"COVID-19 Lockdown Exit Analysis" 21st Sep 2021
One Minute Overview
India to resume exports of coronavirus vaccines in October - India, the world's largest vaccine producer, will resume exports and donations of surplus coronavirus vaccines in October after halting them during a devastating surge in domestic infections in April, the health minister said Monday. Mansukh Mandaviya said the surplus vaccines will be used to fulfill India's "commitment towards the world for the collective fight against COVID-19," but vaccinating Indians will remain the government's "topmost priority." India was expected to be a key supplier for the world and for the U.N.-backed initiative aimed at vaccine equity known as COVAX. It began exporting doses in January but stopped doing so to inoculate its own population during a massive surge in infections in April that pushed India's health system to the breaking point
COVID has killed about as many Americans as the 1918-19 flu - COVID-19 has now killed about as many Americans as the 1918-19 Spanish flu pandemic did — approximately 675,000. The U.S. population a century ago was just one-third of what it is today, meaning the flu cut a much bigger, more lethal swath through the country. But the COVID-19 crisis is by any measure a colossal tragedy in its own right, especially given the incredible advances in scientific knowledge since then and the failure to take maximum advantage of the vaccines available this time. "Big pockets of American society — and, worse, their leaders — have thrown this away," medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan said of the opportunity to vaccinate everyone eligible by now.
US Lifts Ban For Fully Vaccinated Travellers From UK And Europe - The White House is to lift the US travel Covid ban and allow fully vaccinated arrivals from the UK and Europe to enter the country from early November. Other countries including Brazil, China, India, Iran, Ireland and South Africa will also be included in the new policy. Passengers will not need to quarantine upon arrival but will need to prove they were vaccinated before boarding a flight and provide a negative Covid test which was taken within the last three days.
Coronavirus digest: Germany to offer vaccines to children in 2022 - German Health Minister Jens Spahn said that a vaccine for children under 12 will likely be available from the first quarter of 2022. Spahn also expects approval for a vaccine for youth to go through by the beginning of next year. 'I am assuming that the approval for a vaccine for children under 12 years of age will come in the first quarter of 2022,' Spahn told Funke media group. 'Then we could protect the younger ones even better.' 'A recommendation from the Standing Committee on Vaccination [STIKO] will also come a little later in this case,' he added. BioNTech, for example, announced a few days ago that it would apply for approval of its coronavirus vaccine for children between the ages of five and eleven in the coming weeks.
Covid-19 Vaccine Rollout Falters in Bulgaria Amid 'Perfect Storm' of Mistrust, Fake News - As a European Union member state, Bulgaria has access to Western-approved Covid-19 vaccines and enough doses for its population. But a mix of misinformation, low trust in authorities and conflicting messaging means less than a fifth of Bulgarians are fully vaccinated. With few takers at home and some shots soon expiring, the government recently donated 172,500 doses to the Kingdom of Bhutan, nearly 4,000 miles away. Some expired shots are being thrown away. Bulgaria, a country of some seven million people, has fully vaccinated far less of its population than the EU average of 61% and the U.S. rate of 54%, according to Our World in Data, a project based at Oxford University. It has emerged as an extreme case study of the challenge to convince vaccine holdouts to get the shot.
Unvaccinated Jair Bolsonaro to test UN General Assembly coronavirus 'honor system' - The United Nations is demanding world leaders arriving in New York for its General Assembly adhere to an "honor system" to attest they are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. But that mandate will be tested in the general debate's very first moments. Jair Bolsonaro, who contracted the virus last year and as recently as last week said publicly that he does not need to be vaccinated because he has naturally acquired antibodies, is scheduled to kick off the 76th U.N. General Assembly's general debate on Tuesday.
Pfizer, BioNTech Say Covid-19 Vaccine Is Safe for Children Aged 5 to 11 - The companies said the Covid-19 vaccine generated levels of antibodies that were similar to those of younger adults. Pfizer will seek emergency use authorization in the U.S. as early as the end of the month.
The search for antivirals for covid-19 - Antivirals are one of the most sought after, yet missing, tools to control SARS-COV-2. Chris Stokel-Walker asks what was learnt from a similar search nearly 20 years ago. Antiviral drugs are among the most researched tools for treating covid-19. They either prevent a virus entering a host cell or prevent it from being able to replicate once it is inside. And yet, over 18 months into the pandemic, finding ones that are effective against SARS-CoV-2 has proved challenging. Remdesivir was an early frontrunner—and many governments were desperate enough to grant it emergency use approval despite limited evidence. Those early hopes were ultimately dashed when major studies, notably the World Health Organization's Solidarity trial, found it to be ineffective at preventing death (although it did help patients already recovering do so marginally faster). Doctors in Japan have treated covid-19 patients with favipiravir, an influenza antiviral, but the drug has previously been linked to birth defects
Covid Vaccine for Kids Age 5-11 Likely Available by Halloween, Fauci Says - The U.S. death toll from the Covid-19 pandemic surpassed the number of fatalities in the 1918 influenza pandemic, a milestone many experts say was avoidable after the arrival of vaccines. The White House announced the most sweeping change to U.S. travel policies in months, widening the gap in rules between vaccinated people -- who will see curbs relaxed -- and the unvaccinated. The regulations will replace existing bans on foreigners' travel to the U.S. from certain regions, including Europe. Pfizer Inc. and partner BioNTech SE said their vaccine was safe and produced strong antibody responses in younger children in a large-scale trial. The shot may be available by the end of next month, Anthony Fauci said.
End of working from home 'fuelled England's third Covid wave': Government figures show infection rates were highest among white-collar workers after No10 dropped WFH guidance - There were some 235 cases per 100,000 person-weeks among white people during third Covid wave. Meanwhile, the figure was as low as 98 in other ethnic groups suggesting white people drove cases up. And cases were higher among office-based jobs during, Office for National Statistics data shows

