Manitoba First Nation loses health funding after directors allegedly misappropriated federal money, lawsuit claims - CTV News

Roxy’s Arcade, a popular gaming spot in Cambridge, said Monday it would close until further notice after revelations that an employee allegedly “misappropriated tens of thousands of dollars” and left other bills unpaid. James DiSabatino, the owner of Roxy’s Grilled Cheese & Burgers, the Central Square restaurant which has hosted the speakeasy-style arcade in back of its shop since 2017, wrote on social media that a senior manager had been terminated after the alleged financial issues came to light. A further investigation revealed the employee also allegedly failed to submit and pay thousands of dollars in vendor invoices, DiSabatino said. “Together, the missing funds and unpaid bills have put our small business under enormous financial strain,” he wrote on Instagram, adding that the restaurant and various food trucks operating under the Roxy’s brand will remain open.

" Those are the ideas that will guide her in her new job as special envoy for health resilience at the World Health Organization.

If you’re a woman in your 40s, it’s time to think about osteoporosis. The bone disease may bring to mind an elderly patient, but the process that weakens the skeleton and makes a person vulnerable to bone fractures starts much earlier. Rapid bone loss begins two years before menopause, which happens at age 51 on average for women in the U. S., says Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein, an orthopedic surgeon at Duke Health in North Carolina and co-author of “The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan: Help Prevent and Treat Osteoporosis and Arthritis.”“That sharp decline of bone loss happens a little earlier than most people realize it’s happening,” Wittstein tells TODAY.com. The main trigger for women is the midlife decline of estrogen because estrogen protects bones — it inhibits the cells that break them down, she notes. From two years before menopause to about a decade after it begins, the average woman loses 10% of her bone density, but there are things women can do to alter that trajectory, the doctor adds. “There is a tremendous amount of data pointing to the fact that this is preventable through exercise, diet and hormone therapy,” Wittstein says.
