Era of increased mobility requires better protection of migrants' rights, says Ban. 4 November 2009. In an era where people are crossing borders in greater numbers seeking better opportunities, it is more vital than ever that States safeguard the rights of migrants, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told a high-level gathering in Athens today. The prevalence increased over time (mainly driven by Eastern and Southern Africa) and with age. There was no difference between men and women. We estimated that in 2018, there were 8.9 (95% CI: 8.3-9.6) million cases of hypertension in PLHIV globally, among whom 59.2% were living in Sub-Saharan Africa. Conclusion: A blackout happens after a period of excessive drinking or when a big amount of alcohol is consumed. Binge drinking is a significant contributor to this condition. Binge drinking happens when a person consumes enough alcohol to raise their blood alcohol content to 0.08 g/dL, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Fast Money. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily available, renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth - friendly. Two such resources are solar power and geothermal power. Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In the US alone, more than 100, 000 homes are equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily. Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which produces electricity. Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel resources and as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple. A prime example of effective geothermal use in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity where there are over 80 percent of private homes, are heated by geothermal power. Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources. The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on global scale. Danielle DiMartino Booth, chief executive officer and chief strategist of QI Research and a former adviser to the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, discusses the central bank's policy. The Fed’s June meeting is shaping up to be one of the trickiest in its 15-month campaign to tame inflation Chair Jerome Powell seems intent on skipping an interest-rate increase, while explaining to the public that officials aren’t done yet. DiMartino Booth speaks with Yvonne Man on "Bloomberg Markets China Open." Source Bloomberg Retired colonel weighs in on Putin suspending participation in nuclear arms pact with US 0112 - Source CNN CNN — The United States is seeking dialogue with both Russia and China on nuclear arms without preconditions, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in a speech laying out the US approach to decreasing the risk of a nuclear conflict. Sullivan also said that the US is simultaneously working to modernize its nuclear force but not to increase its size. Friday’s speech came as the architecture of nuclear arms control is facing serious threats, with Sullivan warning the world faces an “inflection point” on nuclear stability. China is expanding its nuclear arsenal and the US estimates it could have 1,500 nuclear warheads by 2035 if they continue to expand their stockpile at the current pace. And Russia suspended its participation in the New START Treaty earlier this year, the last nuclear arms control agreement between the world’s two largest nuclear arsenals. “We’re entering a new era, one that demands new strategies and solutions to achieve the goals we’ve always had prevent an arms race, reduce the risk of misperception and escalation and most importantly, ensure the safety and security of our people and people around the world from nuclear threats,” Sullivan said on Friday at the Arms Control Association. Even as China is growing its nuclear arsenal, Sullivan said the US does not need to engage in an arms race with Beijing. “The United States does not need to increase our nuclear forces to outnumber the combined total of our competitors in order to successfully deter them,” Sullivan said, adding that the US will stick to the nuclear warhead limits that the US and Russia have agreed to “as long as Russia does” However, Sullivan did not count out the possibility of that assessment changing. “We believe in the current context, we have the number and type of capabilities today that we need. I can’t speak to every context and contingency way out into the future. But as things stand today we believe that we have what we need,” Sullivan said. The New START Treaty, which the US has said Russia is not complying with and has suspended its participation, is set to expire in February 2026. And while Russia has recently engaged in nuclear saber-rattling as it continues its war in Ukraine, Sullivan said that even during times of conflict historically the US and Russia have engaged on nuclear arms control discussions. But Sullivan said Friday that China’s opaque nuclear build up will shape what any future agreement with Russia on nuclear arms would look like. “The type of limits the United States can agree to after the Treaty expires will of course, be impacted by the size and scale of China’s nuclear buildup,” Sullivan said. He spoke of the US efforts to modernize its nuclear forces, noting that “these modernization efforts will ensure our deterrence capabilities remain secure and strong as we head into the 2030s when the United States will need to deter two near-peer nuclear powers for the first time in its history.” He explained that updating the US deterrence plans hinges on current effort to modernize “each part” of the US nuclear triad as well as investing in nonnuclear capabilities such as cyberspace and space tools that give the US an “advantage across every domain.” The US is also seeking engagement across the board – with both allies and adversaries – to prevent nuclear conflict. While there are current agreements in place with the five nuclear weapon states – the US, Russia, China, the UK and France who are collectively known as the P5 – Sullivan called those agreements “limited” saying “we can do more.” “The P5 provides an opportunity to manage Nuclear Risk and arms race pressures through a mix of dialogue, transparency, and agreements,” Sullivan said, adding that the US will work to set new norms and values in the new nuclear era. When it comes to China, so far the country has resisted regular diplomatic engagement with the US broadly, including engagement on arms control. Sullivan said it would be a “responsible” move and a “bold decision” for China to come to the table. “It’s our hope that among the topics on the table for diplomatic discussion, Beijing will be willing to include substantive engagement on strategic nuclear issues, which would benefit the security of both of our countries and the security of the entire world,” Sullivan said.