U.S. to Require Most Foreign Travelers Be Vaccinated for Entry
The U.S. will soon allow entry to most foreign air travelers as long as they're fully vaccinated against Covid-19 -- while adding a testing requirement for unvaccinated Americans and barring entry for foreigners who haven't gotten shots. The measures announced Monday by the White House are the most sweeping change to U.S. travel policies in months, and widen the gap in rules between vaccinated people -- who will see restrictions relaxed -- and the unvaccinated. The new rules will replace existing bans on foreigners' travel to the U.S. from certain regions, including Europe.

New Zealand eases coronavirus curbs in Auckland amid hope Delta variant outbreak now under control
New Zealand eased coronavirus curbs slightly in Auckland on Monday, as the government expressed confidence that there was no widespread regional transmission of the Delta variant of the coronavirus. But tough restrictions will continue even after midnight on Tuesday, when the alert level drops to 3 from 4 in the city of about 1.7 million at the centre of the latest Delta outbreak. Schools and offices must still keep closed, for instance, with businesses limited to offering only contactless services.

Qatar wants mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations for all World Cup footballers
World Cup 2022 hosts Qatar are pushing to make it mandatory for all players who compete at next year's tournament to have had both Covid-19 vaccinations. The Qatari government has already announced that any fans who attend the tournament next November will need to be fully vaccinated, and now that ruling could also extend to the players – and coaching staffs – taking part too. According to The Athletic, Qatari medical authorities have been in talks with FIFA and other stakeholders in an effort to ensure all participating players are double jabbed.

Can we live with COVID-19? Singapore tries to blaze a path
Only 60 people in Singapore have died from COVID-19 since the pandemic first emerged, and some 82 percent of its population is now fully vaccinated against the disease. In June, the government announced it would move towards a "living with COVID-19" strategy, focusing on tracking and treating outbreak clusters with vaccinations and hospital admissions – but without the strict lockdowns, border closures, and work-from-home orders that have been the defining feature of much of the pandemic across the world.

India to Resume Covid-19 Vaccine Exports to Developing Nations
India will resume exports of Covid-19 vaccines starting next month, government officials said Monday, in a move likely to aid developing nations that have struggled to vaccinate their populations after New Delhi restricted shipments amid resurgence of cases at home. The exports would be a mix of donations and commercial deals, and would include shipments to Covax, a World Health Organization-supported facility aimed at getting vaccines to developing countries. India has been a major supplier to Covax. When it resumes exporting, India will accord priority to neighboring countries, Africa, and Latin America, according to an Indian government official familiar with the plan. The official declined to detail how many vaccines India plans to export. India exported 66 million doses to 95 countries before temporarily restricting the shipments in early April to help ease supply shortages as Covid-19 cases rose rapidly in the country last spring.

Russia Vaccinates Indigenous Yamal Herders Against COVID-19
The Nenets are one of the few Indigenous minorities on the Yamal Peninsula in northwestern Siberia. Their lifestyle is nomadic, following the seasonal migrations of the reindeer they herd. While Covid brought travel to a halt in much of the world, the Nenets of Yamal kept moving. From December to April, the herders deploy their camps and pasture their reindeer in the Nadymski district, a region of some 40,000 square miles at the base of the Yamal Peninsula and centered on the city of Nadym. In mid-April they begin "kaslanie," a season of nomadism, traveling with their herds some 400 miles up the peninsula and moving camp 30 to 100 times during the year.

Slow but steady has seen the EU win out in the vaccine race
In March, WHO compared Europe's Covid vaccine rollout unfavourably with the UK's, calling it "unacceptably slow". As late as April, only 11% of the bloc's population had received at least one shot, compared with 29% in the US and 46% in Britain. But last week, according to Our World in Data, the picture looked different. Nine EU countries, including Portugal, Spain, Ireland, France, Belgium and Italy, have now administered one or both doses of a Covid-19 vaccine to a larger share of their populations than the UK, with a further five having overtaken the US.

Gordon Brown calls for urgent action to avert 'Covid vaccine waste disaster'
More than 100m Covid vaccine doses are due to expire and be "thrown away" unless global leaders urgently share surplus supplies with the world's poorest countries, Gordon Brown has warned. The "staggering" number of stockpiled "use now" jabs will be of no use to anyone by December, according to a new report from the research group Airfinity. The former prime minister said the failure of Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and EU leaders to agree on a plan to distribute the spare doses meant the world was facing a "vaccine waste disaster". Brown has sent Airfinity's research to leading politicians, including the US president, the UK prime minister, and senior figures in Brussels, before a global vaccine summit on Wednesday.

COVID-19: Coronavirus vaccine rollout reaches 12 to 15-year-olds
Children aged between 12 and 15 have started receiving their COVID-19 vaccinations. Up to three million youngsters are eligible for coronavirus jabs across the UK. Quinn Foakes, 15, was one of the first children in England to get the vaccine. Speaking after receiving his jab at Belfairs Academy secondary school in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, he said: "I was pretty nervous at first but once I'd got it done it was all good and I'm glad that I've done it." His mother Janine Lilleker, a teacher at the school, said: "Their education has been hindered since COVID and by getting their vaccination done it's a way of them protecting themselves and also protecting the wider community of the school."

