The skeletal remains of a child and three surviving siblings who appear to have been abandoned have been found inside an apartment in the Houston area of Texas, US.
One of the children, a 15-year-old, called the Harris County sheriff’s office on Sunday afternoon and told authorities that his nine-year-old brother had been dead for a year and the body was inside the apartment, the office said in a statement.
Deputies responded and found the teenager and two other siblings aged 10 and seven living alone in the apartment, said the Harris County sheriff, Ed Gonzalez. The other child’s skeletal remains were also located.
Abdalla Hamdok, the Prime Minister, his wife, and a number of civilian ministers have been arrested.
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan's military commander, announced in a televised address that an "independent and fair representative government" will assume authority until a new government is elected in 2023.
Burhan stated that some provisions of the constitution have been suspended and state governors have been removed.
Tensions between the military and civilian leaders of the country's Sovereign Council, a power-sharing ruling body, have risen in recent weeks.
Hamdok and his wife, Muna Abdallah, were arrested and brought to an undisclosed location on Monday, according to Adam Hireka, the prime minister's economic adviser.
Earlier in the day, the country's Ministry of Information announced on Facebook that Hamdok had been placed under house arrest by "military troops."
According to photographs from the scene early Monday, Hamdok's Khartoum residence looked to be encircled by armed personnel.
However, in 2020, an article in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition discovered a slew of heart-health benefits associated with apple eating. Consuming one medium apple daily, the authors concluded, may help reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation. Apples, both peeled and unpeeled, are a wonderful source of fiber and substances called polyphenols that promote heart health.
However, as is the case with many fruits, it is recommended to consume the fruit whole (with fiber-rich seeds) rather than drinking juice. Pomegranate arils contain only 72 calories in a half-cup.
While coffee can provide a much-needed mental boost, new research says that you should limit yourself to five or six cups per day; beyond that amount may be detrimental to your brain. The researchers studied over 400,000 adults who consumed coffee on a daily basis (either caffeinated or decaffeinated). Daily consumption was classified into six categories ranging from one to two cups to more than six cups. Around 18,000 individuals had their brain volume evaluated using MRI. The research discovered that, when compared to moderate coffee drinkers (one to two daily cups), heavy coffee drinkers (more than six daily cups) had lower overall brain volume, particularly in the hippocampus, the region responsible for short- and long-term memory.
Additionally, heavy drinkers had a 53% increased probability of being diagnosed with dementia compared to light drinkers. The risk was similar whether individuals consumed caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee.
