Mitchell vs. Spike
Although there seems to be some sort of angels vs. vampires thing going on in YA literature, and I ought to be on the side of the angels (as it were) I’m not ashamed to admit it … but I’m a Buffy fan.
Okay, it isn’t just Buffy. I also love Angel and Firefly. Joss Whedon is a genius writer and the people who cancelled Angel and Firefly should have their heads examined (slowly, while someone roasts their toes over a hot fire). Deep breath, moving on.
The thing about Buffy (or BtVS) is that the writing is brilliant, the stories are well thought out, the foreshadowing is excellent, the characters wonderful, funny, sharp and tragic. Also, in ‘the Whedonverse’ (as we fans are wont to say) actions have consequences. You simply cannot get away with anything. If you do wrong, it WILL (in the words of my book cover) eventually come back to haunt you – or bite you in the throat (as we’re talking about vampires). An excellent lesson for YA writers.
I could write for a month about Whedon, but really what I wanted to do was take a little look at one of his vampires: Spike.
I could be looking at Angel, but frankly all the angst started to get on my nerves so my loyalties turned to Spike – he was funnier, cooler, more vampirish and (in my opinion) much sexier. He started off as a good man, he was a badass vampire, then he fought to get his soul back so he could ‘get the girl’. He always went all in and when he sacrificed himself at the end of the final series, his death was both heart breaking and redemptive.
Now there’s a new vampire in town (or there was until a few night’s ago). I’ll admit I came late to Being Human (this series is the first I watched) but it was really good. I wouldn’t put the writing up there with Whedon’s and I thought a couple of the characters (hands up Annie and Leah) were excrutiatingly irritating. But there’s a great story-arc, some serious eye-candy, excellent acting and another heart-breaking vampire.
There’re some visual similarities between Spike and Mitchell (it’s pretty clear that Mitchell has been modelled on Whedon’s two central vamps) – there’s hotness and leather jackets everywhere! But there are other similarities too.
Mitchell – in love with a non-vampire.
Mitchell – spent a hundred years killing (and enjoying it)
Mitchell – spending time with humans, trying to be accepted and ‘become human’
When Mitchell decides it’s time to die, to provide justice to those he’s killed and to save those he hasn’t yet killed, it’s heart breaking. When he tries to get his best friend to kill him it’s awful and when he eventually dies, his best friend trying to save him from a future of ‘rampaging’ at another’s orders, it’s terrible and, like Spike, redemptive.
Spike dies to save the world from the uber-vamps. Mitchell dies to save the world from himself.
So, here’s my question …

DAP MPs to demand in March Parliament for the identity of the Sarawak Federal deputy minister who lied that he is not under ACA investigation and guilty of dishonest and unethical political conduct
by Lim Kit Siang
(Parliament, Wednesday): The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has called for an end to media speculation and “prosecution” of deputy ministers being investigated by the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) on the ground that it is unfair to the person being investigated who would be viewed as guilty by the public although he may not be so.
A fortnight ago, outgoing Sarawak ACA director Mohd Jamidan Abdullah revealed that a federal deputy minister from Sarawak was being investigated by ACA under Section 11(a) of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1997 since November last year.
As there are only five Federal deputy ministers from Sarawak, viz., Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum (Foreign Affairs), Datuk Robert Lau Hoi Chew (Housing and Local Government), Datuk Douglas Uggah Embas (Transport) and Joseph Entulu Belaun (Prime Minister’s Department) apart from Datuk Dr Tiki Lafe (Rural and Regional Development), everyone of the five came under a cloud and public suspicion.
I myself asked Robert Lau whether he was “the one out of the five” when I met him at the special Parliament sitting on 17th January, which he strenuously denied.
All the other four had also, like Robert Lau, made their public denials of being investigated by the ACA. They recently sent a joint letter of “regret” to the Prime Minister about the ACA disclosure, claiming their collective and individual innocence of being subject to ACA probe.
The ACA statement yesterday is very interesting, confirming that a deputy minister was under ACA investigation although it clarified that the original disclosure by Jamidan on Jan 11 was in response to a question by a reporter on whether the ACA was investigating any political leaders.
DAP MPs will demand in the March Parliament for the identity of the Sarawak Federal deputy minister who lied that he is not under ACA investigation and therefore guilty of dishonest and unethical political conduct. The issue here is not whether he is guilty or otherwise of corruption, which is the subject of ACA investigation, but his dishonest and unethical political conduct of telling a public lie, denying that he was under ACA probe when in fact he is.
DAP MPs will also question in the next parliamentary meeting the number of Ministers, deputy ministers and parliamentary secretaries who have been investigated by the ACA since Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi became the Prime Minister on Oct. 31, 2003 – as the ACA has also confirmed a second deputy minister under ACA investigation in connection with a RM1.6 million TNB contract.

