Trump Demands Death Penalty for ISIS Loyalist Behind NYC Terror Truck Attack

Donald Trump said in a series of tweets that 29 year-old Sayfullo Saipov should face the death penalty for the truck attack that killed 8 people in lower Manhattan on Tuesday.

Tweeted Trump:

“NYC terrorist was happy as he asked to hang ISIS flag in his hospital room. He killed 8 people, badly injured 12. SHOULD GET DEATH PENALTY! Would love to send the NYC terrorist to Guantanamo but statistically that process takes much longer than going through the Federal system……There is also something appropriate about keeping him in the home of the horrible crime he committed. Should move fast. DEATH PENALTY!”

A few reactions on Twitter:

Advocating the death penalty before trial isn’t justice, it’s a lynching. I despise what this man did to our city, but Trump is wrong here. t.co/YM80cFj7B6

The President of the United States screaming for the DEATH PENALTY is the modern-day equivalent of a monarch yelling “off with his head!”

I miss normal. I miss having a leader who knew we have a functioning justice system, not a dictator in charge. t.co/4MeuZY6Jqw

Remember when Trump called for the death penalty for the Charlottesville terrorist?

“Our president” keeps insisting we give the terrorist who attacked NY the death penalty without due process. I forgot we’re an autocracy now

Preparing Your Body For IVF
This week is National Fertility Awareness Week, a week which aims to raise awareness and change perceptions of fertility issues, as well as raising funds to help provide much-needed support for the 1 in 6 couples, and others, in the UK who struggle with infertility.

This year celebrates the 40th anniversary of IVF, a technique which has seen more than five million babies born worldwide since its introduction. Typically performed in women aged between 30-39, there are many myths surrounding various techniques that will help to aid your conception.

If you’re trying to conceive through IVF, you’ll most likely hear a range of facts and myths about what you can do to boost your chances. It’s important that you know what will and won’t help you so that you can increase your chances, as well as enjoy the time as much as possible.

The most common question I get asked is around diet. It goes without saying that having a healthy body weight and ensuring that food intake is balanced with your physical activity level is an important factor for fertility. Being both underweight and overweight can affect a woman’s chance of conceiving and delivering a healthy, normal weight baby.

Studies have found that women with high “fertility diet” scores emphasised by a higher monounsaturated to trans-fat ratio, vegetable over animal protein, high-fat over low-fat dairy, a decreased glycemic load, and an increased intake of iron and multivitamins had lower rates of infertility due to ovulation disorders.

Similarly, exercise plays an important role in fertility, specifically, over-exercise and studies show that women who reported regular exercise had a similar live birth rate compared to women who did not exercise. However, women who exercised four or more hours per week for 1-9 years were 40% less likely to have a live birth, three times more likely to experience cycle cancellation, twice as likely to have an implantation failure or pregnancy loss compared to women who did not report exercise. However, compared to women who did not exercise, women who exercised regularly for 1-5 years were at greater risk for failure of cycle stimulation, implantation failure, and failure to develop a live birth after a chemical pregnancy.

This can be easily prevented though with the incorporation of active recovery into training and the gradual varying of intensity and volume of training.

Another area which receives a lot of attention relating to fertility issues is acupuncture. Some studies suggest that acupuncture may have a beneficial effect in female infertility as an adjuvant therapy, but unfortunately evidence is not conclusive and more studies are needed to clarify the clinical efficacy of acupuncture and its biological mechanism in female infertility. It’s important to know that there are many factors affecting your fertility and chances of successful IVF. Your doctor should discuss your individual needs with you and advise on what steps you can personally take to improve your chances.

To better understand your chances of conceiving, learn more about your personal diagnosis and receive general guidance on the various factors affecting fertility, you can visit fertilitypedia.org/.

Family Tied Up By Armed Gang In £100k Bothwell Jewellery Raid
A family has been left shaken after an armed gang broke into their home and carried out a terrifying jewellery raid.

A 59-year-old man, a 56-year-old woman and an 11-year-old boy were threatened with weapons and a knife before they were tied up in Bothwell, South Lanarkshire, on Tuesday evening.

The gang of four men then searched the house, making off with jewellery and watches worth more than £100,000.

After the gang left, one of the family members was able to contact the police.

The suspects all spoke in what is described as broken English and the following descriptions have been provided:

“Officers are currently carrying out enquiries into this robbery and gathering CCTV footage to gather more information on the four men responsible.  There are also additional police patrols in the area to provide public reassurance.

“We do however need the help of the local community and at this time we are urging anyone who may have seen these men in the area prior to the robbery taking place, or who may have seen them leaving afterwards to contact police immediately.”

EU Nurses And Midwives Continue To Leave The NHS After Brexit, ‘Worrying’ New Figures Show
The number of EU nurses and midwives wanting to work in the UK is continuing to fall, with new figures showing a 67% rise in the number leaving the register in the past year.

The overall number leaving the profession has risen by 13% in the last 12 months, the figures from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) show.

Between October 2016 and September 2017, 35,363 left the register – up from 31,178 in the previous 12 months.

UK-born nurses make up the greatest proportion of those leaving, rising by 9% from 26,653 last year to 29,019 this year.

But EU nurses saw a much greater increase. A total of 4,067 EU of them left this year, compared to 2,435 between October 2015 and September 2016, the figures show.

The NMC described the data as “worrying”, prompting fears that the NHS is facing “major challenges” to retain staff.

NMC figures show that since last year’s Brexit vote, there has been a sharp drop in the numbers joining the profession from the continent.

Meanwhile, the numbers joining from the EU as Brexit looms has nosedived – down 89% from 10,178 last year to 1,107 this year, according to the NMC.

EU workers currently make up 5% of the NMC’s register.

Jackie Smith, chief executive and registrar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council, said: “It’s worrying that we are seeing a continuing rise in nurses and midwives leaving the register and our data is clear that this is being driven by both UK and EU registrants.

“These figures continue to highlight the major challenges faced by the UK’s health and care sectors around the recruitment and retention of staff. Nurses and midwives work incredibly hard in very difficult circumstances. Those responsible for workforce matters will no doubt respond to what these trends are showing.”

But the Government said it represented a minuscule decrease in overall staffing numbers.

The Department of Health pointed to figures showing that 357 more nurses are working on wards this year compared to last year and a further 52,000 are in training.

Attempting to ease concerns about the impact Brexit could have on staffing numbers, it added that 3,193 more EU nationals are working in the NHS than at the time of the referendum in June 2016.

A spokeswoman said: “These figures represent a mere 0.2% decrease in the 689, 738 nurses and midwives currently registered with the NMC and there are in fact more nurses on our wards since last year.

“We are fully committed to supporting hardworking NHS staff through helping them to balance work-life commitments and we are also ensuring the NHS has the staff it needs for the future through our 25% increase in nurse training places – the biggest in the history of the NHS.”

Unions responded to the findings by calling for a pay rise to encourage staff to stay.

Unite head of health Sarah Carpenter said: “The disturbing NMC findings are further evidence, if more were needed, that the NHS needs a massive cash injection, with a large tranche earmarked for a generous pay rise for staff.

“The NHS has been buffeted by austerity-driven cuts and services are at breaking point – since 2010 the majority of the NHS workforce has seen their pay packets eroded by at least 14% in real terms.

“This is not the time for the chancellor to indulge in clever accounting tricks linked to so-called ‘productivity’ savings. This is the final wake-up call on NHS pay to staunch the rapidly increasing exodus of highly skilled staff.”
