jollibee 7th birthday Some MPs who backed the assisted dying Bill have indicated they could consider changing their mind along the process amid concerns over palliative care provision and safeguarding. MPs will be able to suggest amendments to the legislation when it moves into its next parliamentary step, the committee stage, at a date which is yet to be announced. On Friday, MPs voted 330 to 275, majority 55, to approve Labour MP Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at second reading. Following the historic vote, some MPs have voiced concerns over parts of the Bill that could prevent them opting in its favour at later stages of the process. Liberal Democrat MP Layla Moran told the BBC on Saturday that whilst she voted for it, concerns surrounding existing palliative care provision in the UK remained. “I think all of us want this to be a good Bill,” she said. “I would hope that colleagues across the House, especially those who voted for it, reserve the right to vote no at further stages.” She said that arguments against the plans need to be taken “extraordinarily seriously”. Ms Moran said that “the one that I am particularly interested in is palliative care”, and added: “I don’t think we need any further votes in the House to be clear that Parliament’s will is that Government wants them to sort out palliative care.” Senior Conservative MP Sir David Davis – another backer of the Bill – used his Commons speech to ask the Government for more time to scrutinise it, to “give us the time to get this right”. He told the Commons: “I want this Bill to succeed, it’s more important than most bills we have. It can’t be dealt with in five hours and a few hours in committee. “I’m going to vote for it today, but I want the Government to help me be able to vote for a good Bill at the end of this.” Labour MP Chris Webb suggested that his position on the matter may change as the plans move through the process, saying in a statement that he believes “this Bill deserved to progress to the next stage for further robust scrutiny and debate” and he “will consider my position again in the ensuing stages”. There were three Conservative MPs and 18 Labour MPs for whom no vote was recorded on Friday. SNP MPs did not vote as the matter only applied to England and Wales. There are numerous reasons that an MP may not be able to take part in a vote – such as being abroad or away from Parliament – however, a number have indicated that they intentionally abstained. Josh Fenton-Glynn, the new Labour MP for Calder Valley, said that he had abstained because “as it stands, I don’t think the safeguards are strong enough”. Despite having previously thought that he would “support a Bill like this” he said in a statement on social media he would make his “final decision based on the Bill as it’s written that comes out of the committee stage”. End-of-life care charity Marie Curie had also raised concerns about palliative care and has called for MPs to enshrine a commitment for developing a strategy on the matter into the legislation. They said in a briefing sent to parliamentarians before the second reading that they want an amendment to the legislation that would impose a duty on ministers to develop a strategy to improve palliative and end-of-life care. The charity’s chief executive, Matthew Reed, said that the organisation is “neutral” on the subject of assisted dying, “but what we are absolutely not neutral on is the need to urgently fix end-of-life care”. In a statement after the vote, Mr Reed said: “Warm words won’t fix our broken end-of-life care system. The Bill says nothing about the urgent need to improve existing provision. It says nothing about the postcode lottery for access to end-of-life care, nothing about the funding crisis, and nothing about people spending their final moments in A&E because our health system can’t offer them the care and support they need, in or out of hours.” On Saturday, Mother of the House Diane Abbott had said that she was “worried that vulnerable people will get swept up in the assisted dying route”. Ms Abbott was one of the 275 MPs who voted against the plans in Parliament. Asked why, the MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I am very worried that vulnerable people will get swept up in the assisted dying route, when actually what they really need is access to hospice care and proper end-of-life care.” She said that she has “every sympathy” for other positions, but wants people to “not see supported suicide as the only option” if they have concerns such as being a “burden” or worries about the family finances.