Met officers, London Ambulance Service (LAS) paramedics and London's Air Ambulance all attended the town centre location.
On arrival emergency services found a second person had been stabbed at the shopping centre as well - a 16-year-old boy.
A Met Police spokesman said both were taken to hospital and police await an update as to their conditions.
Detectives from Croydon CID are investigating.
There have been no arrests at this stage.

'As parents we need to take control'
Some of our readers have been giving their reaction on Facebook to the double stabbing yesterday, with some suggesting what should be done to bring the knife crime epidemic sweeping London under control.
One said parents need to start taking control, whole another believes stop and search is the answer.
For the full story click here.
Whitgift Shopping Centre open as normal
The Whitgift Shopping Centre is open as normal following the double stabbing yesterday.
Part of North End, near the entrance to McDonald’s, had originally been cordoned off by police, while there was also a second cordon put up outside Monsoon and Accessorize inside the centre.
But these cordons had been lifted by police as Saturday morning (April 7), and the shopping centre is open as normal.
For the full story click here.
We have just been given an update by police on the condition of the two victims.
Thankfully neither of them suffered life-threatening injuries.
Police have also confirmed that one of the victims was a 16-year-old and the other a 17-year-old.
Six deaths in a week
This evening’s stabbings come at the end of an awful few days in which six people have died on London’s streets within a week.
- Devoy Stapleton, 20, was stabbed in Ellerton Road, Wandsworth, on Easter Sunday
- Tanesha Melbourne-Blake, 17, died the next day, after a drive-by shooting in Tottenham
- Just 30 minutes later Amaan Shakoor, 16, was shot in the face in Walthamstow. He died later in hospital
- Henry Vincent, 37, was stabbed at a house in Lewisham on April 4. He also died later in hospital
- A 53-year-old man collapsed on April 4 after reports of an altercation in Clapton, north-east London. He was pronounced dead at the scene and no arrests have been made
- Israel Ogunsola, 18, was stabbed to death in Hackney (pictured below) on April 4. Two 17-year-olds have been arrested on suspicion of murder

Readers give their reaction
Readers have been giving their views on what needs to be done to stop the current knife crime epidemic getting even worse.
Some have suggested national service being brought back, others that a curfew should be brought in for under 18s.
Perhaps the most common view, though, has been that parents need to do more to take responsibility for their children’s actions.
You can read our story on readers’ reaction to this evening’s events by clicking here.
What needs to be done to stop so many young people being stabbed?
We spoke to Croydon’s police chief Jeff Boothe (pictured below) in November about what needs to be done to stop so many youths getting caught up in knife crime.
He said that more stop and searches and extra police officers would not be enough on their own to make the difference.
“The only way we can really prevent this from happening is through prevention,” he explained.
“We can’t arrest our way out of this, we can’t stop and search our way out of this.
“Those are important tools, but the main thing here is about being able to engage with young people and get them to realise carrying knives is not the way that they need to be leading their lives.
“By carrying a knife, if you get into a disagreement with somebody, the natural progression is that that knife is then used. And sometimes that ends in fatal consequences.”

Attempted knifepoint robbery
In a separate incident a man is in custody this evening following an attempted knifepoint robbery at Wallington train station.
You can find out more about that incident by clicking here.
The good work being done to steer kids away from knife crime
Over the past few months we have written several stories about the efforts being made to steer youths away from knife crime.
Earlier this week we told how a new gym has opened in Surrey Street with the specific aim of mentoring youngsters at danger of getting caught up in knife crime.
You can read more about it by clicking here.
An all too familiar story
This evening’s stabbings occurred just yards from where Aren Mali was fatally stabbed on a Sunday night last October.
The former Thomas More student was just 17 years old when he died.
Sadly trouble in the town centre isn't unusual
Back in February we told how a police initiative, where a knife arch had been placed in the North End branch of McDonald’s, had been deemed to be “very successful”, by the borough’s most senior officer.
The arch was a temporary fixture aimed at discouraging young people from carrying knives.
Borough commander Jeff Boothe said: “When we first started putting up knife arches, we were going into schools and colleges and trying to persuade them of the benefits.
“Now, businesses and educational facilities are coming to us and saying they would really like to work with us on something similar.
“The knife arch is great because it’s much more emotive than stop and search.
“And seeing one somewhere such as McDonald’s, which is very public, provokes discussion and gets people talking.
“It gets people to actually engage with the issue rather than walking around it.”
Police still waiting for condition update
A Met Police spokesman said officers are still waiting to receive condition updates on the two young people who were stabbed.
London Ambulance Service (LAS) has been contacted for information.
Photos and video from the scene
Photos and videos taken in and near the Whitgift Centre show shops cordoned off and police standing guard.
'Really getting fed up now'
We are sure lots of you will feel the same as this man in response to the ongoing level of violence.
So I’m walking down Croydon town centre, next thing I know police have cornered of the part in front of the McDonald’s cause of a stabbing, I’m really getting fed up now man wth is going on.— PTB (@OmoBiliionaire) April 6, 2018
Latest from police
A Met Police spokesman said: “Police were called at 5.17pm on Friday, April 6, to a male aged in his late teens or early 20s suffering stab injuries at the Whitgift Shopping Centre in Croydon.

