WASHINGTON — The death toll from an explosion at a chocolate factory in the US state of Pennsylvania rose to three Saturday with four people missing, local officials said, as rescuers raced against the clock to find survivors. Crews were still removing debris and rubble following the Friday afternoon explosion at the RM Palmer Company plant in the West Reading borough of Pennsylvania. However, 'due to the violence of the explosion and the amount of time that has passed, the chance of finding survivors is decreasing rapidly,' West Reading Fire Chief Chad Mayor told a press conference Saturday.

East Hanover, July 25, 2023 — In a recent study conducted by the University of New Hampshire (UNH) concerning COVID-19 vaccination patterns among "essential" workers, some notable trends have emerged. During the peak of the pandemic, workers with disabilities were less likely to be vaccinated if working in the U.S. Postal Service, food and beverage stores, and correctional facilities. That's according to experts speaking during last Friday's nTIDE Deeper Dive Lunch & Learn Webinar. This month, the nTIDE Deeper Dive discussed data from the ongoing Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey (HPS), developed to measure household experiences during the coronavirus pandemic and other emergent social and economic issues.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal plans to privatize flag carrier TAP Air Portugal next year, the government announced Thursday, after the airline returned to profit following a 3.2-billion-euro ($3.4 billion) taxpayer-funded restructuring program. The goal is to sell at least 51% of the company, Finance Minister Fernando Medina said after a Cabinet meeting. Medina didn't put a price on the company. But he told a news conference that other factors would also carry weight in the decision about who to sell the company to, such as keeping the airline's hub in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, and investing in staff and expansion.

Anyone lucky enough to be acquainted with the music of The Dubliners will be aware of the fact that there's a song in the repertoire entitled 'Salonika.' It's a jovial tune that unveils a socio-historical event of far-reaching proportions. The first verse sets the stage for an inquiry that exceeds the scope of this article but I'll do my best to convey the richness and audacity of the song. The first verse— My husband's in Salonika; I wonder if he's dead. I wonder if he knows he's got a kid with a foxy head —forges a connection between Ireland and Greece, evokes the tragedy of WWI , touches upon the economic realities of the previous century, and hints at the sexual politics of our (great?) grandmothers.
