61 children, most of them newborns, have died in the last 72 hours at the hospital in Gorakhpur, UP where over 70 infant deaths were reported three weeks ago due to oxygen shortage.
On August 27, 28 and 29, 61 deaths were recorded at Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medical College Hospital.
According to Hindustan Times,11 children died in the encephalitis ward, 25 in neonatal intensive care unit and another 25 in the general pediatric ward.
Local doctors said the number of deaths will increase in the coming days due to heavy rainfall, floods and waterlogging which foster the spread of acute encephalitis syndrome (AES).
A doctor at the encephalitis ward said the situation may worsen because of rain and floods. “We get patients from eastern Uttar Pradesh, Nepal and Bihar — states that are reeling under the effects of flood leading to a jump in the number of children coming to the hospital,” he told NDTV.
The hospital, the biggest in Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s home base Gorakhpur, sees hundreds of patients from neighbouring Bihar, other districts of Uttar Pradesh and even Nepal.
Two weeks ago, over 70 children died in the same hospital after the oxygen supply was cut off due to non-payment of dues to the private supply. The incident sparked international outrage and shed focus on local administrative and medical mismanagement.
Over 70 children died two weeks ago due to cut-off of oxygen supply
More than 70 children lost their lives in a tragic incident of medical mismanagement in BRD Medical College Hospital two weeks ago.
The numbers rose in subsequent days. Most deaths were reported from the neonatal and encephalitis wards.
The deaths were reportedly caused due to non-payment of outstanding accumulated dues worth Rs 68 lakh that the hospital owed to Pushpa Sales, the sole supplier of liquid oxygen to the hospital.
The private company wrote to the hospital repeatedly warning that supply of oxygen could be disrupted if dues were not cleared. The same was also publicised by local media outlets days before the deaths began.
College officials said they had forwarded requests regarding the same to the government but received no response (the college has a history of being severely underfunded).
After the state-run hospital failed to repay its dues, the oxygen supplier cut off the supply.
A partial repayment of Rs 22 lakh was done only on Friday, 11 August, one full day after the tragedy began, one full day when 23 children lost their lives.
Documents disclosed by the local administration revealed that the Uttar Pradesh government and its ministers were aware of the catastrophe that took the lives of 70+ innocent children.
The tragedy has ignited outrage across the country and abroad. Nobel Peace laureate Kailash Satyarthi termed the tragedy a “massacre”. It has also evoked a political firestorm over allegations of administrative mismanagement and Gorakhpur being UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s constituency for almost 20 years.

What Causes a Yeast Infection?
Yeast infections result from an overgrowth of yeast in the body. It begins in the intestines, where the candida organism exists normally in small amounts, but it can frequently spread elsewhere in the body, creating what is known as "systemic candidiasis" or "candida syndrome."
When we're healthy, candida yeast is kept in check with a normal balance of intestinal flora--but hormonal changes, high acid levels, stress, and especially long-term antibiotic or steroid use can disrupt that balance and cause an overgrowth, which becomes an infection.
Left unchecked, yeast can change to its fungal form and multiply rapidly, sprouting roots that perforate the gut walls and carry the overgrowth to the rest of the body. This produces what is known as "leaky gut" and allows toxins to enter the bloodstream, overloading the immune system.
Can Children Get Yeast Infections?Yes, children can also suffer from an overgrowth of yeast, with symptoms such as:
- Thrush (whitish coating on tongue or inside cheeks)
- Learning problems
- Chronic cough or nasal congestion
- Recurrent ear problems
- Craving sweets
Yeastrol can safely ease symptoms of kids 12 and over, and is quick and easy to administer...just spray twice under the tongue up to 3 times a day! However, consult your doctor before giving Yeastrol to children under 12.
Can Yeastrol be used safely with other medications?
Absolutely. The Micro-dosed homeopathic medicines in Yeastrol are safe and have no known side effects or contraindications. It can be safely taken with other conventional medicines with no drowsiness or adverse side effects.
Warning: If your symptoms worsen or do not improve in 7 days, or if they persist or return in 2 months, consult your doctor.
Women: If this is the first time you have experienced vaginal itch and discomfort, or if you have abdominal pain, fever or foul smelling discharge, consult your doctor.
A healthy diet can help
Even if you"re taking medication to control a yeast infection, one of your first lines of defense against candida overgrowth is a healthy change in diet to keep from feeding the yeast organisms:

One of the last businesses still closed in Drake Circus has finally announced an opening date - and all customers will have their temperatures checked on arrival.
Bill's Restaurant closed its doors when the Government ordered all pubs and restaurants to shut at the beginning of the pandemic in March this year.
Despite businesses being given the green light to open in July, followed by the Eat Out to Help Out scheme throughout August - which saw many eateries take advantage of the 50 per cent discount - Bill's Restaurant in Plymouth remained closed.
The Bill's website states it is "still joining in" with up to 50 per cent off meals on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The venue has now confirmed the restaurant will reopen on November 5 and customers can make reservations in advance.
You can stay up to date on the top news near you with PlymouthLive's FREE newsletters – find out more about our range of daily and weekly bulletins and sign up here
A statement on the Bill's website reads: "While we’re excited to be reopening, our number one commitment remains the welfare of our community and our team as we take these first steps together.
"In light of the Government’s latest guidance, we are closing all our restaurants from 10pm as required until further notice.
"We’re also implementing extra measures to ensure the safety of our employees and our guests alike. This is our new 'business as usual'."
It adds that there is a new seating arrangement in line with the Government social distancing rules, all tables and chairs are fully cleaned after each use.
All menus and condiments are also cleaned prior to use.
Bill's has said "patience is appreciated" as some queuing is inevitable.
"We'll have someone to greet you as you arrive and look after you while you wait," it reads.
"We kindly ask you to amend your reservation if you are showing any symptoms. Please re-book with us once self-isolation has taken place.
"Your temperature will be checked on arrival. Menus will be disinfected but you can view the menu online with your smartphone.
"Hand sanitisers are available at reception, on your table and in the bathroom. It is the responsibility of guests to ensure they are remaining within their social distancing bubbles at all times."
Bill's has thanked its customers for their support.


