This Is Your Life Expectancy as a Subway Map
Brian Fung
Compared to those near stations in poorer areas, residents near some London Tube stops are likely to live 20 years longer.
MappingLondon.co.uk
Last year's dystopian action flick In Time has Justin Timberlake playing a street rat who suddenly comes into a great deal of money -- only the currency isn't cash, it's time. Hours and minutes of Timberlake's life that can be traded just like dollars and cents in our world. Moving from poor districts to rich ones, and vice versa, requires Timberlake to pay a toll, each time shaving off a portion of his life savings.
Literally paying with your life just to get around town seems like -- you guessed it -- pure science fiction. It's absolute baloney to think that driving or taking a crosstown bus could result in a shorter life (unless you count this). But a project by University College London researchers called Lives on the Line echoes something similar with a map that plots local differences in life expectancy based on the nearest Tube stop.
The trends are largely unsurprising, and correlate mostly with wealth. Britons living in the ritzier West London tend to have longer expected lifespans compared to those who live in the east or the south. Those residing near the Oxford Circus Tube stop have it the easiest, with an average life expectancy of 96 years. Going into less wealthy neighborhoods in south and east London, life expectancy begins to drop -- though it still hovers in the respectable range of 78-79.
Meanwhile, differences in life expectancy between even adjacent stations can be stark. Britons living near Pimlico are predicted to live six years longer than those just across the Thames near Vauxhall. There's about a two-decade difference between those living in central London compared to those near some stations on the Docklands Light Railway, according to the BBC. Similarly, moving from Tottenham Court Road to Holborn will also shave six years off the Londoner's average life expectancy.
Michael Marmot, a UCL professor who wasn't involved in the project, put the numbers in international perspective.
"The difference between Hackney and the West End," Marmot told the BBC, "is the same as the difference between England and Guatemala in terms of life expectancy."
While we're on the subject of global comparisons, here's hoping the folks behind Life on the Line turn to plotting life expectancy on top of the subway maps of other major cities. As a resident of Washington, D.C., I know which one I'd want to see most. Which metro areas would be at the top of your list?

