years ago.
"Zheng played amazing tennis," said Swiatek after reaching the quarter-finals for a third successive year.
"I was surprised with some of her shots, her topspin was amazing. Huge congrats to her. I am happy to come back after a frustrating first set when I had the lead.
"I am proud to be still in the tournament."
Swiatek will face US 11th seed Jessica Pegula for a place in the semi-finals. | https://www.shine.cn/sport/2205316243/ | 2022-05-31T08:21:12Z | https://www.shine.cn/sport/2205316243/ | false | 7 |
SEATTLE — Gov. Jay Inslee’s appointments to an obscure regulatory panel have cost Washington state $70,000 in a public records lawsuit settlement — and forced the governor to name new appointees.
The dispute centered on Inslee’s handling of appointments to the Washington State Building Code Council, which establishes minimum standards for new construction, including rules for energy efficiency, plumbing and fire safety, The Seattle Times reported.
State law says two of the council’s 15 members must be nominated by trade associations representing residential and commercial builders. But Inslee last year ignored builder group recommendations and instead named two of his own picks.
The Building Industry Association of Washington and the Associated General Contractors of Washington sued over the appointments and filed another lawsuit saying the governor’s office failed to turn over relevant documents after a public records request.
The state later admitted that a member of Inslee’s staff had made a material false statement in a sworn court declaration by saying one of Inslee’s nominees had been put forward by another building trade group, when he had not.
In a Dec. 10 court hearing, Thurston County Superior Court Judge James Dixon called that misrepresentation “at a minimum … negligent. It may have been reckless, it may have been intentional.” But he declined to immediately impose sanctions against the state over it.
In April, the state and the builder groups agreed to a single settlement agreement of both lawsuits.
The settlement required Inslee’s appointees to resign and for the governor to name two new members to the council from a list of nominees provided by the groups. Inslee named the two new members this month. The agreement also required Inslee’s office to pay $70,000 to settle the public records case.
The builder groups say it should not have taken litigation to get Inslee to follow the law.
Inslee spokesman Mike Faulk noted in an email Friday the settlement stipulated the governor’s office did not act “in bad faith” on either the appointments or the records. | https://lmtribune.com/northwest/inslee-names-new-appointees-to-panel/article_c09cd81e-bd00-500a-98bc-437e36d7019c.html | 2022-05-31T08:23:54Z | https://lmtribune.com/northwest/inslee-names-new-appointees-to-panel/article_c09cd81e-bd00-500a-98bc-437e36d7019c.html | true | 12 |

"I am very pleased with the results achieved.

This is the result of the work of our scientists who strive to provide our clients with high quality services every day. At Selvita, we believe that people are the most important asset, and our financial results reflect this," comments Bogusław Sieczkowski, Chief Executive Officer at Selvita S.A.

"The high value of contracted orders allows us to be optimistic about the entire year 2022," adds Sieczkowski.
New Development Strategy 2022 - 2025
"During the first quarter of this year, we worked intensively on our new strategy. Rapid development of the Group over the last years meant that our previous, four-year strategy, was implemented in a little over two years. As part of the assumptions of the new development plan, we plan to grow three times by 2025, and achieve annual revenues of EUR 200 million, while maintaining a stable, high margin. We are convinced that the implementation of these goals will allow us to become a global, preclinical CRO, offering clients an increasingly comprehensive range of services," said Sieczkowski.
In the first months of 2022, Selvita made several operational steps supporting further development of the Group. Integration of services in the area of drug discovery, integration of sales and business development, as well as creation of a department supporting the management of operational activities, investments, and infrastructure, constitute a strong foundation for the implementation of the assumptions of the new strategy for 2022-2025.

PHILIPSBURG–After the prosecutor dropped charges against Claudius “Toontje” Buncamper in the Appeals Court on May 11, the suspended member of parliament was fully acquitted of tax evasion and forgery on Monday.