The Virginia Stage Company closes its season with the sophisticated "Contact," a play that brings out emotions through dance.
Most musicals require actors who can dance. In "Contact," the dancing takes center stage -- but the performers better know how to act as well.
Created by writer John Weidman and director-choreographer Susan Stroman, "Contact" is a collection of three stories about people making emotional connections with each other. Winner of four Tony Awards, the "dance play" is onstage this month at Virginia Stage Company. The Hampton Roads theater is the first regional theater in the country to present "Contact" after the Broadway, national tour and London productions.
Stroman, an award-winning choreographer, uses dance and little dialogue to kindle the emotions between the various characters. The dance styles range from 18th century court dancing to Russian classical ballet to Broadway jazz.
In the first story, "Swinging," three 18th century figures engage in sexual play on a giant swing. In "Did You Move?" the second work set in an Italian restaurant in the 1950s, a bored wife escapes from her irate husband by imagining herself a classical dancer. "Contact," the last and largest work, looks at an advertising executive who's successful in work but not in love.
"Most performers have to sing, dance and act, but this show forces them to refocus," says director Tome Cousin. "The audience can focus on any particular character at any time, so you have to be a fully developed character onstage all the time."
Timing is crucial as well, he says, and the performers have to drum up their emotions and motivations while counting out the beats of the music. The music in "Contact" ranges from Grieg and Tchaikovsky to Rodgers and Hart, The Beach Boys and the Squirrel Nut Zippers.
When the stage company approached Stroman about staging "Contact," she handpicked Cousin to direct the Norfolk run. He appeared in the original Broadway production and assembled the cast of 16 performers, which includes several who danced in the original Broadway production.
"It's a monster to learn," says Leeanna Smith, who joined the company a year after the show opened on Broadway and is performing in Norfolk. "It's very physical, but I learned that the dance doesn't have to be all flashy dance movement. The more I got into it, I found little bits of character acting."
One of Stroman's trademarks is her ability to tell a story in the style of an old-fashioned Hollywood musical like "Singin' in the Rain," says Cousin. On the Broadway stage, that kind of movement is married with intricate choreography and split-second timing that can fall apart if everything is not executed just so.
"When the show was in New York, so many performers wanted to be in it because they saw the opportunity to stretch themselves," he says. *
WANT TO GO?
What: Virginia Stage Company presents "Contact"
When: Opening tonight through April 23. Performances at 7 p.m. Tuesdays, 8 p.m. Wednesdays-Fridays, 4 and 8 p.m. Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. This Sunday there will also be a 7 p.m. performance.
Where: Wells Theatre, Monticello Avenue and Tazewell Street, Norfolk

The Channel’s Deadliest Migrant Boat Tragedy kills around 30 people.
At least 31 migrants perished on Wednesday when their boat drowned off the northern French coast on their way to England, the biggest accident since the Channel became a hotspot for illegal crossings.
President Emmanuel Macron pledged that France would not allow the Channel to become a “cemetery” and convened an emergency meeting of European ministers to address the problem.
“The core ideals of Europe — humanism, respect for each person’s dignity — are in grief,” Macron added.
The tragedy, which is the largest single loss of life since at least 2018, when migrants began crossing the Channel in large numbers by boat, comes as tensions between London and Paris rise over the huge number of people crossing.
After the boat sank off the coast of Calais, prosecutors launched a manslaughter investigation. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin announced the arrest of four alleged human traffickers suspected of being personally involved in the tragic journey in a long inflatable boat.
Only two survivors had been found, Darmanin informed reporters in Calais, and both of their lives were in jeopardy. Five women and one young girl, he added, were among those killed. The migrants’ nationality was not immediately apparent.
Prime Minister Jean Castex’s office said that a crisis meeting will be held early on Thursday.
After a fisherman raised the alarm, three helicopters and three boats scoured the region, revealing dead and people unconscious in the water, according to French officials.
According to authorities, the dead were among roughly 50 persons on board a ship that sailed from Dunkirk to the east of Calais.
Following a crisis meeting with senior authorities, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated he was “shocked, outraged, and deeply saddened” by the loss of life at sea.
He also claimed Britain had “difficulties persuading some of our allies, particularly the French, to do things in the way that the situation merits,” underscoring the tensions between London and Paris.
Britain has asked France to take stricter measures to prevent migrants from making the journey.
The dispute has exacerbated post-Brexit tensions between Britain and France, which are already strained due to a disagreement over fishing rights.
“Of course, Britain must reply,” Darmanin answered, advocating for “a very harsh coordinated international response.”
The Channel, according to Pierre Roques of the Auberge des Migrants NGO in Calais, risks becoming as dangerous as the Mediterranean, which has seen a significantly higher toll of migrants crossing.
“People are dying in this place.” The Washington Newsday Brief News is a daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C.

