Health care innovation in NYC helps people walk again and create healthier futures
NEW YORK (PIX11) — Robotics are helping people walk for the first time, and researchers are fighting Alzheimer's and cancer inside the building at the corner of East 26th Street and Park Avenue South in Manhattan. Twenty-one health care innovators call the building home. The wall says Cure because that's the name of the company that connects global leaders in life sciences, digital health, and technology to investors and governments. More Local News The collaboration is designed to build a healthier and more vibrant future. Wandercraft is one of the firms. Its technology has created exoskeletons for people with mobility issues. On Thursday, 33-year-old Zachary Triano was on site to take a giant step in his life. Living with cerebral palsy, he has been in a wheelchair for most of his life. 'I've experienced walking as never before. The robot helps me get the foot down flat and for balance. I've been using muscles I never used before. It's amazing. It's a big deal,' he said. The exoskeleton provides support and assists in movement inside the rehabilitation center. Wandercraft is working on a home version. Triano supplies the inspiration. He saw the technology at a conference three weeks ago. He immediately signed up and has already logged 1,800 steps with the goal of a mile. 'I'm hoping if I take enough steps with this machine that it will teach my brain and I can relearn how to walk,' he said. Seema Kumar is the CEO of CURE. She calls the campus an ecosystem. 'Bringing it all together and putting it under one roof, you create a collision of great ideas that move things forward and accelerate it,' she said. Matthew Masselin is the CEO of Wandercraft. It's a personal mission for him as a friend faces life with mobility issues. 'Things do not happen without relationships and if you do not know each other. Cure is about creating an environment where those relationships can happen,' he said. The official says the campus creates a place where science and dreams can become real with the right financing and support systems. Success can be measured in steps and smiles.

One&Only Desaru exit casts shadow as Johor SEZ ambitions grow
[KUALA LUMPUR] The ultra-luxury tropical resort One&Only Desaru Coast – hailed as Johor's crown jewel in global tourism when it was unveiled five years ago – has quietly vanished from Malaysia's tourism map, dropping its branding without fanfare. The official One&Only website now states that the Desaru Coast resort is no longer under its management – a low-key move made without any announcement beyond the site update. The property is owned by a unit of Khazanah Nasional, Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund. A favourite among well-heeled Singaporeans for its lush rainforest setting and easy weekend access, the resort featured suites with private plunge pools, a 50-metre infinity pool, and a destination beach club by Andrew Walsh, the chef behind Singapore's one-Michelin-starred Cure. One&Only's retreat could draw attention in hospitality circles, coming just as Johor steps up its ambitions through the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Desaru Coast is owned by Desaru Peace Holdings, a subsidiary of Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotels (TARH), which is wholly owned by Khazanah Nasional. Khazanah did not respond to BT queries. Kerzner International, the brand owner of One&Only, confirmed that its management contract with the resort ended on Apr 30. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 8.30 am Asean Business Business insights centering on South-east Asia's fast-growing economies. Sign Up Sign Up The One&Only website states that the Desaru Coast resort is no longer under its management. PHOTO: ONE&ONLY DESARU COAST Rebranding afoot As at mid-May 2025, Google lists One&Only Desaru Coast as 'Permanently closed.' 'A mutual agreement was reached to bring to a natural end One&Only Resorts' management contract with One&Only Desaru Coast, between Desaru Peace Holdings, the resort's owner, and One&Only Resorts, the management operator,' said Alice Issigonis, global director of communications and public relations at Kerzner International in response to BT queries. 'This change in management did not involve a closure of the resort, which remains open. Both Desaru Peace Holdings and One&Only Resorts are very proud of the resort's achievements. One&Only ceased operations on Apr 30,l 2025. Desaru Peace Holdings will announce a new operator once confirmed,' she added. Kerzner International manages some of the world's most exclusive ultra-luxury resorts under the label, with properties in Greece, Montenegro, Mexico, Mauritius, the Maldives, South Africa and Dubai. Tourism ambitions tested The luxury retreat's exit, however, comes just as Malaysia's federal government doubles down on tourism under the 'Malaysia Madani' framework, which aims to put good governance, sustainable development and racial harmony at the heart of government policies. When launching the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim set bold targets: 35.6 million tourist arrivals and RM147.1 billion (S$43.3 billion) in receipts. 'Tourism must not only drive national revenue,' he reportedly said earlier this year, adding that it should 'create sustainable livelihoods across every state – including Johor, which sits at the gateway to Singapore'. Launched in January, the Johor-Singapore SEZ is part of this broader economic push. The government-to-government initiative aims to facilitate trade, enhance mobility, and draw high-value investment and is being closely watched as a potential game changer for Johor's economic trajectory. Industry players are confident the high-end resort's departure is a one-off event. Ivan Teo, chairman of the Johor chapter of the Malaysian Association of Hotels, said One&Only's exit reflects a change in operator, not a deeper market issue. 'The rest of the services and facilities remain the same. Its exit will not impact long-term investors. A new operator will be announced by the end of this month,' he said. He reaffirmed confidence in Desaru's readiness to support luxury tourism. He pointed to growing connectivity, including direct ferry links from Singapore, and soon, Indonesia, as well as new hotel entrants such as Sheraton and Novotel in Johor Bahru. 'Desaru is definitely ready,' he stressed. SEZ – Johor's big reset He noted that Johor's strong demand for high-end experiences is evident from the popularity of Johor Premium Outlets, and that premium hotel brands would not struggle to thrive, given the current shortage of rooms. 