Police say the officer was thrown from his bike and was not able to get a look at the SUV.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A hit-and-run driver is wanted for injuring a Philadelphia police officer.

Fortunate Motor Corporation (LMC) is offering an enormous markdown on the Sorento moderate sized hybrid SUV in Pakistan. The restricted opportunity offer which returns on of the New Year festivities and accomplishing 50,000 units creation achievement which the organization achieved in November 2021, will help purchasers up to a rebate of Rs 704,000.
Therefore, the Sorento 2.4 AWD is currently accessible for PKR 74.99 lac rather than PKR 78.12 lac while the lead 3.5L V6 is additionally accessible for PKR 74.99 lac rather than PKR 82.03 lac. And that implies the costs of the two variations will be by and large same temporarily. Yet, the inquiry is, the reason just Sorento? Likewise considering the way that 50,000 units achievement was accomplished in November-over 2 months before the rebate has been advertised.
The third generation Kia Sorento was sent off in Pakistan back in February 2021 as the most prepared nearby gathered vehicle having the greatest removal motor under its hood, the main neighborhood collected vehicle to have a V6 motor just as the first to have 6 airbags among all locally accessible vehicles, that as well, supported by 4-years/100,000 km guarantee. Anyway the vehicle pitting in a similar value association as that of Toyota Fortuner, hasn't had the option to see the kind of accomplishment which the organization may have expected.
But according to the CEO of LMC Mr Asif Rizvi, the sales performance of Sorento is quite satisfactory. In a recent interview to Business Recorders, he said:
"Deals for Sorento couldn't measure up to Sportage. The previous is a 2.4 or 3.5 liter, 7-seater with 6 airbags-recall, Sorento is a Rs 7-8 million vehicle and that is a little market. There is a Rs 2.5-3 million hole between the two vehicles. The Rs 7-8 million vehicle portion will be more modest and that was generally the assumption. The market recoils as you go up the value stepping stool, and this applies to vehicles, all things considered, not simply us. The expense of proprietorship increments, in light of the more exorbitant cost tag as well as due to higher assessments and enrollment charges. Yet, I will say, that we are having expected deals for Sorento in its portion as well. Sorento is on a traveler vehicle stage and separates itself from a truck SUV and the people who own a Sorento understand the solace of this."
He may be consistent with a specific degree and clearly being at the principal position, the CEOs should illustrate things. Anyway there are sure angles which lets us know that the Sorento has some way or another neglected to do how Sportage helped the organization. Indeed the market recoils when we go up the value stepping stool and yet, a look at how the contenders are acting comparable can show us an alternate and more clear picture.
For instance, 3,619 units of Toyota Fortuner were sold in the initial half year of this financial year which is a dumbfounding 190% in excess of 1,247 units sold in the comparison time of past monetary year. It is for sure very fascinating that this has been accomplished with Sorento currently present on the lookout. Indeed market recoils as you go up the stepping stool, that is the reason 3,619 units of Fortuner in a half year is way low than 13,233 units of Yaris in a similar period. Still it's a great figure for something which falls over the PKR 7 million value association. Contrasted with this, the Sorento clearly falls a long ways behind.
Another key variable is that the Sorento is an up-market monocoque hybrid which benefits from better metropolitan driving attributes yet needs obvious going 4×4 romping capacities of any evident stepping stool outline SUV like the Fortuner. So its principally just liked by the individuals who need to have an extravagance 7-seat hybrid to be driven inside the city. The Fortuner clearly, can be driven in the two territories while it might not have the metropolitan driving characteristics like the Sorento, actually its something special (metropolitan driving) purchasers of such vehicles give auxiliary worth.
Then, at that point, comes the street presence, where Fortuner clearly has an edge with a seriously forcing position. It likewise profits by an all around set up name, better parts accessibility and resale or more every one of the, a Toyota insignia on it. Yet, perhaps the main thing is the new and further developed 2.8L turbocharged diesel motor under its hood which conveys a transcending 500Nm of force with 201 hp, making even the hardest of driving practically easy.
