Top 10 Supplements for People Over 50: Boost Your Health and Vitality
What people seem to forget is protein, I struggled with a back pain and my bones for years , as you get older you need more than 100 grams of protein instead of the recommended daily intake of 80-100 grams. Started taking protein powder and never regretted it. My diet does not contain a lot of meat, so I really needed that extra protein boost. No pain and can train and do exercises as normal. -

Gunman Killed by Bystanders after Fatal Rampage in Prachin Buri
Picture courtesy: PArchinburi News via Siam Rath Prachin Buri, Thailand - A man went on a violent shooting spree that left two dead and three injured, only to meet his end at the hands of bystanders. The chaos unfolded this afternoon when the gunman began his attack at a local market, sparking terror throughout the area. At approximately 4 p.m., police received reports of a shooting in Tha Ngam, a subdistrict in Prachin Buri city. Responding swiftly, officers discovered a horrific scene at a petrol station near the market. One person lay dead, while another was injured. It emerged that the assailant had initiated his assault by pursuing two individuals from their nearby home, ultimately confronting them at the petrol station where he opened fire, killing one and injuring another. Not satisfied with the devastation already wrought, the gunman quickly fled the scene on a motorcycle. He made his way to Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital, where he parked near an adjacent house. From there, he proceeded to a grilled chicken shop, entering the establishment and once more unleashing a hail of bullets. This second eruption left four more individuals wounded. The mayhem drew the attention of relatives and bystanders at the shop, who acted decisively. Outraged and determined to stop the violence, they tackled the gunman and, in a dramatic turn, fatally stabbed him, bringing his rampage to an immediate halt. Tragically, one of the four individuals shot at the chicken shop later succumbed to their injuries at the hospital, raising the death toll to three, including the assailant. The identities of the victims are yet to be released by local authorities. Police have identified the gunman as 38-year-old Mr. Surat (surname withheld). As investigators work to piece together his motives, it has come to light that he had previously lived in a house near the eatery he targeted and had a history of violence, including a past slashing incident at the same location, reported Thai Newsroom. Community members are left reeling by this abrupt surge of violence, grasping for answers as police continue to investigate the tragic series of events. The community’s resilience and willingness to intervene played a crucial role in averting further potential casualties, illustrating both the desperation and bravery of those caught in the crossfire. As the investigation continues, officials are appealing for witnesses to come forward with any information that might illuminate the gunman's motivations and any underlying issues that might have precipitated this shocking ordeal. -- 2024-12-11 -

Israel’s Disinformation Campaign Against UNRWA
The Government of Israel has intensified its campaign against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), utilizing commercial advertisements, including billboards in various cities worldwide and paid Google ads on multiple websites. These measures mark the latest chapter in a broader effort by Israel to discredit UNRWA, with repeated public calls for the Agency’s dismantling. This campaign’s use of global advertising channels to brand a UN entity as a terror organization has raised serious concerns. Such accusations, presented through media typically reserved for commercial messaging, may qualify as hate speech. By leveraging corporations that ordinarily promote consumer products, the campaign’s reach and potential harm have expanded significantly. UNRWA, currently the largest humanitarian provider for Gaza’s population amidst an ongoing war, faces severe reputational damage as a result. This campaign not only undermines the Agency's mission but also endangers its personnel. Reports indicate that since the war in Gaza began, 251 UNRWA team members have lost their lives, with many killed in direct or repeated strikes on UNRWA facilities. Two-thirds of the Agency’s buildings in Gaza have sustained damage, further compounding the crisis. The implications of this disinformation campaign extend beyond reputational harm. By framing UNRWA in a manner that could incite hostility, the campaign potentially jeopardizes the safety of its workers on the ground. This heightened risk underscores the need for accountability. Advocacy groups and international observers have stressed that those responsible for propagating such disinformation—including advertisement companies—must cease their involvement immediately. Calls for regulatory measures to curb the dissemination of damaging and potentially dangerous narratives are growing. Observers argue that mechanisms to address the misuse of advertising platforms for spreading disinformation about humanitarian organizations are essential to prevent further harm. Amid an escalating humanitarian crisis, UNRWA’s role remains critical, providing essential aid to a population enduring immense suffering. Efforts to undermine its work not only compromise the Agency’s effectiveness but also pose a direct threat to those it serves and employs. The international community is urged to take swift action to safeguard UNRWA’s mission and the lives of its personnel. Based on a report by UNRWA Press Release 2024-12-11 -

