Why are girls getting their period earlier?
Girls in the U.S., particularly those from racial and ethnic minorities and lower socioeconomic backgrounds, are experiencing their first menstrual period significantly earlier compared to previous generations, with some as young as 5 years old. Overweight and obesity, low physical activity, and excessive screen time are identified as major risk factors for early pubertal development in girls. 1 View gallery ( Photo: Shutterstock )Toxic air, environmental factors, stress, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and exposure to sex hormones are additional potential causes linked to the earlier onset of puberty, especially in girls from lower socioeconomic and ethnic minority groups. The trend of earlier puberty is especially pronounced among Black, Hispanic, Asian, and mixed-race participants, as well as those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Early menarche (first period) and irregular menstrual cycles are linked to increased health risks, including heart problems, dementia, lower fertility, metabolic conditions, and psychological issues like depression and lack of self-confidence in young girls.

Sonia, Rahul meet Hasina
Indian Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) chairperson Sonia Gandhi, along with former Congress president Rahul Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, called on Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in New Delhi, according to a report published on www.hindustantimes.com. The Bangladesh PM was in the national capital to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his council of ministers. The connection between Sheikh Hasina and the Gandhi family can be traced back to the relationship between their predecessors. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Sheikh Hasina's father and the founding leader of Bangladesh, had a cordial relationship with Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India. Indira Gandhi played a significant role during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, supporting Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan, which has fostered a long-standing sense of gratitude and mutual respect.

Untangling the Electoral Web: A path towards transparent financing
When providing financial assistance to candidates, political parties must adhere to prescribed expenditure limits and ensure payments are made through accountable financial instruments. Furthermore, political parties are required to maintain and submit annually audited accounts by qualified Chartered Accountants to the ECI. Despite the ECI’s efforts to enforce expenditure limits and ensure transparency, political parties often engage in under-the-table giveaways, including gifts, cash, and gold, to influence voters. It highlighted the necessity of establishing an appropriate regulatory framework for the regulation of political parties before considering state funding. This transparent allocation process would mitigate the influence of private donors and promote a level playing field for all political parties and candidates.
