Jason Aldean's wife blames 'wokeness' for Billboard 100 greatest country artists of all time list snubQatar is well positioned to assume leadership roles in genomics globally, Dr Robert Green, an internationally renowned genetic professor told Gulf Times . “I am really impressed by the sophistication, the collaborative nature, and the ambition of the Qatari scientists that I have met," observed the physician–scientist at Mass General Brigham, an integrated healthcare system in the US, and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. "It is stunning how quickly traction is being gained here in genomics and precision medicine. I think Qatar has the ability to move into leadership positions, as it already is there in some areas, but can move into more and more leadership positions, and I genuinely admire that,” he said. Dr Green, recently in Qatar for the first time, was interacting with Gulf Times at an event. A pioneer in genomics, his work is accelerating the implementation of preventive genomics and precision medicine. He explained: “I admire the commitment and the ambition, and particularly the collaborative nature of the research at so many levels, both within Doha and in the country and with the international community. I think that is what it takes in genomics. This is really an international community, and the scientists here are part of it and are going to continue to be part of it in the years to come.” Dr Green said many countries in the Middle East have ambitions around genomics, and have stated their projects. “I think that creating biobanks, creating screening programmes, creating workflows within the electronic health record, are different stages of piloting and implementation in all the countries I have visited. I am very much impressed with what is going on here in Doha. This is my first visit to Doha, and I am thrilled to be here and looking forward to coming back and contributing in any way I can.” He noted that the field of genomics is looking at large numbers of genes to detect either a diagnosis in somebody who is sick, or the presence of a risk factor in someone with a family history, or even in the general population. He elaborated: “One of the most exciting things that my work involves, is the idea of screening people, both adults and children, who don't manifest symptoms at this particular moment, and screening them for conditions that may manifest later in life. That's called population precision health. It is a very exciting development, made possible by the fact that the technology is becoming cheaper and more sophisticated.” Most countries, according to the genomic expert, has already started screening newborns. “We have what is called newborn screening, which is a blood spot that goes to a laboratory and looks for mostly biochemical abnormalities, and that has been one of the public health miracles around the world and it is working very well. Now the question is, can we add to that, and detect rarer disease using these new technologies. We call that newborn sequencing, which is in addition to conventional newborn screening,” he remarked. The genomics professor highlighted that his project ‘BabySeq’ was one of the first in the world to try this and has generated a lot of scientific reports. “We have demonstrated that it is not dangerous, it is not so stressful. We discover an enormous amount of information, most of that information is actionable, meaning you can do something about it to prevent future disease, or mitigate future disease. A number of companies and countries have followed suit, providing this in different ways,” he said. “We have created a startup company, Nurture Genomics, which is a dynamic platform, so you sequence once, and then you can dynamically update the interpretation every year to find the new 100, 200 or 300 mutations that have been discovered that year, and to find those specific children who need a treatment that year,” added Dr Green.

