Researchers have revealed the Pathogen that causes bitter rot disease
on Tuesday, August 18, 2020 in Other Science, Plants & Animals
Fungal spores responsible for bitter rot disease, a common and devastating infection in fruit, do not encounter their host plants by chance. Turns out, they have a symbiotic association with the plant, often living inside its leaves.
The new way of looking at the fungal pathogen, Colletotrichum fioriniae, as a leaf endophyte -- bacterial or fungal microorganisms that colonize healthy plant tissue -- was the outcome of a two-year study conducted by researchers in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences.
According to Phillip Martin, a doctoral candidate in plant pathology, the findings, which were published recently in the journal Phytopathology, have important implications for the management of the pathogen in fruit trees.
Colletotrichum fioriniae causes diseases, often called anthracnoses, in more than 100 fruit and vegetable plants, including apple, peach, pear and strawberry. The fungus infects the fruit under warm and wet conditions and causes brown, sunken lesions; occasionally, orange spores will be seen on the surface.
The disease is of concern to the Pennsylvania apple industry, which produces 400 million to 500 million pounds of apples per year. The state ranks fourth in the nation for apple production, per statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"The research was based on the idea that if we can determine where the spores are coming from, then maybe we can eliminate the source and break the bitter rot disease cycle," said Martin, who carried out the study under the guidance of Kari Peter, associate research professor of tree-fruit pathology. "Unfortunately, from this perspective, many of the spores come from leaves, including apple leaves, and from trees and shrubs that are everywhere in Pennsylvania."
Previously, the spores in question were thought to originate mostly from diseased fruits and twigs. However, even when infected fruits and twigs were removed from a tree, the disease, while reduced, often still was present, a circumstance that puzzled scientists.
The research, which took place in 2018 and 2019, focused on apples and involved the placement of rain-splash spore traps in orchards at Penn State's Fruit Research and Extension Center, at Hollabaugh Bros. Inc. fruit and vegetable farm, and at a satellite location in Arendtsville, all of which are located in Adams County. Traps also were placed in two forested areas -- comprised mostly of deciduous trees -- near the orchards.
Based on previous research that indicated that Colletotrichum fioriniae could survive on leaves, the team collected more than 1,000 leaves of apple and of 24 forest plant species. The leaves were disinfected to kill fungi on the leaf surface, frozen to kill the leaves and incubated to allow the fungi inside of the leaves to grow out and sporulate.
This test found Colletotrichum fioriniae in more than 30% of leaves sampled, with most spores coming from the forest samples. In orchards that were managed with fungicides, up to 8% of apple leaves were infected with the fungus. In the untreated orchard, Martin said, the spores were abundant, meaning they were found in 15-80% of the leaves. The infections did not seem to be causing any leaf diseases, however.
"While unexpected, these findings did explain why growers struggle with bitter rot even when they remove all diseased fruits and twigs -- the fungus was living in the leaves during the season," Martin said. "The fungus was present in all the tested orchards and could not be traced to infection from a nursery, which makes sense since the initial infections likely are coming from surrounding forests and fence rows."
Since the fungus is abundant in the forest canopy, eradication from nearby areas would be impractical, Martin added. However, the spatial limitations of rain-splash dispersal mean that forests are not regular sources of fungus spread; they likely serve only as primary introduction sources during extreme rain and wind events, after which the fungus becomes established in agricultural areas.
"Our study changes how we think about this fungus," Martin said. "While it may not supply quick fixes, it provides the basis for further research aimed at developing better management techniques, such as selecting resistant cultivars and breeding for genetic resistance."
Peter agreed. "Although it's exciting to understand that Colletotrichum fiorinae's niche in the environment is more sophisticated than we had appreciated, it does make managing bitter rot in apple orchards less straightforward," she said. "As researchers, we can view this is an opportunity to think outside the box and to be creative in figuring out a sustainable bitter rot management strategy."
In the meantime, Martin noted, disease-management tactics stay the same. "We don't believe most spores are overwintering in the leaves," he said. "Growers should continue to remove the infected fruits and twigs to help reduce disease spread season to season."

General and Special Education Students Join Forces in Basketball
Basketball is the newest sport added this year to the Unified Sports Special Olympics. It is something that more and more special education and general education students are getting involved in. "It is when we put together general ed. and special ed. peers together on one team," said Tim Ballaret, senior manager with sports and programs for Special Olympics. "They work together, they play together and they practice together." Last year the organization introduced this new concept to Ventura County in a track competition. It was so successful that this year they introduced a new sport: basketball "We have about 8-11 schools that are in the league and we have created a schedule where they play both home and away games," said Ballaret.

She May be Florida's First Lawyer with Autism. And She's Out to Change Lives and Minds
Haley Moss is one month into her practice as a lawyer. So far, so good. She has laser focus, a photographic memory and an extreme eye for detail - invaluable assets for poring over endless briefs and reports at Miami-based firm Zumpano Patricios. And what's more, she just might be making history: In January, Moss raised her hand, took an oath and became known as Florida's first lawyer living openly with autism. Her admission to the Florida Bar marked a key milestone in a life filled with them. Moss' diagnosis with autism, at age 3, came with warnings that she might not finish high school, get a driver's license or make a friend. The Parkland native did all those things and more, earning two bachelor's degrees - in criminology and psychology - by age 20 before graduating from the University of Miami School of Law in May 2018.

Changes in Brain Anatomy May Reflect Autism Traits
Some traits of autism are associated with obvious differences in brain structure, according to two new studies of same-sex twins. The scope of the alterations depends on the person's sex, one of the studies suggests. Girls with autism or autism traits show structural differences in 11 brain regions compared with an unaffected twin sister. In boys, autism traits are associated with differences in only two brain regions. The findings support the idea of a 'female protective effect,' which posits that girls are biologically protected from autism. "The female protective effect says we [see] about the same phenotypic severity of autism despite seeing more neurological alterations, and that's also what we find in our study." Read More
New Study Challenges Adult-Onset of ADHD
In just the past few years, researchers have identified what they believe is an adult version of attention deficit disorder: a restless inability to concentrate that develops spontaneously after high school, years after the syndrome typically shows itself, and without any early signs. The proposed diagnosis - called adult-onset and potentially applicable to millions of people in their late teenage years or older - is distinct from the usual adult variety, in which symptoms linger from childhood. Yet a new study suggests that adult-onset is rare - if it exists at all. The paper, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, could deepen the debate over these symptoms rather than settle it.