The man charged in the killing of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare reported in online writings over a period of years that he had been navigating a series of life-altering health problems. In posts on a Reddit account, the man, Luigi Mangione , said back pain that had once been a minor issue in his life grew more extreme in 2022 after he went surfing, then grew worse again a few weeks later when he slipped on a piece of paper. He reported persistent problems, including pain when he sat down, twitching leg muscles, and numbness in his groin and bladder. Suspect Luigi Mangione yells as he is taken into the Blair County Courthouse in Hollidaysburg, Pennyslvania. Credit: AP He shared details that friends have corroborated, writing that he had a spinal fusion surgery in July 2023. He wrote that within days he did not need pain meds and could sit, stand and walk just fine. “The surgery wasn’t nearly as scary as I made it out to be in my head, and I knew it was the right decision within a week,” he wrote in one Reddit post. He went on to encourage others to consider such surgery, pointing to athletes who had done so. An X-ray that he posted on another social media account showed a spinal fusion. The back pain was not his only struggle. He wrote at times about “brain fog” that had worsened during his college years, making studying more difficult. Doctors could not seem to figure out what was happening, he reported. “It’s absolutely brutal to have such a life-halting issue,” he wrote. He also posted on a page for people dealing with irritable bowel syndrome, saying that he had undergone some testing for the condition. He said the testing had been covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield — his only reference in the Reddit writings to insurance coverage. After the back surgery, he returned to Hawaii, where he had previously been living, but by the spring of this year, he had ceased communications with most friends and family members. His family reached out to his friends in recent months in hopes of finding him. Arraignment photo of Luigi Mangione, a suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Credit: AP The suspect’s comment history on Reddit gives other clues to his personal life and pursuits. He was an active commenter in the OneBag subreddit, a community that “promotes urban travel with the philosophy of carrying less” and focuses on different types of backpacks and travel gear. Photos released by the New York Police Department of the assailant in the UnitedHealthcare shooting showed what its maker identified as a backpack by Peak Design, a brand that was widely discussed in the OneBag subreddit. The suspect also posted to the Magfest subreddit, a community dedicated to a gaming subculture and festival held annually in Maryland, where he grew up. Sarah Nehemiah, a friend during his time in Hawaii, described him as an avid gamer and Pokémon enthusiast. He posted enthusiastically to the Pokémon Go subreddit, a forum dedicated to the popular mobile augmented reality game in which users catch virtual Pokémon using their mobile phones. Police have charged Luigi Mangione with the murder of Brian Thompson. Credit: Facebook Gaming has long been a part of the suspect’s life. He spent much of his childhood creating games and later went into the tech and gaming industry, working as an intern at the company that created the enormously popular Civilization game franchise. The Reddit account has since been deleted by the company, but archived versions of the posts were reviewed by The New York Times . A Reddit spokesperson said its policy was to suspend accounts that may potentially be related to suspects in high-profile criminal investigations.

On Monday, Meta suspended the suspect’s accounts on Facebook and Instagram. And GoodReads, a site dedicated to chronicling a person’s reading activities, suspended his account the same day.

Katz had informed Israel’s Shin Bet internal security service chief Ronen Bar of his decision earlier this week, asking him to put alternative tools to administrative arrests in place. “If there is suspicion of committing criminal acts, the perpetrators can be brought to justice, and if not, there are other preventive measures that can be taken outside of administrative detention,” Katz added, Xinhua news agency reported. Administrative detention permits individuals to be held without charge for periods of up to six months at a time. Under the new decision, administrative detention orders will continue to be issued against Palestinians in the West Bank, but will no longer be issued to Jewish settlers. According to data from the Israeli Prison Service and the army, there were 3,377 administrative detainees as of June, of whom 3,340 are Palestinians.While Apple is supposedly surveying the smart glasses market before potentially manufacturing its own pair, other companies are deploying commercial products right now to leverage the power of genAI software. We saw Meta bundle its Meta AI software with the Ray-Ban Meta, and . But if you’re shopping for a wearable device to help you make the most of , you’ll want to check out the new Solos AirGo Vision glasses. They’re available for for $299, which is what you’d pay for a pair of Ray-Ban Metas. But unlike those, the AirGo Vision works with ChatGPT out of the box. As a ChatGPT enthusiast, I think this kind of product might work well with ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode. It practically gives the AI a pair of eyes to answer questions about your surroundings in real-time. Also interesting is the privacy approach. The Solos glasses come with interchangeable frames that let you eliminate the cameras when you don’t need them. Sign up for the most interesting tech & entertainment news out there. By signing up, I agree to the and have