#cyclospora #parasite - Why The U.S. Is Struggling To Control Food Safety: CNBC

9 August 2026

Tens of thousands of people across 47 states are reporting illness linked to the cyclospora outbreak that started in mid-May.

While pressure is mounting at the FDA to resolve the outbreak, experts tell CNBC issues in the U.S. food safety arena have been mounting for years. CNBC's Brandon Gomez explores the challenges facing both the private and public sector when it comes to controlling outbreaks of this magnitude.

Cyclospora cayetanensis is an apicomplexan protist that causes cyclosporiasis in humans and possibly other primates. It is a cyst-forming coccidian that causes self-limiting diarrhea.

The health risks associated with the disease are generally limited to travelers visiting endemic regions and acquiring the infection; this is why C. cayetanensis has been labeled as one of the causes of "traveler's diarrhea." Morphologically, the oocysts are spherical, with a diameter of 7.5–10 μm and a thick wall, 50 nm thick, that protects them from the external environment.

#USA #Investment - Why a weaker dollar is key to U.S. plans to rebalance global trade: Bloomberg

28 August 2025 

It's no secret a weaker currency is a key part of U.S. President Donald Trump's economic agenda. But he wouldn't be the first. From Richard Nixon in the 1970s to Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, past presidents have also deliberately looked to weaken the dollar to try and rebalance global trade. Kevin Hebner, Managing Director and Global Investment Strategist at TD Epoch, speaks with Kim Parlee about efforts to weaken the dollar and the implications for markets. 

Could Donald Trump be held accountable for aiding and abetting #genocide in #Gaza?

 

 Amid warnings of "catastrophic" levels of starvation in Gaza - the UK, France and Germany have issued a joint statement calling for an end to the war and urging Israel to "immediately lift the restrictions on the flow of aid". 

 During a speech on the House floor on Monday (22 July 2025), Rep. Al Green (D-TX) accused President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with genocide in Gaza.

I need to return to enjoying my music for which I am told I have a good ear for noticing music picking the Rolling Stones; Eric Clapton´s first records for being famous + many more and Rihanna´s first CD c2007/2008 when I was diagnosed with cancer. About that time a lady from UA dreams Donetsk (UA Dreams) wrote to me and we corresponded for about 18 months before she moved to Germany. I warned her then about the Russians when they invaded Georgia

Passing out parade at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst Summer 1958 John Nichols Dettingen Company

https://archive.org/details/dettingen-company-royal-military-academy-sandhurst-winter-term-1964.

United Nations Forces, comprised of United Kingdom, Belgium, Luxembourg, Philippines and South Korea troops in the vicinity of the Imjin River fell under direct attack when the Chinese Spring Offensive commenced on 22 April 1951.

The 29th British Independent Infantry Brigade Group, commanded by Brigadier Tom Brody, was under the most severe attack and was eventually surrounded by the enemy. An attempt to reinforce them failed due to harsh terrain and overwhelming enemy power.

The 1st Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel James Carne, bravely held out for more than three days against more than 30,000 Chinese troops. Of the 700 Gloucesters, only 40 men reached safety, the rest were captured or killed by the Chinese. Lt. Col. Carne was held at a Chinese POW Camp in North Korea till after the armistice agreement was signed. He spent 19 months in solitary confinement, and many of his men died due to harsh treatment at the camp.

The British 29th Brigade's brave stand provided UN Forces enough time to re-group and block the Chinese advance onto Seoul, but not without sacrifice, they suffered 1,091 casualties, including 622 of Glosters. The US lost 1,500 men either killed or missing in action, the South Koreans 8,000 and the other UN forces approximately 1,000 men. Chinese casualties were estimated at 70,000.