Smartphones Help Researcher Better Understand the Nature of Depression and Anxiety
Decades of research into anxiety and depression have resulted in the development of models that help explain the causes and dimensions of the two disorders. For all of their well-established utility however, these models measure differences between individuals and are derived from studies designed using few assessments that can be months or even years apart. In other words, the models are highly informative, but not optimal for examining what's happening emotionally in a particular person from moment to moment. Now, a University at Buffalo psychologist is extending that valuable research to repeatedly and frequently measure symptoms of specific individuals, in real time, to learn how immediate feelings relate to later symptoms.

New Compound Offers Superior Therapeutic Approach to Treat MS
Previous studies have shown that estrogens and estrogen-like compounds reduce multiple sclerosis-like inflammation and disability in mice. At first glance these treatments appear promising, but they carry a host of negative side effects, from feminizing male mice to increasing the risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke. An interdisciplinary team of scientists have piggy-backed on this approach with a new concept that side steps the negative side effects while alleviating symptoms. Read More
Penguin Project Helps Kids with Disabilities Shine Onstage
Once a year a celebration of the human spirit unfolds at numerous theaters across the country. The Penguin Project is a national project that provides children with special needs the chance to act in a major theater production. For the third year the Penguin Project will come to the Quad Cities. All the roles in the Penguin Project are filled by young artists with developmental disabilities like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, and other neurological disorders. Peer mentors volunteer to work side-by-side with the actors throughout the rehearsal process. One volunteer, Jacob Pecaut, is consistently moved to tears by the actors. An actor himself, Pecaut said watching the kids' excitement to be on stage refreshed his passion for theater. Read More
People with Developmental Disabilities in Ontario More Likely to Die Young, Report Suggests
People with developmental disabilities are more likely than those who aren't disabled to encounter problems with Ontario's health-care system regardless of age, sex or class, a new study suggests. The research from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences found people with developmental disabilities were significantly more likely to die young, languish in hospital without plans for appropriate aftercare, spend time in long-term care, or have repeat hospitalizations and emergency room visits than their non-disabled peers. The study, compiled by researchers from ICES, the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, said the findings held true regardless of what disability was specifically at play. They also transcended a variety of boundaries that usually serve as strong predictors of poor health outcomes, such as age and socioeconomic status. Read More
The Best School Options for Students with ADHD and LD
A generation ago, parents of children with attention deficit disorder and learning disabilities (LD) had scant educational choices. They could take part in the special-education program of their local public school, pay a premium for private school, or find a parochial school that matched their religious background. Today, the options are far more extensive and include public, charter, private, magnet, online, and homeschooling programs. Each type of school has its pros and cons, and finding the ideal fit can take some trial and error. If you're shopping around for a new school, here's a look at the advantages and disadvantages of each type, and which accommodations they offer. Read More
Genetic Clues to High Rates of Asthma in those of African Ancestry
In the largest study of its kind, researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have found new clues into the parts of the human genome associated with the higher rates of asthma in those of African ancestry. The study was published today in the journal Nature Communications. Using advanced new technology, scientists were able to identify loci or locations on a specific chromosome that may put those of African descent at a higher risk of asthma. They also discovered four chromosomal regions usually found in whites and Asians associated with asthma. One of those chromosomal areas is known as the 17q12 -- 21 region. Read More
Why No One Talks About the High Unemployment Rate among Women with Disabilities
It's not news that there is gender inequality when it comes to employment. Ever since the mid-1900s, if not earlier, women across the U.S. have been fighting for equal wages and equal treatment in the workforce. However, women with disabilities are too often left out of discussions about feminism and equal wage. According to the Bureau of Statistics report, the unemployment rate among women with disabilities is 9.4%, whereas it is 4% for those without disabilities. That means women with disabilities are more than twice as likely to be unemployed than are their non-disabled counterparts. Read More
Adaptive Video Game Controllers Open Worlds for Gamers with Disabilities
Erin Hawley grew up immersed in video games, progressing from Pong on the Atari 2600 to Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Genesis to Tomb Raider on the Sony PlayStation. But as the hand-held controllers became more complex and her muscular dystrophy became more debilitating, she was eventually forced to stop playing console games. Even holding a controller is difficult for Ms. Hawley because of the weight, and her hands are unable to reach certain buttons. To support gamers with physical disabilities, an industrious community has for years modified existing controllers or devised new ones altogether. Read More
Mental Health Conditions in Children Growing at an Alarming Rate
One in seven children and teens has a mental health condition and nearly half go untreated according to a recent study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics. The study found that out of the 46.6 million children whose parents completed a survey, 7.7 million children had at least one mental health condition, whether it was depression or an attention deficit disorder. The study found that 49.4 percent of children go untreated. Dr. Elias Barghash, a clinical psychologist at Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest Medical Center, said there are many factors that may contribute to mental health going undiagnosed or untreated. He said many people don't know what to look for and in some cases parents may not want to believe their children could be dealing with mental health conditions. That's why Barghash said it's important for parents to observe their child's behavior. Read More
Food Allergies and Multiple Sclerosis: New Link
Like many other medical conditions, the mechanism of multiple sclerosis remains an enigma -- a puzzle composed of complex genetic and environmental factors. A key piece to this puzzle is the immune system, which is also responsible for regulating many other physiological (and pathological) phenomena -- including allergies. Although previous studies investigating the association between MS and allergies have yielded mixed results, a research team at Brigham and Women's Hospital sought to uncover the putative link in a new way. Investigating the correlation between allergy and inflammatory disease activity, the team found new evidence connecting food allergies and relapses of multiple sclerosis. The results are published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry. Read More
Children with Autism, Co-Occurring ADHD Symptoms Lag in Key Measures of Independence
A pair of new studies has provided new insight into the challenges faced by children on the autism spectrum who exhibit symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). According to the findings from researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), these children have difficulty with adaptive behavior, a key measure of independence. Additionally, researchers pinpointed weaker functional connections in two large brain networks in children on the autism spectrum who have co-occurring ADHD symptoms. The first study, published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, analyzed adaptive behavior, a key measure of how a person is able to function independently at home, school and in the community. Communication skills, self-care skills and social skills are examples of adaptive behavior. Read More
Adolescent Female Blood Donors at Risk for Iron Deficiency and Associated Anemia
Female adolescent blood donors are more likely to have low iron stores and iron deficiency anemia than adult female blood donors and non-donors, which could have significant negative consequences on their developing brains, a new study led by Johns Hopkins researchers suggests. Based on these findings, the authors propose a variety of measures that could help this vulnerable population. Each year, an estimated 6.8 million people in the U.S. donate blood, according to the American Red Cross, which coordinates blood drives across the country. Adolescents are increasingly contributing to the donor pool due to blood drives at high schools. In 2015, adolescents ages 16-18 contributed approximately 1.5 million blood donations. Read More
Children with Autism More Likely to Face Maltreatment
A recent study by Vanderbilt researchers of 11 counties in Middle Tennessee revealed that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were nearly 2.5 times more likely than children without ASD to be reported to the Child Abuse Hotline by the age of 8. The study, led by researchers from Vanderbilt Kennedy Center's Treatment and Research Institute for Autism Spectrum Disorders (TRIAD), examined the entire population of Middle Tennessee residents born in 2008 and compared their records through 2016. Using data collected through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network, 387 children out of the population of 24,306 were identified as having a diagnosis of ASD.

