[ad_1] A 65-year-old woman was bitten by a shark Monday afternoon at Rockaway Beach, the authorities said, in what appeared to be the first confirmed shark bite in New York City waters in decades. The woman, Tatyana Koltunyuk, was bitten on the left leg as she swam near Beach 59th Street, a spokeswoman for the city’s parks department said. Ms. Koltunyuk was swimming alone when lifeguards heard her screaming for help, according to a police report. Lifeguards removed Ms. Koltunyuk from the water, applied a tourniquet and administered other first aid, and emergency responders then took her to Jamaica Hospital in critical condition. On Tuesday, her condition was listed as “serious but stable,” the police said. “We hope for a full recovery for this swimmer,” the parks department spokeswoman, Meghan Lalor, said in a statement. “Though this was a frightening event, we want to remind New Yorkers that shark bites in Rockaway are extremely rare.” The police report indicated that Ms. Koltuny

[ad_1] Major food manufacturers have already acknowledged that the sudden and extreme popularity of a new generation of weight loss drugs  could potentially threaten profits  if they don't adapt. Semaglutides like Ozempic and Wegovy, prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes, are also now being used for weight loss given that they suppress the appetite. Food makers are keeping a close eye on how they might change Americans' consumption patterns on a large scale.  "Food companies are really in the early stages of trying to assess what the impact is going to be," Jesse Newman, food and agriculture reporter for the Wall Street Journal, told CBS News.   Investors in major food brands are also "concerned that this could threaten sales down the road," she added. But in addition to threatening a potential reduction in demand from suppressed consumption, the drugs could also present new opportunities for food makers.  It&#

[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment NAIROBI, Kenya — Twenty-one bodies have been found so far on land owned by a pastor in coastal Kenya who was arrested for telling his followers to fast to death. Malindi sub-county police chief John Kemboi said more shallow graves have yet to be dug up on the land belonging to pastor Paul Makenzi, who was arrested on April 14 over links to cultism. A further four people died after they and others were discovered starving at the Good News International Church. Police have asked a court to allow them to hold Makenzi longer as investigations into the deaths of his followers continue. A tip-off from members of the public led police to raid the pastor’s property in Malindi, where they found 15 emaciated people, including the four who later died. The followers said they were starving on the pastor’s instructions in order to meet Jesus. Police had been told there were dozens of shallow graves spread across Makenzi’s farm and digging started on Friday.

"Berkshire Hathaway could not have been built to its present status without Charlie's inspiration, wisdom and participation," Buffett said in the statement. Indeed, Buffett's 2022  annual letter  to shareholders calculated that Berkshire Hathaway's shares had gained more than 3,787,000% from 1965 through 2022, compared with a 24,700% gain in the S&P 500 over the same period.  Munger served as a sounding board on investmen
