17 August 2007United Nations staff members across the globe today solemnly commemorated the fourth anniversary of the bombing at Baghdad’s Canal Hotel, where nearly two dozen people were killed and scores more injured in the deadliest attack against the world body’s civilian personnel in history. In Addis Ababa, Baghdad, Bangkok, Geneva, Nairobi, New York, Santiago, Vienna and other locations, staff members gathered in remembrance of the 19 August 2003 truck bomb attack against the UN headquarters in Baghdad, which took the lives of 22 and wounded more than 150. Among those killed was Sergio Vieira de Mello, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Iraq and head of the UN mission in the country.A UN spokesperson, stressing that the Organization has “vigorously pursued the coordination of an accurate account of the tragic crime,” said all elements of that account are now complete.The UN will share the account as soon as possible with the families of victims and other concerned parties, Michele Montas said. “This was the first time the United Nations was deliberately targeted on such a massive scale,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said at the UN Headquarters ceremony. “The bomb detonated at our Baghdad headquarters robbed us of our best and brightest and injured many more, but it also shattered any illusion that the UN’s ideals and impartiality permitted us to operate above the fray in Iraq.”The Security Council’s recent decision to strengthen the mandate of the UN mission in Iraq “is an opportunity to carry forward the work of Sergio Vieira de Mello and his colleagues,” the Secretary-General said, adding that he understood the “fears and concerns” of staff members about the move.“Any such measure remains strictly subject to conditions on the ground,” he stressed. “Your safety is and always will be a paramount concern.”“At the same time, the terrorists who struck so cruelly in Baghdad must, one day, be brought to justice,” he said, standing before a memorial to the victims and a frame holding the tattered UN flag which survived the bombing. “There can be no impunity for such murderers.”The Secretary-General said his thoughts are with the survivors of the Baghdad bombing, and the families of those who died, and also paid tribute “to the brave men and women who continue to serve the United Nations, in Iraq and beyond.”UN staff members around the world gathered and observed a minute of silence to honour the memory of the victims. Wreath-laying ceremonies were held in Geneva and New York, while staff in Santiago held a candle-lighting ceremony.At the Geneva ceremony, the Director-General of the UN Office there, Sergei A. Ordzhonikidze, stressed that time only strengthens the resolve to ensure that the lives and contributions of those who perished were not forgotten. “We vow to take forward their quest for peace as the most appropriate tribute to their memory,” he said, adding that by “building on their legacy, we continue to assist the Iraqi people.”Mr. Ordzhonikidze said the adoption last week of Security Council Resolution 1770 to renew and strengthen the mandate of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) “demonstrates the Organization’s unwavering commitment to helping the Iraqi people to shape a prosperous and peaceful future.” He paid tribute to the victims’ deep sense of commitment to the noble cause of peace and to the service of who needed them the most. “Let us all be inspired – not just today, but every day – by their drive and dedication, by their sense of responsibility, by their steadfast belief in the values and principles of this Organization, and by their determination and ability to act upon this belief.” In Nairobi, 100 staff members gathered outside the main entrance of the Sergio Vieira de Mello Library located in the UN headquarters complex for a commemorative ceremony.Achim Steiner, the Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and acting Director-General of the UN Office at Nairobi, read the Secretary-General’s message before the minute of silence was observed.Following a speech by the President of the Staff Union, Michael Mwangi, Eric Falt, the Director of the UN Information Centre in Nairobi, which organized the ceremony, requested that staff who had been given single-stem flowers place them in the Pond of Remembrance located just off the main entrance of the library.The Sergio Vieira de Mello Library is but one of several lasting tributes to the victims of the bombing. Officials from the American University in Cairo (AUC) set up the Nadia Younes Memorial Fund, which honours the legacy of the late Egyptian UN staffer who was killed in the attack by supporting education and opportunity for students.Among its projects, the Fund has supported the Nadia Younes Conference and Meeting Room at AUC’s Model United Nations Centre, the Nadia Younes Annual Lecture, and the Nadia Younes Award for Public and Humanitarian Service.Jean-Selim Kanaan, a national of Egypt and France who was among the victims, was awarded France’s Legion of Honour for his work in helping the world’s weak and oppressed, while the UN renamed annual training programme for young journalists in honour of Reham Al-Farra, the first female daily political columnist in her native Jordan who was also killed in the Baghdad blast.In addition to these four individuals, various tributes have also been paid to each of the other victims: Emaad Ahmed Salman Al-Jobory, Raid Shaker Mustafa Al-Mahdawi Leen Assad Al-Quadi, Ranilo Buenaventura, Rick Hooper, Reza Hosseini, Ihssan Taha Husain, Christopher Klein-Beekman, Martha Teas, Basim Mahmood Utaiwi, Fiona Watson, Saad Hermiz Abona, Omar Kahtan Mohamed Al-Orfali, Gillian Clark, Arthur Helton, Manuel Martín-Oar, Khidir Saleem Sahir and Alya Ahmad Sousa.