BÀI DỊCH Trong thời kỳ tăng nóng lên toàn cầu và giảm nguồn cung cấp nhiên liệu hóa thạch, chúng ta phải bắt đầu đặt ưu tiên lớn hơn vào khai thác các nguồn năng lượng thay thế. May mắn thay, có một số tài nguyên có sẵn, tái tạo sẵn có hiệu quả về chi phí và thân thiện với trái đất. Hai nguồn tài nguyên như vậy là năng lượng mặt trời và năng lượng địa nhiệt. Năng lượng mặt trời, đạt tới trái đất thông qua ánh sáng mặt trời, rất dồi dào đến nỗi nó có thể đáp ứng nhu cầu tiêu thụ năng lượng trên toàn thế giới gấp lần. Và năng lượng mặt trời dễ dàng khai thác thông qua việc sử dụng các tế bào quang điện chuyển đổi ánh sáng mặt trời thành điện năng. Chỉ tính riêng ở Mỹ, hơn ngôi nhà được trang bị hệ thống điện mặt trời dưới dạng tấm pin mặt trời hoặc tấm lợp mặt trời. Và ở các nơi khác trên thế giới, bao gồm nhiều nước đang phát triển, việc sử dụng hệ thống năng lượng mặt trời đang phát triển đều đặn. Một nguồn năng lượng thay thế khác, rất phong phú ở các khu vực địa lý cụ thể, là năng lượng địa nhiệt, tạo ra năng lượng bằng cách khai thác nhiệt từ dưới bề mặt trái đất. Nước nóng và hơi nước bị mắc kẹt trong các bể ngầm được bơm lên bề mặt và được sử dụng để chạy một máy phát điện, tạo ra điện. Năng lượng địa nhiệt rộng hơn lần so với toàn bộ nguồn cung cấp nhiên liệu hóa thạch đã biết. Và như với năng lượng mặt trời, công nghệ cần thiết để sử dụng năng lượng địa nhiệt khá đơn giản. Một ví dụ điển hình về việc sử dụng địa nhiệt hiệu quả ở Iceland, một khu vực có hoạt động địa nhiệt cao, nơi hơn 80% nhà riêng được làm nóng bằng năng lượng địa nhiệt. Năng lượng mặt trời và địa nhiệt chỉ là hai lựa chọn thay thế có khả năng tái tạo đầy hứa hẹn cho các nguồn năng lượng thông thường. Thời gian là quá hạn để đầu tư vào sự phát triển và sử dụng năng lượng thay thế trên quy mô toàn cầu. Summary Approximately 106 million people worldwide develop tuberculosis each year, representing a failure in epidemic control that is accentuated by the absence of effective vaccines to prevent infection or disease in adolescents and adults. Without effective vaccines, tuberculosis prevention has relied on testing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and treating with antibiotics to prevent progression to tuberculosis disease, known as tuberculosis preventive treatment TPT. Novel tuberculosis vaccines are in development and phase 3 efficacy trials are imminent. The development of effective, shorter, and safer TPT regimens has broadened the groups eligible for TPT beyond people with HIV and child contacts of people with tuberculosis; future vaccine trials will be undertaken in an era of increased TPT access. Changes in the prevention standard will have implications for tuberculosis vaccine trials of disease prevention, for which safety and sufficient accrual of cases are crucial. In this paper, we examine the urgent need for trials that allow the evaluation of new vaccines and fulfil the ethical duty of researchers to provide TPT. We observe how HIV vaccine trials have incorporated preventive treatment in the form of pre-exposure prophylaxis, propose trial designs that integrate TPT, and summarise considerations for each design in terms of trial validity, efficiency, participant safety, and ethics.