Thailand to try alternative COVID-19 vaccination method to stretch supplies
Doctors in Thailand have been given the go-ahead to start giving COVID-19 booster shots under the skin, rather than injecting them into muscles, officials said, in an effort to strengthen immunity and stretch vaccine supplies. Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the method, which doctors began exploring last month, could be used at the discretion of medical professionals, providing it was supported by evidence. Chalermpong Sukonthaphon, director of the Vachira Hospital in Phuket, said his hospital had been given the green light to use the technique from Friday, as trials had showed it triggered a similar immune response to the regular method.

ACT records seven new COVID-19 cases, as 'detailed roadmap' out of lockdown not yet finalised
The ACT has recorded seven new locally acquired cases of COVID-19. At least four of those cases spent some time infectious in the community. However, all seven cases are able to be linked to other known cases, with six of those being household contacts. Five people are in hospital with the virus — two in intensive care. There are currently 223 active COVID-19 cases in the territory. Mr Barr said the territory would today hit an 80 per cent single-dose vaccination rate for Canberrans aged 12 and above, as appointments for Pfizer opened up to more 12-15-year-olds

Perspective | Doubters' push for religious exemptions from coronavirus vaccination may not work
Compulsory coronavirus vaccination has been a specter hovering over vaccine skeptics throughout the pandemic, but the issue is coming to a head, after President Biden announced federal mandates affecting up to 100 million Americans and such enormous institutions as the Los Angeles Unified School District mandated vaccinations, too. Opponents of vaccination mandates are ready to fight and are aiming to use religious, philosophical and personal-belief exemptions to abstain from required vaccinations. The history behind the process for gaining such an exemption suggests that those seeking religious exemptions to the coronavirus vaccination mandates will not be widely successful. In recent years, many states, including California, Connecticut, New York, Maine and Vermont, rolled back personal-belief exemptions from mandatory vaccination, making it nearly impossible to claim that individual convictions prevent you from being vaccinated.

Though lagging behind, Israel's COVID-19 jab hopes to 'find its place in market'
Nearly two years after the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, Israel may soon finally see its own homegrown vaccine become commercially available. The jab will be a very late newcomer — lagging behind the first wave of COVID vaccines by almost a year — but its backers believe that it will find its rightful place in the global vaccine market, and may even prove in the long run to be more effective than existing jabs against coronavirus variants. These beliefs were offered this month by Dr. Jonathan Javitt, chairman of NRx Pharmaceuticals, the American-Israeli clinical-stage pharmaceutical company tapped two months ago by the Israeli Defense Ministry to manufacture and market the country's vaccine developed by the government-run Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) in Ness Ziona.

Researchers are collecting samples from bats in northern Cambodia in a bid to understand the coronavirus pandemic, returning to a region where a very similar virus was found in the animals a decade ago. Two samples from horseshoe bats were collected in 2010 in Stung Treng province near Laos and kept in freezers at the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC) in Phnom Penh.

COVID-19 antibody drug Ronapreve rolled out to vulnerable patients
Thousands of vulnerable NHS patients in hospital due to COVID-19 are set to benefit from a ground-breaking new antibody treatment Ronapreve. The drug is the first neutralising antibody medicine specifically designed to treat COVID-19 to be authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for use in the UK. Ronapreve, a combination of two monoclonal antibodies, will be targeted initially at those in hospital who have not mounted an antibody response against COVID-19. This includes people who are immunocompromised, for example those with certain cancers or autoimmune diseases, and therefore have difficulty building up an antibody response to the virus, either through being exposed to COVID-19 or from vaccination.

Key data on U.S. J&J, Moderna COVID-19 boosters weeks away, Fauci says
Data needed to determine the advisability of booster shots of the Moderna Inc and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines is just weeks away, President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said on Sunday. Health officials signaled they expected boosters would ultimately be recommended for a broad swath of the population, but urged Americans not to seek booster doses until they have FDA approval. "We recommend that people wait until you get to the point where you fall into the category where it's recommended," he told CNN.

Winter is coming, again: What to expect from Covid-19 in the new season
"We're experiencing a new virus, a newly emerged pathogen, and we're trying to fight it with new tools that we don't have a lot of experience with," he said. "And we're dealing with unpredictable human behavior … which is a very important factor as well, and environmental factors that may influence the severity of Covid outbreaks and how well it transmits." "There's a lot of moving parts," said Duchin, who is also an infectious diseases professor at the University of Washington. Among them: the questions of when Covid vaccines will be approved for use in children and what percentage of parents will agree to vaccinate their kids. While the crystal ball may be cloudy, who can resist taking a peek? Let's talk about some things we might face in the months ahead.

The search for antivirals for covid-19
Antivirals are one of the most sought after, yet missing, tools to control SARS-COV-2. Chris Stokel-Walker asks what was learnt from a similar search nearly 20 years ago Antiviral drugs are among the most researched tools for treating covid-19. They either prevent a virus entering a host cell or prevent it from being able to replicate once it is inside. And yet, over 18 months into the pandemic, finding ones that are effective against SARS-CoV-2 has proved challenging. Remdesivir was an early frontrunner—and many governments were desperate enough to grant it emergency use approval despite limited evidence. Those early hopes were ultimately dashed when major studies, notably the World Health Organization's Solidarity trial, found it to be ineffective at preventing death (although it did help patients already recovering do so marginally faster). Doctors in Japan have treated covid-19 patients with favipiravir, an influenza antiviral, but the drug has previously been linked to birth defects
Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine generates robust antibody response in children, without serious safety issues, company says
Pfizer and its partner BioNTech said Monday that they would file for authorization of their Covid-19 vaccine for use in children after clinical trial results showed encouraging antibody levels in volunteers and side effects similar to those in teens and young adults. The pediatric study, in children ages 5 to 11, is the first to disclose results in young children. It used a lower dose of the vaccine than the one currently being administered, because earlier studies showed that the adult dose could cause more side effects. Adults receive two 30 microgram doses of the vaccine three weeks apart. In school-aged children, this was lowered to 10 micrograms.