“A 16-year-old male, also suffering stab injuries, was found at the location.

Section of North End blocked off by police
The part of North End between Next and McDonald’s, including the entrance to Centrale, is taped off by police.

Review of In Translation: Translators On Their Work and What It Means to Them
A long, long time ago in a land far, far away, the people of the world spoke the same language. It was fun. There was no hand gesturing, shouting, or shoulder shrugging when talking to foreigners. Rosetta Stone did not run ads along side their Facebook streams bragging that their customers would meet their perfect mate if only they spoke French. Everyone sat around and babbled about the books they wanted to read, and what bookshelves they should build to show off their signed first editions. It was paradise. Since they were accomplished construction workers as well as readers they thought, “As long as we’re building bookshelves, we might as well build a stairway to heaven. What better way to get to heaven than a stairway lined in books.” They began their books and mortar tower, and, oh my, it was beautiful. But one day God looked down and was pissed. “You self-serving heathens!” he shouted. In order to stop their evil collaborative ways, he gave them all different languages. Suddenly they could no longer understand each other, and the stairway was forgotten–although Led Zeppelin did have quite a run with it many years later. And so it was that translators came to be.
Thank heavens for translators! Imagine your life without Albert Camus, Marcel Proust, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Per Petterson, Leo Tolstoy, or Haruki Murakami. If there were no translators, you would never experience the joy of reading The Stranger, Swann’s Way, One Hundred Years of Solitude, I Curse the River of Time, Anna Karenina, or 1Q84.
Amazingly, translators are the Rodney Dangerfields of the literary world. Their station in life is to be largely invisible, garnering little respect or fame. Once in awhile a translator such as Murakami will be the talk of the town such as when he translated The Great Gatsby into Japanese. And, the literary world was all aflutter when Lydia Davis produced new versions of Swann’s Way and Madame Bovary. But those are the exceptions. I am in awe of translators. Most people probably don’t realize this, but translators are bi-lingual. I know! That never occurred to me either.
Seriously though, translators are completely under-appreciated. That’s why I was very excited to hear that a book of essays was published in May by Columbia University Press called In Translation: Translators on Their Work and What It Means. It’s a fascinating exploration into the nature and process of translating. I learned, among other things, what makes a translation great, and what a translator takes into consideration when tackling another author’s book.
Part One contains seven essays contained under the heading The Translators in the World. Part Two is The Translator at Work and has 11 essays. One of my favorites is Eliot Weinberger’s Anonymous Sources in which he says that “translators are the geeks of literature.”
Another was Catherine Porter’s essay Translation as Scholarship. At one point she talks about the invisibility of translators. She says that in a 2009 New York Times article featuring Europa Editions, a publishing house that markets foreign literature in translation, “Five authors and titles were cited for the article, but not one translator was mentioned; indeed, the word “translator” never appeared at all.”
Most translators are authors in their own right. Murakami has written a dozen novels and won numerous writing awards including the Franz Kafka Prize, the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award and the Jerusalem Prize, among others. In his essay, As Translator, as Novelist, which was translated by Ted Goossen, he talks about what The Great Gatsby means to him and why he thought he needed to produce yet another version of it in Japanese. He says, “I found that none of the translations I looked at satisfied me, regardless of their quality. Inevitably, I would think, ‘This feels a bit (or a lot!) different from the Gatsby I know.’” Later he says, “…I translated Gatsby at an extremely personal level. I wanted to make my long-standing image of Gatsby clear and concrete, so that readers could picture the distinct colors and contours of the novel and feel its textures. To do this, I strove to eliminate anything that was the slightest bit obscure or that might leave the reader feeling as if they had somehow missed something….I have always felt that translation is fundamentally an act of kindness.”
In Translation is a very engaging read. It’s also quite funny at times. I found a treasure trove of little-known facts and anecdotes about a world I knew little about.