reviewed the I told you a few weeks ago how just as I visited a museum in Venice, Italy. That’s where I tested Advanced Voice Mode without any preparation. The test wasn’t perfect, and one of the downsides was immediately clear. The AI did not have eyes. A gadget like the Solos AirGo Vision would have worked well in that scenario, but I can see plenty of scenarios where I’d want to feed the AI photos or videos of things around me. Remember that Apple is doing the same thing with Visual Intelligence on the . But you have to press a button to turn on the iPhone’s camera and then have the AI offer you information about things around you. A pair of glasses would be better than that. The AirGo Vision will let you ask ChatGPT for details about your surroundings. The glasses can also translate text into different languages, support navigation, and help with other questions. According to , you’d be able to customize the Solos glasses with other genAI software if ChatGPT isn’t your favorite. Google Gemini and Anthrophic Claude are such alternatives. As a privacy-conscious individual, I also like Solos’ take on privacy. You don’t have to wear the cameras all the time. You can change the front of the frame with the default component that doesn’t feature any cameras. The actual computer is placed in the left and right frames, which can be recharged via USB-C. The battery lasts for about ten hours. Even without cameras, I think the AirGo Vision would work with ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode or any similar product. It’s all about quickly asking the AI questions and getting answers directly into your ears. Finally, I’ll also tell you that the Solos AirGo Vision isn’t a standalone device. You still need to pair the smart glasses with an iPhone or Android device that you keep in your pocket or purse while using them. You’ll have to use the official to do so. The app will support the expected features, like voice assistant, translation, and notifications support. But more interesting are the health features. The glasses can help you monitor your posture, track activities, remind you to drink water, and even assist with workouts. A $10/month Premium subscription should unlock additional features. Since I mentioned , it’s unclear what sort of user and prompt data Solos collects with the app. The glasses can also be customized with prescription lenses as long as you upload your information during the preorder purchase. That’s also when you’ll choose the size of the frames for your glasses. There’s even a sunglasses frame to choose from. You can customize your purchase . Shipping should start in the coming weeks.

It’s an age old problem. One group toots its horn about the progress it’s making, and another group comes in right on its heels saying that there isn’t enough progress being made. Such was the case in Somerset 70 years ago, when then-Mayor Jess Wilson was proud as a peacock to connect a gas pipeline in the city – an act which has benefitted the city to this day. Meanwhile, a group was meeting which decided that Somerset was definitely not progressive enough. Before we look at those articles, for the second week in a row, the newspaper’s headlines in November of 1954 told of local tragedies. With the holidays approaching, one family was ripped apart when a mother and father were killed in an automobile wreck. Here’s what was newsworthy in Pulaski County this week 70 years ago, from the pages of The Somerset Journal, Nov. 18, 1954. Two persons were killed and three others were injured Friday night in a two-car, head-on collision near Science Hill. Dead were Ray W. Cook, 39, and his wife, Mrs. Lou Adkins Cook, 32, of Route 1, Eubank. Injured were the Rev. J.C. Hollifield, 36, Norwood, Ohio, driver of the car in which Mr. and Mrs. Cook were riding; Boyce Cook, six-year-old son of the dead couple; and George B. Harris, 42, Cincinnati, driver of the other car. The accident occurred at midnight about one-half mile north of Science Hill. ... According to reports, the Cooks, members of a quartet, had spent the evening singing for a revival meeting at the North Side Baptist Church in Science Hill. Following the meeting, the Cooks and Rev. Hollifield, evangelist in charge of the revival, visited a friend of the Cooks, Frank Simpson, before going home. Harris, driving south, failed to make a curve in his car and swung over into the northbound lane, into the path of the Hollifield car. Both cars wound up in the ditch on the right hand side of the road, completely demolished. Cook was killed instantly with chest and head injuries. Mrs. Cook died later in the Somerset City Hospital of a fractured skull and a possible broken neck. The Rev. Hollifield suffered both legs broken and minor cuts and bruises. Boyce Cook was treated for a four-inch tear in his scalp and released Saturday morning. Harris was listed as critical with multiple fractures of both legs and feet, both arms, and lacerations of the scalp. Mrs. Lou Emma Adkins Cook was born at Bent, Ky, Aug. 20, 1922. ... She was a member of the New Hope Baptist Church. Mrs. Cook is survived by two sons, Boyce and Gary Cook, both at home, her parents, three sisters, ... (and) five brothers. ... Ray Worth Cook was born at Sugar Grove, N.C., Feb. 24, 1915. ... He married Lou Emma Adkins July 9, 1941, and two sons were born to this union. Mr. Cook was a member of the McKinney Baptist Church for many years. Mr. Cook is survived by two sons; his father; two sisters, ... (and) four brothers. ... Funeral services were held Monday at the McKinney Baptist Church. ... Burial was in the McKinney cemetery. Beecher Tarter, 46, Somerset, was seriously injured about noon yesterday when his truck skidded on wet pavement near Science Hill and plunged over an embankment, crashing into a tree. Tarter suffered a cerebral concussion, a