SHINNECOCK HILLS G.C
Guest post by Annabel Taylor
Time and time again, the panel of experts of Golf Magazine have ranked Shinnecock Hills among the World’s top golf courses. It has a long and proud history.
Three Americans, Duncan Cryder, Edward Mead and William Vanderbilt were vacationing in France during the winter of 1889, when they witnessed the game of golf. After returning back to the United States, the three made the decision that they would build a golf course in South Hampton, on Long Island, New York. With the help of one hundred and fifty Shinnecock Indians from the nearby reservation, construction of a 12-hole course was ultimately completed in 1891. Subsequently, it was named the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club after the Indians who had helped construct it and it became the very first golf club of its sort in the United States.
In 1893, a ladies-only 9-hole course was designed and constructed at Shinnecock Hills, but it only lasted a short while. It was abandoned to make room for a lengthening and redesign of the White Course by Charles B. MacDonald and Seth Raynor. By 1895 6 more holes were added to the original course by Willie Dunn, bringing the total to 18.
That year, Shinnecock joined four other courses to found the United States Golf Association. The U.S. Amateur and U.S. Open tournaments were held at the course in 1896.
By 1931 the course had undergone major renovations as a result of nearby highway development, and the team of Flynn and Toomey had to complete another redesign to accommodate a road that split the course in two. Today Shinnecock Hills still retains much of the 1931 redesign.
Due to the hilly terrain, and thick native grasses, Shinnecock Hills still presents quite a challenge both from the fairway and off the tee. However, it features elevated tee boxes so players get a clear view of fairway bunkers, hazards and sand areas that must be carried. Despite being difficult, it is a fair course.
Mounds, rough and sand are featured by the par-4, 474-yard 6th hole as a result of which the fairway’s landing area is partially obscured. The Redan-style par-3, 189-yard 7th hole will prove to be helpful for most players since it plays into the overcoming wind. The par-3, 158-yard uphill 11th hole plays downhill, which makes it very tricky.
In the modern era, Shinnecock Hills has hosted three U.S. Open Championships. In 1986, a 43-year old Raymond Floyd won the championship. Corey Pavin secured his victory by there in 1995. Retief Goosen displayed his amazing putting in 2004 by overcoming some of the harshest conditions in the history of the U.S. Open. In 2018, the golf course will once again be host to the U.S. Open.
As one of the finest golf courses of its kind in the United States, golf enthusiasts from all over the globe journey to Shinnecock Hills. It is rated above some of the most prestigious courses in the world — above Bandon and Pacific Dunes, Pebble Beach and Pinehurst. The club is very private and there are tight restrictions on who is allowed to play the course. You must know a member who will sponsor you.
However, there is one day a year when the Shinnecock doors open to the public. A charity event, the Annual Project A.L.S. Golf Classic is held, usually in May, and anyone with the will and the $, can join the tournament. Call the golf course for more information on this event.
During golf season It is wise to contact the golf course in advance if you want to play a round of golf at the club. International golfers may even apply for ESTA applications so that the need to have a visa is waived.

The present study aimed to investigate the in vitro antileishmanial activity of strychnobiflavone flavonoid against Leishmania infantum, as well as its mechanism of action, and evaluate the ex vivo biodistribution profile of the flavonoid in naive BALB/c mice. The antileishmanial activity (IC50 value) of strychnobiflavone against stationary promastigote and amastigote-like stages of the parasites was of 5.4 and 18.9 μM, respectively; with a 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) value of 125.0 μM on murine macrophages, resulting in selectivity index (SI) of 23.2 and 6.6, respectively. Amphotericin B, used as a positive control, presented SI values of 7.6 and 3.3 for promastigote and amastigote-like stages of L. infantum, respectively. The strychnobiflavone was also effective in reducing in significant levels the percentage of infected macrophages, as well as the number of amastigotes per macrophage, after the treatment of infected macrophages using the flavonoid. By using different fluorescent probes, we investigated the bioenergetics metabolism of L. infantum promastigotes and demonstrated that the flavonoid caused the depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential, without affecting the production of reactive oxygen species. In addition, using SYTOX® green as a fluorescent probe, the strychnobiflavone demonstrated no interference in plasma membrane permeability. For the ex vivo biodistribution assays, the flavonoid was labeled with technetium-99m and studied in a mouse model by intraperitoneal route. After a single dose administration, the scintigraphic images demonstrated a highest uptake by the liver and spleen of the animals within 60 min, resulting in low concentrations after 24 h. The present study therefore demonstrated, for the first time, the antileishmanial activity of the strychnobiflavone against L. infantum, and suggests that the mitochondria of the parasites may be the possible target organelle. The preferential distribution of this compound into the liver and spleen of the animals could warrant its employ in the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis.

Between June 5-16, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) reported seven drone attacks and one cruise missile strike on its territory. The United States also confirmed Houthi militants had intercepted an MQ-9 Reaper UAV flying over Yemen. Below is a summary of these reported events.
Houthi militants intercepted a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper UAV flying over Yemen. USCENTCOM assesses the Houthi interceptor as an SA-6 surface-to-air missile. USCENTCOM spokesman Lt. Col. Earl Brown also noted that “The altitude of the engagement indicated an improvement over previous Houthi capability, which we assess was enabled by Iranian assistance.” The Houthis previously shot down a U.S. MQ-9 in October 2017.
Houthi fighters launched two Qasef-2K UAVs targeting the southern Saudi city of Khamis Mushait. KSA reported the successful interception of both drones.

Stories behind the stones shared at cemetery open day
- Credit: MIKE ROUSE
Fascinating stories from Ely Cemetery's 170-year history were shared at a post-lockdown open day.
With 16,000 former residents of the city buried there, The Friends of Ely Cemetery held two guided tours to share the stories behind the stones.
For children, there was a nature trail to explore, while a book sale raised money towards the Friends' projects.
"This outdoor event was a chance to do something a little bit different, catch up on some local history and enjoy one of Ely's 'hidden gems," said group member Alison Arnold.
The open day also gave attendees the chance to look again at some of the work undertaken by the cemetery team.

