For those who refuse to read the articles about this case. She had a babysitter coming in the mornings to check in, make lunches, get them off to school, and prep dinner for them. All the 14 year old had to do was help them get inside after school. Microwave dinner. Get kids in bed and text mom updates. This was a work trip and they threatened to fire her if she did not go. The father has abuse charges and the police handed him their kids on top of arresting her.

We have the tools to end mosquito-borne illness. Why don't we use them?

Problem [Now]: Many tenants are not paying rent.
Solution: Landlords and taxpayers will eat 2/3 cost of unpaid rent.
Problem [Soon]: Many tenants are still not paying rent.
Solution: Landlords and taxpayers will eat full cost of unpaid rent.
This is not smart!

Even astrophysicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein has asserted that the claim by the Byline Times that Jason Arday has been “cleared” of plagiarism charges by a major journal is false.
This supposed “clearing” of Jason Arday for plagiarism is based on the fact that a single scientific journal decided not to retract a paper of his or take any further action such as issuing a correction.
The journal did not come out with a statement saying they had “cleared” him. Nor did they asses all the papers of his that show evidence of fraud or plagiarism. They apparently took yet another look at a paper to which they had already attached a correction.
But because the Byline Times is wedded to the narrative of claiming Arday was never at fault for anything, and because so is Bluesky, the claim flies unquestioned. Somehow these arguments never acknowledge that there is strong evidence that Arday stole another academic’s data and presented it as his own, which would be fraud.

Canada spends more on health care than most high-income countries but is still lacking in major areas of patient care. Find out more: fraserinstitute.org/studies/… #cdnpoli

Canada’s healthcare system is a source of pride. But that pride is increasingly founded on popular culture and nostalgia, not reality.
The data is consistent: Canada spends, but does not achieve. Ranking near the bottom of OECD countries on wait times, availability of doctors, number of MRI, CT, and PET scanners—that is not something I am proud of.
Restoring our healthcare system as a cornerstone of Canada’s national pride requires innovative solutions, not defaulting to what we’ve been doing for years—the data shows emphatically that it is not working.

The judgement of Sir Robin Spencer, the single judge who refused Lucy Letby's first leave to appeal, has not been made public. I'm being stonewalled by the Court of Appeal who are bizarrely trying to claim the judgement is confidential.

It appears that Dr Evans believed he was acting for the Prosecution?
Whereas the @gmcuk states Expert Witnesses are there for the Court, for Fair Justice, whoever pays them.
Dr Evans worked for the Cheshire Police for years, presumably for a considerable daily fee? – at Ballachulish, Scotland
