U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy announced Monday that he would push for a warning label on social media platforms to warn parents that use of the platforms could harm teenagers' mental health.Warning labels – like those that appear on tobacco and alcohol products – are one of the most powerful tools available to the nation's top health officials, but Dr. Murthy cannot require them unilaterally; the action requires congressional approval.Dr. Murthy said he is "pretty optimistic" that lawmakers will introduce a bill requiring a warning label, which he said will regularly appear on screens when people use social media sites.The push for a warning label sparks a battle between the Biden administration and the tech industry, which has sued several states over social media laws.Dr...

The Mayor of Derry gave a speech. The Prime Minister and Deputy Ministers of Northern Ireland took to the stage. They were all women, and all were in the city on Thursday to celebrate the opening of the Yes festival, a hymn to female artists and creativity which also closes the celebration of the two-year anniversary of the publication of "Ulysses", the work of James Joyce. Vast and encyclopedic novel."Ulysses," which Joyce modeled on Homer's "Odyssey," is devoted primarily to the reflections and actions of men - the protagonist Leopold Bloom, his friend Stephen Dedalus and a variety of Dublin characters - as Leopold travels through the city in just one day, June 16th.But it is Leopold's wife, Molly Bloom, who says the novel's last word in the final episode, "Penelope."

The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce has been convening an annual meeting of local business leaders since the 1800s, but the most recent meeting had a decidedly modern theme: artificial intelligence.The goal was to demystify technology for the Chamber's approximately 2,000 members, especially small businesses.“My sense is not that people are wary,” said Ralph Schulz, the chamber's chief executive. “It's just not clear its potential use for them.”When generative AI entered public consciousness in late 2022, it captured the imagination of businesses and workers with its ability to answer questions, compose paragraphs, write code, and create images. Analysts predicted that technology would transform the economy by driving a boom in productivity.Yet so far the impact has been l...

After eight devastating months of war, Muslims in Gaza will mark a somber Eid al-Adha on Sunday, a major religious holiday usually celebrated by sharing meat among friends, family and the needy.Adha means sacrifice and the ritual killing of a sheep, goat or cow on that day is understood as a symbol of the Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son. But this year, almost everyone in Gaza is in need. Hunger has gripped the Palestinian territory as Israel unleashed an eight-month military offensive on the enclave and severely limited what is allowed in, including humanitarian aid.Many don't feel like celebrating.“There will be no Eid, no Eid atmosphere,” said Zaina Kamuni, who lived with her family in a tent on a sandy stretch in southern Gaza called Al-Mawasi. "I haven'...

Catherine, Princess of Wales, said on Friday that she planned to take part in a parade on Saturday to mark King Charles III's birthday, a tentative return to the public stage after confirming in March that she was undergoing treatment for cancer.The news, which Catherine released in a highly personal six-paragraph statement, reflects both the progress she has made since she was first admitted to hospital for abdominal surgery last January and the long road to recovery. that he has yet to face.“I am making good progress, but as anyone who has undergone chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” Catherine wrote.“On those bad days you feel weak, tired and have to surrender to resting your body,” said the princess. “But on good days, when you feel stronger, you want to mak...

Tesla shareholders reaffirmed a payout worth more than $45 billion for Elon Musk on Thursday, but before the announcement was made official at the company's annual meeting in Austin, Texas, Musk posted the news on , its social media platform.“Both Tesla shareholder resolutions are currently passing by wide margins!” she wrote in a post late Wednesday night. "Thank you for your support!!"For months, Musk's supporters have used the social media site, which he bought for $44 billion in 2022, to drum up support for his massive payday, and Tesla board members have warned that it could leave the company if the shareholders voted against him.But for some Tesla investors, Musk's involvement with Mr Musk has also used the platform to promote right-wing conspiracy theories and vulgar ...

Iran and Sweden exchanged prisoners on Saturday. The exchange looked like any two countries engaged in diplomatic negotiations to free their citizens. The families were elated; governments were relieved.But the exchange was only the latest chapter in Iran's long history of what is known in world affairs as hostage diplomacy.For more than four decades, starting with the 1979 revolution that established a conservative theocracy, the country has made the detention of foreigners and dual citizens a central element of its foreign policy. For Iran, the approach has paid off. This was a worrying trend for the world.Iran's demands have evolved along with its tactics. In exchange for the release of the foreigners he asked for prisoners, assassins, cash and frozen funds. He designed c...

Kim Short waited in the doctor’s exam room on an icy day in February, exhausted from the first trimester of pregnancy and trembling in withdrawal from methamphetamine, alcohol, Xanax and Klonopin.She stared at the floor, her black hair curtaining face tattoos of a dagger and stitches, memorials to friends dead from overdose. Inky wings of eyeliner rimmed her eyes.This was Kim’s second pregnancy with the Great Moms clinic at the Corewell Health Medical Center in Grand Rapids, Mich., one of the rare programs for a population of patients who are among the most reviled in society: pregnant women and new mothers who are addicted to drugs and alcohol.Kim, 32, had first come to the clinic in the fall of 2022 and, in April 2023, gave birth to a healthy, drug-free boy. But within months she relapse...