Finally, the Sorento we have here is a more established age model that appeared way back in 2015. In this day and age when the data is at fingertips, organizations need to comprehend they can't trick the clients any longer. Regardless of how great the vehicle is, its an outdated model. In examination the Fortuner in Pakistan is in its most recent pretense with IMC currently in cycle to contribute the leader Legender variation.
Sorento is clearly the most un-selling vehicle under the LMC umbrella and with a huge rebate it shows us that the organization is significant to get out the unsold stock. It is additionally accepted that LMC may be thinking about to supplant it with the new fourth era Sorento yet it appears to be improbable since the move may push the costs up significantly further making it more hard for the organization to contend in the portion.
Regardless of whether the new value cuts will help the deals of third era Kia Sorento in Pakistan, we should stand by to discover. What is your interpretation of the most recent markdown offer on Kia Sorento, share your perspective in the remark area beneath.

Hi, decimal digit for which device?
In the cast version, with any browser, using windows 10, I only see the digit without decimals
There are two parts to consider when not displaying decimals,
1, The device does not support decimal precision,
2. Tiles are too small to show it.
I think it may also depend on the fact that the font inside the box where the temperature is read is too large, let's hope that the complete data will come out in the next version, moreover it would also be interesting if it came out, at least in the web version, the battery charge percentage. Thanks again and good job
It would be great to be able to add my own HTML in a box - such as the surf forecast or weather forcast for the week (weather doesn't support my city Playa Grande, Costa Rica).
Idear received, let's chech what we can do.
- The following tiles support switching between the two sizes: clock, weather, calendar, single channel switch/plug.
- Weather icons optimized.
- Temperature now shows one decimal on preview page.
Image: on the preview page, click the size icon bottom right to switch between sizes.
Try the new version and create your unique CAST dashboard!
eWeLink web: https://web.ewelink.cc/
eWeLink Cast: https://cast.ewelink.cc/
Hey, guys,
The CAST App for Android tablet is here eWeLink CAST App is available!, please have a try and let us know how's going.
I subscribed to the ewelink cast plan, and downloaded the app cast, but I don't understand how to connect to the program? I can't get past the QR code.
thanks for the hint. but here's the problem. I don't need a tablet for my life and it's not advisable to buy it only for cast. I am trying to install app ewelink cast on my phone. I want to try using cast in this way, since it's also not very convenient through the browser. The idea itself is very good, much more convenient than through the ewelink app. but the downside is that everything is done through the browser. The development of the app ewelink cast is another big plus, but it is a minus that it is aimed primarily at the tablet. It would be nice if they took into account the option for smartphones. Actually, due to the fact that I use the phone, I can not enter the program. due to the difference in the display between the phone and the tablet, there is no link on the screen to enter your data, and I did not understand how to use the qr code. ewelink version is latest.
Hi, I'm sorry that it is not adapted to the mobile phones for the time being, the QR code may not be fully displayed on the mobile phones, we will consider adaptation and optimization.
For scanning the QR code to log in, it requires the eWeLink App version to be higher than 4.33. The eWeLink App V4.33 has been submitted to Google Play Store. Please note that the update may not be immediately visible to everyone at this point, as Google releases the update gradually. iOS users can expect to access the update by the end of June.
I hope the [ewelink cast app] can have settings to prevent accidental touches (for example, requiring a confirmation button to be pressed before operating after a standby period of more than 3 minutes). I also hope it can force the display of the cast app interface and prohibit users from exiting the app or logging out of their accounts (requiring a password). This would be useful for Android tablets or Android TVs used as fixed control panels.
Thank you.
Is there any way to edit tempurature/humidité auto mode on webcast (cast tablet)
Haven't plan for this, the CAST is designed for simple control cases.
Please add the ability to scale the device window itself in the Ewelink cast app. At the moment, everything on the tablet is displayed too large and in order to find the desired device, you need to scroll up or down a lot. Too few devices fit in the viewing window.
May i know the model of the table?
xiaomi pad 5
too much free space at the top and sides. It could be used for more devices displayed. I repeat. Screen scaling (decrease) to display more tiles, so as not to scroll up and down for a long time, would be very useful !!!
