From period poverty to harassment, young women and girls suffer in lockdown
New research reveals how the coronavirus crisis has also worsened womens' mental health and reduced access to contraception in the UK
In the last two months, life in the UK has become unrecognisable – a government-enforced lockdown means the public must stay at home except for essential shopping or exercise, cutting people off from their families and social circles. Now, a new report has revealed the extent to which these measures are exacerbating problems for girls, including period poverty, harassment, and more.
According to a Plan International UK survey of over 1,000 young women aged 14 to 21, 40 per cent of girls feel their mental health has worsened during lockdown, 30 per cent have had issues affording or accessing period products, 10 per cent have been unable to get hold of their usual form of contraception, and 19 per cent have experienced public sexual harassment.
"We know that health crises have a disproportionate effect on girls," Rose Caldwell, Plan International UK's CEO, tells Dazed. "We are already seeing this pattern in the UK, with increased reports of violence against women and girls, increased unpaid care work (shouldered by women), exacerbated economic gender inequality, reduced access to sexual and reproductive healthcare, and gendered mental health issues."

Girls across the UK were "already facing huge barriers to their rights", continues Caldwell, which is no different in the current pandemic. "Girls' voices and experiences have been excluded from decision-making and debate, including in wider discussions about gender inequality, which tend to focus on the impact on adult women."
Caldwell says that lockdown has particularly "exacerbated the already prevalent problem of period poverty in the UK", which is contributed to by a 'toxic trio' of issues, including "the cost of products, a lack of education about periods, and the shame and stigma surrounding menstruation".
Since the UK went into lockdown on March 23, a third of girls have been unable to get hold of sanitary products. 30 per cent have had difficulty either affording or accessing products, with over half of them using toilet roll as an alternative. However, due to the pre-lockdown spree of panic buying, many girls weren't even able to access toilet roll, with 20 per cent saying this directly impacted the management of their periods.
"We could never imagine that schools would be closed, but now we must find a quick solution to increase access to period products" – Rose Caldwell, Plan International UK
Research conducted in May 2019 found that schoolgirls miss an average of three days per term due to period-related issues – more than for a cold, flu, holidays, or truancy. The UK government has since taken steps to tackle period poverty, making free sanitary products available to schools across England, while in February, Scotland became the first country in the world to make menstrual items free for anyone who needs them. However, with schools closed during lockdown, 30 per cent of girls don't know who to ask to get hold of free products.
"The strong progress made on tackling period poverty across the UK in the past year must not be undone," urges Caldwell. "We could never imagine that schools would be closed, but now we must find a quick solution to increase access to period products while the free schemes in schools have been severely disrupted." Caldwell advises that girls check in with their schools or local food banks if they are in need of free sanitary products.
As well as exacerbating period poverty, lockdown has had a detrimental impact on young womens' mental health. Social media has been cited as one reason for dwindling mental wellbeing (37 per cent), with 25 per cent of girls saying they have experienced at least one form of abuse, bullying, or sexual harassment online during lockdown. Education has also played a role, with many girls attributing their mental health deterioration to not being able to attend school (41 per cent), feeling like they don't have a purpose (43 per cent), and worrying about not sitting exams (30 per cent). 66 per cent also said they were learning less during lockdown.

17-year-old Indya from Eastbourne says she's concerned about the pandemic's impact on her future studies. "I'm in year 12," she says, "and there's a lot of confusion because we are meant to be looking at universities this summer. A lot of open days have been cancelled, and so have our exams. I miss the physical support you feel being surrounded by teachers and students, but have been trying to take everything one day at a time."
Manchester-based Atlanta is particularly struggling with her mental health and sense of reality during lockdown. "Right now, I feel like I am living through someone else's lens," the 18-year-old explains, "like I'm watching a movie but from someone else's perspective. Because we're in such an unprecedented time and it's all so uncertain right now, I feel like I'm distancing myself from reality."
Girls are also still finding themselves subject to daily public harassment despite the fact they're only leaving the house once a day under lockdown. According to Plan International UK's report, 28 per cent feel less safe outside than before the pandemic due to the fact there are fewer people around to help if something happened (52 per cent), and that the police are busy with other priorities (31 per cent).
"Right now, I feel like I am living through someone else's lens, like I'm watching a movie but from someone else's perspective" – Atlanta, aged 18
"I'm a key worker, and even during the pandemic, male customers are making inappropriate comments," reveals Atlanta. "One called me 'baby' and told me my boyfriend must be a 'lucky man'." Atlanta also says she's never felt truly safe exercising outside, but has noticed the male gaze even more during lockdown. "I was out running by a road recently and a van honked at me, then a cyclist rode past and kept turning his head to look at me. If anything had happened, the nearest place open was a supermarket, but it was still a long walk away. It makes me feel uncomfortable running on my own and I won't be going down that road again."
South Wales-based Josie has also felt unsafe outside during quarantine. "Despite us being in a global pandemic, I've still been catcalled," says the 22-year-old. "The worrying thing is that when walking out and about at night, there are fewer people around to help if anything potentially goes wrong."
"We cannot allow the lockdown to turn back the clock on girls' rights," says Caldwell. "We need to send a clear message that street harassment is not OK, make sure girls can access the support they need, and work with bystanders, including men and boys, to ensure they feel able to call out street harassment."

