Biden Names Leader for ‘Moonshot’ Cancer Campaign
Greg Simon, an experienced corporate executive who is battling cancer himself, will lead the initiative launched by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.I do not hold much hope for this effort.
Cancer is the preoccupation of the healthcare system.
It is also the symptom of a broad spectrum of disorders.
New insights are instantly transformed into new treatments.
The limit of our ability to treat and cure the symptom is our understanding of the mechanisms of the diseases.
As with the moonshot the science comes before the engineering.
We are far from an analytic understanding of life.
We will need to be closer to cure cancer.

U.N. Officials Warned That Congolese Soldiers Were Linked to Rape
Just months after troops from the Democratic Republic of Congo arrived on a peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic, allegations of sexual abuse began piling up."The soldiers had a history of using rape on the battlefield, the officials said. Within months of the soldiers’ arrival, allegations of sexual abuse began piling up against several of them.
At
least one United Nations official urged that the 800-member battalion
be sent home swiftly. But even after a decision was made early this year
to do so, the troops were kept on for another six weeks."