The case was referred back to the court in St. Maarten by the Supreme Court of the Netherlands on March 16, 2021, on the grounds that “the evidence does not automatically show that the defendant has led the offences committed by Eco Green and therefore the ruling is insufficiently motivated.”
The court in Philipsburg also considered that what he was accused of had not been proven and acquitted Buncamper on all counts.
The criminal investigation “BuMo” (contraction of Buncamper-Molanus, the names of the suspect and his wife Maria Buncamper-Molanus) has cost the St. Maarten community a fortune and yielded little, according to the politician. “What does Eco Green owe the Land of St. Maarten? $2,000 in tax arrears? I wouldn’t know. What exactly Eco Green has done wrong, the verdict doesn’t say.”
The joy over his acquittal was short-lived, Buncamper said. “What sticks is a bitter feeling. This BuMo case, it has taken 12 years. Twelve years of fighting for justice and clearing of our name.”
Seven of the eight charges brought against Buncamper and his wife by the St. Maarten Prosecutor’s Office were dismissed by the Court of Appeals, Buncamper wrote two years ago in an open letter.
“What remained was a sentence for not having filled out a tax return form correctly. Therefore, we received a fine and community service. Mind you, the tax return form in question was filled out and submitted by a European Dutch accountant – a professional and previous employee of the St. Maarten Tax Inspectorate Office, whose independent services years after his tenure with the St. Maarten Tax Inspectorate Office were contracted to file same taxes correctly.”
This specific matter was then subject of cassation with the Supreme Court in the Netherlands.
“For us, it’s also a matter of principle,” Buncamper said. And it still is, according to his reflections after the ruling on Monday. “I believe the cardinal question that still needs to be answered is: which crime did Eco Green commit? The verdict is clear that this question will not be answered because I’m already being acquitted.”
The problem with that is simple, he said. “What is there to hide? They didn’t see the need to answer the question because they knew that the answer would open the door for my wife to request a revisiting of her case.”
Attorney Jairo Bloem said on Monday, that while justice finally had been done for Claudius Buncamper, he hopes that the same can soon be said for Maria Buncamper also.
“Within the system of law and as for the prevailing jurisprudence of the Supreme Court about criminal liability of corporations and their alleged factual managers, one first establishes if a company is culpable,” Bloem said.
“The legal threshold for such culpability is lower than the threshold for culpability of possible factual managers or directors. By law, factual managers can only possibly be found guilty if the corporation for which they work is first found guilty. In other words: culpability of corporations is a prerequisite for investigating and analysing if a factual leader or director of said corporation is also guilty.”
The Court of Appeals now turned this around and first adjudicated Buncamper’s culpability, his attorney stated. “He was found not guilty, regardless if the company is guilty or not.”
Bloem noted that one can question this methodology and also whether it fits within the closed criminal procedural, step-by-step, system. “Be it as it may, if the Court of Appeals would have ruled on the criminal culpability of the company Eco Green and such ruling resulted in the acquittal of Eco Green, this could have far-reaching consequences for the for now-still-irrevocable verdict in the case of Maria Buncamper.”
Such a decision would justify a revision demand for the verdict in the case of Maria Buncamper, the attorney explained. “Considering the evidence that was reintroduced in this case after it regretfully went missing previously with Court of Appeals, Eco Green had a fair chance, in my opinion, to be fully acquitted. The potential consequences thereof, namely the subsequent acquittal also of Maria Buncamper, cannot be denied.”
As such, the defence was looking forward to a customary step-by-step decision by the Court of Appeals, meaning a ruling first on the culpability of Eco Green. This was not rendered, Bloem concluded, saying: “Hopefully new evidence and data surge in the near future that would still allow Maria Buncamper to seek the revision and the acquittal that she also deserves.”

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala Portfolio: Shares of Jubilant Pharmova Ltd. have plunged 55 per cent from their 52-week high levels and dropped over 13 per cent in the past one month. The pharma company also reported a weak set of quarterly numbers with margins taking a hit due to pricing pressures in the US market.
