National Plan to End Parkinson’s signed into law by President Biden | WAMC – (Me: Why Parkinson’s exerts were visiting White House? To get new legislation passed!)

President Biden signed legislation this week aimed at preventing and finding a cure for Parkinson’s Disease.

Championed by New York Congressman Paul Tonko, the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act will provide more federal funding for Parkinson’s research to prevent and cure the disease.

The Democrat from the 20th District says more than a million Americans live with the disease that affects the nervous system.

“It’s a really good collaborative that we have seen working really well with the Alzheimer plan. I really mimicked that effort on behalf of Parkinson’s,” Tonko said.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Biden: ‘I support him’

Rebecca Kaplan and Zoë Richards

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said that she spoke with Biden over the weekend and that she supports his continuing his re-election bid.

“He made clear then, and he has made clear since, that he is in this race,” Ocasio-Cortez told NBC News.

“The matter is closed. Joe Biden is our nominee. He is not leaving this race. He is in this race, and I support him. Now what I think is critically important right now, is that we focus on what it takes to win in November.”

Weight loss drug Zepbound outperforms Ozempic in new published study – UPI.com

Studied were how much weight the patients lost after three, six and 12 months.

Those taking semaglutide lost on average, 3.6% of their body weight after 3 months; 5.8% after 6 months; and 8.3% after 12 months.

Tirzepatide users lost a greater percentage of body weight each month: an average of 5.9% of their body weight after 3 months; 10.1% after 6 months; and 15.3% after 12 months.

“The majority of patients on both medications experienced clinically meaningful weight loss, but those patients that took tirzepatide experienced significantly more,” Rodriguez said.

Beryl in Jamaica, the colour of the sea · Global Voices

Feature image created using Canva Pro elements.

The following article was originally published by Global Voices contributor Emma Lewis on Substack. An edited version is republished here with permission.

A Beryl is a rather lovely translucent mineral, sometimes green, sometimes blue, sometimes gold or pink.

Beryl is an old-fashioned English girl’s name, after the gemstone mentioned above. The name’s origin is apparently from the Greek word “beryllos,” which means “colour of the sea.” All rather beautiful.

Beryl is also the name of the second storm in the 2024 hurricane season.

The waiting for a hurricane is always difficult. (Please see my friend Diana McCaulay’s perfect description, and her thoughts on where all this hell is coming from, here.) Husband and I were so weighed down with COVID (acquired during our travels, apparently) and so utterly exhausted that this period was a bit of a blur.

The Waiting For A Hurricane Time is usually a day or two of acute awareness, doubts and uncertainty, peering at hurricane maps and “cones” of the storm’s expected track produced by the National Hurricane Center in Florida; government officials speaking about preparedness, lists of shelters and emergency numbers — our Prime Minister Andrew Holness in his stern “Dunkirk voice” when it became evident that Beryl was going to hit us one way or the other — and debating whether to venture out into the frenzy of pre-storm grocery shopping that takes place in the relatively well-off areas of town. I hear there were fights over loaves of bread, as soon as they appeared on the shelves.

During Beryl, we were grateful for hurricane straps on our roof. The dogs huddled on the verandah. The trees in our yard tossed and strained in the wind, but lost no branches, just a few untidy twigs and leaves. Our last Bombay mangoes tumbled down from the top of the tree and were well received. We were thankful not to lose power or water, although we expected to…

Y los barnices de la superficialidad entretienen a los tontos – Santiago Galicia Rojon Serrallonga

Lo bello, lo magistral y lo sublime, en el arte, están dedicados a aquellos seres humanos que saben apreciar y valorar la capacidad, la entrega, el talento, la inspiración y la sensibilidad de la gente extraordinaria e irrepetible que aporta y enriquece la cultura y el conocimiento en el mundo, encomienda que requiere toda la vida. En contraparte, los barnices, las ocurrencias, las poses y las superficialidades solo son eso, basura y cáscaras que divierten y entretienen a los tontos.

Watercolors of Ravens – Frits Ahlefeldt: Nomad & Walking philosopher

Two watercolors of Ravens (Corvus corax – Ravn)

Raven sketches

Text and watercolor by Frits Ahlefeldt

Known to be one of the cleverest birds around, the Common raven is also known from mythology, not least as the two birds of Odin, in the Norse mythology

The two ravens: Hugin (means thought) and Mygin (means memory) were flying all over the world to return to the God Odin, land on his shoulders and tell him all about what happened in the world (Midgard). Maybe like two very early reporters…
