just now (339+ words) KOTA KINABALU: Ridicule and criticism is not stopping Sabah's oldest election candidate from trying to win in the Keningau state seat of Bingkor that he is contesting.

A growing number of GPs can help continue prescriptions for ADHD patients over the age of six in NSW after the state government passed reforms expanding the toolbox for doctors who undergo specialist training. As a result, those with ADHD may no longer be forced to endure long waits for costly psychiatrist appointments when their prescription runs out. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a condition that affects a person's ability to control their thoughts, actions and emotions, which can impact their relationships and performance at school or work. With estimates of up to 175,000 children and 632,000 adults living with the condition in NSW, out-of-pocket savings could total $1.13 billion per year, according to the Royal Australian College of GPs.

Union of India]. A Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justice Joymala Bagchi asked whether the refusal did not amount to hurting the religious feelings of the soldiers subordinate to him.

1+ min ago (377+ words) The Shedeur Sanders era has officially begun in Cleveland, the Browns naming him the starting quarterback for their next game. Presumably, he will remain in the starting lineup as long as his play justifies it. Of course, in Cleveland, all he has to do is be better than other bad quarterbacks, so the bar is low. It's important to note that Browns HC Kevin Stefanski didn't just announce that Shedeur Sanders would start the next game. He also made very clear that Dillon Gabriel, their previous starter, is out of the concussion protocol. That means, despite the opportunity for a full week of preparation, Gabriel won't get the nod. In his first career start, Shedeur Sanders went 11-for-20 for 209 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception. His touchdown was a 66-yard catch-and-run with a depth of target behind the line of scrimmage....