The new year is almost here, and we can’t wait to see what sort of red carpet fashion it holds.
But before we began gearing up for a fresh batch of award show, movie premiere, and after party outfits, let’s take a beat to remember some of our favorites from the last 365 days. From Rihanna’s show-stopping princess moment at the Grammys, to Lupita and her flower embellished Golden Globes dress, the stars served up enough inspiring style at the big events of 2015 to keep us occupied for a very, very long time.
Or, you know, until Oscars season starts.
Read on for a recap!
Yet, another reason to fall in love with Jennifer Lawrence: The gothic-chic Schiaparelli ensemble she wore to the New York premiere of Mockingjay Part 2. (That, and the fact she probably changed into sweatpants and ate pizza a few hours hours later.)
How to make this dazzling Elie Saab gown even more, well, dazzling? Add a pair of fuchsia sandals, like Taylor Swift did at the Grammys, for head-turning contrast. (Hers, FYI, are by Giuseppe Zanotti.)
That color! Those sparkles! Everything about Emma Stone’s chartreuse Oscars dress (courtesy of Elie Saab) made us want to stand up and slow clap.
Take note of how Emma Roberts opted for a darker color scheme at the amFAR gala—it keeps her floral Alexander McQueen fit-and-flare from feeling too prim. A playful feathered clutch and youthful, barely there sandals drive the point home.
Is it a shirt? Is it a dress? We’re not sure, but we’re into flouncy fit of Kiernan Shipka’s Dior outfit—as seen at the Emmys—regardless. So flattering!
What happens when you combine Giambattista Valli Couture with one of fashion’s most fearless dressers? That would be Lupita Nyong’o hitting the Golden Globes in the sort of dreamy, petal-covered ensemble we imagine fairy tale heroines might wear.
It took a lot for Hailee Seinfeld to stand out when she walked the VMA red carpet with half the (insanely famous) cast of Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video, but this stunning Stella McCartney jumpsuit got the job done.
To ring in the premiere of Empire’s second season, Gabourey Sidibe matched the show’s notorious drama with a shimmering Isabel Toledo for Lane Bryant dress and vintage fur. We think Cookie would be proud.
Emma Watson, reigning queen of the skirt/trousers combo, effortlessly nailed the look yet again with this Dior outfit at the Time 100 gala. In other news: Zara need to make pants with sashes, STAT.
With a slinky Lorena Sarbu dress, pin curls, and deep wine lipstick, Demi Lovato went for a moody take on old Hollywood glamour at this year’s American Music Awards. Talk about having confidence. (Sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves.)
A genius styling tip, straight from Suki Waterhouse: Balance the sweeter, more feminine pieces in your wardrobe with relaxed, slightly undone hair, à la her beautiful Reem Acra-meets-bedhead look at the Insurgent premiere.
When Nina Dobrev arrived at the American Music Awards in this matchy-matchy Zuhair Murad ensemble, we could not help but think that all fancy dresses should come with coordinating outerwear. It would make party preparation much faster, and give us something to wear with jeans the next day—a win-win, no?
While certainly entertained by Miley Cyrus’s parade of crazy VMA getups, we found ourselves far more impressed by the star’s sleek and sexy Alexandre Vauthier slip at the Grammy’s. Not just anyone can get give hip cut outs such a high fashion feel.
The debut of Lily Collins’s side swept crop may have won the lion’s share of attention at the Vanity Fair Oscars after party, but we think her Zuhair Murad gown is definitely worth mentioning, too. Long, glittery, and sheer in all the right places, the style was—much like the lady wearing it—elegant in a refresheningly modern way.
Props to Kristen Stewart for not only showing up at the American Ultra premiere in the coolest Zuhair Murad romper, but giving it such a sophisticated spin. Her trick? Countering all that flash with more ladylike elements, like high heels and a cat-eye.
Although, admittedly, nearly everything Zendaya wore this last year was flawless, the star’s choice for the Academy Awards—a draped, off-the-shoulder design by Vivienne Westwood—stood out the most. An special mention goes to her cascading dreadlocks hairstyle, as the visual contrast it added made the ensemble even more striking.
Dressed in gold Michael Kors Collection jumpsuit, Gigi Hadid could not help but turn heads at the CFDA awards. Fortunately, she’s probably pretty used to it.
The dainty white flowers? The peaches and cream? Deciding just what we love most about Chanel Iman’s Zuhair Murad gown—one of many incredible ones she wore to the Cannes Film Festival—is like choosing a favorite Taylor Swift song: Impossible.
Between the romantic botanical motif, rich silk, and handy pockets (ideal for posing!), it’s easy to see why Chloë Grace Moretz wore this strapless Miu Miu style to the Oscars. Note how she uses a easygoing blow out and full ear cuff to give the sweeter details some edge.
There’s no way of knowing if Giambattista Valli Couture made this full, floaty piece with Rihanna’s Grammy appearance in mind, but we can’t imagine seeing it anywhere else. Hands down, this was the most memorable entrance of the night.

Is J.K. Rowling Working On More Harry Potter?
"The owls are gathering Find out why soon," a Potter-related site playfully teases
With the final screen installment of the Harry Potter saga set to hit theaters next month, fans of the beloved boy wizard have braced themselves for what seems like the end – or is it?
Author J.K. Rowling launched a website, Pottermore.com, and although it seems promising for Potter fans, the purpose of the project is as mysterious as Voldemort’s fate.
“The owls are gathering,” reads a statement on a YouTube page linked from the site. “Find out why soon.”
A Twitter account for the site also blasts the same message, but a rep for Rowling, 45, was mum about what exactly the author is conjuring.
Rowling’s spokesperson told the BBC that the project was not “directly related” to the final film, which arrives in theaters July 15, or a new book. “We are not saying anything more at the moment.”
Potter enthusiasts should know by Thursday what the project entails, according to a countdown in the video. For now, all that’s available on the site, which was revealed to fans through an online scavenger hunt, is a “coming soon” banner bookmarked by owl graphics.