'I felt this huge relief': how antibody injections could free the immunosuppressed under Covid
But as with so many other simple pleasures in the age of Covid-19, nothing is that simple for Brown. The 47-year-old Missouri resident takes immunosuppressant medication for lupus. Consequently, her body has mounted virtually no antibody response to the coronavirus vaccine – leaving her in persistent peril. Brown is among the estimated 3% of American adults who have immunosuppression, including transplant recipients and people with cancer and autoimmune disorders such as lupus.

Indonesia logs fewest daily COVID-19 cases in over a year
Indonesia on Monday reported 1,932 new daily coronavirus infections, the lowest since August 2020, data from country's COVID-19 task force showed, and the government further eased restrictions in Java and on its resort island Bali. Indonesia, once Asia's coronavirus epicentre, has reported nearly 4.2 million infections overall and over 140,000 deaths, but new cases have dropped 98% from their peak in July, senior cabinet minister Luhut Pandjaitan said. Its average positivity rate - the percentage of tests that are positive - was just below 4% this month, under the World Health Organization's 5% threshold for determining whether an outbreak is under control.

Premier warns COVID-19 cases will 'go through the roof' when state reopens as NSW records 935 new infections
Premier Gladys Berejiklian has warned COVID-19 cases will "go through the roof" once the state opens up next month after NSW recorded 935 new infections. It is the first time new case numbers have dropped below 1,000 since August 27. Four more people died during the reporting period, bringing the total number of fatalities in NSW to 301 since the start of the pandemic. On Monday evening, a positive case in northern NSW was confirmed. The person, who was not a local, travelled to the area from Sydney on September 18.

Covid-19 cases forcing hospitals to ration care is unfair and unacceptable, expert says
The magnitude of Covid-19 patients filling hospital beds is avoidable, doctors say. But in some hospitals, patients with or without coronavirus are paying the price. "We are at the point where not every patient in need will get the care we might wish we could give," said Dr. Shelly Harkins, chief medical officer of St. Peter's Health in Helena, Montana. It's one of the latest hospitals to resort to crisis standards of care, meaning emergency medicine personnel must ration care.

Ever since we were small children, we all have been told that sleep is a necessary part of life. We are told to get eight hours of sleep, no less, and for good reason. The brain and the body crave sleep in the same way animals crave food and water. Just as animals are willing to do anything for food and water, our bodies and brains are willing to sacrifice anything for sleep.
Do you know anyone who has fallen asleep while driving? Most of us have, it is fairly common. This can happen due to short unintentional naps called micro-sleep. When people are sleep deprived, they can sometimes slip into short periods of sleep, anywhere from a fraction of a second to several seconds. Just like normal sleep, your heartbeat will slow and you even have the ability to dream.
Unfortunately, it is near impossible to resist micro-sleep and they can often result in danger to one's self, especially if you are driving. It can even result in death, but the body is willing to risk that for just a small amount of sleep.
A lack of sleep can also cause other issues. For example, it can cause people to become befuddled or disoriented, loose coordination, and in some cases, be unable to retain information. As well, people can also suffer from irritation, depression, and other mental issues if they don't sleep enough.
All these negative things happen because the body needs sleep. Your body uses it to heal and repair itself. However, sleep also can be used to provide you with counsel.
Even though you are not consciously aware while asleep, your subconscious is wide awake. This can allow your subconscious to more easily communicate with you, as the conscious mind is not in the way. You subdued conscious mind let your subconscious mind to communicate not only when you are asleep, but also when you are praying or meditating.
When praying or meditating one removes him or herself from the issues of life so as to find guidance. In comparison, during sleep we do the same thing event though we may not be consciously looking for guidance.
Interestingly enough, when person falls asleep with the intent of asking his or her subconscious for assistance they receive a much greater benefit than one who simply sleeps. We may call this intuition, but it is really a pathway to our subconscious. Here is an example from Marina, a friend of mine from Los Angeles, CA.
Marina was offered a management position in New York that was twice her present salary, but was unsure of if she should accept it. She wasn't sure why the hesitation, she was recently divorced, she really liked New York and wouldn't mind living everything behind. Marina decided to meditate before she went to sleep, asking her subconscious for assistance. When she woke in the morning, she could not shake the strong feeling that she shouldn't accept the offer, so she decided to reject it. This was what we call "intuition", there were no rational reasons to reject such a lucrative offer.
Well, her intuition was right, a few months later a financial crush of 2008 happened and New York company that had offered her the position went bankrupt.
Some people believe that the subconscious is able to understand what will happen in the future because it is the result of your habitual thinking and that the future of a country is the result of the collective subconscious of the population. By knowing what has happened in the past, one is able to understand what will happen in the future. While this obviously sounds very speculative, some spiritual psychologists theorize that the events of tomorrow and beyond are already in your subconscious mind, so if you ask for guidance, your subconscious will assist you. Many believe that through prayer you are accessing your own subconscious and thus you can shape your future. Whatever you believe this or not, there is really no risk in trying to access your subconscious through prayer or sleep and mediation.

