  • Southwest Monsoon Likely to Enter Odisha Within 2–3 Days; Pre-Monsoon Rainfall Activity Set to Intensify

    Bhubaneswar, June 9 (UDN): Odisha is likely to witness an increase in pre-monsoon rainfall activity over the next few days, with the southwest monsoon expected to enter the state within the next two to three days, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

    Southwest Monsoon Likely to Enter Odisha Within 2–3 Days; Pre-Monsoon Rainfall Activity Set to Intensify

    Representational image

    The weather department stated that atmospheric conditions have become increasingly favourable for the advancement of the monsoon. Moisture-laden cloud bands originating from the Bay of Bengal continue to move towards Odisha, creating conducive conditions for the monsoon’s arrival. Several districts have already experienced intermittent rainfall and thunderstorm activity over the past few days.

    Despite the rainfall, hot and humid conditions continue to prevail across many parts of the state due to the influx of moisture-bearing winds, causing discomfort among residents. Meteorologists clarified that the current spell of rain is associated with pre-monsoon activity and should not be mistaken for the official onset of the southwest monsoon.

    According to the IMD, cloud formation and moisture flow over the Bay of Bengal have strengthened significantly, paving the way for the monsoon to make further progress towards Odisha. Once the monsoon sets in, the state is expected to receive more widespread and sustained rainfall, providing relief from the prevailing heat and supporting agricultural activities ahead of the kharif season.

    Meanwhile, Kalbaisakhi activity remains active in several districts. Many areas are experiencing hot and humid weather during the daytime, followed by thunderstorms, lightning, gusty winds, and rainfall during the afternoon and evening hours. This weather pattern is likely to continue over the coming days.

    In view of the prevailing weather conditions, the IMD has issued an Orange Warning for 11 districts, forecasting thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty surface winds. A Yellow Warning has also been issued for 19 districts, urging residents to remain cautious and avoid venturing outdoors during adverse weather conditions.

    Recent Kalbaisakhi storms have already impacted normal life in several parts of the state, including Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, where heavy rain and strong winds led to waterlogging, traffic disruptions, uprooted trees, and damage to infrastructure.

    Authorities have advised people to stay alert, follow official weather advisories, and take necessary precautions during thunderstorm activity. Fishermen have also been cautioned about rough sea conditions along the Odisha coast.

    With pre-monsoon showers becoming more active and weather systems turning increasingly favourable, Odisha is now poised to welcome the southwest monsoon, marking the beginning of the crucial rainy season for the state.

    A celebration of Kettal’s 60th anniversary at NeoCon 2026 with Kettal Workplace, a complete workplace ecosystem integrating architecture, furniture, acoustics, lighting, and adaptable environments.

    A special NeoCon conversation with Eames Demetrios on June 8 exploring the lasting infl uence of Charles and Ray Eames on contemporary workplace design

    Kettal to Present the Future of Workplace Environments at NeoCon 2026 Featuring The Eames Pavilion System, Shogun, U-Type, and Area

    Chicago, Illinois June 9: Kettal, the contemporary design company known for its architectural approach to indoor and outdoor environments, will return to NeoCon 2026 from June 8–10 with Kettal Workplace. Focused on the evolution of the contemporary workplace through fl exible environments, architectural systems, and human-centered design, the showcase refl ects Kettal’s expansion beyond furniture into a broader workplace offering integrating architecture, atmosphere, lighting, acoustics, seating, and collaborative environments.

    At the core of the presentation is the idea that the workplace is shifting away from static offi ce layouts toward more fl uid environments designed around changing patterns of work and interaction. The showroom brings together workstations, meeting areas, acoustic rooms, retreat spaces, lounge environments, lighting, and architectural systems into one integrated workplace approach.

    Kettal to Present the Future of Workplace Environments at NeoCon 2026 Featuring The Eames Pavilion System, Shogun, U-Type, and Area

    Among the highlights will be the evolution of the Eames Pavilion System into workplace and interior applications. Rooted in Charles Eames and Ray Eames’ enduring ideas around prefabrication, modular construction, and human-scaled environments, the adaptable architectural system explores how fl exible structures can shape contemporary workplace experiences through collaborative workspaces, informal meeting areas, and retreat environments. Developed in partnership with the Eames Offi ce and grounded in extensive archival research into Charles and Ray Eames’ residential projects of the 1940s and 1950s, the Eames Pavilion System translates the Eameses’ pioneering architectural concepts into a fully engineered modular construction system designed for fl exibility, interior adaptability, and long-term evolution. Conceived as an integrated kit of parts with repeatable structural modules, interchangeable roof types, facade infi lls, glazing, textiles, and accessory offerings, the system refl ects Charles and Ray Eames’ belief that architecture should function as an adaptable framework for life and work rather than a fi xed object. Emphasizing spatial generosity, material clarity, and the relationship between architecture and human experience, the presentation refl ects Kettal’s broader approach to creating environments that move between exterior, architectural, and interior confi gurations.

  • Weight Loss Treatments Linked to Lower Risk of Obesity-Related Cancers in People Without Diabetes

    A study of more than 229,000 obese adults without diabetes in the United States has shown that weight loss drugs are associated with a decreased risk of obesity-related cancers. 

    The research found that GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), such as semaglutide (brand names: Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (brand names: Mounjaro and Zepbound), were associated with a 41% decrease in the overall risk of developing cancer among non-diabetic patients who used the drugs for weight management, compared to those who relied on diet and exercise alone. 

    Published in Annals of Oncology, the study is the first to investigate the link between GLP-1 RAs and the incidence of obesity-related cancers in people who are obese (body mass index of 30 or more) but who do not have diabetes. These patients tend to be younger than those who do have diabetes.

