A new proposal to cull the creatures has created a dilemma for the national parks authority, South African National Parks. As a responsible custodian, it has urged that “decisive action is required” to safeguard the survival of the rich diversity of life forms in South African wildlife reserves. The culling of elephants, it argues, is needed as a precautionary measure to avert local species’ extinctions in future. “A decision on the use of culling as a legitimate option for management of elephants,” the park managers said back in 2005, “should not be delayed beyond March 2006....

It is a well-known fact that “The Big Show” Paul Wright is a big fan of the Destiny game franchise and an enthusiastic Destiny player, having served on the Destiny 2 panel at E3 last year.

In the letter to Dr. Rochelle Walensky dated December 21, Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian joined the airline’s chief health officer Henry Ting and medical advisor Carlos Del Rio in calling for the isolation period to be reduced from 10 days to just five.

Delta emerged in October 2020 in India and its high transmissibility has hindered other variants’ ability to spread. Despite the mutation’s hold over parts of the world, the World Health Organization (WHO) is tracking at least 14 other variants that emerged since Delta was discovered—and it’s likely that additional ones will develop over time. Variants occur whenever a virus is given the room to mutate. So, as long as the virus is circulating, there’s potential for new variants to emerge....

What Impact Does Dementia Have on ADLs? Alzheimer’s disease and other kinds of dementia often make performing ADLs difficult. Tasks may be done halfway, poorly or not at all. For example, while some people with dementia appear as if there’s nothing wrong with them, others look disheveled and may wear dirty, mismatching clothes. A person’s ability to perform ADLs is often evaluated when assessing their cognitive functioning. Since dementia is typically a progressive condition, the ability to perform ADLs declines over time....

“Boo Boo” clapped his hands in frustration, placed his palms flat on the table, got up and yelled to make sure his message was received. “Just do your job, do your job! Tell everybody, ‘Canelo, GGG, that’s it!’” he said early Sunday morning, putting the onus on the media to help force a fight between himself and either middleweight superstar. “There’s nothing more I could say.
