#Melania Trump says 'gift of nature' can heal sick children


Melania Trump has said the power of nature can help sick children recover, asserting that she is a "passionate believer" in the power of nature's elements in improving health and well-being.

During a visit to a pediatric ward in New York City, Ms Trump told patients and doctors she believed nature could be "instrumental" to improving children's health.

“I am a passionate believer in integrating and interpreting nature’s elements into our daily lives to create a warm, nurturing and positive environment," the First Lady said, according to a statement released by the hospital.

"It is important to me that children can recognize, identify and express their feelings in order to promote their mental wellness and healing process."

Her remarks came amid Donald Trump's plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act — a move that could strip health care coverage from up to 13 million children.

During the visit, which fell on World Book Day, Ms Trump read a book to some of the sick children at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan, which included the line: “You'll be famous as famous can be."
Reading Dr. Seuss’ Oh, The Places You’ll Go! — which she said was one of her favorite books — the First Lady told the youngsters: “You go places where you feel better,” before reading: “You’ll be as famous as famous can be. With the whole wide world watching you win on TV.”

The hospital marked Ms Trump's first solo outing as First Lady. She has otherwise kept a low profile, appearing only at her husband’s side for a number of official events.

It has subsequently been claimed the First Lady is “miserable” in her role, reluctantly grappling with how to embrace the increased scrutiny, but others have argued her low profile is an indication that she is still settling the family and is taking her time to determine how she will make an impact.
Former White House social secretary Ann Stock recently told the Washington Post: “Each First Lady takes on the role and makes it their own. That evolves over time. First [priority] for every President and First Lady is settling in their family."

Ms Trump assumed her role with the lowest favorability ratings of any modern first lady. Thirty-seven per cent of the public had a favorable view of her in a Gallup poll released in January, while the same percentage gave her an unfavorable rating.

Michelle Obama, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton each had a favorability rating above 55 per cent when they became first lady.

Every Delayed 2020 Movie Without A New Release Date

Several 2020 movies have seen their release dates delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic; here's every film that still needs a new one. With theaters closed down and film and TV production shut-down until further notice, Hollywood's 2020 release calendar has been all but  wiped clean on through to the middle of July  (with a few exceptions which will eventually have to move, as we'll discuss later). There's no guarantee theaters will be reopen for business by that point either, in spite of chains like Cinemark saying  they hope to resume showing new movies  that month.

CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

  The evacuations have come amid a grueling heat wave, the coronavirus pandemic and air thick with smoke. The wildfires have burned through more than 350,000 acres. The wildfires that continued to rip across Northern California on Thursday have forced 62,000 people from their homes and threaten evacuations for 100,000 more. Firefighters have struggled to contain the blazes, and massive smoke clouds have harmed the air quality. A large group of fires burning in wine country west of Sacramento had grown to cover 131,000 acres, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire authority. The agency said that, in all, nearly 350,000 acres have burned in Northern and Central California, with many fires sparked by lightning strikes in the high heat and then fanned by winds. Those conditions helped new fires sprout across the state on Wednesday and Thursday, and caused other fires to merge, complicating efforts to contain the combined blazes. Almost two dozen major fires were reported on Wednesday,...

#Yara Virus : The New Mysterious Virus Found In Brazil.

Scientists have discovered a new virus in an artificial lake in Brazil. This mysterious virus found in amoebae has been named “Yaravirus.” This latest discovery comes as the coronavirus from China continues to ravage the world. While the world scrabbles around looking for a cure for the deadly coronavirus, scientists have found another virus. Unlike the former which started in  China,  this new one comes from an artificial lake in  Brazil. Independent  reports that this virus named "Yaravirus" was found in an amoebae. It was named after "Yara" or “Iara,” which means 'mother of waters' - a mythical siren/mermaid figure from Brazilian mythology who would lure sailors underwater. Scientists are saying that this virus is mysterious because it has genes that no one has seen before. Reporting the new discovery in  bioRxiv, a  biological sciences website, the researchers wrote:  “We report the discovery of Yaravirus, a new lineage of amoe...