Last year, sisters Gemma and Maya Tutton launched Our Streets Now, a campaign to make street harassment a criminal offence in the UK – at the time of writing, their petition has over 201,000 signatures. Speaking to Dazed in March, Maya said: "Public sexual harassment has become normalised: many people I've spoken to feel like it's a horrible but inevitable part of our lives, when the reality is that it's totally unacceptable."
Discussing the impact of coronavirus on women's rights, Claire Barnett, UN Women UK's executive director tells Dazed: "We are all experiencing challenges due to COVID-19 and the resulting isolation. However, as the response is developed, women's needs cannot be an afterthought. As investment happens in our provisions, it is absolutely critical that the government takes into account the needs of all women and girls. It is also important that we share information within communities and with each other more effectively on what we can all do to ensure no one gets left behind."
Barnett cites a handful of key reasons that make coronavirus a heightened danger to women. These include the fact that women make up 70 per cent of frontline healthcare staff, the reduction of funding to critical women's services when healthcare providers are stretched, and the rise of domestic violence in quarantine.

Last month, domestic abuse charity Refuge reported a 700 per cent increase in calls to its helpline in a single day, while a line for perpetrators seeking help to change their behaviour has received 25 per cent more calls since the start of lockdown.
On Saturday (May 2), the government announced a £76 million package to support the most vulnerable in society, including victims of domestic violence, who will reportedly be prioritised for housing. While this is a positive step, it's currently unclear how the money will be allocated, and is far below the £173 million funding that charities say is needed to support victims.
Concerns have also been raised over women's access to abortion during lockdown, with the UK announcing changes to regulations before reversing them hours later. The government has now confirmed that women can take two abortion pills at home, instead of having to take one at a clinic – as per the current rules – in order to avoid exposure to coronavirus. In Northern Ireland, abortion law reform was meant to arrive on April 1, following the lifting of archaic bans in October 2019. Although the country has now allowed women to have abortions – by taking one pill at a local clinic and the second at home – the Northern Ireland government is still resisting calls for telemedicine, which would provide both pills safely at home.
"There is an urgent need for policy makers in the UK to ensure girls' voices are heard throughout this crisis and afterwards" – Rose Caldwell, Plan International UK
"We have global evidence that restricting access to abortions does not reduce the number of abortions happening," explains Barnett. "It only causes them to happen in unsafe and, at times, traumatising circumstances."
An inability to access contraception is also concerning for young women, with many using it for heavy periods as well as for preventing pregnancies. According to Plan International UK, adolescent girls were already facing stigma in accessing sexual health services, and are now finding a reduced access to essential and time sensitive services at a time of increased needs. "Digital technology is a gift," says Barnett, "we should be using it powerfully at this time to ensure that these services are not only available, but are truly accessible by all."
"We are concerned that this pandemic could set us back still further on the path to gender equality," Caldwell concludes. "The worries that girls have raised around issues including their mental health and the impact of the lockdown on their education are likely to continue for many months to come, and could impact girls' future opportunities. There is an urgent need for policy makers in the UK to ensure girls' voices are heard throughout this crisis and afterwards, especially girls who are vulnerable and often the least heard."

