Suzanne Shaw Opens Up About Mental Health Struggles and Marathon Challenge for Charity
Suzanne Shaw, former Hear’Say star and Emmerdale actress, appeared on ITV1’s Lorraine to discuss her upcoming marathon challenge and her personal battles with anxiety and depression.
The 41-year-old shared her experiences of facing mental health issues during her early days in the spotlight and how it affected her well-being.
Suzanne Shaw’s Mental Health Journey: From Fame to Struggles
Suzanne revealed that her mental health took a toll during her time with the band Hear’Say, which she joined at the age of 19.
Reflecting on that period, she described it as “tough” and recalled experiencing her first major panic attack as a teenager.
She noted that her anxiety and depression seemed to intensify after her rise to fame, attributing it to the overwhelming pressure and burnout she experienced.
Challenges and Isolation: Suzanne’s Battle with Self-Esteem and Relationships
During the interview, Suzanne opened up about the impact her mental health struggles had on her relationships with family and friends.
She expressed that her low self-esteem and self-sabotaging behavior led to a disconnection from loved ones, as it was challenging for them to understand what she was going through.
Suzanne candidly admitted to suffering in silence, feeling hesitant to share her story due to her fame and the perception that she should be grateful.
Turning Point and Sobriety: Overcoming Alcohol and Prioritizing Well-Being
Suzanne shared a pivotal moment that prompted her to make positive changes in her life.
A meeting with Friends star Matthew Perry, while she was under the influence of alcohol, served as a “turning point” for her relationship with drinking.
Recognizing the negative impact alcohol had on her mental health, she made the decision to quit drinking and noticed improvements in her anxiety and depression.
Marathon Challenge for Mental Health: Raising Funds for Mind
In support of mental health awareness, Suzanne discussed her marathon challenge aimed at raising funds for the charity Mind.
She has been training for this endeavor since October and emphasized the importance of physical activity in her well-being journey.
The marathon challenge, documented in the upcoming documentary “Run in 4,” will test Suzanne’s endurance as she aims to complete four ultra-marathons over four consecutive days.
Conclusion: Suzanne Shaw’s interview on Lorraine sheds light on her personal journey with mental health and her determination to raise funds and awareness for Mind through her marathon challenge.
By sharing her story and experiences, she hopes to inspire others facing similar struggles to seek help and support.
Her dedication to both physical and mental well-being serves as an example of resilience and self-care.

OP ED: Coming from a Customs background……just saying this area screams as a conduit for illegal contraband.
Units of the National Border Service (Senafront), through surveillance and verification work, apprehended two Colombian citizens after locating in the Playa Cocal sector in Darién, 15 sacks with 785 packages with alleged illicit substance.
The development of this operation was carried out on the Pacific coast in a sector known as Playa Cocal, which is located 24 nautical miles from the community of Jaqué in the province of Darién.
In addition to the two Colombian citizens apprehended, and the illicit substance seized, a boat of approximately 26 feet with 2 outboard motors was also seized.
“We remain firm in the fight against these criminal organizations, so we do not lower our guard, increasing the response capacity and thus prevent these drugs from reaching our populations,” Senafront said on its Twitter account.
The two foreign citizens were placed under the orders of the Public Ministry.

Does anyone knows where I can read about Google maps no longer providing its map services for location-based apps? I played other such games but had not encountered this change issue.
Just roam and find new beefy spots. I found totally awesome spots, they just are not where they were yesterday.
Unfortunately as was mentioned in the Patch Notes for 19.0 Google has discontinued services for location based games. This means that Our World would be completely unplayable by anyone as there would be no maps to play. This is not a decision that NG had any control over. This also means that the maps will look different as they no longer use Google map points and data.
Thank you for your continued feedback as well as images of what you are experiencing between 18.5 and 19.0. NG will continue to look at feedback from the forums and through Support as they make decisions.
Thank you for your continued feedback.
@paul3009 I am sorry that you misunderstood what I said, so I will clarify it. First NG does not immediately disable previous versions of the app the second that the new version comes out. They allow 2 versions of the game to exist at the same time to give people the time to make the transition as the updated app does not always arrive to every regions App Store at the same time. After a bit of time the old version will be disabled and everyone will have to update to 19.0. Secondly Google has discontinued services for location based games. This does not mean that the second that they say that it is discontinued that it ceases to exist. They give developers a window of time in which to make the transition to alternative services.Thirdly NG is making sure that they transition to new map services ahead of the cut off date in which Google services would no longer work. They want to make sure that everyone has a functioning game and no one wakes up one morning to find a blank screen with no map. I hope this clarifies my earlier response and helps you to understand why your phone that is still using version 18.5 of the game still has a functioning map.

