A video shows the capsule activating its emergency engines and ejecting from the main launcher at full speed about a minute after launch, then, accompanied by parachutes, making a hard landing. The video doesn’t show what became of the launcher, the company writes that he “fell to the ground” while having to gently stand upright again if successful.

The unmanned capsule carried only research equipment for this mission, titled “New Shepard 23”. The American Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced that it has blocked any further launch of this missile while the investigation is ongoing.

Hard hit

It was the 23rd mission for the company, the first to end in failure. It’s a blow to the space tourism company run by Amazon’s founder. Jeff Bezos himself took part in New Shepard’s first manned flight in July 2021. Since then, the machine has transported around thirty people, including the actor who plays the emblematic Captain Kirk of the Star Trek series, William Shatner.

Charles III and the “sausage fingers”. After hours of unsuccessful attempts to understand the causes of Elizabeth’s death, it is now the focus of British tabloids red and swollen hands of the new king. At least nothing new. But given the overall health trend at the Windsor home, there’s something to think about. Meanwhile the real fingers, which are very reminiscent of those of Boss Hogg from Hazzard, have been immortalized in various official photographs for at least fifteen years. There is one person in particular who, in these hours, Chron has an almost life-size inscription on the front page, dated 2012. Charles III in a light gray suit holds his holy hands in the middle of the upper body together with the ring in the left little finger, which almost cracks under the pressure of the finger swelling. Obviously, the uniqueness of this health condition has set off several alarm bells. That DailyStar he asked dr. Gareth Nye which immediately condemns two possible causes. The first it is edema: “A condition where the body begins to retain fluids in the limbs, usually the legs and ankles, but also in the fingers, causing them to swell,” Nye explained. “To verify that this is the true cause would suffice the king Press the swollen area for about 15 seconds and assess any sagging of the area“. Among other things, the disorder is much more common in women than in men, especially the elderly, and even more so if they often remain seated. Those who follow the royal chronicles recall instead that Charles III many times with swollen hands and feet, especially after long stays while fleeing or traveling in hot countries. Besides edema, there is another possible cause of sausage fingers. It is osteoarthritis.”Another common condition in the over sixties. It often affects three main areas of the hand: the thumb joint or both finger joints,” Nye continues. “The fingers usually become stiff, sore, and swollen, and although medication can reduce pain, the swelling can persist.” Other possible causes (although this swelling has been recurring for over a decade so is not of a temporary nature): a diet that is too high in salt or certain medications used to control high blood pressure. Swollen fingers yes but still able to move and bend without major problems. Also see the gesture of anger on the real desk live in the world when the sausage fingers nasty chased away the equally real inkwell.

Bangladesh’s prime minister has verbally attacked Rohingya refugees in her country and spoken out against a longer stay. Such a threat to the country’s security, economy and stability, said Sheikh Hasina today.

Add to that the misery of more than a million refugees from neighboring Myanmar, the politician in the capital, Dhaka, said, according to The Daily Star. The refugees have been living in the overcrowded and largest refugee camp in the world for five years. Many of them have neither jobs nor prospects.

Five years ago, the predominantly Buddhist military in Myanmar launched an offensive against the Rohingya Muslim minority in Rakhine. Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya fled. The United Nations describes their persecution as genocide. Bangladesh hopes they will return to Myanmar again.

So far, several repatriation attempts have failed because of refugee security concerns. The Rohingya lost their citizenship under a law passed by Myanmar’s military junta in 1983. Many refugees do not believe their situation will improve without citizenship.

Cannabis users who have been hospitalized for Covid19 are less likely to have serious health consequences than patients who do not use marijuana, suggests a new study recently published in the Journal of Cannabis Research.

The study aimed to assess how regular cannabis use affects the health outcomes of hospitalization related to Covid19. Researchers collected data from 1,831 patients admitted to two hospitals in the Los Angeles area of ​​the United States with severe Covid19 infections. Of this group, 69 patients reported actively using cannabis before becoming ill.

Overall, patients who used marijuana had fewer serious complications and better health outcomes than patients who didn’t. Cannabis users scored lower on the standard NIH Covid severity scale, were less likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit, and were less likely to require mechanical ventilation or supplemental oxygen than nonusers. Active marijuana users also reported lower overall inflammation scores than other patients.

The study reported that 59% of nonusers received systemic steroids during hospitalization, but only 39% of cannabis users required such treatment. Likewise, 67% of nonusers required antibiotics versus 49% of marijuana users. Those who used cannabis also spent an average of just 4 days in hospital, while the rest of the patients stayed in hospital for an average of 6 days. Although cannabis users received fewer adjunctive therapies than nonusers, overall health outcomes were still much better.