Spotlight on Amgen: Analyzing the Surge in Options ActivityAlberta working to get money's worth on Turkish medication deal after two years EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the government is working to get taxpayer value for the money it paid for medication that has yet to be approved and delivered. Lisa Johnson, The Canadian Press Dec 6, 2024 3:43 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message Alberta Premier Danielle Smith address the children's medication shortage in Edmonton on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the government is working to get taxpayer value for the money it paid for medication that has yet to be approved and delivered. Smith announced the plan two years ago amid a national shortage of children's pain medication. The province spent $70 million upfront to import five million bottles from Turkey-based Atabay Pharmaceuticals. But Alberta Health Services said Friday that Health Canada only approved 1.5 million bottles or $21 million worth of product. That left a credit of $49 million. Smith said this week the holdup is with Health Canada, which would have to approve a new suite of imports for the province to get its money's worth. “We’re waiting for Health Canada to work with AHS to identify the products, get the formulations, approve it, so that we're able to execute on it. Those things take time," Smith said in a year-end interview. The premier said the province had to pay the $70 million upfront. "They delivered a portion, and then the supply chains were restored, and we didn't need to fulfil it with the two products we'd initially ordered. So we have a credit on file with Atabay,” said Smith. The government and AHS declined to say what specific products they're seeking or when they might arrive. “We want it to be delivered soon," said Smith. Health Canada said it cannot comment on submissions until they are added to their public lists of submissions under review. AHS said the $70-million prepayment went to Edmonton-based medical supplier MHCare. AHS did not address questions about how common it is to pay the entire contracting fee upfront with no apparent backstops to ensure fulfilment. The costs of shipping, waste disposal and other administration tied to the deal were initially estimated to be an extra $10 million, but are yet to be finalized. NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi said Smith's United Conservative government signed a deal that didn't follow normal procurement practices, and it backfired. "The federal government had already signed a deal to get real Tylenol onto the shelves that arrived before the Turkish Tylenol," he told The Canadian Press. "Albertans should be really angry, because we basically have given $80 million of taxpayers money that could have built schools." Smith's government has stood by the decision to import the medication because, in late 2022, parents were desperate to find relief for their children at the height of the respiratory virus season. The purchase has long been mired in difficulties. It was immediately beset by delays, as the province sought regulatory approvals and sorted out packaging and warning labels. Pharmacists had to keep some of the medicine behind the counter to make sure customers who bought it were aware of the comparatively lower dosage. Hospital neonatal units eventually stopped using it due to safety concerns. The purchase also sparked questions about whether the province's relaxed ethics rules meant elected officials could be bought for the right price. Multiple UCP cabinet ministers have said they accepted free tickets from MHCare to Edmonton Oilers hockey games during the Stanley Cup playoffs. They said they followed conflict-of-interest rules and denied any claims of disreputable behaviour. Health Minister Adriana LaGrange has said AHS has identified what imported adult medications it could use, is in negotiations with Atabay and is working to get approval from Health Canada. “Once those processes have been gone through, I will be happy to share exactly what those medications are,” she said Thursday. "My goal has always been to get products that we can use, get maximum value out of what's remaining on the books there, and that's what's happening."

Union Minister for Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Dr Soe Win received Mr Abhay Thakur, Indian Ambassador to Myanmar, in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday. Both sides discussed the progress in project operations in Rakhine State under the MoU of the two countries. The launching ceremony of two second-year projects implemented in Rakhine State was organized in a hybrid format, and Rakhine State Economic Minister U San Shwe Maung joined online. The Union minister clarified the India-aided development projects and appreciated the support of the Indian government in humanitarian assistance and scholarships to develop human resources, and the Indian Ambassador discussed the current situation of development projects. The deputy director-general of the Disaster Management Department reported on the condition of second-year projects and clarified the two projects – the construction of an incinerator at Public Hospital and the water distribution project. — MNA/KTZHDefiant, President Zurabishvili Announces Coordinating Political CouncilHARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania conceded his reelection bid to Republican David McCormick on Thursday, as a statewide recount showed no signs of closing the gap and his campaign suffered repeated blows in court in its effort to get potentially favorable