Unrealistic expectations, body dysmorphia, and psychological factors can influence the decision to undergo cosmetic procedures. It is essential for both the patient and the medical professional to have open and honest communication about the expected outcomes, risks, and limitations of the treatments. Counseling and psychological support should be provided when necessary to ensure that the patient's mental health is safeguarded throughout the process.
Another misconception about "Trump 2.0" is the presumption that these figures solely rely on populist appeals to garner support. Professor Ouyang Hui suggests that while populism may play a role in their political strategies, it is essential to examine the broader socio-political context in which these leaders operate. Factors such as economic conditions, social grievances, and institutional frameworks greatly influence the rise of "Trump 2.0" figures, beyond simplistic populist narratives.As the Yunnan Fire Department continues to work towards improving their training program and preparing more search and rescue dogs for service, it is clear that the bond between humans and animals in this critical field will only grow stronger. The story of these 39 dogs may be one of initial failure, but it is also a story of hope, resilience, and the unwavering dedication to saving lives, both human and animal alike.

Evergold (TSXV: EVER) reported its highest-grade antimony assays yet from the DEM project near Fort St. James, B.C., putting it in the lead among juniors hunting for the critical metal in Canada, the company said Wednesday. Drill hole DEM24-05 returned 40 metres grading 0.42% antimony starting from 344 metres downhole, including 2.5 metres of 3.6% antimony and 0.50 metre of 8.37% antimony. “Most of our peers, all of our peers in fact, in Canada have been touting grab samples or the acquisition of properties but nobody has actually delivered drill results, but we have them, and they are very strong and very high grade over potentially mineable underground widths,” Kevin Keough, Evergold’s CEO, said by phone. The metal increases the hardness of alloys and is used in advanced military systems, some battery technologies, and other industrial applications, including the production of flame retardant chemicals. The West has been trying for years to loosen China’s grip on the supply of critical minerals and diversify its supply chains. But figures from the U.S. Geological Survey underscore just how little progress has been achieved—at least when it comes to antimony. China produced more than 40,000 tonnes of the silvery-white metal in 2023, about 48% of the world’s total production of 83,000 tonnes, according to the USGS. Other producers include Tajikistan (26%), Turkey (7.2%), Myanmar (5.5%), Russia (5.2%), Bolivia (3.6%), and Australia (2.8%). According to the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, the U.S. has not mined antimony since the Sunshine mine in Idaho closed in 2001, and today imports about 63% of its antimony from China, 8% from Belgium, 6% from India and 4% from Bolivia. It retrieves the rest from recycling lead-acid batteries. Concerns about the critical mineral supply chain in Washington accelerated earlier this month when China banned exports of antimony, gallium and germanium to the U.S. on Dec. 3. That was in retaliation against U.S. restrictions on the export of advanced memory chips to China, unveiled on Dec. 2. The tit-for-tat sanctions and anticipation of more trade disputes under incoming U.S. president Donald Trump, along with reduced supply from other sources of antimony like Russia, have driven prices higher. At the start of the year antimony hovered around US$12,000 per tonne but the price is now closer to US$33,000 per tonne, Evergold says. “It’s a hot speculative commodity this year by virtue of the supply restrictions coming out of China and various other supply restrictions from other countries as well,” Keough said. “Internal conflict in Myanmar has led to limited and unreliable supplies coming out of Southeast Asia, and Russian supplies to the West have been eliminated due to sanctions imposed following their invasion of Ukraine,” Evergold said in a release. “These negative supply shocks drive home the importance of securing reliable sources of antimony, and other critical elements.” Evergold kicked off an initial three-hole drill program at its 28-sq.-km DEM property last year. The company is earning up to a 100% stake in the project, which also hosts gold, silver, cobalt, rhenium, molybdenum and tungsten. “We’re really just getting going on the project,” Keough said. “Like so many juniors we’ve been struggling really to get the drill metres in. It’s been tough to raise money but the few holes we’ve managed to date are really turning up extremely promising results.” In mid-afternoon in Toronto, Evergold’s shares were down 37.5% to 2¢ apiece on Wednesday afternoon in Toronto, giving the junior a market cap of about $3 million.Fu Jing's portrayal of Lily is expected to be a departure from her previous roles, as she dives headfirst into the world of physical comedy and slapstick humor.

Butterball, a famed turkey distribution company , is facing backlash and a boycott days before Thanksgiving after a video of several workers allegedly sexually abusing and torturing live turkeys has reportedly resurfaced. The company was plunged into the drama on Tuesday when People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) activists posted a decades-old video showing several workers abusing live turkeys at a plant in Ozark, Arkansas . According to the animal rights group, the footage — which has gone viral — was obtained in 2006 when one of the activists went undercover as part of a probe into the plant. In the video, workers were filmed bashing the birds against steel cages and stomping on their heads. “One worker took a live bird and stomped on her head, crushing her skull until her head exploded. He then laughed and wiped the blood from his leg," the agent said."He also threw birds against the concrete and punched others." Costco forced to recall 80,000 pounds of butter after the label failed to mention this ingredient 160,000 pounds of ground beef shipped to restaurants recalled after positive E. coli test In the clip, the undercover PETA agent claimed that they had caught one worker inserting his finger into a turkey’s vagina for “fun” while another employee apparently “humped” a bird while it was shackled. "We are aware of a video from nearly 20 years ago, which is being re-shared across social media. This video is not current and was taken prior to Butterball becoming a private company and prior to our engagement and certification through American Humane," a Butterball spokesperson told The Mirror US. "Animal care and well-being is central to who we are as a company, and we are committed to the ethical and responsible care of our flocks." "Eleven years ago, Butterball was the first, and remains the only, turkey company to be American Humane certified," the statement continued. "That means we have yearly audits conducted by a third party to ensure compliance with our 200+ science-based standards of best practice for care of turkeys, well exceeding industry best practices. We are proud of this designation that no other turkey company can claim and have a zero-tolerance policy for animal mistreatment." Despite the company changing its standards, many social media users have expressed their anger at the company. “YOU ARE DISGUSTING!!! I will never eat another product from your company... You should be ashamed of yourselves. I can’t express my disdain for your company right now,” one user said. “Boycott Butterball,” one user raged on X. "I just bought a butterball turkey yesterday. Dinner is f***ing canceled,” another wrote. "I just saw a video about men sexually assaulting turkeys dead and alive ones and they’re advising anyone who bought the brand 'butterball' to return It," a third person stated. Several other social media user expressed their shock at the news while others stated that the whole video made them want to eat the bird altogether. It is currently unclear if Butterball's profits took a massive hit as the video was released when many already have their turkeys.
