08:03 | 17 Tetor 2026 Koloneli amerikan Jabari Miller, i cili ka marrë drejtimin e Komandës Rajonale-Lindje të misionit të KFOR-it, ka deklaruar se ushtarët amerikanë janë të gatshëm të bashkëpunojnë me aleatët dhe partnerët e NATO-s për të garantuar një mjedis të sigurt dhe të qëndrueshëm në Kosovë.“Ushtarët tanë janë në formë të mirë fizike, të motivuar, të disiplinuar, të trajnuar dhe të gatshëm të punojnë së bashku me aleatët dhe partnerët tanë të NATO-s për të ruajtur një mjedis të sigurt dhe të qëndrueshëm në Kosovë”, ka deklaruar Miller për revistën ushtarake “Stripes”.Deklarata e Millerit vjen pas marrjes së komandës së Komandës Rajonale-Lindje të KFOR-it nga ushtarët amerikanë të Regjimentit të Dytë të Kalorësisë dhe njësive mbështetëse të Divizionit të Parë të Këmbësorisë, me seli në Gjermani. Sipas një njoftimi të Ushtrisë Amerikane për Evropën dhe Afrikën, ceremonia e ndërrimit të komandës u mbajt të hënën në kampin Bondsteel, në Kosovë.Trupat amerikane në detyrë aktive e morën komandën nga Brigada e 53-të e Këmbësorisë e Gardës Kombëtare të Floridës. Ky ndryshim shënon rikthimin e ushtarëve amerikanë në detyrë aktive në udhëheqjen e kësaj komande, për herë të parë që nga shtatori i vitit 2014.Ndërkaq, zëdhënësi i komandës, rreshteri i shtabit Hunter Tate, ka bërë të ditur se vendimi për ndryshimin e udhëheqjes është marrë për shkak të “disponueshmërisë aktuale të forcave dhe nevojave të misionit”.

Frigul din casele românilor: economisirea căldurii de teama facturilor mari

A venit frigul atât afară, cât și în case. Deși în multe zone din țară temperaturile au scăzut considerabil, oamenii amână să pornească centralele, de teama facturilor foarte mari. „Deocamdată, mai stăm îmbrăcați”, spun cei mai mulți dintre ei.Temperaturile au scăzut brusc în această săptămână, dar oamenii încă evită să dea drumul la căldură, ca să facă economie.„Mai stăm îmbrăcați, mai... Am trening, îl iau pe mine. Noaptea e plapuma”, spune un domn.„Nu am pornit încă, dar e foarte frig. Cred că luna viitoare dăm drumul. În casă sunt 19 grade acum. Facem economie, că o să fie scump”, mărturisește cineva.„Economie, da. Deocamdată, mai stăm îmbrăcați”, completează altcineva.„Afară sunt doar 10 grade Celsius, iar temperaturile din locuințe încep să scadă. Cei care vor să aibă peste 20 de grade Celsius în casă deja trebuie să pornească centrala”, transmite jurnalistul Digi24, Bianca Venter.Cei care nu pot să reziste frigului au găsit o cale de mijloc. Folosesc încălzirea doar în anumite momente ale zilei.„Acuma nu merge în continuu. Seara un pic, dimineața la fel și e ok. Poate se mai îndreaptă timpul”, speră o doamnă.„Am dat drumul dimineața și seara, ca să fie la 20, 20 și ceva. Decât să dăm banii pe medicamente, dăm drumul la centrală”, spune o altă doamnă.„Sigur viața va fi mai scumpă și nivelul de stres pe gospodărie va crește. Soluțiile vechi și de demult, fie sporesc veniturile, să-și reducă cheltuielile, să-și reconsidere cheltuielile, atât ca și dimensiune, cât și ca specificații, să vezi de unde mai lasă”, spune Dacian Palladi, consultant în afaceri.Potrivit Eurostat, aproape 15% dintre gospodăriile din România aveau restanțe la plata facturilor de utilități în 2024, de două ori mai mult decât media europeană.reporter: Bianca Venteroperator: Dan Dascălu Editor : Izabela Zaharia

Finalmente, De la Espriella calificó el trabajo de los uniformados como una labor histórica para recuperar el control frente a la criminalidad. “Y ese cáncer tenemos que combatirlo por la razón o por la fuerza”, afirmó, al reiterar su respaldo a la ofensiva estatal contra las organizaciones delictivas.