ballots counted. Casey’s concession comes more than two weeks after Election Day, as a grindingly slow ballot-counting process became a spectacle of hours-long election board meetings, social media outrage, lawsuits and accusations that some county officials were openly flouting the law. Republicans had been claiming that Democrats were trying to steal McCormick’s seat by counting “illegal votes.” Casey’s campaign had accused of Republicans of trying to block enough votes to prevent him from pulling ahead and winning. In a statement, Casey said he had just called McCormick to congratulate him. “As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last," Casey said. The Associated Press called the race for McCormick on Nov. 7, concluding that not enough ballots remained to be counted in areas Casey was winning for him to take the lead. As of Thursday, McCormick led by about 16,000 votes out of almost 7 million ballots counted. That was well within the 0.5% margin threshold to trigger an automatic statewide recount under Pennsylvania law. But no election official expected a recount to change more than a couple hundred votes or so, and Pennsylvania's highest court dealt him a blow when it refused entreaties to allow counties to count mail-in ballots that lacked a correct handwritten date on the return envelope. Republicans will have a 53-47 majority next year in the U.S. Senate. Follow Marc Levy at twitter.com/timelywriter
We have recognized before that the policy of hostility towards Cuba has been a mistake. First of all, because it never worked to achieve its objectives. But also because it was counterproductive... We know that Cuban policy does not automatically align itself with the enemies of the United States; and that it is not fair to have put Cuba on the list of terrorist countries, where none of our allies have it. If Cuba feels like a besieged fortress, and fears that its opponents are at the service of a foreign power, we would like to reiterate that it will have no reason to perceive any threat from us... That is why we have invited a group of young students and professors from public universities, doctors, farmers, businesspeople, communicators, artists, scientists, religious people from various states, some of whom have already initiated exchanges with Cuba on their own, to accompany us in this meeting, so that they may take part in this new dialogue between civil societies on both shores. A dialogue that should not be limited, naturally, to the non-state sector, but should include primary and secondary school teachers, university professors, health specialists, journalists from public media, People’s Power delegates, diplomats, experts in law and public order, leaders of the Communist Party of Cuba and the Young Communist League, all of whom also constitute the human capital of the new Cuba. We witnessed how the previous administration poisoned the atmosphere of understanding achieved in 25 months of intense negotiations, and recharged it with the sound and fury of the worst moments of the Cold War; it closed the doors of the consulate in Havana to the relatives of Cuban immigrants in the United States; it restricted air traffic between our airports and those of the Cuban provinces; it interrupted the people-to-people exchange policy; it severely limited remittances, and put the channels for their delivery in crisis; finally, it obliquely encouraged rhetoric hostile to normalization within Cuba itself. This is how I imagined, in the first hundred days of his administration, a speech by Joe Biden in Havana. I reproduce it here, not only to illustrate how one makes mistakes at the beginning of a government, but to remember the lost opportunities and the policies not rectified at the time; and how history never stops taking its toll. In all fairness, when Biden and Harris took office in January 2021, all the forecasts were optimistic, not just mine. From “anything will be better than Trump” to “he will pick up where relations left off under Obama.” And so on. But those predictions were nothing more than calculations and opinions based on the U.S.-Cuba rapprochement under Obama, of whose administration the new president and numerous appointees in his new government had been part. However, it was not known how those same people were going to act in their new roles, and in the context of a work team that was beginning its first term. The advantage we have now regarding the future is that we do know how President Trump behaved in his previous government; and how Biden’s behaved. Let’s see how much we can extract from a cold assessment, which allows us to think about the present and the foreseeable future, so as not to make mistakes again, by excess or by default.

Within the first 100 days, the Treasury Department put Cuba on a list of countries that favor money laundering, and just five months after taking office, the president proclaimed in Miami that he was “canceling President Obama’s completely unilateral agreement with Cuba,” “firmly limiting the money that flows to the military services” [remittances], as well as “enforcing the ban on tourism” [people-to-people individual visits and cruises ]. Trump’s changes At that gathering of “Cuban-American brotherhood” at Miami’s Manuel Artime Theater, the new president would make clear, however, that he would maintain “safeguards to prevent Cubans from risking their lives by traveling illegally to the United States” [ the cancellation of the dry foot/wet foot policy ], as well as “our Embassy open with the hope that our countries can forge a much stronger and better path.” The most