Two types of electronically delivered letter strategies — a letter highlighting potential cardiovascular benefits of influenza vaccination and a repeat reminder letter — increased flu shot uptake compared to usual care alone, in a national study of seniors in Denmark.
And in a prespecified subanalysis focusing on older adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD), these two strategies were also effective in boosting vaccine uptake in those with or without CVD.
The findings are from the Nationwide Utilization of Danish Government Electronic Letter System for Increasing InFLUenza Vaccine Uptake (NUDGE-FLU) trial, which compared usual care alone with one of nine different electronic letter “behavioral nudge” strategies during the 2022-23 flu season in people age 65 years and older.
Niklas Dyrby Johansen, MD, Hospital–Herlev and Gentofte and Copenhagen University, Denmark, presented the main study findings in a late-breaking clinical trial session at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Scientific Session/World Congress of Cardiology (WCC) 2023, and the article was simultaneously published in The Lancet.
The subanalysis in patients with CVD was published online March 5 in Circulation.
“Despite modest effect sizes, the results may have important implications when translated to a population level,” Dyrby Johansen concluded during his presentation. Still, the authors write, “the low-touch (no person-to-person interaction), inexpensive, and highly scalable nature of these electronic letters might have important population-level public health implications.”
They note that among approximately 63 million Medicare beneficiaries in the United States, a 0.89–percentage point absolute increase in vaccination rate achieved through the most successful electronic letter in NUDGE-FLU, the one highlighting cardiovascular gain, would be expected to lead to 500,000 additional vaccinations and potentially prevent 7849 illnesses, 4395 medical visits, 714 hospitalizations, and 66 deaths each year.
Electronic letter systems similar to the one used in this trial are already in place in several European countries, including Sweden, Norway, and Ireland, the researchers note.
In countries such as the United States, where implementing a nationwide government electronic letter system might not be feasible, nudges could be done via email, text message, or other systems, but whether this would be as effective remains to be seen.
Commenting on the findings, David Cho, MD, UCLA Health, and chair of the ACC Health Care Innovation Council, commended the researchers on engaging patients with more than a million separate nudges sent out during one flu season, and randomly assigning participants to 10 different types of nudges, calling it “impressive.”
“I think the concept that the nudge is to plant an idea that leads to an action is pretty much the basis of a lot of these healthcare interventions, which seems like a small way to have a big impact at outcome,” Cho noted. “The behavioral science aspect of the nudges are also fascinating to me personally, and I think to a lot of the cardiologists in the audience, about how you actually get people to act. I think it’s been a lifelong question for people in general, how do you get people to follow through on an action?”
“So I found the fact that secondary gain from a cardiovascular health standpoint, but also the repeated nudges were sort of simple ways that you could have people take ownership and get their flu vaccination,” he said.
“This is ACC, this is a cardiovascular conference, but the influence of vaccine is not just a primary care problem, it is also directly affecting cardiovascular disease,” Cho concluded.
“Small but Important Effect”
In an accompanying editorial, Melissa Stockwell, MD, Columbia University, New York, writes, “The study by Johansen and colleagues highlights the small but still important effect of scalable, digital interventions across an entire at-risk population.”
A difference of 0.89% in the entire study population of over 960,000 adults age 65 years or older would be more than 8500 additional adults protected, she notes. “That increase is important for a scalable intervention that has a low cost per letter.”
Moreover, “that the cardiovascular gain-framed messages worked best in those who had not been vaccinated in the previous season further highlights the potential impact on a more vaccine-hesitant population,” Stockwell notes.
However, with the mandatory government electronic notification system in Denmark, “notifications are sent via regular email and SMS message, and recipients log in through a portal or smartphone app to view the letter.” Similar studies in the United States that included this extra step of needing to sign in online have not been effective in older populations.
Another limitation is that the intervention may have a different effect in populations for which there is a digital divide between people with or without Internet access of sufficient data on their mobile phones.
First-of-Its Kind, Nationwide Pragmatic Trial
The NUDGE-FLU protocol was previously published in the American Heart Journal. NUDGE-FLU is a first-of-its kind nationwide, pragmatic, registry-based cluster-randomized implementation trial of electronically delivered nudges to increase influenza vaccination uptake, the researchers note.
They identified 964,870 individuals who were 65 years or older (or would turn 65 by January 15, 2023) who lived in one of 691,820 households in Denmark.
This excluded individuals who lived in a nursing home or were exempt from the government’s mandatory electronic letter system that is used for official communications.
Households were randomly assigned 9:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1 to receive usual care alone or along with one of nine electronic letter strategies based on different behavioral science approaches to encourage influenza vaccination uptake:
Standard electronic letter
Standard electronic letter sent at randomization and again 14 days later (repeated letter)
Depersonalized letter without the recipient’s name
Gain-framing nudge (“Vaccinations help end pandemics, like COVID-19 and the flu. Protect yourself and your loved ones.”)
Loss-framing nudge (“When too few people get vaccinated, pandemics from diseases like COVID-19 and the flu can spread and place you and your loved ones at risk.”)
Collective-goal nudge (“78% of Danes 65 and above were vaccinated against influenza last year. Help us achieve an even higher goal this year.”)
Active choice or implementation-intention prompt (“We encourage you to record your appointment time here.”)
Cardiovascular gain–framing nudge (“In addition to its protection against influenza infection, influenza vaccination also seems to protect against cardiovascular disease such as heart attacks and heart failure.”)
Expert-authority statement (“I recommend everyone over the age of 65 years to get vaccinated against influenza — Tyra Grove Krause, Executive Vice President, Statens Serum Institut.”)
The electronic letters were sent out September 16, 2022, and the primary endpoint was vaccine receipt on or before January 1, 2023.
All individuals received an informative vaccination encouragement letter from the Danish Health Authority (usual care) delivered via the same electronic letter system during September 17 through September 21, 2022.
The individuals had a mean age of 73.8 years, 51.5% were women, and 27.4% had chronic cardiovascular disease.
The analyses were done in one randomly selected individual per household.
Influenza vaccination rates were significantly higher in the cardiovascular gain–framing nudge group vs usual care (81.00% vs 80.12%; difference, 0.89 percentage points; P < .0001) and in the repeat letter group vs usual care (80.85% vs 80.12%; difference, 0.73 percentage points; P = .0006).
These two strategies also improved vaccination rates across major subgroups.
The cardiovascular gain–framed letter was particularly effective among participants who had not been vaccinated for influenza in the previous season.
The seven other letter strategies did not increase flu shot uptake.
Subanalysis in CVD
In the prespecified subanalysis of the NUDGE-FLU trial of patients age 65 and older that focused on patients with CVD, Daniel Modin, MB, and colleagues report that 83.1% of patients with CVD vs 79.2% of patients without CVD received influenza vaccination within the requested time (P < .0001).
The two nudging strategies — a letter highlighting potential cardiovascular benefits of influenza vaccination or a repeat letter — that were effective in boosting flu shot rates in the main analysis were also effective in all major CVD subgroups (ischemic heart disease, pulmonary heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, cerebrovascular disease, atherosclerotic CVD, embolic or thrombotic disease, and congenital heart disease).
Despite strong guideline endorsement, “influenza vaccination rates remain suboptimal in patients with high -risk cardiovascular disease,” Morin and colleagues write, possibly due to “insufficient knowledge among patients and providers of potential clinical benefits, concerns about vaccine safety, and other forms of vaccine hesitancy.”
Their findings suggest that “select digital behaviorally informed nudges delivered in advance of vaccine availability might be utilized to increase influenza vaccinate uptake in individuals with cardiovascular disease.”
NUDGE-HF was funded by Sanofi. Johansen and Modin have no disclosures. The disclosures of the other authors are listed with the articles. Stockwell has no disclosures.