consolation, courage, elderly, illness, old age, resilience, spirituality
When death and illness become a part of everyday life
"Old age is a bummer" a dear friend of mine said as she arrived for lunch the other day. Well, she actually said something rather stronger, but you get the gist. And that is so true. She's going through medical problems and trying to work through the complexities of our National Health Service, so, yes, it is a bummer, for her, and for many of us.
Few people warn you about the challenges of old age – although my dear sister did advise me to make the most of my sixties as everything would get worse in my seventies! And how true that has been. But most of us don't like to think about it, do we, old age or vulnerability, until it lands on us?
Every week now we hear of a friend who is ill, or someone who dies. I hadn't realized how resilient I was going to need to be at this age, and, looking back, I realize I probably wasn't as understanding of my mother when her friends were dying as I could have been. I do remember, when working on the biography of Harold Macmillan, how lonely he found it, in his nineties, being one of the few people left of his generation.
So, how do we become resilient within this environment, especially as the medical services seem to have pretty much collapsed, and we are warned that social services are unlikely to be able to provide care for us later, even if we do have enough money to scrabble together to pay for it?
To plan or not to plan, that is the question. Whether it is easier to admit defeat and pack up one's things and move to a smaller house, or flat, or bungalow, or transfer to one of those posh blocks where they provide restaurants and swimming pools and medical suites if one has the money. Or bury one's head in the sand and continue as one is?
Of course, our children worry about us falling down the stairs, fracturing something, and making our old age a drama that no one can easily manage. But many of us aren't ready to give up our lifestyle or our homes. The homes aren't particularly big but may not be totally practical when we become old and gaga and can no longer climb the stairs, etc. Yet old age often also brings the joys of grandchildren, and one does want a living space large enough to allow them to stay. Indeed, inevitably we want to hold on to the life we are having for as long as possible, be close to our friends and do the things we enjoy doing while we can.
We moved to a smaller house a few years ago, in an area that I consider to be perfect for this time of our life as we are three minutes from the tube, a pharmacy, doctors, Tesco and village shops, plus we have Kew Gardens to walk in. However, it is on three floors and right now my knee is playing up and it takes me quite some time to walk up, or down, to answer the door. What if I need a new hip, how will I manage then?
But on the other hand, one could say that the stairs keep us fit. A friend of mine whose father lived in the States in a residential home with a lift, completely lost his capacity to climb up even one set of stairs.
So, I guess it is about living in the moment but keeping an eye on the future. For sure, thinking about what one wants in the last days of one's life, making that living will, ensuring one's will is totally fair and can be easily understood and executed. For myself, I believe in talking to my children about my wishes should I suddenly be taken ill or incapacitated. Others don't want to have these conversations. Fair enough. There's no perfect way to live, no perfect way to die.
But for me, also, in order to become resilient enough to keep happy within these changes of old age, it is about touching a sense of the intangible in life, the spiritual, or whatever you want to call it. The small but powerful essence inside us that accepts that life is finite and wants to find some kind of peace and grace within oneself, and with life and relationships, before one moves on to whatever there might be on the other side, even if that is nothing. For me, this takes some solitude, peaceful music, time in nature, time with grandchildren who have that essence somehow still inside of them, and of course spending time with their parents, one's own children! What is more precious than this?
I recommend, again, Michael Ignatieff's book On Consolation, which has many examples of how those who have faced illness and death found some consolation and courage to manage it. This can be through writing or journaling, music, prayer, one's marriage, family. friends. As we think of this, it feels important to consider the legacy we want to leave, the memories we would like people to hold of us, the events that may help them think warmly of us and the times we have spent together.
Those ripples last a lifetime. My grandmother died when I was 17 yet I still remember her every day with such love and affection, remember the times we played cards together, watched horse races, went for walks with our dog. And so, of course, I hope that when I am long-gone, my gorgeous grandchildren will have a few happy memories of the times we are having now, too.
belonging, community, country, Jubilee, loyalty, monarchy, Platinum Jubilee, pride, Queen Elizabeth II
There was a feeling last weekend, with the celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee, that we came together as a country, putting aside some differences for a brief spell. That, in our respect and gratitude for a woman who has dedicated her life to the service of us all, in the best way she could, we were drawn together, whether we were monarchists or not.
Yes, of course you can say that she has lived in luxury and been taken care of well by those who work for her. Yet would you wish to be so much in the public eye as she has been, as much as all those who are in the Royal family are? I certainly wouldn't. I would hate it. The normal things that befall many of us – tragedies, parenting, divorce, conflicts – are all carried out in front of us, at the mercy of the judgement and criticism of the crowd, then chewed over and talked of for years, in the media across the world.
Some people were saying that the flag-waving was old-hat, that it belonged to a past era of British history and was somehow distasteful. I would ask them to look around at other countries and notice that we seem to be far less critical of others taking pride in their nations, than we are of ourselves. The Italians, French, Spanish and many nations wave flags happily on specific days of the year, and the tribal aspect of football or rugby matches is clear for us all to see. I don't see there is anything wrong with this, unless it becomes so insular that it excludes others or leads to invasions of other territories.
We can surely value a sense of belonging in our land, perhaps the place we were born, but certainly in the place we live. It is a natural human sentiment and rises above politics or monarchy or republicanism. It is about the place, the land, the people who live in it. And that's what we saw last weekend as communities came together to arrange celebrations, to talk with one another and celebrate together.
For whatever government is in power, we can be proud of and loyal to the country in which we live. There has been so much endless criticism and backbiting in recent years in the UK and I believe it comes from people mistaking the leader of a political party with a country. One may criticise Boris Johnson and yet still love England. One may have detested President Trump and yet still have a great affection for America. They aren't the same thing. The Government is temporary, and of course it can shape what is happening in a country, but it is by no means the whole story.
The divisions that have occurred over recent years are more marked than in previous eras and it saddens me. There were more cross-party friendships in times gone by, there was more friendly debate and discussion between people with different opinions, less of the echo chamber that has evolved from social media. I hope we can go back to this as the tendency to think of those who don't agree with us as 'bad people' is unhealthy. It is as bigoted as those we accuse of being bigots. It means we are closed, not willing to open up to new ideas, to admit we might be wrong, or that we might learn something from others, even if we don't change our opinion on a subject.
In her 1991 Christmas broadcast, the Queen said "Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly of wisdom." Wise words and words that lead us to be open and question, rather than close our ears and imagine we know everything in some self-righteous way. A little humility goes a long way.
The endless criticism of the UK is self-destructive. You can be sure that not everyone in Ukraine supported President Zelensky when the war started out in February, yet when their country was under attack by Russia the Ukrainians came together in their pride of place, willing to fight and die for their country. This sense of loyalty goes far deeper than any political party. It's visceral.
Perhaps we can learn from it and realize that politics is important but ultimately all political parties come and go and, ultimately, also all of them are, in their own ways nonetheless striving for better health, better education and peace for their nations. We can all disagree about the ways to achieve these goals but let's not fight amongst ourselves so fiercely in the process.
The history of civilization is a history of warfare and brutality. Read about life in this country only a few centuries ago and realize that it was bleak, a very basic way of living, and that we have come a long way, through hard work, scientific and medical breakthroughs, and teamwork. We are an extraordinarily diverse country in comparison to the year of the Coronation, and most of the time we get along pretty well. Walking around London one knows that one is mixing with people from all over the world, with a huge variety of opinions and political loyalties, and yet we get along, enjoying the privilege of living in one of the most civilised countries of the world, in an era of unprecedented comfort and peace. Long may it remain that way.
I think there was a great sense of gratitude to the Queen in the celebrations last weekend, and also a question of whether people would have felt the same if it had been President Johnson or President Starmer. Does an elected president have that same continuity, I question?
Nothing is perfect but gratitude goes a long way to make us happy and cooperative. Focusing on an appreciation of what we do have, even in the midst of challenges such as inflation and high prices, is far better for our mental health than focusing on lack. We have rather torn ourselves apart in recent years, and the cancel culture in which we live does not help.
As Kenneth Clark said in his programme Civilisation "We can destroy ourselves with cynicism and disillusion just as effectively as by bombs." Let's not do that. As the Queen said in her 2008 Christmas broadcast "When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future." Let's do that now, to the best of our abilities.
1960s, best years of our lives? Justin Webb, friendship, school reunion, schools
The Best Days?
I have been reading Justin Webb's excellent autobiography, The Gift of a Radio, My Childhood and other Train Wrecks. He is younger than I am by about nine years, and yet much of what he writes about his childhood and school years sparks memories for me, especially as we have just had a school reunion of my own school, Cranborne Chase, where I spent my days, for better or worse, from 1962-67.
One of the topics that was raised at our school reunion was how unkind we had been to our teachers, recognising all these years later, that several of them had suffered horribly during the war, if not in battle, then in concentration camps, through displacement, or just in keeping the home fires burning. We girls, born in 1950, knew little of this, other than the stories we gleaned from parents or grandparents and were often left confused by what was not said rather than what was said. As Webb writes, we eventually woke up to what had happened to these teachers through war films or, later, through the superb series The World at War with its images of scorched buildings and Laurence Olivier saying, "nobody lives here now."
How those words symbolise the way in which our lives have turned circles. We grew up in the aftermath of World War II and experienced for ourselves the Cold War and the threat of nuclear holocaust through the Cuban Missile Crisis. And here we are again, with Putin, his hand on the red button, threatening the world with oblivion. We were able to laugh about it later, watching Dr Strangelove, but it is no laughing matter seeing all the scorched buildings in Ukraine and wondering where this will lead us as we are, once again, going to sleep fearing that there may be nuclear holocaust.
Despite the fears, my year group agreed that we had been lucky in so many ways, to live in that post-war era and experience the optimism of the 60s as teenagers, to go to a school that encouraged us to think and question, although it really didn't prepare us in any way for academic life or, in fact, for life in any way. We arrived in the world as innocents, wondering what we were supposed to be doing, caught between the 1950s messages that woman should be in the kitchen, and the feminist writings of Simone de Beauvoir and later Germaine Greer. Most of us had been given the message that we should become wives as soon as possible and I think none of us had been given any useful career advice at all.
Despite this, I think we were all delighted to see how each one of us had ploughed an interesting course. The school was very arty and musical. I was good at neither but, with a young Harrison Birtwhistle as our Head of Music, I was infused by the love of music and art and many of my year group had become musicians, artists and sculptors. For myself, as a writer, we were lucky enough to have Stevie Smith visit, and the Liverpool poets among many others. Some of us became teachers, one, in all her modesty, a Dame, and some professionals. One way or another, our minds and hearts were stimulated, and how lucky we were in that.
But, of course, there were those who were unhappy at the school, and much is written about the damage that boarding school does to one – cold dormitories shared with a bunch of strangers miles from one's parents and having to find one's one way through the whole experience. But in that we found friendship. We may have been beastly to our teachers, in a St Trinian's sort of way, but we agreed that we were seldom, if ever, beastly to one another.
So, if the school reunion has the potential for giving us anything, what I found, sitting in a room with my year group over fifty years after we left school, was that our support and friendship for one another was still palpable and, whether we see one another again or not, this friendship has provided, I think, a strength at the core of us that helps us withstand the tragedies and mishaps that have befallen us in our lives, as well as the moments of success. For that I believe, we are eternally grateful.

