Scientists make progress in mapping chemicals to six groups of common diseases
Exposure to hazardous chemicals can contribute to noncommunicable diseases and remains a key public health challenge. Most chemicals used in consumer products, including food packaging, lack sufficient data to determine whether they are safe. Current testing approaches cannot effectively check for all possible health outcomes, and many testing requirements check only for genotoxicity and examine one substance at a time. Yet evidence shows that consumers are simultaneously exposed to complex mixtures of chemicals from many types of products.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 24 (IANS) Actress Manasi Joshi Roy, who essays the titular role in the television show Lakshmi Niwas, has shared that she once consumed by the peripherals of Ganeshotsav that she felt she was losing connection with Lord Ganpati. The actress said that she and her husband stopped celebrating Ganeshotsav until 2023, when her husband Rohit Roy insisted on bringing Ganpati home. She told IANS, Year after year Lord Ganpati came to our house. From 1.5 days we started keeping his idol for 3 days & the scope of the whole thing kept increasing. It was an endless flow of people, food, preparations & then suddenly one year I felt that I has lost my connect with HIM because I was too busy with the peripherals. When I mentioned this to my sister in law who is more religious than me & has been having HIM at home way before we started she said We are so busy with everything that I couldn't have a conversation with my God. Thats when it struck her that the celebrations have turned into a big social event. She said that she somewhere stopped having a conversation with God. She further mentioned, I could only sit in front of him late at night & feel connected. The day just went by in a blur & no its not that we didnt love it. Its just that we wanted something else. Of course we all know that it wasn't meant to be a religious festival, it was started by Lokmanya Tilak to facilitate larger gatherings of people without invoking the suspicion of the British. And so forth & so on. Yet its become this big huge event with people saying, Oh my gosh I have so many places to go & the ones who have him at home are constantly busy with all the social activity. And so in 2015 we stopped celebrating Ganeshotsav. He was in our Mandir & our prayers all year round, just not doing the whole rituals. But they say, God works in mysterious ways. This year nearly a decade later, in 2023 Rohit said, I want to bring Ganu home this year on Ganesh Chaturthi. But in a simple way. He just wanted to be with him. And thats exactly what he did & we continue to do so now, she added.

'Falsehoods': India Blasts Pak As Islamabad's Indus Waters Campaign Hits UN Wall
Pakistan has carried the Indus Waters Treaty fight to the United Nations, circulating a letter after the Hague-based Court of Arbitration ruled that the treaty remains in force. But India rejects that court as illegally constituted and says its pronouncements have no legal effect. New Delhi has also accused Islamabad of malicious propaganda, misrepresentation and falsehoods. The key point is this: Pakistan got a ruling, but it has not secured collective UN action or a public coalition behind its letter. No UNGA resolution. No Security Council move. No demonstrated diplomatic pressure that has changed Indias policy. Islamabad wants the water dispute separated from terrorism. India refuses. It says the treaty was put in abeyance after the Pahalgam attack and will remain so until Pakistan credibly ends support for cross-border terrorism. This report explains the Hague ruling, Indias jurisdiction challenge, Pakistans UN push, and why trustnot water alonenow defines the dispute.