In my January 2023 Newsletter I wrote about our visit to the Bavarian styled town of Leavenworth here in Washington State. I guess this has now become a tradition as Dave and I are heading back to this lovely town in the Cascade Mountains next week for some snowshoeing and delicious German food. That should explain how I chose my header and footer photographs.
This month’s recipe is a winter classic, and it is Beef Stroganoff. Many families I know love to serve this in the wintertime. But what I wanted to know was the history of this recipe. This is a popular dish from Russia, and it is named after Count Alexander Grigorievich Stroganoff. He lived in the late 19th century in Odessa which is now in a populous city in the Ukraine. Count Stroganoff had a French chef who invented this for him because his teeth were no longer strong enough to chew large pieces of meat. The tenderness of this dish certainly explains the history!
Dave and I wish you a happy beginning to 2024!
From my table to yours,

We’ve had an unseasonably cold spring here in Chicagoland, but that doesn’t mean we can’t expect blisteringly-warm temperatures as the summer progresses. However, the heat doesn’t have to be extreme to place pets at risk of heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and dehydration. Especially if you’re aware of proper pet hydration.
Keeping pets hydrated is simple, but it can easily slip our minds in all the excitement and activities of summer. July is Pet Hydration Awareness Month, and The Pet Experts want to use this opportunity to share the principles of pet hydration with our readers.Continue…
We’ve long known that obesity is one of the biggest threats to our health. Unfortunately, this problem is no longer limited to humans – pets are also suffering the effects of being overweight or obese. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, an estimated 60% of cats and 56% of dogs in the United States are overweight or obese.
The Pet Experts care deeply about all pets, and we believe that owner education is the key to correcting and preventing pet obesity. Let’s start by tackling the top 5 pet weight myths!Continue…
You know your pet benefits from regular wellness exams, up-to-date vaccinations, and year-round parasite protection, but many pet parents don’t realize that pet dental care is just as important. Professional dental exams and cleanings can be costly, and it’s easy to think they just aren’t worth the money. However, nothing could be further from the truth.
February is Pet Dental Health Month, and The Pet Experts at Wheaton Animal Hospital want to make sure our readers know how important (and cost effective) it can be to invest in your pet’s dental health.Continue…
As we prepare to close out another fantastic year here at Wheaton Animal Hospital, we want to take a moment to thank you for choosing us as your partners in veterinary care! The Pet Experts are honored to provide you and your furry family member with the very best, and we treasure the relationships we’ve built with our patients and their families.
Pet owner education is important to us, and our regular pet care blogs aim to provide useful, relevant (and sometimes fun!) information to our readers. After reflecting on which topics were most meaningful to you this past year, we’ve put together a list of our most popular blogs of 2018. Enjoy!
If your pet was hospitalized with a critical injury tomorrow, could you afford the bill?
Many of us consider our pets to be family, and of course – they are! With advancements in veterinary medicine over the past decade, we now have access to advanced medical care for our pets – including cancer treatment, advanced surgical procedures, and critical care that rivals human level medicine.
As wonderful as it is to be able to provide this life saving care for our fur friends, it certainly does not come cheap. Canine Journal estimates that the annual cost of pet care is topping $1800 per pet. So it’s no wonder that some families struggle financially with providing the kind of veterinary care they want for their pet.
Enter: pet insurance. Designed to bridge the gap between medical care and cost, pet insurance can offset the financial burden of unexpected injury or illness to our pets. But is the monthly cost worth it? The Pet Experts at Wheaton Animal Hospital delve into this question, so you can weigh the costs and benefits for yourself.Continue…
If you’ve ever had an emergency with your beloved pet, you know how comforting it can be to have a knowledgeable and experienced veterinary technician caring for them. When you bring your pet in to see us, you know they are getting the very best in care from our team.
Our veterinary technicians are an integral part of that team. And with October 14-20th, 2018 designated as National Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week, we can think of no better time than now to tout the amazing capabilities and talents of these professionals. This week is dedicated each year to allow managers, veterinarians, and pet owners to thank veterinary technicians for all they do to care for and love our pets. Continue…
Like us, pets benefit incredibly from clean teeth and gums, but unfortunately, many pets don’t get attention to this area before certain problems have already taken root. Some, sadly, don’t ever have their teeth cleaned. The issue isn’t aesthetic, although a fresh-smelling slobber-kiss is certainly preferable to the alternative. Instead, through the prevention of pet dental disease, owners invest in their pet’s overall health and longevity. As the Pet Experts at Wheaton Animal Hospital can attest to, this is no small feat.
The Truth About Inflammation
The teeth are supported by gums, bone, and tissue. When these structures become progressively inflamed, tooth loss is the typical result. But the process starts long before when bacteria forms plaque on the teeth and gum line. To make matters even worse, saliva is comprised of certain minerals that, when combined with plaque, form the worst offender: tarter. Continue…
Everyone can agree that exercise in all forms is a good thing, regardless of one’s shape, size, age, gender, or species. When pets and people work out together, a sort of magic happens. The bond between them is almost tangible when walking, hiking, playing, or swimming, but it’s also common during a pet yoga session. The Pet Experts at Wheaton Animal Hospital can see why pet yoga is taking off!
Let’s take a closer look.
It is well documented that physical exercise is important to support the body’s functions, but there is no match for the direct impact on mental health and well-being. Indeed, we all feel better, more relaxed, or rejuvenated after a workout, and so do animals, no matter their age.
The ancient practice of yoga hinges on a central idea: being in the moment. Pets are excellent at being in the moment, and dogs, because they’re pack animals, thrive in moments of union with their pack leader. Continue…
When the weather turns nice, we’re all itching to get outside with our dogs. Whether that means hiking, camping, or backyard barbeques, keeping our best friend safe from pests tops the list of dangers to watch out for during outdoor season. One such pest, the tick, can be particularly irritating.
Ticks can cause a host of illnesses, including Lyme disease. Lyme disease is one of the most insidious and complex diseases that veterinarians deal with on a regular basis. Let The Pet Experts at Wheaton Animal Hospital give you the details of Lyme disease in dogs, so you’ll know what to watch for this summer and beyond.
Lyme Disease in Dogs 101
Lyme disease is a common, stubborn, and problematic tick-borne disease for dogs and humans alike. Transmitted by the deer tick (sometimes referred to as the black-legged tick) and the western black-legged tick, Lyme disease in dogs is an infection that often leads to lameness. Continue…
Pets age faster than humans and begin slowing down between 7 to 10 years old. Because of their age and associated health conditions, it might seem more compassionate to allow/encourage them to lay around the house. After all, they’ve earned their place on the couch, right? However, a sedentary lifestyle not only exacerbates age-related issues, it can also decrease an animal’s quality of life. Let The Pet Experts of Wheaton Animal Hospital review some fun, safe ideas for exercising a senior pet!