The head of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today congratulated the former presidents of Ghana and Brazil, John Kufuor and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who have been honoured for their vital contributions to improving the quality, quantity, or availability of food in the world.The two men, who led the drastic reduction of hunger and poverty in their countries, are the winners of the 2011 World Food Prize, announced in Washington yesterday. “It is the first time this prize, created 25 years ago by Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug, recognizes the vital role of national leaders in fighting hunger at home and abroad, and we hope that the world’s leaders will be encouraged to continue on their path,” WFP Executive Director Josette Sheeran said in a statement. “President Kufuor and President Lula have both been strong supporters of WFP, especially throughout the recent years of high price volatility, which have pushed the number of hungry people in the world to nearly one billion,” she added.Mr. Kufuor has been a WFP Ambassador Against Hunger since 2009 and Ms. Sheeran said this recognition further highlights the importance of his work, both around the globe and in Ghana, where, during his two terms as president he improved food security and reduced poverty through public and private sector initiatives. Last year, WFP recognized Mr. Lula da Silva as a Global Champion in the Battle Against Hunger in recognition of his leadership in the fight against hunger and inadequate nutrition in his country and across the world. Mr. Kufuor is also a recipient of the WFP award, which is given to individuals for their vision and leadership in addressing hunger, and for showing that the fight against hunger and child under-nutrition can be won. 22 June 2011The head of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today congratulated the former presidents of Ghana and Brazil, John Kufuor and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who have been honoured for their vital contributions to improving the quality, quantity, or availability of food in the world.
VANCOUVER — A class action lawsuit that accuses Turquoise Hill Resources (TSX:TRQ) of misleading investors over a 3 1/2-year period has been filed in a U.S. district court in New York City.The law firm Levi and Korsinsky filed the case on behalf of those who bought shares in the company between May 14, 2010 and Nov. 8, 2013.The case alleges that the mining company made false and or misleading statements regarding its financial performance and business prospects and overstated its revenue.The allegations, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, have not been proven in court.Turquoise Hill said in November it would restate its results for the years ended Dec. 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012, as well as the affected quarterly financial results following a decision by its majority-owned subsidiary SouthGobi Resources to restate its results.The SouthGobi restatement was due to a change in determination of when revenue should be recognized according to international accounting standards.The Levi and Korsinsky lawsuit is the second case filed against Turquoise Hill in recent weeks.Another case was filed earlier in December by Robbins, Geller, Rudman and Dowd that also accused Turquoise Hill of “materially false and misleading statements” regarding its financial performance.In response to that case, Turquoise Hill said the lawsuit was “without merit” and pledged to “vigorously defend against it.”Turquoise Hill is developing the Oyu Tolgoi copper mining complex in Mongolia, including an open pit mine that began production this year and an underground portion under development.

The Council’s meeting, scheduled for 11:30 a.m., will be held behind closed doors and is expected to review the latest developments in the DRC, where ongoing fighting is complicating UN efforts to improve stability and deliver aid to the country’s beleaguered people.On Friday, Secretary-General Kofi Annan urged all warring parties in the eastern DRC to cooperate unconditionally in the release of two UN military observers who had been abducted in the town of Beni.Meanwhile, up to 200,000 people have reportedly fled from towns in North Kivu ahead of the latest offensive by the Rassemblement Congolais pour la Démocratie (RCD-Goma). UN agencies and non-governmental organizations have been evacuating staff from Beni and Butembo, warning that if the offensive continues, more people will flee, exhausting the capacity of relief agencies to adequately respond to burgeoning humanitarian needs.

