New York Man's Nose Bitten Off Defending a Woman. 'Once-in-a-Lifetime' Surgery Restores His Face
Long Island man Tyson Carter was attacked when he stepped in to help a young woman who was being harassed by two men at a bus stop A fight ensued, and one of the men bit Carter's nose off He underwent a life-changing surgery, and his confidence has been restoredA man whose nose was bitten off during a fight when he stepped in to defend a woman being harassed has undergone life-changing surgery that restored his face. Tyson Carter, 41, had observed two men harassing a young woman at a Brentwood, N.Y. bus stop on January 27, ABC-7 reports. But when he tried to offer assistance, he was attacked. "It was two-on-one and they stomped on my head and chest," Carter told the outlet. "But I wasn't going down. I guess he got frustrated. I knew he bit my nose. My jacket was bloody [but] I didn't realize how bad it was." The extent of his injuries was discovered when he sought medical care at Long Island's Northwell Health's South Shore University Hospital. His nose, Carter says, had been bitten off. But as Dr. Laurent Ganry, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Northwell Health's Jewish Medical Center, explained during a press conference, he was able to fashion a new nose for Carter using an old Egyptian technique combined with modern technology. He first 3D-printed Carter's face, then used clay to make a nose model based on how it looked in past selfies. 'Now I have a template,' he said, according to ABC-7. Taking skin and muscle from his forearm and forehead, Ganry was able to give Carter his nose back through a series of three surgeries. New blood vessels have grown, Ganry said, explaining, 'Basically, the nose is alive.' The procedure to create new noses dates back to ancient Egyptians, the surgeon told the outlet, when people lost noses due to illness or torture. Now, Carter says his friends don't even notice anymore. "[For] most people that know me and haven't seen me in a while, it doesn't even register when they see my face," he said. He can also wear his eyeglasses again. As Carter explained, 'Without my glasses, I can see maybe six inches in front of me.' And while he says, 'for me, it's, like, a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing,' for his medical team, who performs the procedure for people who've lost their noses to dog bites or skin cancer, 'it's business as usual.'

Four must-visit eateries in Greece's newest food destination
The city of Chania, on the north-west coast of Crete, has a charming medieval harbour and an old town full of architectural influences drawing from the Ottomans, Venetians and Egyptians. But now there's another reason to visit: a new generation of food makers making their mark with slick venues. Red Jane Bakery If it wasn't for the snaking queues, it would be easy to simply pass by Red Jane Bakery. Tucked behind an abandoned 1930s foundry, it's signed only with a handwritten scrawl on the dilapidated facade. There's a micro roastery, killer desserts (the French pastries all have a contemporary twist) and spectacular sandwiches that rotate throughout the year. Red Jane puts a unique spin on traditional Greek staples such as tyropita, a filo-pastry cheese pie filled with feta and ricotta. Aesthetes will also get a kick out of the industrial interiors by the noted Cypriot-born, London-based designer Michael Anastassiades. The features include soaring ceilings, exposed brick and a monolithic marble counter. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view into the bakery area, where uniformed chefs create a bounty of sourdough – a change from the barley rusks that the island is famous for. See Maiami American-Greek Alexandra Manousakis left a career in New York to return to her Cretan roots, opening a boutique collection of eateries and an organic winery. Manousakis is an artist and the food at Maiami is plated up on her handmade ceramics. The restaurant is located in a salmon-pink 1950s art deco-inspired building and is part painting studio, part boutique and part brasserie where customers eat off Manousakis's plates. The menu is a modern interpretation of classic Mediterranean dishes and perfect for summer. The prawan and ouzo pasta is unbeatable and salads are flavourful: crunchy greens, zesty lemon, spearmint, lime, pomegranate and watermelon. There's also an array of Greek cheeses: mizithra, which is primarily produced on Crete, and arseniko, a spicy cheese from the island of Naxos. See Salis Salis is another venue run by Alexandra Manousakis. It's a traditional taverna with a contemporary twist and the ultimate farm-to-table eatery: almost all of the organic produce is grown nearby and dishes are packed with seasonal wild greens and lashings of herbs. Salis also mills its own flour and ferments its own chillies. With a 100-page wine list (curated in conjunction with the owners' winery) and lots of mezze, cold cuts and cheeses, it's also a great choice for those who want to dive into share plates. For summertime dining it's in prime position overlooking the water (excellent for people watching) and as the weather cools, the tunnel-like interior has a great vibe. See Kross Coffee Roasters and Black Eyed Kate Greek coffee not your thing? Prefer your caffeine more bougie? The best third wave coffee in Chania is at hipster cafe, Kross Coffee Roasters (tick to almond and soy milk). There's a few locations, but the Dagkli outpost is about a 20-minute walk from the heart of town and the least touristy. Filled with regulars, the sneaker-wearing, tattooed staff are total pros and in addition to coffee they also offer chilled wines and ice-cold craft beer. Kross roasts all its beans in Chania and has an online shop where you can buy everything from its organic coffee capsules to crunchy maple granola.

