Moolampilly committee submits report on poor condition of Thuthiyoor resettlement land to MLA
Kochi: Members of Moolampilly package implementation monitoring committee submitted a report to Thrikkakara MLA Uma Thomas on Monday regarding poor condition of the alternative land in Thuthiyoor. This land was assigned to evictees as part of rehabilitation of those displaced by Vallarpadam container transshipment terminal project. In their report, the members, led by CR Neelakandan, visited resettlement areas provided to the evicted in Thuthiyoor village. They submitted that, except for five people, no one has built a house because houses constructed there are sinking. A total of 184 families were compulsorily displaced in 2008 for the project and received land in Thuthiyoor area of Thrikkakara municipality. Report stated that even the monitoring committee, chaired by district collector, set up by govt to make the resettlement process efficient, is reluctant to convene a meeting. The first meeting was convened on June 27, 2024. None of the assurances given by collector and officials in that meeting were implemented. Committee members visited the house of Vidyadharan, who constructed a house on the land at Thuthiyoor. They requested the MLA to apply pressure on district collector to take immediate measures, including reinforcing the side of the stream passing nearby. "Ensure that the monitoring committee for resettlement meets regularly and implements the assurances given in a timely manner," the report said. Other members of the committee include Francis Kalathinkal, Kuruvila Mathews and Eloor Gopinath.

This was the first deluxe train introduced on the railway to serve two important cities of the region and was aptly named Deccan Queen or Dakkan ki Rani. The train has the distinction of having many firsts to its credit. The Deccan Queen is the only running train with the facility of a dining car, which offers table service and has modern pantry facilities such as a microwave oven, deep freezer, and toaster. The dining car is tastefully furnished with cushioned chairs and carpet. "Coaches with roller bearings were introduced for the first time in this train in the past.

Earlier this year, in April, the Company stated that it was positioned to transition to commercialization in FY2026, that revenue growth was expected to accelerate in the current quarter (4Q FY2025) and that revenue was expected to significantly scale in FY2026. The extended Continuing Resolution (CR) for the FY2025 congressional United States budget and the Department of Defense programs paused 'new starts' and 're-starts' has contributed to a delay in revenue and new contracts. Additionally, various hypersonic programs have advanced more slowly through research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E).

Holland, Amaero's Chairman and CEO, commented, 'Though there is noise and volatility resulting from the United States' federal FY2025 budget and the Trump Administration's tariff and trade policy, the priority policy initiatives are explicitly aimed at re-shoring and scaling sovereign defense, manufacturing and supply chain capabilities, re-setting global trade imbalances and forcing government fiscal discipline. Amaero's mission and corporate strategy has been based on 'demand pull' and explicitly addresses critical gaps in the U.S. domestic supply chain, including production of refractory and titanium alloy spherical powder for additive manufacturing and PM-HIP manufacturing of near-net-shape parts. The team is focused on where we need to be one year and three years from now.

Skin cancer warning issued to UK over summer clothing
Cancer Research UK said how much sunscreen people use and their clothing choices in warmer weather are thought to be linked to where melanoma develops. It comes as projections suggest that melanoma skin cancer cases will rise again this year to 21,300 cases across the UK, which would be the highest on record. When to See Your GP About Cancer Skin cancer warning issued to UK over summer clothing Two in five melanomas in men are found on the chest, back and abdomen (torso), while more than a third in women are found on the legs. This may be because men are more likely to go without a shirt, while women are more likely to wear shorts or skirts as the weather continues to warm up, the charity said. It explained that surface area could also be playing a role because men's torsos are typically bigger than women's, while women's legs take up a larger proportion of their body surface area. Some 87% of melanoma cases – around 17,100 in the UK each year – are caused by over-exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which comes from the sun and using sunbeds. Sunbeds can cause over-exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation (Image: Getty Images) Fiona Osgun, head of health information at Cancer Research UK, said: 'As the weather gets warmer, it's really important to look after yourself in the sun. 'Getting sunburnt just once every couple of years can triple your risk of melanoma skin cancer, compared to never being burnt. 'And it's not just the hot, sunny days you need to watch out for – UV rays can be strong enough to cause skin damage between mid-March and mid-October in the UK, even when it's cloudy or cool. 'That's why we encourage people to take some simple steps to stay safe." Ms Osgun recommended staying in the shade between 11am and 3pm when the sun is strongest, as well as wearing clothes that help cover up your skin. She also said to wear a hat and sunglasses, as well as using sunscreen with "at least SPF 30 and 4 or 5 stars". Here's a useful tip for #SkinCancerAwarenessMonth ☀ The UV index can tell you how strong the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays are. The higher the UV index number the stronger the UV rays. Too much UV radiation from the sun can damage your skin and lead to skin cancer. You can… — Cancer Research UK (@CR_UK) June 21, 2024 'The key is to apply it generously – and remember to top it up regularly, especially if you're sweating or in water," she said. The latest data (from 2018-2021) shows that 40% of melanomas in men were diagnosed on the torso, equivalent to around 3,700 cases every year. The second most common place is the head and neck (24%), arms and shoulders (20%), and lower limbs, including hips (13%). In women, the most common location is the lower limbs (from the hips to the feet and including hip), equating to around 3,200 cases every year (35% of all cases). Arms and shoulders account for 27% of cases, trunk 22%, and head and neck (13%). Since the early 1990s, melanoma skin cancer incidence rates have increased by two-and-a-half times in the UK. Rates in females have about doubled, while they have tripled in men. How to Live Longer By 2040, there could be around 26,500 new cases every year, Cancer Research UK projections suggest. Skin cancer signs and symptoms Non-melanoma skin cancer includes 2 main types, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Rarer types of skin cancer include Merkel cell carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, T cell lymphoma of the skin and Sebaceous gland cancer. Cancer Research UK says symptoms between different skin cancers can vary but they are "similar to other conditions". Common symptoms of skin cancer include a sore or area of skin that: Doesn't heal within 4 weeks Looks unusual Hurts, is itchy, bleeds, crusts or scabs for more than 4 weeks Other signs to look out for linked to skin cancer include: A sore that doesn't heal Ulcer A lump Red patches on your skin Freckles or moles However, Cancer Research says that the cure rates for nonmelanoma skin cancers are "very high". As well as this, melanoma survival has doubled in the last 50 years, with nine in 10 adults diagnosed in England surviving the disease for 10 years or more. Cancer Research UK chief executive, Michelle Mitchell, said: 'Improvements in skin cancer survival rates highlight the remarkable progress driven by our research. Recommended reading: 'But the growing number of people diagnosed with melanoma is still concerning, especially when we can see that rates are rising faster in men. 'If you notice anything different on your skin like a new mole, a mole that's changed in size, shape, or colour, or any patch of skin that looks out of the ordinary – don't ignore it, speak to your GP. 'We want to beat skin cancer for everyone, no matter who they are or where they're from – early diagnosis is key and could make all the difference.'