This is how my devices are displayed on the phone from the browser and it is much more convenient than in the app cast.

An encouragingly high level of sustainability activity is occurring across a broad spectrum of industries, much of which is being driven by the larger corporates. Richard Laverick, Director Corporate Responsibility at environmental consultancy ADAS, says that more can be done particularly if the sustainability message cascades down throughout the supply chain.
Many businesses now publish environmental reports or statements expressing their ambitions and goals with respect to issues such as environmental protection, climate change, community, waste minimisation, water use and biodiversity. However, these often relate to the activities of the company itself without taking into account the activities of others in the supply chain.
Encouragingly, now that many organisations are starting to take control of their own sustainability performance, the focus is starting to move to the supply chain. However, supply chain sustainability is more complicated to address, particularly if the number of suppliers is large and multi-layered. On the other hand, the opportunity for organisations to create beneficial effects through their supply chains is enormous. For example, one of the UK's major supermarkets has found that the carbon footprint of its supply chain is ten times the size of that for its own activities and that the footprint of the 'use' phase of its products is one hundred times the size of its own footprint.
In order to implement supply chain improvements it is necessary for all parties to cooperate in a transparent manner and within an atmosphere of cooperation and trust, so supplier engagement programmes should focus on sharing best practice.
Supply chain engagement Sustainability activity in the supply chain can deliver energy efficiency and waste reduction but even if the benefits to individual members of the chain are relatively small, the sum of all the benefits can be enormous.
Public expenditure, even after the recent cuts, represents over 12% of GDP, so the Government's supply chain represents an enormous opportunity to influence the sustainability of thousands of organisations.
ADAS is a major supplier of services to Defra and as such became heavily involved in Defra's own supplier engagement programme, developing a 'Joint Sustainability Action Plan' that specified a broad range of actions with targets, areas for improvement and deadlines. The Plan included participation in Defra workshops in addition to Defra supported workshops at ADAS premises.
One of the tools employed by ADAS is the 'Flexible Framework for Sustainable Procurement' which sets out the actions required to make progress along a defined path in the five key areas: people; policy, strategy & communications; procurement process; supplier engagement; and measurements & results.
The framework has been particularly useful for ADAS and has been the catalyst for a broad range of sustainability initiatives.
A second major tool being employed by ADAS is a prioritisation methodology which is designed to help organisations identify those elements of the supply chain that offer the best opportunity for benefits.
These are assessed on the basis of risk (potential for harm, to the environment for example), scope (the scope for improvement against a number of sustainability issues that they affect) and influence (the extent to which the organisation is able to affect the market and its own supplier base).
The supplier workshops that ADAS has run have demonstrated the benefits of a partnership based approach. Suppliers are given assistance in finding ways to evaluate the sustainability of their own activity and that of their suppliers. In addition, workshops provide an opportunity for ADAS and its suppliers to share examples of best practise.
Sustainability at Boots UK
With manufacturing and logistics are located in one Nottingham location, Boots UK provides an ideal exemplar for the examination of sustainability.
Alex Gourlay, chief executive of the Health & Beauty Division of Alliance Boots says: "We have a 160 year history of doing the right thing; from making healthcare products affordable in our earliest years, to investing in recycling machinery in the 1930s and becoming a founder member of WWF's 95+ Group to work towards sustainable forestry practices and wood products in the early 1990s. However, as a business we have to fully understand consumer trends and our customer's expectations, including their attitude to complex issues like sustainability. We know that, along with all the usual value for money and quality considerations for example, they simply expect trusted brands like Boots to behave sustainably.
And that is exactly what we are doing." Head of CSR at Boots UK, Ian Blythe, believes that climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the world today. "This places an enormous responsibility on each and every one of us – as individuals, government and businesses," he says. "For its part, Boots is a business that has a history of dealing with the big issues. But whilst we've made great steps to improve the sustainability of our operations, we know that this is an ongoing journey with a direction – not a destination." The sustainability challenge for Boots is complex but Ian believes that the solutions are clear when the journey to sustainability is approached through the assessment of complete product lifecycles.