Picked up this tuner several years ago from an estate. Did not know at the time it requires an included but separate 'remote coupler' to sense the forward and reflected power. I want to try to get it working.
Image shows the same model tuner with the remote coupler box there on top of it for reference. That box is the part I am looking for.
Other pic. is my nasty smoke-encrusted estate find -missing that box!!
found one, no longer need this.

1127 Genetic analysis of P. falciparum before and after artemether-lumefantrine treatment in Mali
Locations: Mali (ML)
Although artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) resistance has not yet been found in Mali, previous studies have shown that cases of recurring P. falciparum parasites within a month of infection after treatment with artemether-lumefantrine seem to be increasing. The Molecular Epidemiology and Drug Resistance Unit, at the Malaria Research and Training Center, University of Science, Techniques and Technologies of Bamako, Mali is conducting this study to characterise the phenotype and genotype of these recurrent parasites, with parasites being collected before and after artemether-lumefantrine treatment and stored for ex vivo drug efficacy studies and subsequent genotyping by next generation sequencing.

I have a special order for a three-year-old boy birthday card. I decided to use Cutting Cafe's Pirate Stamps. The pirate ship is cool and I love the treasure map. The background of the card is printed on Bazzil Cardstock and the treasure map is printed on Papertrey Ink's kraft cardstock. I just aged it with Vintage Photo Distress InkI cut out the ship's sails individually so they would have some depth. Hope he likes it! Good news! This card was a spotlight card over at the City Crafter Challenge Blog! I'm so excited my little Santa's Cookies card was chosen. Such fun!
This is the cutest card ever! I love the 3D. You really put a lot of thought into this wonderful creation!
Lovely card for a little boy!
Too cute...love what you did with the background~!

/ Matt Eddmenson
Matt Eddmenson, who graduated from The Art Academy of Cincinnati in 1999, draws from a range of influences and sources for his practice, including Cowboy Comics, Pop Art, and the work of Cy Twombly. His works are gatherings and reconfigurations of American imagery and iconography, commonly featuring cowboys, skulls, and rodeo horses. He also incorporates images from the golden age of comics and tattoo culture. Eddmenson explains: "I work from my memories as a child, I learned to draw by tracing comic book covers over and over until I was able to draw these characters from memory—I have a deep admiration for comic book art. There is a constant battle in my work that positions itself between taking something that is well drafted/executed and then destroying it to some degree. By planting a mark or a scribble so deliberately that it then becomes the new focal point of the piece. A simple act of "messing it up" so that the work takes on a dual personality as if there are two artists working in tandem."

Our mission is to spread the legacy and generosity of Oscar J. Tolmas throughout the region by assisting local charitable organizations with their missions of helping others. A WWII Veteran, he was honorably discharged in 1946 with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Although he was an active businessman, attorney, and real estate developer, his passion was horse racing. A regular at the New Orleans Fair Grounds racetrack for decades, he was a member of the Louisiana Racing Commission for 12 years and Chairman for four years.
Mr. Tolmas was dedicated to giving back to his community. In his last will and testament he formed the Oscar J. Tolmas Charitable Trust to help other charitable organizations with their missions. He left all of his estate to the trust.
Mr. Tolmas selected Vincent J. Giardina, CPA and Lisa N. Romano, CPA for the Trustee positions. Mr. Giardina was Mr. Tolmas' CPA for approximately 20 years. Mrs. Romano worked directly for Mr. Tolmas for 15 years.
The Oscar J. Tolmas Charitable Trust is excited about the New Orleans Jewish Community Center's Capital and Endowment Campaign. Plans include the Oscar J. Tolmas Aquatics Complex.

Discover Kent's delightful market towns and villages, rolling hills and ancient inns
The Kent Downs stretch from the White Cliffs of Dover on the eastern shoreline, to the Surrey borders in the west of the county.
Winding its way across undulating scenery, through quaint half-timbered villages and treading in ancient footsteps along the Pilgrims Way.
Half-timbered homes in the picturesque village of Chilham
This section of the Kent Downs is also referred to as the North Downs. Along with the High Weald in the south, this picturesque region has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, due to its distinctive character and exceptional landscape.