“This retrospective cohort study suggests that active cannabis users hospitalized with Covid19 had better clinical outcomes compared to nonusers, including a reduced need for intensive care unit admission or mechanical ventilation,” the study concluded.

However, the researchers cautioned that their “results must be interpreted with caution given the limitations of a retrospective analysis.”

The current study can’t explain exactly why cannabis users are less likely to experience severe complications from Covid19, but previous research could provide a clue. Several recent studies from Canada and Israel suggest that THC, CBD, and even lesserknown cannabinoids like CBG could stop coronavirus cells from multiplying or even help keep people from getting sick.

Cannabis has known antiinflammatory properties and most patients suffering from severe complications of Covid19 show extremely elevated inflammatory markers. Doctors have attempted to combat uncontrolled inflammation with drugs that reduce patients’ immune symptoms, but the current study suggests that natural cannabis may have a similar effect.

Previous studies have also found that cannabis users tend to be healthier, fitter, happier, and less obese than nonusers. Doctors have reported that patients who are obese or in poor health are more likely to die or experience extreme health complications from Covid19, so it’s possible that the superior health of marijuana users better protects them from serious health problems.

(Chibougamau) Québec solidaire is not against an increase in logging in Quebec related to the fight against climate change, but proposes to ensure that logging in Quebec is first used for here.

“The first step is to better evaluate and make better use of what we have already cut. If we need to cut more, we are not closed to it, but it must be done with respect for the ecosystems and the different communities that populate the territory of Quebec,” said Quebec Solidaire Parliamentary Chair Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois. after a visit to the Chantiers Chibougamau factory.

The state-of-the-art company manufactures wood-based materials that can replace steel and concrete in large buildings. The Left Party wants to promote exactly such deals with its Climate Plan 2030.

“Chantier Chibougamau is a very good example of the kind of economic development that has a future in Quebec. With the ecological transition, sectors of the economy will be weakened, but there are also sectors that will thrive. This business is part of a sector poised for growth,” noted Mr. Nadeau-Dubois. His plan calls for an increase in timber construction to replace declining steel and concrete.

need wood

But Chantier Chibougamau needs hands – Québec solidaire wants to promote the regionalization of immigration and is responding to this demand – and wood, lots of wood. Demand for the products of the market leader for glued laminated timber is exploding almost everywhere.

Here it is a bit more complicated for Québec solidaire. The party wants to protect 30% of Quebec’s territory by 2030, particularly in southern Quebec, where governments tend to turn a blind eye to harming the forest industry.

Mr Nadeau-Dubois promises a “new forestry model” and money for innovative companies, but we’ll have to wait until later in the campaign for the details. He proposes “reshaping our forest industry to use as much wood as possible in Quebec.”

“Before we say we will be logging more, the first step is to say how we are using more wood in Quebec than we are already logging. At the moment there is a part of the forest industry that is still geared towards foreign markets and exports,” stressed Mr. Nadeau-Dubois.

Replace steel and cement

However, he could not say whether the current timber harvest in the province is sufficient to fuel his “Vision 2030”, in which large wooden structures will be commonplace. However, his plan calls for cement and steel production to fall by 8% by the end of the decade, to be replaced by wood, which sequesters carbon.

But ideologically he is not closed to further cuts. “The first step is to cut better and make better use of what we’ve already cut. It is important. I’m not going to give you a hypothetical number. What I am telling you is that there is no principled opposition to Québec solidaire. Importantly, this happens in relation to Quebec’s climate commitments and in relation to the ecosystems and communities that populate the area,” he said.

Chilean Senate President Álvaro Elizalde speaks during a session of the National Congress in Santiago September 12, 2022. Secretariat General of the Chilean Presidency (RR.SS.)

Still freshly hungover from the loud rejection of the constitutional proposal in Chile, the leaders of the political parties – with the exception of the extreme right-wing Republican Party – agreed on five basic points for the new constitutional process this Monday: Draft a new constitution, to be signed by one to 100 % of the body elected by the citizens, it is written that this group has equal rights and will be advised by a panel of experts and that the final result will be subject to a binding referendum with compulsory voting. The seats reserved for indigenous peoples – and their share – and the participation of independent legislators in the new convention will be defined later.

