Both Russia and Venezuela have blocked access to the encrypted messaging app Signal, The Verge reports.The Russian news service Interfax broke the news about the block on the Signal app in Russia. Russias telecommunications watchdog Roskomnadzor restricted the app due to violations of the requirements of the Russian legislation whose fulfillment is necessary to prevent the use of the messenger for terrorist and extremist purposes, according to the Russian report.The cybersecurity tracker NetBlocks confirmed on X on Friday that Russia has restricted access to Signal on most internet providers. NetBlocks also noted the app remains usable with censorship circumvention enabled in Signals settings echoing a recommendation from the Signals X account to users whove been blocked from their messages in both regions .The blocking of Signal in Venezuela occurred in the long shadow of the countrys disputed presidential election results from the end of July. Venezuelas electoral authority declared President Nicols Maduro the winner without publishing any evidence of his win, sparking protests from detractors and supporters of Maduros opponent Edmundo Gonzlez, according to the Associated Press.Both regions have been cutting off access to other similar social media apps possibly as a way to quiet dissenting voices. President Maduro banned X earlier today for a period of 10 days claiming that the companys owner Elon Musk was inciting hatred and violated his social networks rules. VOA News also reported a mass YouTube outage in Russia on Thursday.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/social-media/russia-and-venezuela-have-blocked-encrypted-messaging-app-signal-221433099.html?src=rss

Good news for those who suffer from severe allergic reactions: a nasal spray containing epinephrine rather than a needle can now treat those frightening moments.The treatment, called Neffy, was approved on Friday after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) denied its approval last year despite solid recommendations from the advisory committee. Neffy will become the first non-needle treatment for severe reactions, including anaphylaxis. For those who are needle-phobic, its a long-awaited improvement.Neffy comes from ARS Pharmaceuticals and is approved for use in adults and children weighing more than 66 pounds.Anaphylaxis is life-threatening, and some people, particularly children, may delay or avoid treatment due to fear of injections, Kelly Stone, associate director of FDAs division of pulmonology, allergy, and critical care, said in a statement. The availability of epinephrine nasal spray may reduce barriers to rapid treatment of anaphylaxis. As a result, Neffy provides an important treatment option and addresses an unmet need.Epinephrine has been the go-to treatment for severe allergic reactions since 1901. EpiPen, the pen that could quickly deliver the medication at home or on the go, was developed in the 1970s and was first used in the military. Neffys approval is the first significant development for epinephrine since.According to the FDAs announcement, Neffy is meant to be used as a single dose nasal spray administered into one nostril. Similar to injection products, a second dose (using a new nasal spray to administer neffy in the same nostril) may be given if there is no improvement in symptoms or symptoms worsen.Neffy does have some warnings, particularly for those who have nasal conditions or a history of nasal surgery. People with those issues should consult a healthcare provider before use. Side effects can include throat irritation, headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, and more.EpiPen prices have soared in recent years, and generic brands have already been successful competitors, as theyre far more affordable. This new treatment option should help combat sky-high prices on drugs that treat allergic reactions, and anaphylaxis even more.ARS said it will use a copay savings program to limit the cost to $25 per prescription of two Neffy devices for those with insurance. For those without, it will offer a price of $199 for two doses of Neffy through the digital pharmacy BlinkRx.