Gary and I live in Kent and treasure the fact that we have this on our doorstep. What's wonderful is that just a short hop off the key routes through Kent, and you enter peaceful lanes, serene countryside and orchards weighed down with apples and cherries.
We chose a circular route that can be easily accessed from the M20 (jct. 8). Selecting a few historic villages in and around the Downs and slightly to the north, the Medieval Market Town of Faversham.
Open farmland around Oare in Kent
The entire route of the road trip is only around 40 miles (65.5km). However, you will undoubtedly be jumping out to stroll around the delightful villages and historic lanes. Even better, why not make a weekend of it and stay overnight at one of the ancient inns in Faversham?
There are so many lovely walks in this region of Kent, the Stour Valley Walk starts in Lenham.
If you fancy walking the full length of the North Downs Way, it stretches 153 miles (246km) from Farnham in the Surrey Hills to Dover on the Kent coast. Passing through stunning countryside with magnificent views all the while picking up the legendary Pilgrim's Way. Buy OS Explorer Maps direct from Ordnance Survey.
As you arrive at Hollingbourne don't be put off by the pillory, they're a friendly bunch here, honestly.
Hollingbourne pillory village sign
Heading into Hollingbourne, you first enter Eyhorne Street which is a little hamlet south of Hollingbourne. You must definitely park up and stroll around here it is so quaint, with half-timbered homes and delicately planted English country gardens.
Eyhorne Street alone has over 25 listed buildings, along with two pubs, a cute village shop and café serving the community and a babbling brook at the end of the lane.
Eyhorne Street, Hollingbourne
Jumping back in the car for the short hop north to Upper Street is the village of Hollingbourne.
Looking down Upper Street, Hollingbourne
Hollingbourne may appear reasonably small; however, it's full of character and has some beautiful historic cottages. You also won't fail to miss the Elizabethan Hollingbourne Manor, which takes pride of place.
Centuries of history
The Pilgrims Way and the North Downs Way winds through the north of the village. Hollingbourne can also trace its roots back to 1086, as it appears in the Domesday Book as Hoilingeborde.
Hollingbourne also has a lovely flint church, take a little wander around the churchyard at the rear and enjoy the far-stretching views of the Kent countryside beyond.
All Saints Church, Hollingbourne
Just nearby Hollingbourne is the magnificent moated Leeds Castle. There is so much to see and do at Leeds Castle, you'll probably want to dedicate a whole day to it.
Heading onto our second destination just 6 miles (9km) east is the charming Market Village of Lenham.
Along with Hollingbourne, Lenham is also mentioned in Domesday Book, and it was granted its original Market Charter by King John in 1206.
The crossroads at Lenham village square
Daily life in Lenham revolves around the delightful village square, where you can park free of charge. Locals are coming and going, popping into the bakery, florist or the bustling Post Office, it really has a lived-in feel.
Several half-timbered listed buildings encircle the square, you can sit at one of the many benches or pop into a tearoom and watch the world go by.
Cornerhouse Café, Lenham
Lenham also has a couple of historic pubs in the square. The Red Lion which dates from the 14th-century and the Dog and Bear which was originally built in 1602. This inn is also a hotel and was visited by Queen Anne in 1704, her coat of arms stands pride of place above the entrance.
17th-century Dog and Bear Hotel, Lenham
Just on the edge of the square and opposite the Sweeney Todd Barbershop is the rag-stone and flint St Mary's Church. Additionally, to be found on the edge of the village square is an unusual little chapel. Initially built in the 18th-century as a workhouse mortuary, in the 19th-century it became the parish gaol and then in the mid-20th-century was used as an air-raid shelter.
A picturesque street view of Faversham Road in Lenham
Lenham is full of character, and you leave feeling that you've experienced a little of village life.
An interesting read
If you're intrigued by Kent's weird and wonderful history, or all unusual stories around the county, then take a peek at "Kent's Strangest Tales".
You won't be able to put it down, you can pick it up for your Kindle or in good old paperback.
Jumping back in the car, we're off to the historic village of Charing. Nestled at the foot of the North Downs with the Pilgrims Way passing through en-route to Canterbury.
This little village really surprised me, as we've often driven close by; however, not really had a stroll around.
The High Street in Charing, Kent
Incredibly Charing has the remains of an ancient Archbishops Palace, which dates back to the 13th–century, located adjacent to the Church of St Peter and St Paul.
The remains of the palace are now part of a farmhouse and privately owned, nonetheless in its heyday it was visited by a number of Royals, including Henry VII and Henry VIII. They stayed on several occasions. It became the property of the Crown during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1545.
Archbishops Palace and Church of St Peter and St Paul, Charing
The village itself is extremely attractive, with the majority of the historic buildings located along The High Street. A lovely mixture of well-maintained timber-framed dwellings, elegant double fronted homes and quaint cottages, many dating from 16th-century.
Charing village green, with Archbishops Palace beyond
In Charing, you may not find an old traditional pub anymore. Still, it now has a micropub, a village store, family butchers and a large village green where you could have a picnic. Take a peek at the commemorative paving stone and garden for the Charing's VC recipient Corporal Frederick George Coppins.
South down Charing High Street
There was free parking in the village.
We now head to the north of the Kent Downs to the picture-postcard village of Chilham. It really is like stepping onto a movie set, you'll undoubtedly see why some of Agatha Christie's productions are filmed here.
Timber fronted houses in The Street, Chilham
Chilham is extremely pretty, historic timber fronted homes, wisteria clambering around leaded windows and brimming hanging baskets clinging to the red-brick walls.
It's quite a small village which makes it even more appealing if there weren't the signs of modern-day life you would believe you were lost in another era.
Taylors Hill, Chilham
Charming homes in the village of Chilham
At one end of the village square, is Chilham Castle Gardens which can be visited on selected days. However just strolling around the historic lanes, popping into a tearoom or enjoying local ale, it's a beautiful place to visit.
Picturesque cottage with St. Mary's Church beyond in Chilham
Have a tranquil wander around St. Mary's Church and grounds, there's even a little path that has been created out of old headstones. The church's stained-glass windows and monuments have earned it a place in Simon Jenkins's "A Thousand Best Churches".
Parking is limited in the village square; however, there is a large free car park which is only a 5-minutes' walk from the square
Our other Kent road trips
Discover Kent on a rural road trip, lush rolling countryside filled with orchards, vineyards, quaint villages and oast houses, so it makes for a perfick visit.
If you fancy heading to the seaside grab your bucket and spade and tour 11 of Kent's coastal towns.
We're now en-route to the Market Town of Faversham. Winding our way across the Kent Downs passing lush landscape and weighed down apple orchards. This region of Kent is renowned for its fruit of cherries and apples.
Faversham Creek
If you know anything about Faversham, then it's probably that it is home to Britain's oldest brewery, Shepherd Neame. You'll see their inns throughout this historic town.
In the heart of Faversham in Market Place is the eye-catching collonaded Guildhall, it's beautiful. On market days, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, this part of town is bustling with visitors buying local crafts and produce.
The 17th-century Guildhall in Faversham
Take a stroll along the lanes leading off of this charming square, the architecture down West Street, and Court Street is impressive. With the timbered framed dwellings, you'll be feeling like you stepped back into Dickensian times.
Court Street in Faversham
One area not to miss while visiting Faversham is Standard Quay, located along the side of the Creek. Amble along Abbey Street which is full of pastel-coloured homes and prior to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, an ancient Abbey once stood.
Abbey Street in Faversham
Turn left into Abbey Road, and you're greeted with old sailing barges, Victorian Warehouses and ancient granaries.
You can still appreciate how this quayside would have looked many years ago. However, nowadays you'll find a local fishmonger, butchers, cafes, restaurants and plenty of antiques and curios to rummage through.
Standard Quay, Faversham
Faversham is an ideal location to stay overnight, park up and enjoy the delights of one or two of Shepherd Neame's seasonal ales.
Walks and Trails around the Kent Downs
If you want to explore more of the Kent Downs (AONB) or Pilgrims Way, either on foot or cycling here are the trails to pick up.
Pilgrims Way
Pilgrim Cycle Trail
National Cycle route 18
Stour Valley Walk
Our next stop is Oare, just slightly north of Faversham and one close to my heart. Oare is where some of my relatives are from and have lived for many, many years.
Oare is a tiny place, and if you love nature, particularly birdlife and picturesque riverside walks, you'll love it here.
Tranquil stroll along The Swale in Oare, Kent
Oare Marshes which is a 176-acre Nature Reserve, is owned by Kent Wildlife Trust and is an important migratory route for many birds. It's pretty popular for twitchers too.
The landscape in Oare is amazing, you don't need to be a birdwatcher to appreciate a stroll around Oare and Faversham Creek.
A picturesque riverside walk in Oare all year round
Oare is also home to a delightful 13th-century church of St Peter, and along with Faversham, Oare played a significant role during the 19th-century producing gun powder and explosives.
It's good to talk!
Share with us your experiences while visiting Kent and drop us a comment below.
Leaving Oare, we are now looping back towards Hollingbourne. However, there is one more village we've chosen to stop at in the heart of the Kent Downs, and that's Newnham.
Charming cottages in Newnham, Kent and Saint Peter and Paul Church
Quiet village life in Newnham revolves around the attractive 12th-century flint church of Saint Peter and Paul, with its charming traditional lychgate. Then just a short hop across the street, there's the George Inn which has been welcoming locals since 1718. Yep, you guessed it's a Shepherd Neame pub.
Timber-framed homes in Newnham, Kent
Newnham is a delightful little village with over 1,000 years of history. In centuries gone by, villagers would have been born, lived and worked all their lives in this one location. With so many orchards and acres of farmland around the residents wouldn't have needed to travel too far for work.
I love visiting villages like Newnham, as although there isn't a specific reason to lure you in, it is just so pleasant admiring the historic architecture. Dotted through The Street are timber-framed dwellings, weatherboarded homes and quaint cottages with traditional English country gardens.
18th-century Calico House in Newnham
One home to look out for is the Jacobean Calico House, with its striking red and white plasterwork, which resembled the calico fabric colours during early 18th-century.
Just outside Newnham is Doddington Place and Gardens. You'll need to book your visit in advance to visit their lovely attractive landscaped gardens.
It's now just 8 miles (13km) south-west back to Hollingbourne, winding your way through narrow country lanes and passing by grazing sheep fields, via the Ringlestone Road.