Jubilant Pharmova Limited reported total income of Rs. 1524.57 crores during the period ended March 31, 2022 as against Rs. 1316.44 crore during the period ended December 31, 2021. The company posted a net profit of Rs. 59.55 crores for the period ended March 31, 2022 as against net profit / (loss) of Rs. 50.99 crores for the period ended December 31, 2021.
The Board of Directors of Jubilant Pharmova Ltd has, at its meeting held on May 27, 2022, also recommended a dividend of Rs. 5 (Rupees Five only) per equity share of Re. 1 each for the year ended March 31, 2022.
Big Bull of the Indian market, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala holds 10,770,000 equity shares, aggregating to 6.8 per cent stake in the company. It is also one of the stocks in which the billionaire investor marginally raised his position from 6.3 per cent in December, 2021 quarter to 6.8 per cent in March 2022.
As per the latest corporate shareholdings, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and Associates publicly holds 34 stocks in the quarter ended March 2022. The net worth of these stocks has been estimated to be over Rs 29,660.1 crore as on May 30, by stock analysis platform trendlyne.com.
What Should Investors Do?
Analysts said near to medium-term growth would remain under pressure due to regulatory issues, slow recovery in the API business and inflated costs, but felt the recent correction on the counter has made valuations reasonable. They have price targets that suggest flat to 30 per cent potential upside on the counter.
Motilal Oswal Securities finds the stock worth Rs 430, at 7 times EV/Ebitda, as it sees flat earnings growth for FY23.
Among the key segments, generics sales fell 29 per cent YoY and accounted for 14 per cent of sales for the quarter. The import alert at its Roorkee site, pricing pressure in the US, and lower Remdesivir sales impacted its performance in generics, Motilal Oswal said.
Meanwhile, another brokerage firm, ICICI Securities, upgraded the stock to ‘Add’ from ‘hold’. It feels recent correction in the past six months make the stock a good bargain. “Recent correction in the price makes valuations reasonable. Hence, we upgrade the stock to ADD from Hold with a revised TP of Rs447/share (earlier: Rs 550/share)," it said.
Near term drivers are weak, Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities, while suggesting a couple of medium to long term business drivers including reorganisation of API and drug discovery businesses into a single entity should help the company build a larger scale. The reorganisation is expected to be completed in July.
“In the long term, we see the ongoing capacity expansion (US$92mn investment) in the CMO business adding value post FY24. The generics business can recover once the import order on the Roorkee facility is lifted. Radiopharma can surprise on the upside in the medium term, led by their efforts in building an innovative pipeline. The most near term target is MIBG, which is being evaluated in Phase 2/3 trials," Nirmal Bang said while suggesting a target of Rs 532 on the counter.

Sorry Alex Twal - you're on your own.
While most fans love their try-scoring heroes, Tigers fan favourite Twal has become something of a cult for his inability to get across the stripe.

They even recently launched a petition to allow a pitch invasion if or when he does, though his tally of try-less games stretched to 100 in the Tigers last outing.
It's the longest active streak, though he has some time to avoid former Tigers prop Bryce Gibbs' mark of 134 games without a four-pointer.
Dragons bookend Blake Lawrie had gone about the business of not finding the try-line in much quieter fashion.
Most were only made aware of his 90-game try-less streak when he broke it against the Bulldogs on the weekend.
Helluva time to do it too, his 74th minute four-pointer sealing a crucial 34-24 win over a spirited Bulldogs at their spiritual home of Belmore.
"I was having a rest behind the play-the-ball and Dozer (Ben Hunt) tells me to get around and run a lead," Lawrie said.
"I ran a lead and Macca (Andrew McCullough) hit me in the bread basket, I hit and spun and scored. I couldn't do anything, I just got swamped.