Dubai, June 5- The war against single-use plastic is gaining ground in the UAE as more and more companies and entities are ditching disposable plastics, it was revealed on the occasion of World Environment Day.
Celebrated on June 5, the World Environment Day is the UN's most important day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect the environment.
It's mainly a "people's day" when people pledge to do something locally, nationally or globally to take care of the planet. And that something this year is 'Beat Plastic Pollution' or to refuse single-use plastic.
Engineer Alya Al Harmoudi, Director of Environment Department at Dubai Municipality, said the plastic pollution is becoming a prominent global issue.
"It's important to understand that while admiring and protecting our own environment, we acknowledge that we are part of a global community, and that's why these events are important," Al Harmoudi said.
As part of its campaign against single-use plastics, Dubai Municipality partnered with Dubai Airports and distributed reusable shopping bags filled with food items in reusable packs such as fresh fruits and dates in glass jars for a 'green Iftar'. The civic body also called on the public to carry reusable coffee cups and shopping bags with them.
Single-use plastics are straws, cutlery, food packaging, toiletries, cotton buds, and water bottles and other disposable plastics.
Tatiana Antonelli Abella, founder and managing director of social enterprise Goumbook, said targeting plastic pollution this year gives a big boost to efforts they are doing locally. Goumbook's 'Drop It' campaign launched in May 2016 is designed to unite individuals and local business community to ditch single-use plastics.
"We're very happy that plastic pollution is being addressed at an international level. This is exactly what we've been dreaming of," Abella told.
She said just in the past few months, we've seen a huge interest by companies to be plastic-free. "The great news is that a majority of hotels are getting on board. It's picking up very very fast and we are at the forefront of this campaign," she added.
'Drop It' campaign's members have now reached 3,839 people from different companies in the UAE.
Natalie Banks from Azraq, a non-profit marine conservation group in the UAE, said shifting to reusable bottles and even straws only requires a habitual change.
Azraq supports the #StopSucking campaign in the UAE, following the US, that pushes the use of steel, paper, or bamboo straws.
If the local, national and global drive and commitment against single-use plastic is sustained, this generation could see dramatic results — an intentional reduction or elimination of demand for single-use plastic.

Kat's path to SURTEX has been long not only in miles, but also in time. "I first heard about this trade show years ago when I worked in fashion. Then I had kids. Now I still have those kids, but they are old enough to handle Gran looking after them for longer now."
"While this may seem like no big feat for some, for me, it has been a challenge I have been wanting to take for on 7 years — and only this year, I have managed to take the leap and orchestrate work, family, life around my dreams and invest in MY future," says Kat.
Kat has been posting about her trip preparations on her blog. "I am heading over with my art collective friends there are 8 of us from all over the world who have joined together to make this trip happen. It's a very expensive trip, coming from Australia to NY. Lots of logistics to consider: flights, accommodation, travel, shipping of booth banners, costs involved in the show! OH MY! BUT it's an investment in my future and my art."

Salmon in River Tornionjoki grow big.
River Tornionjoki is a major stream flowing almost in a natural state on the border between Finland and Sweden. The river is the largest free-flowing salmon river in Europe and catches have increased sharply in recent years. It is a traditional waterway to the furthermost end of Lapland and people living on the riverside often refer to it simply as the 'Way'.
During the peak salmon migration period, the most popular rapids get congested. If you wish, however, it's possible to fish in peace on River Tornionjoki as well. Upstream from Kolari, the river continues as River Muonionjoki, with headwaters reaching through to the heart of the wilderness of Northwest Lapland, all the way to the upper courses of its tributaries, Rivers Lätäseno and Rommaeno. This is where the world-class big grayling areas are located.
The most well-known rapids in River Tornionjoki are the Kukkolankoski, Matkakoski and Vuennonkoski Rapids, listed in order starting from downstream. Moving upriver, you'll meet the Korpikoski Rapids, the Lampassuvanto Pool and the Kirakka and Lappea areas. There are dozens of splendid rapids and pools along the river, where your ratchet may be buzzed by a big salmon.
On River Tornionjoki, salmon and sea trout are pursued by trolling plugs on rowing boats. You can also fish from the banks and flies are also used on rapids areas. However, the best way to comb through the hot spots is to fish from a boat. There are several makers of salmon plugs along the Tornionjoki riverside, while local anglers also troll many home-made lures.
Trolling for salmon on a rowing boat is the main form of fishing on the 'Way'.
The most popular trolling areas are concentrated in the Municipalities of Pello and Kolari. A comprehensive choice of rowing boats and fishing guide and accommodation services is available.
River Tornionjoki is the most important salmon river on the Baltic Sea and the salmon catch caught on the Finnish side of the river amounted to 57 tonnes in 2008, which was 2.5 times the figure for the previous year. Catch quantities can be expected to increase further, as fishing with drift-nets was discontinued in the Baltic Sea at the beginning of 2008. In 2012 the total catch increased rapidly indeed and was 122 tonnes (15 000 salmon). In 2014 the total catch reached the peak of 147 tonnes (18 000 salmon) of which 124 tonnes was caught on the Finnish side of River Tornionjoki.
Salmon in River Tornionjoki grow big, the average being about 6 to 8 kilos. The largest specimens weigh over 15 kilos.
A 14.5-kilo migrating male salmon struck a plug downstream from Pello.
While River Tornionjoki is famous for its big salmon, it is also a top-notch grayling site. Every year, people catch the largest grayling in Finland, around two kilos, from the upper reaches of the river, consisting of its tributaries Könkämäeno, Rommaeno and Lätäseno. One-kilo grayling are common in this area, but sizeable specimens are found throughout the river.
Grayling are also pursued in winter. Mild-flowing pools are favourite spots for grayling in winter.
Along the Way, anglers may also be surprised by an occasional sea trout weighing a couple of kilos. The wild sea trout of River Tornionjoki is an endangered species. The annual catch is about 2 tonnes with the majority caught from the lower course of the river.
In Mountain Lapland, good grayling spots are often located around the tree line.
The headwaters of River Tornionjoki flow through spacious fjeld landscapes, far off the beaten track. These great grayling areas can only be reached in summer by walking for a couple of days or by air.
The lower parts of the river run wide and fast-flowing in the middle of the forests. The river runs for long stretches as mild-flowing pools and faster races through the district's villages, occasionally turning into roaring rapids.
In summer, the number of mosquitoes on the riverside can at times be extremely high. A couple of bottles of mosquito repellent are therefore a must when packing for a fishing trip.
You can go fishing on River Tornionjoki with a single comprehensive fishing licence. The licence is reasonably priced, making River Tornionjoki probably the cheapest salmon river in the world.
The Vuoennonkoski Rapids in the lower reaches of River Tornionjoki is an early-season hot spot.
Fishing season for salmon 1st June to 15th August.
Weekly closed season 7 pm on Sunday to 7 pm on Monday.
Minimum sizes 50 cm for salmon, 35 cm for grayling.
Catch quota one salmon per day per angler.
Trout is protected. All trouts must be released back to water dead or alive.