Brooklyn Store Defends Itself Amid Kelly Clarkson Feud Over $15,000 Mechanical Bird

See more of our coverage in your search results. The Brooklyn shop feuding with Kelly Clarkson over its $15,000 mechanical bird is trying to connect with the singer.“They have not heard from Kelly but have reached out via multiple channels,” a source in the Art of Play neighborhood exclusively told Page Six.While the store waits to hear back from the “American Idol” winner, it certainly has locals in its corner following the drama.“They’ve experienced such an outpouring of support from neighbors and visitors to the store,” the source said. “Anyone who stops by can plainly see. Other businesses have dropped off gift bags and sent flowers.”The Brooklyn store that found itself in a feud with Kelly Clarkson has tried to reach out to the singer, a source told Page Six. (Art of Play co-owner Adam Rubin is seen above on Oct. 13) Gregory P. Mango for NY PostClarkson (shown above during promotion for “The Voice”) accused the store of being rude to her during a visit last weekend. Trae Patton/NBC via Getty Images“They have gotten nothing but love in real life. The hatred continues online, but they stopped looking days ago,” the source continued.The store — which sells items like collectible playing cards, puzzles, games and other whimsical home goods — has experienced a boom in interest since making headlines with Clarkson.“They have absolutely been seeing increased foot traffic with many people coming just to take a selfie with Molly,” a regular customer said of the mechanical bird at the center of the drama.Prior to the national attention from the “Voice” coach, the store was already a staple for wealthy visitors.“They get the same repeat customers all of the time,” the shopper said. “It’s always busy. Everything is delicate.”A regular customer told Page Six that the store (shown above) has wealthy clients. Gregory P. Mango for NY Post“They’ve experienced such an outpouring of support from neighbors and visitors to the store,” a source said of Art of Play, shown above. AP Photo/Yuki IwamuraClarkson called out store staffers in an X rant last weekend, claiming that she was treated like Julia Roberts’ character in “Pretty Woman” during her visit.“Just drove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I thought looked really rad and had a few things in mind to buy and literally was looked at as if I couldn’t afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me,” she wrote in the post.“Wow, dude. You’re an idiot and just lost a huge sale. But y’all should go check out Art of Play in Brooklyn if you enjoy being treated like Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman. For sure, check it out 👎,” she added.After taking heat from Clarkson’s fanbase, the store owners responded in a statement, explaining that Clarkson inquired about purchasing a large mechanical bird named “Molly” that wasn’t for sale.Clarkson had initially inquired about a mechanical bird named Molly (shown above) on display at the store. Gregory P. Mango for NY PostThe bird had a $15,000 price tag when Clarkson visited, but it has since been increased to $15,000,000, as seen above. Gregory P. Mango for NY PostClarkson fired back in a follow-up post accusing the store of lying.“Cool, cool. Sure, it wasn’t for sale. That’s the narrative Art of Play is gonna go with 👍,” she wrote on X. “So the whole conversation we had when I asked you if it was for sale whilst pointing to the price tag hanging on the wall with the title Singing Bird didn’t happen as you elevator eyed me saying in a condescending tone ‘yes, it’s for sale but it costs 15,000 dollars so if you’d like me to find something comparable for you I can.'”“That all never happened and now it’s not for sale. Okay, cool. So you’re not only rude, you’re also a liar. Got it ✅.”She also shared a photo of the feathered automaton next to what appeared to be a $15,000 price tag.Store co-owner Adam Rubin exclusively spoke with Page Six this week to break down his employees’ version of events. Clarkson (seen here in 2023) accused the store of treating her like Julia Roberts’ character in “Pretty Woman.” Getty Images for iHeartRadioThe singer (seen here in 2025) also accused the store of lying about their interaction. Art Streiber/NBC via Getty Images“She did not take out her Black Card and try to buy the thing off the wall. She was not told no, she was not told to leave,” Rubin said.“She asked about the bird. It’s on the wall, and attached permanently. It was explained to her that it’s a complicated situation to get these things made,” he continued. “They take years. There’s one guy that makes them, and if we have seriously interested buyers, then we talk to the artist and try to work something out.”Instead, Rubin claimed his employee asked if the “Since U Been Gone” artist wanted to view a similar automaton priced at $2,000.“It’s just like [a] he-said, she-said thing, right?” Rubin said. “So she’s going to say one thing, I’m going to say another thing. The point of it is, nothing happened in the shop that was so dramatic that it’s worth throwing a Molotov cocktail into a mom-and-pop business.”Reps for Clarkson did not immediately return requests for comment.Rubin accused Clarkson of wielding her celebrity status to publicly attack a small business, claiming that he and his staffers were subsequently inundated with hateful messages.Clarkson (seen here in 2024) roasted the store on X last weekend. GC ImagesThe store has received a flood of hate mail since Clarkson (seen here in 2023) went on her rant, the store owner told Page Six. GC ImagesThe pop star was seen shopping in the store in leaked security footage obtained by the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast, seen above. Pablo Torre Finds OutRubin noted that no one in the store recognized Clarkson and that she was treated just like any other customer. He also said that, despite their feud, she is welcome back in his store anytime.Leaked security footage from Clarkson’s visit showed the “Breakaway” singer, dressed casually in a baseball cap and oversized tee, browsing the shop for less than five minutes before appearing to scold staffers and storm out.Page Six reached out to Art of Play for further comment.