"I got that many head-butts off the boys saying 'how good'. Tariq (Sims) came over afterwards and said 'one try, six interviews after the game'.
"It was a relief, I'll tell you that. It was 90-odd games and finally I'm a try-scorer in the NRL. I just wanted to get one before I retired so that was the main thing."
Call it a reward for the the countless times he'd run a lead without getting the footy. On that tally the 25-year-old reckons he'd be nudging Immortal status.
"It'd be well over a hundred, easy," he said.
"Hopefully I'm not one-and-done and they keep flowing now. Obviously I got a try but the two [competition] points were more important.
"It was really crucial two points for us. It's a four-point win going into a bye next week and then we head up to Townsville looking to get the two points against the Cowboys who are playing some pretty good footy."
It may have come over the wooden-spoon favourites, but the Dragons won't pick up a more important win this season.

It was not the type of performance that will seal a finals berth but, like a come-from-behind victory over the Warriors a week earlier, it was a vital step back from the edge of the top-eight cliff.
"We're 6-6 now at the 12-week mark and we haven't played an 80 minutes of footy yet," Lawrie said.
"We had a great first half, up 16-2, 16-8 at halftime, then they came out and scored a couple of tries, it was game on and we had to win it back.
"We showed some resilience but we've been resilient all year. We've never shut up shop and let teams run over us, but there's periods of the game where we've got to be better for sure.
"We've got to put 80 minutes together. The sooner we do that, the better we'll be."

Which wall-mounted wine rack is best?
A wine rack is a practical, stylish way to organize bottles, and a wall-mounted wine rack goes that extra mile without taking up floor space. It’s great for small spaces or areas where too much furniture would make the room feel cluttered. It also lets you store items at eye level, so there’s no need to bend down to retrieve a bottle.
Take a look at the GWH Industrial Wall-Mounted Wine Rack for a rack that pulls double duty and looks great doing it.
What to know before you buy a wall-mounted wine rack
For bottles with a cork
A wall-mounted wine rack is designed to either store a bottle upright or cradle it on its side. When deciding how you want to store wine bottles, consider the wine you drink. Does the bottle have a cork? Corked bottles should be cradled to keep the cork from drying out, while twist-cap bottles can be arranged vertically without the same concern.
Tall vs. wide rack
Most wine racks are tall (vertical) or wide (horizontal). Tall racks tend to store bottles on their sides while wide racks usually store bottles upright. It’s important to measure the space you intend to use, as wide racks are more likely to bump up against furniture or picture frames. A tall rack usually holds more bottles, is better for corks and takes up less space, but the height can make it difficult to reach bottles near the top.
Hardware
Most wall-mounted wine racks come with the same basic hardware, including precut holes in the rack and metal screws for mounting. If a rack doesn’t come with anchors, you might want to buy them separately for extra support. Products can come with missing screws, so count the screws before you begin to make sure you have the correct number.
What to look for in a quality wall-mounted wine rack
Additional storage
If you only need space for a few bottles at a time, a wine rack with extra storage features is convenient and helps minimize your need for other shelving. Additional storage can mean a shelf or two above the rack for barware or souvenir displays. A lot of racks include hooks or slots for hanging wine glasses, and some feature a compartment for used corks.
Construction materials
The strongest, most stylish wine racks are constructed from wood or metal. Wood is sturdy with beautiful natural tones, while a steel or iron rack is strong and sleek with a modern or industrial aesthetic. If you’re not sure what kind of look you want, consider a rack that brings together wood and metal.
Artistic elements
A great wine rack doesn’t just store bottles on a wall — it doubles as a dynamic, engaging piece of art. With a fun theme or bold geometric design, it can go from being a practical wall accessory to a room’s focus. Keep in mind, however, that highly stylized racks often hold fewer bottles than racks designed primarily for practicality.
How much you can expect to spend on a wall-mounted wine rack
A wall-mounted wine rack usually costs $30-$200, depending on how elaborate the design is and the number of bottles it can accommodate.
