Fans react to Nigella Lawson's throwback photo: 'Gorgeous'
Hannah Millington
Watch: Nigella Lawson's delicious crab mac and cheese
Nigella Lawson has shared a photo that is more than 25 years old in commemoration of her long-with-standing friendship with fellow foodie Ruthie Rogers.
The just turned-62-year-old food writer and television cook, loved for her very Nigella-esque cooking shows, says she reposted the photo after it "touched" her heart, when seeing it on Rogers' Instagram account.
The photo features Nigella and Ruthie, as well as Ruthie's husband Richard Rogers, and "my ear", she joked.
Fans have flooded the comments, acknowledging how good she looked. "You're absolutely gorgeous then and now!", said one, while another wrote "You haven't changed at all! Beautiful as usual!'. One fan even acknowledged her joke with, "That is a very fine ear though".
A post shared by Nigella (@nigellalawson)
Nigella writes the photo was "taken over 25 years ago (actually, probably 30 years ago) and it touched my heart and thought I'd repost it here", on her own Instagram. "And if you haven't listened to Ruthie's and my chat, celebrating food and friendship for the River Cafe Table 4 podcast (it's episode no 15) and would like to, it's available wherever you get your podcasts." Nigella explains she's given a link to it on the Apple Podcasts app which you can reach via the link in her bio.

Nigella appeared on Ruthie's podcast the River Cafe Table 4, with the name based off The River Cafe in London, an Italian restaurant run by Ruthie, and much-loved by musicians, writers, actors, politicians and celebrities galore.
The caption for Ruthie's original post reads: "For thirty years Nigella Lawson and I have been close friends. We have cooked together, travelled together and shared a love for everything Italian.
"You might think we would have nothing more to discuss but listen to episode 15 of River Cafe table 4 and and you will discover as they do, that food and friendship is forever."

Nigella's heart was also no doubt "touched" when celebrating her 62nd birthday yesterday. She shared a photo of her birthday cake and recipe, writing "#RecipeOfTheDay is my Birthday Custard Sponge. Not that you need the excuse of a Birthday to make and eat it!" She pointed out the link for this can also be found in her bio, with which she always adds a helpful explainer for anyone who might not know hot to reach it that way.

The Houdie family's master had personally left for Shilolin in order to attend the Supreme Court of the Star Alliance. Hints regarding this matter could already be found on Xingyou as well as other platforms on the Star Network.
However this was not a leak, but due to Houdie family's exclusive work. The purpose behind it was to pave a way for the following events once they win the trial and take the cub back. At that time they intend to take advantage of the fact that the cub had developed a variant ability and showcase this to the public in order to boost their reputation and status.
Xie Tao calmly sat down in his seat. The interstellar court was very different in many aspects when compared to the court of the 21-century earth. However, for the past few days, he had frantically studied and exhausted himself to the bone in order to mend this part of his common sense regarding this world.
The sound representing the beginning of the trial had already echoed throughout the building and from now on everything happening in the court was being recorded. After the trial, a permanent recording would be kept and filed at the Supreme Court of the Star Alliance.
The recording would also be shared with all the courts of the races who were part of the Star Alliance. If a plaintiff was not fully confident, they would generally not dare to stand here directly.
Of course, the same went for the advocate who would fight their claim and present evidence on Xie Tao's behalf. Once the trial began, the people sitting opposite Xie Tao on the platform were the first to speak.
Tapping the black cane against the floor, the Houdie family's master seated at the table appeared very collected and did not make any remarks. The man standing next to the other presented the case and gave an overview of their standpoint.
Not thinking of this trial as especially difficult, the man stated and pressed the simple core points once he finished presenting their stance, "In this case the evidence clearly shows that the cub belongs to the Houdie family, but despite this, the other side still insisted on refusing to cooperate. This behavior is absolutely unreasonable according to Star Alliance law. In other words, it's a violation of the laws of the Star Alliance itself.
