Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked with a hammer at the couple’s home in San Francisco

World Hot Topics Blog : Washington CNN  — 

Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked with a hammer at the couple’s home in San Francisco by a male assailant early Friday morning, law enforcement sources tell CNN.

The assailant who attacked Paul Pelosi was searching for the speaker of the House, according to a source briefed on the attack. The intruder confronted the speaker’s husband in their San Francisco home shouting “Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?” according to the source.

Pelosi, 82, was hospitalized but is expected to make a full recovery, the Democratic speaker’s office said in a statement.

The US Capitol Police released a statement saying that they are assisting the FBI and the San Francisco Police “with a joint investigation” into the break-in at the Pelosi residence in California.

The statement provides further information on how law enforcement responded, saying that special agents with the USCP’s California Field Office “quickly arrived on scene, while a team of investigators from the Department’s Threat Assessment Section was simultaneously dispatched from the East Coast to assist the FBI and the San Francisco Police with a joint investigation.”

Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Nancy Pelosi, said the assailant is in custody and a motive is being investigated. The speaker was in Washington at the time of the attack, a spokesperson said.

“The Speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time,” Hammill said in his statement.

The assailant entered the Pelosi residence through the back of the house, according two sources familiar with the early details of the incident.

With Speaker Pelosi away, there would not have been a security detail at the residence, according to one source familiar with protocol.

There may be video that US Capitol Police and law enforcement can review as there are security cameras at the home, according to two law enforcement sources.

President Joe Biden spoke with Speaker Pelosi, the White House said.

“The President is praying for Paul Pelosi and for Speaker Pelosi’s whole family. This morning he called Speaker Pelosi to express his support after this horrible attack,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.

She continued: “He is also very glad that a full recovery is expected. The President continues to condemn all violence, and asks that the family’s desire for privacy be respected.”

Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell said in a tweet on Friday he is “horrified and disgusted” by the reports that Pelosi was assaulted in his home.

“Grateful to hear that Paul is on track to make a full recovery and that law enforcement including our stellar Capitol Police are on the case,” the Kentucky Republican said.

The Pelosis have been married since 1963 and have five children.

World Hot Topics Blog : Best Comments on What is your most replayed video game?

Readers reveal the non-multiplayer games they’ve completed the most, from Into The Breach to Final Fantasy 7.

The subject for this week’s Hot Topic was suggested by reader Chevy Malibu (PSN ID), and while technically you could nominate a multiplayer game, we were more interested in games you come back to every few years to play through again.

To our surprise (and approval) XCOM 2 was by far the most popular pick, in fact we’ve seldom known a Hot Topic to be so dominated by a single game. Especially as many of the other choices were also turn-based strategies.

In deep
There’s never been an easier question to answer: it’s XCOM 2. I’ve played XCOM: Enemy Unknown a lot as well, and did a few run troughs of Enemy Within, but it’s XCOM 2 by a mile.

I have the platinum for XCOM 2 on PlayStation 4. Just getting that achievement took a ridiculous amount of playing time. That’s beside the fact I also own it on Xbox and Switch and have put in Sisyphean numbers on both those systems.

PlayStation a few years ago did a year end wrap where you could see your most played game, etc. I had 140 hours in that year and that wasn’t the platinum run year, I only started that in lockdown.

I’m way past addicted.

Hard achievement
My most replayed game would have to be Into The Breach. It’s roguelike nature lends itself to repeated runs, as you keep playing to finish a run and then try further runs to unlock new squads and unlock the in-game achievements. It’s weird to think that at first, I didn’t click with the game but then returned to it a couple of years later and now it is firmly my favourite indie game of all time.

I have put 60 hours into it on Switch which I know isn’t a lot for some people but for me to spend that much time with one game is unusual and I still have a few achievements to get. This is all without touching the new free DLC expansion either. I want to try and get all the in-game achievements before starting the DLC and I’m nearly there, just beating the game on Hard difficulty is the one to allude me so far.

It is quite a simple game to get your head around on easy but there is lots of strategy to consider on medium and hard difficulties, however it is easy to pick up and play if you have been away from the game for a while, so it’s one I like to return to every now and then for a few runs.