Others without special training may find them overly technical and difficult to comprehend.One person with training, a 21-year-old law student, said she understood the question and had studied the supporting documents, including the tax sections, before deciding to vote “no.” She said Greeks comprehend that the referendum is not just about the matters spelled out on the ballot, but deal with the broader issue of how European Union policy has shaped Greece during the austerity era.So do most people understand the ballot question? Here is a sampling of responses when the question was read to citizens Friday:___I UNDERSTAND BUT IT’S STILL CONFUSINGYanis Koutzouvelis, 19: “I understand the question in general but the question is not clear because we don’t know the consequences of voting ‘no’ and we don’t know if it means going out of the eurozone. I mean I don’t know in the end if the ‘yes’ or the ‘no’ is in reference to the drachma (Greek’s former national currency) or not. I will look at a lot of television and radio news but it’s super-difficult to understand what it really means.”___THE QUESTION IS MISLEADINGAndreas Simeou, 56: “With that question the government misleads the people. It’s not the fault of the Greek people. Now the government is giving the whole weight to the people and it always says it’s someone else’s fault that everything is a mess here.”___GREEKS UNDERSTAND WHAT’S AT STAKEMaria Gaspariatou, 42: “No one really cares what’s written on the ballot and what the ‘yes’ and ‘no’ means. They really know what it means from their lives. Like my grandmother, my granddad, my parents who are pensioners, they really know why they have to vote ‘no.’ The people understand that the whole last five years it was poverty and now we have to decide for ourselves. We have very difficult times and the Greek people know that. And they are ready go through that and have a better future.”____THE TV TOLD ME WHAT IT MEANSMaria Koleti, 57: “It’s only difficult for the people to understand if they are silly. There was so much analysis on the TV and in the newspapers explaining the ‘yes’ and the ‘no’ so no one has problems understanding what the ‘yes’ and the ‘no’ means on the ballot. The only people who don’t understand are those who don’t want to understand. We know what it means.”____DON’T ASK ME, I DIDN’T STUDY ECONOMICSStratos Harvis, 46: “I’m not so informed and not so into that stuff so for me it’s difficult to understand that question. But the last years in Greece it was very difficult for the people, so I would vote ‘no’. It’s tricky for someone who’s not involved, the questions are tricky because the way they are written a lot of people won’t understand. You have to have studied economics.”____IT’S OBVIOUSKaterina Bakola, 46, laughing as she heard the text of the question: “I don’t think the way it is posed is difficult to understand. For me the question was obvious. At least I understand the questions and I think all the people understand.” What Greeks think of the referendum wording as crucial Sunday vote on future with Europe nears
A statement, released via the UK Ministry of Defence website on Monday, said that the soldiers were being deployed in recognition of increased instability in the Sahel region of North Africa, with the aim of delivering “long-term and sustainable peace in Mali”.The troops, who will be based in Gao, eastern Mali, will address a “key capability gap for the UN Mission”, according to the statement, and will join an international contingent of over 15,000 military and police personnel, for an initial period of three years.#Mali – La Grande Bretagne @DefenceHQ déploie 250 Casques bleus au sein de la MINUSMA. #UK to contribute with 250 UN peacekeepers to @MINUSMA. @PennyMordaunt – Suivez la vidéo 📽️ pic.twitter.com/3gDgqdHtDM— MINUSMA (@UN_MINUSMA) July 22, 2019 The new UK contribution to the mission will form a long-range reconnaissance capability, providing greater awareness of possible threats and contributing to the protection of civilians.In a video released by MINUSMA on Monday, the UK’s Defence Secretary, Penny Mordaunt, said that the UK will not put any caveats on the use of the troops by the Mission, and that they will “have an effect on the ground”, building resilience and rapport with communities, and combatting security threats.The Government statement explains that the soldiers will support the UN’s mandate in Mali, which includes human security issues, such as operating within a zero-tolerance policy on sexual violence and supporting the rights of women and children.In a briefing delivered to the UN Security Council on July 10, the Force Commander of MINUSMA, Lieutenant-General Dennis Gyllenspore, said that the Mission has suffered many troop losses due to “frequent, direct and complex attacks on our bases”, adding that his forces need to find different and new ways to operate, become more agile and unpredictable, and react faster.Speaking on the same day, at a counter-terrorism conference in Kenya, the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, expressed solidarity with victims of extremist attacks in Africa, amid ongoing attacks by armed militants, and a deteriorating security situation in Mali and other countries in the Sahel.
