In “A Visit to a Synagogue,” Ella Scotts gives viewers a virtual tour of a synagogue in Golders Green.

Scott told The Jewish Chronicle that “videos like these matter because non-Jewish pupils learn about Judaism in school, and it’s important the content is accurate. We also try to help people in need because that’s really important in Judaism.” There’s a nursery and a school, and different kinds of activities every week.

Your teeth and gums have a wide-ranging impact on your health, from your risk of Alzheimer's, to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

In the largest study of its kind, Wu studied the health data of 34,000 patients in the US to find that for every tooth someone loses, they have a 1.4% increase in risk of cognitive impairment and 1.1% heightened risk of dementia. So far Wu's tooth-loss studies have only investigated correlations and not causation, but she wants to investigate the role of nutrition in this relationship, among other factors. The ultimate conclusion of periodontitis, if aggressive and untreated, is tooth loss. Tooth loss has been largely overlooked as a risk factor for dementia, and Wu says she is usually greeted with surprise when she points out the relationship between the two. "It's the same inflammatory mediators that are active in several types of inflammatory diseases – rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, diabetes and so on. This was shortly followed by the discovery of a wave of other inflammatory markers that exacerbate both obesity and type 2 diabetes. In the short term, inflammatory markers act as excellent guides for the immune system to the site of likely infection. Meanwhile, the infection has sent a steady drip of bacteria, such as Treponema denticola and Porphyromonas gingivalis, around the bloodstream for decades. This is because diseases of the mouth don't always stay in the mouth. The modern human is unique in the level of painstaking, daily intervention we need to make sure our teeth and gums don't become diseased. Periodontitis is an infection not in the surface gum that you can see when you grin, but deep below the surface. Globally, it is the 11th most common disease in the world.

North East Dartmoor Care says carers are leaving amid rising fuel costs and higher wages elsewhere.

"It's tragic really. The council said: "We are now working closely with the people that NEDCare supports at home to review their care needs and arrange suitable, alternative support that meets their requirements." She said: "We are a very rural area so it is very hard to find people who are able to drive, and have the capacity to travel distances.

When he arrived at the house, Mr Leonard said he "got all ready and got all my PPE... my mask and my gloves ready to deal with the infestation at hand". When he arrived he was told they had spotted a mouse in the cupboard that was either dead or in "stealth mode". A pest controller had "a good laugh" with a tenant when he discovered "the rat infestation" he had come to deal with was no more than a toy mouse.

"During the evidence-gathering sessions there was much appreciation expressed for the emergency response not just from Northumberland County Council staff and our Fire and Rescue Service, but also the crews from the utility companies the hundreds of volunteers and other organisations and of course the military who all went above and beyond in very difficult conditions." Council leader Glen Sanderson thanked residents for getting involved in the sessions, which also had input from utility companies, the emergency services and council teams. Authorities must work closely together and keep residents informed in emergencies to avoid situations like after Storm Arwen, a council said.
