NEW HAVEN: If the smoothies, fruit syrups and kombuchas at the new healthy spot in town, The Cult Cafe on State Street, it looks pretty cool, there’s a reason for that. Owner Alexander Angeloff grew them himself. And if Angeloff, 30, seems a bit like a cross between a former apothecary owner and a mad scientist, well, there’s a reason for at least part of that, too. It is a member of the Silver family, which for generations owned and operated the iconic Silver’s Drug Shop in downtown West Haven. His grandfather was the late Ed Silver, who with brother…

Reporters were briefed by Robert Floyd, executive secretary of the agency that oversees the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (TCBT), which was opened for signature 25 years ago but has not yet entered into force because it requires ratification by a handful of key countries, which have nuclear capabilities. “Once in force, the CTBT will serve as a essential element of a world free of nuclear weapons. To achieve this world, we all aspire to, a universal and effectively verifiable ban on nuclear testing is a fundamental necessity,” he said. World at risk Mr. Floyd was speaking against the backdrop of the…

The victim said she could care less about the car. It was her golden doodle, Leo, who was in the back seat, that worried her the most. MILFORD, Conn. – A Seymour man is asking for the community’s help in finding his dog that was inside his car when it was stolen outside a Milford restaurant Thursday. Emanuel Castillo said he parked his new Kia Forte in front of DiBella’s Subs so he could keep an eye on him as he ran in to pick up the dinner he ordered online. But DiBella had no record of his order, which…

Today, the FDA approved darolutamide in combination with docetaxel chemotherapy for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). This means that patients with mHSPC (prostate cancer that has spread beyond the prostate and is responding to hormone therapy, or who have not yet received hormone therapy) have an additional treatment option. Darolutamide (Nubeqa) is a new hormone therapy that works by blocking the androgen receptor. Androgens are the hormones that act as the “fuel” for prostate cancer. The approval is based on the results of a large phase 3 clinical trial called ARASENS. This trial compared outcomes between 1,300 patients…

As Kenya’s two main presidential contenders jostle for votes in the upcoming election, a third candidate has emerged on a marijuana-and-hyena testicles campaign to help solve the country’s economic woes.

However, reggae aficionado George Wajackoyah has emerged as a wild card candidate, pledging to erase the country’s debt with his “ganja solution”. Wajackoyah has attracted younger members of the electorate, and many say mainstream politicians have failed to tackle corruption, inflation and unemployment. The undertaker-turned-law…