The evidence was sufficient to prove the other side's standpoint. After confirming that the documents presented as evidence did not contain any signs of forgery, the 11 judges seated above in the circular venue had a slight bias in their hearts.
The trial required fairness, however, even though the trial had only just begun, the judges present already also felt that the trial would not have any suspense. It was a very simple and direct case.
On the Houdie's side, the man who had spoken felt that there was completely no need to listen to the other side's speech. No matter how much the other debated, it was impossible to dispel his rational explanation.
Although the judges and the grand judge had not yet made any statements, their attitude could faintly be seen from the inadvertent nodding of several judges, as well as the change in their expressions.
But either way, both sides still had the right to speak. When they received the indication that it was their turn to speak, Xie Tao stood up from his seat.
"A nursing club needs to be responsible for all cubs in the club. Based on this principle, I can not let the Houdie family take the cub back."
Xie Tao sincerely and calmly declared this. Standing upright under all the judges' scrutinizing gaze, he did not show an ounce of hesitation.
If only by looking at his expression, the judges really could not say that the other appeared to be in even the smallest of disadvantage. The young man on the right side of the hovering platform appeared very calm from beginning to end. Very calm and convincing.
After simply stating his standpoint, Xie Tao entrusted the rest to the defendant by his side and shifted his eyes to the closed wooden door below the hovering platform.
There was more than one witness behind that door who had followed them to Shilolin.
"According to Star Alliance law, families who intentionally abandon their cubs will lose custody of their cubs. This action also violates Article 39 of the Star Alliance Law and is a vile deed requiring punishment."
When the defendant said this, not only did the faces of the other side slightly change, but all the judges present also suddenly became more serious when they heard the two words "intentionally abandon".
Realizing that there unexpectedly might be some more to the situation, the eleven judges took back their previous weak biases.
However, the defendant had not submitted any substantial evidence to support the claim. His words alone did not hold any power and would not hold up as a defense.
Just as if hearing what the judges were thinking, the defendant standing beside Xie Tao made a request for a witness to appear in court.
Witness? There were several people from the Houdie family present in the court and when they heard the other party wanted to call a witness, the hearts of the ones who knew the truth speed up. They had finally begun to feel a little unsettled.
At that time, they had handled the matter very neatly and had not left anything behind for others to find.
There was only "that one" who had been paid off in order to complete the task for the family and after the work was done they had agreed that that person would hide far away.
Even they couldn't find where that person was now, it was even more impossible for the other party to find that man… Convincing themselves with this, the few people in the courtroom had barely settled down when they caught sight of the person waking out of the dark brown door and were thrown into disorder. They forgot themselves for a split second and their faces became incomparably stiff in an instant.
Even the Houdie family's master, who even before the trial started had acted as if they had already won, now had no choice but to tighten his grip on the cane.
They were in the Supreme Court of the Star Alliance, even though the Houdie now wanted to kill the one who walked out of that door, they could do nothing but throw threatening glares at the other.
The middle-aged man, who entered the courtroom under their eyes, trembled in fear as he walked up to where he was supposed to stand. He did not dare to have any eye contact with the Houdie family.
As a witness, Ogie first stated his identity and then told his previous experience of working as a servant for the Houdie family. This directly pointed out the connection between the two.
"About two years ago, my master gave me a lot of money to abandon the cub on a distant planet and told me to never return to Hailumite after I finished the task, preferably that I stay as far away as possible."
Ogie told the group of judges seat above about the incident. One could tell from his voice that he was still in a state of panic, "I was blinded by money at that time, and I regretted it many times throughout the past years, and… And that is why I'm willing to testify today."
"Our family has never hired such a servant."
The Houdie family's master seated at the prosecutor's table struck his cane against the ground, making a dull noise. His eyes were fixated on the person who had just spoken.
The wittiness seat was very close to the prosecutor's table. As soon as Ogie lifted his eyes a little, he came into contact with the oppressive stare of the Houdie family's master, the power behind it almost made him feel like it would poke a hole in his body.