Wall-mounted wine rack FAQ
How much does a bottle of wine weigh?
A. A single bottle of wine weighs about 2-3 pounds. If your rack has a weight capacity but doesn’t feature individual bottle slots, just multiply the weight of the bottle by the number of bottles you want to store to make sure you’re not going over the limit.
How many bottles does a wall-mounted wine rack hold?
A. Wall-mounted wine racks under 25 inches in length or height hold two to six bottles, while large racks over 30 inches in length or height can accommodate 9-27 bottles.
Can you hang a wall-mounted wine rack on drywall?
A. You can hang the wine rack on drywall, but take extra precautions. Use anchors to keep the screws secure. If possible, line the rack up against the stud, which is a solid wood support structure that runs vertically behind the wall. There is usually a stud every few feet.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities say a father and his 9-year-old son were killed in a drive-by shooting in Philadelphia during a violent holiday weekend that’s seen at least nine other homicides in the city.
Separately, two women and an unborn child were fatally shot inside a car Sunday following a domestic dispute in suburban Chester County, according to the district attorney’s office. A suspect was arrested after allegedly stealing a car at gunpoint and a police pursuit.
And on the other side of the state, Pittsburgh police announced an arrest Monday in a drive-by shooting that took the life of a 1-year-old infant the previous afternoon.
In Philadelphia, Inspector D.F. Pace told reporters the slain 38-year-old father was in a car with his son and had just parked near his home when more than a dozen shots were fired from another vehicle at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday. The two victims were taken to separate hospitals, where they were pronounced dead. The victims had not been identified by police as of Monday.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney demanded an end to the violence.
“Families and friends are losing loved ones, and our youth are having their lives and potential cut short,” he tweeted. “We must all work together to end this heartbreaking, maddening epidemic.”
In Chester County, District Attorney Deb Ryan said Mamadou Kallie, 23, of Coatesville, was charged with two counts of homicide and killing an unborn child.
Ryan’s office said Coatesville police responded to a domestic dispute involving Kallie and one of the victims at around 9:20 p.m. Sunday. Thirty minutes later, Valley Township police responded to a vehicle crash and reports of shots fired, and found two women who had been shot multiple times. They were not identified.
A 22-month-old child in the back seat was unharmed.
Kallie was arrested at around 11:40 p.m. after a carjacking and police pursuit, the district attorney’s office said. It was unclear whether Falconer had an attorney.
“These senseless and tragic murders of two women and an unborn child should outrage everyone. Domestic violence continues to plague our communities and our homes,” Ryan said in a statement.
In western Pennsylvania, the Allegheny County medical examiner’s office identified the infant killed Saturday as DeAvry Thomas.
Assistant Chief Lavonnie Bickerstaff said neither the child nor his mother were the intended target of the shooting. Officials said the vehicle involved in the drive-by had been recovered in Pittsburgh, and on Monday announced homicide and criminal conspiracy charges against 26-year-old Londell Falconer. It was unclear whether Falconer had an attorney; messages could not be left Monday at numbers listed for that name.
At least nine people have been fatally shot in Philadelphia since the start of Memorial Day Weekend on Saturday, many in the city’s north.
Police said a shooting at around 6:40 p.m. Monday in north Philadelphia killed a 26-year-old man and hospitalized a 23-year-old in critical condition after being shot multiple times in the torso.

As of today, the first green bond issued by the Republic of Austria is listed in the "Vienna ESG Segment" of the Vienna Stock Exchange. By taking into account the Green Bond Principles of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) as well as criteria of the EU taxonomy, the Republic of Austria follows the highest sustainability standards. The bond with a coupon of 1.85% matures on 23 May 2049. A total issue amount of EUR 4 billion was subscribed by institutional investors, the order book closed in excess of EUR 25.4 billion with 70% being green investors. The Federal Minister of Finance, Magnus Brunner, and the Managing Board of the Austrian Treasury, Markus Stix and Walter Jöstl, rang the bell for the stock exchange listing.