Researchers thought that Neanderthals interbred with other prehistoric human species only on some rare occasions, but a recent study revealed that ancient humans lived in a "world of debauchery," as they interbred with their "cousins" very often, throughout 35,000 years.
"I do think there was probably much more interbreeding than we initially suspected. Some of the fantastical aspects come from a lack of a clear definition of 'species' in this case. It is always very hard to know if an extinct group constituted a different species or not. My guess is that any time two different human groups lived in the same place at the same time for a while, they probably had some sort of breeding contact," said Dr. Joshua Schraiber.
"The scenario of multiple episodes of modern-human-Neanderthal interbreeding fits with the emerging view of complex and frequent interactions between different hominin groups," also said Dr. Fabrizio Mafessoni, a geneticist who did not participate in the study.
According to some other previous studies, the Denisovans interbred with the Neanderthals and ancient humans frequently. The Denisovans have been identified as ancient humans since 2008, in southern Siberia, Russia. The scientists dubbed them as very different than the Neanderthals and other early humans.
"These findings indicate a longer-term, more complex interaction between humans and Neanderthals than was previously appreciated. It had recent Neanderthal ancestry. These fossils are about 37,000 to 38,000 years old – so at least some interbreeding must have been going on as recently as then. This pattern of Neanderthal ancestry in modern human genomes was initially interpreted as evidence of a single period of interbreeding, occurring shortly after the out-of-Africa bottleneck," added Joshua Schraiber, referring to the discovery an early human skull in Romania, in 2002.

The NICE Guideline Development Group 2014 has made the following recommendations for research, based on its review of evidence, to improve NICE guidance and care of people with faecal incontinence in the future.
What is the value of pelvic floor muscle training in preventing and treating obstetric-related faecal incontinence?
Obstetric-related faecal incontinence is a distressing condition which may occur early after childbirth. Previous obstetric injury is also a major cause of faecal incontinence in older women, so reducing risk would have important benefits for both young and old people. Obstetric risk factors relate not just to sphincter disruption, but also to pelvic floor damage, and there is reason to believe that improving pelvic and sphincter strength before potential injury may be beneficial. Equally, early intervention post partum may help reduce the well recognised risk of delayed-onset faecal incontinence in women.
There is no standardisation of what pelvic floor muscle training should comprise. There is also no evidence base on whether treatment before potential injury (that is, labour) serves a protective role. This study will require the interaction of obstetric, colorectal and physiotherapy services across primary and secondary care.
The development of a valid and reliable tool to measure patient-rated outcomes including symptom severity and quality of life for people with faecal incontinence.
Research into and treatment of faecal incontinence is hampered by the lack of a valid and reliable tool that has been refined through iterative piloting and consultation stages. Such a tool would enable standardisation of outcome measures with which to compare results of interventions, allowing the effectiveness of interventions to be genuinely compared and accurately assessed.
Qualitative review for this guideline has highlighted the paucity of information on patients' views and the crudeness of current evaluation of symptoms and outcomes. By involving users, healthcare providers and qualitative researchers in the design of a tool, the most relevant outcomes (to all groups) could be measured, including symptom severity and quality of life. Each group would bring different perspectives to the tool, ensuring that all relevant topics are covered and that the tool is useful to all groups.
Would a self-care educational programme for patients and carers improve outcomes (symptom severity and quality of life) for people with faecal incontinence?
Qualitative evidence suggests that mutual support groups improve quality of life for people with faecal incontinence. Evidence also suggests that people with faecal incontinence should benefit from improved access to healthcare options, that information about management and treatment options is scarce, and that the taboo surrounding faecal incontinence hinders help-seeking behaviour. Addressing these issues would allow patients to be involved in tailoring of individual care plans.
A self-care group programme providing integrated education and support covering topics such as support networks, coping strategies, and identification and provision of suitable products and treatments may aid practical care and improve both physical and psychological outcomes. It would provide community-based healthcare, involving healthcare professionals including continence specialist clinicians and clinical psychologists, and would integrate with social care.
This type of self-care programme may reduce the demand on secondary care. The views of those attending may shape future health/social care by reducing the number of admissions to residential care because of faecal incontinence.
Does a bowel management programme for older people in care homes improve the outcomes of faecal incontinence and constipation? Does the programme improve perceptions of quality of care for the individual with faecal incontinence and the carer?
Over 50% of older people in care homes suffer from bowel-related problems. This is the cause of much anxiety and discomfort for patients, and adds to the carer burden. Moreover, with the UK's ageing population, this problem will increase with time. Little research has been done on effective bowel care in this population, and care is expensive, with laxatives, pads and carer time all contributing to the overall cost.
A management programme for this population may provide a way of enhancing the quality of life of people with faecal incontinence and their carers, and improve overall healthcare.
What is the prognostic value of physiological assessment in defining the outcome of surgery to treat faecal incontinence?
It is currently hard to predict which people will benefit from surgical treatment for faecal incontinence. Developing an improved selection procedure would reduce unnecessary procedures, reducing costs and improving care pathways for people with faecal incontinence.
Clinical assessment could be compared with full physiological and structural assessment in people referred for specialist assessment in whom surgery is contemplated. This would allow a more accurate correlative description of the relationship between symptoms and physiology or structure. This in turn would allow a better selection procedure to be developed. Following people through surgery and over a long-term follow-up period would allow the prognostic value of certain physiological/structural abnormalities in defining surgical outcome to be evaluated. Long-term outcome of certain surgical procedures could also be investigated.
This research question would be best answered by a multicentre study based on a network of NHS secondary care sites.
Substantial potential to improve health?
Realistic – how long until benefits could be realised?
Other factors could include social or ethical concerns.

