Novartis And Medicines For Malaria Venture Announced Data From Phase 2/3 CALINA Study, Demonstrating That Formulated Coartem Developed For Babies Weighing Less Than 5Kg With Malaria Has The Required Pharmacokinetic Profile, Good Efficacy, And Safety

Elon Musk has escalated his conflict with the Australian government, advocating for the incarceration of a senator and voicing criticism of Australia&#8217;s gun laws. This follows a court directive to remove a violent video from his social media platform, X.
What Happened: On Tuesday, an X user posted a clip of Australian Sen. Jacqui Lambie who deleted her X account and encouraged other politicians to follow suit. Lambie criticized Musk for his lack of social conscience and suggested he should be jailed.
"…quite frankly, the power that that man has because of that platform that he's on, it's got to stop. It has absolutely got to stop. But leaving that out for our kids to see, for people that were family and friends out there and just letting that run on there, once again, that bloke has no conscience. He's an absolute friggin disgrace, and there's nothing else to say about Elon Musk," Lambie said. 
Musk responded to the post, saying, &#8220;Absolutely. She is an enemy of the people of Australia.&#8221;
Musk&#8217;s disagreement with Australian authorities heightened after a federal court demanded his social media platform, X, to temporarily stop displaying a video showing a knife assault on an Assyrian bishop, This order led Musk to accuse Australia&#8217;s leaders of internet censorship.

Why It Matters: This incident follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/10/35257873/elon-musks-x-faces-386k-penalty-in-australia-for-dodging-child-abuse-probe">penalty of $386,000</a> that was imposed on X by the Australian regulator last year for inadequate compliance with a child abuse prevention investigation.
Musk extended his criticism to Australia&#8217;s 1996 gun buy-back and registration scheme, endorsing a post that alleged the scheme was designed to prevent resistance against its &#8220;fascist government&#8221;.
Australia&#8217;s Home Affairs Minister <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38368734/elon-musk-hits-back-at-australias-leader-amid-row-over-removal-of-violent-video-from-x-does-the-pm-t">Clare O&#8217;Neill accused social media companies</a> of inciting &#8220;civil division, social unrest&#8221; and criticized Musk for legally defending the right to display alleged terrorist content on his platform. 
A hearing to decide the permanence of the takedown order is scheduled for May 10.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has cut its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38136012/apple-vision-pros-immersive-content-library-to-expand-with-a-dinosaur-film-iphone-16-to-further-boos">Vision Pro </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38136012/apple-vision-pros-immersive-content-library-to-expand-with-a-dinosaur-film-iphone-16-to-further-boos">shipments</a> by nearly half due to a significant drop in demand, according to a new report.
What Happened: The Cupertino-based tech giant has revised its Vision Pro shipment estimates to 400,000-450,000 units for 2024, down from the initial 700,000-800,000 units. The changes have forced Apple to reconsider its overall headset strategy, <a href="https://medium.com/@mingchikuo/apple-cuts-2024-2025-vision-pro-shipment-forecasts-unfavorable-to-mr-headset-pancake-and-micro-38796834f930">said</a> analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
He suggests that the demand for Vision Pro has dropped significantly in the United States, leading Apple to adopt a cautious approach to its international launch. This has prompted Apple to re-evaluate its headset business strategy.
"Apple cut orders before launching Vision Pro in non-US markets, which means that demand in the US market has fallen sharply beyond expectations, making Apple take a conservative view of demand in non-US markets."
Kuo also hinted that Apple might not release a second-generation Vision Pro in 2025, as previously speculated.

Apple had previously planned to produce approximately 400,000 Vision Pro headsets in 2024. It is possible that Apple increased this target before the Vision Pro&#8217;s release in February, only to now lower it again.
Apple is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37862487/apple-planning-to-launch-vision-pro-next-in-these-countries-next-here-is-what-latest-job-postings-re">expected to expand</a> the Vision Pro's availability at the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June.
Why It Matters: The Vision Pro, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37048792/sam-altman-lauds-apple-vision-pro-second-most-impressive-tech-since-the-iphone">launched in February</a>, has been a topic of debate. Privacy expert Albert Fox Cahn criticized it as a &#8220;buggy beta test of a product launch,&#8221; raising concerns about increased surveillance.
Despite this, the headset <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37048792/sam-altman-lauds-apple-vision-pro-second-most-impressive-tech-since-the-iphone">received praise from industry leaders</a>, with OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman calling it the second most impressive tech since the iPhone.
Price Action: Apple's shares were up 0.23% in premarket trading on Wednesday after closing at $166.82 on Tuesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Feeling like you&#8217;re constantly running on a hamster wheel, with deadlines looming over your head like dark clouds? You&#8217;re not alone. The corporate rat race can be suffocating, but I&#8217;ve discovered some life-saving stress busters that helped me reclaim my sanity and zest for life. Let&#8217;s dive into these 10 simple yet effective strategies to help you escape the grind and prevent burnout.
1. Set Clear Work-Life Boundaries
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044511/download-17-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-305995" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044511/download-17-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044511/download-17-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044511/download-17-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044511/download-17-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044511/download-17.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Clear Work-Life Boundaries. Image generated using DALL-E 3</figcaption></figure>
It all started when I began setting strict boundaries between work and personal life. No emails after 6 PM, and weekends are sacred. This small change helped me reduce anxiety and made my off-time truly rejuvenating.
2. Daily Exercise
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044518/download-1-12-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-305996" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044518/download-1-12-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044518/download-1-12-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044518/download-1-12-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044518/download-1-12-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044518/download-1-12.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">People exercising. Image generated using DALL-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Integrating a daily exercise routine was a game changer. Whether it was a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a full-blown gym workout, moving my body helped in shedding the day&#8217;s stress and boosted my mood tremendously.
3. Mindfulness And Meditation
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044540/download-19-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-306001" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044540/download-19-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044540/download-19-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044540/download-19-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044540/download-19-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044540/download-19.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A boy doing yoga. Image generated using DALL-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Starting my day with just 10 minutes of meditation set a calm tone for the rest of the day. Practicing mindfulness helped me remain more present and less reactive to the day-to-day stresses.
4. Nurturing Hobbies
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044551/download-20-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-306003" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044551/download-20-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044551/download-20-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044551/download-20-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044551/download-20-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044551/download-20.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Build a hobby. Image generated using DALL-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Rediscovering old hobbies or picking up new ones can be incredibly therapeutic. For me, painting and playing the guitar allowed creative expressions that professional life often stifles.
5. Healthy Eating
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044619/download-21-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-306005" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044619/download-21-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044619/download-21-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044619/download-21-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044619/download-21-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044619/download-21.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A man cooking. Image generated using DALL-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Swapping out junk food for nutritious meals did wonders not just for my waistline but also for my mental health. A well-nourished body supports a healthy mind.
6. Adequate Sleep
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044637/download-22-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-306006" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044637/download-22-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044637/download-22-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044637/download-22-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044637/download-22-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24044637/download-22.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A boy sleeping. Image generated using DALL-E 3</figcaption></figure>
Aiming for 7-8 hours of sleep became non-negotiable. Good sleep helped in maintaining high energy levels and sharp focus throughout the day.