Finance Minister Magnus Brunner is delighted with the launch of the green bond on the Vienna Stock Exchange: "We are very pleased that the first green federal bond has now become a reality and is listed in the 'Vienna ESG Segment' of the Vienna Stock Exchange. We are convinced that this is the right way to go. The fight against climate change requires major investments. However, the state will not be able to act on its own in this area, private capital is also needed to achieve the goals. The new green bond is one of the instruments to meet this need. Among other things, the bond will help to finance the expansion of public transportation and renewable energy, as well as sustainable agriculture." The Managing Board of the Austrian Treasury, Markus Stix and Walter Jöstl, adds: "The stock exchange listing stands for transparency and is important for investors. The second party opinion of ISS ESG confirms that the proceeds of the federal securities are in line with the sustainability strategy and the Green Bond Framework."
"We welcome the bond issued by the Republic of Austria to the new 'Vienna ESG Segment' of the Vienna Stock Exchange. Austria enjoys an excellent reputation among international investors," congratulates Christoph Boschan, CEO of Wiener Börse, on the successful transaction and is convinced: "Strengthening the capital market makes Austria fit for the future in the long term: citizens increase their prosperity, companies finance innovation and the national economy achieves higher growth rates."
Vienna ESG Segment ensures high transparency standards
The 'Vienna ESG Segment' of the Vienna Stock Exchange, which was launched two weeks ago, creates more transparency in the growing range of ESG-compliant bonds with a new rulebook. An external review (such as a rating or second party opinion) and ongoing disclosures increase the credibility of issuers. Investors benefit from enhanced transparency and visibility of securities. | https://mondovisione.com/media-and-resources/news/vienna-stock-exchange-debut-of-the-green-bond-issued-by-the-republic-of-austria/ | 2022-05-31T08:57:25Z | https://mondovisione.com/media-and-resources/news/vienna-stock-exchange-debut-of-the-green-bond-issued-by-the-republic-of-austria/ | false | 1 |
COVID-19: How Cases in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD Metro Area Compare to Other Major Metros
The U.S. reported over 736,000 new cases of coronavirus over the seven days ending May 24, bringing the total count to more than 82.4 million confirmed cases of COVID-19. There have been more than 994,000 COVID-19-related deaths -- the highest death toll of any country.
New cases continue to rise at a faster rate. In the past week, there were an average of 30.7 daily new coronavirus cases per 100,000 Americans -- an increase from the week prior, when there were an average of 24.6 daily new coronavirus cases per 100,000 people.
While new data shows that the risk of contracting COVID-19 is high in almost every part of the country, cities continue to be the sites of major outbreaks and superspreader events. Experts agree that the virus is more likely to spread in group settings where large numbers of people routinely have close contact with one another, such as colleges, nursing homes, bars, and restaurants. Metropolitan areas with a high degree of connectivity between different neighborhoods and a large population may be particularly at-risk.
In the 50 largest metro areas, the incidence of COVID-19 grew at an average rate of 34.0 new cases a day per 100,000 residents in the past week -- 17.4% greater than the case growth in all counties outside of metro areas.
The Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro area consists of Philadelphia County, Montgomery County, Bucks County, and eight other counties. As of May 24, there were 21,705.2 confirmed cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 Philadelphia residents, 15.0% lower than the national rate. For comparison, the U.S. has so far reported 25,524.4 cases per 100,000 Americans nationwide.
The incidence of coronavirus cases depends on a variety of factors and can vary even between neighboring counties. Within the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington metro area, New Castle County has the highest incidence of COVID-19 cases. As of May 24, there were 27,650.1 cases per 100,000 residents in New Castle County, the most of any county in Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, and far greater than the county with the lowest incidence. In Cecil County, there were 15,710.1 cases per 100,000 residents -- the least of any county in Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington.