Bringing a transit rail car manufacturer to the county is a 'rare opportunity'
PITTSFIELD -- An economic development specialist at 1Berkshire said on Thursday that local business leaders should consider the possibility of bringing a transit rail car manufacturer to the Berkshires as a "rare opportunity."
Speaking at a Berkshire Chamber of Commerce function at the Country Club of Pittsfield, David W. Curtis also provided his perceptions on how the county can continue to develop its economic potential. The 1Berkshire Strategic Alliance is the county’s leading economic development agency.
Regarding the transit rail car project, Curtis said local interest has been so high that a meeting scheduled for Tuesday to discuss the project with local companies interested in becoming suppliers to such a manufacturer has already been moved to Berkshire Community College.
The meeting was originally scheduled to be held at 1Berkshire’s administration building at 66 Allen St. It will now take place from 8 to 9 a.m. Tuesday in the auditorium at BCC’s Koussevitzky Arts Center. Curtis said last week that 1Berkshire would move the meeting to a larger site if there was enough interest.
Berkshire County is one of several areas interested in bringing a transit rail car manufacturer to the state to make new rail transit vehicles for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. The contract stipulates that final assembly of the new vehicles has to take place somewhere in Massachusetts. The initiative could bring between 200 and 250 jobs to the Berkshires depending on the amount of work involved.
1Berkshire, the county’s leading economic development agency, is heading the local efforts to bring the project here. Ashuleot Park in Dalton, Schweitzer-Maudit’s former Greylock Mill in Lee, and the William Stanley Business Park of the Berkshires in Pittsfield are being marketed as sites.
Curtis called the project "very, very exciting," due to the number of jobs involved, but said it won’t be easy for the Berkshires to bring that manufacturer here.
"My guess is that we’ll have very, very tough competition," Curtis said. "But we have some attributes over other areas. Our workforce here is very talented."
Curtis, who came to the Berkshires from Cape Cod where he was the managing partner of the Entrepreneurial Research Partnership, listed several methods the Berkshires can use to promote the county’s economical potential.
He said business leaders need to help the Berkshire firms that are already here, and identify the companies that have the desire to grow.
While addressing the voids in the local economy, Curtis suggested that business leaders need to "address and maximize" the benefits that already exist in the Berkshires. Local business clusters, such as the plastics industry, offer "tremendous opportunity", Curtis said.
"Right now three out of every five companies is adding jobs," in the local plastics industry, he said. "You don’t even hear about it because it’s one at a time, two at a time, sometimes three or four ... I wish more people knew that."
Curtis said he and Keith Girouard, the director of the Berkshire Chapter of the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center, have been working with a small group of investors to form an "angel investment network" in the Berkshires that would provide a funding source for local entrepreneurs,
"There’s a huge need for a well-known identified angel investment group in this area," he said.
Building a comprehensive data base of Berkshire companies so that those outside the county can find the firms they may need here easier, is one of 1Berkshire’s goals, Curtis said.
Berkshire businesses also need to improve their marketing efforts outside the county.
"We do a terrible job of marketing ourselves," he said. "Beyond the beautiful trees and the lakes and the recreation folks don’t have a clue how talented (the Berkshires) is in the area of business."