MIPTV Hot Pick: Real Detective
By TBI reporter
21st March 2016 @ 14:50
True crime programming is increasingly informed by the pacing, tone and production values seen in the scripted world, and DCD Rights' big launch for MIPTV is Real Detective, a new factual series inspired by HBO's hit cop drama True Detective.
Real Detective is a factual series heavy on the drama reconstruction, with up to 80% of each instalment scripted. "This is a dramatised, but factual programme," says DCD Rights CEO Nicky Davies Williams.
"The whole [true crime] genre is growing, changing and getting closer to drama," she adds.
The show was produced by Montreal-based indie WAM and plays on cable net Investigation Discovery in the US.
DCD landed the rights after putting the word out that it was in the market for crime programming. "We were looking for crime and this really struck a chord," says Davies Williams, adding: "There are a lot of crime nets out there."
The DCD distribution boss also thinks the series could go free-to-air in some places. "It could go to broadcast in Australia and Europe," she says. "In fact, it should go to free TV in many European countries."
Each hour-long episode is one police officer's story. Appropriately, a (retired) real detective opens each instalment, setting the scene and outlining a case from their career that haunts them. The key elements of the investigation are then re-enacted, with some star names cast as the investigators.
Reservoir Dogs and The Hateful Eight star Michael Madsen plays a Texas Ranger in one episode, for example, and NCIS: Los Angeles' Devon Sawa plays a cop who lets his ego get in the way of solving a case in another.
Other cases include Falling Skies' Ryan Robbins as Montana detective fighting to find a child killer, and Lost Girl's Zoie Palmer as an cop who gets too close to the family of a murder victim.
Davies Williams is confident that Real Detective will work for DCD. "You just know when you've got a hit," she says.
The show: Real Detective
The distributor: DCD Rights
The producer: Wam
The broadcasters: Investigation Discovery (US)
The concept: True Detective-inspired true crime series with stars re-enacting real-life cases

Even more "under the radar" films that might have come and gone without notice.
Yes, it has a depressing ending, but getting there is a fun, wild ride. Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland are excellent as this aging, sparring couple.
A bit avant-garde, a little wacky, but 100% British! From visionary director Sally Potter, this film has surprises around every corner and a great cast.
Melissa Leo shines as a Mother Superior during the days before and after Vatican II changed the Catholic Church and the lives of nuns forever.
Based on an acclaimed novel, Julianne Moore gives a tremendously powerful (and very underrated) performance as a opera singer caught in a political--and literal--firefight.
This film will require you to read subtitles unless you speak French, and it's worth it! It is charming, witty, and as comfortable as a glass of wine by the fire.
In 1950s England, a young widow stirs up a small coastal town when she starts a bookshop. Based on a novel by Penelope Fitzgerald. Bill Nighy's subtle performance once again proves he is a true gem and one of the most underrated and under-awarded actors of our time.
Always good to see Christopher Plummer in a movie...especially one where he plays a cantankerous old geezer who prefers dope to his daughter.
In this documentary, actor Leon Vitali, after working for Stanley Kubrick, gave up his acting ambitions to be Kubrick's assistant.
In the iconic and infamous hotel in New York City, the piano bar is almost as famous as the plethora of regular celebrity guests.


After 12 years of a self-imposed time-out, Peter Hubbell is back at Cannes. Something dramatic had happened to lure him back, but it didn't happen overnight.
You don't have to look far to understand why marketers don't embrace generations of age like the Baby Boomers. Marketers love "new" and they're always chasing the next new trend. Being old is anything but new, so it's not surprising that marketers are ignoring the most valuable trend in business.
Companies and their marketers are obsessed by millennials, and though Baby Boomers represent a huge opportunity businesses are not considering the marketing value of baby boomers.
Congratulations to Peter Hubbell for winning Silver in the 2016 Axiom Business Book Awards!
Peter Hubbell and BoomAgers named as one of the world's top most innovative agencies by The Internationalist.


This small book study group serves as a primer, examining the motivation behind Rev. Dr. William Barber's mission to hold our nation's government officials accountable for inciting moral violence while failing to uphold those rights of freedom, dignity and equality as basic human rights that our country purports to guarantee.