Politics and the economy
Adoration of the PM is a strong card for Labour but polls are pointing to a close-run election
tutere44	Government, Uncategorized	 January 14, 2020 3 Minutes
NZ politicians have been quiet over the holiday season, perhaps in the case of the Labour team, reflecting on the "year of delivery" and where it all went wrong.
But now we are into a new decade (one authority has already labelled it "the roaring 2020s") and New Zealand cannot stay isolated in some sort of cocoon, no matter how much this may be desired.
Even those politicians who have succeeded in finding a peaceful beach on which to sun themselves will be formulating the strategies they hope will work for them in election year.
Many on the Labour side of the fence believe Jacinda Ardern has a fan base strong enough to carry the coalition to a second term. Here at Point of Order, we have encountered sufficient adoration within that fan base to consider that they will stay loyal when they cast their ballots.
And she is regarded as one of the most admired world leaders, isn't she?
But as elections elsewhere have shown, particularly in the UK but also in Australia, constituencies which have never deviated from being rock-solid Labour for decades can turn decisively away from the party.
Party strategists may assess Labour in NZ does not face the kind of political trauma which afflicted their contemporaries in London or Canberra, but current polling trends indicate the 2020 election could be a close-run thing.
And there is a distinct problem to be faced after the so-called "year of delivery" did little more than yield a series of stuff-ups by ministers like Phil Twyford and Iain Lees-Galloway, grandiose but unfulfilled claims from the likes of Shane Jones and ( does one dare mention it?) the failure by Ardern herself to limit child poverty.
What kind of policies can Labour campaign on in 2020?
A new programme of affordable housing? Just don't call it KiwiBuild.
How about fixing the health system after all those years of neglect (no, not the nine years of the Key-English government, but the last three).
Let's see: what about new measures on mental health? Or can something be done about inequality?. Expansion of the fees-free policy for university students? Pledge an increase in the police force? Sure, the average citizen might say, but have crime rates fallen? Do people feel safer simply because there are more fresh-faced constables on the beat?
How about building some new highways? No, that wouldn't resonate with voters who regard the lack of new road projects as one of the biggest failures of the Ardern-led coalition.
What about making NZ more prosperous? Could Labour find a formula to lift productivity?
The problem with issues like that is to present them in a way that voters find credible. It wouldn't be easy, given the record since 2017.
Even where actions like lifting the minimum wage appeal to elements in Labour's core base, there can be negative reactions in other sections, such as small business operators who find their profitability squeezed to vanishing point when the wage bill is raised by a Beehive diktat.
And many Labour voters among tradespeople are not happy when they see their hard-earned taxes diverted into spend-ups on beneficiaries who are reluctant to find work — particularly in places where employers have to rely on migrant labour to pick fruit or to staff retirement homes.
There will be considerable pressure on Finance Minister Grant Robertson to provide goodies in the pre-election budget. But would tax cuts—which would almost certainly have to be targeted, if they are to be a vote-winner—capture many votes outside Labour's core base?
Tough going then for those that will be shaping Labour's policy.
The drums can beat loudly over what the government has done on climate change. But if NZ politicians on the Left claim they are leading the world in reducing emissions, will the weather be any different next summer?
The evidence may be daunting even for those who like to think NZ can make a difference on global warming.
Clearly, Jacinda Ardern will have to work overtime dispensing those lovely hugs .
Hold on there: hasn't the present government set a record for the working groups it set up, the royal commissions beavering away, and the endless reviews it has called for?
Now there's an achievement for the history books. Not perhaps one to rank with those of the Savage-Fraser , or the Lange-Douglas eras. But in its own way, hard to beat.
Jacinda Ardern

Odysseus says:
Let's face it, the only thing this coalition has been proficient at is banning things: plastic bags, oil and gas exploration and , shortly, free speech. There is nothing to see on the positive side of the balance sheet – all the social indicators are heading South. Will more "hugz" and "feelz" from Jacinda tip the balance? Would you buy a used car from these people?
MacSlernz says:
This government has been hopeless but I think they will be reelected primarily because of Ms Ardern. I think she is one of the laziest Prime Ministers. Unfortunately, the media, both here and internationally, love her. NZ MSM will wage a Ardern love fest leading up to the election of that I have no doubt. She will be given an easy ride during the televised leaders' debates and continue to be protected in Parliament by our "impartial" Speaker. Finance Minister Robertson will also hand out lavish election bribes… er pledges. Perhaps tax cuts, benefit increases, free dental? I also predict that "journalist" Nicky Hager will publish another book a few weeks before the election probably about white supremacists and semi-automatic owning gun owners and linking them with the National Party.