'Johor Bahru has always been seen as a leisure zone. The SEZ could boost weekday occupancy, which is currently inconsistent,' he said, adding that corporate traffic from investors and business travellers will directly benefit the hospitality sector. 'With China's visa exemption, ferry and flight connectivity from Indonesia, and the upcoming Rapid Transit System in 2026, we can already foresee tangible spillover into Johor,' he added. However, he noted that infrastructure gaps remain, adding: 'Public transportation, pedestrian-friendly roads and paved walkways would make a big difference – especially for tourists who don't drive.' Yet, as Anwar's administration doubles down on its cross-border ambitions, observers are questioning whether Johor can avoid repeating past missteps such as the scrapped Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail and the mixed results of Iskandar Malaysia, the development corridor in southern Johor. Mohamad Isamuddin Isa, a Johor Bahru city council member and co-founder of Strategic Communications Solutions, described the SEZ as being more structured and committed than past initiatives. 'It's like a sandbox pilot. The whole southern region is involved now, not just select areas,' he said. Execution is everything Isamuddin cited efforts such as the Johor Talent Development Council, which links local youth to sectors such as data centres and advanced manufacturing, as part of the state's drive to localise SEZ benefits. Dr Carmelo Ferlito, an economist and chief executive officer of research consultancy Center for Market Education, offered a broader perspective, saying: 'Special Economic Zones present both opportunity and risk. 'They can incentivise investment, which is vital for long-term development – but incentives must be broad-based, not overly targeted, or the model collapses once they are withdrawn.' He urged Malaysia to look beyond isolated zones. 'The government shouldn't decide where development happens – the market should lead that discovery process,' he said. He also supported easing movement between borders. 'True free trade is enhanced by mobility of people and goods,' he added.

‘I've met people with tattoos of it': Andy Vella on shooting Robert Smith for the Cure's Boys Don't Cry album cover
I think this is the Cure image that's most reproduced. I've met people with tattoos of it. It's been bootlegged, like, millions of times. The bootlegs are rubbish, though – half the time someone's obviously cut the stencil out with a scalpel, and it's so crude. This image was used for the cover of Boys Don't Cry when it was rereleased in 1986. It was taken during the video shoot, which featured three boys playing the band when young. I used to just go to those shoots as a fly on the wall, grabbing shots where I could – you try to not get in the way. Robert Smith does that thing with his hand when he relaxes – I guess playing guitar must be quite tiring on the hands – so there's a lovely restfulness about the image. I like how reflective it is. The silhouette of Robert was always interesting to me: the guitar, the hair, it always seemed to work. I like the dramatic, mysterious feel of the image. I've worked with clients who are not specific about what they want, and you're always thinking in the back of your mind: 'Am I doing the right thing?' Every creative probably goes through that. But Robert knows what he wants: it's good to work with people like that. I started collaborating with the Cure in 1981. Whenever we did a shoot, the band would ask: 'Do you think you got something good?' And I would say: 'I don't know until I've developed it.' You're grabbing things, you're playing with spontaneity. You see stuff through the viewfinder, and you're composing in that. It was only later on in my career that I also started taking Polaroids. On this shoot, though, the film jammed. I wound it back into the camera, hoping for the best. When I took it to the lab I said: 'I'm not sure anything's on this.' But there was, and when I showed the pictures to Robert and the band's then manager, Chris Parry, the next day, they jumped up and down and said: 'That's the picture we're going to use.' It was frame 21 on the film and it had jammed at 22 – I was lucky. That's the beauty of this kind of work: sometimes we're successful because of the choices that we make, but sometimes it's the choices other people make. The original image is black and white but the record cover is a colourised version, where I've used photographic dyes on top of the print. There are slight pinks and yellows and things in there, but it's subtle. I was taught at art school to add and enhance, not take away, so I still wanted it to feel on the monochromatic scale. I didn't want it to look too tripped out, I wanted it to have realism. But I do think I captured exactly who the Cure are with that picture, and it's been tried and tested since with the amount of people who relate to it. When I was younger, I had a paper round specifically so I could buy records. Then I would hide away in the corner of my house with headphones on, immersing myself in the record sleeves. I remember thinking Meddle by Pink Floyd was the best thing. It's just a brilliant cover – a big ear with water droplets on it. It was trippy and amazing and summed up a brilliant album. Now I've got students who want to get into music-industry design. I don't know if it's easy or difficult today, but I think if you've got talent and passion, you can do whatever you want. Until 1 June, 700 unique artist-designed record sleeves, including Andy Vella's new the Cure design, are in a global online auction in aid of War Child, the specialist charity for children caught in conflict Photograph: Daren Butler Andy Vella's CV Born: Hampshire, 1961 Trained: Royal College of Art Influences: Man Ray, André Kertész, Raoul Ubac, Wols High point: 'There are three: being invited by War Child to design a sleeve for Secret 7' 2025; having my Obscure book of photographs exhibited in Sydney Opera House in 2019; and, at Mick's request, shooting Mick Rock's portrait' Low point: 'Not having my camera with me when I see a great photo!' Top tip: 'Shoot loads. Think of the composition within the frame, and what it is you are trying to capture or communicate. Use light, fogging or real distortion for effects rather than relying on post-production. Go for authenticity. I try not to get bogged down with the technical, I aim for what I am after and allow all mistakes to hijack what it is I am creating.'