Boots has established a system which looks at each product's life cycle and identifies the areas of greatest environmental impact. However, the system does not simply look at carbon emissions; it also looks at other issues such as water, waste, biodiversity and social issues.
The sustainable product assessment model scores some 23 sustainability indicators across the lifecycle of an individual product, including customer use. It creates a sustainability profile 'footprint' of a product to compare relative performance and identify hotspots and thereby enables anyone to make sustainability decisions.
The model also enables improvement targets to be set by product type or by brand and establishes a database of sustainability performance data which, in turn, enables the identification of opportunities and reporting or analysis, at an individual product, brand or company level.
By adopting a lifecycle approach, Boots ensures that sustainability work is focused on those areas that offer the greatest potential for improvement.
This is vitally important because the location of the greatest impact within the supply chain varies from product to product. In some cases, for example, the largest part of a product's carbon footprint is in the use stage, so strategies to improve the overall footprint will have to address these issues through product design and consumer education.
Supply chain sustainability at Boots
The Boots holistic approach is exemplified by a wide range of initiatives within its supply chain logistics operations. Blythe explains: "We want a cost efficient, time efficient, emissions efficient warehousing and distribution system. One of the ways we can do that is to simply avoid the delivery of air. We do this by optimising packaging design, by using square packages and reusable crates, by using a variety of double-deck trailers, by utilising the latest picking and consolidating technologies in our warehouse, by using vehicle return journeys to pick up more products or return materials for recycling, and by sharing space with other businesses in delivery vehicles for the more remote areas in the UK." Alongside, modern fuel-efficient lorries; driver training in eco-efficient driving techniques; in-cab driving-style monitoring equipment; policies and processes to minimise air freight, all adds up to an operation that's good for business as well as doing the right thing for the environment.
Boots products are also sourced and manufactured outside of Nottingham and in several regions of the world. It therefore operates supply chain verification teams in the UK and Asia. These teams have four key objectives:
1. To enforce the Boots code of conduct for ethical trading
2. To improve the sustainability of the supply chain
3. To cascade sustainability further down the supply chain
4. To help suppliers find ways to improve
The Boots audit team routinely visits suppliers, sometimes unannounced, and occasionally conducts a 'deep dive' – visiting suppliers further down the chain.
Commodity Supplies
It can be very difficult or impossible to identify the provenance of commodity goods that have been stored or shipped in large containers. Andrew Jenkins works on the sustainability of the materials sourced by Boots. He says that "the main problem with running our own supply chain for commodity ingredients is that, due to the wide range of products, we require small quantities of lots of ingredients. This makes managing our own supply chain for a particular commodity impractical. The key to improving the sustainability of commodities is to establish partnerships with organisations that are seeking the same goals.
"Take palm oil for example; the most widely used vegetable oil in the world, for which there are concerns with issues such as deforestation, biodiversity and human rights. By working with others we can substantially improve the sustainability of palm oil from both an environmental and an economic perspective.
"We are a member of the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) and have been working with suppliers to use only Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (where palm oil is a listed ingredient) by 2014, or to use alternative sustainable materials." Producers of Certified Sustainable Palm Oil are able to register a quantity of their output with the GreenPalm programme which awards them one GreenPalm certificate for each tonne of palm oil which has been sustainably produced and these certificates are tradeable.
Boots is also a member of the WWF Forest Trade Network, which seeks to improve the management of the world's production forests by using the purchasing power and influence of UK businesses.
Partner progress
Just as stakeholders within business need to be fully engaged in internal sustainability work, so external stakeholders need to be engaged in supply chain sustainability.
It has been the experience of both ADAS and Boots that a partnership approach offers the best way forward. Improvements to the sustainability of supply chains deliver financial advantages but they also produce more resilient supply chains and create a more reliable source of supply.
Many companies are now looking to improve the sustainability of their supply chains and the ADAS sustainability team has been expanded significantly to accommodate this heightened demand. At Boots, Ian Blythe says: "There is still an enormous amount of work to do, but we are on the right path – our customers expect nothing less."