Now playing: God Of War (PS5) and Tinykin (Steamdeck)

Turn-based triumvirate
Turn-based strategies have practically ruined gaming for me. The holy trinity of Advance Wars, Into The Breach, and XCOM (especially 2) are so utterly compelling, with no two play throughs the same, that many other games I could be investing time into get side-lined. Astral Chain, Metroid Dread, and countless PlayStation 4 games, including Elden Ring, have suffered this fate.

While mentally taxing, Into The Breach is perfect after a hard day’s work, when you just want to wind down. I’ve played it so much that it’s left an almost ruinous ghostly image on my 65” OLED television.

I’ve played the Super Mario Galaxy games multiple times over. Their sheer inventiveness, staggering amount of variety, perfect gameplay mechanics, and utter joyousness make them masterclasses of form. Games so immersive that the barrier between reality and virtuality dissolves: you flow into and with them. In that space, of that time and physics, you really are Mario, you really are in another world.

However, second to the above trio, is the Splatoon series. A game that keeps on giving; it’s a real blast, as they say.
Ciara

Losing count

My game is XCOM 2, both the base game and the War Of The Chosen DLC. I first bought it on the PlayStation 4 and then the Switch. I must have played it six or seven times, frankly I’ve lost count.

It’s one of those few games that get close to perfection. The research and design of alien tech, an atmosphere of tension that’s up there with the Souls games, varied missions and you can just tell the thought and imagination put into it.

The original
There’s a few games I revisit fairly frequently, but the one I’ve overall probably spent the most time with is UFO: Enemy Unknown (the original XCOM game).

The main factor for replay ability is the research tree, allowing you to go different ways with the weapons and therefore tactics in the squad turn-based combat (the meat of the game). The time unit system is also a big factor – unlike most games of the genre, you can do multiple varied actions (or just the same one many times) with one character in a turn.

Each action costs time units, which are replenished at the beginning of the next turn. At the beginning of the game with rookies you don’t feel the benefit of this system so much, but with each mission, as long as the squad members play at least a small part in the mission and stay alive, their TU maximum will often increase – along with your action possibilities.

The excellent pixel art graphics and MIDI music do evoke nostalgia in me, but it’s the core gaming mechanics, which in some ways haven’t been bettered almost 30 years later, that are the big draw for me to keep coming back to it. The excellent open source OpenXcom fan project, which squashes original bugs and adds new quality of life features, also makes it very accessible today, blunting some of the flaws that could otherwise cause me to play it less often.

What makes a game replayable is a difficult question. The other games I replay all have different reasons. Zelda 2, I still adore the fast paced combat of. Prince Of Persia is a mix of nostalgia (my first ever game) and the strict momentum-based platforming, which remains very fresh. Breath Of Fire 3 has a unique ‘master’ system where you can push your character’s stats in the direction you prefer, allowing for varied team compositions.

Chrono Trigger has an excellent New Game+ system that allows you to totally break the game. I don’t think there’s a single answer to what makes a game replayable, there’s lots of possibilities that can keep you engaged with the game.

I don’t specifically consider it an important feature; replayability is cool, but sometimes I just want to play a point ‘n’ click game, like the recent Return To Monkey Island – I very much enjoyed it, will likely not play it for a long time, but consider my money well spent for the experience.

In the same way there are many games I wouldn’t want to replay because completing them was really hard and time consuming the first time round, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the journey – for every horrific Bart Vs. The Space Mutants there’s a sublime Contra 3, which I completed on Hard mode many years ago and have no intention of ever doing again!
Lord Darkstorm

Game of Throne
Nuclear Throne. It’s simply the combination of weapons coupled with how well the weapons are executed that makes another playthrough easy to begin. Additionally, the game doesn’t end. There’s a loop that takes you to a more difficult run, so, it’s about how far you can reach. Perfect ingredients for replayability!

Nuclear throne, you’re the king.

World Hot Topics Blog : The 10 Senate seats probably going to flip in 2022

 

World Hot Topics Blog  : The 10 Senate seats probably going to flip in 2022

The race for the Senate is subjective depending on each person's preferences under about a month and a half from Final voting day, with promotions about early termination, wrongdoing and expansion ruling the wireless transmissions in key states as missions test the hypothesis of the 2022 political decision.

The cycle began as a mandate on President Joe Biden - an obvious objective for conservatives, who need a net increase of only one seat to flip the equally separated chamber. Then the US High Court's late June choice upsetting Roe v. Swim offered leftists the chance to paint a difference as conservatives attempted to make sense of their help for an early termination deciding that most of the nation goes against. Previous President Donald Trump's ubiquity in the titles gave liberals another foil.