Global Finance explores the tech future of Payments and branding with Deniz Devrim Cengiz, head of digital banking at Türk Ekonomi Bancasi (TEB), (BNP Paribas Turkey)
Global Finance: What are your tips for designing user interface platforms?
Deniz Devrim Cengiz: First of all, the interface must be consistent with a company’s branding so it resonates with customers. Secondly, the interface must support the user experience without distracting from functionality. Lastly, it’s important to follow new design trends—like flat design and material design—in user interface platforms. The key questions should be: Is the brand’s character reflected through the app? Is the visual language of the app in line with the latest design trends? How fast and seamless is transaction/check out? How easy does the product make it for a user to come back?
GF: What are the main benefits of cardless cash ATM withdrawals to banks and customers?
Devrim Cengiz: Cepteteb [TEB’s mobile banking platform] differs from competitors in that the entire design, development and execution of the platform was meticulously based on customer-first insights. TEB customers cited losing debit cards as a pain point in their banking experience and see carrying these plastic cards as a burden. So TEB leveraged its expertise in mobile technologies to offer cardless cash withdrawals from ATMs via mobile phones. Increased ease of use attracted more customers to ATMs, reducing traffic at the branches and shortening transaction times for customers. CEPTETEB was the first app in the world to implement this feature.
GF: What are your predictions on the uptake of wearable technologies, and how actively should banks be including them as remote channels?
Devrim Cengiz: Financial institutions should consider developing apps for wearables if they want to stay ahead of competitors. Forrester Research found that 21% of adults in Europe are tired of pulling their phones from their pockets; and 32% say they are intrigued by the prospect of a wearable device. Wearables may open up a new communication and marketing channel for banks, creating quicker and easier ways to make payments, check account balances, send alerts for trading updates, reward users with offers based on their location, and inform them of security warnings. In using wearable technologies, banks should aim at creating a more efficient method of interaction and authentication for their current services.
GF: How important is the Host Card Emulation to power banking apps for payments? And do you foresee increased banking HCE implementations?
Devrim Cengiz: Currently, mobile banking apps allow users to perform various types of financial transactions from their mobile devices, but not usually in-store payments, since traditional NFC [near field communications] solutions are very hard to implement and maintain. Host-based Card Emulation will let issuer banks add in-store payment capability to their mobile banking apps. It will be a key component to power mobile banking apps because users will be able to pay at any merchant that has a contactless POS [point-of-service] machine. Since HCE does not require a secure element, issuing banks don’t need to deal with mobile network operators or mobile phone manufacturers. It makes it easier to implement HCE applications than traditional NFC solutions, which require a secure element. We think the number of HCE implementations will grow, thanks to its simplicity and flexibility.

Ms. Holm was a prolific fundraiser the three successful campaigns she ran for City Council and in her unsuccessful race for City Controller in 2009. She was also a tireless door to door campaigner when first elected in 2003, knocking on 19,000 doors in her winning campaign against 6 male opponents. At campaign forums, she would describe the field as "six guys and a winner." Many of those doors are still in HD 136 because of the strong overlap between District G and HD 136.
Other names discussed as interested in the race are: Mike Schofield, a Senior Advisor in Governor Perry's Budget, Planning and Policy Office, and a long-time Republican activist in Harris County; Former Houston CM Bert Keller, who also previously represented District G; Donna Bahorich, District Director for Sen. Dan Patrick; and Amy Peck, fellow blogger and District Assistant to Sen. Dan Patrick.
It will certainly be a crowded field of credible candidates. Holm, in addition to being first out of the gate, is the initial frontrunner.

Im glad they didnt get what they wanted and Wanxiang got 80% of A123's assets. Way to go Wanxiang! JCI gonna feel the heat very soon for being so cheap. I hate a cheap multi-billion dollar company.

What a hilarious idea
Even without colors, one thing that's obvious is that the artist is good at animating emotions as well as actions. And the voice actor is pretty good, too.
Anyways, I think it's a hilarious idea -- just to have somebody belt out some voice acting and have an artist do a cartoon based on it. I wish there was more of that.
if u want to laugh at this movie do it!