This report is the result of two years of work by a commission established by the newspaper The Lancet (New window)composed of 28 global experts in public policy, international governance, epidemiology, vaccinology, economics, international finance and mental health.
A hundred other experts contributed to the writing of this highly critical report on pandemic management, at all levels and in most countries.
These researchers, who rely on nearly 500 studies and reports, observe a situation where failures have followed failures in terms of prevention, transparency, rational decision-making, implementation basic public health measures and international solidarity cooperation.
The staggering death toll in the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic is a profound tragedy and a massive societal failure on many fronts.said Jeffrey Sachs, chairman of the commission and professor at Columbia University.
We have to face hard truths: too many governments have failed to meet basic standards of institutional rationality and transparency; too many people have protested against basic public health measures, often influenced by misinformation; and too many nations have failed to promote global collaboration to bring the pandemic under controllaments Mr. Sachs.
A collective failure on all fronts
The report lists ten major mistakes that have helped the pandemic drag on for more than two years, including:
too long a delay before the announcement of the first cases of COVID-19;
late recognition that the virus is transmitted by aerosols;
a lack of coordination between countries;
a failure of governments to adopt best health practices;
a lack of data;
an inability to combat misinformation.
The authors say the World Health Organization (WHO) moved too carefully and too slowly on several important issues, including recognizing the mode of airborne transmission of the virus, recommending mask-wearing, declaring a state of pandemic and the publication of international travel protocols.
They note, however, that the work of the WHO has been greatly weakened by certain political interventions. They cite the US threat to withdraw from the WHO and tensions between China and the US over the origin of the virus as examples that have slowed and influenced the organization’s actions. It also contributed to undermining the organization’s credibility with the public.
The majority of governments have also been slow to recognize the importance of the virus and have been too timid in their interventions, write the authors.
Only the Western Pacific regions, including East Asia and Oceania, which have experienced other severe respiratory disease outbreaks in the past, have responded urgently and adopted strategies to prevent eliminate the virus. These regions have generally experienced lower mortality (about 300 per million people, compared to 4000 per million people in Europe and the Americas) and less significant economic impacts.
If all countries had chosen phase-out strategies [au début de la pandémie]it would have been possible to stop the disease without resorting to prolonged shutdowns and lockdowns and stopping international travelsays the report.
In many cases, the response of several governments has been guided more by political and administrative considerations than by recommendations from health experts, the researchers add.
In many cases, policies and decision-making have not been informed by continuously updated syntheses of evidencethey write.
The report says that, too often, governments have adopted less stringent measures or eased restrictions simply because they have emulated other countries to avoid popular discontent. Sometimes, too, they have imposed measures without taking into account the effects on or from other countries or regions.
Governments should have provided more support for the public to adhere to health measures, which includes:
the deployment of high-quality, easily accessible and affordable tests;
sites to self-isolate for those unable to do so at home;
financial support for people in isolation;
the imposition of air quality standards beyond basic standards encouraging the use of better filtration and ventilation systems;
free and easily accessible vaccination.
A lack of international collaboration and coordination
A cooperative approach was necessary, but was little adopted, the authors also deplore.
No one is safe until everyone is is an epidemiological concept that has been generally ignored.
In fact, more than a year after the start of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign, only one in seven people in low-income countries have been vaccinated, compared to one in four people in high-income countries. . This not only increases the number of infections globally, but also the risk of a new variant popping up.
The authors further cast some blame on the public:
Pandemic control has been seriously hampered by public opposition to health measures, such as wearing masks and vaccinations.
This opposition has had too much influence on political decisions, the report reads. The authors add that low scientific literacy, inconsistency in government decisions and extensive disinformation campaigns on social media have amplified this opposition.
Politicians should have relied more on recommendations from behavioral science experts to ensure the public adheres to health measures, believe the report’s authors.
Millions of preventable deaths
All of these failures had a devastating effect and caused millions of preventable deaths, the report says.
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) estimates that the global death toll is at least twice as high as the 6.9 million deaths reported as of May 31, 2022.
IHME also believes that 4.3 billion people, or 54% of the world’s population, were infected between December 1, 2021 and May 31, 2022 alone.
It is also estimated that 100,000 to 200,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 after refusing to be vaccinated.
Towards the end of the pandemic
Only better multilateral cooperation will end the pandemic, say the authors. They warn that the risk of a new variant emerging remains high and that there is uncertainty about the long-term duration of immunity conferred by vaccination and infection.
This is why the report suggests that countries adopt a
vaccine-plus strategy including :
increased availability of affordable tests and treatments;
better support for people with “long COVID”;
encouraging the wearing of masks;
support for people who have to self-isolate;
support to less well-off countries for the purchase of vaccines and treatments.
These strategies must be put in place on a sustained basis, not just when the signs point to a new wave.
The authors also point out that the premature lifting of sanitary measures has many problems.
First, the virus is not endemic and does not yet show a seasonal and predictable cycle, like the flu.
It is unlikely that we have achieved such predictability, and influenza too can give rise to devastating new variants and pandemics, such as the epidemics of 1957-1958 and 1968 which killed between 1 and 4 million peoplecan we read in the document.
Then, lifting the measures too quickly unnecessarily endangers immunocompromised people, who cannot acquire robust enough immunity.
Finally, the authors note, the more infections there are, the more people there will be suffering from
COVID long, which will have a major impact on health systems. They point out that up to 35% of people with COVID-19 and nearly 90% of those who have been hospitalized with the disease are living with long-term symptoms.
The authors warn that the failures observed since the start of the pandemic should serve as a lesson for leaders, who must also deal with important global challenges such as the climate emergency, the loss of biodiversity, air pollution, soil and water, and the large-scale migration of people due to conflict, poverty and environmental disasters.