"The cost of perjury is very heavy. I advice you to not harm yourself on impulse." [1]
He did not know how the other party managed to dig up a witness which even their family was unable to find. But the Houdie family's old master basically did not have any intention of admitting that the other side had once worked for their family and insisted that the other was perjuring.
Mentioning the word "cost", the Houdie master was clearly making a threat. As long as the other was not an idiot, he would be able to catch the hidden implication of revenge in that sentence.
Hearing the threat, a chill went down Ogie's back. Under the old man's sharp eagle-like eyes, Ogie swallowed down his saliva and with difficulty just barely managed to stop himself from running away before the battle. His forehead had long been dotted with cold sweat due to excessive fear.
If asked if he was not worried about the Houdie family's retaliation- of course he was afraid of it. If he hadn't been caught by those Star Alliance investigators and learned the identity of the one who caught him which gave his courage a boost of 10 000, he would never have dared to appear in court as a witness.
Those who caught him assured him that he would not suffer retaliation from the Houdie family and said that if he was willing to attend as a witness, they would slightly lighten his punishment as an accomplice in the abandonment of the cub.
"First of all, should the witness be unable to prove that he has in fact worked for the Houdie family, then this is merely a groundless accusation. Under this premise, the witness's testimony holds no validity. "
The prosecuting attorney next to the Houdie family's master immediately killed his claim by directly accusing the middle-aged man standing at the witness stand of perjury.
How could the other party possibly come up with evidence that proved he had once worked for the Houdie family? After thinking about it for a while, the Houdie people were sure that the other side would not be able to find any.
What evidence can there be for that kind of thing? Everything was cleaned up a few years ago. It was simple, they only needed to insist that he absolutely hadn't worked for them, and then he wouldn't have.
At that time, they shouldn't have given the other money in order for them to hide themselves. They should have gotten rid of all connections to this matter from the start. This was the only thing the Houdie family regretted now.
A man had all of a sudden appeared saying that he had a relationship with the Houdie family and that he was a man who had disappeared completely a few years ago after handling their dirty work. As a witness, the credibility of his statement was indeed limited.
But just as the judges were about to acknowledge the prosecutor's remarks, the middle-aged man in the witness stand once again opened his mouth.
"I have proof."
Many thanks to those who complimented my pitiful drawing, haha. It might not be worthy of your praise but I'm super satisfied because it has served its purpose— I received fan art!!!! ><
Guys, check out this adorable drawing made by Eithran!
Btw, on another note, my editor has survived her exams and is back! ^^

Ozzy Osbourne Announces First Post-Black Sabbath Concert
Ozzy Osbourne has set a date for the first solo show of his life after Black Sabbath.
Osbourne has been announced as part of the star-studded lineup for this year's Chicago Open Air festival, where he'll deliver a headlining set on Sunday, July 16 — the event's final night, after appearances from a roster of artists that includes Kiss, Rob Zombie, Megadeth, Anthrax, Korn and Godsmack.
Chicago Open Air 2017 is scheduled to unfold between July 14-16 at Toyota Park in Highland, Ill., with single-day passes starting at $50 and VIP passes starting at $425. Osbourne's appearance marks the next chapter in a solo career that, in recent years, has taken a back burner to his duties fronting a reunited Black Sabbath, but is set to be reignited following the conclusion of Sabbath's final tour.
Although Osbourne has yet to announce a timeline for the release of his next solo LP, he recently let it slip that he's been working on new material with Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens. "He's not gonna be in my band; he's with Billy Idol. ... I said, 'I've got some ideas,' and we worked it out," said Osbourne. "I don't want to say when, because I can't be working this other thing and my own thing at the same time."
And while Sabbath may be saying their touring farewell, guitarist Tony Iommi has reassured fans that there's still some hope that the band may return at some point. "I wouldn't write that off, if one day that came about," he recently said to the idea of one-off performances in the future. "That's possible. Or even doing an album. [Of] course, then, again, you're in one place. But I don't know if that would happen."