–Just Remember Fieval, One man’s Sunset is another man’s dawn

John Wayne and Hugh Jackman don’t really seem to have much in common apart from the fact that both managed to end their characters in a blaze of bloody glory. The only difference between them, apart from the fact that John Wayne didn’t have adamantium claws, was that for whatever reason Jackman’s end made me cry far more than Wayne’s.
I’m a bad X-Men fan. I don’t have the names of every third mutant memorized. I haven’t watched Days of Future Past, First Class, or Apocalypse. I own at most maybe three X-men comic books and one of them I only own because it was the “first gay wedding” in a comic book. And, for the record, I actually like The Last Stand. That last admission officially makes me worst than Hitler and I will appear brutally memed on Reddit posts everywhere but Kelsey Grammar played Beast, my favorite X-men of all time, and he did a damn good job doing it so I’ll suffer the whips and arrows and scorn of the masses. But for all of my faults I do remember growing up Watching X-Men the animated series. At the time Gambit was my favorite, but over time I loved Beast because he was funny, intelligent, literate,and he looked bad-ass as hell while reading, all traits that I aspired to be one day.
He was also incredibly furry, something I aspired to be and actually managed to achieve.
But beneath all the Beast and Gambit fantasies I had I, like many young boys during the 90s, would on occasion stick three straws between my fingers, make the clinching metal sound, and growl hoping that my pre-pubescent vocal chords would resemble the man who wore the yellow tights.
Wolverine was the shit. He embodied what many young boys recognize as intense masculinity and, to quote Mr. Torgue from Borderlands 2, Badassitude. The only man that managed to have the same level of balls, at least in my world, was John Wayne. I’ve written before about how, growing up, I suffered from allergy problems that left me inside watching movies and playing video games rather than outside playing sports. As such I had to find a way to compensate for my lack of masculinity and the way I managed to do that was watching, and wanting to be, John Wayne. Mom and Dad had a great VHS collection (yes I’m that old, shut up) of films that ranged from Hatari, The Quiet Man, El Dorado, Rio Lobo, Rio Bravo, and Big Jake. Watching those movies John Wayne became a hero to me because, like Wolverine, nobody ever fucked with John Wayne. Or if they did, they tended not to live terribly long.
I suppose that’s why, when I checked out Logan from the library, and spent the last half hour of the film simultaneously crying and pounding my chest, I thought of John Wayne again as I watched a character I had grown up with die. Logan ends with the death of Wolverine much the way The Shootist, the last film John Wayne ever starred in before his death, ends with the death of John Wayne. The reader may wonder what my nostalgia has to do with either of these wonderful movies, but I promise that it’s only ever my long introduction to my actual observation which is that Logan manages to become of the greatest Non-Western Westerns in recent memory following the tradition of The Shootist.
If the reader’s never heard of the film The Shootist premiered in 1976 and as I noted before it was the last film John Wayne ever starred in. Based on the novel by Glendon Swarthout, the story relates the final days of a gunslinger named J.B. Books as he is beginning to die from cancer. He rents a room from a widow named Bond Rogers (played by Lauren Bacall my teenage crush) and takes up with her son Gillom (played by a then young and pre-balding Ron Howard). Books finds a life with the Rogers’s, trying to recognize the end of his life, but figures from his past who want to kill him either out of revenge or notoriety force him to make one last final stand and prove his mettle as the great gunslinger. The film ends with a shootout in a saloon that sees Books overcome every one of his adversaries, and leave Gillom with a few lessons about being a man.
The film from afar has all the elements of a Western: the importance of talent with firearms, the lone figure who’s name manages to outshine his own ego and individuality, a female protagonist who is largely there to further the man’s character development, the young man eager to become a gunslinger, and of course Jimmy Stewart. But what’s different about The Shootist is the way all the laments of the Western are eventually forgotten because film is far more about the character of John Wayne dying than the end of the Western. In one notable scene Books is talking with a sheriff who is visibly terrified to be in the same room with him:
Carson City Marshal Walter Thibido: Now, I checked my bulletins before I come over and didn’t find nothing I can hold you for, but I want you out of town – directly, today.
John Bernard Books: Maybe I’m not so inclined.
Carson City Marshal Walter Thibido: The, by God, I will incline you. I can badge as many men as I need. We’ll smoke you out or carry you out feet first, so you say which, Mr. Gunman. It’s your funeral.
John Bernard Books: Soon, yes.
John Bernard Books: I can’t go.
John Bernard Books: I’m going to die right here in this room.
Carson City Marshal Walter Thibido: Heh! That’s too thin.
John Bernard Books: I wish you were right. Would you believe Doc Hostetler? That’s his verdict.
Carson City Marshal Walter Thibido: You don’t say? You don’t sa – goddamn! Whoo! Whooee! I tell you the damn truth, when I come through that door, I was scared. ‘Cause I know what a man like you is capable of. I wondered who’d get my job, if the council would give my wife a pension and if it would snow the day they put me under. Whooee! Excuse me if I don’t pull a long face. I can’t.
Books as a man, or really as an idea, is synonymous with death and death follows Brooks throughout the film, starting with his first visit to the doctor. Stewart gives him his diagnosis and then offers some parting advice:
Dr. E.W. Hostetler: There – there’s one more thing I’d say. Both of us have had a lot to do with death. I’m not a brave man, but you must be. Now, now, now, this is not advice. It’s not even a suggestion. It’s just something for you to reflect on while your mind’s still clear.
John Bernard Books: What?
Dr. E.W. Hostetler: I would not die a death like I just described.
John Bernard Books: No?
Dr. E.W. Hostetler: Not if I had your courage.
As a film The Shootist is often plagued by this dual nature, for while there are plenty of elements about the eventual death of the character of J.B. Books, the viewer watching the film will be caught constantly by the fact that the movie is largely about the death of the character of John Wayne and so almost every dramatic scene becomes a kind of nostalgic farewell to Wayne himself. If the reader has no background with Wayne it’s likely that they’ll be able to separate themselves from this nostalgia and just appreciate the film as a film. But it is this nostalgia that I want to focus on because nostalgia is partly what fuels the counterpart of this essay, Logan. Both movies rely on the reader’s previous knowledge of the characters and the events which lead them to that place.
Watching Logan I was struck by how similar it was to The Shootist. The film takes place on the Mexican border, which by that nature already sets it up as a pseudo-western. When the viewer finds Logan they no longer observe a virile, leather-clad young man, but an old and slowly dying Wolverine. The adamantium in his body is killing him and his healing factor is doing nothing to stop it. At the same time he’s dying, Professor Charles Xavier is revealed to still be alive and suffering from a kind of Alzheimer’s disease which causes massive mental episodes defined by seizures which affect the people around him. It’s been revealed that such an event killed several dozens of the students at the school and the man is continually plagued by the guilt. Both men are watching their lives steadily fester away until a young woman appears in their life who appears to be the first mutant born in close to several decades. She’s a young girl named Laura who’s been part of a secret government program designed to create mutant soldiers. The story follows the three of them as they try to escape the soldiers and scientists trying to capture Laura before ending with a large gunfight.
It’d be easy to go through and demonstrate point-by-point how Logan mirrors The Shootist, the most obvious being that Logan’s claws are essentially Wayne’s six shooter, but really the unifying element of these movies is the death of these characters and the relationships they form with the children in the film who become symbolic or actual children. It’s this dynamic that’s perhaps so powerful about both films because they manage to tell a story about the end of the “old guards” in a way that doesn’t feel obvious or fake.
J.B. Books and Gillom establish a pseudo father-son relationship and in the film Books has plenty of opportunities to show the young man what masculinity is and how one can attain it. In one scene Books has offered Gillom a shooting lesson and afterwards he offers some wisdom about integrity:
Gillom Rogers: [Books has just given Gillom a shooting lesson] But how could you get into so many fights and always come out on top? I nearly tied you shooting.
John Bernard Books: Friend, there’s nobody up there shooting back at you. It isn’t always being fast or even accurate that counts. It’s being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren’t willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won’t.
Likewise Logan and Laura have similar exchange:
Laura: You had a nightmare.
Logan: Do you have nightmares?
Laura: Si. People hurt me.
Logan: Mine are different.
Laura: Por que?
Logan: I hurt people.
Laura: [holds up the adamantium bullet] Que es esto?
Logan: You know what it is. It’s made out of adamantium. That’s what they put inside of us. That’s why it can kill us. Probably what’s killing me now. That was a long time ago. I kept it as a reminder of what I am. Now I keep it to, uh… actually I, uh… I was thinking of shooting myself with it. Like Charles said.
Laura: I’ve hurt people too.
Logan: You’re gonna have to learn how to live with that.
Laura: They were bad people.
Logan: All the same…
Logan and the Shootist are both films about violent men, men who have made a life by surviving through regular violent acts and it’s important to note that both films address this matter and in their own way they manage to demonstrate the complicated nature of said violence. Specifically both films address the issue that violence will only ever spawn more violence.
When you’re a little boy, or a teenager dealing with the bullshit of puberty and hormones, you don’t think so much about the death that takes place because of your heroes. You don’t, or at least I didn’t, recognize the death of the endless series of cowboys and government agents, as tragedies. tHey weren’t even really people. They were nameless, soulless figures trying to stop my power icons from succeeding and taking care of “the good people,” which were usually family and friends of the hero. Boys tend, to borrow a memorable line from a friend of mine, gravitate to power icons, and the Western as a genre only further demonstrates that this tradition is timeless.
West of Everything: The Inner Life of Westerns by Jane Tompkins is a book that I have returned to over and over again because it consistently offers up a great insight into films and books that I have read and enjoyed. It also doesn’t hurt that, unlike most academic books I’ve read, Tompkins book is not readable, it’s actually fun to read. When I had finished Logan, and thought back to The Shootist, I thought of West of Everything, because a few of Tompkin’s quotes and pressed indelibly into my memory. The most obvious ones being about death.
Tompkins book is an examination of Westerns as a result of Sentimental novels which tended to be written by women. Arguing that men began writing Westerns as a reaction to women, she’s able to point out an important feature which is that Westerns tend to be, above all things, death.
In Westerns, facing death and doing something with your life become one and the same thing. For once you no longer believe you are eternal spirit, risking your life becomes the supreme form of heroism, the bravest thing a person can do. (31).
There was never any threat of Wolverine or John Wayne dying. Even when it seemed impossible that they would beat whoever the bad guy was, they always managed to overcome the villain and, using their phallic weapons (let’s be real here) destroy everyone in sight. That’s largely why The Shootist and Logan feel like real Westerns to me because by the end of the film their death is almost certain. Even if they hadn’t died their name or spirit would and the hero they had become would diminish significantly.
But Tompkins gets to the core of this idea in an earlier passage when she notes the real severity of death in Westerns:
Death brings dignity and meaning as well as horror, and its terrifying presence in the long runs comforts and reassures. For death is the great escape, as well as that from which one longs to be delivered. (27).
And just a page after Tompkins offers the ultimate summation:
For the Western is secular, materialist, and antifeminist; it focuses on conflict in the public space, is obsessed by death, and worships the phallus. Notably, this kind of explanation does not try to account for the most salient fact about the Western—that it is a narrative of Male Violence—for, having been formed by the Western, that is what such explanations already take for granted. (28).
It’s a depressing thought that violence is what attracts you boys and young developing men to characters like Wolverine and maybe John Wayne, but growing up there is often a sensation of powerlessness. Growing up I had little real agency: my parents picked my clothes, what school I went to, what my bed-time was, and teachers and administrators controlled every second of everyday of my life for twelve years. Characters like Wolverine and John Wayne were controlled by no-one and if anyone tried to tell them how to live their life they would be either sliced or shot. There was something appealing then in gravitating towards that character, or mimicking some aspects of their behavior.
What’s fascinating about growing up is that, while I haven’t completely dropped my love for these characters, I’m now able to appreciate the nuances of their characters. The violence isn’t what’s appealing anymore. What’s appealing is how real a character’s presentation is. What are their faults and how do they account for them. And do they try, as I do on a regular basis, try to understand their mortality.
Nostalgia is what will probably win so many over to films like The Shootist and Logan, and while there’s nothing wrong with this the reader should take the time to consider their appreciation for these films. While on the one hand Logan is a beautiful tribute to the Logan character that Hugh Jackman has spent over a decade playing, watching the film as an examination of male violence adds another dimension to the film. The character achieves a kind of catharsis for all of the violence he has committed over the course of his life. Likewise in The Shootist, Books/Wayne is able to have one last hurrah in a bloody gun fight that, while on the one hand is a goodbye to the Wayne character, is also a final goodbye to a life that was defined by its violence.
Violence will only ever beget more violence, and while these men offered me a power totem that I relished in my youth, I’ve gotten older and the concept of violence has become more and more repulsive. These characters still mean something to me, but rather than simply try for one last gun-fight for the sake of a gun-fight, Logan at least, far more than The Shootist I would argue, offers the reader something far more important: a chance for a man to do right by his daughter.
Part of growing up is not forgetting who you were, but improving from what you were. I still love watching John Wayne movies, and I do still, on occasion, grab three chop sticks and tuck them between my fingers to make the metallic click sound. And, I’ll be honest here, I can’t wait to show my kids the X-Men cartoons and Rio Bravo. But looking at both of these films, what most beautiful to me is that, rather than simply use nostalgia to make a few bucks, both films offer two characters who have meant a great deal to me reach the end of their paths in a way that honors the characters I spent so much time idolizing, while offering them a depth of the character that isn’t shallow.
The hero doesn’t ride off into the sunset, but a new dawn promises the next generation a hero that will be entirely their own.
All quotes taken from Logan and The Shootist were provided care of IMDb. All quotes from West of Everything: The Inner life of Westerns were taken from the Hardback Oxford edition.
I’ve provided a link below to another blogger who offers an interesting interpretation about the film Logan, noting specifically how the elements of race and feminist masculinity are largely unexplored within the film. Even if you don’t agree with the interpretation, it’s still a pretty solid argument. Enjoy:

