The American homestead has never been apolitical. The original Homestead Act was built on colonization, offering stolen Indigenous land to white settlers as a reward for their allegiance. The frontier was not a blank canvas. It was, and still very much remains, a site of erasure, a site of performance, and a site of power.

After assessing 1,702 individuals aged 51-75, the study’s authors found that those who failed the test had a significantly higher mortality rate over the 7-year follow-up period.

The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) statement was designed to improve the quality of reporting and provides a minimum set of items to be included in a report of a randomized trial. CONSORT was first published in 1996, then updated in 2001 and 2010. Herein, we present the updated CONSORT 2025 statement, which aims to account for recent methodological advancements and feedback from end users.

Myanmar: Thousands remain in crisis weeks after deadly earthquakes
UN News | UNICEF
The earthquakes – which hit central Myanmar on 28 March – killed at least 3,700 people, injured 4,800 more and left 129 still missing. However, humanitarians warn the true toll is likely much higher due to underreporting and continued challenges in data collection and verification. More than 140 aftershocks – some as high as magnitude 5.9 – have rocked the region since the initial tremors, exacerbating the psychological toll, particularly on children and displaced families, according to a bulletin issued by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on Friday.