Green Space Network Failure?
Planners see green space as an infrastructure grid like power lines. Can a new master plan keep it from crashing?
You don't have to be a traffic engineer to understand why regional transportation plans are important. Roads are built with an eye to connectivity and flow. Improvements go where they are most needed. Planners try to look at the big picture in order to maintain a functional network.
Montgomery County is one of a growing number of jurisdictions that are applying the same principle to environmental protection. Green space is a part of county infrastructure, planners say, that affects residents' quality of life. And like roads and utilities, green infrastructure needs to be connected to do its job.
"Any healthy system requires vital connections," said Mark Symborksi, an environmental planner at the Montgomery County Department of Park and Planning. "If you were to break that apart or clog it up, basically you get a collapse of the system."
LAST WEEK, the Montgomery County Planning Board took the first step toward preventing such a collapse. The Board unanimously approved publication of a Park and Planning staff report that sets a timeline for developing a "Countywide Green Infrastructure Functional Master Plan."
The plan would set priorities for parkland and easement acquisition, establish target areas for required reforestation tied to development, and suggest legislative and policy changes all with an eye to establishing a contiguous network of green space in the county and ensuring its long-term vitality.
The document approved March 9 proposes a roughly two-year timeline for completing the master plan. Over the next three months, Planning Board staff members will conduct outreach meetings for the general public and for targeted interest groups such as farmers, developers, and conservationists, later developing "mapping scenarios" and a draft master plan. The master plan will eventually go to the Planning Board, County Council, and County Executive for approval.
"If you have a vision—it's like anything else—if you begin with a goal in mind, you have a better chance of ending up in a good place," Symborski said.
The green infrastructure master plan concept won almost unanimous praise among those who testified to the Planning Board March 9.
"Basically my testimony just said, 'Thank you, thank you, thank you, this is wonderful, we'll do anything we can do to help," said Jane Osburn, who testified on behalf of the Maryland Alliance for Greenway Improvement and Conservation.
The most frequent criticism at the hearing was that the development of such a plan is long overdue.
"A number of the speakers last night said this is great—it seems so logical," said Marion Joyce, a Planning Board spokeswoman. "But some of them said, 'It's about time.'"
FOREST COVER in Montgomery County has dropped from 45 percent in 1973 to 28 percent in 2000 and the remaining forest is more fragmented than ever, Symborski said.
Large, contiguous forest parcels provide habitat for plants and animals that flourish in interior forest and because they stave off invasive species, which do not easily penetrate large forests.
Stream water quality has also plummeted, according to the staff report.
The development responsible for those changes isn't exactly reversible, raising the question of whether the Green Infrastructure Master Plan is simply too little, too late.
"We're no longer even talking about trying to protect big, huge areas," Osburn said. "We really need to protect urban forest just for the basic services that forests provide."
Those services include curbing atmospheric carbon dioxide and providing an environmental buffer to sources of drinking water. Add to that a benefit that it sometimes overlooked: having the forest as a refuge from urban life.
Numerous Park and Planning surveys have shown "the most frequently enjoyed activity in our parks is walking on trails," according to Joyce. "It's the experience of nature, especially in the downcounty area where there is more development."
Currently 57 percent of county forest and 62 percent of sensitive areas such as flood plains exists on private land not protected by easements.
Environmentalists said that means the master plan needs to include concrete measures that have teeth.
"A number of county reports address broad visions and goals," said Caren Madsen of the Friends of Sligo Creek. "We hope the Functional Master Plan will turn our visions into a realistic and achievable plan."
Planners will have the benefit of working closely with their counterparts in Prince George's County, which recently adopted its own green infrastructure master plan and is working on implementation.
"Across the country, people are starting to work on plans like this," said Symborski, who cited a statewide plan for Maryland and a municipal version in Bowie as nearby examples." Colleges and universities are picking up on it. It's an idea whose time has come."