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has revealed he is working on a resolution to add bitcoin to the city’s balance sheet, and pointed out that Tesla’s announcement on buying bitcoin was “very helpful” in making his decision.
The news came responding to cryptocurrency influencer Anthony Pompliano, who wrote that the “race is on to see what municipality is going to be the first to put bitcoin on their balance sheet” after responding to news of Tesla’s $1.5 billion bitcoin investment.
Responding to Pompliano, Mayor Suarez revealed he’s working on a resolution that’s set to be addressed at a city commission meeting on Thursday, February 11, and hinted Amazon could be next in adopting BTC.
Whether the resolution will gain any traction is unclear, but as Bloomberg reports the move is the first concrete step in Miami’s path to becoming more cryptocurrency-friendly. Suarez has in the past hinted the city will allow for specific types of BTC transactions.
Earlier this year, Mayor Francis Suarez revealed he was open to exploring allocating 1% of the city’s treasury reserves into bitcoin. The allocation, according to available data, would be significantly smaller than the investments several firms have made into bitcoin last year.
MicroStrategy, for example, has bought over $1 billion worth of BTC, while Tesla invested $1.5 billion into the cryptocurrency. Nevertheless, it shows adoptions for the cryptocurrency is still growing and further legitimizes BTC as an asset.
In January, a user asked mayor Francis Suarez to let citizens pay for city services in the flagship cryptocurrency “as a start.” In response, Suarez said the city will be “definitely” working on that this year.