Guests love the pretty much daily appearance of elephants at Impodimo – they come for a mud bath at the lodge's waterhole before wandering up to the swimming pool to drink!
The camp is unfenced – so keep a look out for animals grazing in the bush as you enjoy using your outdoor shower!
Not as good as the Sabi Sands in terms of leopard sightings – then again Madikwe is famous for its fantastic wild dog sightings which are arguably even more special!
pretty much every day the ellies visit the lodge's waterhole for a mud bath and wallow before heading up the lodge swimming pool for a good slurp of the crystal-clear pool water!
But great guiding and game viewing is far from being Impodimo's only strength – the lodge itself is also gorgeous!
If you're a family and looking for an even more exclusive experience, then the Deluxe suites are perfect as they can each sleep 4 adults and 2 children and also boast their own bar, private boma and plunge pool, all with excellent views of the bushveld including a very active waterhole – you're also spoiled with a private vehicle, ranger and tracker, chef and butler service! Whichever room type you stay in though, children are welcome at Impodimo and your kids may participate in the kiddies program, where they are entertained with fun and educational activities, with even a kiddies bumble safari which is designed to focus on the little things in the bush with an emphasis on younger children safety – don't worry mums, close encounters with big game are avoided!
The main lodge itself is lovely and you will be able to enjoy spectacular views extending as far as the eye can see. In the warmer summer months you'll no doubt spend many hours lazing around the pool deck or lapa with a cold beer or glass of chilled sauvignon blanc. With any luck while you're down there you'll get to enjoy the regular visit of the elephants – pretty much every day the ellies visit the lodge's waterhole for a mud bath and wallow before heading up the lodge swimming pool for a good slurp of the crystal-clear pool water! (pretty much their equivalent then of guests going for a massage and then heading to the bar for a drink!) The big question is will you be brave enough to share the pool water with the ellies whilst you're still in it! During the cooler winter months, you can retire to the library with a good book or relax in the cosy lounge or bar and enjoy a warming glass of red wine next to the spectacular open fire! Meals are enjoyed on the pool deck or in the open air boma where you can get to share your day's game drive adventures around the fire with your ranger and fellow guests.
As mentioned previously, the twice-daily game drives in open 4x4 vehicles are a major highlight of your stay at Impodimo. The lodge brought in Shangaan trackers specifically to enhance the quality and frequency of sightings - particularly on the more rarely seen animals. There's little doubt that this improves the wildlife viewing experience as your ranger has to drive the vehicle, communicate with guests and spot game - with a tracker there's an extra pair of very sharp and experienced eyes, and most importantly they are able to leave the vehicle and follow tracks on foot. When appropriate you will be able to drive off-road to view these icon animals and as a result the sightings of species such as leopard are more frequent – and as they become increasingly accustomed to the presence of vehicles the animals become more relaxed too and the quality and duration of sightings improve. The end result is that Impodimo is arguably THE lodge to visit in the Madikwe for great game sightings!