Yet, the good faith a few liberals felt close to the furthest limit of the mid year, closely following Biden's regulative successes and the stirring high court choice, has been tempered somewhat by the eagerly awaited fixing of a few vital races as political promoting slopes up on television and citizens tune in after Work Day.

Conservatives, who have midterm history on their side as the party out of the White House, have pounded Biden and liberals for supporting strategies they contend fuel expansion. Biden's endorsement rating remains at 41% with 54% opposing in the most recent CNN Survey of Surveys, which tracks the normal of late reviews. What's more, for certain costs creeping back up after a concise break, the economy and expansion - which Americans the nation over recognize as their top worry in numerous surveys - are probably going to assume a urgent part in choosing citizens' inclinations.

Be that as it may, there's been a consistent expansion in promotions about wrongdoing too as the GOP gets back to a recognizable analysis, portraying liberals as feeble on open security. Cops have been pervasive in television advertisements this cycle - competitors from the two sides of the walkway have found cops to affirm on camera to their supportive of police qualifications. Vote based promotions likewise highlight ladies discussing the danger of a public fetus removal boycott should the Senate fall into GOP hands, while conservatives have spent similarly less attempting to depict liberals as the fanatics on the point.

While the issue sets have varied, the Senate map hasn't changed. Conservatives' top pickup amazing open doors have forever been Nevada, Georgia, Arizona and New Hampshire - all expresses that Biden conveyed in 2020. In two of those states, in any case, the GOP has huge issues, albeit the actual states keep the races serious. Arizona chosen one Blake Bosses is currently without the help of the party's significant super PAC, which believes its cash can be better spent somewhere else, remembering for New Hampshire, where resigned Armed force Brig. Gen. Wear Bolduc is a long way from the candidate the public GOP had needed. However, this is the season while poor raising money can truly become clear since television promotion rates favor competitors and a super PAC gets significantly less value for its money.

The race for Senate control might boil down to three states: Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania, which are all evaluated as "Shot in the dark" races by Inside Decisions with Nathan L. Gonzales. As conservatives hope to flip the Senate, which Minority Pioneer Mitch McConnell has called a "50-50 suggestion," they're attempting to get the initial two and clutch the last option.

Senate liberals' way to holding their larger part lies with safeguarding their occupants. Taking out a GOP-held seat like Pennsylvania - still the probably going to flip in CNN's positioning - would assist with relieving any misfortunes. Wisconsin, where GOP Sen. Ron Johnson is competing for a third term, seems to be liberals' next best pickup opportunity, however that race drops in the rankings this month as conservative assaults negatively affect the Vote based chosen one in the surveys.

These rankings depend on CNN's revealing, raising support and promoting information, and surveying, as well as authentic information about how states and applicants have performed. It will be refreshed once again before Final voting day.

1. Pennsylvania

Officeholder: Conservative Pat Toomey (resigning)

The most steady thing about CNN's rankings, tracing all the way back to 2021, has been Pennsylvania's spot in the lead position. Be that as it may, the competition to supplant resigning GOP Sen. Pat Toomey has fixed since the primaries in May, when Conservative Mehmet Oz arose gravely swollen from a frightful intraparty challenge. In a CNN Survey of Surveys normal of ongoing overviews in the state, Liberal John Fetterman, the state lieutenant lead representative, had the help of half of likely citizens to Oz's 45%. (The Survey of Surveys is a normal of the four latest neutral reviews of likely citizens that satisfy CNN's guidelines.) Fetterman is as yet overperforming Biden, who barely conveyed Pennsylvania in 2020. Fetterman's positivity evaluations are likewise reliably higher than Oz's.

One potential pain point for the Leftist: More electors in a late September Franklin and Marshall School Survey saw Oz has having strategies that would advance citizens' monetary conditions, with the economy and expansion staying the top worry for electors across a scope of reviews. Yet, almost five months after the essential, the big name specialist actually appears to definitely disapprove of his base. A higher level of liberals were supporting Fetterman than conservatives were moving Oz in a new Fox News study, for instance, with quite a bit of that owing to bring down help from GOP ladies than men. Fetterman allies were likewise substantially more excited about their up-and-comer than Oz allies.