One in Four US Public School Teachers Consider Quitting Amid Low Job Satisfaction New

One in Four US Public School Teachers Consider Quitting Amid Low Job Satisfaction

See more of our coverage in your search results. A class of their own.One in four US public school teachers said they are likely to quit within the next year — as only a third of them feel appreciated, according to a concerning new survey. Just 35% of K-12 educators say they “matter a great deal” at their school, while almost one in five (19%) say they don’t matter much or at all, according to a report released Wednesday by the Walton Family Foundation, Gallup, and the Mattering Institute.Among those teachers who feel like they don’t matter, more than two-thirds (68%) described themselves as frequently burned out, and fewer than half planned to remain in education, the survey found.Teachers at private, independent, or charter schools, meanwhile, were far more likely than their public school counterparts to believe they matter a great deal. Only a third of public school teachers feel they “matter a great deal,” a new survey found. Ivan – stock.adobe.comEducators who teach special education were also more likely than those teaching other subjects to feel they matter a great deal.Age was also a major factor in job satisfaction among teachers.Almost half (47%) of teachers 60 or older said they mattered a great deal, compared with 31-to-34% among younger age groups.An astonishing one in four public school teachers said they were either very (12%) or somewhat (13%) likely to leave their current job within the next year.Just over half (52%) of educators said they plan to remain in the classroom for the rest of their careers, while 12% said they don’t plan to remain in the profession and 24% said they were unsure.The study found that those teachers who felt like they mattered were far more likely to say they wanted to stay in the field throughout their careers. Half of educators plan to quit the profession. Framestock – stock.adobe.comOver a third (41%) of educators with low investment scores said they were likely to leave, compared with 24% with moderate scores and just 12% with high investment scores.“The findings of our study reveal a troubling gap,” said The Mattering Institute founder Jennifer Wallace.“Too few of America’s K–12 educators feel they truly matter. But they also point to a path forward, with simple, research-backed practices that school leaders, parents and communities can use to help educators feel valued, supported, and able to see the difference they make,” she went on.“The people who help our children know they matter deserve to know they matter, too,” Wallace added.

