LAS VEGAS, May 29: Virginia sports betting declined month-over-month for the first time since launching in January, continuing a nationwide trend of falling betting volume. The drop in wagering to less than $240 million in April was expected, a product of a slower spring and summer sports schedule, according to PlayVirginia, which tracks the state's gaming industry. "April is a reminder of the seasonality of sports betting, and Virginia is not immune," said Jessica Welman, analyst for the PlayUSA.com Network, which includes PlayVirginia.com. "In the U.S., there really isn't any way to replace the popularity of the NFL or the NCAA Tournament with bettors. The seasonal slowdown should last until football season, which will almost certainly return the market to significant growth." Virginia sportsbooks attracted $236.4 million in bets in April, according to data released Friday by The Virginia Lottery. That is down 22.2% from $304.1 million in March and ...

SEATTLE, May 29: About two-thirds of surveyed Redfin.com users who relocated over the last year have the same or lower housing costs, and almost as many said their new home is the same size or bigger. That's according to a new report from Redfin (www.redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage. Key findings from Redfin's recent survey of Redfin.com users who moved to a different metro area from March 2020 through March 2021: 68% have the same or lower housing costs than before their move. 64% moved into a home that's the same size or bigger than their previous residence. 80% have no regrets about their decision to relocate. 80% are happier post-move. Redfin conducted the survey during the first two weeks of April, surveying about 500 Redfin.com users who moved to a different metro area in the last year or plan to relocate in the next year. While housing costs went down and disposable income went up for many respondents, 64% reported moving into a hou...

SILVER SPRING, Md., May 29: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is requesting a total budget of $6.5 billion as part of the President's fiscal year (FY) 2022 budget – a nearly 8% ($477 million) increase over the agency's FY 2021 funding level for investments in critical public health infrastructure, core food safety and medical product safety programs and other vital public health programs.

NEW YORK, May 29: When COVID-19 entered the US in early 2020, it struck an economy experiencing serious worker shortages, especially in blue-collar and manual services jobs. Within weeks, pandemic layoffs and restrictions sent unemployment soaring from historic lows to a peak of 15 percent (April 2020). Labor shortages appeared to be a thing of the past for the foreseeable future. One year later, the unemployment rate remains elevated, at around 6 percent. But qualified workers are once again hard to find, with the National Federation of Independent Businesses reporting that 44 percent of firms have job openings that they are unable to fill—an all-time high on their survey. Labor Shortages Are Making a Comeback, a new report from The Conference Board, examines the unique factors and long-run forces driving this return to extremely tight labor markets. "Just as job losses in the COVID-19 recession were unprecedented in speed and severity, the post-pandemic recovery has set off...

NEW YORK, May 28:More than 30 years since the first World No Tobacco Day (WNTD), there are still 8 million annual deaths attributed to tobacco use and more than 1 billion individuals still smoke. These facts are proof that health policies and actions have not been adequate. The challenges that smokers face when trying to quit have been largely ignored. The calls by the World Health Organization (WHO) for smokers to quit using fairly ineffective interventions suggest we need new approaches. Technology innovation, in the form of harm reduction, offers a new way forward for smokers that complements classic cessation efforts. On this WNTD (May 31), the Foundation urges adult smokers to commit to quit smoking combustibles and chewing toxic smokeless tobacco products or switch to a growing range of less harmful nicotine-based alternatives. On World No Tobacco Day, Foundation for a Smoke-Free World Urges Smokers to Quit or Switch to Harm Reduction Products "Since my involvement in ...

GURGAON, India, May 28:Supporting the country in the battle against COVID-19, Canon India, one of the leaders in the imaging space, is conducting a vaccination awareness drive and setting up support camps in its adopted villages- Maheshwari Village (Haryana), Parivali Village (Mumbai), Kalyanpur Village (Kolkata) and Annadodi Village (Bangalore), to help them register for vaccination. Canon India is helping the villagers with the required information on vaccination, its benefits, after-effects, and procedures. Additionally, considering the lack of access of digital resources amongst the villagers for vaccine registration, the organization is also helping them to get registered on the government portals, in case walk-in registration is not available. Keeping in mind the misinformation surrounding the vaccines especially in small villages, Canon India aims to raise awareness in rural India and debunk all myths related to COVID-19 vaccinations and encourage them to book their slot.