We’ve recently finished working with a fabulous client, helping her renovate her home on Napier Hill. Rachael had moved to Hawke’s Bay from Wellington with her two young children and bought a beautiful old character home. It had great bones and stunning views over the hill and out to sea, but the layout wasn’t quite right and the interiors were a bit tired. After working with Citrus Studio Architecture on the plan, Rachael hired local firm Davcon Construction to complete the renovation. It was Davcon director, Julian Davis, who recommended Rachael talk to us about her kitchen design. Jules knew we’d be able to guide her through all the tricky decisions regarding colours, bench tops, cabinet style, handles etc.
The old kitchen was completely removed and this space (above) has now been turned into a media room for games and movie watching. Walls came down and moved to create a much better flow and layout throughout the house, and the kitchen moved over into the old dining room.
After putting the design concept together for Rachael’s kitchen, we worked closely with our joiners, Sydaz, to bring the design to a reality. We’ve developed a great working relationship with the Sydaz team, so it was a really fun project to work on. Both Davcon and Sydaz have exceptional workmanship, it was amazing to watch both teams help bring our design to life.
Our initial idea was to have a beautiful soft sage green on the bottom cabinets, but to achieve this look with the cabinets painted in a two pot polyurethane was a slightly more expensive option. In the end we opted for a more cost-effective thermoform finish in textured limestone, which is essentially a soft white. We then put a beautiful light grey with a hint of green on the walls to bring in some tone while still keeping the space calm, light and airy.
We’re all in love with the bench top we chose. It’s an engineered stone with a textured matt finish. It features a white background with velvety grey swirls and smaller specks of dark grey. Dael took Rachael out to the Archant warehouse in Hastings where they could view the actual slab of stone. This enables our clients a much better idea of how their bench will look, although we always start by showing them a small sample square. Carrying the stone up the wall as an up-stand was the finishing touch - we love it.
You can see from the progress shot (below) that we put a pull-out pantry and integrated fridge along the wall to the right of the main kitchen. There was nothing we can do with that wall in-between, as behind that is the powder room. Positioning the kitchen island long ways helped to connect everything…
But what really succeeded to connect and ‘zone’ the kitchen area was the wall panelling we asked Davcon to create. It absolutely worked with the style of the home, and wrapping it along the wall between the two pantries, and over on the opposite wall, clearly marked the kitchen area from the adjoining dining area.
The media room, where the old kitchen used to be, is off the kitchen, and we love the sneaky peek of the deep blue walls against the soft grey/green walls in front.
The entrance, kitchen and dining room have had new flooring put down. Rachael came home from Hutchinsons with a selection she had chosen and we helped her narrow it down to these boards, which look fantastic. These were the sorts of questions we helped Rachael tackle throughout the reno, another was which way to lay the boards. We would usually recommend running the wood from the front door straight to the back of the house, but the front door sits at the side of the house (to the left of the dining room entrance above). So, although the boards run across the entrance, they then lead your eye down to the beautiful big doors and view at the back of the house.
Rachael already had her dining table, chairs and rug. We sourced the pendant lighting for the kitchen and dining room, helped with art placement, and the colour to paint the fireplace. We sourced the kitchen handles from Archant and the chopping board, bowls and jugs are all ours.
The narrow double doors in the living room (above) were removed and an opening was made on the other side of the fireplace for easier access from the front door and kitchen through to the rest of the house. Large sliding doors were put in (below) to take advantage of the view and the light.
With new carpet and freshly painted walls, Rachael just asked us to help her choose a new sofa, coffee table, side table, and pendant light. We had this sofa custom made for her by one of our NZ furniture manufacturers. They’re made in New Zealand, and the quality and workmanship is superb, so it will last her a long, long time. To keep the cost down slightly, we chose a hardwearing but more cost-effective fabric in a gorgeous deep teal. The large coffee table is the perfect scale for the sofa, and the double layer is handy - you can pop baskets for storage on the bottom layer, or spare cushions. We also had new curtains made in a beautiful soft grey linen blend.
Rachael’s bedroom has these lovely character features, but we helped give it a mini makeover with a new wall colour, new curtains, and a new window seat squab.
The wall colour almost glows it’s so warm and gorgeous. It’s a dusty umber and ashen red toned neutral. OK, it’s pink, but it’s such a sophisticated colour that feels serene and restful in the master bedroom. The linen hydrangea cushions (below) we had custom made - all available to purchase from us.
Directly opposite the master bedroom is the tiny powder room. With no natural light this space would’ve looked flat if we painted it white, so we chose another soft, pretty colour.
The family bathroom was created from scratch in the old entrance area. A large space, we created wall-to-wall storage down one end to house the laundry as well as an extra cupboard for the mop, broom etc. I say “we created it”, but clearly Davcon did all the hard work…
The children’s bedrooms also only required mini makeovers. In Rachael’s son’s room it was choosing a colour that he would love, and also one that would grow with him into his teens. Also a cool new window squab so he could enjoy his epic view - lucky kid - and new bedding!
In Rachael’s daughter’s room we opted for a warm, happy colour scheme to add a bit of fun and interest. We kept the colour to the bottom half of the walls, and mixed it up with some different coloured bedding.
And here she is… Rachael was one of our most favourite clients and a joy to work with. We were so impressed with the way she managed a massive renovation with two young children, whilst holding down a very important, full-time job. No matter how smoothly everything goes, renovations are often still stressful, just because of the disruption they cause to your life. But this one was well worth it! The other reason we love Rachael is that she listened to us, trusted us, and followed through with everything we suggested. This is always the best outcome, so thanks Rach, and thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful home. x


Jadon Sancho decided he wanted to join Manchester United after they secured a top four spot and Champions League football for next season. The Red Devils beat Leicester on the final day of the Premier League season.
The victory meant Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men finished third in the Premier League – and secured a spot in next season’s Champions League.
United’s transfer funds will be boosted by being in the competition alongside Europe’s elite clubs.
The Red Devils will use the funds to go towards a move for Borussia Dortmund winger Sancho, 20.
The England international dominated in the Germany last time out, netting 20 goals and chipping in with 18 assists in all competitions.

United and Dortmund are are locked in talks over a transfer fee for the former Manchester City ace.
However, it’s understood the clubs are miles apart in their valuation of Sancho, with United threatening to pull out of the deal.
Sancho is keen to return to the Premier League now the transfer window is open.
And according to the Athletic’s David Ornstein, Sancho decided he wanted to head to Old Trafford after they secured Champions League football for next season.

He said: “This deal is moving forward. The club are not in formal talks yet but that isn’t uncommon in these situations.
“There are intermediaries who would broker this deal before the clubs come to the table and thrash it out themselves.
“Clearly Borussia Dortmund want to get this sorted so they can crack on with their pre-season preparations.
“United won’t be bullied into rushing it. If they’re going to pay the money Dortmund want, which is £108m (€120m), they will get there.
“Of course all of these deals are done in instalments.
“Since United qualified for the Champions League, the move became more attractive to Sancho. He wants to play for a Champions League club.
“It could develop this week, there is still a lot to sort out but things are moving in the right direction.”

Mixing the best retro-futuristic architectural elements of the best sci-fi movie classics & games we end up with this upcoming NaisanceE game whose details are still quite vague although its French creator Mavros Sedeño yesterday posted a few details on IndieDB suggesting a 2013 potential release date.
NaissanceE is an adventure taking place in a primitive mysterious structure. The game mainly consists to explore and feel the deep and strong ambiance of this atemporal world but platforming and puzzles areas will also enrich the experience.
The game continues where his 2007 mod “Naissance Jeux d’ombre” left, with a first person adventure style conceived as a visual and sensory experience in an imaginary universe and presented like a metaphor of birth. Built on the FarCry engine, Mavros’ inspirations (Fritz Lang, Frank Miller… even Jim Henson) may seem obvious but the final result looks psychedelically rich. The 2007 mod can be downloaded here, and hopefully NaissanceE will be available soon…share news item