Caterpillar has replaced the well regarded 777F 91 t class truck with the new 777G off-highway truck. The 777 was first introduced by Caterpillar in 1977 and has proven to be a workhorse for mining and large earthmoving customers. Caterpillar states that the 777G delivers greater levels of production and fuel efficiency as well as enhanced safety, operator comfort and service convenience. The company adds: “The 777G achieves greater production with 7% more torque powering work and new transmission controls that produce quick haul cycles with automotive quality shifting. The production increases are balanced with new fuel saving strategies that include configurable economy settings as well as an adaptive economy mode that automatically optimises fuel consumption based on the user’s production baseline.”Fuel savings also are realised behind the scenes through features such as auto neutral idle and APECS transmission controls where the truck becomes more fuel efficient at idle in a forward gear and when climbing grades. Customers can choose to engage features like Engine Idle Shutdown and speed limiting to further improve fuel savings. In addition to its fuel efficiency, the 777G is quieter and produces fewer emissions. Caterpillar is introducing its EPA Tier 4 Final solution on the 777G two years in advance of the effective date of the regulation, which provides customers an opportunity to advance their sustainability goals. The solution is both simple and robust and includes engine technology combined with diesel oxidation catalysts. It requires the use of ultra low sulphur diesel fuel and low ash engine oil, but requires no additional maintenance or operator input. For operations outside of areas regulated by the US EPA, the 777G reduces emissions with a Tier 2 or EU Stage II equivalent technology and fuel efficiency.Caterpillar has also enhanced braking and traction control for G Series. Hydraulic oil-immersed disc brakes are now standard on all four corners of the truck. The system design increases slope holding capability and provides fade resistant, responsive braking performance. Design updates extend brake component life by increasing the force used to disengage the brakes. The optional Cat engine brake can extend service brake life and integrates with Automatic Retarder Control, enabling fast downhill travel and reduced cycle times. The new parking brake system actuates the front brakes as well as the rear for solidly holding the truck on a slope. In addition to brake performance updates, the traction control system on the 777G is now able to differentiate between tire spin and high speed turns so it now can activate at lower speeds. The system now uses the hydraulically applied service brakes for improved response time and modulation from one wheel group to the other. The 777G also features new designs to enhance the safety and comfort of operators and maintenance personnel.Object Detection comes as standard on the 777G. Using a combination of radars, an in-cab display and multiple cameras, Object Detection provides equipment operators with enhanced awareness for increased site safety. The 777G also offers tyre monitoring through use of payload values from the Truck Production Monitoring System and data such as air temperature and truck speed to calculate the load placed on tyres. As tyres approach their rated load-speed rating, a warning is given and customers can choose a course of action, including slowing down or reducing payload. The 777G also introduces the next generation of transmission control strategies from Caterpillar. Advanced Productivity Electronic Control Strategy or APECS provides greater productivity at better fuel rates with torque shift management that allows the truck to carry more momentum up grades. Drive train durability profits from next generation electronic clutch pressure control, and APECS further provides outstanding shift quality for a smooth ride.

SEAN DUNNE HAS just over two weeks to supply further documents in his bankruptcy proceedings, amid claims that he is “stalling” in an attempt to buy more time.His wife, former Sunday Independent journalist Gayle Killilea, could also be called before the proceedings.The former developer, facing debts worth over €700 million, is currently in the midst of an attempt to be declared bankrupt in Connecticut.In papers filed yesterday, a solicitor acting for Connecticut’s bankruptcy court was granted a request for Dunne to be compelled to produce documents and provide testimony.These would include tax returns and bank statements that have not yet been provided to the court.