Maryland Man Sues Novo Nordisk After Ozempic Use Leads to Legal Blindness New

Maryland Man Sues Novo Nordisk After Ozempic Use Leads to Legal Blindness

Published 11:33 16 Oct 2026 GMT+1"I wake up in the dark, I go to sleep in the darkness".Weight loss medications are all the rage right now, but the tale of Todd Engel may put a few customers off products like Ozempic.From the US state of Maryland, the 63-year-old retired truck driver is now legally blind after being prescribed Ozempic to treat his diabetes back in 2023. Panicked terror was just around the corner, as four months into his usage of the GLP-1 drug, Engel's vision in his right eye ceased to exist. "I first noticed it on New Year's Eve, 2024," he told Fox News Digital. "I had just gotten out of the shower, was getting ready to go to work and I said to [wife] Shelley, 'I can't see in my right eye. It's totally black. It's totally dark in my right eye'. I was horrified. I was very, very upset that I couldn't see."AdvertHaving sought out testing at The John Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute, he was subsequently diagnosed with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), otherwise known as an 'eye stroke'.This life-changing condition can cause sudden and permanent loss of vision, yet Engel nor the doctors were aware of any association between Ozempic's chemical contents and NAION, so he continued taking it. Weight loss jabs such as Ozempic are primarily used to treat diabetes patients (Getty Stock Images)10 months later, the same thing happened to his left eye. "At that point in time, losing sight in both eyes, there was a tremendous amount of concern," reflected Engel. "I didn't go blind — I had my vision taken from me, which was catastrophic to me and to my family". Due to his health, he was forced to stop working for Howard County Highways. "I was extremely mechanically inclined with my hands and in my mind. I can't do that anymore, which is extremely upsetting to me," Engel noted."People want to be able to retire on their own accord when they want to, not when a medical catastrophic injury such as this takes away your livelihood."Tragically, surgery isn't an option to restore his eyesight. "I will never be able to see my wife's beautiful face again, be able to see children and grandchildren, be able to play ball with them," he tragically lamented."I wake up in the dark, I go to sleep in the darkness."Had I known, had my doctor had any inkling that this could have happened... I'm sure he would have asked me and I would have said: 'Absolutely not. I will deal with the diabetes. I refuse to jeopardise my eyes.'"Todd Engel's life has dramatically changed after being prescribed Novo Nordisk's product (Fox News)Danish manufacturer Novo Nordisk is now being sued by the Engel family, alleging that the firm did not warn patients and doctors about the potential health risks connected to its product, Ozempic. In response, Global Head and AVP for Novo, Ambre James-Brown shared in a statement obtained by LADbible: "We recognise that vision loss can have a profound impact on patients and their families."Patient safety is a top priority for Novo, and we take all reports of adverse events seriously. We care deeply about the wellbeing of people who take our medicines and collaborate closely with health authorities and regulatory bodies worldwide. "Semaglutide has a well-established safety profile, supported by robust clinical development programs, with exposure from post-marketing use of over 58 million patient-years across oral and injectable formulations in obesity and type 2 diabetes."Semaglutide has the largest post-marketing exposure among GLP-1-based therapies, providing substantial experience across diverse patient populations. We recommend that all patients maintain close contact with their healthcare professional for proper diagnosis, appropriate treatment, ongoing guidance, and careful monitoring. Novo believes the personal injury lawsuits filed in the US are without merit and we are defending them in court."Featured Image Credit: Nick Hennen/Motley RiceTopics: Ozempic, Health, US News