How stress impacts your immunity – and how to chill out!
For most of us, stress is just a part of life. It can last for a few hours — like the time leading up to a final exam — or for years — like when you’re taking care of an ailing loved one.
Stress is sometimes a motivator that helps you rise to the occasion. At other times, it’s simply overwhelming. Whatever the case, if it’s chronic, it can take a toll on your immune system.
With our current situation in the world we are all, whether we know it or not, experiencing rises in stress level, which means higher cortisol levels in our body. For many these days this rise in cortisol is beginning to take a toll.
If we don’t control high stress levels, chronic inflammation can accompany it and can contribute to the development and progression of many diseases of the immune system such as:
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Under sustained, long-term stress, you also can develop cardiovascular problems, including a fast heart rate and heart disease, as well as gastric ulcers. You’ll also be at greater risk for type 2 diabetes, various cancers as well as mental decline, lack of focus, depression, and anxiety.
WOW! Sound fun?
Here are a few ways to begin to reduce the stress levels in our bodies.
Being mindful - just being aware and mindful of where we are feeling stress or even that we ARE experiencing tension in our bodies is a start.
Deep breathing. Breath work can lower cortisol levels in an instant. Breath in deeply so you are feeling it all the way into your diaphragm, hold it for a few seconds and blow it out. Some people combine this with mindfulness, thinking of something positive as you are breathing in then while breathing out, think of the stress leaving your body.
Chiropractic care - we do not realize how tension can cause misalignments in our spine which in turn cause impeded nerve flow to our organs, not allowing us to function optimally. Getting a chiropractic check up during times of stress is vital!
Massage Therapy - a great way to release muscle tension and stress! We recommend once a month massages during times of increased stress.
NATURE!! Take a walk in nature breath in the sunshine (vitamin D!) and be mindful of what you see, be fully present to the experience. Lowers cortisol levels and increases vitamin D levels!
Supplements - if you are really struggling with stress and can't seem to get back to yourself, you may want to get a complete nutritional scan. Call our office for a free 15 minute consultation to determine if this should be your next step!

During my last few days in Switzerland, snow started to fall closer to Zurich and my sister and I took a drive into the hills in search of photo opportunities. Living in South Africa, we are not exposed to a whole lot of snow and I have never walked in, touched or played in proper snow. I was in such awe! It was the highlight of my trip and a supreme delight to experience real snow for the first time in my life. The stunning beauty and silence of it on the one hand and the uncomplicated fun on the other hand - nature truly is wonderful. Now for the first time do I understand the obsession people have with skiing and snowboarding - it must be absolutely awesome!

When we travelled from Zurich to Lugano, we took the Gotthard Road Tunnel which, at 16km, is the third longest road tunnel in the world. This tunnel provides a much faster link between central Switzerland and Milan than the Gotthard pass.
On the way back though, we decided to take the Gotthard Pass instead as it promised to be a beautiful drive through the Swiss Alps. Not being a huge fan of heights and feeling a little weary of slippery icy roads, I was not too sure how much I would enjoy the excursion, but it was worth every nail I chewed off!

After a day and a half around Lake Lugano, we decided to cross the border to Italy and explore Lake Como. One of the reasons that Lake Como is so famous is that George Clooney owns a house here. Unfortunately I didn't get to see either George or his house - next time girls ;)
Wednesday, November 4, 2009
So after a few days in and around Zurich, we took a drive to the south of Switzerland where we stayed in a tiny village called Carona high up in the hills surrounding Lake Lugano. My sister told me that we would be entering the Italian part of Switzerland, but I didn't realise just how Italian it would be! Suddenly all you hear is Italian, all you see is Italian, and all you eat is Italian (yum ). The architecture is also completely different and so many beautiful textures and colours - I was in photographer's heaven!

The Giants have had an eye on Alfonso Soriano only to be pooh-poohed twice. Before the 2007 season, the Giants were prepared to hand a nine-figure contract to Soriano after he collected 46 homers and 41 steals with the Nationals, becoming the fourth member of the 40-40 club. With Barry Bonds entering what would become his final season, the Giants wanted a new big bopper and also were willing to give big dough to Carlos Lee or Manny Ramirez. But Soriano, like the others, preferred to play elsewhere. He accepted $136 million from the Cubs, and the Giants used their money to sign Barry Zito.

A culturally subverted trade fair
Architectural Association 2014-15, Intermediate 7, Tutor: M. Fedorchenko
Triggered by Berlin’s radical transformation through profit oriented forces since the reunification, this project is an architectural response to commercial influence on architecture and the city, a culturally subverted trade fair for architecture.
Using the ICC as a host, a cultural artifact for Berlin’s collective memory, but exactly at the threshold to commerce, the project uses the existing as backbone for an exchange between architecture and commerce.
Acting as urban laboratory, the newly created institution is not only an exposition of the current condition, but an exploration and experience of the architectural potentiality of todays inevitable invasion of commerce in architecture’s domain.
Rethinking the pure focus on profit, the change to an architectural perspective allows to identify potentiality for an architectural response that does not only regain architectural control, but even creates additional value for the city, transforming the city’s fate into its future.

Anyone know the status of a movie called 'Africa Shakes'? This apparently featured Brian Poole and The Tremeloes, probably filmed during their 1964 world tour, despite the movie not being released until 1966.
So it presumably exists in an archive somewhere in South Africa at least. Maybe the organisers of that event could provide more info if you wanted to pursue it further.
Friday 16 September 2016 (18:30) – Film screening African Shakes (Basil Mailer): Filmed in 1965 and aimed at the ‘teenage’ audience, ‘Africa Shakes’ was a sometimes cringe-inducing attempt to replicate the Beatles ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ in a South African setting. However, with the benefit of fifty years’ hindsight, the film can now be savoured as a rare, pre-television era document of the local music scene, both white and African. Although ‘starring’ a second-rate British ‘beat band’, Bill Kimber & The Couriers, the film includes unique cameo appearances by Ben Nkosi, Reggie Msomi, Dana Valery, Lemmy Special Mabaso, Sharon Tandy, Abigail Kubeka (backed by Peter Mokonotela, Gideon Nxumalo, Chooks Tshukudu and Early Mabuza), Brian Poole & the Tremeloes (from the UK), Una Valli, Cy Sacks and George Hayden.
Correction: Thanks to an email from Richard Laws we can correct this as follows: "We wrapped the film on my 18th birthday, May 15, 1964 (not, as is stated, in 1965), so to say that it was an attempt to somehow emulate "A Hard Days Night" would be incorrect. The two films were shot at approximately the same time. As the Couriers, we couldn't have seen The Beatles film until its release in London in July, 1964."