White people in the United States often struggle to engage the dynamics of race in our culture, and particularly the unique identity and privileges that white people hold in society. This class will create a positive and brave space in which to unpack why this is such a struggle; provide resources for overcoming that challenge and engaging the realities of white racial identity and privilege in America; and consider how Christianity can and must play a positive role in this work.
On Sunday, September 17th, Global Citizen and The Riverside Church will join together for an afternoon of dynamic performances and key speakers commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Dr. King's Beyond Vietnam speech.
Participants include: The Reverend Al Sharpton, Forest Whitaker, The Howard University Gospel Choir, Sir the Baptist, The String Orchestra of Brooklyn, Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts and more.
Members of the Riverside team will follow up with more information on technical logistics, discussion guides, toolkits, and social media outreach.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is still under attack by members of this administration. People of faith must stand up and speak out so that lifesaving health care is preserved and accessible to all in our country. On Sept 6th, join Riversiders and citizens from around the US in Washington, DC to lobby and remind our representatives that the ACA keeps millions alive and must not be dismantled.
Visit bit.ly/HealthCareDCSept6 to learn more and request transportation for the trip.
This is a time for NYC's communities of faith to come together to reaffirm our shared spiritual values, to gain strength, and to affirm our commitment to each other in the fight against oppression. We need each other. We need to declare together, across differences of faith and race, that there is no room for hate in our congregations, in our city and in our nation. We gather to affirm that all of our faiths instruct us to love—and that love will always win. Join us as we pray and seek peace--shalom, salaam.
Saturday, July 29 from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Fifty years after Dr. King's "Beyond Vietnam" speech, we find ourselves still confronting the challenges of materialism, racism, and militarism. You're invited to study Dr. King's "Beyond Vietnam" speech, delivered at The Riverside Church fifty years ago, along with our three expert facilitators: Regina Tate, Alan Bentz Letts, and Steve Knight. This class will offer you the opportunity to read King's famous speech in detail and reflect on the truths his prophetic words have for us today. This class is open to all. Participants must purchase a study guide for $5. Each session of the class will be offered twice a week so that you may choose whichever session fits your schedule.
Session 1: Thursday June 1 at 7:00 p.m. / Sunday June 4 at 9:00 a.m.
Session 2: Thursday June 8 7:00 p.m. / Sunday June 11 at 9:00 a.m.
Session 3: Thursday June 15 7:00 p.m. / Sunday June 18 at 9:00 a.m.
Session 4: Thursday June 22 7:00 p.m. / Sunday June 25 at 9:00 a.m.
All classes will be held in the Multi-Purpose Room. To register for the class, contact Lennith Santos-Santana at lsantana@trcnyc.org or 212-870-6833.
On display that afternoon will be "Torpedoes into Plowshares," a project of the Theater of the Oppressed from Jeremiah Dreake, Artistic Director. A 100 kg high explosive torpedo purchased in 2010 is being transformed by blacksmith Marsha Trattner. Later this summer, we will use those same shovels to plant seeds as part of the Grateful giving and serving campaign, as an expression of our community's gratitude and commitment to peace.
Now more than ever, people of all faiths must stand together in support of justice and tolerance. As we approach Passover and Easter, The Riverside Church is joining with Jewish Theological Seminary, and other local partners in an interfaith march to make a powerful statement affirming the dignity of all people and the essential values of tolerance, racial justice, and welcoming the stranger. All those who support welcoming the stranger and promoting racial justice and religious tolerance are welcome.
The march will be held on Wednesday, April 5, 12:00–2:40 p.m. It begins at JTS at (3080 Broadway at 122nd Street) and ends at the National Black Theatre (Fifth Avenue between 125th and 126th Streets).
For more information contact Rabbi Stephanie Ruskay or Reverend Bertram Johnson.
Commemorate the 50th anniversary of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's famous Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence sermon in an evening with Michelle Alexander and Ruby Sales, voices of the past and future of the Civil Rights Movement. Written by Dr. Vincent Harding, and delivered at The Riverside Church exactly one year to the day before Dr. King's assassination, Beyond Vietnam is a moral agenda for America to address issues of racial justice, poverty, and war. Dr. King and Harding's prophetic and prescient words are as urgently needed today as when they were first delivered. The evening is co-hosted by The Riverside Church, Iliff School of Theology, Veterans of Hope and Union Theological Seminary.
Join Rev. Al Sharpton, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Cardinal Timothy Dolan for a service against hate on the 49th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This service will take place at 3:00 PM in the Nave of The Riverside Church.
For more information call 1-877-626-4651.
Join Rev. William Barber and rising voices of the present and future of the Civil Rights Movement for Sunday morning worship at The Riverside Church.
A livestream of this sermon will be available at trcnyc.org.
Riverside is joining American Baptist Churches in Metropolitan New York (ABCMNY) in their year-long commitment to support youth and adults who are most impacted by the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan. In 2014, the lead levels in Flint's water supply measured ten times higher than the safe level determined by the EPA. As late as Jan 2017, residents were cautioned to filter faucets and drink bottled water. Many children and seniors show signs of irreparable lead poisoning. The long-term impact of this is unfathomable.
Water means life for all of us. Riverside believes that all people are deserving of clear, safe water. Many residents cannot afford to buy the amount of water needed for daily life. Your contribution to "Flint Water" will support life and health for sons and daughters, parents and grandparents in Flint who need our help. Help us meet and exceed our goal of $10,000 during the month of March!
Give online: Select "Other" from the designation line and type in "Flint Water."
Blackout for Human Rights and the Campaign for Black Male Achievement (CBMA) host their second annual MLK Now at Riverside. MLK Now is a special MLK Day event to celebrate and honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and explore how his message and vision continue to resonate in today's racial, social and political landscape. Taking place at Riverside - where Dr. King gave his famous 1967 speech, "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence" - the event will feature historic speeches performed by some of today's leading actors and artists. MLK Now 2017 will also include special live music performances and conversations.
If you can't make it to the event, it will be livestreamed - details forthcoming. Presenting and supporting partners for this year's event include PICO National Network, sankofa.org, Magnolia Pictures, Black Lives Matter, Dream Defenders, Color of Change, and ARRAY.

Commodore's Message
Published 19:05 on 26 May 2021
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that Hector Morris died on Monday 24th May. Hector was a long standing and very active member of the club. He joined with his wife Jenny and daughter Sarah back in the 1970s, and was a keen racing member, sailing Wayfarer 1337 Hermes, for many years.
He was also the club treasurer for an extensive period of time before becoming Caroline's Flag Man for Wednesday evening racing. In 2019, he provided the cadets with the trophy Garvin's Gift, which is awarded to the cadet recording the highest number of starts in all Club races.
In 2019 Hector Morris was awarded a prestigious Lifetime Commitment Award from the RYA in recognition of his commitment to Upper Thames Sailing Club. He joined UTSC in 1975 as an active sailor in the Wayfarer fleet and served as Treasurer for over 10 years. For 23 years, his services on the Wednesday night race team helped build the popularity of the club's mid-week sailing and he was instrumental in putting a training programme in place for the children of members. He is pictured at an event in 2018 which celebrated his retirement from the Wednesday night team.
When Hector felt his active sailing days were over, he sold his beloved wooden Wayfarer and bought three Toppers for the club cadets. Those first club boats began a process that culminated in the annual Junior Bourne End Week which sees 80 youngsters enjoying sailing on the Thames. Hector has always enjoyed seeing sailors develop and evolve and his contribution to them and the well-being of the club has been immense.
I will keep you informed of the funeral arrangements, and would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family at this time.