Although 62% of citizens rejected the 4 September Convention’s proposal, there is a cross-sectoral consensus that the current constitution is not legitimate, as 78% voted to amend it in October 2020. After the failed approval in the polls, President Gabriel Boric instructed Parliament to negotiate the continuity of the process. The transfer of responsibility will allow the executive branch to focus solely on meeting citizens’ most urgent demands. In any case, the newly appointed secretary general of the presidency, the socialist Ana Lya Uriarte, will accompany the congress process from the executive branch.

After the second meeting to define the constituent roadmap between the leaders of the entire political arc with parliamentary representation, the President of the Senate, Socialist Álvaro Elizalde, announced that “the commitment has been agreed, parity for the exit vote and a role for a commission of experts. This first step rules out a referendum that will again ask citizens if they want a new constitution and what kind of body they want to draft, an idea originated by right-wing militants but scrapped by heads of parliament.The deal also guarantees that the body writing the proposal is advised by a committee of experts, which was not the case in the first attempt.

The idea of ​​a mixed commission made up of non-political citizens and parliamentarians was also ruled out. The President of the Chamber of Deputies, Raúl Soto, of the Party for Democracy (PPD), has defended the idea of ​​a 100% elected body with the aim of drafting a new text to “validate and legitimize the popular mandate of the party people of Chile , which was delivered at the accession vote”. On this occasion, in October 2020, 79% of voters opted for a convention composed of 155 citizens and treating men and women equally. Only 21% opted for the mixed Congress, i.e. with members of the Congress, which would have consisted of 172 members.

Whether and how many places will be reserved for indigenous people is still pending. Depending on political will, they are likely to exist, but in fewer numbers than at the first convention, when they held 17 of the 155 seats. The idea of ​​the center and right is that their participation in the new convention is proportional to their effective vote. It also remains to be defined whether the participation of independent lists will be permitted. The operation and design of this new stage will be discussed from Thursday at a negotiating table formed and constituted with a representative of each political party with parliamentary representation.

Every September 13th, Mexico commemorates one of the most painful losses associated with the war with the United States, but one that continues to leave a lesson of honor and love for the country: the sacrifice of the Six Children’s Heroes of Chapultepec during the invasion of the Mexican capital that day in 1847.

This commemoration joins other important events in the history of Mexico that take place in September, such as the anniversary of the independence cry proclaimed by Miguel Hidalgo in Dolores. Given the proximity of national holidaysthe Mexican flag is already flying in several homes and public spaces are filled with decorations.

Children’s Heroes: What Happened at Chapultepec Castle on September 13th?

The then President of the United States, James Polk, declared war on Mexico on May 13, 1846 with the ultimate goal of conquering the territories of New Mexico, Alta California and others in northern Aztec country. The actions intensified after the arrival of the general’s troops in Veracruz winfield-scott 1847, who left for the capital.

The Mexican troops, assembled in Mexico City to stem the advance of American troops, were defeated at Churubusco, San Ángel, Padierna and Molino del Rey. In this scenario, Chapultepec Hill was his last bastion.

In the early morning hours of September 12, the Americans bombed the forest and the castle of Chapultepec, where the facilities of the military school. The next day, in the face of Mexican resistance, a contingent of 7,000 soldiers attacked the fort.

The battle of Chapultepec resulted in 300 dead on the Mexican side, including Lieutenant Colonel Felipe Santiago. The last line of defense remaining in the castle consisted of six young people between the ages of 12 and 19, hence the name “The Children’s Heroes”.

They were cadets Agustín Melgar, Francisco Márquez, Fernando Montes de Oca, Vicente Suárez and Juan Escutia, and Lieutenant Juan de la Barrera. They all died in battle defending the castle.

Historian JD Einsenhower told UNAM in an interview that “General Bravo surrendered his jeweled sword, but he could not get six of his young cadets to surrender, who preferred to die. One of those boys, holding the Mexican flag, lost his life by throwing himself off the wall.” Tradition links this last young man to Juan Escutia.

The war with the United States ended on February 2, 1848 with the signing of the Guadalupe-Hidalgo Treaty, which ceded the disputed territories to the northern country. The example of the “Children Heroes” was and is gratefully remembered to this day.

It was President Benito Juárez who declared September 13 a day of mourning in Mexico in honor of the victims of the fallen and in particular of these six young men whose bones were buried on November 27, 1952 at the Altar of the Fatherland. . .

How is the flag raised on September 13?

As it is a day of national mourning for the “heroes of children,” the Mexican flag is flown at half-mast on September 13, as specified in Article 18, Section II of the National Coat of Arms, Flag and Anthem Law.