Diagnosis and treatment of chronic cerebrovascular disease, use of pentoxifylline
V. A. Parfenov
PDF (Rus) | PDF (Eng)
Chronic cerebrovascular disease (CCVD) is one of the most common iagnoses in Russian neurology, by which is meant vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) in modern foreign literature. There are data available in the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of CCVD (VCI). Theresults of the author's studies show that CCVD often masks other diseases (anxiety and depressive disorders, primary headache, peripheral vestibulopathy, and Alzheimer's disease) that are unfortunately poorly diagnosed in our country, so patients do not receive effective treatment. To modify risk factors for stroke (smoking and alcohol cessation, sufficient exercise), to normalize blood pressure (the use of antihypertensivemedications), to reduce blood cholesterol levels (statins), to perform antithrombotic therapy (antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants), and to use cognitive enhancers are of key importance when treating patients with CCVD (VCI). There are data on the use of pentoxifylline in patients with CCVD, vascular dementia.
ORIGINAL INVESTIGATIONS
Epidemiological study of vital exhaustion and sleep disorders in dwellers of Siberia
I. V. Gagulin, V. V. Gafarov, E. A. Gromov, A. V. Gafarova, D. O. Panov
Objective: to study the prevalence of vital exhaustion (VI) and sleep disorders, the pattern of the latter in 45–69-year-old Novosibirsk dwellers (Siberia) with different levels of VI.
Patients and methods. A random representative sample of 45–69-year-old women (n=2401) from two Novosibirsk districts were examined within the 2003–2005 HAPIEE (Health, Alcohol and Psychosocial Factors In Eastern Europe) prospective cohort study. Another random representative sample of 45–69 men (n=1770) from two Novosibirsk districts were examined within a subsequent screening study. The entire sample consisted of 4171 residents: men and women were 42.4% and 57.6%, respectively. The mean age of the men was 56.5±7.01 and that of the women was 56.3±7.07. The response rate was as high as 61%. Testing was carried out using the short 14-item version of the Maastricht Questionnaire (MQ) to evaluate VE and the 4-item Jenkins Sleep Questionnaire (JSQ) to investigate sleep quality and duration.
Results. The leading determinants of VE were the incidence of fatigue, interrupted sleep, lethargy, the degree of irritability, and a feeling of exhaustion and tiredness. The population examined was found to have a high prevalence of VE and sleep disorders. There was a close correlation between high VE and impaired sleep quality and duration.
Conclusion. The high rate of impaired sleep quality and duration in the Novosibirsk population, which is sometimes twice greater than that in other populations, is associated with the high prevalence of depression, anxiety, VE, and hostility among the population. This is due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. A sleep disorder may cause VE. It is important to promptly establish a psychotherapeutic diagnosis of these conditions, followed by their subsequent correction.
Analysis of behavioral and EEG correlatives of attention in the dynamics of recovery of consciousness following severe brain injury
E. V. Sharova, O. S. Zaitsev, E. V. Korobkova, N. E. Zakharova, E. L. Pogosbekian, M. V. Chelyapina, L. M. Fadeeva, A. A. Potapov
Objective: to determine the behavioral manifestations and electroencephalographic correlates of modality-nonspecific attention using a clinical model of severe brain injury (SBI).
Patients and methods. 35 patients with SBI in the dynamics of post-coma recovery of mental activity (a study group) and 23 healthy subjects (a control group) were examined. The behavioral manifestations of NSA from coma to clear consciousness were analyzed in the patients. Changes in the pattern of EEG and in the indices of its coherence in the presence and activation of different forms of attention (an orienting response to the sound and eye opening; involuntary and voluntary visual forms), by applying specially developed computerized techniques, were investigated. The features of associated with attention changes in interhemispheric EEG coherence (IHC) with the data of 3T diffusion tensor tractography of the corpus callosum (CC) were compared.