WASHINGTON – Congressional Democrats are urging the White House to extend the freeze on student loan repayments and the president to write off up to $ 50,000 of student debt, but so far the administration is not budging.
The standoff is one of the most egregious divisions between President Joe Biden and members of his party, who are exerting intense pressure to provide more relief to borrowers as the expiration of the pandemic-era freeze approaches. .
Stephen Graves, director of undergraduate studies at the University of Missouri Department of Black Studies, said in an interview that African-American students will be the hardest hit by the end of the freeze, warning that it could affect adult participation. youth at the polls in 2022.
GET MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED IN YOUR INBOX
“Many black students generally end up with college degrees or majors, or take jobs that are less likely to allow them to pay off those student loans,” he said.
During a recent press conference, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that the Biden administration has not directed the Department of Education to continue the pause in student loan payments, which ends on the 31st. from January.
Psaki said President Joe Biden supports a cancellation of student debt of $ 10,000 per borrower, if approved by Congress.
“If Congress sends him a bill, he will be happy to sign it,” he said. “They haven’t sent you an invoice yet.”
At the beginning of the pandemic, in March 2020, the Trump administration issued an emergency pause on student loan payments. Both the Trump and Biden administrations expanded it. The pandemic is still ongoing and the US has just surpassed 800,000 deaths due to the coronavirus.
Senate Democrats are now urging Biden to use his executive privilege to write off up to $ 50,000 in student loan debt.
“There have been questions and questions about what executive authorities could be used; that has been under review, ”Psaki said Tuesday. “I have nothing to report on that at this time.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, told the Senate floor that congressional approval is not necessary and that Democrats themselves lack votes to pass legislation to cancel the debt. student.
In an evenly divided Senate, Democrats would need all members of their party to line up, along with 10 Republicans, because of the current obstructionist Senate rules.
It’s about taking a simple, common-sense step to save people’s costs.
– Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
“It is about taking a simple step and with common sense to save costs for people; it’s about racial equity; and it’s about giving people more opportunities to build wealth and achieve the American dream, and the administration can do it on its own, ”said Schumer.
The Federal Reserve Dear that total US student loan debt exceeds $ 1.75 trillion. The Department of Education owns about 92% of that student loan debt, which is why Democrats argue that Biden has the authority to eliminate student debt through an executive order.
Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia, along with 13 Senate Democrats, sent a letter to Biden, arguing that the country is still in a state of national emergency due to the pandemic and that the administration should extend the freeze.
“The United States Department of Education … notes that the waiver of student loan interest is saving borrowers an additional $ 5 billion each month,” they wrote in the letter. “This is money that is now available for housing, food and other daily necessities to help borrowers support themselves, their families and their communities during this pandemic.”
Other senators who signed include Ron Wyden from Oregon, Cory Booker from New Jersey, Sherrod Brown from Ohio, Tina Smith from Minnesota, Chris Van Hollen from Maryland, and Tammy Baldwin from Wisconsin, among others.
Some loan forgiveness
The Biden administration has forgiven up to $ 11.5 billion in loans for nearly 600,000 borrowers.
However, that forgiveness only applies to borrowers in specific circumstances: those who have permanent disabilities, who attended schools that are is no longer in operation or public service workers.
During a town hall in Wisconsin in February, Biden made clear that he did not support canceling up to $ 50,000 per student borrower and said he only supported a cancellation of $ 10,000 by Congress.
in a letter to Biden, the Student Borrower Protection Center – a student loan advocacy group – along with 200 organizations lobbied for immediate student debt relief.
“It is critical that his administration continues to deliver on the promises it made to student loan borrowers and their families before ending the pause in payments and collections, ”according to the letter.
“Borrowers need immediate relief from the overwhelming burden of massive student loan debt as the pandemic exacerbates financial stress for all Americans and highlights existing racial disparities in wealth and educational attainment. “
A view of the Norlin Library on the University of Colorado Boulder campus, as seen on August 14, 2021. (Quentin Young / Colorado Newsline)
The organizations noted that “the burden of student debt and the costs of our failed student loan system falls disproportionately on African American borrowers.”
The Brookings Institution, a left-wing think tank, reported in 2016 that, on average, black students who graduated owed $ 7,400 more than white, Asian and Latino students who graduated at the same time.
Fight for reimbursement
Graves said black borrowers take on larger amounts of student debt, probably more than other groups, and struggle with repayment.
Even with the pause in student loan payments over the past two years, black borrowers are unlikely to benefit as much as white borrowers, he said.
“Not having to pay off those student loans in recent years has allowed them some kind of flexibility, of course, but unfortunately that happened during the COVID era so there have been more layoffs and job losses and blacks are most likely they have laborious jobs that do not allow them to work from home, “he said.
He added that young voters will not be motivated to vote Democrats if campaign promises, such as reforming student loan debt, are not kept.
“You went out on a student loan debt forgiveness platform,” Graves said of Biden. “You came out on the student loan forgiveness platform and then of course then you reneged and then you lied about it and you didn’t. Young people are going to remember these things. “
In October 2020, during a town hall in Miami, Biden said that “I will eliminate your student debt if you come from a family (earn less than $ 125,000) and you went to a public university ”, according to Black Enterprise.
Biden then added that, “I will make sure everyone receives $ 10,000 of their student debt.” From biden campaign platform called for free public college tuition for those making less than $ 125,000 and other initiatives.
Graves added that many of the policies Democrats are pushing do not help young voters, but rather benefit middle-class white voters, such as the expanded child tax credit and paternity leave.
“Things like the child tax credit are doing nothing for young Democrats,” he said, “Young people don’t have children. We cannot afford to have children. “