radical action in Trump’s turn toward Cuba occurred in August of his first year: the affair of the “ sonic attacks ” against U.S. diplomats and representatives in Havana. This affair served to reduce the staff at its Embassy in Havana to a minimum and to suspend de facto the processing of immigrant visas, agreed since 1995. I have no space to dwell here on the boom of conspiracy speculations unleashed among many commentators on bilateral relations, attributing those strange and never verified “neurological damages” of the supposed victims to the surreptitious action of a mysterious “external” or internal factor (“the Cuban G2”). The harvest of the so-called “Havana syndrome,” harvested by respectable news agencies and periodicals, and quickly replicated in Beijing and other propitious places, with a true cloud of covert actions attributed to incarnations of the evil empire (Russia, North Korea, Iran), vanished into nothingness. However, its direct consequences in the interruption of the Cuban migratory flow to the United States and the deterrent effect among possible visitors, extended for more than five years, were very tangible. In November of that first year, 2017, the U.S. government launched its first blacklist of “prohibited Cuban organizations and companies” (179), including the Ministry of the Armed Forces and Ministry of the Interior, agencies, companies, hotels, etc. This inquisitorial index grew until it reached almost 250. I believe that, at this point, there is only one hotel in Havana where visiting Americans can legally stay. The second event that would mark the extent of Trump’s hostility towards Cuba was his failure to sign the suspension of Title III of the Helms-Burton Act in May 2019. The decision, which not even the George W. Bush administration had adopted, left the door open to a frenzy of lawsuits against third-country interests, which could be presented not only by U.S. firms nationalized in 1959-60, but by affected Cubans (who at the time were not U.S. citizens), including, say, members of the Batista dictatorship whose embezzled property was confiscated in 1959. Naturally, most experts predicted a wave of lawsuits against Cuba’s numerous foreign investors and trade partners. It is difficult to measure the psychological inhibitory effect that this application of Title III of the Helms-Burton Act could have, in 2019 and subsequently, on these potential businesses. However, expectations about the wave of lawsuits were not met; and some that seemed to be initiated were resolved by agreement between the parties. This observation does not underestimate their negative impact, it only attempts to establish the effectiveness and scope of these hostile measures. A striking example was the litigation against large Cuban-American businessmen, the Fanjul brothers, for having bought Cuban sugar from London, which the claimant finally abandoned . Subsequently, the number of remittances was again restricted, people-to-people visits and direct flights to the provinces were canceled, dozens of vessels transporting crude oil to Cuba were blacklisted, new Cuban entities were included among those prohibited, the agreement was canceled between both sides so that players residing on the island could participate in the Major Leagues, numerous European companies were fined for transactions with Cuban institutions, Cuba was classified in the worst category of countries that practice “human trafficking.” In his last year in the White House, the Trump administration banned Western Union from sending remittances to the island , put Cuba on the list of “countries that do not cooperate in the fight against terrorism,” put us on the highest “risk alert category for visits by U.S. citizens,” prohibited them from bringing rum and tobacco from the island in their suitcases, eliminated the general license to attend conferences, sports competitions, art exhibitions, etc.; extended restrictions on funds for cultural and educational exchanges, and kept us on the watch list of “governments that have participated in or tolerated systematic, continuous, and atrocious violations of religious freedom.” Ten days before leaving the presidency, Trump made sure that Cuba remained on the List of State Sponsors of Terrorism. How many of these measures have been dismantled by Biden in his first and only term, as announced just days after taking office? Very few and none of the main ones. Quite the opposite. Despite having declared himself “committed to reviewing the previous administration’s policy decisions, including that of designating Cuba as a sponsor of terrorism,” the island was never removed from that list. The regulations established would prevent supplies of spare parts for the main Cuban thermoelectric plants by European companies, as well as equipment for transportation services. About a hundred banks blocked accounts and transactions related to Cuba, including humanitarian donations; fines were imposed on accommodation agencies such as Airbnb for violating prohibitions on categories of travelers; the Cuban government was accused of nothing less than “interfering in the US elections”; the inclusion of the island on the list of countries “that do not do enough to prevent human trafficking” was maintained, alleging that “medical missions abroad” presented “strong signs of forced labor.” The blockade policy did not give way even in exceptional situations, such as the fire at the Supertanker Base in Matanzas . I have previously commented, with references from the Foreign Ministry itself and from U.S. diplomats in Havana, on the instructions and actions aimed