How to cultivate Lilium
The Lily (Lilium L., 1753) is a genus of plants belonging to the Liliaceae family, which includes about 80 species and numerous hybrids and cultivars.
It is a native species of an area that includes Europe, Asia and North America; includes plants with a height from 80 cm to 2 m, with an imbricate scale bulb, arranged around a central disk, from which the roots originate inferiorly, and above the stem. The scales differ according to the species and are more or less broad, sharp and tight between them.
The lilies have roots that originate from the bulbs, of perennial type that are not renewed every year as usually happens in bulbous plants. The lilies of oriental origin differ from this characteristic and, at the vegetative restart, form a stage of adventitious roots on the stem above the bulb at ground level.
These plants have generally lanceolate leaves, more or less narrow with parallel veins; these are arranged around an erect stem, sometimes in boxes, usually in random order.
The flowers consist of six tepals (three petals and three petaloid sepals), terminal, which are often gathered in numerous inflorescences carried by long stems; these flowers are characterized by very different shapes and colors, and often very fragrant.
In this card we will see how to grow Lilium, following the most suitable agronomic techniques.
For the cultivation of Lilium it is advisable to choose half-shade exposures or, in any case, not very sunny.
For the choice of the soil, or of the substrate for pot cultivation, consider that they are plants that need well-drained soils, kept fresh in the summer, well drained and permeable and rich, especially in the superficial part of well decomposed organic substances as mature manure or earthworm humus.
Only a few European species, such as L. candidum or exotic species such as L. henryi that can grow even on calcareous soils, differ in their soil needs.
For irrigations, bear in mind that these should be started immediately after planting the bulbs or seeds, following the progress of the soil moisture and then dosing the watering so as not to create an excess of moisture.
As for the multiplication, this generally occurs by division of the bulbs, sowing or with the cloves which, in some species, appear on the stem.
As for the seeds, however, these always germinate easily and this aspect also depends on the species. In cases where the species germinates easily by seed the germination of new seedlings is obtained on average after a month.
In some species such as L. auratum, L. canadense, L. japonicum, L. superbum, there is first an underground germination of the seeds; for the first year the cotyledons do not come out of the ground, a small bulb is formed from which the first leaves will originate in the second year after sowing.
Other species behave in a variable manner depending on various climatic and soil characteristics.
The optimal time for sowing is the autumn one, leaving the late sowing species (such as L. philippinense var. Formosanum) sown between February and March and protecting the soil with a good vegetable mulch to repair the plant from late frosts.
In any case, the small bulbs that are obtained from seed must be transplanted from the second year from sowing to the beginning of the vegetative growth at the end of winter.
These bulbs do not give rise to flowering bulbs but can be used to multiply some species such as: L. henryi, L. speciosum, L. longiflorum and L. umbellatum.
Multiplication is therefore used by separating the flakes of the bulb, or by layering the stems.
This technique requires the separate flakes to be layered in sand in a humid environment and with temperatures between 18 and 25 ° C; in general from 1 scale to 4 bulbs are obtained from each scale depending on the species.
The layering of the stems takes place by tearing the stems from the bulb at the time of flowering, and placing them inclined in a hole that will be covered up to half, or depriving them of leaves under a quay in the greenhouse; after about a month, numerous small bulbs will form.
Some species such as: L. tigrinum, L. croceum var. bulbiferum, L. sulphureum and L. sargentiae produce aerial cloves that form at the axil of the leaves; these sown seeds will give rise to excellent flower bulbs in a variable period between 2 and 3 years.
For Lilium grown in pots, these should be repotted when the roots come out of the water drainage holes. The soil must be returned and fertilized and the bulbs replanted for a maximum of 3 per pot.
As for diseases and parasites, the Liliums fear the attack of black aphids or lice and some diseases caused by parasitic fungi.
For this reason excessively organic fertilizers must be avoided and, even more, the use of nitric nitrogen in periodic fertilizations.

I’m not really too fussed either way about Hallowe’en, but it seems to have been getting pushed quite a lot this year in Edinburgh.
So, if you’re in the mood for something spooky and disturbing for Hallowe’en (in a good way) then i would like to present the video for Gary Numan’s latest single ‘The Fall.’
Sure he may still be best known for ‘Cars’ and ‘Are ‘Friends’ Electric?’ but there’s a lot of people who realise that he is a genius. Watching the video, it’s clear that Trent Reznor, Marilyn Manson and a lot of folk have clearly been paying attention over the years. And Kanye West and Prince have also spoken of their admiration, suggesting that it’s not just the goth/industrial crowd who see what he has achieved. Not to mention his contribution to Battles’ sophomore album Gloss Drop, earlier this year on the single ‘My Machine.’
This track is taken from Numan’s latest album Dead Son Rising, which was released last week.
He is on tour this December:
7 Leamington Spa Assembly Hall
8 Manchester Ritz
9 Southampton Guildhall
10 All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival with Battles
11 Hatfield University SU – The Forum

EDINBURGH prop Pierre Schoeman has been banned for four weeks by a disciplinary panel after being red-carded towards the end of Saturday evening’s Guinness PRO14 defeat to Leinster for leading into a tackle with his forearm and in the process striking Daniel Leavy on the head.
The sanction means that the South African will miss Edinburgh’s next two PRO14 matches against Benetton and the Cheetahs, both at Murrayfield, as well as their opening two rounds of this year’s Champions Cup campaign against Montpellier away and Toulon at home.
The red card was shown unde rLaw 9.12, which states that: “A player must not physically or verbally abuse anyone. Physical abuse includes, but is not limited to, biting, punching, contact with the eye or eye area, striking with any part of the arm (including stiff-arm tackles), shoulder, head or knee(s), stamping, trampling, tripping or kicking.”
Schoeman faced the disciplinary panel, which convened in Neath (Wales), via a video conference. The panel, comprising of Simon Thomas (Chair), Roger Morris and Nigel Williams (all Wales), concluded that there was an act of foul play of striking the head with the forearm which carries a mid-range entry point (six weeks).
A ban of six weeks was reduced due to mitigating circumstances, the player’s acceptance of the red card and behaviour throughout the hearing. As a result, the Schoeman has be banned up until midnight on Sunday, October 21. The player was reminded of his right to appeal.