Ok, so these last couple weeks have been super rough and to be honest it is probably not gonna improve for at least a couple weeks more. That being said I have this amazing group of friends that have become my family. After coming home from work and sobbing and blubbering to Hubbin (who was f*%#ing amazing by the way) I immediately contacted my friends...who in all honesty are not my friends, they are my family and boy did they come through and help pull me out of my funk. Being of the literary minded I was eventually led to think of all of the awesome friendships in my beloved books (who also work as friends and family lol). Here are some friendships that I feel bring the vibe that I have with my peeps.
Samwise Gamgeee - After mentioning this one to Hubbin, he made the point that I really did not need to look any further, and he is probably right. Sam from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series, embodies true friendship to the point of family. He takes his duties as Frodo's best friend very seriously. He keeps Frodo fed, clothed and in all honesty grounded in reality. I still maintain without Sam, Frodo would have perished...or at least given up very early on. This guy embodies everything one looks for in a true best friend. Loyalty, helpfulness, intelligence, resourcefulness...seriously this guy is the ultimate best friend!
Jill and Eustace - At the outset this mismatched pair from C.S. Lewis Silver Chair don't seem like friends at all. Over the course of the book however the two learn to not only work together, but to trust each other in a way that ensures an enduring life long friendship. This friendship is proven in later books as the pair are brought back the to magical world of Narnia once again to help it. This is a case of circumstances leading to the choice of becoming mortal enemies or best of friends and these two decide on the bond of friendship, much to their mutual benefit.
A Through L - After being brought to a world of pure awesomeness, our favorite heroine, September meets up with the wavery A-L and forms a lifelong friendship that can never end. Through out the series we see just how tight these two are and just how valuable the friendship is. This is a case of truly mutual beneficial a friendship can be, as both parties rely on each other, help each other, depend on each other and come through for each other no matter the situation. Even though both parties meet other entities the truest friendship is with each other and that is awesome.
Piemur - This lovable scamp is the friend that all of need. When Menolly arrives friendless, familyless and pretty much nothingless (that's a word right?), this guy steps right in. Through his cleverness and ability to manipulate almost anybody, Piemur helps Menolly go from a friendless oddity to one of the most valued members of Harper Hall. This friendship continues as both parties grow older. This is a friendship that is shared until death, this is a friendship that causes children to call them auntie and uncle, this is a friendship that can never end as it is so tight that the bonds of family and friend are irrevocably blurred.
The Hogwarts Trinity - We can't really mention bestest friends without mentioning Harry, Ron and Hermione. This trio's ability to maintain the tightest of friendships regardless of insane circumstances is utterly amazing. I kind of feel like my firehouse family has a bond like this...given a bit expanded as there are more then 3, but still a super tight bond that is able to endure hardships, squabbles, boy/girl troubles and pretty much anything else life has to throw at us. The author imagines this trio enduring well into adulthood and beyond and to be honest my boys and girls are there for me in the same way. It is nice to know that friendships like this are real.
Ok, I'm done gushing now, but seriously I feel that friendship is very important, in both a real and literary sense. I am always rooting for the friends, I always want the friendship to endure and a large part of this is my amazing luck at having people like this in my own life. My boys and girls who get me through this sh*t...you know who your are ( I know at least two of you read this on at least a semi-regular basis lol). I love you all so very much and am glad to have these legendary friends in my life. Happy Reading Everybody!

Leo Messi has been banned for four matches after Fifa received a complaint about Leo Messi’s behavior during Argentina’s World Cup qualifying match against Chile. The player has been banned for four matches, starting with tonight's match against Bolivia.
Messi banned for four games
Messi has been hit with the four game suspension after launching a foul mouthed rant against the linesman during his side’s 1-0 victory. The match referee, Sandro Ricci, initially did not mention the incident in his match report but later extended it to include Messi’s insults towards his assistant.
At the end of the encounter, Messi harangued the linesman and refused to shake his hand. Television cameras picked up some of Messi’s words, which were far from flattering.
Games Messi will miss
Pending any appeal, Messi will miss the games against Bolivia this evening, Uruguay away on 31 August, Venezuela at home on 5 September and Peru at home on 5 October. He will be back for the final qualifying game away to Ecuador on 10 October.
Text of Fifa statement:
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee – in application of articles 77 a) and 108 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code (FDC) – has reached a decision in relation to the case of Argentinian footballer Lionel Messi following an incident that occurred during the match between Argentina and Chile on 23 March 2017 as part of the qualifying competition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™:
Footballer Lionel Messi has been found guilty of violating art. 57 of the FDC for having directed insulting words at an assistant referee.
As a result, Lionel Messi will be suspended for four official matches and sanctioned with a fine of CHF 10,000. The first match for which the sanction will apply is the next fixture in the preliminary competition of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ between Bolivia and Argentina, which will be played today, 28 March. The remainder of the sanction will be served over Argentina’s subsequent FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.
This decision is in line with the FIFA Disciplinary Committee’s previous rulings in similar cases.
Both the player and the Argentinian Football Association have been informed of the decision today.

After a long battle to decriminalize pinball game in Kokomo Indiana, the ban was finally lifted in December 2016–a real Christmas gift for pinheads in the city.
The last time pinball was legally played in Kokomo was in 1955. After more than half a century, on December 13, 2016 the city mayor finally abolished the 61-year old law that prohibits the game in the area. Mayor Greg Goodnight signed the document repealing the old ordinance atop a Flying Aces pinball machine in one of the record stores in the city.
Although the game was banned for over 6 decades, in practice, the ordinance was forgotten and was not enforced in recent years. Indeed, some proprietors were surprised that they’re offering pinball illegally.
In another article, Pinball sales related the rather unpopular history of pinball when it was dubbed as a source of vice and immorality. In the 50’s pinball was banned in many cities in the US in fear that it lead the youth astray and alleging that it funds mobsters.
As part of the city’s effort to purge old ordinances and obscure regulation, Pinball is now finally legal in Kokomo.

I am going to look for a slightly bigger bag tomorrow. Why? Because I want to make sure I am never without the following two books. Part of the problem I have with implementing skills useful to me from DBT is that I never have the tools to do it spur of the moment. Two of those skills are art and writing. Sooo..
Sketch book: To draw, doodle, scribble, or whatever.
Journal: Long entries, short entries, angry tyraids, positive words.
These are two very powerful DBT tools/skills for me. I hope to implement them a lot more!

Achieving high vaccination rates is important for overcoming an epidemic. This study investigates the association between religious faith and intentions to become vaccinated against COVID-19 in Israel and Japan. Most of Israel’s population is monotheistic, whereas most Japanese are unaffiliated with any religion. Therefore, our findings might be applicable to various countries that differ in their religions and levels of religiosity. We conducted almost identical large-scale surveys four times in Israel and five times in Japan from March to June 2020 to obtain panel data. We found that intentions of getting vaccinated depend on people’s level of religiosity in a non-linear way. Those who have strong religious beliefs are less likely to become vaccinated than those who say they are less religious. Two other factors that play a role in this relationship are religious denomination in Israel and identifying with a religion in Japan.