Man Arrested For Allegedly Raping Woman He Met On A Dating Site
Police have arrested a man suspected of raping a woman that he met on a dating website.Aaron Robinson, 32, is suspected of driving a woman he met online to a CVS store, where he bought alcohol before taking her back to his apartment in Hawthorne. He is accused of forcibly raping her there, police told City News Service.
The assault allegedly occurred on November 4, but police had not located a suspect. This week police released surveillance photos from the CVS.
Later, police identified Robinson as a suspect and searched his apartment where they found evidence they believe ties him to the rape. He was arrested at his apartment Wednesday night.
Robinson told the woman that he had moved from Atlanta to Hawthorne in June and that he was working at a law firm. Robinson is scheduled to be arraigned today at the Airport Courthouse.

Background: Aphasia affects family members in addition to the individuals with the communication disorder. In order to develop appropriate services for the relatives of people with aphasia post-stroke, their rehabilitation goals need to be identified. Aim: The aim of the current investigation was to identify the rehabilitation goals that family members of individuals with aphasia have for themselves. Methods & Procedures: Forty-eight family members of adults with aphasia post-stroke participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews to identify the rehabilitation goals they had for themselves. All the interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Outcomes & Results: Analysis revealed seven categories of goals that the family members had for themselves: to be included in rehabilitation, to be provided with hope and positivity, to be able to communicate and maintain their relationship with the person with aphasia, to be given information, to be given support, to look after their own well-being, and to be able to cope with new responsibilities. A few participants reported that, at certain times during the rehabilitation process, they did not have any goals for themselves. Conclusions & Implications: This study highlights that family members of individuals with aphasia have a number of aphasia-related rehabilitation goals for themselves. In order to provide a family-centred approach to rehabilitation, health professionals, including speech-language pathologists, need systematically to identify and address family members' goals in light of the categories revealed in this investigation.