“Cloak and dagger financial shell game”The solicitor, Richard Coan, said Dunne was ‘simply stalling and buying time while his trustee attempts to unravel a cloak and dagger financial shell game that spans three continents and, at least, four different countries’.The court also ruled that an ad hoc protocol, essentially a set of guidelines or rules, on how a dual bankruptcy proceeding like Dunne’s should be handled was not required to be produced by his trustee and that he faces no prejudice as a resultDunne had attempted to set a date for this protocol to be submitted.Coan argued that it would not clarify his rights and obligations any further.Papers filed earlier this week also suggest that Killilea has information relevant to proceedings.It adds that she could have a role in “the administration of the bankruptcy estate” of Dunne, and that calaims against her have a value of €32 million.Coan was granted permission to question Killilea in relation to this.Read: Former Anglo boss David Drumm facing fraud allegations in America >
With Motorola and AT&T launching the Moto Maker in the near future — a service that allows you to customize and purchase a Moto X — we couldn’t help but be reminded by one of the internet’s most prevalent product customization services, Nike’s NikeID. Which service offers more customization options? Will your dope new customized KD VI Chromas reflect your personality more than your sleek new Moto X?So, you’re in the market for a new smartphone and some new basketball shoes, but you only have enough money to cop one, and are highly discerning about your wardrobe and accessories. The best way to make anything complement your style is to customize the item, and now with the Moto Maker, you can customize your smartphone. NikeID has been around for a while, and the amount of shoes available and the wide array of colors, material, and patterns have long since cemented Nike’s customization service as one of the best.We tested out Moto Maker, and have also wasted many a night trying to find the best pattern and color combination for various signature basketball sneakers. So, we can help you decide between some stylish custom LeBron Xs or a new Moto X — you know, when the only thing that really matters is how it matches your persona.Unlike, for example, purchasing a MacBook from the Apple Store website, Moto Maker doesn’t let you choose the phone’s specs other than the standard storage capacity option found in all phones. Sneakers have a lot of tech involved these days, from Flywire support, to Lunarlon cushioning, to Hyperfuse protective material. These options are essentially a Nike basketball shoe’s specs. You normally can’t add or remove these, so in terms of changing specs, Moto Maker and NikeID are equals. Both customization tools only offer the ability to change body and accent colors. In that respect, NikeID offers a much wider array of options, but interestingly, both tools remain about equal.Moto Maker offers a simple array, allowing you to choose the color of the front and back of the phone, the accent colors (the buttons and lens rim), and you can add a signature — such as your name — to the back of the phone as well. You can also add a message to the phone’s boot-up screen, and have a wallpaper you won’t instantly replace come pre-installed. In the future, Motorola said that the Moto X wood casing would become available for customization, as well as an option for users to vote for new patterns that will be added to the system.Over on the NikeID side, you can only customize color and add a personalized message or signature, but the color options are staggering. This is because modern-day high-end basketball shoes have a lot of different visible components, and Nike allows you to customize the color or pattern of every single one of them. From the Nike logo and the shoe’s upper, to the inner airbag visible through the heel and the color highlights of a carbon fiber back, to the laces and tongue, and so on. You can also often add or remove patterns from various parts of the shoe — usually some kind of speckle — as well as change the outsole to an indoor or outdoor version. You can even change the color of the shoe’s lining or add glow-in-the-dark options.With NikeID you can make the most stylish shoe possible, having control over the look of every single aspect, or you can wield your power for evil, like we did.Not even counting the large variety of shoes available to customize with NikeID, each individual shoe just has so many more options than Moto Maker. However, this isn’t because there wasn’t much effort put into Moto Maker; rather, this is because there are just so many more visible parts of a shoe to customize than there are visible parts on a phone.In the end, a new pair of Nikes will be much more customizable than a new Moto X, as Moto Maker is significantly less complex than NikeID. However, that isn’t Moto Maker’s fault, as phones nowadays only have a few visible components, whereas the composition of modern basketball shoes look like the product of a mad science experiment that resulted in many people going to jail for crimes against genetics.