Novak Djokovic won his seventh Australian Open title and 15th Grand Slam
A look at how Novak Djokovic became a 15-time Grand Slam champion following his seventh Australian Open triumph on Sunday.
Djokovic produced one of the great Grand Slam final performances to crush his great rival Rafael Nadal and make more history in Melbourne.
We chart Djokovic's journey to the top echelons of the sport and his Grand Slam winning success stories...
Djokovic turned professional in 2003, when he was still a teenager, after a junior career which saw him reach the Australian Open semi-finals.
First Grand Slam appearance
Two years later he made his first Grand Slam appearance Down Under, where he was defeated by eventual champion Marat Safin.
Djokovic teamed up with his good friend Andy Murray, who would go on to become a great rival at the Grand Slams, for the men's doubles at the 2006 Australian Open.
Maiden Tour title
The Serb celebrated winning his first ATP title at the Dutch Open in Amersfoort with a silver-plated iPod and some flowers.
Off-court requests
As the titles came, so were demands for more promotional shoots - like this one in Monte Carlo ...
... and this fashion show which was part of the Rogers Cup Tennis Tournament.
Consistent performer
More trophies quickly followed ... like this one at the ATP Vienna Open in 2017 after victory against Stan Wawrinka.
Maiden Grand Slam title
Djokovic beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to earn his first Grand Slam singles title at the 2008 Australian Open ...
... but he had to wait until 2011 before lifting his second major title, beating Murray at the Australian Open in Melbourne.
First Wimbledon triumph
In the summer he landed his first Wimbledon title after downing defending champion Rafael Nadal.
Top seed Djokovic secured the US Open to claim three of the four Grand Slams that year.
Melbourne joy
The man known as the 'Serbinator' earned yet more success Down Under in 2012.
He made it three in a row at the Australian Open in 2013 when he beat Murray.
Djokovic was a runner-up, after defeat in the 2012 French Open final, once again to his arch nemesis Nadal at the 2013 US Open.
The Serb was once again seduced by the Spaniard in the final of the French Open in 2014.
Back to winning ways
Having lost his previous three major finals, Djokovic hired Boris Becker, and walked away with his second Wimbledon title in 2014.
More success Down Under
Djokovic becomes a five-time Australian Open champion and an eight-time Grand Slam winner after beating Murray in the final.
From dejection to joy
After losing out in the French Open final for the third time in disappointing fashion, he returned to Wimbledon to claim his third title and ninth Grand Slam crown by beating Roger Federer.
At home in the Big Apple
Djokovic celebrates his second US Open title and 10th major after defeating Federer at the US Open.
Sixth Melbourne success
Djokovic holds the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup after beating Murray to win in Australia for a sixth time.
https://imgur.com/zFMWd22
Career Grand Slam
https://imgur.com/1P8ksil
Djokovic finally ended his wait for a Roland Garros title by beating Murray in the showpiece to complete the career Grand Slam and hold all four major titles.
Lucky No 13
https://imgur.com/kqeLJJT
Twelve months on from retiring from his quarter-final encounter with Tomas Berdych, Djokovic returned to the winners' circle with an assured victory against Kevin Anderson to capture his first major championship success since the French Open in 2016.
Level with Pistol Pete
https://imgur.com/UrZ7P5n
A couple of months later and he collected his 14th Grand Slam title and second in a row by defeating 2009 champion Del Potro 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 as his form resembled the machine that held all four major titles at the same time in 2016.
One of the great performances
https://imgur.com/yUujXh6
Djokovic needed just two hours and four minutes to claim a 6-3 6-2 6-3 victory and a 15th Grand Slam crown as he destroyed Rafael Nadal to separate him from the tie he was in with Roy Emerson and Roger Federer, while he became the first man ever to win three successive major titles on three different occasions.

HONORING A HERO

Maj. Gen. Robert Caslen Jr., left, watched U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye receive the Medal of Honor Flag yesterday from Capt. Terry Zoch, far right, helped by Command Sgt. Maj. Frank Leota, during the Flying "V" Ceremony at Schofield Barracks. The Medal of Honor Flag is given to those who are awarded the U.S. military's highest honor and to commemorate their courage, sacrifice and bravery. Inouye received the Medal of Honor for his heroism and devotion to duty in the vicinity of San Terenzo, Italy, on April 21, 1945. He was a second lieutenant in the Army's 442nd Regimental Combat Team at the time.