broken back, fractured left arm and multiple cuts and bruises about the head and body. His condition was reported as fairly good today. The accident occurred about 20 yards south of the curve where two persons were killed Friday night. “I think this is the greatest thing that has ever happened to Somerset,” commented Mayor Jess Wilson after the city’s new gas pipeline was officially connected and put into service at 10:30 a.m. Monday. The line, built at a total cost of about $345,000, can supply up to 7,000,000 cubic feet of gas per day. The connection was made at the regulator station at the intersection of Ohio Street and Clifty Road. Charles E. Pickens, manager of Somerset Gas Service, said the line is “operating splendidly.” The action followed intensive tests on the 34.2-mile line, which connects with the Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation pipeline at Weiss in Casey County. ... The line, composed of certified used six-inch standard-weight pipe, was built by Cumberland Construction Company of Monticello. ... Emphasizing that Somerset has experienced its last almost-gasless winter, Mayor Wilson said also that the new pipeline “will indeed prove a boon to our efforts to secure new industry for Somerset, as all factories demand an adequate supply of gas.” He recalled last winter’s critical shortage, which at one time kept residents shivering for almost four days. During that period, some persons relied on open-grate fires to keep warm, and others resorted to small oil burners. Most cooking was done on electric hot plates. “Those days are gone forever,” Mayor Wilson declared. “There will be an abundance of gas this winter to take care of any situation.” Although Somerset is progressing, it is not progressing fast enough, a six-member panel decided Tuesday night during a discussion of Somerset’s needs. The discussion was broadcast by Radio Station WSFC. ... The subject of the first forum was “Is Somerset a progressive city?” Members of the panel were Mrs. L.W. Jarvis, president of the Business and Professional Women’s Club; Miss Jean Stamps, representative of the Junior Woman’s Club; Mrs. Louise M. Craig, representative of the Somerset Woman’s Club; John Prather, president of the Kiwanis Club; Paul Hayden, president of the Lions Club, and Jack Goldenberg, representative of the Rotary Club. ... To become progressive Somerset will have to do something more than just providing the necessities for the city, Jack Goldenberg said. “Our hooking up to the new gas line can’t be considered progress for we once had gas, lost it, and now have it back again. We didn’t gain anything. Same is true with our new schools being built. That isn’t progress. It is a must, a have-to sort of thing. Progress is when we do something more than the other fellow.” Mr. Goldenberg, in answer to a question telephoned in, said the Chamber of Commerce, the city and the civic organizations have been working hard to bring industry to Somerset and will continue to do so. Some progress has been made along this line, he said, but added that the companies do not desire publicity about their consideration of Somerset. ... In answer to another question, “Is Somerset a friendly and courteous city?”, the consensus was that it is, but that more courtesy could be shown tourists. Mrs. Craig pointed out that the appearance of the city could be made more attractive and in that way make it appear more friendly. The panel agreed that a parking lot in the center of town is needed. ... Mr. Hayden added that there is no place in the business district available for a parking lot and that a building would have to be torn down to make room for such a lot. ... Two other questions were discussed briefly and will be discussed at length next week. They were: “What is Somerset doing to help industry in Somerset rather than spending a lot of time trying to get outside industry to come to Somerset” and “What are the possibilities of removing the Fountain Square to speed the movement of traffic.” Next week the question before the panel will be “Does Somerset have a modern and adequate Police Department?” Citing ill health as the reason, George Beasley resigned Thursday night as City Councilman from the Fifth Ward, and former Councilman Victor Sams was unanimously elected to fill the vacancy. ... Mr. Beasley was elected November 2 as a successor to Mr. Sams who resigned this summer and was appointed to fill out the rest of the term by the late Mayor Ivan C. Kelly. After the Council had heard and accepted Mr. Beasley’s resignation, Councilman Chester W. Copeland nominated Mr. Sams, and the nomination was seconded by Councilman Otis B. Chaney. An enthusiastic crowd of approximately 1,200 persons from Pulaski and adjoining counties gathered at the National Guard Armory here Tuesday night to hear A.B. “Happy” Chandler speak on behalf of his candidacy for governor. The rally was in the form of a fish fry. Announcing his intention to win in 1955, Chandler promised to restore the system of having a highway commissioner in each Congressional district instead of only one commissioner in Frankfort. He also pledged himself to provide an increase in teachers’ salaries. By unanimous vote, Arthur Prather, prominent Somerset businessman, was elected to manage Chandler’s campaign in Pulaski County. City Police had a “full house” in the jail last week end, Chief Harold Catron said today. Police arrested 38 persons during the week. The majority of the cases involved liquor. There were 23 persons charged with being drunk in public, four for breach of peace, three for reckless driving, two each for driving the wrong way on a one-way street and driving under the influence of alcohol, and one each for driving on a revoked license, no auto registration, flourishing a deadly weapon and driving without an operator’s license.