Lymphome Hodgkinien ou non Hodgkinien : symptômes, traitement, définitionLe lymphome est un cancer du système lymphatique. Il se distingue en deux grands groupes : la maladie de Hodgkin et le lymphome non hodgkinien qui présente plus d’une cinquantaine de cancer différents comme le lymphome de Burkitt ou le lymphome du manteau. Définition : qu’est ce qu’un lymphome ? Le lymphome correspond à un cancer du système lymphatique. Ce dernier a pour rôle d’assurer la défense immunitaire de l’organisme et de réagir face aux attaques extérieures de bactéries ou de virus. Il regroupe les ganglions lymphatiques, la rate, les amygdales, la moelle osseuse ou encore le thymus.Ce réseau lymphatique permet la création (via les ganglions) et la circulation (via les vaisseaux lymphatiques) de la lymphe, un liquide biologique composé majoritairement de lymphocytes, des globules blancs chargés de combattre les infections. C’est un développement anormal de ces lymphocytes qui est à l’origine du lymphome. Les différents types de lymphomeOn distingue deux catégories principales de lymphome : le lymphome non Hodgkinien (LNH) et la maladie de Hodgkin. Ce qui les différencie est la présence spécifique de cellules de Reed-Sternberg dans le cas de la maladie de Hodgkin. Il s’agit de grandes cellules tumorales caractéristiques dérivées d’un lymphocyte. Cette forme de lymphome est beaucoup plus rare et touche principalement les jeunes adultes (entre 20 et 40 ans).Le lymphome non Hodgkinien se développe à partir de lymphocytes B dans 85% des cas et de lymphocytes T dans les 15% restants. Il existe plus d’une cinquantaine de types de LNH. On les classe en deux groupes généraux : – les formes agressives : Il s’agit des formes évoluant très rapidement. Elles touchent entre 50 et 60% des patients affectés par un lymphome. Elles sont à prendre très au sérieux et nécessitent une prise en charge immédiate. C’est le cas du lymphome de Burkitt et du lymphome du manteau. – les formes indolentes : Leur évolution est plus lente et peut se faire sur plusieurs années. Elles représentent 40 à 50% des personnes concernées par la maladie. Cela regroupe par exemple le lymphome folliculaire ou le lymphome du MALT. Symptômes d’un lymphomeLes signes cliniques du lymphome sont assez difficiles à diagnostiquer car ils sont peu impressionnants aux premiers stades de la maladie et très semblables à ceux d’autres pathologies. Le premier symptôme à faire son apparition est généralement une augmentation non douloureuse du volume des ganglions (ou adénopathie) au niveau du cou, de l’aine ou des aisselles. Cela s’accompagne le plus souvent au cours du développement du lymphome de fièvre, de frissons, de sueurs nocturnes, d’une grande fatigue et d’une perte de poids inexpliquée. En fonction de la localisation du lymphome et de l’organe concerné, le malade peut également ressentir des douleurs abdominales si les tissus lymphatiques à l’intérieur de l’estomac sont touchés ou des douleurs à la poitrine impliquant des difficultés respiratoires. Evolution d’un lymphomeOn distingue quatre stades d’évolution d’un cancer des lymphocytes :- stade I : un seul groupe ganglionnaire ou un seul organe est atteint- stade II : le cancer a atteint plusieurs groupes ganglionnaires mais présents d’un seul côté du diaphragme – stade III : le lymphome est désormais situé de part et d’autre du diaphragme- stade IV : l’atteinte s’est développée au-delà du système lymphatiqueCauses d’un lymphomeLes causes exactes du lymphome de ne sont pas encore connues. Les chercheurs ont cependant pu établir plusieurs facteurs pouvant avoir une influence dans l’apparition de la maladie comme les infections chroniques comme le virus Epstein-Barr, la malaria, le VIH ou la bactérie Helicobacter pylori. Des déficits immunitaires prolongés (syndrome de Wiskott-Aldrich, syndrome de Gougerot-Sjögren) semblent également augmenter les risques. De plus, des facteurs environnementaux rentreraient en compte, telle l’exposition à des pesticides ou autres substances toxiques, une chimiothérapie ou la prise de certains médicaments (immunodépresseurs). Traitement d’un lymphomeLe traitement d’un lymphome dépend de son type ainsi que du stade de son évolution. Le taux de survie chez l’adulte varie entre 50 et 80%. Les cancers des lymphocytes B répondent mieux au traitement que ceux des lymphocytes T.Lors du stade précoce de la maladie, la radiothérapie est utilisée afin de détruire localement les cellules cancéreuses et éviter leur propagation. Des faisceaux de rayon X à haute énergie sont ainsi dirigés vers les ganglions atteints.

Elle est souvent effectuée en plusieurs cycles, via intraveineuse ou par voie orale et combinée avec la radiothérapie.Si le traitement n’est pas efficace, une greffe des cellules souches peut également être effectuée. Il s’agit de remplacer les cellules de la moelle osseuse malade par des cellules de moelle saine. Celle-ci est généralement prélevée sur le patient avant de débuter la chimiothérapie.

Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has hit back after alleged racial chanting during his team’s loss to Inter on Wednesday.The Senegal international has called out fans who subjected him to racist insults during Napoli’s 1-0 loss to Inter at the San Siro.A late goal from Lautaro Martinez ensured the home team picked up all three points and reduced the gap behind Carlo Ancelotti’s side to five points.After the game, Ancelotti said Napoli requested the match be suspended on three separate occasions due to fans directing racial chants at Koulibaly.The former AC Milan manager claimed there were warnings issued to fans in the stadium but that the chants continued regardless.On Twitter, Koulibaly, who was shown a red card towards the end of the game, told his followers that he is “proud” of his heritage and glad to be a part of the Partenopei.“I’m sorry for the defeat and above all for having left my brothers!” he wrote.

