CNN —The Cleveland Cavaliers became just the eighth team in NBA history to start a season 12-0 after earning a hard fought 119-113 win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. The Bulls managed to tie the scores at 106-106, but Cleveland outscored its opponent down the stretch to cement its place in an exclusive NBA group. It’s the best start to an NBA season since the record-breaking 2015-16 Golden State Warriors, who set league records with a 24-0 start and a 73-9 campaign. Five of the last seven teams to start the season 12-0 have gone on to reach the NBA Finals, according to ESPN. The Cavaliers’ 9-0 start to the season was already the best in franchise history.

CNN —Salma Paralluelo’s second-half brace ensured defending champion Barcelona avoided a Champions League upset against Eintracht Frankfurt, as the Catalan club came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory. “I’m happy above all for being able to help the team,” Paralluelo said after the match. But the team was frustrated by some resolute Frankfurt defending in the first half, before Freigang’s goal against the run of play. Against the best team in the world, that’s not a surprise, but I think we played well today. Benfica’s 1-0 victory over FC Rosengård on Wednesday puts the Portuguese club in third.

That could jeopardize a "once in a lifetime opportunity,” according to Cheri Smith, president of the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy, a nonprofit that is helping tribes develop clean energy.

CNN —Spain’s football federation has threatened to take legal action against one of the country’s star players, Jennifer Hermoso, accusing her of lying about being kissed by federation president Luis Rubiales. The President has not lied,” the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) said, alongside descriptions of photos attempting to support Rubiales’ claim. CNN has reached out to soccer’s world governing body FIFA and UEFA, European soccer’s governing body. Following Rubiales’ comments on Friday, the president of Spain’s High Council of Sport (CSD), Víctor Francos, said the council would look to suspend Rubiales as quickly as it could while following due process. While acknowledging on Friday he needed to apologize for his actions, Rubiales described calls for his resignation as a “witch hunt.”

CNN —Trinity Rodman scored twice as the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) beat Wales 2-0 on Sunday in its final warmup game before the Women’s World Cup. Rodman, the daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman, came on as a second half substitute before scoring a brace late in the game. In 2021, Rodman made history after becoming the youngest woman ever selected in the NWSL draft. She was named NWSL Rookie of the Year later that year as she helped her team lift the NWSL title. Rodman made her highly-anticipated debut for the national team in 2022 and is part of a new generation of players looking to cement the USWNT’s legacy as the greatest team in women’s soccer.

☆ China issues draft guidelines to tackle online bullying
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-09 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

BEIJING, June 9 (Reuters) - China is canvassing public opinion on draft guidelines to punish cyber violence, authorities said on Friday, as concern grows over online bullying and attacks targeting women and children in the world's largest internet community. Cyber violence, unlike traditional crimes, often aims at strangers so that victims face "extremely high" costs to protect their rights, the guidelines showed, leading to consequences such as social death, insanity and suicides. June 25 is the deadline set for comment on the guidelines drafted jointly by the public security ministry, the supreme people's procuratorate (SPP) and the supreme people's court. The measures target behaviours such as the spread of online rumours, insults and personal information, and perpetrators could face criminal punishment.

☆ Some bloodstream infection bacteria grew resistant to last-resort drugs in 2020 - WHO
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-09 | by ( Natalie Grover | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

LONDON, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Increased drug resistance in bacteria causing bloodstream infections, including against last-resort antibiotics, was seen in the first year of the coronavirus pandemic, a World Health Organization report based on data from 87 countries in 2020 showed. High levels (above 50%) of resistance have been reported in bacteria that typically cause life-threatening bloodstream infections in hospitals such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter spp, report authors highlighted on Friday. These infections often require treatment with 'last-resort' antibiotics, drugs that are used when all other antibiotics fail. About 8% of bloodstream infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae grew resistant to a vital last-resort group of drugs called carbapenems, the report said. Rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remain very high, but last-resort antibiotics are only just starting to lose potency, said Dr Carmem Pessoa-Silva, the lead for WHO Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System, in a media conference.

☆ Fungal infection list launched by WHO flags global health threat
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-25 | by ( Jennifer Rigby | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

LONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization has drawn up the first ever list of fungal pathogens posing the greatest threat to human health, warning that some strains are increasingly drug-resistant and becoming more widespread. The U.N. body, which has similar lists for viruses and bacteria, said fungal infections and their increasing resistance to treatment were a growing risk. Fungal infections often strike people who are already severely ill, like cancer or tuberculosis patients, and rates jumped among hospitalized COVID-19 patients during the pandemic. The list divides the pathogens into three categories based on their potential impact and data on their resistance risk: critical, high and medium priority. The medium group lists a number of other fungi, including Coccidioides spp and Cryptococcus gattii.

Deputatul a menționat că pe data de 15 noiembrie cetățenii Republicii Moldova i-au acordat vot de neîncredere lui Igor Dodon si i-au arătat că doresc o schimbare. „Cetățenii Republicii Moldova i-a spus clar lui Dodon să plece și i-au arătat direcția de plecare din istoria acestui stat. Aproape un milion de cetățeni au cerut o schimbare. Din această cauză, noi, cei din „Pro Moldova”, nu vom accepta niciun dialog și nicio consultare cu președintele Igor Dodon, ci doar discuții cu partidele parlamentare și președintele nou ales”, a spus Candu. Liderul grupului Pro Moldova a mai spus că dacă e să vorbim de corectitudine, în pofida faptului că lui Igor Dodon i-a mai rămas o lună de mandat, președintele ales Maia Sandu ar trebui deja să beneficieze inclusiv de protecție din partea Serviciului de Protecție și Pază de Stat.

Ion Cristoiu acuză discursul preşedintelui Iohannis de ieri că ar avea un “ caracter sinistru”, unic în lume”BUCUREȘTI, 28 oct - Sputnik. El spune că Guvernul Orban creează condiţii pentru tot mai multe infectări prin suplimentarea numărului de paturi de la Terapie Intensivă pentru pacienţii cu COVID 19, în stare gravă. Nu, Guvernul Orban are măreţe realizări în tot mai multe infectări şi în crearea condiţiilor pentru ca tot mai multe infectări să beneficieze de terapie intensivă şi, fireşte de cimitire. “Pentru că acuma ăia de la SRI , şi de la STS, şi de la SPP care pregătesc victoria zdrobitoare cu 58% a PNL (…) la ora actuală se pregătesc, se fac liste. Dar, din 10 morţi, opt votează cu PNL”, își continuă Cristoiu tirada.

Chiar dacă pare a fi complicat, menținerea bolilor și dăunătorilor la legume în sistemul ecologic sub control poate fi realizată aplicând măsuri simple și mai puțin costisitoare. Pentru a menține sub control bolile și obține o recoltă bogată, este important să realizați următoarele procedee:Pentru a combate bolile provocate de ciuperci (mana tomatelor, putregaiul coletului, făinarea) pot fi utilizate produsele Trichodermină, sulfat de cupru, Recol. Combatere dăunători:Afidele, acarienii și musculița albă de seră și păduchi la legume pot fi combătuți utilizând insecticidul bio Pelecol. Iar pentru a combate moliile miniere, tripșii, musca cepei, musca morcovului, viespea cu ferestrău în sere pot fi instalate capcane lipicioase. Aceste capcane pot fi instalate și pentru monitorizarea zborului dăunătorilor și numărului acestora.