Constantin Gurdgiev on Trump and trade
The looming Trump-induced storm is a daunting prospect for our open economy, but if we are clever we can actually benefit in the long term
Following market jitters in February, the first two weeks of March have seen fears of a trade war erupting across the Atlantic and the Pacific, courtesy of the protectionist stance of the current White House administration. Combined with the ongoing currency wars, and spurred on by asymmetric monetary policies across the advanced economies, the new row about trade-restricting tariffs could not have come at a worse time.

A new shared use path creating a direct route between Lynbrook, Merinda Park and Cranbourne stations has opened, connecting 4.25kms of cycling and pedestrian paths as part of the Cranbourne Line Upgrade (CLU).
The cycling and pedestrian path connects the residential area north of Lynbrook Station and connects users to Merinda Park Station and Camms Road, Cranbourne. Construction has also started on the Camms Road level crossing removal, which will connect the shared user path to Cranbourne Station when completed.
By linking up with the already existing pathways, the 3m wide path will improve access to shops, schools, and medical services.
Thousands of local residents and hundreds of local businesses are benefiting, with the new path within 1km of 13,000 homes, boosting the health and wellbeing of these growing communities and making leaving the car at home more viable, freeing up car parks at the stations.
The new shared use path is part of the CLU works, which includes 8kms of duplicated tracks between Cranbourne and Dandenong and the new Merinda Park Station.
These works have paved the way for trains up to every 10 minutes in the morning peak for passengers travelling from Cranbourne, Lynbrook, and Merinda Park stations.
In total, 15 level crossings are being removed on the Cranbourne Line, with 13 already gone for good, including the dangerous and congested level crossings at Evans Road, Lyndhurst and Greens Road, Dandenong South.
The level crossing removal at Camms Road in Cranbourne is on track for removal in 2024, with works currently underway on a new road bridge over the rail line.
The Level Crossing Removal Project is removing 110 level crossings across Melbourne by 2030, with 68 already gone for good.

A Trip to the Moon is the oldest movie I've watched. It is an absolute masterclass of fiction and fantasy. I've seen many movies about outer space and, for that matter, the moon however this takes a fascinating approach to all of it.
This timeless classic, directed by Georges Méliès, presents a whimsical space adventure that's an imaginative voyage to the moon that will leave you with a sense of wonder and awe. The movie was released in 1902, almost 60 years before humans would actually even enter space, let alone land on the moon.
Needless to say, we had no idea what was on the moon, or what space itself was like in the slightest back then. Méliès was truly a pioneer of his time, and his innovative use of visual effects in A Trip to the Moon is still awe-inspiring today.
We're transported to a world of fantasy and adventure. The meticulous attention to detail in the set design, costumes, and special effects of the early 20th century is nothing short of amazing.
A Trip to the Moon doesn't hold up quite as well versus reality of what the Moon is really like compared to the wonderful world that's created in the movie. That said, the movie stands the test of time because of its ability to captivate and entertain.
The story itself is a delightful blend of science fiction and fantasy, as a group of intrepid explorers embark on a journey to the moon using a giant cannon-propelled capsule. If only it was actually that easy. The moon, depicted as a fantastical world inhabited by strange creatures, is a testament to the boundless creativity of Méliès and his team.
The iconic image of the rocket lodged in the moon's eye is one that has become synonymous with the film and is a testament to its enduring impact on popular culture.
A Trip to the Moon is a cinematic gem that deserves its place in the pantheon of film history. It's a celebration of imagination, creativity, and the enduring magic of cinema. Whether you're a film buff, a fan of classic cinema, or simply looking for a charming and enchanting adventure, A Trip to the Moon is an absolute must-see.

New Delhi:
Ranu Mondal became an overnight sensation after she sang legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar's song Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma Hai. She has already made her Bollywood debut by singing two songs for music-composer Himesh Reshammiya in his upcoming film Happy, Hardy and Heer. Ranu now gave her first interview to IANS, in which she made some shocking revelations.
