Vice President JD Vance declined Monday to endorse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for reelection a day after President Donald Trump endorsed the embattled Israeli leader. “The president has the most influential endorsement in American or international political history,” Vance said during an interview with journalist Mark Halperin. “I endorse American candidates, and that’s where I’m focused on the midterms,” Vance said, while traveling Monday to campaign for Republican Senate nominee Michael Whatley of North Carolina. “So, I’m not getting involved in Israeli elections.”Vance has campaigned for a foreign leader — then-Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, last spring before the right-wing leader’s party lost that country’s parliamentary election. Vance’s deference to Trump on Netanyahu comes at an extraordinarily sensitive time for Jewish Americans and the U. S. alliance with Israel. Concerns about antisemitism have surged across the political spectrum ahead of the midterm elections.

Claes Oldenburg’s (1929-2022) most famous piece of writing is his statement titled “I Am For…” which graced an exhibition catalogue in 1961 and starts: I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical, that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum. / I am for an art that grows up not knowing it is art at all, an art given the chance of having a starting point of zero. / I am for an art that embroils itself with the everyday crap and still comes out on top. / I am for an art that imitates the human, that is comic, if necessary, or violent, or whatever is necessary. / I am for all art that takes its form from the lines of life itself, that twists and extends and accumulates and spits and drips, and is heavy and coarse and blunt and sweet and stupid as life itself.

NVIDIA will introduce a 64GB DGX Spark configuration through six manufacturer partners on October 23, starting at $4,999. The system retains the larger model’s compute architecture and software stack, while NVIDIA Sync simplifies clustering and local model deployment. Its value depends on how buyers balance memory capacity, development requirements, and the higher prices now affecting the DGX Spark lineup. DGX Spark 64GB availability, pricing, and retained hardware capabilities.

News|Articles|October 20, 2026 In a phase 1 trial, CD19/CD20/CD22 CAR T cells produced complete responses in 83% of patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A trispecific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell product targeting CD19, CD20, and CD22 with an OX40 costimulatory domain was safely administered to patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies, with particularly encouraging activity in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), according to results from a first-in-human phase 1 trial (NCT05418088) published in Blood Cancer Discovery. Successful manufacturing was achieved in 16 of 17 patients, with 1 failure occurring in a heavily pretreated patient with Richter transformation. The median manufacturing time was 7 days (range, 6-10), the median transduction efficiency was 38.8% (range, 16.9%-57.6%), and the median fold expansion was 5.4 (range, 1.4-12.9). No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed across the 3 dose levels tested. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) occurred in 25% of patients and was limited to grade 1 or 2, with a median onset of 8.5 days after infusion.

The siege on Taiz has cut humanitarian supplies to the Yemeni city, the United Nations has warned, and left many of its inhabitants without food and other essentials. UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk said on Tuesday that the Houthis – an armed group also known as Ansar Allah (Arabic for Supporters of God), who have surrounded the city, must immediately allow humanitarian relief to enter or risk a catastrophe.

England’s glittering unbeaten era is over. Canada defeated the Red Roses to deal them a first defeat in four years after 40 wins and one draw. It was a landmark result for the Canadians, who will look to replicate the outcome this weekend when the two nations meet again. England must reset but they won’t panic; the Red Roses have been the standard bearers for the past seven years, which is why they have lost only twice in 73 matches. But while no team would ever aim to lose, falling to defeat is a good thing for England and the wider sport. Losing could actually make England a deadlier team to face. That is because they now need to find another level to their game with teams beginning to figure out ways to beat them. They have been pushed over the past few years by teams such as Canada, New Zealand and France, but they always had just enough to get the result over the line. Now they have been presented with a new challenge and John Mitchell, who lost his first game as Red Roses head coach, said post-defeat when his side “gets a setback, it generally learns quicker”. It is not just tactically and physically that the Red Roses may grow, but the mentality of the group may also shift.

News|Articles|October 20, 2026 Key TakeawaysBreast cancer mortality is projected to be about 13% higher in rural than urban populations by 2035, or roughly 38 additional deaths per 1 million women. Mortality fell in both groups from 1999 to 2020, but more slowly in rural areas. The absolute gap is expected to grow from about 2 deaths per 100,000 women in 2020 to about 3.8 per 100,000 by 2035. Rural patients had a 21% higher risk of breast cancer-related death before adjustment, which dropped to 3% after accounting for age, race, ethnicity, tumor stage, molecular subtype, and receipt of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- For years, fans have laughed with Taryn Delanie Smith's beloved social media character Denise, the fictional receptionist of heaven. Now, the former Miss New York is bringing that character's message of love, loss, and hope to readers in her first book, "Welcome to the Afterlife. "Smith, who first gained a following online through her Denise videos, said the character grew out of a simple question. "I was thinking about how we used to see ghosts in movies or ghost stories. It's always like the woman in the nightgown," Smith said. "And so then I just was like, do they not get to change clothes? ... There must be somebody running things. And so that's where Denise was. "Since introducing Denise, Smith has co-hosted a talk show, gotten married, become involved with charitable causes, moved into a 230-year-old Hudson Valley home and even created a show about the property. But one thing hasn't changed: the messages she receives from people coping with grief. Those conversations inspired "Welcome to the Afterlife," an illustrated book narrated by Denise that Smith describes as "an adult children's book for grievers.

In aging adults, reduced balance is associated with fall-related injuries, nursing home admission and an increased risk of death. A new study in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science found that certain measurable features of the retinal vasculature were linked to a higher likelihood of worsening balance, suggesting that retinal imaging may eventually help flag patients who could benefit from earlier intervention. The study drew on data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, a large population-based cohort of older adults. Participants underwent retinal imaging and were followed over three years for changes in balance status. The researchers evaluated retinal vessel traits using digital fundus photographs and assessed whether those baseline characteristics predicted the later development of balance impairment, defined as the inability to stand on one leg unassisted for one minute. According to the authors, this study is the first to assess this relationship. The researchers used a deep learning algorithm called the Quantitative Analysis of Retinal Vessel Topology and Size (QUARTZ) to measure retinal vessel morphology.