This raised the state’s highway fatality toll for the year to 619. It was 722 in the corresponding 1953 record. Some reduction is indicated in the 1955 acreage of burley tobacco, a spokesman for the United States Department of Agriculture said Wednesday. The statement came at the end of a day of discussion of the tobacco situation by the Commodity Stabilization Corporation, tobacco organizations, growers, and other groups. The spokesman did not say what reduction in acreage quotas could be expected. But he said the reduction is considered likely because of the stocks of tobacco still on hand and because of the drop in sales of cigarettes in which burley is used. A cut in acreage quotas for grow-flue-cured tobacco can be considered likely for the same reasons, he said. Wednesday, dark tobacco was considered at a similar meeting and a 25 per cent reduction in acreage quotas of those types was proposed. Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Ben Adams said dark tobacco growers would accept that reduction “if the carry-over (stocks) and general marketing picture” demand it. He was hopeful a considerably less severe cut would prove sufficient. Today, the last day of the meetings, cigar types of tobacco will be discussed. -Pvt.

Mr. Meece said the faculty in Somerset schools is “a hard working, loyal and determined bunch.” Somerset school system is the biggest and most important business in Somerset, he added, and urged the club members to visit the schools more often. “You don’t have to have an invitation or a special celebration to visit your schools. Come any time and we will take you on a tour and show you what is being done.” Kentucky has been dropping in educational standards for many years, Mr. Meece pointed out, “but I predict that in 10 years we will have a program comparable with that of any state.” In conclusion, Mr. Meece discussed the present building program of city schools. He said he hopes the new Hopkins and Parker Schools will be completed by next September. Bids are to be awarded tomorrow night at a special City Council meeting. -Sixty-six students from Pulaski County have enrolled at the University of Kentucky for the school’s fall semester, the U.K. Registrar’s Office reports. ...

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio (AP) — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s home was broken into during Monday Night Football in the latest home invasion of a pro athlete in the U.S., authorities said Tuesday. No one was injured in the break-in, but the home was ransacked, according to a report provided by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies weren’t immediately able to determine what items were stolen. A person who is employed by Burrow arrived at the Anderson Township home Monday night to find a shattered bedroom window and the home in disarray. The person called their mother, and then 911 was contacted, according to the report. Deputies reached out to neighbors in an attempt to piece together surveillance footage. “Our investigators are exploring every avenue,” public information officer Kyla Woods said. The homes of Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were broken into in October. In the NBA , Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis had his home broken into Nov. 2 and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr.'s home was burglarized on Sept. 15 while he was at a Minnesota Vikings game. RELATED COVERAGE Fantasy plays: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 15 Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase stay hot as the Bengals finally break through to end a 3-game skid Raiders sign QB Carter Bradley to active roster and place RB Zamir White on season-ending IR Portis had offered a $40,000 reward for information. Both the NFL and NBA issued security alerts to players after those break-ins, urging them to take additional precautions to secure their homes. In league memos previously obtained by The Associated Press, the NFL said homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.” And the NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Some of the burglary groups have conducted extensive surveillance on targets, including attempted home deliveries and posing as grounds maintenance or joggers in the neighborhood, according to officials. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflRecovery time?