The Middle of Things
Photo by Lachlan Dempsey on Unsplash
So are we in the middle, the late middle or the early-ending of our lives, I wonder? Probably the early-end, for as the days go by the odds stack against it being the middle.
We drive the same paths, sing the same songs, and yet our minds and bodies are an ever-expanding network of experiences, sadnesses, joys, anticipations, regrets, and, yet, there is still hope, for without hope it would surely turn into some kind of an end. Yet hope for what? A better future? That is quite hard to maintain as one ages and fears for one's children and grandchildren in this world where war rages and where climate change eats up the resources we need for survival.
But hope we must, for it is hope that leads to innovation, to enterprise, to believing in a better future, or the creation of a better implement, or software system, or scientific solution, or a better way to heal the sick, or educate our children. Without hope there would be no new enterprise, no new business, no policies, no books written or artwork painted.
Though in moments of hope-lessness there can be beautiful poems written, paintings created, music composed.
A terminal diagnosis puts us close to the end, though no one can be sure when the end will be, unless one chooses to go to Switzerland. So it may still be a sort-of middle but equally a beginning – the beginning of a journey of experience through that diagnosis and one never knows when the middle occurs, perhaps until the very end when one might reflect that one has been through the middle of that journey last week or last month.
But a sudden death throws someone straight into an ending. There was a beginning, of that person's life, but they never knew when or whether they were in the middle, or the late middle, until the end is ruthlessly thrown at them.
In Ukraine they lived lives at many stages of beginning, middle and end but were then all flung into the beginning, of a war, and terror, and none of them know whether they are still at the beginning, in the middle, or moving more quickly towards an end. But what might that end look like? That is a cliff-hanger.
So we live on a cliff-hanger every day of our life, somewhere between beginnings and middles, in life, career, marriage, parenthood, illness, crossing a road, until we reach the end. And some of us will be conscious that we are at that end and others may never know.
Frozen, humanity, leadership, Let it Go, support, tragedy, Ukraine, war
We can't Let it Go
This morning I watched a short clip of a young Ukrainian girl, Ankita Jain, singing Let it Go, from Frozen. She sang to her family and companions in an underground bomb shelter. It was heartbreaking, as I thought of my granddaughters, and other children around the world, singing this same song in the safety of their homes. I am sure parents and grandparents of small children everywhere will be as moved by this as I was.
There are common threads with children throughout the world nowadays that didn't exist in the same way when we were young. The Harry Potter books, Disney movies and songs transcend language, place, and culture. We can be brought together through the childish delight of story, imagination, and dreams. And, of course, Russian children love these too, I am sure. But to see the fear and sadness on the faces of the Ukrainian children sheltering or running from Russian bombs is heartbreaking, and makes it very difficult to feel we can continue to sit and watch this war, without somehow taking more action. But how to do this without triggering something far worse?
In our creative writing courses, we are reflecting on the middle of things, on how beginnings, whether of events, stories, relationships, can be dramatic, full of hope, or, alternatively, as in Ukraine, dramatic but shocking. Endings bring things to a conclusion, either a happy one, disappointing maybe, or tragic. But the middle is where the uncertainty lies, where there are more questions than answers, where one doesn't know whether the decisions and actions one is taking are the right ones or the wrong ones, whether they will lead one towards that happy conclusion or towards something one can't even begin to imagine. And right now we are in the middle of things.
It made me think about how we can become desensitised to information when we watch it endlessly on television screens, and how important it is not to allow this to happen. We cannot let this war go into some kind of normality, because to be invaded and bombed by an aggressive neighbour with an occupying force is not something anybody deserves. We have become too complacent over recent decades, imagining, or not even bothering to think hard enough, about the fact that the world does throw up dictators from time to time and we need to be awake to that fact. Perhaps we were too comfortable, having reached a place in the free world where life is fairly easy for the majority, despite inequalities. Putin has never truly masked his intentions, for anybody looking.
It is important, of course, to give ourselves some respite from the ghastliness of this war, of watching the suffering of the Ukrainian people, the ruthlessness of Putin. It is important to enjoy the day we have been given ourselves, to be grateful for a home, a comfortable bed, hot running water, drinking water, working drains and food. Yet not to forget about what is happening in this not-so-distant country where people were enjoying all those same simple needs themselves only a short time ago. We cannot allow ourselves to be anesthetised to unfolding events. We must keep watching.
I hope that those who develop the legal and political structures and requirements of the institutions of government learn, yet again too late, that dictators should not be allowed to change a constitution to enable them to rule for long periods without a democratic vote. Francis Fukuyama wrote that the end of history might be said to have been reached by liberal democracy, but the reality is that we cannot ignore psychology or the human condition. To do so is both ignorant and naïve. There are bad people in this world, as has been witnessed in many different areas of the globe throughout history, for whom power is the goal. Yet again, government officials should review the checks and balances of their institutional systems to ensure that these people do not get into powerful positions where we end up in a state where one ruthless man paralyses the rest of the world into a position where they do not know what to do. I have written before about how wrong it is, in my opinion, that people can rise in politics without all the psychological profiling, qualifications and references that one needs to prove when applying for a job in business. There seems to be extraordinarily little professional development, 360 degree-feedback systems, or challenges to prevent the people who lead the countries of the world becoming bullies and dictators.
In this war, it is so difficult to know where there is a compromise to be had in this situation. As a Ukrainian said on the radio last week, if an invasion force came into the UK would you be happy just to give away Wales or Scotland? Of course not. So, the Russians should not be allowed to annex the Eastern areas without a democratic vote on the subject. Sanctions and actions against oligarchs may make an impact in the longer term though the oligarchs can be prey to the Kremlin's henchmen too, of course, so may not have as much influence as is imagined.
A week ago, I was fretting about whether I could write certain things about free speech in my blogs. Today this seems petty, and yet it isn't because what happens in our personal everyday lives remains important. But now the priority has changed, and I feel so helpless as I watch this young child sing in her bomb shelter, watch families run from the bombs. We give money, we sanction, we pray, but, in this middle part of this war, where we know not its outcome, we cannot let it go.
cancel culture, freedom of speech, woke
How the hell did this happen?
The writer and provocateur, P.J.O'Rourke, has just died this week. He wrote a book called How the Hell did this Happen? and I wake up every day and wonder the same thing.
How is it that, after a century where women's rights progressed beyond all expectations, in the West anyway, our rights are now being depleted day by day? That women's spaces are being infringed, women pushed aside in their own sports competitions, the words that describe women are being deleted, porn sites are encouraging sadistic practices that endanger a woman's life, misogynistic practices still exist in police and government circles?
How is it that in an ante-natal class questionnaire the options given were "Pregnant Person, Father, Other Parent, Support Person, Other…" yet the person who is actually giving birth, eg the Mother, gets no word to tick in that questionnaire? How the hell did this happen?
How is it that Professors and academics in universities worldwide are being subjected to horrific harassment for stating facts? That they are being surrounded by chanting students, dressed in black balaclavas, and hounded out of their jobs by young people who seemingly have nothing to lose, as there is no redress against them for what is outrageous, violent, and unacceptable behaviour? In previous times I am sure they would have been 'sent down' as the phrase went. Wouldn't they? And why not now? I heard a teacher of twelve-year olds comment that 'the boys are out of control'. Again, are professional lecturers and qualified teachers to be bullied by children who know little of the world?
How the hell is it that J K Rowling, who has lit up the minds of children across the world and got them reading books of several hundred pages, is now cancelled because she spoke facts about womanhood? That Professor Kathleen Stock is hounded out of her job for a similar reason, that the poet and writer Kate Clanchy is cancelled because she dared to describe a pupil of hers as having 'almond-shaped eyes' yet Monica Ali in her latest book Love Marriage describes a character as having 'almond-shaped eyes' and yet I haven't heard a movement to get Monica Ali cancelled?
How is it that when someone makes a simple statement, as Adele did recently, that she loves being a woman, she is suddenly accused of being transphobic? Surely, we have been endeavouring for some time to get young girls to celebrate being women in order to feel empowered? Enjoying being a woman, or enjoying being a man, does not mean that you are anti those who do not identify in this way.
How is it that students of books by Shakespeare, Jane Austen and many others are being given trigger warnings in case they read something that they might find offensive? Surely that is the point of books – to draw attention to the many different facets of humanity. We cannot whitewash history or whitewash the reality of human behaviour and the human condition, without failing in our efforts to educate young people about the history of the world. Depending on your nationality, sex, creed and colour, the past may have been misrepresented, and it is right to correct this, but we cannot change the past or wipe it out, or we learn nothing.
Yet how is it that young children today, who are blameless of the specific crime, are being harangued in their classrooms, and blamed for slavery, racism, colonialism, and imperialism that occurred over a hundred years ago? How can this be anything other than divisive?
There is little logic in these arguments we are 'waking up' to. There is endless contradiction.
For how is it that if only Jewish actors should play Jews in theatre or film productions then surely only people of colour should play people of colour, and therefore, with that logic, only white people should play white people? Which is where this all began … because our history in this country consists of mainly white inhabitants, but this left actors of other ethnic origins without parts (just as were there to be plays put on in Africa there would be few parts for white actors). So theatre directors started to open up the possibilities, where male parts were acted by females, where English kings or queens were played by people of colour, even though this is not accurate to history. Surely any actor should be able to play any part because that is what acting is all about? Isn't that diversity, rather than narrowing down the pool of actors to Jews or Catholics or anything else? Where is the logic here?
How is it that writers are told they can only write characters similar to their own ethnicity and lifestyle for fear of being accused of 'cultural misappropriation'? This removes all fiction from our shelves, basically, as each book would only be able to have one character. Inevitably writers of fiction have to inhabit the characters of people of different genders, race, age, backgrounds and more. These dictats make no logical sense in the creative process. Nor does the fact that a white model can be berated for cultural misappropriation if she braids her hair but when a person of colour dyes their hair blonde, or straightens it, they are not accused of cultural misappropriation.
How is it that if women are to be referred to as "people who menstruate" there is no call so far to refer to men as "people who ejaculate"?
How is it that we are not judging works of art by the artwork itself but by the artist's perceived flaws? Why can works of art be removed, plays discarded, books banned from library shelves, words deleted, by some anonymous, often junior, board of judges with little life experience? They make these decisions like an invisible mob, but, again, often with many contradictory arguments as their so-called 'evidence'. Yet that evidence is not seriously questioned by frightened academics or wary politicians who do not want to lose voters; the often flimsy and ill-considered 'evidence' is not put through any just legal process or investigation.
How is it that the statues to slave traders are removed but there is very little protest on the streets about the modern-day slave trading, or today's appalling treatment of citizens in various parts of the world by people of their own race or creed? Why this endless harking back to previous centuries, instead of honestly facing the problems we see today in various parts of the world?
We only have to see what ISIS or Al-Shabab are doing in Africa, Mali or Mozambique, where it is not about race but about terrorism/religion, to wonder why there is not more coverage and protest at the barbarous brutality that is being meted out in these parts of the world? There was almost no coverage of the barbaric murder by ISIS of mothers and babies in the maternity unit of an Afghan hospital last year.
How is it that those concerned for the climate can blockade the M25 and mess up the day of thousands of ordinary people but don't take the trouble and expense to go to Moscow and blockade Putin's roads in protest at his pollution of the climate through his military manoeuvres?
Are we seeing trigger warnings for The Kite Runner, or A Thousand Splendid Suns? I haven't noticed that we are, yet, despite being well-written and informative, they are deeply upsetting books. But not written by writers who can be accused of white privilege.
The depressing, undemocratic fact is that these protesters are trying to disrupt our society and they seem to have enough spare time to try to destroy the institutions of law, the police, and government by focusing on history, on the past, and by undermining trust in the way things are run. Of course, there are bad things that go on but there always have been bad things going on and we continue, as human beings, to endeavour to address them and improve matters. Surely, we can find ways to live together that do not divide or cancel?
We should not be frightened into silence or agreement, we should not shrug our shoulders and disregard these infringements of our rights and liberties for that would be going back to the 1930s, to Nazis, or the Stasi, or to the incarceration in gulags of poets and writers during the Cold War, and we all know what atrocities happened after those early book burning mobs were not stopped.
We absolutely cannot let that happen again, for those periods of history were, indeed, utter hell.

