Is There a Cure For Cancer?
As a part of a clinical trial conducted in New York City, 18 patients trialled a drug called ‘Dostarlimab’ for roughly six months, which resulted in the complete remission of rectal cancer in every single patient.
The patients were all in similar stages of cancer. Rectal cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and invasive surgery all run the risks of bowel, urinary, and sexual dysfunction. The patients went into the trial expecting to have to run these risks but to their surprise, no further treatment was required after they took the drug.
How amazing is this?

LEGO : The A-Z of Awesome
To mark Pride Month, the LEGO Group has invited LGBTQIA+ families to bring their identity to life through creative self-expression in order to raise awareness of the identities and stories within those communities.
The A-Z will be developed in creative LEGO creations to help LGBTQIA+ families use play to have open conversations about their identities. For the alphabet to be created in the most authentic and meaningful way possible, the designs of each letter will be created by members of the LGBTQIA+ community, including LEGO fans, young and old, members of the community and LEGO employees.
Upcoming Events
Eid-Ul-Adha 2022
The day of Eid-ul-Adha falls on the tenth day in the final (twelfth) month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar; Dhu-al-Hijjah. The day that celebrations fall on is dependent on a legitimate sighting of the moon, following the completion of the annual Holy Pilgrimage of Hajj – which is an obligation for all Muslim’s who fit specific criteria, one of the important Five Pillars of Islam.
According to Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Astronomy Society, the first Day of Eid Al Adha will likely be July 9, 2022. That would mean that most likely, the Eid Al Adha holiday for the UAE will be from July 8, a Friday, to July 11, a Monday.