When the Federal Communications Commission meets today to repeal Obama-era regulations that protect net neutrality, the free and open internet as we know it could be drastically transformed. The rules that help preserve the internet as a place where free speech and innovation thrive without interference or censorship by your internet service provider would be replaced with a system that helps a few opportunistic and short-sighted corporations looking for more ways to monetize the internet.
As the CEO of a mobile phone company and wireless service provider that has been fighting to protect net neutrality for more than a decade, I can tell you that strong net neutrality protections are essential to thriving democracies as well as strong businesses – telecoms included.
In 2015, the FCC established strong, enforceable net neutrality rules to regulate broadband, like landline phones, as a public utility. Just like your phone company can't discriminate or charge you more because of what you believe or say over the phone, classifying broadband under Title II prevents your ISP from picking and choosing what you do online, charging you more for certain content or prioritizing some content over others.
But Donald Trump's FCC sees it differently. Chairman Ajit Pai, who has ties to the same telecommunications industry eager to profit from the repeal of Title II, claims net neutrality is stifling innovation. Without net neutrality rules, he argues, companies will invest more and the internet economy will grow.
This argument is dishonest at best. Broadband investment has increased since 2015. And you only need to look as far as the apps on your phone – Instagram, Netflix and Spotify – to see that internet businesses are thriving. Competition is strong because of, not despite, net neutrality. The rules level the playing field for even the smallest startups to create, invest and grow, not just those with the largest lobbying budgets or market share.
Proponents of doing away with net neutrality think our fears are overblown, but the evidence shows otherwise. A cursory Google search reveals myriad examples of internet providers actively stifling competition to pad their bottom lines. AT&T blocked FaceTime from its mobile service and forced Apple to block Skype from the iPhone. Comcast slowed and blocked peer-to-peer technologies, many major mobile carriers blocked Google Wallet, and a number of small ISPs redirected search traffic to collect referral fees.
Equally troubling is the threat to free speech. Innovations that facilitate civic engagement and help activists organize could be under threat. An AT&T or Comcast could block access to certain political websites or other content with which it disagrees, without notifying customers. That should be troubling for liberals and conservatives alike.
You might think that as a telecom, supporting net neutrality would hurt our bottom line. Quite the contrary: We have been successful because we have stayed true to our values and listened to our customers – and our customers overwhelmingly support net neutrality.
And no matter how the FCC votes today, CREDO Mobile will always fight to protect net neutrality because it's the right thing for our business and for our customers.

Argentina beat France 4-2 on penalties to win World Cup
December 18, 2022 29 No comment
Argentina won the World Cup on Sunday after beating defending champions France 4-2 on penalties, following a dramatic 3-3 draw after extra time, Reuters reports.
Argentina keeper Emiliano Martinez saved Kingsley Coman's penalty and Aurelien Tchouameni fired wide to give Argentina their first world title since 1986, and third overall.
France had come from two goals down to level over 90 minutes with Kylian Mbappe netting twice in two minutes, including an 80th-minute penalty.
The France striker completed his hat-trick in the 118th with another spot-kick after Argentina's Lionel Messi had tapped in for a 3-2 lead in the 109th.
Argentina had gone 2-0 up in the first half with Messi, making a record-breaking 26th World Cup appearance, converting a 23rd-minute penalty.
They struck again with a sublime four-pass counter-attack as Alexis Mac Allister's cutback found Angel Di Maria and he finished well.