Anyone with 'food intolerance or allergy' warned test results may be wrong
People are being warned they might have been conned If you have a food allergy or intolerance, you may want to listen up, as according to BBC's Doctor Xand Con or Cure series, you might not have one at all. Addressing people who believe their issues stem from what they eat and drink, the expert said there are many clinics that do these test and if you've been tested this way, don't panic as this is legit and you can safely say you have said allergy or intolerance. But if you've done a test online, you may need to have another think. Tom Baynton from Oxfordshire contacted the BBC team for Doctor Xand's series, saying he felt he had been 'duped by food and intolerance tests'. He explained that he was dealing with 'low-level, intermittent digestive issues' that, while not serious enough to warrant a visit to his GP, were still causing noticeable discomfort and inconvenience. Determined to find the cause, he believed a food intolerance test would offer the answers. After browsing various options online, he found one priced at £209 that screened for food allergens, intolerances, and possible environmental triggers. He submitted a blood sample using a simple finger-prick method, and just a few days later, his results arrived via email. He was stunned by the results, describing them as 'a sea of red' which indicates numerous allergies or intolerances. The test used a colour-coded system: red signified a clear allergy or intolerance, orange suggested a borderline reaction, yellow indicated a low-level response, and green meant no food allergies or intolerances were detected. He was shocked when he received his results noting that there was 'a sea of red' meaning that he is allergic or intolerant to the item listed. The results were colour coded with orange meaning you may be borderline, yellow is a low reaction whilst green means you do not have any food intolerance or food allergies. He found out: 'My allergy test shows me that I'm allergic to rice. I haven't had any notable issues I've been aware of." Soya and wheat were also classified as red. "On my food intolerance test there is even more red. So the top scores for me are cow's milk, which was 100% and egg yolk, which is 100% and on egg whites I got a score of 79". Sending his concerns to the BBC team, he asked: "So is it a con or a cure?' Allergy and intolerance test results Co-host and journalist Ashley John-Baptiste, recognisable to many from The X Factor, submitted hair samples for food allergy and intolerance testing. When his results arrived a few days later, he noted a striking inconsistency: one test claimed he was highly sensitive to avocado, while the other indicated no sensitivity whatsoever. It was also noted that he was highly sensitive to dairy whilst again the other test said that dairy was fine. Speaking to Dr Megan Rossi, a gut health expert, she said: 'Often these test confused things with intolerance and allergies and it's really important that we know the difference. "So when we think about food allergies, it actually involves the immune system. There are two different types of food allergies - one is where people can get symptoms really quite rapidly and the other one is where it might actually take a day or two to get the symptoms. "And then when we think about these intolerance, they don't actually involve the immune system at all and often there can be cases that when you're eating them, your body can't digest them very effectively and you might not have the enzyme needed to break them down for them to get from your gut into your blood. An example of that is lactose intolerance.' Are allergy and food intolerance tests legit? Because of these inconsistencies, the expert said she sees people who send away samples all the time for these tests - whether it's blood or hair samples "and the sad thing is as they are completely invalid. The World Immunology Association has even said that this is not a great way to be able to identify or diagnose a food intolerance, sadly". "It's really scary that these companies are able to do this and because of the whole online world, these online tests are just not regulated. I've certainly seen in my own clinic where people have dwindle their diet down to 10 'safe foods' because these intolerance tests have told them that they can't eat any of the others." How can I test for food allergies and intolerances? Highlighting the risks involved, she explained that overly simplifying your diet might actually worsen symptoms and create a harmful cycle. So, how can you effectively identify potential food issues? According to the gut health expert, the most effective method for detecting a food intolerance or allergy is the 3R approach: record, restrict, and reintroduce. She explains: 'You would record everything you're eating along with your symptoms and then if you identify an association with the food group, it might be something like lactose. "Then you would restrict it for a short period of time and if you find that you've got an improvement in your symptoms it's still important to do the third one and that's free to introduce." You should ensure that you are seeing a "registered dietitian that can go through that 3R process because it can be a little bit confusing for some", she adds. Tom's allergy test update At the end, Tom gave an update and said: 'After following the tests, I went through a process of trial and error. "I did eliminate various things for my diet, I started with dairy and then I tried wheat. But ultimately, I found that it was coffee that was causing my issues which was interesting because that was the one thing that was flagged up green on my test results - but I reduced that down on my diet and since my symptoms of, so that's really helped me'