Conservatives have been pounding Fetterman on wrongdoing, explicitly his residency on the state Leading group of Exculpations: A promotion from the Senate Initiative Asset includes a Bucks District sheriff saying, "Safeguard your loved ones. Try not to cast a ballot Fetterman." However the lieutenant lead representative is likewise utilizing sheriffs on camera to protect his record. Furthermore, with rural electors being a vital segment, Popularity based promoting is likewise inclining toward early termination, similar to this Senate Larger part PAC advertisement that includes a female specialist as storyteller and plays Oz's remarks from during the essential about fetus removal being "murder." Oz's mission has said that he upholds exemptions for "the existence of the mother, assault and inbreeding" and that "he'd need to ensure that the central government isn't engaged with disrupting the state's choices on the subject.   World Hot Topics Blog 

 

2. Nevada

Officeholder: Leftist Catherine Cortez Masto

Conservatives have four principal pickup open doors - and at the present time, Popularity based Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto's seat seems as though quite possibly of their absolute best. Biden conveyed Nevada by a somewhat bigger edge than two of those other GOP-designated states, yet the Silver State's huge transient populace adds a level of vulnerability to this challenge.

Conservatives have attempted to attach the initial term representative to Washington spending and expansion, which might be especially resounding where normal gas costs are presently back up to more than $5 a gallon. Leftists are focusing in on early termination privileges and raising the danger that a GOP-controlled Senate could pass a public fetus removal boycott. Previous state Principal legal officer Adam Laxalt - the interesting GOP candidate to have joined McConnell and Trump right off the bat - called the 1973 Roe v. Swim managing a "joke" under the watchful eye of the High Court toppled the choice in June. Liberals have been very glad to utilize that remark against him, yet Laxalt has attempted to get around those assaults by saying he doesn't uphold a public boycott and directing out that the right toward a fetus removal is settled regulation in Nevada.

3. Georgia

Officeholder: Liberal Raphael Warnock

The nearer we get to Final voting day, the more we really want to discuss the Georgia Senate race going over the wire. On the off chance that neither one of the competitors gets a greater part of the vote in November, the challenge will go to a December overflow. There was no reasonable forerunner in a new Marist survey that had Vote based Sen. Raphael Warnock, who's running for an entire six-year term, and conservative challenger Herschel Walker both under half among the individuals who say they certainly plan to cast a ballot.

Warnock's edge from prior this cycle has restricted, which knocks this seat up one spot on the rankings. The uplifting news for Warnock is that he's as yet overperforming Biden's endorsement numbers in an express that the President flipped in 2020 by under 12,000 votes. Thus far, he is by all accounts keeping the Senate race nearer than the gubernatorial challenge, for which a few surveys have shown GOP Gov. Brian Kemp ahead. Warnock's attempting to project a bipartisan picture that he thinks will assist him with hanging on in what had up to this point been a dependably red state. Standing midriff somewhere down in peanuts in a single ongoing promotion, he promotes his work with Alabama GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville to "kill the guidelines," never referencing his own party. However, conservatives have kept on attempting to attach the representative to his party - explicitly for deciding in favor of measures in Washington that they guarantee have exacerbated expansion.

Liberals are trusting that enough Georgians won't consider deciding in favor of Walker to be a choice - regardless of whether they back Kemp. Leftists have amped up their assaults on abusive behavior at home charges against the previous football star and unattractive titles about his business record. And everyone's eyes will be on the mid-October discussion to perceive how Walker, who has a past filled with offering dubious and counter-intuitive remarks, handles himself in front of an audience against the more cleaned occupant.   World Hot Topics Blog 

 

4. Wisconsin

Occupant: Conservative Ron Johnson

Sen. Ron Johnson is the main conservative running for re-appointment in a state Biden won in 2020 - as a matter of fact, he broke his own service time restraints to run a third time, saying he accepted America was "in danger." And despite the fact that Johnson has had low endorsement numbers for a large part of the cycle, leftists have underrated him previously. This challenge drops down one spot on the positioning as Johnson's race against Vote based Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes has fixed, setting the congressperson in a superior position.

Barnes coasted through the August essential after his greatest adversaries exited the race, yet as the candidate, he's confronted an invasion of assaults, particularly on wrongdoing, utilizing against him his previous words about finishing cash bail and diverting some subsidizing from police spending plans to social administrations. Barnes has endeavored to answer those assaults in his promotions, similar to this one highlighting a resigned police sergeant who says he knows "Mandela would rather not undermine the police."

