The Philadelphia Police Department’s Crash Investigation Division is investigating a hit-and-run collision that left a teenager in critical condition on Monday afternoon in the city’s 2nd District.
On May 18, 2026, at approximately 2:59 p.m., police responded to a report of an auto-versus-pedestrian crash near the intersection of Cottman Avenue and Horrocks Street. A preliminary investigation revealed that a silver 2011 Jeep Liberty was traveling on Cottman Avenue when it struck a 16-year-old male pedestrian who was crossing at Horrocks Street.
Community supported agriculture (CSA) programs would get increased visibility under legislation passed by the General Assembly today.
Bill A3108, sponsored by Assemblywoman Lisa Swain, would require the Department of Agriculture to develop and implement a statewide publicity and marketing program to increase awareness of CSA programs.
CSAs allow consumers to purchase seasonal subscriptions directly from local farms in exchange for regular shares of fresh produce and other agricultural products.
The bill would require the department to create and maintain a dedicated CSA webpage, promote participating farms and programs statewide, develop promotional labels for farmers, and establish an annual “Community Supported Agriculture Week” during the last full week of February. It would also expand opportunities for schools to participate in CSA programs through the State’s existing Farm to School Program.
Woodbury, NJ – Alba A. Batistini, 28, of West Deptford, was arrested and charged with one count of third-degree possession of child sexual abuse material today, Prosecutor Andrew B. Johns announced.
According to documents filed in this case:
The Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office received tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about an individual uploading child sexual abuse material (CSAM). An investigation led to the execution of a search warrant at Batistini’s residence where electronics were seized. Forensic analysis found 78 images and four videos of CSAM on these devices and an additional two CSAM videos within a cloud-based storage program.
The online casino market in the UK has reached a new level. Retention cannot be viewed as just a CRM concern or a marketing team metric, as Remote Gaming Duty rates will increase drastically from 21% to 40% from April 2026 forward for casino operators. It is now a boardroom consideration because the economics of each bonus, each player’s return, each game, and each pound of gross gaming revenue differ, with higher tax pressure.
The Short VersionVitaDrive Natural Shilajit Gummies are built on a real ingredient story. Shilajit has two peer-reviewed clinical trials behind its energy and testosterone claims, including a 90-day study that showed a 20 percent rise in total testosterone at a clinical dose. The gummy format itself is a defensible choice for daily compliance, but it comes with a real trade-off: gummies typically dose lower than the milligram levels used in those clinical trials, and traditional shilajit resin is still the gold standard for purists. The brand history adds an informed-buying layer, which I cover separately in my VitaDrive Reviews piece. My verdict on the product itself is 7.0 out of 10. Strong enough to recommend with realistic expectations, qualified enough to be honest. Give it the full four to six weeks before you decide whether it works for your body.
A product-focused look at what is in the bottle and whether the format delivers.
People search “VitaDrive Natural Shilajit Gummies review” to find out whether the product works, not whether the company is legit. For brand history, see my VitaDrive Reviews piece. This is the product.
Does the gummy deliver enough shilajit in a usable form for the benefits the ingredient is known for? That breaks into three questions: what is in the bottle, what should it do, and how does the gummy format compare to resin?
Jefferson Health has announced its latest New Jersey recipients of the DAISY Award, an international recognition program that honors nurses for their extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care. Recipients are selected by Jefferson’s Clinical Recognition Committee in New Jersey in order to celebrate team members who go “above and beyond” in delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.
“The compassionate and patient-centered approach of these honorees exemplifies the purpose of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, which recognizes nurses who combine exceptional clinical skill with extraordinary human connection,” said Kim Edson, DNP, MBA, MS, RN, NEA-BC, FACHE, Chief Nursing Officer, Jefferson Health–East Region.
DAISY Award Honorees:
Deborah Dominy, BSN, RN, CCRN, an Intensive Care Unit nurse at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital and a resident of Wenonah, New Jersey, received the DAISY Award after being nominated by a grateful patient who praised her calm presence and attentiveness during a frightening cardiac episode.
According to the nomination, Deborah listened closely to the patient and family, carefully reviewed physician orders, adjusted the patient’s intravenous medication, and helped to stabilize their heart rhythm and significantly improved their physical well-being. She also provided the patient with a copy of their electrocardiogram printout to share with their doctor closer to home. Deborah’s actions left a lasting impact on the patient and family, who described her as someone who saw “a person with a monitor attached, not a monitor with a person attached.”
Jane Dauito, BSN, RN, MEDSURG-BC, an MS-4 Unit nurse at Jefferson Washington Township Hospital and a resident of Vineland, New Jersey, also received the DAISY Award after being recognized by a grateful patient for the compassionate care she provided during a 10-day hospital stay.
The patient shared that Jane consistently informed them about their condition, answered questions with patience, and clarity, and took time to engage thoughtfully with the patient’s daughter throughout the hospitalization. Jane’s attentiveness, positivity, and dedication helped create a supportive environment during a physically and emotionally challenging experience. The nomination highlighted Jane’s ability to combine strong clinical care with meaningful human connection, helping ease anxiety and foster trust throughout the patient’s recovery process.
As part of an international recognition program, DAISY honorees are nominated by patients, family members and colleagues, then selected by Jefferson’s Clinical Recognition Committee in New Jersey following a review of the nominations. The nonprofit DAISY Foundation was established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died in 1999 from complications of an autoimmune disease. For more information, visit www.daisyfoundation.org.

* WHERE…Western Monmouth, Middlesex, Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington Counties.
* WHEN…Until 8 PM EDT Wednesday.
* IMPACTS…Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Record setting high temperatures are quite possible through Wednesday, with maximum heat indices nearing 100 degrees during peak heating each afternoon. Given the intensity of this early season stretch of heat and humidity, we are not acclimated to it yet and therefore impacts could be greater if precautions are not taken. Showers and some thunderstorms arrive later Wednesday afternoon and evening which will break this early season heat.
New Jersey Blood Services (NJBS) is urgently calling on New Jersey residents to donate blood ahead of Memorial Day weekend as the region faces dangerously low blood collections at the start of the summer “trauma season,” one of the most difficult and critical times of year for maintaining the blood supply.
Blood donations are down nearly 15%, representing approximately 4,500 fewer donations than needed to meet hospital demand across the region. The shortfall comes just before Memorial Day weekend, when donations traditionally decline due to travel, vacations, school breaks, and holiday activities. Following a difficult winter season, spring donations have also failed to rebound as expected, and without an immediate increase in donations, the region risks entering blood emergency territory in the weeks ahead.
