Over the years, the ban eased a little, but still excluded most gay men from donating. She remembers the agony gay men felt after the 2016 mass shooting at the Pulse gay nightclub. After 49 people were killed and 53 wounded, hundreds of people waited in line for hours to donate blood. The organization said that “for decades” it has “strongly” advocated for scientifically based changes to the FDA policy about men who have sex with men. Critics say it’s not enoughOnly about 3% of Americans donate blood studies show and there are often shortages over the summer and the holidays.

"There was no ping pong in occupation, children don't even play soccer in the stadiums. Last month, their father finally died of AIDS, the same illness that killed their mother a decade ago, leaving them orphans. Moscow says it has gathered hundreds of thousands of orphans and vulnerable children there, taking them to Russia for their safety. Children whose parents die are the most urgent cases, because the Russian-installed occupation authorities will swiftly impose legal guardianship, said Save Ukraine's founder, Mykola Kuleba. Once they have Ukrainian passports sorted, they will go stay with their late father's ex-wife, now a refugee in Slovakia.

CNN —United Airlines will put Braille throughout its plane interiors in order to support customers who are blind or have visual disabilities, becoming the first US airline to do so. “By adding more tactile signage throughout our interiors, we’re making the flying experience more inclusive and accessible, and that’s good for everyone,” Linda Jojo, Executive Vice President, Chief Customer Officer for United, said in a statement. In addition, the airline is working with the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and the American Council of the Blind (ACB) on other ways to support blind and visually disabled passengers on board. “United is taking additional steps to create an accessible airline passenger experience through Braille signage,” ACB Interim Executive Director Dan Spoone said in a statement.

☆ 4 careers where workers will have to change jobs by 2030 due to AI and shifts in how we shop, according to a McKinsey study
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Jacob Zinkula | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Nearly 12 million US workers may need to switch jobs by 2030, a McKinsey study found. But between now and 2030, the McKinsey researchers projected that 11.8 million workers will have to change jobs not because they want to, but because they have to. Roughly nine million of them might have to find new jobs in new industries altogether, the study found. The study found that Americans in lower-wage jobs are up to 14 times more likely to need to change occupations by 2030. Chui said this could lead to less demand for some jobs and increased demand for others — like healthcare workers.

Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic former House speaker, and George W. Bush, the Republican former president, do not agree on much. Mr. Bush created that program, the President’s Emergency Program for AIDS Relief, in 2003. But now PEPFAR is in danger of becoming a victim of abortion politics — just as the State Department is reorganizing to make the program permanent. But House Republicans are not moving forward with a bill to reauthorize it for another five years, because abortion opponents — led by a G.O.P. congressman who has long been a supporter of PEPFAR — are insisting on adding abortion-related restrictions.

In 2022, only 21.3% of the population of people with disabilities was employed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Here are a few reasons this population's employment rate remains low and what employers can do to ensure they are hiring equitably. First, this population faces various biases that prevent employers from hiring them. For others, it's about the bottom lineWhile considering applicants from the pool of people with disabilities, employers might assume their employment could get expensive. In fact, accommodations for people with disabilities typically cost just $500, according to the Society for Human Resource Management.

Ukrainian troops face a perilous challenge in their continued fight against Russia — land mines. The mines have blighted an area of Ukraine roughly the size of Florida, per The Washington Post. Greg Crowther, the director of programs for the Mines Advisory Group, a nongovernmental organization that aids individuals affected by land mines, told The Post that the mine situation in Ukraine was unlike anything seen in recent decades. The report also detailed the lengths taken by Russian forces to make vast expanses of Ukrainian farmland either too difficult to navigate or effectively unusable. "To date, the Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts remain the most contaminated regions of all the liberated territories, as Russian forces had been present there for a longer period of time," the report says.

The list of companies hit by a cyberattack on a widely used software tool continues to expand and several victims have filed lawsuits alleging mishandling of data. The continued disclosure of new victims affected by hackers exploiting a vulnerability in MoveIt, a common file-transfer tool from Progress Software, underscores how cyberattacks can ripple through supply chains. Some companies have been drawn into data breaches without having used MoveIt because their business partners use it. The Cl0p ransomware group has taken responsibility for the cyberattacks and posted data from some victims on its underground website. A 2021 cyberattack on a tool similar to MoveIt—Accellion’s File Transfer Appliance—had similar ripple effects.

Summary White House readying actions in new corporate sectorsCompetition Council to have fifth meeting on WednesdayIndustry chafes at 'regulatory overreach'WASHINGTON, July 18 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden has created a new role on the National Economic Council (NEC) to tackle anticompetitive business practices, naming NEC member Hannah Garden-Monheit as Director of Competition Council Policy, the White House said on Tuesday. One may be the retail sector, which National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard singled out last October before leaving her job as Federal Reserve vice chair, arguing it had "ample room" to "recompress margins" after COVID-19 price hikes. "Institutionalizing competition policy within the National Economic Council and the White House is another critical step ... to make sure we right the wrongs of failed antitrust enforcement and competition policy enforcement for the last several decades." Columbia University Professor Timothy Wu, who led the White House antitrust push until December, said Biden's decision to create a specific role centered on the competition council reflected its importance. "Creating a White House director of competition policy is a big deal — it cements the White House role in antitrust policy and ensures a lasting impact," he said.

Over the past decade, research has established that hearing loss is one of the biggest risk factors for developing dementia, but it wasn’t clear whether intervening with hearing aids would reduce the risk, he added. In the total group, hearing aids did not appear to reduce cognitive decline, the study said. Why hearing loss may increase dementia riskEveryone’s hearing declines with age, Lin said.
