De brute moord op Sjef Leukel, in 2004, werd een cold case, maar zijn zoon Patrick en officier van justitie Dave Mattheijs forceerden een doorbraak, door de inzet van commerciële dna-databanken. „Ik wil degene die dit heeft gedaan in de ogen kijken en vragen: wat bezielde je?”

Meer meer meer statushouders waren ook starters die in 2024 een sociale huurwoning kregen. Zelfs 1 op de 5 van die starters was statushouder en die statushouders gingen daarnaast vaker alleen in een huis wonen dan als stel met kinderen. En dat is goed nieuws voor starters, die statushouder zijn. Minder goed nieuws is dat voor starters die Nederlander zijn. Want als de instroom vloeiend blijft doorstromen, als er daarom meer asielzoekers zijn, als er daarom meer huizen gebouwd moeten worden voor asielzoekers en als het met de instroom van asielmaatregelen nog niet zo wil vlotten, ja dan zijn er straks nog veel minder minder minder sociale huurwoningen beschikbaar voor starters, die Nederlanders zijn, en die in Nederland willen wonen. Of zoals de NOS dat noemt: 'Nauwelijks meer sociale huurwoningen voor statushouders.' Aan de ene kant een gruwelijke gotspe, maar aan de andere kant kunnen Nederlandse starters gelukkig bij hun ouders blijven wonen!

The CDC estimates that 19 drug-resistant pathogens cause 9.7 million infections and more than 50,000 deaths annually in the U.S., with resistance continuing to outpace development of new treatments. "The agency considers this problem to be one of our most urgent public health threats," reports NBC News. From the report: The report is the CDC's first comprehensive assessment of these drug-resistant pathogens in seven years. [...] The new report offers a detailed picture of these threats in the U.S., including a ranking of which are the most urgent concerns, based on the number and severity of infections they cause and how easily preventable or transmissible they are. The ranking also factors in how many treatment options exist and their costs. [...] The report estimates that 19 drug-resistant germs cause 9.7 million infections annually in the U.S. Of these, four pathogens are ranked as most worrisome, including the fungus Candida auris and the bacteria that causes gonorrhea, which has become resistant to all but one class of antibiotics used to treat it.

The other two urgent threats, according to the CDC, are the bacteria Acinetobacter and Enterobacterales, both of which are resistant to a class of antibiotics widely considered a "last resort" for patients. In addition, the report adds a new bacteria to the list of "concerning" threats, which are considered less worrisome but still warrant monitoring: neisseria meningitidis, which causes meningococcal disease. The rare but life-threatening illness can be prevented through childhood vaccinations, but the bacteria that causes it is slowly developing a resistance to penicillin and another antibiotic called ciprofloxacin.

The report also offers some good news: The CDC determined that the bacteria Clostridioides difficile, or "C. diff," which causes diarrhea and inflammation of the colon and can be deadly, is causing fewer cases year over year. The agency downgraded it to a serious threat, whereas it was categorized as urgent in the prior version of the report, which came out in 2019.

Norwegian federation president distances self from Fifa presidency but believes governing body can be reformed

As the rain whips around Oslo’s government quarter, Lise Klaveness is shielding herself from the wind, trying to work out tactics. “Of course we cannot probably do everything alone, but we have a voice, we have the right to speak, we have the right to suggest, so let’s see,” she says. “We will at least try to be a spearhead.”

The president of the Norwegian Football Federation wants to re-engage Fifa, and other governing bodies, on the topic of remedy. A slightly arcane aspect of human rights policy in normal times, the importance of remedy became very clear in the aftermath of the World Cup in Qatar, when the families of those injured or killed in the work that led up to the tournament were left without financial compensation after Fifa chose to direct a legacy fund elsewhere.

“Justin Seven-Seven came on in the 75th minute and then scored in the 77th minute for West Brom Under-21s against Sutton United in the National League Cup. You have probably already guessed my question, but has anyone else ever scored in the same minute as their name?” wonders Peter Skilton.

Readers of a certain age may recall Didier Six, the mercurial French winger who had a brief spell at Aston Villa in 1984-85. A number of you mentioned some or all of the following sixth-minute goals, which includes two in consecutive seasons against Bordeaux:

The radical Stern report showed that a low-carbon future is also good economics. But it seems that capitalism needs a reminder

Saving the only planet we have makes good economic sense. There is, after all, no money to be made on a dead Earth. There may be costs involved now, but they are worth paying to protect our children from certain destruction.

These propositions seem self-evident now. But two decades ago, mainstream economists had very different ideas. They had proved that the climate crisis would be a mere economic blip, easily absorbed by growing economies and therefore not worth spending money on. In their accounting, they considered ice caps and glaciers functionally worthless, that trees only add to GDP when they are cut down, and that a livable climate shouldn’t even merit a line on a spreadsheet.

Experts say symptoms such as dark circles under the eyes, grey skin, cracked lips and hair loss can be a warning sign – but there are other factors too

TikTok is rife with influencers warning of “ferritin face”, a term they use to describe the pallor, dark circles, dry skin, and hair loss claimed to indicate low iron stores. But is this based on fact or fiction, and when is it time to head to the GP?

niggyl :) has added a photo to the pool:

The footprints of a Pied Oystercatcher (Haematopus longirostris) meander through windblown sand among the granite boulders of The Gardens, larapuna country, Bay of Fires.

Clearly the bird found something of interest - the isolated, circular hole in the slip-face at the right, beside the tracks of a little shuffle, is the indentation of its beak. Probably marks the demise of a sand flea.

Snail shell rings could hold prehistoric cyclone information. Snail growth could be linked to extreme weather rather than annual patterns, enabling researchers to determine past cyclones.