From informing that she was born in a rich family, to spending time at late Bollywood actor Feroz Khan's house, she revealed many things. ''I wasn't born on a footpath. I belonged to a well-to-do family but it was my destiny. I got separated from my parents when I was just six months old. We shifted from West Bengal to Mumbai after marriage,'' Ranu stated.
''My husband worked at filmstar Feroz Khan's house as a cook. His son Fardeen was in college at that time. They used to treat us very well, like family members, " she added. ''We had a house but you know you need people to maintain it. There were so many days of loneliness. I struggled a lot but always believed in God. I used to sing according to situations. It wasn't to get singing opportunities, just for the love of singing,'' she said.
Ranu expressed her desire to own a house in Mumbai as it gets difficult for her to commute from her house to the recording studios. "I am very happy and feeling great. I have already recorded five to six songs. The thing is, music facilities in Mumbai mean a lot to me. They are important. To commute to and from my home to Mumbai on plane is also difficult. It would have been good had there been a house in Mumbai. But I don't have to think about it. God is there.''
Himesh Reshammiya recently revealed that she is being flooded by calls from who's who of the music industry, A R Rahman and Sonu Nigam to name a few. According to a report by Hindustan Times, Ranu Mandal is being showered by offers from Bollywood, Bengali and South Indian film industries. She got a call from AR Rahman's office and even Sonu Nigam has also shown interest in collaborating with the viral singer, said Atindra Chakroborty - the man who recorded her soulful rendition of Lata Mangeshkar's song and sharing it on social media.

The Pentagon declined to comment to Reuters. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The tanks would allow Ukraine to conduct long-range artillery strikes on Russian targets in the Donbas region of southeastern Ukraine bordering Russia, the official said, according to the Times.

"The situation remains extremely difficult in the east of our country. Russia is pulling forces toward Donbas and in the Kharkiv direction. They are preparing for new powerful strikes. We are preparing for an even more proactive defense. We're using all opportunities – both internal and external. That's for sure," the president said.
"I emphasize once again: difficult battles lie ahead. It is still impossible to consider that we have already passed all tests. We all want to win. But everyone will see it when this happens. Everyone will feel that peace is coming," said Zelensky.
He went on to say that he spoke with French President Macron earlier this afternoon on the humanitarian situation in Ukrainian cities that are under enemy fire.

01:04 NSDC of Ukraine: Ukraine has nothing to do with the recent explosions in Belgorod, Russia
It was stated by Oleksiy Danilov, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council in the Ukrainian TV marathon. He said that Russians accuse the Ukrainian military of the attack on the oil facilities in Belgorod on the morning of April 1, which is not true. "We do not comment on this," the official noted.
"They have to understand that it can happen in any area of the Russian Federation's territory. It's not us who came to them, it's not us who went to war against us," Oleksiy Danilov emphasized.
The Adviser to the Presidential Office Oleksiy Arestovych said, that Ukraine "is carrying out defensive activities on its own territory. What is happening on the territory of the Russian Federation is the responsibility of the Russian authorities and it's up to them to figure out what had happened in Belgorod."
Key points regarding the current state of warfare:
- Ukrainian defenders continue to defend our land in Donetsk and Luhansk directions, though the enemy increased its firepower and intensified assault operations, the main efforts are on taking control of Popasna and Mariupol. No success achieved.
- Ukraine managed to establish the defense, the Russian offense has stalled, in some directions Ukrainian military intensively push back the invaders, numerous villages and small cities were liberated
- Belarus provides its lands to Russian troops and equipment; still hasn't joined the war directly. Ukrainian authorities repeatedly warned Belarussian people against that
- Russia uses terroristic methods of war, shelling civilian facilities where there are no military facilities nearby, keeping cities in a full blockade, and sabotaging humanitarian corridors for evacuation and convoys with humanitarian aid.