GRC communications with foreign counterpart centers "The Carter Center"
Published on Sunday, 24 July 2016 15:10
The GRC received this week one of the great figures from The Carter Center. Dr. John Goodman, the associated director of Carter (Conflict resolution program). He has visited the Global Relations Centre (GRC) on Monday 24 July 2016, with the aim to meet the director of the GRC. The meeting held including the director General of (GRC) Dr. Adil Hassan and the deputy director Mr. Hamid Ahmed and Dr. John Goodman from The Carter Center. The visit came in the consequent of GRC initiative to open relations with foreign counterpart centers with the aim of communications and cooperation in the issues of mutual interests.
At the beginning of the meeting, held in the office of the director of (GRC), Dr. Adil Hassan welcomed Dr. John and introduced Mr. Hamid the deputy director of GRC and thanked Dr. John for visiting GRC. He briefed Dr. John about the GRC center, its objectives, role and scope of work. He pointed out the major activities of GRC, focusing on Sudan foreign relations. Subsequently the center has been endeavoring simultaneously to strengthen Sudan foreign relations, in particularly, with United States. Mr. Hamid added that The Carter Center has been maintaining a strong relations with Sudan that had played – before the separation of the south – a role of peace mediation between the government of Sudan and SPLM (led by John Garang at that time) since 1989, when OLS program started in South Sudan, in addition to health programs.
Dr. John Goodman thanked the director general of GRC and his deputy for welcoming him and for the invitation extended to him by GRC, to participate in the periodical forum of GRC. He gave a good briefing about The Carter Center in general and its achievement in Sudan in particular, he reflected the services that The Carter Center extended in the field of peace, health, training and other programs. He quoted that The Carter Center mediated between Sudan and Uganda in 1999, also cease-fire realization in Sudan 1995 to allow the treatment of Guinea worm disease and river blindness. He emphasized the interest of The Carter Center to work in peace process in South Sudan state, to push the peace process there to stop the bloody conflict breakout and escalating dramatically.
The meeting discussed the Sudan experience in solving its problems, through local mechanism (local administration or traditional), reconciliations and the national dialogue. Sudan has a firm knowledge about South Sudan state as it was a part of Sudan before the separation therefore, well acquainted with South Sudan state pertaining to the prevailing development situations and the complications created by the recent bloody conflict.
The negative impacts of this conflict will definitely affect Sudan adversely, due to the huge refugees influxes who escape to Sudan from the war seeking for peace, food and shelter. Based on these facts, Sudan need to be assisted to become able to play its role in South Sudan state, to participate in peace realization, and permanent stability. Subsequently the United States is required to normalize its relation with Sudan and lift the embargo and economic sanctions on Sudan.
We believe that The Carter Center is able to play a role – being an international peace mediator – to improve the relation between United States and Sudan, to create favorable circumstances for peace process to be mobilized by Sudan in South Sudan state. This action tally with the aims of The Carter Center in connection with peace, at the same time provide a suitable chance for a wide area for cooperation between the two centers.
The conclusion of the meeting:
1-The two centers will cooperate to push the peace process in South Sudan state by providing depth of studies and researches and suggest initiatives. The conflict should be stopped, and favorable conditions must be created and provided for applicable peace process and reconciliation.
2-The meeting outcome shall be a base for a cooperation of framework of visits exchange lectures delivered by experts in issues of interest of the two centers and training and other relevant programs for cooperation.
3-The Carter Center expected to work to improve the relations between US and Sudan in a continuation of its previous role of mediation in this connection.
4-In this respect it is expected that Dr. John will come to Sudan to deliver a speech on the prospect of Sudanese American relations and peace process in South Sudan state as well.
5-The two centers will promote their relations and cooperation for peace and stability and other relevant programs.

News about the Online Store!
Some of you may have noticed that the Jagex Store has been taken down and replaced with a 'coming soon' page.
This is because we have a very, very cool update on the way. In fact, you can look forward to us unveiling the brand new Jagex Store in just a few short days. More details to come, but for now I can tell you that some of the new items have been going down very well around the office. We've been listening to your feedback and ideas over the last year, and are now looking forward to showing you the fruits of our labor; there are even some free presents to celebrate the launch!
So, for now, enjoy your weekends, sit tight, and prepare yourselves for a new store with an entirely new range of items.


Windows Live Writter -Is Live Clipboard next?
So my vote is that Microsoft (and Windows Live) is a terrific place to be right now. I'm having a blast and relish the thought of being on a team of extremely talented people poised to do great things.
Everyone from Om Malik to Mike Arrington to Dave Winer and more have commented on Live Writer, funny but the only one who seems out of the loop is Robert Scoble, but hey he's been in Montana. Heck even Valleywag can't resist a remark or two.
One of the most consistent threads running through the comments about Live Writer is that of it's promise, especially in regards to extensibility, or the ability for third parties to add functions to the app. Tim Heuer has already added Tag4Writer and Flickr4Writer, and Omar Shahine is right behind him with more. With the release of the SDK, and a new committment at Microsoft to opening up the Windows Live platform, people are beginning to take notice.
Look for more cool Windows Live tools in the future. The Live teams are working on all kinds of interesting stuff that will launch over the coming months.