Unlike a traditional funeral, a memorial service is a gathering where a casket is not present (although the urn with the cremated remains may be on display). A memorial service can be held weeks or even months after the death.
A memorial service can be held in a church, the funeral home or a community hall, or somewhere of importance to the deceased and family. There is usually music, selected readings, and a eulogy. Memorial services can be further personalized as a celebration-of-life.
Memorial Service Ideas
Our experience has shown us that many of today's families want more than a traditional funeral. This can be done by bringing more of the personality and lifestyle of the deceased into the arrangements. By displaying photographs or staging the event around a favorite pastime, a memorial service can become more personal and meaningful.
If a personalized memorial service suits the needs of your family, we suggest you consider the following questions:
What did your loved one like to do?
What was he or she like as an individual?
What was their profession and how did that shape their life?
Was your loved one spiritual?
Was he or she proud of their cultural or ethnic heritage?
We're Here to Advise, Assist, and Guide You
Using the above five questions as our guide, we will spend the time to help create a fitting memorial service for your loved one. Please call us to learn the details of our memorial service planning process.
Rather than opting to do things "the same old way", many families today want to celebrate the life of a loved one. Many funeral service professionals see this change as one of the many contributions to social change made by "Baby Boomers". The National Funeral Directors Association notes, "As baby boomers age and find themselves having to plan funerals for loved ones and themselves, they are making funeral choices based on values that are different than previous generations. Baby boomers see funerals as a valuable part of the grieving process and are seeking ways to make them meaningful." If you too desire to make the funeral for a loved one more engaging and personally meaningful, a celebration-of-life may be the perfect concept to build on.
How Does a Celebration of Life Differ from a Traditional Funeral?
As mentioned in the page Traditional Funeral Services, there are four basic components which make up the conventional approach to funerals:
A Visitation
A Committal Service
The Funeral Reception
A traditional funeral then is a series of events; it's a ritualized process where the deceased, and the attendees, pass from one social status to another; a process where the torn fabric of a family and community is repaired. According to the online article "Six Characteristics of Helpful Ceremonies", by William Hoy, Director of Grief Connect, this is done by including:
Symbols of shared significance intended to communicate beyond words
Ritual actions shared by a group of individuals
Gathered people providing comfort to one another
Connection to heritage through recognized readings
Increased physical contact between attendees provide comfort
Witnessing the transition of the body through burial or cremation
In knowing these characteristics, you can design a Celebration of Life as unique as the life of your loved. Learn how to create a Celebration of Life.
For families who have chosen cremation for a loved one, the next decision involves what to do with the remains. Some choose to keep the cremated remains in their home, have them placed in a columbarium niche at a local cemetery, or scatter the ashes in a meaningful place.
Ash Scattering
Cremation provides families with more time to arrange where and how to scatter the ashes. While there is no policing agency overseeing scattering, there are some basics you should know:
If you plan on scattering ashes on private property, it's smart to receive written permission from the owner.
Public parks require that you obtain a scattering permit.
There are no regulations regarding ash scattering on uncontrolled public lands; you need to use your own judgment.
You should not scatter ashes within 100 yards of public roads or trails.
The cremation container must be disposed of separately and in an environmentally-safe manner.
Scattering ashes in inland waters is governed by the Clean Water Act so it's important to obtain a permit from the agency that oversees waterways.
Ash scattering at sea must be done at a minimum of three nautical miles from the coastline.
Any flowers or wreaths used in the ash scattering ceremony held at sea must decompose. No plastic flowers or other non-decomposable items should be left behind.
For ash scattering done at sea, the Environmental Protection Agency requires that you notify the regional office in writing within 30 days after the event.
How to Scatter Ashes
Cremated remains bear little resemblance to ashes; they look and behave a lot like small-grained gravel. However, there are some fine-grains mixed in so be sure to check the wind direction before scattering into the air or a body of water.
The technique of trenching is another option. Dig a small trench in the location of your choice, place the remains (or a biodegradable urn containing the ashes) within, and cover with soil.
Raking is another technique used. Pour the remains on the surface of the soil and use a rake to mix the ashes.
You may also wish to check out our selection of scattering urns prior to making plans for your ceremony. Should you need advice on how to design a meaningful ceremony, feel free to call us .
Telling the story of a life.
It is a surprising fact that most people who attend a funeral do not know the deceased very well, or at all. They come to the service in support of a friend who has lost a parent or other relative, or in sympathy for a co-worker or neighbor. A funeral is a time to remember a loved one as a person who had interests, hobbies, and accomplishments. That is why we believe each funeral should tell the story of the life that has been lived.
Excellence in funeral service.
Since we specialize in making every funeral as personal and expressive as possible, we listen carefully to family members during the planning conference, and then recommend many touching and dignified ways to tell the important story of the life that has been lived. In addition to personalized caskets, urns, and other merchandise, we often ask families to consider:
Memory tables with a display of personal items.
Photo boards that include images of the person's life, pursuits, and loved ones.
Tribute videos — a touching commemoration produced with photos from the person's life, edited together with music.
Special music with your loved one's "favorite song," or other selection that carries special memories and meaning.
Personal clothing…Often, we dress a loved one in the jersey of his favorite team, a military uniform, or the apron she loved to wear while cooking for the family.
Keepsakes, Thumbies® and jewelry -such as lockets, charms, pendants, and other jewelry, and many other types of mementos, as well. These items are perfect to store a portion of the cremated remains, a lock of hair, or earth from the gravesite.
Special requests…We have helped families carry out some unique wishes. Please do not hesitate to discuss these needs with us, because we will do everything possible to accommodate you.
In our selection room, we have set aside an area for personalization items and ideas. Please ask to see these interesting, satisfying, and dignified ways to communicate the unique personality of your loved one. We will be happy to show you the complete selection.