- Russian army targets nuclear power plants; Zaporizhzhia NPP is currently seized by the invaders; recently, Russian troops have left the Chornobyl NPP poisoned by radiation, but the territory remains under Russian control; military activities by Russian forces near the power plants were described by Ukraine as nuclear terrorism
- Ukraine urges NATO to close the sky over Ukraine or at least provide air defense equipment: fighter jets or ground-based missile systems; some countries have expressed willingness to give their weapons if NATO provides corresponding defensive equipment in exchange
- Ukraine appealed for EU membership via an accelerated procedure. The EU Council summit concluded that such a fast-track application process is impossible; during her visit to Kyiv, EU Parliament President Roberta Metsola stated EU would look for ways to facilitate the process
- Ukrainian citizens in the occupied cities rally against the Russians; on their part, the occupiers began to kidnap activists and authorities; locals are being forcibly "evacuated" to Russia with the following deportation to the depressed areas and appointment of jobs
- thousands of civilian volunteers join the Territorial Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine; Ukraine has established an International Legion for foreign volunteers willing to fight for Ukraine, thousands have joined already
- Ukraine has had several rounds of negotiations with Russia; still, no significant progress towards ceasefire and peace, the main question, for now, is establishing humanitarian corridors for the supply of aid and evacuation of civilians; the negotiations continue "non-stop" in an online format; President Zelenskyy expressed readiness to directly talk with Putin; Ukraine has introduced "U-24" – a project on establishment of security guarantees to Ukraine by a number of guarantor states, including the USA, the UK, China and Russia. A few countries expressed their readiness to become such a guarantor (Turkiye, Germany).

Throughout different times in your life, you may experience symptoms of hormone imbalance. It can happen during childbearing years, in pre-menopause and menopause, during stressful times, and more.
If you're experiencing hormone imbalance, may have symptoms including:
Of course, these can be attributed to other conditions as well. But, if you think you could use hormone support, consider Diindolylmethane (DIM).
First of all, DIM improves estrogen imbalance.
DIM alters the metabolism of estrogen to help our bodies balance hormones. Estrogen levels and function can change in both women and men as we age.
Some experience estrogen dominance (elevated estrogen relative to other hormones) and others may experience loss of testosterone and progesterone.
DIM helps by blocking an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. Which is a great first step towards hormone balance.
Next, DIM converts "bad estrogens," into good estrogen metabolites. Bad estrogens cause most pre-menstrual and menopause symptoms, including fat gain, cramping, acne, low energy, and more. They're also found in higher levels in those with breast cancer.
Good estrogens promote leaner bodies with more muscle, high-quality collagen in connective tissues, healthy bone density, and good cholesterol levels.
DIM encourages estrogens to metabolize to beneficial forms, while deterring negative forms.
In research studies, DIM has induced the death of cancer cells, reduces cancer cell growth, and potentially reduced the overall risk of cancer. DIM is specifically thought to be important against breast, endometrial, and prostate cancer (1, 2).
In addition, loss of muscle and gaining fat is another unwanted side effect of aging for many people.
Luckily, DIM can help.
In lab tests, DIM has shown a reduction in fat cell generation and increase in fat cell breakdown and burn (3).
In addition, balanced hormones promote healthy weights and the ability to lose unwanted fat.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) causes multiple medical disorders, including cervical lesions, cervical cancer, and lung cancer.
Fortunately, DIM can help reduce the symptoms of HPV, the action of HPV and possibly reduce its growth (4).
DIM helps activate an enzyme called activated protein kinase (AMPK).
Amazingly, AMPK is a strong anti-inflammatory enzyme and has implications in reduced cancer risk, overall bodily inflammation, and heart health (5, 6).
With hormonal changes, many women experience changes in skin health and appearance. This can include acne.
Typically, excessive estrogen can lead to hormonal imbalances and increased acne. By changing the metabolism of estrogen and reducing the amount of testosterone that's converted to estrogen, DIM can reduce imbalances.
There are many DIM supplements available and it's important to get one that supports whole-body health and overall balanced hormones.
Full thyroid support hormones, such as Hormone Zone and Thyroid Zone, are a great choice.
Overall, DIM supplementation is safe, effective and non-toxic.
However, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have cancer, kidney disease, or other chronic diseases, it may be contraindicated for you. Always talk to your doctor before beginning a new supplement.