Share your voice The free version of Call Filter will block robocalls and send you spam alerts. Scott Olson / Getty Images New tools to help block robocalls are now available for Verizon customers. On Thursday, the wireless carrier said it started rolling out a free version of its Call Filter service to all customers.Verizon in January said it would be expanding its spam- and robocall-prevention features to more customers. The free version of Call Filter lets you get spam alerts, report unsolicited numbers and block robocalls. Verizon said all postpaid customers with a compatible device can enroll, though some features will vary based on the type of phone you have. HP Laptop 15t Value: $520 (save $780) Turo is kind of like Uber meets Airbnb: You borrow someone’s car, but you do all the driving. I’ve used it many times and found it a great alternative to traditional car-rental services — in part because you get to choose exactly the vehicle you want (not just, say, “midsize”) and in part because you can often do pickup and dropoff right outside baggage claim.Between now and Sept. 1, the first 300 people to check out can get $30 off any Turo rental with promo code LDW30.

Wait — no, I’m not. As much as I respect the original intent of the holiday (which became official back in 1894), to most of us, it’s just a bonus day off — one that’s blissfully tacked onto a weekend. So, yeah, stores; go ahead, run your sales. I’m listening. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Labor Day doesn’t bring out bargains to compete with the likes of Black Friday (which will be here before you know it), but there are definitely some sales worth your time.For example:We’ve rounded up the best Labor Day mattress deals.We’ve also gathered the best Labor Day laptop deals at Best Buy.The 2019 Vizio P Series Quantum is back under $999.Be sure to check out Amazon’s roughly three dozen Labor Day deals on TVs and audio. Google Express is having a big sale as well, one that includes deals on game consoles, AirPods, iPhones, laptops and more.Below I’ve rounded up a handful of individual items I consider to be the cream of the crop, followed by a handy reference guide to other Labor Day sales. Keep in mind, of course, that products may sell out at any time, even if the sale itself is still running. Note that CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page. $6 at Tidal Spotify and most other streaming services rely on compressed audio, which robs the listener of full fidelity. Enter Tidal, the only “major” service that delivers lossless audio — meaning at least on par with CD quality, if not better. Want to see (er, hear) the difference for yourself? Grab this excellent extended trial while you can. It’s just $6 for three months, and it’s good for up to six listeners.

Formerly known as the Google Home Hub, Google’s Nest Hub packs a wealth of Google Assistant goodness into a 7-inch screen. At $59, this is within a buck of the best price we’ve seen. It lists for $129 and sells elsewhere in the $89-to-$99 range.This is one item of many available as part of eBay’s Labor Day Sale (which, at this writing, doesn’t specifically mention Labor Day, but that’s how it was pitched to us).

I thought this might be a mistake, but, no, the weirdly named HP Laptop 15t Value is indeed quite the value at this price. Specs include an Intel Core i7 processor, 12GB of RAM, a 256GB solid-state drive and a 15.6-inch display. However, I strongly recommend paying an extra $50 to upgrade that display to FHD (1,920×1,080), because you’re not likely to be happy with the native 1,366×768 resolution. $59 at eBay The problem with most entry-level laptops: They come with mechanical hard drives. That makes for a mighty slow Windows experience. This Lenovo model features a 128GB solid-state drive, so it should be pretty quick to boot and load software, even with its basic processor. Plus, it has a DVD-burner! That’s not something you see in many modern laptops, especially at this price. Chris Monroe/CNET Verizon still offers a paid version of Call Filter, which costs $2.99 a month per line. The paid service offers additional tools like the ability to identify unknown callers by name and a spam number lookup feature.The company also said Thursday that its began deployment of the STIR/SHAKEN caller ID technology recommended by the Federal Communications Commission. The STIR/SHAKEN standard verifies that the phone number shown on caller ID is the actually the phone number that placed the call. It’s an attempt to combat call spoofing, which happens when scammers hijack numbers similar to yours to make you think it could be someone you know calling.T-Mobile in January began using the caller ID standard, and earlier this month AT&T and Comcast said they’d offer call authentication between their networks later this year.