Results. Attention disorders were shown to be essential and an «axial disorder» in patients with SBI. There were statistically confirmed qualitative and quantitative differences attention-associated changes in the EEG pattern and IHC in reversible and chronic unconsciousness. The important favorable prognostic sign proved to be reactive changes in interhemispheric EEG relations, including frontal ones characterized by the absence of clear external manifestations of consciousness in the very earliest stages. There was a significant correlation between the preservation of CC tracts (primarily, the rostrum, anterior portion, and splenium) and attention-related reactivity of IHC, which reflects the specific, though nonrigid, structural determinacy of the latter.
Combination therapy for the focal form of mixed tick-borne encephalitis-Borrelia infection
D. A. Etenko, O. A. Gromova, A. V. Subbotin, V. A. Semenov
The focal form of mixed tick-borne encephalitis-Borrelia infection (MTBEBI) is characterized by a nervous system lesion with the development of permanent neurological disorders and a possible fatal outcome. Uniform approaches to treating MTBEBI have not been currently elaborated. Obviously, adequate treatment of the mixed infection requires a comprehensive approach and simultaneous action on tick-borne encephalitis and tick-borne borreliosis. Its promising treatment is immunocorrection with normal human immunoglobulin that contains a wide spectrum of antibodies and exerts an immunomodulatory effect.
Objective: to evaluate the efficiency of combination (etiotropic and pathogenetic) therapy with normal human immunoglobulin for the focal form of MTBEBI.
Patients and methods. The results of the treatment were analyzed in 57 patients with MTBEBI with a nervous system lesion, who had been notified in the Kemerovo Region in 2000 to 2014.
Results and discussion. It was shown that the use of normal human immunoglobulin in a treatment regimen for the focal form of MTBEBI could considerably reduce the incidence of residual neurological deficit. The administration of normal human immunoglobulin was assumed to improve the efficiency of treatment for the focal form of MTBEBI. The paper also describes a clinical case of a patient with MTBEBI, which demonstrates the efficiency of combination therapy for this disease.
Epidemiology of multiple sclerosis in the Bryansk Region
Yu. N. Yurchenko, A. N. Yurchenko, I. V. Smagina
Objective: to study the clinical and epidemiological features of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the Bryansk Region.
Patients and methods. Information about 180 (31.0%) of 590 MS patients registered in the Bryansk Region with a valid diagnosis of MS according to the 2005 McDonald criteria was analyzed. All the patients are followed up at the Demyelinating Disease Office, Neurology Department, Bryansk Regional Hospital One. The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) was used to evaluate the severity of the disease and the degree of disability. The rate of MS progression was calculated from the ratio of EDSS scores at the time of examination to disease duration.
Results. The Bryansk Region is shown to belong to a moderate MS risk area: the prevalence of the disease is 48.1 cases per 100,000; its incidence in the individual districts of the region is 5.0 to 211.4 cases per 100,000. There has been an approximately 1.2-fold increase in the prevalence of MS in the past 7 years. The mean age of MS patients in the Bryansk Region is 39.9±10.1 years; about 70% of the patients are in the age range of 29–49 years. The mean age at the onset of MS is 28.0±9.1 years. Early-onset MS before the age of 18 years is recorded in 20 (11.1%) patients; late-onset MS (after the age of 45 years) is in 7 (3.9%). There is a preponderance of its multifocal onset. Sensitive and motor disorders and optic neuritis more frequently occur as the first symptom at monofocal onset. The duration of MS averages 11.0±5.5 years (1 to 32 years). The mean duration of the first remission is as long as 33.1±26.1 (0–144) months and that of the second one is 19.2±17.7 (0–132) months. The mean EDSS score was 3.3±2.4 (0–9.0). The rate of MS progression in the region averages 0.38±0.28 per year. About 60% of the patients have Groups I, II, and III disability. Remitting MS is more common (69.4% of cases), its secondary and primary progressive course is noted in 28.9% and in nearly 2% of the patients, respectively.
Conclusion. The findings may be useful in planning sociomedical care for patients with MS in some areas of the Bryansk Region.