Prof. Didier Raoult cheered in the streets of Marseille
Despite the controversies, French medical practitioner Professor Didier Raoult - who defends hydroxychloroquine as an anti-Covid drug - is seen as a hero by ordinary French people. Proof of this is in a video posted on Thursday, April 30 on Twitter.
Published: May 1, 2020, 8:54 am
Trump surprises journalists by admitting he is taking hydroxychloroquine
Didier Raoult dismisses Lancet anti-hydroxychloroquine study as 'lousy'
Dawn raids against high-ranking French politicians over handling of Covid-19
Raoult is seen driving his car in a street in Marseille. People follow him spontaneously and cheer him on. Some taxi drivers from Marseille shout messages of support: "The teacher is a champion!", and "We are here for you!", "Continue, you are the best!"
Le Professeur @raoult_didier a été acclamé cet après-midi par les chauffeurs de taxis marseillais 👏 Tout sourire, l'infectiologue marseillais a baissé la vitre avant de poursuivre sa route 🙂 pic.twitter.com/roeew5pnQa

Didier Raoult certainly gives the impression of being sincere. "I have no message, I'm not trying to be popular, I don't sell anything," he said in an interview on BFMTV.
The director of the IHU of Marseille granted an interview on BFMTV in which he continued to advocate the use of chloroquine. He also believes that the Chinese did not lie more "than the French" on Covid-19 mortality figures.
The US has blamed China for a lack of transparency during the start of the Coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan, but Raoult defended the country. And since there is no evidence, he does not believe in any theories according to which the Coronavirus escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan.
When journalist Apolline de Malherbe broached the subject of a treatment for the virus, mentioning hydroxychloroquine, his answer was clear: "We have an extraordinary drug". Indeed, at least "36 million Plaquénil units have been sold".
He denounced a "completely surreal polemic delirium" after his first pronouncements in favor of this treatment. "Chloroquine gives satisfactory clinical results," he explained. Claiming that this is a perfectly "banal" drug, he said new medical trials made no sense for "one of the most prescribed drugs in the world after aspirin".
"And then it was being communicated daily that this is a deadly poison […] Suddenly, all the authorities began to say that chloroquine is a terrible, criminal thing. I've never heard such a fanciful thing."

Everyone understood that Raoult is fighting the good fight against Big Pharma. He is a hero!
Seven dead after Corona vaccination in German old people's home
MiesbachThe most important lesson to be drawn from the Corona crisis appears that it has become a great risk to be a retirement home resident. If one is assigned to such an institution, one invariably gives up basic human rights. At first it was "only" the restrictions on freedom of movement and contact with loved ones that the elderly had to endure, but now it is the Corona vaccination, which one can hardly avoid in these custodial institutions.
Referendum in Switzerland could end government-imposed Covid restrictions
GeneveSwitzerland will hold a referendum that could stop the government from imposing lockdown measures. The country has not introduced a lockdown like many other European countries, but has instead - like Sweden - mainly emphasized personal responsibility. In terms of the spread of infection and the number of deaths, it is about the same as in Sweden.
Armin Laschet to lead Angela Merkel's CDU as new chairman
The Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous of the 16 states of Germany, Armin Laschet was elected as the new CDU chairman at the digital CDU party conference on Saturday. In the runoff election he prevailed with 521 votes against his toughest competitor Friedrich Merz (466 votes). In a nutshell, the party establishment pushed through its candidate, while the voter's candidate failed.

Significant numbers of German nursing staff refusing Covid-19 vaccine
For a large number of old people in nursing homes, a Corona vaccination is likely to be given a little earlier than expected. That is because about half of the nursing staff in Germany have decided to forego the "privilege" of being vaccinated against Corona first.
The fire in the Lipa migrant camp
The Bosnian "refugee" camp near Lipa burned down on December 23, 2020. The timing is suspicious since one inevitably thinks of Moria and the consequences. What better way to soften European hearts shortly before Christmas Eve in order to achieve a similar effect? However, the Lipa case has some deviations from Moria, but none of them can really be explained.

Q: For each occurence of word in striing, replace with random word from array Here is current code :-
 function randommacrofunc($string){

  $RandomTextArray =  array("Name","Think","Person","Apple","Orange","bananna");
  $count = substr_count($string, '{random}');
  $i = 0;
  //re:
  if ($i <= $count){
     shuffle($RandomTextArray);
     $string = str_replace('{random}', $RandomTextArray[$i], $string, $i);

     $i++;
     //goto re;
  }

  return $string;
}

My goal is to replace each occurrence of {random} in a string by a word fetch from the $RandomTextArray array. when loading, its replacing right word, but with all the same word. Exemple : {random}{random}{random} return AppleAppleApple  bit I want it return ApplePersonThink

A: Try this to raplace wit random array value:
<?php
 function randommacrofunc($string){

 $RandomTextArray =  array("Name","Think","Person","Apple","Orange","bananna");

 $count = substr_count($string, '{random}'); // count number of `{randome}` in the string

 for ($i = 0;$i<$count;$i++){ // iterate for loop till the count reach
       $string = preg_replace('/{random}/',  $RandomTextArray[rand(0,(count($RandomTextArray)-1))], $string, 1);
 }
 return $string; // return final replaced string
}

$string = '{random} string {random} string {random} string {random} string {random} string {random}';
echo randommacrofunc($string);

A: While your task does not demand regex because your targeted substring is static ({random}), I do prefer the concise syntax of preg_replace_callback().
Flipping your lookup array in advance will simplify the replacement process.
Code: (Demo)
$randoms = array_flip([
    "Name",
    "Think",
    "Person",
    "Apple",
    "Orange",
    "bananna"
]);

$string = 'this {random} is {random} and {random} obviously.';

echo preg_replace_callback(
         '~\{random}~',
         function() use ($randoms) {
             return array_rand($randoms);
         },
         $string
     );

Possible Output:
this Name is Person and Orange obviously.

