Women are about twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Some of that is age; in the U.S., women outlive men by five to six years, and advanced age is the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer’s. But there’s more to it than that, so Alzheimer’s researchers continue to look for other reasons why women have an elevated risk of the deadly neurodegenerative disease.

Everyone forgets things at times. How often have you misplaced your cellphone or car keys? Have you ever forgotten the name of a person you just met?

It’s no secret; life is exhausting. After a long day of class or work, it takes everything not to fall asleep as soon as you sit down. A good, healthy nap, when executed correctly, can really turn your day around.

Science tells us that when a cardiac arrest happens, bystander CPR can double or even triple the chances of survival. Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) adults who experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting have a substantially lower chance of receiving bystander CPR. During Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage month in May, the American Heart Association, a global force for healthier lives for all, is asking people to “Be the Beat” for their family and learn Hands-Only CPR.

THE Patriotic Front (PF) has no intention of expelling Robert Chabinga, the Mafinga Member of Parliament for having converted himself into a praise singer of President Hakainde Hichilema and the UPND, Davis Chama has said.

Mr Chama, the PF national chairperson says Mr Chibinga cannot be trusted and that the UPND are making a very mistake by embracing the Mafinga lawmaker because he has exhibited traits of a traitor.

Mr Chama said in interview that the allegations that the party was plotting to expel Mr Chabinga were unfounded and that his conscious was eating him because of his wrong doing.

He said Mr Chabinga had realized that he had crossed the line by demonizing the PF, the party that sponsored him and was trying to invent reasons for his expulsion to gain sympathy from Presi

dent Hichilema and the UPND.

Mr Chama said that Mr Chabinga was basically insulting the PF which he said was unfortunate because the former ruling party sacrificed and sponsored him to contest the Mafinga seat.

Mr Chama said the UPND were shooting themselves in the foot for embracing the Mafinga MP.

“There no plot to expel Mr Chabinga from the PF and as things stand we have not tabled his case in the central committee,” Mr Chama said.

He said it was shocking that Mr Chabinga was campaigning for the UPND with such vigour and even disparaged the people that voted for him in his constituency.

He said that was the reason the country was not developing because of people who did not have any principles.

Mr Chama said it was just a matter of time before his true colours were revealed immediately the tables turned.

He said the UPND were just using Mr Chabinga because they did not trust him looking at how he had betrayed the former ruling party.

Mr Chama said that was surprising was the fact that Mr Chabinga fought through his adoption and people did not expect him to take such a step.

Turkish forces have killed the suspected leader of the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced.

Abu Hussein al-Qurayshi is said to have taken over the group after his predecessor was killed last autumn. Mr Erdogan told broadcaster TRT Turk the IS leader was “neutralised” in a Turkish MIT intelligence agency operation on Saturday. IS has so far made no comment on the reported operation.

The BBC has been unable to independently verify President Erdogan’s claim.

The MIT intelligence agency had been following Qurayshi for a “long time”, Mr Erdogan said. “We will continue our struggle with terrorist organisations without any discrimination,” he added, providing no further details. Syrian sources quoted by Reuters news agency said the operation took place in the northern town of Jandaris, close to the Turkish border. Last November, the jihadist group announced the death of its leader, Abu al-Hassan al-Hashemi al-Qurayshi. The US said he was killed in an operation by the rebel Free Syrian Army in south-west Syria in mid-October 2022.

He took over the group after previous leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi set off a blast killing himself and his family as US special forces rounded on his hideout after a gunfight in February 2022. That operation “removed a major terrorist threat to the world”, US President Joe Biden said at the time.

IS once held 88,000sq km (34,000sq miles) of territory stretching from north-eastern Syria across northern Iraq and imposed its brutal rule on almost eight million people.

IT is strange that President Hakainde Hichilema is unable to hide his disdain and fears that there is a possibility of former President Edgar Lungu returning to active politics and that Zambians should be worried that the head of State has continued with his invectives against his predecessor, Sean Tembo has said.

Mr Tembo, president of the Patriots for Economic Progress (PEF) says it is not in President Hichilema’s place nor his whims to stop former President Lungu from returning to active politics if so ever wished.
