• DAYS: And Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Dr. Marlena Evans has passed away on Days of our Lives…again. When you’ve come back from the dead as many times as Doc has, it’s hard to get worked up over yet another (temporary) trip to the pearly gates. However, the very first time fans thought this had happened, it nearly started a riot.

Out of the Days of our Lives Past

In the words of The Golden Girls’ Sophia Petrillo, “Picture it…Salem, USA…1982.” A strangler is haunting the sleepy Midwestern town…with its own dock and international airport. Lorie Masters, Denise Peterson, and Mary Anderson were already dead. Renée DuMonde just barely escaped with her life.

Being obese can be a very isolating experience, and losing weight can be difficult for anyone, particularly for a teenager. 
A new study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, finds that teenage girls gained less weight, ate less fast foods, improved their body images and had more family interaction over meals, after participating in a six-month program designed especially for teenage girls.
The program involved weekly peer meetings, consultations with primary care providers and separate meetings for their parents.
Conducted by Kaiser Permanente, the study is the first to report long-term results from a weight management program designed specifically for this age group.  In previous programs, younger children, teens and family members were included. This one was designed for teen girls only.

Johnson was the last remaining member of a famous RAF squadron that famously destroyed two key German dams in a Second World War bombing raid.

John Nicol led tributes for “Johnny” Johnson, who died at the age of 101.

“Very sad to learn that the “Last Dambuster”, Sqn Ldr Johnny Johnson, has died aged 101,” he wrote on Twitter.

“His WW2 generation sacrificed so much, yet asked nothing in return.”

There was no debate on Tuesday as city councillors in London, Ont., endorsed a move to rename Paul Haggis Park and remove all references to the park’s current name from the city’s website.

It comes after a U.S. jury ordered the London-born screenwriter and film director to pay at least US$7.5 million in compensatory damages to a woman who accused him of rape.

Days later, Haggis, 69, was ordered to pay an additional US$2.5 million in punitive damages, for a total of US$10 million, or about C$13.3 million.

Experts in misinformation and science communication fear Twitter’s decision to no longer enforce its COVID-19 misleading-information policy will further silo users and create an environment rife with the content the policy aimed to curtail.

The tool, brought on during the pandemic to help people find reliable information, has been quietly shelved.

Since January 2020, 11.7 million accounts have been “challenged” under the policy, likely meaning they received a message their tweet was misleading or inaccurate; while 11,230 accounts were suspended and 97,674 pieces of content were removed, according to Twitter.

“The world has changed dramatically since this pandemic was first declared a public-health emergency,” reads a section on Twitter’s transparency website.

Rental living pioneer Moda Living’s Brighton & Hove neighbourhood ‘Moda, Hove Central’ has reached its highest point as guests celebrated the milestone and enjoyed spectacular views from the top. 

Moda is regenerating the former Sackville Road Trading Estate into a thriving new multigenerational neighbourhood of more than 820 new homes, 564 of which will be build-to-rent apartments. The neighbourhood will include six new buildings, with more than 60% of the 8.8-acre site covered with new landscaped green spaces, pedestrian routes and public realm. 

The neighbourhood is part of Moda’s prime multi-family joint venture with investment manager Apache Capital, and the first to be funded by KKR.

The new homes, 10 per cent of which will be affordable and managed by Moda, will cater to all ages and requirements, ranging from studio apartments to three-bedroom homes and boast views of the sea, the South Downs and Brighton and Hove.
