In her complaint, New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that outgoing NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre “exploited the organization for his financial benefit, and the benefit of a close circle of NRA staff, board members, and vendors,” ultimately diverting over US$63 million from legitimate uses. And yet, the NRA had a 76-member board of directors, as well as a designated audit committee, which both had…

The BBC says it has uncovered evidence of rape and forced abortions, as well as physical violence, by the late TB Joshua, the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations – one of the biggest Christian evangelical churches in the world. The alleged abuse is said to have taken place over 30 years in a secretive compound in Lagos. A British woman, named as Rae by the BBC, said: “We all thought we were in heaven, but we were in hell, and in hell terrible things happen.” Rae told the BBC that she spent 12 years as one of Joshua’s “disciples” after…

In fields such as physics and engineering, partial differential equations (PDEs) are used to model complex physical processes to generate insight into how some of the most complicated physical and natural systems in the world function. To solve these difficult equations, researchers use high-fidelity numerical solvers, which can be very time-consuming and computationally expensive to run. The current simplified alternative, data-driven surrogate models, compute the goal property of a solution to PDEs rather than the whole solution. Those are trained on a set of data that has been generated by the high-fidelity solver, to predict the output of the PDEs…

The gut microbiome is so useful to human digestion and health that it is often called an extra digestive organ. This vast collection of bacteria and other microorganisms in the intestine helps us break down foods and produce nutrients or other metabolites that impact human health in a myriad of ways. New research from the University of Chicago shows that some groups of these microbial helpers are amazingly resourceful too, with a large repertoire of genes that help them generate energy for themselves and potentially influence human health as well. The paper, published January 4, 2024, in Nature Microbiology, identified…

Melissa Zoglie died at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton a day after she went to A&E with “excruciating” abdominal pains. She was discharged after hours of observation and tests and went home to Leahurst Court Road, Brighton, where she lived with her parents Antoinette Adjo and Franklin Zoglie and her  brothers. But it was found out the next day during emergency surgery that the 21-year-old’s stomach “had died” due to a gastric volvulus. This is when the stomach twists, cutting off the blood supply to the organ. The doctors who treated her did not suspect what was wrong because they said…
