Joe Biden Reveals How He's Fighting Prostate Cancer and Why He's 'Optimistic' He'll Beat the Disease
Former President Joe Biden has said he is 'optimistic' and "feeling good" about his cancer treatment after announcing his prostate cancer diagnosis in May Biden spoke about his cancer treatment for the first time as he attended a Memorial Day service in Delaware on May 30 'The expectation is we're going to be able to beat this,' Biden told reporters, according to CNNFormer President Joe Biden says he is feeling 'optimistic' since beginning his treatment for prostate cancer. Biden discussed his treatment for the first time publicly since announcing his prostate cancer diagnosis as he attended a Memorial Day service in New Castle, Del., on Friday, May 30. 'Well, the prognosis is good, you know, we're working on everything, it's moving along. I feel good. All the folks are optimistic,' Biden told reporters after speaking at the service in footage captured by ABC News. According to CNN, Biden shared that his treatment consists of him taking a daily pill over the next six weeks before starting another pill. The 82-year-old also said he is being treated by a 'leading surgeon who was diagnosed with the same type of cancer three decades ago,' per the outlet. 'The expectation is we're going to be able to beat this,' said Biden, per CNN. 'It's not in any organ, it's in — my bones are strong, it hadn't penetrated. So, I'm feeling good.' On May 18, Biden released a statement announcing that he had been diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, after 'experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.' The cancer is characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5),' which 'represents a more aggressive form of the disease,' according to the statement. Biden shared at the time that 'the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management.' During his speech at the Memorial Day service in Delaware on Friday, Biden emotionally acknowledged his late son, former Delaware attorney general Beau Biden, following his passing from glioblastoma in 2015. 'I know for many of you, Memorial Day, like for us, is deeply personal. For the Bidens, this day is the 10th anniversary of the loss of my son Beau, who spent a year in Iraq. And to be honest, it's a hard day,' Biden said, per CNN. 'Being with all of you, quite frankly, makes things a little bit easier. It really does. So, thank you for allowing me to grieve with you.'

Biden attended the service with Beau's son, Robert 'Hunter' Biden II, 18, according to CNN. The Biden family marked the 10th anniversary of Beau's death at a private mass together that same morning, the outlet reported. The politician's appearance with his family at the service comes after he attended his grandson Hunter's graduation from Salisbury School in Connecticut on May 23. Read the original article on People

Owner suspends Pornhub, YouPorn, RedTube in France from Wednesday
PARIS (Reuters) -The firm behind Pornhub, YouPorn and RedTube is suspending access to the adult content platforms in France from Wednesday, in a move that media said was in protest against a requirement for porn sites to verify that their users are 18 or older. "I can confirm that Aylo has made the difficult decision to suspend access to its user-uploaded platforms (P-rnhub, YouP-rn, RedTube) in France. We will be using our platforms to directly address the French public tomorrow," a spokesperson for Pornhub said on Tuesday. Aylo owns the affected platforms, as well as several other adult entertainment brands. Arcom, France's digital and audiovisual communication regulator, can request that porn websites are blocked and levy fines if it deems their age verification systems are insufficient. "If Aylo would rather leave France than apply our laws, they are free to do so," Clara Chappaz, France's junior minister for artificial intelligence and digital technology, wrote in a post on social media platform X. Arcom has said that 2.3 million minors access porn websites every month even though legally they should be blocked from them. Adult content platforms have come under fire elsewhere in the European Union. EU regulators said last month that several sites, including Pornhub, would be investigated for failing to comply with rules to protect children.

Lizette Miller, Grand Forks Public Schools' first Classified Employee of the Year, offers a 'personal touch'
Jun. 3—GRAND FORKS — Even when it was time to surprise Community High School secretary Lizette Miller with her Classified Employee of the Year award, it was nearly impossible to drag her away from her work. Earlier this month, at the open house event celebrating the alternative high school's 40th year, Miller was busy welcoming the school's alumni and other visitors when Principal Terry Bohan stopped her. "Terry pulled me aside and he's like, 'I need you guys in the commons, we have some announcement we've got to make,'" Miller recalled. "And I was just like, 'Well, I'm kind of manning the entry,' and he's like, 'I've got someone coming to cover you.'" Even when she was greeted by her husband, son, parents and extended family from California, it didn't register that she was the one everyone had gathered in the commons to celebrate. "There's a picture captured where I'm kind of covering my face, like 'oh my God," she said. "It was just great. Tears, obviously. It was just a very humbling experience. My family was super happy, ecstatic, and very proud of my accomplishments, as well." Miller is the district's first-ever classified employee of the year. The district has long recognized classified employees of the quarter, as well as teachers of the year. Last year, however, district leadership realized they were missing an opportunity to recognize classified school staff with an annual award, according to district spokesperson Melissa Bakke, who sits on the Employee Recognition Committee. The committee selected Miller from a pool of 32 nominees using a rubric-based scoring system. Employee of the year nominations are open to staff members and, for the first time this year, parents and students. Those are the fun ones to read, Bakke said. "If a student goes home and they talk about experiences and parents really remember that, and then go and recognize them and take the time to recognize those teachers, I think that's really eye-opening," she said. "It's really exciting to see." Although there's no shortage of employees doing impactful work in the district, Bohan said it's no surprise that Miller ultimately rose to the top. "She keeps the mission of our students from our school in mind all the time all the time while offering a fantastic personal touch," he said. "It really sets her apart. ... It makes people remember, and makes others feel cared for because of her professional personal touch. She's well-deserving of this award." Bohan described her as a tactician in the school's front office, paying special attention to the details day to day and moment to moment that make the school administration run smoothly. And as the first person many people see when they enter the school, she has a talent for addressing a wide range of people and helping to put them at ease, from older adults trying to pursue their GED to younger families seeking English language classes. Miller, who is multilingual, also can communicate with people in Spanish and French. She first worked at the district from 2008 to 2011, working at Twining Middle School on Grand Forks Air Force Base. She left to start a daycare and raise her youngest children, then returned in 2019 to work in Community's front office. During her time at Community, she has been instrumental in digitizing the school's driver's education program. As part of her Classified Employee of the Year award, Miller received a $500 check, a gift card and a box of Widman's chippers. She was also presented with a plaque at a recent School Board meeting that will be displayed in the district office. For Miller though, the work is its own reward. "Just seeing these kids' lives change, both academically and personal," she said. "Some of these kids come here with not such a good experience, either in their personal lives or in an academic sense, so seeing them come here and seeing them flourish, and just become a whole different person from the moment they walked in to the person they become once they leave this school, has just been such a rewarding job."