DIM is an impressive compound supporting hormones and aiding the symptoms of hormone imbalance for women. If you're suffering from any symptoms that indicate an imbalance, consider adding a natural, hormone-balancing supplement which includes DIM, such as Hormone Zone.
If I'm on naturalpathic hormone replacement, do I still need DIM?
Hi Margaret! The DIM in Hormone Zone is a supplement intended to naturally balance hormone levels. I'd recommend speaking to your healthcare practitioner about combining medication and natural supplements.
I'm a postmenopausal 60 years old and I've been on Bioidentical Hormone replacement for a few years now. I started taking the Hormone Zone and the Thyroid Zone recently and observe a Keto diet 85% of the times.
I would like to know if I should get off the Bioidentical hormones if I'm on the Hormone Zone.
Thanks for your response and have a blessed day!
Hi Illiana! I recommend talking to your healthcare practitioner for any questions regarding medications.
Is it ok for people with hysterectomy
And that do not use hormone replacement meds
Hi Lisa! Make sure to contact your healthcare practitioner with any questions regarding medications and supplementation.
Will this supplements also help me if I been diagnosed with thyroid?
Hi Irene, I'd recommend talking to your healthcare practitioner before taking any supplements. But, both Hormone Zone and Thyroid Zone are supplements intended to help balance hormone and thyroid levels.

Alex McCarthy - 7
He came for some crosses that he shouldn't have but, in truth, he did not have an awful lot to do at the Etihad, as was the strength of Southampton's defending over the majority of the game. He made some quality late stops to keep Saints alive.
Tino Livramento - 8
This will have been a real eye-opening experience for Livramento, against top-quality opposition. He drove forward well but was slow getting back on multiple occasions, something to watch going forward. He needs a rest now.
Jack Stephens - 8
He only lasted 38 minutes on the field before a suspected muscle injury saw him replaced. While he was on the field, City did not score and he certainly rustled some feathers. Let's hope that he makes a speedy recovery.
Jan Bednarek - 9
Bednarek helped Saints to hand on for deal life and will have really impressed Hasenhuttl after making his return to the side.
Kyle Walker-Peters - 8
One of Southampton's star performers on the day. He was commanding at the back post, winning multiple headers, and really helped to drive Saints onwards down the left.
Oriol Romeu - 9
The ultimate warrior. Romeu swapped from midfield to defence throughout the afternoon, with Saints sometimes playing as a five-man back-line. Some of his late blocks were stunning.
James Ward-Prowse - 8
Ward-Prowse hasn't had the best start to the season but he was a warrior today, winning the ball in key areas and frustrating City's midfield.
Nathan Redmond - 7
There were openings for Redmond but he failed to test Ederson during the first half. He pressed well but, in possession, proved not to be the man Hasenhuttl needed on the field to snatch as opportunities that were always going to be few and far between. Late in the game, he proved vital for helping Saints to hang on.
Mohamed Elyounoussi - 8
Like Redmond, there were chances for Elyounoussi. He was certainly the most creative of Southampton's forward players. He did well in midfield and almost slipped in Adam Armstrong to score a winner.
Che Adams - 8
Adams was pressed expertly from the front and was winning Southampton real openings. He was robbed of a chance to race in on goal by a questionable handball decision. He was replaced having ran himself into the ground.
Adam Armstrong - 8
He plugged away well for Southampton, as ever, but struggled to find any openings. He is one player who you can always rely on to get shots away but even he struggled.
Follow Saints FC Live on social media
Mohammed Salisu (38') - 8
Salisu was left on the bench by Hasenhuttl, presumably rested following his hectic start to the season. That did not last long, however, as he placed Stephens after just 38 minutes.
Armando Broja (65') - 7
Handed yet another chance from the bench, Broja struggled to get into the game. He ran at City a few times and deserves longer on the field next time out.
Romain Perraud (86') - N/A
He wasn't on the pitch long enough to make an impact but he played his part in the late effort to cling on.
Unused subs: Forster; Lyanco, Djenepo, Tella, Diallo, Valery.