Joint CFP: British Women Writers Conference & Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies Special Issue
CFP: Work and Leisure: 23rd Annual RSVP Conference (2/1, 7/22 – 7/23/2011)
Research Society for Victorian Periodicals
43rd Annual Conference
Canterbury Christ Church University, UK
22 – 23 July 2011
Much of the Victorian Press was built on an interdependency of work and leisure. Texts designed for consumption in leisure hours were created by armies of workers: authors, illustrators and editors, of course, but also printers' devils, water-colourists, photographers, ad agents, newsvendors, street sellers, and a host of others. Who exactly were these labourers and how were they organised?
Then, what was the "leisure" that they promoted and how different was it from work? Reading the press is obviously an insufficient answer. Reading could be work for teachers, reviewers or those trying to entertain children or colleagues. To what extent, indeed, was leisure a ruse? How far did the Victorian press inscribe women's domestic labour as a form of leisure, or male work as pleasurable? More generally, how did the press fit into the wider context of the entertainment industry: the theatre, travel, music, exhibitions, sport and shopping?
Not all of the press was devoted to leisure and its limits. What of that enormous sector that unashamedly named their focus as work-related: the trade and professional press, newspaper pages devoted to the stock market and commodity prices, articles worrying over women in the workplace, over the masculinity of the civil servant, or over the demands of labourers on strike?
Finally, what of the "cultural work" of the Victorian press? What was the function of the press in and on society? How might that cultural work relate to the pleasures of leisure?
Suggested themes include but are not limited to:
Technologies and economies of production, distribution and consumption
The cultural work of the Victorian press
Trade and professional publications
The nature and locations of labour and leisure as they pertain to the press
The culture industries in the press, including travel, theatre, concerts, exhibitions, sport
Holiday Supplements
As always, the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals invites proposals for papers that address any aspect of nineteenth-century British magazines or newspapers, although those dealing with the conference theme are particularly welcome.
Submissions: Please e-mail two-page (maximum) proposals for individual presentations or panels of three to Dr Clare Horrocks (C.L.Horrocks@ljmu.ac.uk) and Dr Andrew King (andrew.king@canterbury.ac.uk). Please include a one-page C.V. with relevant publications, teaching, and/or coursework. Final papers should take 15 minutes (20 minutes maximum) to present. The deadline for submissions is February 1st 2011.
As well as favourable rates for postgraduate students, there is also the opportunity to apply for FIVE postgraduate prizes, provided with the support of the British Association for Victorian Studies and Ashgate. Full details are available under the tab "Postgraduate Bursaries".
Keynote Speaker: We are also pleased to announce that the Michael Wolff Keynote Speaker this year will be: Dr John Drew (University of Buckingham), director of the pioneering digitisation project "Dickens Journals Online."