A Marquette College Graduate school survey from early September showed no unmistakable pioneer, with Johnson at 49% and Barnes at 48% among likely citizens, which is a fixing from the 7-point edge Barnes delighted in a similar survey's August overview. Prominently, free thinkers were breaking somewhat for Johnson after fundamentally leaning toward Barnes in the August review. The impact of the GOP's enemy of Barnes promoting can probably be found in the rising level of enlisted electors in a late September Fox News review who view the liberal as "excessively outrageous," putting him on equality with Johnson on that inquiry. Johnson allies are likewise significantly more excited about their up-and-comer.

 

5. Arizona

Occupant: Leftist Imprint Kelly

Majority rule Sen. Mark Kelly, who's running for an entire six-year term in the wake of winning a 2020 exceptional political race, is as yet one of the most weak Senate occupants in an express that has as of late become cutthroat on the government level. Yet, conservative candidate Blake Experts is no place near matching Kelly in raising support, and significant GOP outside capability is currently gone. In the wake of dropping its September television reservations in Arizona to divert cash to Ohio, the Senate Administration Asset has cut its October spending as well.

Other moderate gatherings are spending for Bosses yet have work to do to hurt Kelly, a very much subsidized officeholder with a solid individual brand. Kelly drove Experts 51% to 41% among enrolled citizens in a September Marist survey, albeit that hole limited among the people who said they most certainly plan to cast a ballot. A Fox overview from a little later in the month comparatively showed Kelly with a 5-point edge among those sure to cast a ballot, just inside the safety buffer.

Aces has endeavored to direct his fetus removal position since winning his August essential, floated by a Trump support, yet Kelly has kept on going after him on the issue. What's more, a new court choice permitting the implementation of a 1901 state prohibition on essentially all fetus removals has given liberals additional grain to paint conservatives as a danger to ladies' regenerative freedoms.

 

6. North Carolina

Officeholder: Conservative Richard Burr (resigning)

North Carolina slides up one spot on the rankings, exchanging places with New Hampshire. The open-seat competition to supplant resigning GOP Sen. Richard Burr hasn't produced as much public buzz as different states given that leftists haven't won a Senate seat in that frame of mind beginning around 2008.

However, it has stayed a tight challenge with Leftist Cheri Beasley, who is offering to turn into the state's most memorable Dark congressperson, going head to head against GOP Rep. Ted Budd, for whom Trump as of late crusaded. Beasley lost re-appointment as state High Court boss equity by something like 400 votes in 2020 when Trump barely conveyed the Tar Heel state. In any case, leftists trust that she'll have the option to support turnout among provincial Dark electors who could not any other way vote during a midterm political decision and that more safe conservatives and free thinkers will consider Budd to be excessively outrageous. One of Beasley's new spots includes a progression of generally White, silver haired resigned decided in suits embracing her as "somebody unique" while going after Budd similar to an ordinary legislator out for himself.

Budd is inclining toward current expansion burdens, explicitly pursuing Biden in certain advertisements that highlight half-void shopping baskets, without referencing Beasley. Senate Authority Asset is accomplishing crafted by attempting to attach the leftist to Washington - one late spot nearly makes her seem to be the occupant in the race, superimposing her photograph over a picture of the US Legislative hall and showing her face close to Biden's. Both SLF and Budd are additionally focusing on Beasley over her help for liberals' as of late ordered medical care, duty and environment bill. "Liberal legislator Cheri Beasley is coming for you - and your wallet," the storyteller from one SLF promotion articulates, before later adding, "Beasley will thump on your entryway with a multitude of new IRS specialists." (The new regulation increments financing for the IRS, including for reviews. Yet, liberals and the Trump-selected IRS chief have said the expectation is to pursue well off charge cheats, not the working class.)

 

7. New Hampshire

Officeholder: Liberal Maggie Hassan

A ton has been made of GOP competitor quality this cycle. Be that as it may, there are not many states where the distinction between the chosen one conservatives have and the one they'd wanted to have has changed these rankings very as much as New Hampshire.