Los Angeles studio Millins has updated the east wing of the Everson Museum of Art in New York state designed by architect IM Pei, introducing reflective and colourful materials to a below-grade space.Located in Syracuse and completed in 1968, the Everson Museum of Art (The Everson) consists of three storeys of interlocking concrete volumes organised around a central atrium and contains a collection of mostly American art and ceramics.Millins has updated the east wing of an IM Pei-designed museum in New YorkMillins was originally set to design the new Louise cafe for the museum, but the project expanded to encompass the entire east wing following discussions with the studio's co-founders, Zeina Koreitem and John May and museum director Elizabeth Dunbar.The East Wing is located in a slim rectangular volume affixed to one side of the building, and encompasses a below-grade space that is connected to a second-storey balcony through an atrium.The studio sought to bring more light into the space by introducing reflective materials"The designers were inspired by Peis Brutalist masterpiece, and specifically by the way in which Eversons massing produces intense contrasts of darkness and light," said the team.The cafe and a gallery wrap around the atrium on the second storey, while administrative spaces, an open space and a library sit on the lower level.Millins not only integrated more light into the entire wing but sought to disperse a mixture of programming throughout the space, which had originally been divided between public galleries and private space for the museum's staff.Colourful, translucent curtains divide the lower level"The East Wing has always had an ambiguous relationship with the rest of the museum," said the team. "The upper floor is publicly accessible, but the lower floor is only accessible to staff, despite the fact that they are both joined, visually and acoustically, by a double-height atrium called Mather Court.""The redesign turns the lower level into a semi-public space for events and exhibitions while creating a new research library and renovated staff offices."Custom tables by Millions and refurbished furnishings outfit a lower-level libraryTo offset the darkness of the subterranean lower level, the studio integrated colourful and reflective surfaces and materials throughout the entire wing."We wanted to create a contrast between the existing rough, desaturated textures and the inserted reflective, hyper-saturated textures," said the studio."We like to work with color as a kind of volumetric finish rather than a secondary or superficial layer."Read: MAWD revamps lobby and atrium of Denver tower designed by IM PeiThe studio created two "glass towers" between the concrete structure of Mather Court to achieve the effect.The towers display part of a collection of 4,000 ceramic objects donated by ceramics collector Louise Rosenfield, who gave the ceramics to the project with the note that they should used by the public, not just displayed."The design centers around a series of two-story glass towers that house the Rosenfield collection while bringing light into the space," said the team."The towers feature open shelving, which will allow caf visitors to reach in and pick out any ceramic object they want to eat or drink from a rare blurring of the lines between art and the public."Pastel-coloured furniture sits in the upper-level cafeOn the lower level, translucent, ombre curtains designed in collaboration with Paris-based artist Justin Morin and printed by 4 Spaces were installed as room dividers.Custom tables by Millins outfit the lower library, while the studio refurbished other original furniture pieces by a host of designers including Eero Saarinen and Charles and Ray Eames, which were specified by Pei.A chrome-clad wall lines the back wall of the cafeMillins also designed pastel-coloured tables for the small upstairs cafe, which were paired with light purple Olivares chairs by the director of Knoll Jonathan Olivares.A reflective, chrome wall lines the back wall of the cafe where visitors place orders and a matching chrome countertop divides the space.The project also included updating part of the exterior, including the installation of plantersThe project also included updates to the exterior of the building, where the team cleaned the facade "to reveal its pink tint", restored original pavers, and lined a wall with geometric pink planters designed by Millins."In the end, much of the new work quietly asserts itself, while also receding into the background, materializing daylight and transforming the entire east wing, but with only minimal alterations to Pei's original masterpiece," said the team.Millins is a Los Angeles architecture and design practice, founded by John May and Zeina Koreitem in 2012. The studio works across a variety of scales, including buildings, furniture and books.IM Pei projects have been receiving updates across North America, including a tower in Montreal and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.The photography is by Iwan BaanProject credits:Donor/collector: Louise Rosenfield, Dallas, TXPresident & CEO Everson Museum of Arts: Elizabeth DunbarRosenfield collection curator: Garth JohnsonCurtains: Collaboration with Justin MorinFabric and printing: 4Spaces, ZurichCaf chairs: Knoll Olivares chairs by Jonathan OlivaresCommunal Caf tables: Designed by Millns (Fabrication in Los Angeles by CaliforniaCarts)Research library and offices furniture: Originals by Saarinen, Knoll, Breuer and Eames,spec-ed by IM PEI reupholstered and refurbished by MillnsReconfigurable Library tables: Designed by Millns (Fabrication in Los Angeles byCalifornia Carts)Prismatic towers fabrication: Custom FRANK Showcase system, GermanyPrismatic towers structure: TriPyramid structuresCafe metal fabrication: Kammetal Inc.Lighting design: Derek PorterThe post Millins utilises "intense contrasts" for IM Pei museum renovation appeared first on Dezeen.