NHK's Finest Hour: Japan's Official Record of Chinese Forced Labor
By William Underwood
Posted in: Intl. Relations, Law, Crime, & Justice, Politics/Gov., Social Policy, Asia, China, Europe, Japan | No comments
May 3, 1960:<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
"We have heard that in March of Showa 21 [1946], the directorate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs [MOFA] compiled such an investigative record. However, it was thought that if the documents were used for war crimes prosecutions they would cause trouble to a great many people. Therefore, all of the documents were burned and MOFA does not now possess even a portion of the documents."
–Diet remarks by the chief of MOFA's Asia Bureau during questioning by the Lower House Special Committee on the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty. The decision to deceive parliament about records describing Chinese forced labor in Japan had been reached six weeks earlier, on March 17, and the false story would be repeated on multiple occasions. Kishi Nobusuke, prime minister at the time, had served as the wartime czar of forced labor operations and been imprisoned as a Class A war crimes suspect from 1945-48.[1]
"We have been hearing that MOFA compiled an investigative report in March of Showa 21 [1946]. Since that report does not now exist, however, we cannot say anything with certainty. … Regarding the existence of documents like that, MOFA has employed various means and done all it can. However, we have answered in the Diet in the past that such documents no longer remain, and the present situation has not changed. We are sorry to keep repeating ourselves, but I must state once more that the records are not here."
–Diet remarks by the chief of the regional policy section of MOFA's Asia Bureau, during questioning by the Upper House Welfare Committee.[2]
NHK is Japan's influential public broadcasting network. NHK's nightly TV program, "Close Up Gendai," introduces the Japanese public to the five-volume, 646-page Foreign Ministry Report and related documents about Chinese forced labor (CFL). The records confirm that 38,935 Chinese males between the ages of 11 and 78 were brought to Japan against their will in 1943-45. They performed harsh, unpaid physical labor at 135 mines, docks and construction sites from Kyushu to Hokkaido. The overall fatality rate was 17.5 percent, more than one in six, but at some sites half of all workers perished.
An hour-long NHK Special called "The Phantom Foreign Ministry Report: The Record of Chinese Forced Labor" is broadcast on national television. The network interviewed dozens of people in Japan, China and the United States, while conducting the first research using primary CFL records. These included the Foreign Ministry Report, Site Reports and previously unknown Investigator Reports. NHK Publishing produced a 244-page book with the same title in 1994.[3]
"We knew that these reports were kept in the basement storeroom, but we were not able to confirm that they were the reports submitted by individual companies. We deeply regret not making thorough investigations."
–Public statement by MOFA's China and Mongolia Division, following discovery of more than 100 Site Reports detailing all aspects of Chinese forced labor. The reports were submitted to MOFA in 1946 by the 35 Japanese corporations that used Chinese workers. Two dozen companies remain in business today.[4]
"Regarding the matter of so-called Chinese forced labor, it is extremely regrettable that amid abnormal wartime conditions many Chinese people came to Japan in a half-forcible manner and endured many hardships due to severe work."
–Written statement to the Diet by Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro [5]
These days, NHK's programming schedule is long on nature programs and favorable coverage of the imperial family. The problem of Japanese abducted by North Korea also gets plenty of air time, while shows highlighting Japan's atomic victimization have become an August ritual. The reputation of NHK as the media entity least likely to challenge the nation's conservative government was cemented last year, amid revelations that the p

Hungary President Meets Speaker Muturi in Budapest, Urges Kenya to Consider Establishing Mission in Hungary
Submitted by oluoch on 2 April 2019
The Government of Hungary has strongly urged Kenya to take their bilateral relationship a notch higher by establishing a mission in Budapest before the end of the year.
During his whirlwind engagements with top Government officials on Monday, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. Justin Muturi got the strongest indication yet that Hungary was very keen to have Kenya make a foothold in Budapest. Nairobi and Budapest have had cordial bilateral relations for over 50 years, with Hungary having established its mission soon after Kenya's independence.
In a meeting between Speaker Muturi and the President of Hungary, H.E. Mr. János Áder, at the at the Sándor Palace, President Áder implored on the government of Kenya to establish a stronger presence in Budapest by the end of the year noting that would be a hallmark in the history of their bilateral relations. On his part, Speaker Muturi undertook to deliver the request of the Hungarian Government to President Uhuru Kenyatta, adding that Kenya was keen to have its footprint in Budapest as a gateway to Central and Eastern Europe. Currently, the Kenyan Embassy in Vienna, Austria is in charge of Hungary.
" Kenya values its relationship with Hungary as a strategic partner in our development agenda. We will strongly consider this request to establish a mission and I commit to engage President Uhuru Kenyatta on the same", Speaker Muturi said. Speaker Muturi also delivered a special message from President Kenyatta to President Áder, extending an invitation to him to visit Kenya in January 2020.
Earlier on in a meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister of Hungary, H.E. Mr. Zsolt Semjén, Speaker Muturi expressed his gratitude following an agreement last year that saw Hungary commit to offer over 100 annual scholarships to Kenya. There are now more than 300 students under government scholarship in Hungary.
Speaker Muturi also met the Hungarian Minister for Foreign Affairs, H.E. Mr. Péter Szijjartór. The Minister revealed that the Hungarian Government had identified a suitable property and was ready to help the Kenyan Government to buy or lease the property for purposes of putting up an Embassy.
The Minister further informed Speaker Muturi that Hungary were also looking forward to Kenya signing the Framewotk Agreement on Financial Cooperation between Kenya and Hungary which is expected to pave the way for a tied-aid credit facility to Kenya, in support of healthcare projects such as the establishment of an Oncological cancer centre at the Nyeri Level 5 hospital and to establish the Beyond Zero Mother and Child Hospital at the Kenyatta National Hospital.
Speaker Muturi who concluded his 4-day visit to Budapest yesterday, was on an official visit on the invitation of the Speaker of Hungary Parliament, H.E László Kövér and accompanied by Hon. Jeremiah Kioni, Hon. Robert Pukose, Hon. Gladys Boss Shollei, Hon. Paul Ongili and the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr. Michael Sialai.