A post carnival was organized at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, this year for the 6th time, for the children and adults having a cochlear implant or a middle ear implant. Participants arrived from all over the country to attend this event, which provided a great opportunity for those as well, who are currently waiting for an operation in order to receive a cochlear implant. This way they had the chance to ask their questions from professionals.
The event was opened by Dr. László Tamás, Director of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, who – after his welcoming words – held a presentation about the recent changes that have been taken place at the clinic. Dr. Tamás highlighted that the objectives planned for 2016 were all accomplished. Two modern wards equipped with two beds, a separate bathroom, a TV set and air conditioning were implemented for the patients who are having an ear implant for the sake of their quick recovery after the operation. The windows of the department are currently being replaced, and a modern lift has been recently added as well.
“The number of visitors who participate in the post carnival event increases every year. This year there were 140 visitors, the room was completely full. In Hungary approximately 130 cochlear implant operations are being carried out every year: two-thirds of the patients are children and one-third of them are adults. From the point of view of a child’s development it is highly important to diagnose hearing impairment at an early stage. According to the Hungarian consensus the optimal age for an implant operation for children is between the ages of 1-2, but maximum until the age of 5. We aim at providing every hearing impaired child with the required implant in time so that they can live a fulfilling life.”, said Dr. Marianna Küstel, associate professor.
During the post carnival event the organizers were waiting for the participants with various programmes such as fancy dress competition, tombola and face painting.
The realization of the programme was supported by Dr. István Simicskó, Minister of Defence, by the Ministry of Defence Military Chaplain Service, Catholic Military Bishopric, as well as by Cochlear and MedEl.

Aleksandar Vucic is the president of all Serbs and should create a “Serb world” in the region, Serbian Defence Minister Aleksandar Vulin said on Saturday, adding that Serbs should stop apologising for the idea of a “Greater Serbia.”
„If we had the courage to draw up and declare where we live in the two former Yugoslavias, we would not be talking about this today. But we didn’t have that courage, and the great powers never allowed the Serbs to unite,“ Vulin told TV Prva.
Serbs across the region should make joint political decisions on important issues and they have „apologized for Greater Serbia“ enough, he said, commenting that a territorially united Germany does not seem to be a problem for anyone, but that politically united Serbs do.
The minister said he is not interfering in the internal affairs of neighbouring countries and asked argued that at the same time “Montenegro threatens to ban the Serbian Orthodox Church” and “North Macedonia builds its church on the foundations of the Serbian Orthodox Church.“
When asked whether he is afraid of potential consequences to his statements, Vulin asked reporters to tell him whether anything he said is untrue.

Initiated by the Attorney General in the fall of 2019, Project Guardian draws upon the Department’s past successful programs to reduce gun violence; enhances coordination of federal, state, local and tribal authorities in investigating and prosecuting gun crimes; improves information sharing by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives when a prohibited individual attempts to purchase a firearm and is denied by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), to include taking appropriate actions when a prospective purchaser is denied by the NICS for mental health reasons; and ensured that federal resources are directed at the criminals posing the greatest threat to our communities.

Women's Group Forms to Oppose McDonnell
A new state political action committee called Working Women for Virginia recently formed to oppose Republican Bob McDonnell's views in his race for governor against Democrat Creigh Deeds.
The group is trying to raise enough money to air a TV ad in Northern Virginia during the last week of the election, said Margie Omero, a Democratic pollster who helped form the group.
The group registered with the state two weeks ago, according to the Virginia Public Access Project. It has raised $1,600 in the last day through word of mouth, social networking and online advertising.
"Whatever we raise will be used solely to spread the word about McDonnell's extreme views on women,'' Omero said.
"I don't think the prospect of more false, divisive and backwards-looking attack ads from Deeds and his national Democratic allies will please Virginians who are roundly rejecting one of the most negative campaigns in the commonwealth's political history,'' said Tucker Martin, McDonnell's spokesman.

Widows - The Complete Series DVD
They vowed to finish the job that killed their husbands - robbing the richest security van in England. [Video] [Australia]A gritty crime series with strong female lead characters and the career breakthrough which started Lynda La Plante on her path as one of television's highest profile writers, Widows was a smash hit for ITV and has now been adapted into a major motion picture by acclaimed director Steve McQueen. Both series of Widows are presented here as brand-new restorations from the original film materials.


Dr Lewis-Peacock is passionate about understanding how human memory works. His research uses a combination of behavioural methods, functional neuroimaging, and computational approaches to study how people think, remember, and act. The Lewis-Peacock Lab at UT Austin specialises in applying machine learning algorithms to neuroimaging data in order to identify what an individual is thinking about from one moment to the next. Dr Lewis-Peacock uses this to evaluate core assumptions about the cognitive and neural bases of learning and memory. The broad goals of his research are (1) to observe how people control the flow of their thoughts, (2) to characterise the short-term and long-term consequences of these control processes, and (3) to identify opportunities for people to make better use of their mental capacities to remember things that ought to be remembered and to forget things that ought to be forgotten.