at directly supporting the opposition, since before the demonstrations of July 11, 2021 . To a large extent, this interventionist and hostile tone, initiated under Trump, and reflected even in the discourse of President Biden himself, was further reinforced from that moment on, marking the climate of relations from then on. The Biden administration kept the flame of the “Havana syndrome” alive, granting compensation to “the victims,” without advancing a serious investigation into the problem itself, but rather prolonging the closure of consular services for visa processing, and breaching the migration agreement, until relatively recently. For four years, the Trump administration continued to “study” the exclusion of Cuba from all blacklists, in particular, those of terrorist countries, practitioners of “slave labor,” “human trafficking,” and other that were equally disconcerting, and lacking the endorsement of any of its allies. Derived from this meticulous and incomplete inventory, a couple of conclusions jump out. The first is that the Trump administration applied practically everything imaginable in the U.S. arsenal, except military force, to isolate, erode, destabilize, and subvert not only the Cuban government but the system itself. It is difficult to conceive of new measures that, in the next four years, could catch Cuba and Cubans off guard. Although the old ones can continue to cause a lot of damage, especially today, experience shows, for the hundredth time, that they do not achieve more than what dialogue does, and that they also affect not only the government and residents in Cuba but also emigrants and their descendants in the United States. The second is that the Biden administration, despite integrating decision-makers from the Obama administration, not only did not want to resume that policy but, by omission and also by conviction, in fact, adopted Trump’s logic. The explanation that its hands have been full of all kinds of global and regional conflicts and challenges is not enough to justify this fidelity to a Cold War pattern towards Cuba as the one that is maintained, not only in the facts but even in his rhetoric, very similar to that of Trump. For Cuba, in practical terms, never as now has it been more evident that the policy of force and exclusion has a bipartisan character, that it continues in the logic of the so-called deep state, the bureaucracies in charge of implementing it, regardless of who is in the White House. A week before the end of his term in January 2017, Obama signed an agreement with Cuba ending the wet foot/dry foot policy (which he had previously refused to adopt, arguing that the Adjustment Act prevented it). And less than 48 hours after handing over the presidency to Trump, a company made an export to the United States (40 tons of vegetable charcoal from that shrub known as marabú in Cuba), the first in more than half a century. This administration has only 60 days left in government. How many executive measures could it adopt to reduce some of the most irrational and counterproductive areas of this bipartisan policy, based on exclusion and force? While this remains unfulfilled, the Cuban government, political system, and society, under the shock of Trump’s sweeping victory, are experiencing the anticipated tension in the face of what is to come. Typically, the syndrome of the besieged fortress will tend to increase. From experience, we Cubans know that this syndrome is not at all favorable to change. It is time to think carefully, with a cool head, about what can be done to control this damage.

As the United States prepares to enter a new administration under President Trump, the role of lawyers becomes increasingly pivotal in ensuring that this fundamental principle is upheld. Lawyers wield significant influence, serving as guardians of the Constitution and advocates for justice. During times of political transition and uncertainty, they must embody the ethical mandate that guides the legal profession—upholding integrity, fostering respect for the law, and protecting the rights bestowed upon citizens by the Constitution. To understand the gravity of the situation, one can reflect on the words of famed civil rights attorney, Bryan Stevenson, who once stated, “Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.” This assertion emphasizes the transformative power of the law and the necessity for a legal framework that fosters redemption, fairness, and opportunity. Stevenson’s vision underlines the lawyer’s responsibility to ensure that justice is accessible to all individuals, especially marginalized communities that may become more vulnerable in times when political rhetoric turns divisive. The incoming administration presents unique challenges that could test the resilience of the rule of law. The potential for executive overreach, as seen through the lens of recent historical precedents, raises alarms about the balance of power—a key ideal enshrined in the Constitution. Lawyers must remain vigilant, steadfast in their commitment to advocacy and litigation that holds the government accountable. Each case, each argument, and each legal battle contributes to the gradual yet essential evolution of justice and a respect for the law. One of the essential roles that lawyers play is as advocates for the Constitution. They possess the unique ability to interpret, argue, and apply constitutional principles, keeping in mind the underlying intent of the framers. In a democracy, dissent is a vital component of progress. Lawyers should ensure a robust system of checks and balances to protect against