The Welfenmausoleum in Hannover
Churches & Graves Travel
April 25, 2017 May 4, 2019 NettyRoyalLeave a Comment on The Welfenmausoleum in Hannover
Some royal mausoleums are open regularly, some once in a while and others are never open. The Welfenmausoleum in the Berggarten of Hannover, opposite the Herrenhausen Palace, used to be open in the past. But who would like to visit it now, will hear it is not open. Really a pity for people like me who are interested in royal history, but also understandable as of course these buildings are a burial place. The first time I was in Hannover me and a friend actually missed going into the Berggarten, so of course I went in the next time I was there to search for the mausoleum.
The order to build the small 'temple' was given by King Ernst August I of Hannover (1771-1851) – son of King George III of Great Britain – after the death of his wife Friederike, a born Princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. It took the court master builder Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves from 1842 to 1847 to realise the plans. The sculptor of the monument for Friederike inside the mausoleum was Christian Daniel Rauch. After his death also King Ernst August I was buried here in the vault. Their sarcopaghi can however be found in the grave chapel. In World War II the Leineschloss in Hannover was destroyed by bombs, and therefore on 5 December 1957 8 (according to the Hannover website; 11 according to some other websites) other sarcopaghi were transferred to the Mausoleum.
According to a stone outside the mausoleum resting here now are:
Johann Friedrich, Duke of Hannover (1625-1679).
Ernst August, Elector of Hannover (1629-1698).
Sophie, Electress of Hannover (1629-1696).
Georg I, Elector of Hannover (1660-1727), King of Great Britain and Ireland since 1714.
Ernst August , King of Hannover (1771-1851).
Friederike, Queen of Hannover (1778-1841).
Others buried here are according to Wikipedia:
Anna Sophie, Princess of Brunswick-Lüneburg (1670-1672), daughter of Duke Johann Friedrich.
Ernst August, Prince-Bishop of Osnabrück, Duke of York and Albany (1674-1728).
Charlotte, Princess of Clarence (1819-1819), daughter of the later King William IV of Great Britain and Ireland, King of Hannover.
Marie-Friederike Countess zu Solms-Braunfels (1833-1845), granddaughter of King Ernst August I.
But please if you face the mausoleum, don't forget to look what is behind you. Outside are two gravestones. These are the ones of the last Duke of Brunswick (Braunschweig) and Lüneburg, Prince of Hannover, Ernst August III (1887-1953). He reigned from 1913 to 1918 and was married to Princess Viktoria Luise, daughter of Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany. The couple married in 1913, the last huge European gathering of sovereigns before the First World War. Viktoria Luise was the last person to be buried here – outside – in 1980.
Outside on the mausoleum wall by the way is also a plaque commemorating George V (1819-1876), who rests at Windsor, Great Britain.

KOZHIKODE, FEBRUARY 11: VP Suhair had a standout performance against Mohun Bagan at Salk Lake, where he wore captain's armband to lead Malabarians to a spirited draw in Kolkata.
Though the match ended in a 2-2 draw, the players fought well to earn a crucial point against the side coached by Khalid Jamil. In the match, Suhair had impressive statistics of 38 passes, one assist, 12 successful challenges and seven dribbles.
The number of passes and the challenges is outstanding for a striker in the I-League and he also had a well-drilled, amazing assist to Marcus Joseph. The forward, who comes from Edathanattukara in Palakkad believes the spirited display was because he was motivated by being the captain of the team for the first time.
"It instilled a great amount of confidence in me. I had a good match there. We could have won it. My teammates fought well and collectively to come up with a telling performance," said Suhair, who is back in the city after their exhaustive Real Kashmir match.
In the Real Kashmir match, Suhair came in as a 60-th minute substitute. However, he was restrained by the ground conditions. He was not able to play his key ground passes, in which he had fared well at Kolkata.
"I understood it would be very tough for Suhair. He is a fantastic player with the ball but I wanted to play high balls. So I decided to bench him and start with players who have height. However, nothing worked as the weather was so bad and the ball was not moving," said Gift Raikhan, the technical director.
"The conditions were there horrible for us. It was very cold there and we were not able to adapt to it. For some of us, it took two days to breath properly. During the match it was snowing heavily and the ground became unplayable. After initial minutes our players started to struggle with the conditions. Even the foreigners found it difficult," said Suhair.
Suhair now looks for better results in the upcoming matches. "We need to win all the matches. The team has the ability to do so. We need to push for it and we will do it," said the forward.
Gokulam Kerala FC play Indian Arrows at EMS Corporation Stadium in Kozhikode on February 16th at 5 PM.

Meet the four new cast members for Elite season 4
By Sam Damshenas
Netflix have unveiled the new cast members for Elite's upcoming fourth season.
In May, the streaming service shocked fans when they announced the departure of five major stars: Mina El Hammani (Nadia); Danna Paola Lucrecia (Lu); Ester Expósito (Carla); Álvaro Rico (Polo) and Jorge López (Valerio).
Mina, Danna, Ester and Álvaro have all been with the series since the first season, while Jorge joined in season two. Since the news, fans have been waiting in anticipation to find out which actors will take their place and make their Las Encinas debut.
On Twitter (20 July), Elite's official account welcomed Manu Rios, Carla Díaz, Martina Cariddi and Pol Granch to the "Élite family" and shared photos of the new cast on set with Itzan Escamilla (Samu), Miguel Bernardeau (Guzmán), Arón Piper (Ander), Omar Shana (Omar), Claudia Salas (Rebeca) and Georgina Amorós (Cayetana).
In a press release, Netflix said the stars will be "part of the universe of Las Encinas, one way or the other," and that their characters "will cross paths with Guzmán, Samuel, Ander, Omar, Rebeca and Cayetana."
There's no official release date for Elite season four, but if it follows in the footsteps of the past three seasons, then we can expect a March 2021 premiere.

32 beloved LGBTQ+ characters who were actually played by LGBTQ+ actors
Since Elite's debut in 2018, the series has received universal critical acclaim, with particular praise aimed at the relationship between LGBTQ+ characters Omar and Ander, who have been dubbed 'Omander' by fans.
Last year, the series won Outstanding Scripted Television Series (Spanish-Language) at the GLAAD Media Awards.
The show is one of Netflix's best performing Spanish originals, with the most recent third season being viewed by over 20 million households.
The first three seasons of Elite are available to stream on Netflix.

WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) -
Police have identified a man whose body was found in his pickup truck in north Wichita nearly two weeks ago.
Officers were called the afternoon of Friday, August 31 to a welfare check near 21st Street and Amidon. They arrived to find 38-year-old Justin Williamson dead in a red pickup.
Police say he died of natural causes.
Authorities are investigating after a person's body was found in a pickup truck in front of a Wichita home.
First responders were called at around 2:30 p.m. Friday to a welfare check in the 2400 block of Coolidge, near 21st Street North and Amidon. A neighbor had called 911, saying they thought there was a body in a pickup parked in the street in front of their house.
Officer Paul Cruz said officers arrived on scene and found the body of an unknown male in a red pickup, which had been there since at least Thursday. The death is being investigated as suspicious.
A neighbor whose lived in the area for 15 years said it's a nice area and that nothing like this has ever happened there.
Cruz said the area would be blocked off for several hours.

