Doctors successfully treat 32-year-old woman suffering from Spina Bifida
Doctors at Ankura Hospital, Hyderabad, performed a minimally invasive procedure on a 32-year-old woman suffering from Spina Bifida, a congenital condition that had caused severe bowel and bladder dysfunction since birth. The patient had previously undergone an Antegrade Continence Enema (ACE) surgery, which failed, leaving her reliant on manual enemas. Under the care of VVS Chandrasekharam and Parijat Ram Tripathi, a colonoscopic cecostomy technique was adopted. It involved placing a Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube into the cecum using colonoscopic guidance, avoiding traditional surgery. Within 24 hours, a saline flush led to spontaneous stool passage, a first for the patient. She experienced no pain and was discharged the next day, said a release.

The game got its name from a combination of the words 'Totalisator' and 'Lotto'. The current format of Toto sees six winning numbers and one additional number drawn from 49 numbers (1 to 49) every Monday and Thursday. The jackpot sum begins from $1,000,000. A snowballing feature, which allows for the prize to increase if there are no winners, was introduced to the game in 1981. The System Entry option, where you can pay to be able to pick more numbers, was added later that year. The winning numbers for the Singapore Pools Toto draw on Monday (16 June) were 48, 32, 27, 49, 5 and 18, with the additional number being 21. As there were no winners for Group 1, the $5,614,761 prize amount snowballed to Thursday's draw (19 June at 9.30pm). Singapore Pools says that 54% of sales in each draw are added to the Toto prize pool. Your winnings from the pool is dependent on which prize group you land in after the draw reveals the winning numbers. Prize group Matching numbers Prize Group 1 (Jackpot) 6 winning numbers 38% of prize pool (Minimum guarantee of $1,000,000) Group 2 5 winning numbers + additional number 8% of prize pool Group 3 5 winning numbers 5.5% of prize pool Group 4 4 winning numbers + additional number 3% of prize pool Group 5 4 winning numbers $50 Group 6 3 winning numbers+ additional number $25 Group 7 3 winning numbers $10 The odds of winning the Toto jackpot (6 winning numbers) are one in almost 14 million, according to Singapore Pools. Prize group Matching numbers Odds of winning Group 1 6 winning numbers 1 in 13,983,816 Group 2 5 winning numbers+ additional number 1 in 2,330,636 Group 3 5 winning numbers 1 in 55,491 Group 4 4 winning numbers+ additional number 1 in 22,197 These figures are available on the Singapore Pools website. Singapore Pools has a prize calculator for Toto which you can find here. The Group 1 prize amount will not snowball beyond the fourth consecutive draw. If there is no Group 1 winner at the end of four consecutive draws, the final jackpot amount (38% of the fourth draw's prize pool plus snowballed amount from the three preceding draws) cascades, i.e. it will be paid to the next prize group with winner(s) and shared equally. Prize amounts for Group 2, 3, and 4 will snowball until it is won. Statistics from Singapore Pools includes lottery draws from 9 October 2014 onwards when Toto was updated to the current 6-out-of-49 format. According to their data, the biggest jackpot prize was $19,416,913 which was drawn on 11 February, 2022. The $19.4 million jackpot had eight winning shares which means the winning share amount worked out to over $2.4m each. A nice sum but nowhere close to the biggest winning shares in Toto history which came in at over $13m on two separate occasions. This happened first on 2 October in 2023 when a single winning share took home $13,077,918. In May last year, another lucky individual had the sole winning share of a very cool $13,123,509 jackpot.

How ACUD Is Quietly Reshaping Egypt's Urban Future
How ACUD Is Quietly Reshaping Egypt's Urban Future The New Capital for Urban Development (ACUD) is charting a course for Egypt's most ambitious urban development project. Away from the dense fabric of Cairo, a new city is taking shape. It has all the trademarks of modern state-building: ministries, high-speed links, entertainment venues, and masterplans thick with ambition. But behind the steel and glass is an entity quietly shaping not just buildings, but perception - both at home and abroad. That entity is the New Capital for Urban Development (ACUD), the owner and master developer of Egypt's New Capital. Founded to deliver on Egypt's vision of a diversified, future-facing economy, ACUD is operating on an increasingly international stage. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, the company has pushed forward on multiple fronts - from global representation at high-profile industry events to strategic memoranda of understanding with regional governments. At MIPIM 2025 in Cannes, one of the real estate industry's most prestigious gatherings, ACUD stood as Egypt's sole representative. This marks its third consecutive year at the summit. Recognition soon followed. ACUD was awarded the 2025 ACE (Acknowledging Contribution & Excellence) Award for its work in shaping Egypt's first sustainable city - a win that positions the New Capital not only as a local solution, but as a case study in urban innovation. That same vision was carried to the Real Estate Future Forum (REFF) in Riyadh, where ACUD took part in high-level regional discussions about smart city frameworks and urban resilience. But perhaps most telling is ACUD's steady expansion of influence across Africa. In Q1, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Zambia, the third such agreement with an African nation following an earlier pact with Zimbabwe and one currently in process with Madagascar. These agreements are part of a broader soft power play: to export Egyptian urban planning expertise and invite local private sector stakeholders to do the same. Add to that a growing Asian footprint - ACUD now counts MoUs with South Korea and China - and the New Capital begins to read less like a national project and more like a transcontinental venture. Back at home, ACUD continues to entrench itself in Egypt's domestic growth narrative. In April, the company showcased its smart city solutions at Bahrain's Social Housing Innovation Exhibition & Conference. It activated a new entertainment strategy in partnership with LNME and TM, launching cultural events headlined by artists like Michael Bublé, Khaled Ghattas and Cairokee, testament to the city's bid for livability and lifestyle appeal. The New Capital is also increasingly framed as a logistical upgrade. In Q1, ACUD ramped up messaging around the city's proximity to Greater Cairo and key transit routes, highlighting improved access and reduced commute times as selling points not just for businesses, but for families and institutions considering relocation. Finally, ACUD bolstered its presence within national economic networks, participating in the Egyptian Businessmen's Association and reinforcing its role as a bridge between public planning and private enterprise. The New Capital is still under construction. But ACUD's Q1 activity suggests it is no longer just building a city, it's building a case. A case for Egypt's relevance in the global real estate conversation. A case for strategic urbanism as soft power. And a case for Cairo's successor not as a replacement, but as a recalibration.