Kemi Badenoch and JD Vance Strengthen Ties Ahead of Trump Administration
Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the UK Conservative Party, recently dined with U.S. Vice President-elect JD Vance, marking a renewal of their political and personal camaraderie as preparations for Donald Trump’s return to the White House progress. The two have maintained a steady exchange of messages over the past year, and this meeting reaffirmed their shared vision for a new wave of conservative leadership. Following their dinner, Mr. Vance posted a picture on social media featuring himself alongside Mrs. Badenoch, both smiling warmly. Accompanying the image, he humorously wrote, “Great to see the leader of the UK Conservatives (Mrs. Badenoch) during her trip to the US. We discussed many topics, but I was unable to persuade her that coffee is much better than tea. Cheers, Kemi!” An associate close to Mrs. Badenoch highlighted the significance of their interaction, stating, “The dinner renewed their friendship, and Kemi and JD will continue to stay in touch as the Trump administration gets up and running. JD sees Kemi as one of those on the global Right doing the deep thinking about how we reform the state.” The ally further noted the duo’s alignment as part of a new generation of center-right politicians, citing parallels with Canada’s Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who endorsed Badenoch’s leadership campaign. This meeting was not their first; the two previously crossed paths when Mr. Vance served as a senator and Mrs. Badenoch held the position of business secretary. Their connection reflects an emerging international collaboration among conservative leaders seeking to inspire younger generations with strong principles and innovative reforms. Mrs. Badenoch is not the only UK political figure to engage with the incoming U.S. administration. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy have also sought to establish connections with Mr. Vance. However, Mr. Lammy’s past remarks about Donald Trump—such as labeling him a “neo-Nazi sociopath” during his prior presidency—have cast doubts over the sincerity of these overtures. In addition to fostering relationships with key U.S. figures, Mrs. Badenoch used a recent speech at the International Democracy Union Forum to express support for Elon Musk, who was appointed by President-elect Trump to lead the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Praising Musk’s efforts, she remarked, “The more state power grows, the more we curtail what people can and should do for themselves. Worse, we reduce people’s ability to think for themselves. This is why I am excited about DOGE and what president-elect Trump and Elon Musk will do on government efficiency. It is terrifying people around the world, but I think it will be absolutely brilliant.” Meanwhile, speculation has surfaced regarding Musk’s potential $100 million (£79 million) donation to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, further signaling the influential entrepreneur’s active engagement in reshaping political dynamics. As global conservative leaders like Kemi Badenoch and JD Vance continue to collaborate, their shared vision underscores a commitment to innovation and reform within the political landscape, setting the stage for the forthcoming Trump administration’s agenda.

Sydney Celebrations Over Assad’s Downfall Marred by Antisemitic Chants
A celebration in Sydney marking the end of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria took a troubling turn as a group of protesters were filmed chanting an antisemitic slogan. The incident occurred on Sunday in Chullora, where crowds had gathered to commemorate the overthrow of Assad, whose family ruled Syria for nearly five decades. In footage exclusively obtained by *The Daily Telegraph*, men and boys holding flags and loudspeakers chanted in Arabic: *“Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yahud”*. The phrase references the Battle of Khaybar in 628, during which a Muslim army conquered a Jewish settlement in the Arabian Peninsula. The chant, which translates to “Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews. The army of Muhammad will return,” is often associated with anti-Israel demonstrations and has been widely condemned as antisemitic. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a prominent U.S.-based advocacy organization, has categorized the chant as antisemitic due to its historical and inflammatory connotations. While it is sometimes used as a rallying cry in political protests, its invocation at a celebration of Assad’s fall has sparked outrage and raised concerns about the nature of the rhetoric. The celebration itself was part of a larger wave of public rejoicing following the collapse of Assad’s government, marking the end of decades of authoritarian rule. Syrian rebels, led by Islamist factions, succeeded in toppling the regime, prompting gatherings around the world, including in Sydney. However, the presence of such inflammatory slogans overshadowed the event and highlighted the complexities of the region's politics and the narratives surrounding them. The chant not only brought antisemitism into a moment of celebration but also cast a shadow on broader efforts to promote unity and peace in the aftermath of Assad's downfall. As videos of the incident circulate, they have drawn criticism from community leaders and advocacy groups alike. The use of divisive and hateful language has sparked a renewed call for vigilance against antisemitism, emphasizing the need to ensure that public expressions of political victories do not devolve into displays of hate. ‘Come after the Jews’: Sydney rally turns ugly with antisemitic hate slogans “This comes just hours really after the synagogue in Melbourne was firebombed in an antisemitic attack … in the wake of that we have got lots of people out on the street in Sydney chanting Muhammad is going to come after the Jews.” Based on a report by Daily Telegraph AU 2024-12-11