The Jungle: Essay Q&A
It takes Jurgis two days to recover from the disappointment of losing the job at the Harvester Trust, but then goes out again to search for work for ten days. He is only able to eat because of the pittance the children give him (which they are earning from selling newspapers).
The family have a little luck, though, when Jouzapas, who is another of Elzbieta's children and has only one leg, is raking the dump for food. A well-dressed woman asks him about his circumstances. She is a 'settlement worker' and comes to their home to see the conditions. After this, the woman sends them food and leaves a letter of introduction for Jurgis to work at a steel mill. The steelworks are fifteen miles away and when he secures a job there he stays in the area all week to save money on transport.
It is extremely dangerous in the steelworks and he has the skin on his hand burned when helping two workers who have been sprayed with liquid fire. At this time, Elzbieta finds a cleaning job and Marija returns to work as a beef trimmer. Just as Jurgis allows himself to feel hopeful again, catastrophe occurs once more. Antanas has died – he drowned in the street.
Chapter Twenty Two begins with Jurgis in shock. He walks out of the family home and carries on walking. Spontaneously, he jumps on to a freight car and travels into the country. This is the first time he has left the city in three years. He alights from the car and immerses himself in a stream and washes his clothes. He even ventures 'to dream that he might get rid of the fertilizer'.
He then sets off walking and stops at a farm to ask if he can buy some food. He is told that they do not feed tramps, so on leaving the property he uproots a hundred young peach trees: ' … from now on he was a fighting man.' He stops at another farm and buys a meal and sleeps in the barn. This farmer offers him work until November. Jurgis asks the farmer if he turns his horses out when the snow comes. The readers are pointedly told that he is 'beginning to think for himself nowadays'.
He continues on his way and his life as a tramp begins. At long last he feels as though he is his own master. In July, he joins a harvesting gang and weeks for two weeks solid. He spends his earnings in a day on debauchery and carries on travelling. This is a complex time for him and his grief for his son is made explicit when he sees the woman of the house he is visiting bathing her baby. At such times he feels like he is in a 'mire of his own vileness'.
Early in the fall, in Chapter Twenty Three, Jurgis sets out for Chicago and brings fifteen dollars with him. He gains work (in a tunnel) after telling the interviewer that he is from Kansas City and has never worked in Chicago. He lies because he is wary of being blacklisted, and is given the job. Once he begins, he discovers that he is working in freight tunnels, which will connect all the big factories when completed. The company owners hope these will undermine the strength of the unions (especially the teamsters).
At this time, Jurgis begins to frequent saloons more often as he now has no family life to consider. His work is dangerous and this is proven when his arm is broken when struck by a loaded car. He spends Christmas in hospital, 'and it was the pleasantest Christmas he had had in America'. He has to leave after two weeks, though, and is unable to find work as his injury is still healing. Because he is not working, he cannot afford his lodgings.
It is now January 1904. He has no overcoat to protect him from the cold and decides to attend a religious revival meeting in order to keep warm. He considers the preachers to be out of touch with 'life' as they talk about sin and redemption. He also views these men as 'part of the order established that was crushing men down and beating them'. This chapter ends with him having spent six days on the streets and being forced into begging through lack of other alternatives.
In Chapter Twenty Four, Jurgis feels that there is no place for him in the world. However, this chapter describes an unusual 'adventure' that begins when he is begging from the theater crowds. He begs from a young, drunk gentleman (Freddie), who then invites Jurgis to his home. Freddie shows him a bundle of notes and Jurgis is tempted to steal from him. He resists this thought, though, and Freddie then peels a note off for Jurgis to pay the fare. It is a hundred- dollar bill. Because of Freddie's drunken state, he either does not care about the amount or has not realized what he has given Jurgis. He is able to keep on to the note as the butler pays the fare when they reach Freddie's home.
Here, Jurgis fully understands how wealthy this young man is and compares the house to 'a hotel or city hall'. It transpires that Freddie's father is Jones, a 'packer', a Beef Trust man. When told about this, Jurgis stammers that yes he has heard of him, as he has previously worked for him. This adventure ends when Freddie falls asleep and the butler ejects Jurgis from the premises.
After the death of Antanas, and Jurgis's spontaneous decision to leave Chicago, we are made privy to his choice to become his own master. This lasts whilst he is able to stay on the road and his lifestyle is made bearable by the warmer weather. He is freer than he has ever been in the United States as he is no longer a slave to the grinding work he is used to. This freedom is made clear in a figurative sense when he strips and immerses himself in a stream. This act has Christian overtones in terms of suggesting Jurgis is washing himself clean of the sins of the world. By washing his clothes and hoping to eradicate the lingering smell of fertilizer, he is also attempting to take control of his destiny – to be his own master.
His return to Chicago allows the narrative to continue its critique of capitalism and the Beef Trust in particular when Jurgis unexpectedly visits the home of Freddie Jones. His father is one of the packers and has made such an immense fortune from the labor of workers such as Jurgis that Freddie is able to dole out hundred-dollar bills without a thought.

YIIK Accused of Plagiarism Again Over More Quotes
by Ryan Pearson on May 30, 2019 at 10:15 AM, EDT
The creator of YIIK: A Postmodern RPG has yet again been accused of plagiarism, this time from the definition of metaphysics.
On May 20th we reported on accusations that YIIK: A Postmodern RPG had been accused of plagiarizing from the works of Haruki Murakami. The game's creator Andrew Allanson responded to us explaining the matter.
In short, Proto Woman (an interdimentional being) was using main character Alex's subconscious to communicate. In this case, with a quote from a book he read.
This new accusation came from games journalist Ryan Brown. On Twitter he noted that more examples of plagiarism had been found, accompanied with the following image:
During our own investigation we attempted to recreate all of the above searches. Sure enough, each one lead to a website that was using explaining the definition of something – usually citing a dictionary.
The first is Proto Woman discussing the Eye of Providence. The enclosed reference appears to be from Urban Dictionary. While not properly cited, we also found the same entry on The Free Dictionary.
Despite stating the article was copied from a Wikipedia article of the same name, the introduction is slightly different (with greater reference to its origins in Christian iconography).
Both instances of dialogue from Vella (regarding metaphysics and epistemology) reference Quizlet (a quiz flash-card website). It seems both of those are using the dictionary term from the 2010 edition of Random House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary. Both of which you can discover via The Free Dictionary's articles on the subjects.
In short, it appears Allanson or others on the development team searched for the dictionary definition of those terms and used them almost directly.
While Proto Woman referencing something Alex may have read yet again, it becomes a little muddier with the very human Vella. As noted in our review, characters will sometimes dump a lot of information about something they know about.
Whether it was unnatural for individual characters to have encyclopedic knowledge on a subject varies on a case by case basis. For example the traumatized Rory would probably become obsessive about subjects related to his sister's disappearance.