'Our lives lost value' The reality of being disabled during the Covid pandemic
With four million disabled people in poverty in the UK, the pandemic has hit one of our most vulnerable communities the hardest
Debbie LuxonCommunity Reporter
Nicki speaks out about the reality of the pandemic for her: "Our lives have lost value" (Image: DPAC Cambridge and Essex)
Sign up to our free email newsletter to receive the latest breaking news and daily roundups
It feels like a lifetime ago that we switched on our TV's and heard about coronavirus for the first time.
In January we learnt about Covid-19 and how it was starting to overwhelm the Chinese city of Wuhan. Three months later on March 20, the United Kingdom entered its first national lockdown to control the spread of the deadly virus.
People were more cautious when leaving the house, and we all became obsessed with washing our hands, but for people with disabilities, being wary of exposure to illness was often a common reality before 2020.
So what has it really been like to go through a pandemic with a long-term disability? Cambridgeshire Live spoke to three local disability activists to find out what life's been like for the last seven months.
Nicki, an art and music teacher originally from Merseyside with a life-long illness said: "Our lives have lost value.
"At the start of the pandemic, I would read phrases like 'only the long-term sick are dying.' That makes sick and disabled people feel like our lives don't matter. That's been a theme throughout this pandemic."

Moving tributes pour in for 'much-loved' daughter killed after car crashed into wall
Since the start of the pandemic, there has been a lot of criticism towards the government about its initial response to the outbreak. However, one of the most brutal mishaps may have been the calls some of our community got in April, as the NHS was overwhelmed with patients.
Nicki said: "I was called by my GP asking me to sign a 'do not resuscitate' [DNR] order in the event of me becoming sick. It was really traumatic. That is not how a topic should be tackled."
She heard from her support group that even those with Autism were being asked to sign DNR orders, an occurrence later reported by the BBC. Nicki said: "You can't help but see it as anything other than eugenics."
She said: "These orders are meant to be done over time and in personal detail. I've written one already with the help of a palliative care consultant, that's how it should be done."

The crisis in accessing PPE
Many will remember how much the price of hand sanitizer rose during February and March. Nicki certainly does, she said: "PPE [personal protective equipment] prices skyrocketed from their standard price. I bankrupted myself trying to get them."
She pointed out that for many, buying equipment at these inflated prices was not feasible. Four million people with disabilities are living in poverty in the UK according to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), which along with those living with a disabled person, accounts for almost half of everyone in poverty.
Nicki said: "For many disabled people there was no ability to stockpile food or medicine. Panic buying was a problem because we can't use transport or shop further afield. Food banks had run out of supplies."
She recalled her memories about one day when she'd run out of the one thing she can eat - rice. She said: "I couldn't find it, and a mutual aid group delivered some to my door."
The supermarket deliveries which were said to prioritise those with disabilities took weeks to become organised, with some customers having to 'prove' their disability to their chosen supermarket chain.
Nicki said: "People have starved to death rather than go out to get food." There have been reports throughout the pandemic if this happening, including the Independent reporting a disabled man in Streatham who had starved to death because of his access food. Nicki said: "That should never have been allowed to happen."
Julia Modern is a PhD student and lives with Lupus. She said: "The deliveries were never sorted for me and I spent hours on the phone to the supermarket as a regular customer."

The governments' communication problems
Julia said at the start there was an unforgivable delay: "The beginning was chaos. There was a delay in the government identifying the most clinically vulnerable. I see it a complacency."
According to Nicki, there was so little advice from the government in the first few weeks she and others like her turned online for strategies to keep safe. She said: "I started shielding before shielding was a thing."
Nicki said ultimately, she wasn't surprised that to her, disabled people have been a forgotten group. She explained: "In all public health crises, they're not equal events.
"If you're healthy and wealthy you can cushion the blow. If you have social care needs such as washing, eating, moving, you can't socially distance yourself."

Julia said: "The Prime Ministers 5pm announcements were filled with things that people could do once lockdown eased, but there was no mention of any vulnerable group and when we could stop shielding.
"It also took the government ages to get a sign language interpreter on for the briefings."
The briefings started in March without the use of British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters and continued like that on all TV channels but the BBC into May. Other countries such as Wales and Scotland were quicker to provide this interpretation for the 80,000 BSL users in the UK.
Then there were the instructional texts from the government. Julia said: "The aggressive 'do not go outside' text came first, then it was 'you can open a window,' they were terrifying.
"The way it was communicated felt like it'd been written by a robot. Then when the lockdown started to ease the texts and the letters stopped altogether."
Will England lockdown be extended? Hugging could be banned for Christmas Day
Is lockdown going to be extended? Official rules for Christmas to be announced by Boris Johnson 'within days'
These mass text alerts were sent to those on shielding lists, but as things started to reopen in June and July, Nicki and Julia said they were part of the population left without information on what to do next.
For Nicki, she was waiting on some important test results: "All my outpatient appointments were cancelled. From March to August I'd been waiting to find out whether I'm getting enough oxygen at night."
In June it was projected by the NHS that the waiting list for treatment could reach 10 million people by Christmas, caused by a backlog of delayed and cancelled appointments and screenings like Nicki's.
Anna Ward is a student at Cambridge living with a rare illness called hypermobile Ehlers- Danlos syndrome (EDS). Anna was rejected for a referral to a pain clinic because the clinic was overrun with patients already.
Anna said: "My health has deteriorated so quickly over the past year I can't afford to sit on waiting lists anymore. I'm so stressed that I'm now trying to raise money to get private treatment."

Universal Credit has been harder to get but more popular than ever
Applications for the new benefits system, universal credit (UC) have shot up since the pandemic hit. Nearly two million people had applied for the benefits by May, and 314,000 workers were made redundant in July to September.
Nicki said many of these will include those with disabilities, who were unable to return to work due to exposure to the virus. She recalls: "People were threatened with firing if they didn't turn up at work, and there was no obligation to furlough a shielding employee."
Assessments for benefits were also slowed due to the pandemic and those in need have been left without their correct benefits entitlement, sometimes their main income source, throughout the Covid-19 outbreak.

Nicki said: "Disabled people have been crying out for decades for adjustments that have been given away to everyone in lockdown. The ability to work from home would have allowed millions of disabled people access to jobs.
"Suddenly there were virtual museum tours, theatre, live music, as well as friends and family socialising online for the first time. For people housebound, it opened up a new way of life. Suddenly everyone was in the same boat, so the world adapted."
The local community also feels more connected according to Nicki: "It feels stronger than ever before. We have a WhatsApp group sharing photos of the Cambridge swans, I've lent people my hair clippers and someone taught us how to make sushi online the other night. It's really positive."
For students like Anna, they have been living without the fear of having to miss lectures because of their illness for the first time: "Cambridge University refused to record lectures before the pandemic, but this year I've had my best ever attendance record."

This painting came from a beautiful photograph given to me by good friends who have a home in Montepulciano, Italy. I find this scene to be quintessentially Tuscan. I was inspired to paint this setting for several reasons: the patina of the home with its crumbling plaster and weathered brickwork, the strong backlighting of the Tuscan sun, and the charm of the architecture. I imagined the respite this doorway would provide from the strong, summer sun reflecting off of the many stone surfaces.