9 Surprising Ways Context Shapes Our Memories New

9 Surprising Ways Context Shapes Our Memories

1. Why the Setting Influences What We RememberThe environment in which we learn or experience something plays a crucial role in how well we recall it. Known as context-dependent memory, this phenomenon suggests that our surroundings can serve as cues, triggering the retrieval of information. For example, students often find it easier to recall study material in the same room where they learned it. This is because the physical context can become intertwined with the memory itself, aiding in its recall.2. How Mood Acts as a Memory FilterOur emotional state can significantly affect what we remember. When we're happy, we're more likely to recall positive events, while sadness tends to bring negative memories to the forefront. This is called mood-congruent memory. It's fascinating how our current emotions can act like a filter, highlighting memories that match our mood, which can sometimes distort our perception of past events.3. The Role of Scent in Memory RecallScents have a powerful link to memory, often triggering vivid recollections. This is due to the olfactory bulb's direct connection to the brain's limbic system, which is associated with emotion and memory. A whiff of a familiar perfume or the smell of fresh-baked bread can instantly transport you to a specific time and place, demonstrating how scents can serve as potent memory triggers.4. The Impact of Social Context on Memory FormationThe people around us during an event can influence how we remember it. Social interactions and shared experiences can enhance memory recall, as we often discuss and reinforce these memories with others. Conversely, if we learn something in isolation, it might not embed as deeply. This social reinforcement helps solidify memories, making them more vivid and long-lasting.5. How Stress Alters Memory AccuracyStress can significantly affect how memories are formed and recalled. Under stress, the brain releases hormones that can either impair or enhance memory, depending on the situation. While moderate stress might help focus and improve memory retention, chronic stress can lead to fragmented or distorted memories. This dual effect shows how stress can both sharpen and blur our recollections.6. Why Memories Can Change Over TimeMemories aren't static; they can evolve with time and new experiences. Each time we recall a memory, it becomes susceptible to alteration based on current knowledge and beliefs. This reconstructive process can lead to changes in the memory's details, demonstrating how our perception of past events is often a blend of actual experiences and current interpretations.7. The Power of Visual Context in MemoryVisual cues can greatly enhance memory recall. Seeing an object or a photograph associated with a specific memory can trigger a cascade of related recollections. This is because visual information is processed rapidly by the brain and often stored with rich detail, making it a powerful tool for memory retrieval. This is why visual aids are frequently used in educational settings.8. How Time of Day Affects Memory RetentionThe time of day can influence how well we remember things. Research suggests that our cognitive abilities, including memory, can fluctuate with our circadian rhythms. For many people, memory retention is stronger in the morning when the brain is fresh, while others might find their memory sharpest in the evening. Understanding your personal rhythm can help optimize learning and recall.9. The Role of Repetition in Strengthening MemoriesRepetition is a key factor in solidifying memories. Repeated exposure to information or experiences reinforces neural pathways, making it easier to recall the memory later. This is why practices like spaced repetition are effective for learning, as they allow the brain to strengthen these connections gradually over time, leading to more durable and accessible memories.

Mamá de Sergio Barros exige justicia tras su asesinato mientras llevaba granizado a su ex New

Mamá de Sergio Barros exige justicia tras su asesinato mientras llevaba granizado a su ex

La muerte de Sergio Isaac Barros Medina, el joven de 19 años asesinado cuando habría acudido a llevarle unos granizados a su expareja sentimental, continúa dejando interrogantes y dolor entre sus familiares. Diez días después de los hechos, su madre, Marenly Medina, rompió el silencio para exigir justicia y expresar el sufrimiento que enfrenta desde la pérdida de su hijo. “Mi corazón y mi alma no tienen paz”, manifestó la mujer durante una entrevista con el medio Código Rojo, en la que habló sobre las circunstancias que rodearon el crimen ocurrido en el barrio de Los Girasoles, entre los límites de Barranquilla y Soledad, Atlántico. Según el relato conocido, Sergio compartía unos granizados con varios amigos cuando recibió mensajes de texto de su expareja, identificada por su madre como Sarah. El joven se dirigió hasta la vivienda de su ex. Sin embargo, al llegar, habría sido atacado con un cuchillo en el cuello por la actual pareja sentimental de ella, una agresión que le causó la muerte. La madre de la víctima aseguró que todavía no logra comprender lo sucedido, especialmente por la reacción que, según su versión, habría tenido la joven después del ataque. Marenly Medina recordó que mantenía una relación cercana con la expareja de su hijo, a quien consideraba como una hija y con quien, incluso, había cultivado una amistad. Por eso, dijo que le resulta difícil entender por qué la joven habría salido corriendo junto al presunto agresor mientras Sergio permanecía gravemente herido, sin que ella lo defendiera. De acuerdo con la información conocida, el joven señalado de cometer el crimen ya fue identificado y se presentó ante la Fiscalía acompañado de su abogado. Además, habría cumplido 18 años apenas cuatro días antes de los hechos. La madre de Sergio aseguró que el señalado permanece en libertad, presuntamente en medio de versiones diferentes sobre lo ocurrido. Mientras avanzan las actuaciones correspondientes, la familia espera que las autoridades esclarezcan las circunstancias del homicidio y determinen las responsabilidades penales.