I'm excited to finally show you some of the renovations I started in our home in France before our Summer holidays.
As some of you know, our holidays home became our main residence when we relocated to the beach in France after twenty-three years in London.
When we bought the house about twelve years ago, it was really in a sorry state.
Yet, both of us could see the potential of the house which had a good layout and came with a 2175 m2 private garden.
For Steve, who grew up on a farm in New-Zealand with a lot of space, the garden was everything.
To this day, the outdoor space we have is one of the things I appreciate the most (that and living close to the beach!).
As the hallway runs through the house and gets a beautiful natural light from the adjacent 4 bedrooms and the laundry, I wanted to keep this wonderful Summer vibes with white walls and add a few natural accents which would remind us of the beach.
To help me put down my vision on paper, I created the mood board below which includes more natural touches with wooden storage and wicker pendant lights.
12 years ago, we painted the textured walls water and lime powder. A messy job but great if you renovate on a tight budget.
Going from one white space to another white space doesn't seem like a major change. However, we did several things that really modernised the space while making it a lot brighter.
Initially, we were supposed to move the door frame towards the wall because of the new kitchen. As soon as I saw how it was opening the space, I asked our Builder to leave it that way.
Large doorways are something that I will do again. This has really changed the vibe of the room, making it look more spacious and open.
Step 2: Plastering the walls to obtain a smooth, modern finish.
These days, a lot of Plasterers are basically putting plasterboards up which is easier and faster. In a renovation project, plasterboards are fixed on top of the existing walls. They need to be fixed onto metal rails. This means it will reduce the size of your room.
A messy job but worth doing. However, our Plasterer was fab and protected the floor well.
Last year, I let myself convinced by the tradesman we hired to re-do the back room using normal paint. He assured me that a slightly wet sponge would be sufficient to wipe off any scuff marks.
It wasn't!! It left marks and made the wall look dirtier so I didn't want to make the same mistake again.
As we have a boisterous dog and I like my white walls to be easy-to-care-for, I was keen to use a washable paint similar to the Dulux Valentine one we used in our home in London a few years ago.
The Dulux Valentine Easycare paint is 20 x tougher than the standard Dulux Valentine paint so you can remove stubborn marks without damaging the paint which was, what I was after. In addition, two coats were sufficient to cover our walls.
In France, the same paint is called Dulux Valentine Colour Resist.
I really like the smooth finish of the walls. Painted in pure white, it reminds of a simple Greek home in the summertime. When the sun flows in, our hallway looks even more summery.
I stored my beautiful Cluster lights by Kathleen Hills in the garage for another renovation project and replaced them by these beautiful pendant lights from La Maison Pernoise.
I also took out the vintage workbench that you can see on the front cover of my friend's book "How the French live".
The idea is to replace it with 5 Ivar cabinets to store Mila's skateboards & protective gear, our helmets, Lucas' things (leash, collar, brushes, etc), Winter gloves & scarves.
I'm still mad at IKEA for the major delay experienced during the kitchen renovations I will finalise this part soon.
I hope you've enjoyed this. Let me know in a comment below or if you have any questions.

Absolutely gorgeous, pared back easy living.
Fabulous renovation & thank you for sharing.
Is the Dulux Easycare Pure White paint available to purchase in the UK? & is the finish matt or satin, do you use Dulux Pure White eggshell for your doors & trims etc.
Recently painted some rooms In F&B 'all white' modern emulsion which is meant to be wipeable for scuffs ….but isn't! & also the eggshell in 'all white' is looking yellow after only 9months.
Yes it is as it is sold under a different name in France (see blog post in French for the name). We used the matt finish which is nice but I think we used the satin when we renovated the house in London.
I haven't tackled the woodwork yet.
I never tried F&B in white, I've always gone for Dulux because I love how their white is really pure white. Good luck with the DIY!
I love what you did to this space. So light and airy. I've always used F&B but I want to try something different. Can I ask, did you use Pure White or White Mist?
Thank you Karine. Have a great weekend!


Emile Bernard was only twenty when he painted this life-size portrait of his sister Madeleine, then aged seventeen. He portrayed her lying in the Bois d'Amour on the fringe of the Breton village of Pont-Aven, a wood that Sérusier's Talisman had made famous.
The young woman's body takes up the whole width of the canvas dividing the composition into two parts: a landscape painted in the studio from studies done on the spot, occupying two thirds of the space, and the girl's recumbent figure, also painted in the studio. The two parts coexist without unity despite the studied parallel between Madeleine's posture and the river Aven which flows behind the trees. The light, the brushstrokes and the colours are different. This awkwardness from a highly gifted young painter goes almost unnoticed because of the symbolic nature of the painting. It is not a realistic scene but a portrait with allegorical overtones of the young Madeleine with whom Gauguin had fallen in love. She seems to be absorbed in her reverie, listening to the divine voices of nature.
At this time, Emile Bernard and his sister were very close to the leader of the new "Impressionist and Synthetic" school which had taken up residence in Pont Aven to paint for several months. To get away from the naturalism advocated by the Impressionists of the 1870 generation, he recommended a more detached approach, painting in masses and solid areas of colour. Details, volume and perspective were sacrificed to an overall vision composed in successive planes like Japanese prints.


Do you regression test your blog entries?
I recently had a conversation with Tim Landgrave about just this topic. Our conversation started out talking about Microsoft employee blogs (there are a lot of people and teams at Microsoft blogging). I think it is great that Microsoft is very open about letting employees blog. Some companies do not let their employees blog or only have "official" blogs that require a high vetting process in order to get content published (so the entry is essentially a press release). Microsoft has a few simple rules about blogging, but as long as you stay within those rules anything is fair game. My posts do not have to go through any approval process and I am even allowed to maintain my own blogging site (they do provide several sites for employees to blog under official Microsoft URLs).
Tim summed up the issue with the question "Do you regression test your blog?". I think the answer that most bloggers would give is "no". Do most bloggers cite compatibility and version numbers in their blogs? "Sometimes" is probably the answer, but it is often done in a hap-hazard manner. I did this myself a couple week ago when I mentioned that a feature of IE7 works on Vista and XP. I call it hap-hazard because I did it in the text of the blog, not in a section called "Compatibility" or "Supported Operating Systems" that is included in each and every post. Do you translate each and every blog entry into several languages and localize the appropriate elements? "Very seldom" and most of the ones that do are a labor of love by loyal readers (see Joel on Software).