PEARS chief Fanos Hira has lavished praise on county staff for their ‘tireless’ work in ensuring New Road can welcome back spectators later this month.
Members will be able to watch cricket for the first time in more than a year when Worcestershire host Derbyshire on May 27 in round eight of the LV=Insurance County Championship.
The news was confirmed on Monday (May 10) by Prime Minister Boris Johnson who revealed the Government would move to step three of its roadmap to unlock the country from the coronavirus lockdown.
And while entry will be limited as restrictions will still be in place until at least June 21, club chairman Hira revealed his delight at the prospect of fans returning.
“They (club staff) deserve enormous credit and thanks. I know all staff, players and coaches can’t wait to see you back at New Road supporting our team,” he said in an update to members. “When crowds do return to New Road, we hope you’ll notice some improvements – we have switched on our new Wi-Fi system across our ground – hosted by The Cloud – which will allow for free, fast internet access for all spectators.
“Members will also be able to order food, drink and retail items from their seat, and it will be brought to them. It may seem revelatory for us as cricket fans, but it has been in operation in the US for 30 or more years.”
The New Road figurehead also spoke of his hope that all restrictions will be lifted on June 21, allowing Worcestershire to optimally operate at full capacity.
“We have Vitality Blast games home fixtures against Durham, Leicestershire and against the Birmingham Bears and our overseas players Ben Dwarshuis and Sandeep Lamichhane arrive soon,” said Hira.
“We have been pleased with the feedback from live streaming our home games against Nottinghamshire and Essex at New Road. The club has worked well to ensure last year’s gremlins have been overcome.
“We and all other counties have benefited from previous years’ experiences, and the uptake has been strong. Our cricket is easily and readily accessible on many platforms (our website, ECB hub), and on YouTube, by searching for Worcestershire Cricket.
“Viewing figures have reached over 120,000 on YouTube alone across the eight days played.
“We will continue to stream all live games at New Road. It is an area we will invest more in and improve further. For example, our Vitality Blast home games will feature our own commentary team providing additional content on our team, our club and our opposition.”

- Sen. Pat Toomey on Sunday criticized the Democratic-led climate and fiscal plan backed by Joe Manchin.
- “It really looks to me like Joe Manchin was taken to the cleaners,” the Republican said on CNN.
- Democrats hailed the proposed climate investments as something long overdue.
GOP Sen. Pat Toomey on Sunday criticized the Democratic-led climate, health care and tax accord crafted by Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York. York, saying he was “really surprised” to see the conservative senator from West Virginia accept the proposal.
During a CNN “State of the Union” interview, the incumbent two-term Pennsylvania lawmaker told co-anchor Jake Tapper he appreciates his relationship with Manchin, but said the draft law that should come from the agreement would be “a disaster.”
“I really like Joe Manchin — he and I have become friends over the years of serving together in the Senate,” Toomey said. “But it really looks to me like Joe Manchin was taken to the cleaners.”
He continued: “And what does Joe get for this? He gets the promise that someday in the future they’re going to pass some kind of energy infrastructure legislation. So it’s a disaster. It’s going to make it worse. inflation. It’s not going to do any good. I’m really surprised that Joe agreed to that.
Manchin has played a very important role in the 50-50 Senate since his vote can make everything sink or swim, from reconciliation legislation to judicial appointments, and he’s been a tough sell on many larger-than-many social spending proposals. Democrats sought to pass. ; his Support of the Cut Inflation Act of 2022 was a boon to party morale, as many had all but given up on enacting climate legislation ahead of the November midterms, when Republicans could potentially win back one or more both houses of Congress.
The bill would greenlight a three-year extension of subsidies for individuals to purchase health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, while providing nearly $370 billion for climate and energy programs and $300 billion to reduce the federal budget deficit. The bill would also generate about $739 billion in revenue over the next decade, helped in part by a minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with net income over $1 billion.
Toomey argued in the interview that the legislation would undermine the 2017 tax reform package signed into law by then-President Donald Trump.
And Toomey said the bill would “do nothing” to tackle climate change despite the huge investments made in the proposal, pointing out that many other countries lack programs that would reduce overall emissions.
“What we need is a strong economy and the ability to find the innovation and technology that will allow us, on a large commercial scale, to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,” he said. he declared. “But those gestures, they may feel good, they’re not going to accomplish it.”
Schumer and Manchin seek to pass the legislation in August.