Misterio resuelto: joven hallada en Medellín no es Alexandrith, es Neiviluz New

Misterio resuelto: joven hallada en Medellín no es Alexandrith, es Neiviluz

La desaparición de Alexandrith Sarmiento Arroyo, en la tarde del 19 de marzo del 2021, en una playa de Punta Canoa, norte de Cartagena, se ha convertido en uno de los misterios más grandes en la ciudad. Tenía 15 años cuando salió de su casa en Bayunca, a bordo de la moto que conducía el marido de su tía, Wainer Ayola, y minutos después de estar en la playa desapareció. El tío político, meses después fue capturado y hoy se encuentra condenado a 42 años de prisión por desaparición forzada. Esta historia ha tenido varios capítulos que van desde la incansable búsqueda de su familia y las autoridades; el silencio de Wainer quien a la fecha sigue asegurando desconocer el paradero de Alexandrith, que ya tendría 20 años; hasta la visita de las autoridades cartageneras en México, donde se presume pudo haber sido llevada por una red de trata de personas. Ahora surge otro capítulo. En la tarde del reciente jueves 15 de octubre, a través de las redes sociales se hizo viral la imagen de una joven en condición de calle, en la ciudad de Medellín. La chica contó que era de Cartagena, pero no recordaba a su familia y llamó grandemente la atención el parecido físico con Alexandrith por lo que de inmediato comenzaron las comparaciones. Este medio habló con Alexander Sarmiento, padre de Alexandrith, y este expresó que “me han mandado la imagen varias veces, me han dicho muchas cosas de ella y yo guardo la esperanza de encontrar a mi hija. Desde que vi esa foto no he podido dormir bien, por lo que necesito que las autoridades de Cartagena y Medellín digan algo, hagan algo, que busquen a esa chica y le hagan exámenes. Yo no pierdo la fe de encontrar a mi niña”. Alexander, quien no ha descansado un solo día en la búsqueda de su hija, pide a las autoridades de Medellín que le practiquen exámenes a la joven en condición de calle ya que necesita confirmar o descartar oficialmente si es su pequeña. Este medio también conoció que una mujer, en Cartagena, reconoció a la joven en condición de calle y aseguró, a través de su Facebook, ser familiar de ella, descartó que se trate de Alexandrith. “Aclaración, no es Alexandrith, es mi hermana de nombre Neiviluz Barrios Barrios, de 19 años. Desde que murió su mejor amiga cayó en una depresión muy fuerte y desde ahí se perdió en las drogas. A los que me están criticando les pido empatía, nadie sabe lo que uno vive como familia. Mi mamá nunca ha sido una madre presente, yo como su hermana mayor soy la que está al pendiente de mis hermanos. Yo la he ayudado mucho, hasta la interné, la he buscado todos estos días que ha estado perdida y no sabía que estaba en Medellín y he hecho todo para que ella pueda cambiar , pero hay cosas que se salen de nuestras manos cuando una persona no quiere recibir ayuda”, dijo la hermana. Añadió que “si alguien la ve en Medellín o conoce su paradero, llame al número 3001774812. Toda mi solidaridad y respeto para la familia de Alexandrith, su caso es diferente y merece mucho respeto”.