Resigned Armed force Brig. Gen. Wear Bolduc, who lost a 2020 GOP bid for the state's other Senate seat, won last month's conservative essential to take on initial term Vote based Sen. Maggie Hassan. The issue for him, however, is that he doesn't have a lot of cash to wage that battle. Bolduc had raised a sum of $579,000 through August 24 contrasted and Hassan's $31.4 million. Senate Administration Asset is on air in New Hampshire to help the GOP candidate - going after Hassan for casting a ballot with Biden and her help of her party's medical care, expense and environment bundle. But since super PACs get considerably less ideal television promoting rates than up-and-comers, those millions won't go even close to the extent that Hassan's dollars will.

A year prior, conservatives were as yet hopeful that Gov. Chris Sununu would run for Senate, giving them a well known fetus removal freedoms supporting candidate in an express that is moved blue in ongoing government decisions. Bolduc told WMUR after his essential win that he'd cast a ballot against a public fetus removal boycott. Yet, advertisements from Hassan and Senate Greater part PAC have held onto on his idea in the very interview that the congressperson ought to "move past" the fetus removal issue. Conservatives perceive that fetus removal is a notable figure a state Biden conveyed by 7, yet they likewise contend that the political decision - as Bolduc shared with WMUR - will be about the economy and that Hassan is a disagreeable and distant officeholder.

Hassan drove Bolduc 49% to 41% among likely electors in a Stone State Survey led by the College of New Hampshire Study Center. The occupant has united Vote based help, yet just 83% of conservatives said they were with Bolduc, the overview found. In any case, a portion of those conservatives, similar to the people who said they were uncertain, could return home to the GOP candidate as the overall political decision draws nearer, and that implies Bolduc has space to develop. He'll require something other than conservatives to break his direction, be that as it may, which is one explanation he immediately turned on the major question of whether the 2020 political decision was taken days after he won the essential.

 

8. Ohio

Officeholder: Conservative Loot Portman (resigning)

Ohio - an express that two times decided in favor of Trump by 8 - shouldn't be on this rundown at No. 8, above Florida, which supported the previous President by much smaller edges. Yet, it's at No. 8 for the second month straight. Conservative chosen one J.D. Vance's poor gathering pledges has constrained Senate Initiative Asset to divert millions from different rushes to Ohio to support him and assault Rep. Tim Ryan, the Majority rule candidate who had the wireless transmissions to himself throughout the mid year. The 10-term representative has been attempting to move away from his party in the majority of his promotions, every now and again referencing that he "casted a ballot with Trump on exchange" and scrutinizing the "undermine the police" development. Vance is at long last on the air, attempting to punch a few holes in Ryan's picture.

However, surveying actually shows a tight race with no unmistakable pioneer. Ryan had an edge with free movers in a new Siena School/Range News survey, which likewise showed that Vance - Trump's pick for the designation - has more work to do to combine GOP support after a monstrous May essential. Expecting he makes up that help and late uncertain citizens break his direction, Vance will probably hold the benefit in the end given the Buckeye State's cementing red lean.

 

 

9. Florida

Occupant: Conservative Marco Rubio

Liberals face a daunting struggle against GOP Sen. Marco Rubio in an undeniably red-moving state, which Trump conveyed by around 3 focuses in 2020 - almost significantly increasing his edge from four years sooner.

Popularity based Rep. Val Demings, who effectively won the party's selection in August, is areas of strength for a who has even outraised the GOP occupant, yet not by enough to risk his benefit genuinely. She's inclining toward her experience as the previous Orlando police boss - it includes conspicuously in her publicizing, in which she more than once dismisses the possibility of undermining the police. In any case, Rubio has attempted to attach her to the "revolutionary left" in Washington to undermine her own policing.

 

10. Colorado

Occupant: Leftist Michael Bennet

Popularity based Sen. Michael Bennet is no more bizarre to intense races. In 2016, he just won re-appointment by 6 against an underfunded GOP challenger whom the public party had deserted. Given GOP gathering pledges difficulties in a portion of their top races, the party hasn't had the assets to put resources into the Centennial Express this year genuinely.

In any case, in his bid for a third full term, Bennet is facing a more grounded challenger in financial specialist Joe O'Dea, who told CNN he contradicted the High Court's choice to upset Roe v. Swim. His significant other and little girl star in his promotions as he attempts to cut a more safe profile and promises not to cast a ballot the partisan principal in Washington.