In order to slow the spread of COVID-19, city and county governments have ordered the closure of thousands of consumer-facing businesses. These measures have led to widespread job loss and record unemployment. In the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington metro area, unemployment peaked at 15.3% in April 2020. As of November 2021, the metro area’s unemployment rate was 5.6%.
To determine how the incidence of COVID-19 in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro area compares to the rest of the country, 24/7 Wall St. compiled and reviewed data from state and local health departments. We ranked metro areas based on the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents.To estimate the incidence of COVID-19 at the metropolitan level, we aggregated data from the county level using boundary definitions from the U.S. Census Bureau. Population data used to adjust case and death totals came from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 American Community Survey and are five-year estimates. Unemployment data is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and is seasonally adjusted.

SUZHOU, China, May 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Transcenta Holding Limited ("Transcenta") (HKEX: 06628), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company with fully-integrated capabilities in discovery, research, development and manufacturing of antibody-based therapeutics, announces that Nature Cancer, an international authoritative journal in oncology field, publishes the results of preclinical studies of Transcenta's first-in-class Gremlin1 targeting antibody (TST003) in the treatment of castration resistant prostate cancer. This research was conducted in collaboration between Transcenta and the team of Professors Helen He Zhu and Wei-Qiang Gao at Renji Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine. Professor John T. Isaacs, an internationally renowned expert in prostate cancer research, wrote an editorial and commented that neutralizing antibodies against Gremlin1 could be a potential treatment for androgen receptor-negative/low prostate cancer.
In this study, researchers from Transcenta and Shanghai Jiao Tong University investigated the therapeutic potential of anti-Gremlin1 for prostate cancer in an aggressive mouse model of CRPC (Pbsn-Cre4; Ptenfl/fl; Trp53fl/fl GEMM) and patient derived xenograft (PDX), using TST003, a humanized Gremlin1-targeting antibody, and a surrogate antibody generated by Transcenta. The study found that Gremlin1 expression becomes increased with prostate cancer progression from a localized to a metastatic state, as well as from a castration-sensitive to a castration-resistant state. Furthermore, high Gremlin1 expression in prostate cancer tumors is associated with shorter progression-free and overall survival. The study results revealed that Gremlin1 protein can promote lineage plasticity and drive castration resistance in prostate cancer. Gremlin1-specific antibodies can effectively control tumor growth in androgen receptor-negative/low prostate cancer. The study also demonstrated a synergistic activity between the anti-Gremlin1 antibody and enzalutamide against patient-derived castration-resistant prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo. While previous studies indicate that Gremlin1 inhibits BMP signaling pathway, the present work shows that Gremlin1 can activate FGFR1, which phosphorylates the ERK/MEK signal transduction pathway. Anti-Gremlin1 antibody can block Gremlin1's functions and inhibit the activation of FGFR1 and ERK/MEK signaling.
Professor Wei-Qiang Gao, an internationally renowned expert in the field of prostate cancer, Director of Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Med-X Research Institute and Clinical Stem Cell Research Center of Renji Hospital, said: "The research results indicated that Gremlin1 plays a crucial role in prostate cancer tumor cell plasticity and castration-resistance formation, and for the first time, the androgen receptor (AR) was found to negatively regulate Gremlin1 transcriptional expression. With the widespread use of AR inhibitors, an increasing number of patients with prostate cancer are becoming resistant to them. The novelty of the present work is that while previous studies indicate that Gremlin1 inhibits the classical BMP signaling pathway, Gremlin1 can bind to FGFR1 and activate the FGFR1/MAPK signaling pathway as a novel ligand for FGFR1. Anti-Gremlin1 antibody monotherapy alone can potently inhibit the growth of androgen receptor negative castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and a combination of Gremlin1 antibody with AR inhibitors can better control the growth of CRPC with low AR activity. We believe that the results of this study provide a promising therapeutic target for androgen receptor-negative/low CRPC and have important clinical translational significance."
