Addiction Rehab Facilities Global Market Report 2024: Market Size To Reach $27.6 Billion By 2028Bryce Young found himself benched by the Carolina Panthers two starts into his sophomore season ... but last year's first overall pick has found success since returning to the lineup in week eight -- and Rod Wave may have something to do with the turnaround! The backstory ... the 26-year-old rapper took to social media, asking the Panthers signal caller to hit his line after he was pulled, and many fans wondered if the call happened, and if so, what'd the fellas discuss? I wonder what Rod Wave told Bryce Young😭😭 pic.twitter.com/VDxXOouWuP On Wednesday, Young resolved the mystery ... and while he wouldn't go into specifics, he did address the convo, and it's clear he's very appreciative. "He had just hit me when I got benched and everything," he said. "Being supportive, just like sending support. So I was definitely grateful for that." So what did @rodwave say to Bryce Young?! Here’s your answer: pic.twitter.com/l4apidOF2P Young revealed he had been a big fan of Wave's music, but did not know him personally before the two got in contact after the Instagram post. While the Panthers still sit at a dismal 3-9, the team has been significantly more competitive since Young returned to the starting lineup. BY has completed 102 of his 169 passes in those five games ... for six touchdowns and three interceptions. As for Rod, he's yet to comment on the conversations, but if the 23-year-old keeps improving ...

These non-biodegradable bags continue to pollute the city, choke sewerage systems, and exacerbate garbage issues. The authorities have even halted the drive against plastic carry bags for reasons known only to them. The civic body has conducted sporadic drives to seize banned plastic carry bags in the past, but the impact has been minimal. Political interference has hindered progress, and the lack of public cooperation worsens the issue. During his five-year term, former mayor Balkar Sandhu repeatedly urged residents to shun plastic carry bags and emphasised the need for sustainable alternatives, but to no avail. Even awareness drives have been conducted to educate the public about alternative measures. Civic officials organised rallies, distributed cloth and paper bags, and encouraged traders to adopt eco-friendly practices. Notably, a small vegetable market was declared plastic-free, but the momentum was lost during the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent assembly elections, after which it failed to regain pace. An official revealed that over 70% of the city’s issues stem from plastic carry bags, citing sewerage blockages and solid waste problems. “Real change will only come when the public stops using plastic carry bags,” he emphasised. Chief sanitary officer Ashwani Sahota, when contacted about the drive, said: “The staff was busy with the ongoing sanitation drive, which is why we were unable to carry out the drive against plastic carry bags. We have limited staff, but in the coming days, we will resume the challaning drive.” To tackle the problem, the civic body had even installed a shredder at the hot mix plant on Hambran Road so that seized plastic carry bags could be disposed of and utilised in road construction. Officials claimed that now, with the drive not being carried out, plastic carry bags are not reaching the shredder. They also said that they would not be able to use the plastic in road construction at their level, so they have instructed contractors to arrange the plastic waste as per their requirements and use it in road construction. The state government first introduced the Punjab Plastic Carry Bag Act in 2005, regulating the manufacture and use of plastic carry bags. The Act was amended in 2016, imposing a complete ban on manufacturing, stocking, and using plastic carry bags in the state.

Then Wednesday's targeted fatal shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk thrust the executive and his business into the national spotlight. Thompson, who was 50, had worked at the giant UnitedHealth Group Inc for 20 years and run the insurance arm since 2021 after running its Medicare and retirement business. As CEO, Thompson led a firm that provides health coverage to more than 49 million Americans — more than the population of Spain. United is the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans, the privately run versions of the U.S. government’s Medicare program for people age 65 and older. The company also sells individual insurance and administers health-insurance coverage for thousands of employers and state-and federally funded Medicaid programs. The business run by Thompson brought in $281 billion in revenue last year, making it the largest subsidiary of the Minnetonka, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group. His $10.2 million annual pay package, including salary, bonus and stock options awards, made him one of the company's highest-paid executives. The University of Iowa graduate began his career as a certified public accountant at PwC and had little name recognition beyond the health care industry. Even to investors who own its stock, the parent company's face belonged to CEO Andrew Witty, a knighted British triathlete who has testified before Congress. When Thompson did occasionally draw attention, it was because of his role in shaping the way Americans get health care. At an investor meeting last year, he outlined his company's shift to “value-based care,” paying doctors and other caregivers to keep patients healthy rather than focusing on treating them once sick.

But navigating a future through value-based care unlocks a situation where the ... family doesn’t have to make the decisions on their own.” Thompson also drew attention in 2021 when the insurer, like its competitors, was widely criticized for a plan to start denying payment for what it deemed non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms. “Patients are not medical experts and should not be expected to self-diagnose during what they believe is a medical emergency,” the chief executive of the American Hospital Association wrote in an open letter addressed to Thompson. “Threatening patients with a financial penalty for making the wrong decision could have a chilling effect on seeking emergency care.” United Healthcare responded by delaying rollout of the change. Thompson, who lived in a Minneapolis suburb and was the married father of two sons in high school, was set to speak at an investor meeting in a midtown New York hotel. He was on his own and about to enter the building when he was shot in the back by a masked assailant who fled on foot before pedaling an e-bike into Central Park a few blocks away, the New York Police Department said. Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said investigators were looking at Thompson's social media accounts and interviewing employees and family members. “Didn’t seem like he had any issues at all,” Kenny said. "He did not have a security detail.” AP reporters Michael R. Sisak and Steve Karnowski contributed to this report. Murphy reported from Indianapolis.
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died. He was 100 years old and had spent more than a year in hospice care. The Georgia peanut farmer served one turbulent term in the White House before building a reputation as a global humanitarian and champion of democracy. He defeated President Gerald Ford in 1976 promising to restore trust in government but lost to Ronald Reagan four years later amid soaring inflation, gas station lines and the Iran hostage crisis. He and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, then formed The Carter Center, and he earned a Nobel Peace Prize while making himself the most active and internationally engaged of former presidents. The Carter Center said the former president died Sunday afternoon in Plains, Georgia.