Changes in EEG indices and serotonin concentrations in depression and anxiety disorders
I. V. Kichuk, E. A. Petrova, A. A. Mitrofanov, N. V. Solovyeva, V. B. Vilyanov
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is an important tool to study brain function. EEG can evaluate the current functional state of the brain with high temporal resolution and identify metabolic and ion disorders that cannot be detected by magnetic resonance imaging.
Objective: to analyze the relationship between some neurophysiological and biochemical parameters with a Neuro-KM hardware-software complex for the topographic mapping of brain electrical activity.
Patients and methods. 75 patients with depression, 101 with anxiety disorders (AD), and 86 control individuals were examined. EEG spectrum and coherence changes were estimated in the depression and AD groups versus the control group. Correlation analysis of EEG indices and blood serotonin concentrations was carried out.
Results and discussion. The patients with depression and those with AD as compared to the controls were observed to have similar EEG spectral changes in the beta band. Coherence analysis in the beta-band showed that both disease groups versus the control group had oppositely directed changes: a reduction in intra- and interhemispheric coherence for depression and its increase for AD (p < 0.001). That in the theta and alpha bands revealed that both disease groups had unidirectional interhemispheric coherence changes: a decrease in integration in the alpha band and its increase in the theta and delta bands in the depression and AD groups (p < 0.05) and multidirectional changes in intrahemispheric coherence: its reduction in the depression group and an increase in the AD group (p < 0.05). Correlation analysis of EEG parameters and platelet serotonin concentrations showed opposite correlations of serotonin concentrations and EEG percentage power in the theta and beta bands. When there were higher serotonin concentrations in the patients with depression, EEG demonstrated a preponderance of a synchronization pattern; when these were in the patients with AD, there was a predominance of a desynchronization pattern.
Conclusion. The specific features of EEG in the depression and AD groups may indicate serotonin metabolic disorders and the efficiency of therapy with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

A. R. Rakhmatullin, K. Z. Bakhtiyarova, R. V. Magzhanov
Cardiovascular autonomic symptoms significantly impart quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis (MR) and, in some cases, pose a threat to their life.
Objective: to study cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction by cardiointervalography in MS patients.
Patients and methods. Cardiovascular tests (CVT) were carried out in 47 patients with MS (a study group) and in 22 healthy individuals (a control group).
Results. Comparative analysis revealed a significant reduction in the values of basic CVTs (Cresp, C30:15, and CVals) in MS patients (p<0.05). The isometric contraction test showed a statistically significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure; a severe lesion of the segmental area of the autonomic nervous system was detected in 45% of cases.
Conclusion. A significant decrease in vagal and sympathetic activities was recorded in patients with MS.
EEG markers of cognitive impairments in patients with coronary artery disease
I. V. Tarasova, I. N. Kukhareva, O. L. Barbarash
Objective: to identify the indicators of bioelectrical activity of the cerebral cortex, which are associated with cognitive impairments in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Patients and methods. The study included 122 male patients aged 45 to 69 years with CAD. Sixty of them were found to have mild cognitive impairments (MCI), their average Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score was 26.2±0.90; the other 62 patients had no cognitive impairment; their MMSE score was 28.5±0.86. All the patients underwent clinical and instrumental examinations and computer-based multichannel electroencephalography (EEG). Eyes-closed and eyes-open resting EEG monopolarly recorded in 62 standard leads of the 10-20 system. A binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify EEG predictors of MCI in patients with CAD.
Results. The high power values of theta1-rhythm biopotentials with closed eyes in the frontal and occipital areas of the left hemisphere and those of alpha2-rhythm ones with open eyes in the frontal areas of the right hemisphere, and the high theta/alpha EEG power ratio are associated with an increased risk of MCI in CAD patients. The most important clinical and anamnestic factors associated with a decreased risk of MCI were higher education level, the lack of type 2 diabetes, and milder coronary bed lesions according to the SYNTAX scale. There was an association of the power values of the biopotentials and theta/alpha EEG power ratio and the development of MCI in CAD patients.
