[LUSAKA] A dearth of basic data on mental health conditions, as well as non-communicable diseases such as cancer and heart disease, is preventing people in Africa from accessing the care they need, global health specialists warn.

From the collapse and rebirth of Silicon Valley Bank to the indictment of Sam Bankman-Fried — it’s safe to say that this has been a long year. Emotionally, at least. That’s why the team here at TechCrunch thought it would be fun to have an end-of-year pub quiz testing you, dear reader, on how well you remember the wild ride that was 2023. Feel free to play this at home, with friends, at the park, or at the office holiday party. If you win the quiz, sadly, we have nothing to offer. But if you play with others, maybe the…

At Dawn, we essentially work with any company that needs to change things up and actually stand for something.

In many languages, the creaky tone changes the meaning of words, as exhibited in Lango spoken in South Sudan or Jalapa Mazatec spoken in Mexico. Hannah White and her Department of Linguistics colleagues at Macquarie University researched how creaky voice is reflected in Australian English used in Sydney, and what factors influence its prevalence. She presents her findings on the…

It has been issued for the Aldingbourne and Barnham Rifes, near Bognor, where between 15 and 30mm of rain is forecast from 1pm to 8pm on Thursday. Typical rainfall in November in Sussex is around 80mm, so more than a third of the month’s rain could hit the county in just one day.   The government’s Environment Agency, which issued the warning, also mentioned more rain coming on Saturday.