Miraflores Locks at The Panama Canal in Panama City, Panama.
The Panama Canal was forged through the country in order to connect the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The French started it, those damned Americans finished it, and now it's all under Panamaiac control.
No one I met seemed too impressed with their visit to the canal. Though, I tend to meet a lot of backpackers who just seem to care about drinking. So I tend to take their word with caution. I enjoyed it. Maybe not sit around all day watching boats go by enjoyed it. But enjoyed it for one boat. I mean, it was a pretty slow process.
Basically you go to the Miraflores Locks, because that's where the visitor center is, walk through the museum, watch a corny little 3-D movie, and watch the ships go through the locks.
Basically the ships sail into this little chamber which is then locked off. Then the water goes…somewhere…and they are lowered down so that the ship is level with the next part of the water. Then they leave the chamber, it's blocked off again, the water level returns to the height of the first section of water, and it starts all over again.

Tracking States on Disability Rights During COVID-19
Post category:Events & Training
One of the many challenging issues that arises during a pandemic is how resources should be distributed if they become scarce. Facing the possibility of scarce resources can be frightening for families of people with disabilities who wonder if their loved one will have the same access to life-saving medical equipment that others have.
The United States Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Civil Rights (OCR) is responsible for protecting the rights of people with disabilities, including rights related to medical care.
On March 28, OCR issued this Bulletin on Civil Rights Laws and HIPAA Flexibilities That Apply During the COVID-19 Emergency. OCR Director Roger Sevirno states in the Bulletin:
"HHS is committed to leaving no one behind during an emergency, and this guidance is designed to help health care providers meet that goal. Persons with disabilities, with limited English skills, or needing religious accommodations should not be put at the end of the line for health services during emergencies. Our civil rights laws protect the equal dignity of every human life from ruthless utilitarianism."
OCR and disability rights groups have recently investigated several states' guidelines that include disability as a factor in determining how ventilators should be allocated if they are scarce. On April 8, the State of Alabama removed language from its guidelines that allowed intellectual disability to be used as a factor in determining access to ventilators. You can read more about that decision here.
The Center for Public Integrity just issued this report that gives an overview of state guidelines regarding the allocation of ventilators. You can read a particular state's guidelines by clicking that state on the map in the article. Mississippi's guidelines are described as "vague but do not have any of the specific problems disability advocates have pointed out in other states."
In Mississippi, the two primary state agencies that oversee the allocation of resources in a pandemic are the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). If you have questions for either agency about resource allocation or anything else related to the COVID-19 outbreak, we encourage you to contact the MSDH through its 24/7 COVID 19 hotline (877-978-6453) and MEMA through its hotline (800-626-4959) or email (info@disasterstrategies.org) for inclusive disaster strategies.
Disability Rights Mississippi (DRMS) has written Governor Tate Reeves a letter "requesting that the state of Mississippi take immediate affirmative action prohibiting discriminatory rationing of live-saving medical equipment throughout the duration of the COVID-19 emergency." You can see a PDF of the letter here.
If you have questions about the OCR Bulletin you can contact OCR at OCRMail@hhs.gov or call the OCR toll-free phone line at (1-800–368–1019), (TTY: 1-800-537-7697) for further information.

In 2015, the Minneapolis VA published a major study on the effectiveness of mindfulness for the treatment of PTSD in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Since then, there has been an increasing demand for non-traditional health care approaches. These include Yoga, Tai chi, mindfulness, acupuncture and the use of essential oils. In December, 2017, the Minneapolis VA Medical Center (VAMC) celebrated the opening of its new Integrative Center for Health & Healing, which offers non-traditional therapies. For more information, read the VA VAntage Point Blog.

Yuri Kozyrev in Iraq, 2002-2016: Witnessing the U.S. Invasion, the Rise of the Insurgency and the Fight Against ISIS
Alice Gabriner
Photojournalist Yuri Kozyrev has lived through the full arc of the war in Iraq – from the initial "shock and awe" phase of bombardment through the fall of Baghdad in April 2003. He worked on the front lines as more and more Iraqis grew to reject the U.S. presence in their country and some came to support an armed insurrection against the American forces. He photographed the war day by day as the insurgency metastasized into a brutal sectarian civil war, sowing the seeds of extremism that continue to devastate the country to this day.
Kozyrev calls his years in Iraq an "amazing experience with horrible consequences." In this photo gallery, we take a look back at 14 years of work in Iraq.
See Kozyrev's most recent work from Iraq, On the Front Lines of the War Against ISIS, and read dispatches from TIME's Middle East bureau chief Jared Malsin.
Yuri Kozyrev is a photojournalist and a TIME contract photographer. He is represented by Noor.

The petition points out that on October 6, the Election Commission of India notified elections to the assemblies of five states, without framing any guidelines in the spirit of the recent Constitution Bench decision.
A PIL has been filed in the Delhi High Court seeking directions to the Election Commission of India to frame guidelines for advertising criminal antecedents of candidates in election campaign in compliance with the Supreme Court Judgment in Public Interest Foundation Vs Union Of India.
The Bench headed by Chief Justice Rajendra Menon has agreed to hear the matter tomorrow.
The PIL filed by Ashwini Upadhyaya, lawyer and BJP leader, states that Election Commission has not taken effective steps for implementation of the directions of the recent Constitution Bench judgment, which directed that candidates should disclose their criminal antecedents in the election affidavit. It was directed in the judgment that the details of criminal cases should be stated in bold letters in the election affidavit, and also uploaded in the official website of the party to which the candidate belongs.
i) Each contesting candidate shall fill up the form as provided by the Election Commission and the form must contain all the particulars as required therein.
At the present, Section 33-A merely mandates that the returning officer merely affix the affidavit with the candidate's details "at a conspicuous place at his office". In constituencies where millions of voters are involved, this is no longer a feasible option. It is imperative that this information is displayed widely, and onus must be on candidate seeking high Constitutional office to make a clean breast of things.
The vacuum that therefore exists is in how the information of the candidate placed in his Section 33-A affidavit is actually communicated to the electorate, states the petition.
Above details shall cover not less than 33% (20% if no case) of the space of the every Banner, Poster, Hoarding, Video or other graphics, and 33% of the time of each Audio recording.
If the above are not adhered to, the Returning Officer shall reject the nomination of the candidate. In any event, such non-disclosure would amount to undue influence and the election would be liable to set aside.
The above conditions shall be incorporated into Model Code of Conduct and Existing Election Orders and Instructions of the Election Commission up to the day of polling.
The political party shall also publish the above information of its candidates at least thrice in leading Hindi & English News Channels between 5-9pm and thrice in widely circulated Hindi & English Newspapers before polling. [ECI will provide the list of News Channels & Newspapers based on TRP & Circulation].
The political party shall publish the aforesaid information on the Home Page of its Website immediately after nomination of Candidate till 5pm on the date of Polling. The Font shall be Bookman Old Style, Font Size - 20 and Line Spacing - 02.
These directions shall be intimated to all registered political parties for strict adherence. Any violation of these directions would invite appropriate action by the Election Commission against the political party concerned as well.
According to the petitioner, it cannot probably be presumed that the electorates of India are deliberately choosing those who are suspected criminals to be their legislative representatives. It could only be that true information of their backgrounds and the contents of their affidavits have not been made known to the public.