    Thirteen cancers have been linked to obesity, known as obesity-associated cancers; they include endometrial, breast, bowel, kidney, pancreatic, thyroid, ovarian, esophageal, gastric, liver and gallbladder cancers, and multiple myeloma and meningioma. They account for about 40% of cancers diagnosed in high-income countries, and their incidence is rising rapidly among younger adults.

    “Our study found that over an average follow-up of two years, GLP-1 RA use was associated with a significantly lower incidence of cancers directly fuelled by excess body weight,” said Dr. Aparna Kamat, director of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at Houston Methodist and senior author of the study. “Overall cancer risk was reduced by 41% and we saw even larger reductions in certain subgroups, including men, where the risk dropped by nearly 70%. Among gynecologic cancers, there was a 58% reduction in the incidence of endometrial cancer, one of the malignancies most closely linked to obesity.

    GLP-1 RAs were developed initially to treat diabetes but have rapidly become the most widely used medications for weight loss. In the US, GLP-1 RAs use among obese, non-diabetic adults has increased from approximately 21,000 patients in 2019 to more than 174,000 in 2023. 

    “We already had evidence suggesting these drugs might reduce cancer risk in diabetic patients, but most of the people now taking GLP-1 RAs for weight loss do not have diabetes,” Kamat said. “They are younger obese patients and represent a completely different population. We wanted to investigate whether these medications would affect the risk of obesity-associated cancers in this specific population of patients who make up the majority of GLP-1 RA users in the country – no one had studied this before.

    Kamat said that GLP-1 RAs are already transforming how obesity is treated.  “What this analysis of more than 229,000 patients tells us is that their impact may reach further and transform how we think about cancer prevention,” she said.

    The researchers analyzed records from 229,467 obese, non-diabetic patients drawn from a nationwide database (TriNetX) covering 113 million U.S. patients. Between December 2014 and June 2025, 86,422 patients (38%) received prescriptions for GLP-1 RAs (semaglutide or tirzepatide) and 143,045 (62%) received advice on diet and exercise. They were followed up until a cancer was diagnosed, or they died or were lost to follow-up, or for two years following their first prescription of the drugs or diet and exercise counselling. The average age of the patients was 47 years.

    After closely matching the GLP-1 RA patients with the diet and exercise patients to ensure a fair comparison between the two groups and to emulate the conditions of a randomized controlled trial, there was a total of 161,796 patients, with 80,899 patients in each group.

    “Our study suggests GLP-1 RAs may have benefits that extend beyond weight management,” said Pedro Ramirez, chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Houston Methodist and second author of the study. “It should be noted that while the findings do not prove that GLP-1 drugs directly prevent cancer, they provide early evidence that deserves further study in long-term clinical trials.”

    “Given the significant reduction in endometrial cancer incidence among GLP-1 RA users in the study, we are now looking into mechanisms by which GLP-1 RAs may affect endometrial cancer growth and prognosis,” Kamat said. “We are studying mechanistic pathways that are modulated by these drugs – work that could open new treatment strategies for one of the most common gynecologic malignancies.”

    The researchers say that their findings require further research, especially as the duration of follow-up was only two years. In the meantime, doctors and patients should consider the potential benefit of cancer prevention when discussing GLP-1 RA use.

    “Our findings do not prove causation, and cancer risk reduction should not yet be a stand-alone reason to prescribe GLP-1 RAs,” Kamat said. “However, for obese, non-diabetic patients who are already candidates for these medications, our data provide an additional and potentially important reason to have that conversation. For policymakers and other researchers, our study is a clear signal that GLP-1 RAs deserve serious investigation as cancer prevention agents, particularly as obesity-related cancers increasingly affect adults in their 40s and 50s.” 

    “This study highlights the potential for a major shift in how we think about obesity treatment and cancer prevention,” Ramirez said. “As the use of GLP-1 RA medications continues to grow worldwide, understanding their broader health impact is critically important. At Houston Methodist, we are committed to  innovative, data-driven research that has the potential to improve patient outcomes far beyond traditional boundaries of care.”

     
     
     
     

  • Parlini Land Launches Multilingual Children’s Language Learning App

    App offers low-stimulation, play-based educational games that enable families around the world to raise digitally literate children in their heritage or second language

    MALTA, June 9: Parlini Land, a multilingual educational app that enables children to learn up to 11 different languages, has launched on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Created for children ages three to eight, Parlini Land offers a library of quality, play-based educational games that feature fun, low-stimulation screen time. Activities on the app include number tracing, spelling, colour and shape recognition, matching, counting, flashcards, puzzles, and more. Parlini Land gives families around the world the ability to raise digitally literate children in their heritage or second language.

    “The impetus for creating Parlini Land started when I became a mother,” explained Francesca Borg Bellanti, Parlini Land’s founder. “I noticed a gap that millions of families face but rarely talk about: the internet is overwhelmingly in English. For families who speak another language, whether it’s Arabic, Hindi, Irish, Polish, or Greek, it can be incredibly hard to find screen time that is genuinely engaging, age-appropriate, safe, and educational in their language. That’s the problem we’re solving with Parlini Land.”

    Parlini Land is teacher-approved. The app supports language learning in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Greek, Irish, Hindi, Arabic, Swedish, and Polish. The immersive user experience features real human voices (not AI) in the child’s chosen language. The experience is calm and designed for low stimulation. It’s engaging, not addictive.

    Borg Bellanti added, “Parlini Land is for bilingual families, perhaps in diaspora communities, who where parents want to keep a heritage language alive at home. We enable parents to introduce a new language naturally through play. The alternative is to surrender to English being the language of childhood, which is the risk parents face when every game, cartoon, and app a child interacts with is in English.”