Bennet, nonetheless, is going after O'Dea for deciding in favor of a bombed 2020 state polling form measure to boycott early termination following 22 weeks of pregnancy and contending that anything O'Dea says regarding supporting fetus removal privileges, he'd give McConnell "the larger part he wants" to pass a public early termination boycott.

World Hot Topics Blog : Can Wine Ward Off Cataracts?

World Hot Topics Blog 

Can Wine Ward Off Cataracts?

Cataracts are a threat to the vision of millions, but new study suggests a welcome aid to prevention: wine.

A few glasses of alcohol -- especially red wine -- a week may help reduce your risk of cataract surgery, new British research suggests.

"The fact that our findings were particularly evident in wine drinkers may suggest a protective role of polyphenol antioxidants, which are especially abundant in red wine," said study lead author Sharon Chua, a researcher from University College London Institute of Ophthalmology. Her team noted that grape skin is abundant in with healthy antioxidants, an antioxidant-like compound known as resveratrol, and other heathy chemicals called flavonoids.

Too much alcohol -- a drink a day or more -- wasn't great for eye health, however. In heavier drinkers, the odds for cataracts actually began to rise, according to the study.

Cataracts often develop with age and occur when the normally clear lens of the eye becomes clouded.

"Cataracts are one of the leading causes of reversible vision loss and blurry vision in the world," said Dr. Matthew Gorski, an ophthalmologist at Northwell Health in Great Neck, N.Y., who wasn't involved in the new study.

"Symptoms of cataracts include glare, halos, double vision, loss of contrast sensitivity, dimness of vision, or difficulty with depth perception and can lead to trouble reading or difficulty with driving during the day or night," he explained. "Cataract surgery is the only way to treat cataracts and is a low-risk, quick and efficient procedure to improve vision."

But could alcohol intake affect a person's odds for cataracts? To find out, Chua's group tracked the health and lifestyle of 490,000 people in the United Kingdom.

After taking into account factors known to affect cataract risk -- age, sex, ethnicity, socioeconomics, weight, smoking and diabetes -- the researchers found that people who consumed about 6.5 standard glasses of wine per week (a level that's within guidelines for safe alcohol intake in the United States and United) were less likely to undergo cataract surgery.

Compared to people who abstained or drank other types of alcohol, wine drinkers were between 14% and 23% less likely to require cataract surgery, the study found.

Compared to people who abstained, moderate drinkers of white wine or champagne had a 10% lower risk, and moderate drinkers of beer and spirits had a 13% and 14% lower risk, respectively.

World Hot Topics Blog 

Daily or near daily consumption of beer or spirits was not associated with a lower risk.

The study also found that people who had any type of alcohol 1-2 and 3-4 times a week had a 7% and 6% lower risk of cataract surgery, respectively.

But people who drank alcohol daily or almost daily were 5% and 6% more likely to have cataract surgery than those who had alcohol 1-2 times and 3-4 times a week, respectively.

The study was published March 31 in the journal Ophthalmology.

The researchers noted that their findings don't prove cause and effect; it only shows a strong association between alcohol consumption and cataracts.

"Cataract development may be due to gradual damage from oxidative stress during aging," Chua said in a journal news release, so the antioxidants in wine might help counter that.

Still, Gorski agreed that the research couldn't prove alcohol promotes eye health.

"I think that this is an important study, however further studies are necessary to see if the findings will be repeated," he cautioned. "At this time, I will certainly not be telling my patients to drink small amounts of alcohol in order to decrease the chance of cataract surgery."

Dr. Mark Fromer is an ophthalmologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Reading over the findings, he agreed that "further studies will be necessary to determine whether this association is causal in nature. If, in fact, low to moderate levels of alcohol intake has a causal effect on the reduction of cataract formation, it is likely that it occurs over a long period of time."

Preventing Chronic Kidney Disease

You are more likely to develop kidney disease if you have

·         diabetes

·         high blood pressure

·         heart disease

·         a family history of kidney failure

What can I do to keep my kidneys healthy?

You can protect your kidneys by preventing or managing health conditions that cause kidney damage, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. The steps described below may help keep your whole body healthy, including your kidneys.

During your next medical visit, you may want to ask your health care provider about your kidney health. Early kidney disease may not have any symptoms, so getting tested may be the only way to know your kidneys are healthy. Your health care provider will help decide how often you should be tested.