Tremors rattle Egypt - Egypt - Al-Ahram Weekly
Egypt recently suffered two successive tremors. Reem Leila tries to find out if the country is becoming an earthquake zone. In the past couple of weeks, Egypt experienced two earthquakes. The first, of a magnitude 6.4 on the Richter scale, took place on 14 May. Eight days later, residents woke up to a 6.2 earthquake. They were felt by wide segments of the population across various governorates — from Greater Cairo and the Delta to the northern coast. Although the epicentres of both quakes were located south of the Greek island of Crete, hundreds of kilometres away from Egyptian territory, their strength, exceeding six according to the Richter scale, was enough to concern Egyptians. Citizens reacted strongly. Social media was filled with testimonies and questions about the nature and causes of the earthquakes, and an increased search for information regarding safety. According to the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG), Egypt is not located within major seismic belts and earthquakes occurring deep in the Mediterranean Sea do not pose a direct threat to the country. According to Sherif Al-Hadi, head of the Earthquake Department at the NRIAG, Egypt is not sitting on any seismic belts and is not threatened by earthquakes. 'The term seismic belt means that we would be constantly alert day and night due to consecutive earthquakes,' Al-Hadi said, explaining that what is currently happening is that Egypt is affected by several seismic belts outside its borders. Among these seismic belts are those passing through the Mediterranean Sea south of the islands of Cyprus and Crete. One of those is a low-activity seismic belt 390 km away from Cairo. The other is more than 700 km away from Cairo and has almost no effect on Upper Egypt. Al-Hadi confirmed that Egypt 'is at a safe distance, and what is happening is only the sensation of tremors, especially on the upper floors, without any damage to infrastructure or any losses of lives or property.' Abbas Sharaki, a Cairo University geology professor, told Al-Ahram Weekly that most of the earthquakes felt in Egypt originate from the Mediterranean Sea, particularly from the regions near Greece and Turkey. Sharaki said that some of the zones prone to feeling earthquakes include the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the area extending from the Dead Sea up to Turkey. Greece is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world, he added. However, he added that although thousands of earthquakes are recorded there each year, severe damage or fatalities are rare. He described the region as a very active and systematic seismic zone that has experienced stronger earthquakes in the past, but none have seriously impacted Egypt. Sharaki also noted that the NRIAG is closely monitoring the aftershocks, which so far have been mild. Over the long-term there are expectations of an earthquake occurring in the seismic belt area with a magnitude 6.5. Such events, according to Al-Hadi, happen from time to time but unlike weather, earthquakes cannot be predicted because the nature of the earth is completely different from the nature of the weather. 'What we do is estimate the likelihood of earthquakes based on seismic zones, which may become dormant at times and active at others,' he said. Al-Hadi advised the public, when feeling any tremors, to avoid elevators and use the stairs, and to remain calm, as panic can lead to chaos and stampedes, which in turn cause injuries. * A version of this article appears in print in the 29 May, 2025 edition of Al-Ahram Weekly Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