potential abuses of power by the government. As noted by New York Times columnist and lawyer Thomas Friedman, “In a democracy, the most important thing is the rule of law.” This underscores the notion that rule-bound governance creates stability, enabling the country to navigate through contentious political waters. In maintaining the integrity of the profession, lawyers not only serve their clients but also uphold ethical standards that reinforce public trust in the legal system. The American Bar Association (ABA) outlines a comprehensive set of ethical rules that emphasize a lawyer’s duty to maintain competence, confidentiality, and the loyalty owed to clients. Furthermore, ethical practice mandates that lawyers avoid complicity in unjust actions and encourage fairness and equality in their representation of all citizens. It is a lawyer’s sworn duty. As lawyers navigate through the new political landscape, they must remember that they are not merely servants of their clients but also champions of justice. Lawyers are entrusted with the task of interpreting this document, ensuring that it is honored and that citizens understand their rights and protections under the law. Educating the public about their constitutional rights is an invaluable aspect of a lawyer’s role, especially in an era when misinformation can easily proliferate. Moreover, the duty of lawyers extends beyond individual cases; their collective action can foster systemic change. Lawyer-led initiatives can address issues such as inequality, access to justice, and the protection of civil liberties. In the words of the legendary attorney Clarence Darrow, “The main purpose of the law is to make sure that we can live together.” By harnessing the power of the legal profession as a voice for the voiceless, lawyers can challenge injustice and advocate for necessary reforms, thereby reinforcing the principles of fairness and equity that the legal system is supposed to encapsulate. Ultimately, the responsibility to uphold the rule of law and maintain the integrity of the profession transcends individual ambition. The legal profession has a sacred duty, one that requires unity, collaboration, and vigilance. Only through a resolute commitment to legal principles and ethical standards can lawyers ensure that the United States continues to fortify its democratic foundations against the encroachment of potential tyranny. As the nation embarks on this new political chapter, lawyers must stand firm in their dedication to justice. Only through the unwavering resolve of legal professionals can America navigate its path forward, grounded in the rule of law, constitutional integrity, and unwavering respect for all human rights. The burden falls upon them, as the guardians of justice, to forge a society that honors its foundational principles and strives for equity and truth.

Trump named the 44-year-old veteran and Fox News host as his nominee for secretary of defense earlier this month. Now, The Guardian reports the man who could lead the Pentagon once wrote in 2020 that the U.S. might undergo “civil war” if Democrats won. In his book American Crusade , Hegseth laid out “the strategy we must employ in order to defeat America’s internal enemies” and called on the GOP to “mock, humiliate, intimidate, and crush our leftist opponents.” “America will decline and die,” Hegseth wrote, referring to a now-moot future where the Joe Biden won the election, according to The Guardian . “A national divorce will ensue. Outnumbered freedom lovers will fight back.” The U.S. armed forces are similarly-minded freedom lovers who would have to “make a choice,” he continued. If confirmed, Hegseth would lead the Pentagon and assume the second-most powerful position in the military’s chain of command. “The military and police, both bastions of freedom-loving patriots, will be forced to make a choice,” Hegseth wrote. “It will not be good. Yes, there will be some form of civil war.” John Whitehouse, news director at Media Matters for America told The Guardian the veteran has “always given off a proto-fascist vibe.” “The thing that appealed to him was going into Iraq as a crusader, and when that went wrong he started looking at America through the same lens,” Whitehouse told the outlet. The Independent has contacted Trump’s transition team for comment. In the days since Trump tapped him to lead the Pentagon, allegations against Hegseth of sexual misconduct and white supremacist associations have come to light. Hegseth was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Monterey, California in 2017 . The woman said Hegseth took her phone, blocked the door to a hotel room and refused to let her leave before assaulting her, according to a police report of the incident released Wednesday . The veteran has denied all wrongdoing. “The matter was fully investigated and I was completely cleared,” he said of the incident. Meanwhile, Hegseth has the phrase “Deus Vult” tattooed on his bicep, which has been used by white supremacists . "Deus Vult" is Latin for "God Wills It," and was a rallying cry for Christian crusaders in the Middle Ages. The tattoo previously resulted in Hegseth being flagged as a possible “Insider Threat” by a fellow service member due to its associations with white supremacy, the Associated Press reported. “Mr. Hegseth has the necessary experience and qualifications to implement President Trump’s pro-America policies, and none of these left-wing media concocted falsehoods will work to stop that mission,” Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, previously said in a statement regarding the tattoo.