See a provider right away if you develop a urinary tract infection (UTI), which can cause kidney damage if left untreated.

Make healthy food choices

Choose foods that are healthy for your heart and your entire body: fresh fruits, fresh or frozen vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or fat-free dairy products. Eat healthy meals, and cut back on salt and added sugars. Aim for less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium each day. Try to have less than 10 percent of your daily calories come from added sugars.

Choose foods that are healthy for your body.

Tips for making healthy food choices

·         Cook with a mix of spices instead of salt.

·         Choose veggie toppings such as spinach, broccoli, and peppers for your pizza.

·         Try baking or broiling meat, chicken, and fish instead of frying.

·         Serve foods without gravy or added fats.

·         Try to choose foods with little or no added sugar.

·         Gradually work your way down from whole milk to 2 percent milk until you’re drinking and cooking with fat-free (skim) or low-fat milk and milk products.

·         Eat foods made from whole grains—such as whole wheat, brown rice, oats, and whole-grain corn—every day. Use whole-grain bread for toast and sandwiches; substitute brown rice for white rice for home-cooked meals and when dining out.

·         Read food labels. Choose foods low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.

·         Slow down at snack time. Eating a bag of low-fat popcorn takes longer than eating a slice of cake. Peel and eat an orange instead of drinking orange juice.

·         Try keeping a written record of what you eat for a week. It can help you see when you tend to overeat or eat foods high in fat or calories.

Research has shown that the DASH eating plan  may help you lower your blood pressure. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease, you may want to locate and work with a dietitian  to create a meal plan that meets your needs.

Make physical activity part of your routine

Be active for 30 minutes or more on most days. If you are not active now, ask your health care provider about the types and amounts of physical activity that are right for you. Add more activity to your life with these tips to help you get active.

Aim for a healthy weight

The NIH Body Weight Planner is an online tool to help you tailor your plans to achieve and stay at a healthy weight. The Body Weight Planner is a part of the SuperTracker , a free food-, physical activity-, and weight-tracking tool from ChooseMyPlate.gov that will help you build a healthier diet, manage your weight, and reduce your risk of chronic disease, including kidney disease.

If you are overweight or obese, work with your health care provider or dietitian to create a realistic weight-loss plan. View more weight control and physical activity resources to help you get and stay motivated.

Get enough sleep

Aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. If you have trouble sleeping, take steps to improve your sleep habits .

Stop smoking

If you smoke or use other tobacco products, stop. Ask for help so you don’t have to do it alone. You can start by calling the national quitline at 1-800-QUITNOW or 1-800-784-8669. For tips on quitting, go to Smokefree.gov .

Limit alcohol intake 

Drinking too much alcohol can increase your blood pressure and add extra calories, which can lead to weight gain. If you drink alcohol , limit yourself to one drink per day if you are a woman and two drinks per day if you are a man. One drink is:

·         12 ounces of beer

·         5 ounces of wine

·         1.5 ounces of liquor

Explore stress-reducing activities

Learning how to manage stress , relax, and cope with problems can improve emotional and physical health. Physical activity can help reduce stress, as can mind and body practices such as meditation , yoga , or tai chi .

Manage diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease

If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease, the best way to protect your kidneys from damage is to

Keep blood glucose numbers close to your goal. Checking your blood glucose, or blood sugar, level is an important way to manage your diabetes. Your health care team may want you to test your blood glucose one or more times a day.

Keep your blood pressure numbers close to your goal. The blood pressure goal for most people with diabetes is below 140/90 mm Hg. Read more about high blood pressure .

Take all your medicines as prescribed. Talk with your health care provider about certain blood pressure medicines, called ACE inhibitors and ARBs, which may protect your kidneys. The names of these medicines end in –pril or –sartan.

Be careful about the daily use of over-the-counter pain medications. Regular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen  and naproxen , can damage your kidneys. Learn more about over-the-counter medicines and your kidneys.

To help prevent heart attacks and stroke, keep your cholesterol levels in the target range.There are two kinds of cholesterol in your blood: LDL and HDL. LDL or “bad” cholesterol can build up and clog your blood vessels, which can cause a heart attack or stroke. HDL or “good” cholesterol helps remove the “bad” cholesterol from your blood vessels. A cholesterol test also may measure another type of blood fat called triglycerides.
