(1) "In Peru, presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori 藤森 恵子 [1975- ] campaigns from her motorcade. She lost a 2011 bid but now has a huge lead over her top three rivals, who are polling 10 percent each. Her father, ex-president Alberto Fujimori, has been in jail since 2007 for corruption and death squad killings. Elections are on April 10. -- John Quigley"
My comment:
(a) This is the entire text, above which is a relatively big photo of her, waving to the crowd on the street while standing on a jeep. To the right of this photo are
(i) "33% Support in voter surveys
(ii) an inset (photo) whose caption reads, "Sept 19, 2000 with her father

explains her rise, but I did not read it.

Note:
(a) summary underneath the title in print: Sales of adult incontinence garments in the U.S. could equal those of baby diapers in a decade
(b) The second sentence states, "But the target consumers for one of the company’s latest diaper lines aren’t infants—or even their aged grandparents." However, the rest of the report exclusively uses "adult" ("adults" once), Hence it seems this report is about adult diapers, including those for the elderly.
(c) "As many as 1 in 3 adults—more than 80 percent of them women—have bladder control issues, the Urology Care Foundation says. Causes include pregnancy and childbirth, health conditions such as diabetes and obesity, and changes that accompany aging, according to the Mayo Clinic."
(d)
(i) Women are prone to urinary tract infection (UTI), from urethra 尿道 to ureter 輸尿管. Women's irethra is about 5 cm long, whereas that of men is 20 cm.
(ii) "All women are at risk of cystitis because of their anatomy — specifically, the short distance from the urethra to the anus and the urethral opening to the bladder. * * * Also, because the female urethra is close to the vagina, sexually transmitted infections, such as herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia and mycoplasma, can cause urethritis 尿道炎."
Causes. Mayo Clinic, undated (under the heading "Urinary tract infection (UTI)").
www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-cond ... causes/con-20037892
(iii) Moreover, pregnancy exacerbates women's anatomical pitfalls: the (urinary) bladder 膀胱 is compressed by the uterus, giving a false sense of bladder fullness and the urge to go to bathroom, even absent of UTI.

Note:
(a) summary underneath the title in print: 'Snow smoke' can disable sensors robot vehicles need to navigate
(b) The report does not define "snow smoke," nor can I find it in the Web. The only item (definition or anything else) I can find:
snow banner: "(meteorology) snow being blown from a mountain crest. Also known as snow plume; snow smoke."
McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific & Technical Terms. 6th ed (2003).

, which may not fit here.
(c) Read only the first two paragraphs, and that is enough.
