In the past decade, Ms. Mehta said, Indians have integrated some global ingredients into their traditional cooking for Diwali. In the United States, many Indian Americans make Diwali catering orders through Facebook or WhatsApp. Urja Shukla Bhatt, of Warminster, Pa., has been taking catering orders for snacks and dinner since at least August. Her mother-in-law, Daksha Bhatt, helps make the snacks, but Urja Shukla Bhatt cooks the Indian dishes for dinner.

Atlassian on Wednesday said it will draw on technology from startup OpenAI to add artificial intelligence features to a slew of the collaboration software company's programs. Atlassian has been building its own AI models for several years, but just started using OpenAI at the beginning of 2023. But Farquhar dismissed this concern, explaining that OpenAI won't be training its models on Atlassian's customer data, so Atlassian won't be necessarily making OpenAI better by giving it business. Atlassian employees have been able to use the new Atlassian Intelligence features internally, and they have become popular, especially for those leading teams, Anu Bharadwaj, president of Atlassian, said. Bharadwaj said Atlassian hasn't figured out how much to charge for Atlassian Intelligence.

There is no cure, but the discomfort is sometimes treated with corticosteroid shots. The scans, collected annually for four years, revealed worse arthritis progression among participants injected with corticosteroids compared to the other two groups. Just because imaging shows more arthritis progression doesn’t mean a patient feels more pain. And second, he said, the results shouldn’t lead people to avoid corticosteroid shots in all situations.

CNN —A common treatment for some arthritis pain might actually be making the condition worse, according to two new studies. Some of those patients didn’t receive any treatment and others got corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections, according to the studies. The takeaway from the studies is that corticosteroids should be administered with caution for osteoarthritis pain. “Perhaps hyaluronic acid injections need to be studied for pain management more thoroughly,” he said. And some people may not see significant benefit from either steroid or hyaluronic acid injections, Kim added.