‘Emma’ at Chicago Shakespeare Theater: Sans reason or accountability (or poetry or music)
Review: “Emma,” a musical by Paul Gordon, after Jane Austen’s novel. At Chicago Shakespeare Theater through March 15. ★★
By Lawrence B. Johnson
Imagine the sharp, slashing repartee between Beatrice and Benedick, in Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” if Beatrice brought no intellectual edge to the fray, and you have the eponymous figure in “Emma,” the mildly diverting, perfectly harmless and utterly forgettable musical in mid-flight at Chicago Shakespeare Theater.
The most dismissive phrase I can muster for such a display of vacuous charm is that it’s a cute show. I’ll give it that; tedious almost to the crushing point, but cute. Sondheim it is not. More like Paul Simon’s “all right in sort of a limited way for an off night.”
“Emma,” based on Jane Austen’s book by the same title, is the latest of many retellings of this story about a vain, headstrong and privileged young woman who imagines herself to be a gifted matchmaker, but who lacks self-knowledge: Even when she responds to her heart’s first impulse, she gets it wrong.
You may recall novelist Melvin Udall’s rejoinder in the film “As Good As It Gets” when asked (by a woman) how he does women so well: “I think of a man. And I take away reason and accountability.” I give you the Emma of this unaccountable musical.
Her Benedick – her sober and critical foil – is Mr. Knightley, ever present and usually squabbling with Emma but never betraying a romantic interest in her, just as she never regards him except as a scrappy friend.
Lora Lee Gayer makes a lovely Emma, and one might easily grasp Mr. Knightley’s long-simmering passion for her – if she only had a brain. But the musical as it unfolds at CST, directed by Barbara Gaines, portrays her as air-headed to the end, when the poor sot Mr. Knightley (the properly reserved and astute Brad Standley) suddenly and inexplicably prostrates himself before her in an abject protestation of love. What’s the man thinking?
But the problem with “Emma” runs much deeper than that. I have suggested this show would not be mistaken for Sondheim. Its lyrics can hardly be taken for poetry, period. The song texts are simplistic, obvious and repetitive. Wit here subsists at an adolescent level. The music itself is not much better. Oddly, the vocal performances outshine the material at hand.
Despite a stageful of supporting characters, there’s scarcely a sympathetic soul to be found among this lot of stock figures and caricatures. One way or another, Emma manages to torment them all.
There’s simpering, fawning, diffident Harriet Smith, played by Ephie Aardema in a palpitating performance that captures all of that. Harriet fatuously believes herself to be Emma’s good friend and, on Emma’s earnest counsel, rejects a plain but honest country lad (Ian Geers) who adores her and wants to marry her. And what’s Emma’s (ulterior) angle? She thinks an outwardly fine fellow of inwardly dubious merit, Frank Churchill (strutted about by Devin De Santis), would be a better match – or perhaps just a better catch.
In something of a preliminary sketch for the feckless clergyman Mr. Collins in “Pride and Prejudice” (which followed “Emma”), and his unwanted proposal to Elizabeth Bennet, this romantic arabesque gives us Mr. Elton (Dennis William Grimes), a likewise bumbling preacher who gives Emma the opportunity to reject him.
The most conspicuous squandering of stage prowess is Larry Yando’s walk-through as Emma’s aging, whining father: “I don’t like change.” I stopped counting after his third such pronouncement, though by then I believed him.
If the substance of this gauzy affair matched its visual aspect, it would be rewarding indeed. Scott Davis’ grand chandeliered and draped set design is gorgeous, a real eye-popper the moment you walk into the theater. And Gaines keeps the characters moving in a graceful flow. But it is an inescapably shallow, weightless enterprise that plays out to indifferent music and a flat, predictable text.
This show sent me away pining for the acuity of Elizabeth Bennet, the brittle brilliance of Beatrice – the pointed barbs of Kate the Curs’d. As it was, I felt like I’d narrowly escaped a digression among the criminally inane.

Dramatic fall in hospital admissions for child infections during first year of COVID-19 pandemic
During the first year or so of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were dramatic reductions in hospital admissions for common and severe childhood infections in England, most likely due to social distancing measures, school and workplace closures, and travel restrictions, finds a study published by The BMJ today.
While many of these measures are unsustainable outside of the pandemic, the researchers call for further evaluation of interventions that could be continued, especially during winter months, to minimise the burden on health systems and protect vulnerable children.
Worldwide, the indirect effects of COVID-19 on children’s health appear to be substantial. For instance, childhood immunisation programmes have been disrupted and emergency department visits have been delayed, but the impact of such delays on patient outcomes is unclear.
To address this, researchers from the University of Oxford assessed hospital admission rates and mortality outcomes for 19 common childhood respiratory infections, severe invasive infections, and vaccine preventable diseases before and after the onset of the pandemic in England.
Their analysis included data for all children aged 0-14 years admitted to an NHS hospital in England with an infection from 1 March 2017 to 30 June 2021.
Common respiratory infections included tonsilitis, influenza and bronchiolitis, while severe invasive infections included sepsis, meningitis and osteomyelitis (bone infection). Vaccine preventable diseases included measles, mumps and several bacterial causes of serious illnesses.
Potentially influential factors including sex, age, ethnic group, geographical region, deprivation, and existing conditions (comorbidities) were taken into account.
After 1 March 2020, substantial and sustained reductions in hospital admissions were found for all but one of the 19 infective conditions studied.
Among the common respiratory infections, the greatest percentage reduction was for influenza where the number of hospital admissions decreased by 94% from 5,379 (annual mean from 1 March 2017 to 29 February 2020) to 304 in the 12 months after 1 March 2020. For bronchiolitis, admissions decreased by more than 80% from 51,655 (annual mean 2017-20) to 9,423 in 2020-21.
Among the severe invasive infections, percentage reductions ranged from 26% for osteomyelitis to 50% for meningitis. And for the vaccine preventable infections, reductions ranged from 53% for mumps to 90% for measles, where admissions fell from 149 (annual mean 2017-20) to 15 in 2020-21.
Reductions were similar across all geographical regions, deprivation and ethnic groups, as well as among children with existing conditions who are at greatest risk of severe illness and death from infection.
Absolute numbers of deaths within 60 days of hospital admission for sepsis, meningitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, viral wheeze, and upper respiratory tract infections also decreased, although the researchers note that the proportion of children admitted for pneumonia who died within 60 days increased.
The only infection that didn’t show a reduction in hospital admissions was pyelonephritis (kidney infection). The researchers say this might be because non-drug interventions and social restrictions have no impact on this condition.
More recent data also indicate that some respiratory infections increased to higher levels than usual after May 2021.
These are observational findings, so can’t establish cause, and they do not cover patients who did not attend hospital or were not admitted. Nevertheless, the study included all relevant hospital admissions for a range of infections among the entire child population of England over several years, suggesting that the results are robust.
As such, the researchers conclude that a range of behavioural changes (adoption of non-drug interventions) and societal strategies (school closures, lockdowns, and restricted travel) used to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2, also reduced admissions for common and severe childhood infections in England.
And while many of these measures are generally unsustainable outside of the pandemic because of their inherent negative financial and societal impact, they suggest some could be continued, especially during winter months, “to minimise the burden on health systems and protect vulnerable children.”
Updated results will be published every month here.
These findings probably reflect a real decrease in non-COVID infections, but are likely to be temporary, say US researchers in a linked editorial.
As populations derive increasing protection from COVID-19 through natural infections or vaccination, and measures such as lockdowns, mask mandates, and social distancing ease, “there will probably be an increase in the incidence of primarily, but not exclusively, viral infections,” they write.
Understanding which mitigation strategies were most effective is key to reopening safely, they say, and, as many measures are relaxed globally, they call for studies “to determine which interventions provide the greatest benefit for a wide range of infectious diseases.”