"Transcenta is focused on developing highly innovative therapeutics," said Dr. Xueming Qian, CEO of Transcenta, "TST003, a Gremlin1 targeting antibody, is developed by Transcenta. Preclinical study shows that Gremlin1 plays an important role in the growth of multiple solid tumors, especially in solid tumors insensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to collaborate with Professors Zhu and Gao from Jiao Tong University on the potential use of Gremlin1 targeting antibody for the treatment of castration resistant prostate cancer. The publication of the study results in Nature Cancer speaks for its novelty and clinical translational value. This is also an attempt for developing first-in-class therapeutics through collaborative efforts between industry and university in China. This year, Transcenta will submit IND application of this global first-in-class antibody, and advance it into clinical testing, with the hope to develop a potential novel treatment option to prostate cancer patients with negative/low AR activity worldwide, a population without effective treatment and thus very high unmet medical needs."
About TST003
TST003 is a first-in-class, high affinity humanized monoclonal antibody targeting Gremlin-1, a regulatory protein that is highly expressed by stromal cells in diverse human carcinomas, especially in esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer, among others. TST003 has displayed significant anti-tumor activities both in vitro and in vivo in preclinical studies. TST003 has the potential to become a novel cancer treatment, either as monotherapy or in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor and/or other anti-tumor agents.

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) more than doubled its profit and topline growth in the quarter ended March 2022 following a four-fold revenue boost in the catering business. However, it failed to cheer investors on Dalal Street on Tuesday.
IRCTC shares ended a two-day gaining streak and declined more than 2 percent in early deals. At 1:55 pm, it was trading 0.5 percent lower at Rs 691.20 on BSE.
The downtrend in the IRCTC stock comes amid an overall negative trend in Asian markets. In 2022 (year-to-date), investors have lost 19 percent of their wealth in IRCTC’s stock.
IRCTC’s stellar year-on-year (YoY) business growth is on a low base while quarterly improvement is mild.
While a 4x year-on-year growth in catering revenue remained a key highlight of IRCTC earnings, it must be noted that IRCTC had stopped its catering service in March 2020 owing to the pandemic. It resumed serving fresh meals in 80 percent of its trains only in January this year while ready-to-eat meals were being provided August 2021 onwards. Earlier in February, the PSU resumed serving cooked meals on all trains.
Apart from a 295 percent growth in catering revenue on year, a 38 percent jump in ticketing has led to the total revenue to increase by 104 percent to Rs 690.96 crore, up from Rs 338.78 in the corresponding period a year ago.
IRCTC’s profit after tax (PAT) rose 106 percent to Rs 213.78 crore from Rs 103.78 crore in the same quarter last year.

The PSU’s overall margin, however, shrunk 2.5 percent and stood at 40.3 percent for the quarter under review. Segment-wise, the ticketing margin widened to 91.5 percent from 81.9 percent earlier while the catering margin stood at 9.4 percent against no base in the previous fiscal.
IRCTC’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) jumped 92 percent to Rs 278.53 crore for the quarter under review.
Following the financial results, Vinit Bolinjkar, Head of Research at Ventura Securities, told CNBCTV18.com: “We are already bullish on IRCTC (51.4x FY24 PE) given that increase in ATF prices will lead to rise in air travel prices. IndiGo has raised its ticket prices and others in the pack will follow soon. Thus, railway stocks and travel is expected to benefit.”
According to him, IRCTC is uniquely placed given that it has a monopolistic market with no major competitor and hence any increase in rail travel will lead to an earnings upgrade for the company. | https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/stocks/irctc-share-price-how-indian-railways-makes-money-13667762.htm | 2022-05-31T09:28:27Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/stocks/irctc-share-price-how-indian-railways-makes-money-13667762.htm | false | 2 |
