A new analysis by the American Cancer Society reveals death from cancer in the United States fell 31% between 1991 and 2018. Nevertheless, the organization also estimates that this year, nearly 1.9 million people will be diagnosed with cancer and more than 600,000 will die from it. According to UPI, cancer remains the second-leading cause of death in the United States. Significant gains have been made in four of the deadliest and most common cancer, namely lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate. Lung cancer is still the most common cause of cancer death nationally. However, the data showed death rates for the disease fell 2.4% annually between 2009 and 2013 and 5% annually between 2014 and 2018.
Rapper and social media entrepreneur Spectacular Blue Smith visited 'the happiest place on Earth' on Monday, but his experience didn't quite live up to the hype. According to Newser, a joke he told when entering the park ultimately led to his arrest. The 35-year-old allegedly faked a sneeze while passing by a Disney employee at Animal Kingdom and said the word "coronavirus." Law enforcement reports things spiraled after the employee responded by saying a COVID joke isn't funny. The employee then asked Smith to step out of line. He did not comply. After arguing, the employee allegedly put out his arm to stop Smith from advancing. Law enforcement says Smith then 'turned and punched him on his right side jaw and right temple area.' The employee was subsequently diagnosed with a concussion and Smith was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor battery. An unapologetic Smith wrote in an Instagram story posted Wednesday that 'the more success you have as a Black man, the bigger target you are.'
Mazda’s iconic “World Car Design of the Year”-winning roadster has evolved over the years, yet always remained true to the Jinba Ittai philosophy of creating perfect harmony between driver and car. The MX-5, a timeless masterpiece – refined by Mazda’s craftsmen over four generations of customer feedback – celebrates its 35th birthday in 2024. With over 1.1 million units sold, the community of MX-5 enthusiasts continues to grow.With the 2024 MX-51 Mazda further reinforces the Jinba Ittai ethos by introducing DSC-Track, a new Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) mode optimised for circuit driving, and a newly developed Asymmetric Limited Slip Differential (Asymmetric LSD).DSC-Track prioritises driver safety by implementing over-steer control in hazardous spins that the driver is unable to correct. DSC-Track allows the driver to remain in control until the very last second, only then it will intervene. The Asymmetric Limited Slip Differential (Asymmetric LSD) stabilises vehicle turn-in behaviour. In particular, bolstering the slip-limiting force during deceleration improves stability when braking into a turn, where reduced rear wheel ground load leads to vehicle instability. Optimizing slip limiting force and preload specifically for the MX-5's engine, suspension, and tyre characteristics results in smoother and more linear turning performance. Turning stability has thus been enhanced to make manoeuvring easier in urban areas, as well as on winding roads.The 2024 Mazda MX-5 features advanced LED headlights that now seamlessly combine with the daytime running lights. Furthermore, the rear lights have undergone subtle revisions, and LEDs are now used also on the turn signals. The exterior changes are complete with a new paint option, """"Aero Grey Metallic"""", which replaces “Platinum Quartz”, and 16- and 17-inch wheel designs.Enhancements for 2024 also extend to the interior, which gains a redesigned 8.8-inch centre display with Android Auto and Apple Car Play running wirelessly, a frameless rear-mirror and a suede-like seatmaterial called Leganu.
Mercedes-Benz Vans wants to further expand its position as a leading manufacturer of premium vans. In doing so, the company is consolidating a decisive competitive advantage: the customised diversity of its portfolio for commercial and private use – offering a range of fully electric and conventionally powered vehicles in the small, midsize, and large van segments. The introduction of the modular and scalable Van Electric Architecture (VAN.EA) from 2026 marks the gradual transition to a focused premium strategy for commercial vans. The new Vito, eVito, Sprinter and eSprinter light commercial vehicles are a key step on this journey. They offer more comfort, safety, and functionality, especially thanks to a plus in intelligent, digital networking. This sets the course for further growth at the upper end of their respective segments.
King Charles III arrives at the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre in central London for his first official public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer, after doctors said they were "very encouraged" by the progress of his treatment. Charles, 75, suspended public-facing duties in February after cancer was found while he was being treated for an enlarged prostate the previous month. IMAGES