Cognitive impairment in diabetes mellitus and hypertension, a possibility of correction
I. Ch. Khairullin, R. G. Esin, O. R. Esin
Objective: to evaluate cognitive functions in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and hypertension and the efficacy of Ginkgo biloba extract Egb 761®.
Patients and methods. 120 patients with DM2 and 50 hypertensive patients with no complications or a history of stroke and/or myocardial infarction, without active complaints of hypomnesia and other cognitive functions were examined. The exclusion criteria were prior stroke and/or myocardial infarction; clinically significant diseases of the peripheral arteries and major arteries of the head; DM2 decompensation; glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min; proliferative retinopathy; and other endocrine diseases. The investigators used the following methods for the evaluation of cognitive functions: the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and the hand- eye coordination test (Parts A and B).
Results and discussion. 85% of the patients with DM2 were found to have cognitive impairments (CI): disorders of attention, short-term memory, and thinking speed. Out of them, 82.5% had moderate CI and 2.5% had dementia. 30% of the hypertensive patients were diagnosed as having moderate CIs and 10% had dementia. At the same time, the degree of CI was higher in the patients with MD2 than in those with hypertension. The use of Egb 761® 240 mg/day for 3 months had a statistically significant positive impact on cognitive functions (improvements in short-term memory, concentration, and thinking speed) and everyday activity.
Conclusion. The authors consider that CIs are the first sign of encephalopathy in DM2. It is also noted that DM2 has a more pronounced impact on cognitive functions than hypertension. Egb 761® can be used as an effective drug to treat CI in these diseases.
Chemoreactome analysis of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate
O. A. Gromova, I. Yu. Torshin, L. E. Fedotova, A. N. Gromov
Ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate (EMHPS) is used in the therapy of ischemic stroke. A more complete understanding of the conditions that can affect the clinical efficacy of EMHPS needs the most complete information about its molecular mechanisms of action.
Objective: to comparatively analyze the properties of EMHPS using the newest area of postgenomic pharmacology – chemoreactome simulation. Succinic acid and citicoline were used as the molecules of comparison (control molecules).
Material and methods. Chemoreactome analysis was employed to assess the biological activity of a test molecule (simulation of the affinity profile of the examined molecular structure for various proteome proteins). A new mathematical method based on the combinatorial theory of solvability was devised for chemoinformational analysis.
Results and discussion. Chemoreactome simulation has shown that EMHPS may be an agonist of acetylcholine and GABA receptors, as well as that of cannabinoid receptor type 2. The anti-inflammatory effect of an EMHPS molecule may be due to the inhibition of synthesis of proinflammatory prostaglandins. Its higher safety (a weaker effect on serotonin and opioid receptors and lower interaction with Erg channels and the enzymes monoamine oxidase and cytochrome CYP1A1) distinguish EMHPS from the molecules of comparison (citicolne and succinic acid). The predicted properties of the molecule of EMHPS make a substantial contribution to its neuroprotective effect.
Conclusion. The results of chemoreactome analysis could reveal not only quite unexpected mechanisms of action of EMHPS, but also its mechanisms of synergic action with pyridoxine and magnesium. Owing to a combination of EMHPS with pyridoxine and magnesium, there is an increase in the antioxidant, anticonvulsant, stress- and neuroprotective, nootropic, and anxiolytic effects of EMHPS via activation of pyridoxine-dependent and magnesium-dependent proteins. The combination of EMHPS with pyridoxine and magnesium also contributes to the potentiation of hemodynamic, antiplatelet, antiaggregant, and anticoagulant actions, activates homocysteine neutralization and anti-inflammatory protection, and decreases the risk of proarrhythmic effects.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with extension of the central canal of the spinal cord according to magnetic resonance imaging data
E. G. Mendelevich, G. R. Mukhamedzhanova, E. I. Bogdanov
The paper describes an atypical case of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) concurrent with extension of the central canal – hydromyelia.Diagnostic difficulty is due to the presence of symptoms which are atypical for ALS, such as early age of onset, slow progression with long-term involvement of one leg, as well as extension of the central canal of the spinal cord at the level of TIII-IX bodies, as evidenced by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The paper presents a clinical case, a review of current literature on the clinical and MRI signs of ALS and on the differential diagnosis of motor neuron disease.

Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis associated with intrathecal synthesis of oligoclonal immunoglobulin G and with vitamin B12 deficiency
V. S. Krasnov, A. S. Bedenko, N. A. Totolyan, A. A. Skoromets
The differential diagnosis of transverse myelitis (TM) is a challenging clinical problem due to a wide range of diseases, the pattern of which may include TM. Comorbidity is also a highly relevant problem in the development of inflammatory myelopathies. The described clinical case demonstrates difficulties in the nosological diagnosis in case of monophasic TM concurrent with its several probable causes. An examination of a female patient with longitudinally extensive TM and a history of two cerebral ischemic strokes also revealed the reduced levels of vitamin B12 in serum and oligoclonal IgG in cerebrospinal fluid. A CNS lesion is regarded as a possible interaction of two typical pathological processes: inflammation and thrombogenesis. In this case vitamin B12 deficiency could predispose to the initiation and maintenance of the above mechanisms. The specific features of formulation of a diagnosis in patients with such multifactorial conditions are considered.
The role of emotional and behavioral disorders in the development of drug dependence in patients with medication-induced headache (review)
A. E. Shagbazyan, A. V. Sergeev, E. M. Evdokimova, R. R. Kurbanbagamaeva, G. R. Tabeeva
Medication-induced headache (MIH) is a variety of chronic daily headache (HA). MIH belongs to secondary (symptomatic) HA, develops as a complication of pre-existing primary cephalgia, and is caused by the overuse of drugs to relieve HA. The role of drug dependence syndrome and behavioral and emotional disorders in the development of MIH, which may be associated with dysfunction of certain brain systems that control these functions, has been recently discussed. The paper reviews the literature dealing with studies of the role of behavioral and emotional disorders and orbitofrontal cortical dysfunction in the development of drug dependence syndrome in patients with MIH. The importance of analyzing these aspects of MIH is determined by the prospects for applying alternative approaches to managing these patients.

Lumbar discogenic pain
A. I. Isaikin, M. A. Ivanova, A. V. Kavelina, O. A. Chernenko
The paper deals with the role of a discogenic factor in the development of lumbar pain. It gives the updated CTF classification (2014) that describes disc pathological changes and the MSU classification of disc herniation. The pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of two most common manifestations of lumbar discogenic abnormalities (axial discogenic pain and disc radicle conflict), and additional methods for their diagnosis and differential (medical and surgical) treatment are discussed. Emphasis is laid on the role of inflammation in the development and maintenance of discogenic pain and in the regression of disc herniation. The paper provides the materials of the first evidence-based guideline developed by the Expert Group of the North American Spine Society (NASS) (2012) for the diagnosis and treatment of disc herniation with symptoms of radiculopathy.
Prevention of cerebrovascular diseases and cognitive impairment in psychiatric and neurological practice: A literature review
A. G. Merkin, V. A. Kazhin, A. N. Komarov, A. V. Fonarev, V. A. Priyatel, I. A. Nikiforov
Increased life expectancy and related demographic changes, as well as lifestyle modification in the population enhance a steady rise in the incidence of disorders in middle and later life. It increases the burden of diseases and overloads healthcare systems. Therefore prevention strategies are currently on the cutting edge and becoming more and more essential. The article discusses approaches to preventing the most common mental and neurological disorders in middle and old age. It also describes cerebrovascular disease, dementia, cognitive impairment, and stroke and outlines some state-of-the-art prevention strategies.
Cognitive dysfunction and general anesthesia: From pathogenesis to prevention and correction
A. M. Ovezov, M. V. Panteleeva, A. V. Knyazev, A. V. Lugovoy, S. V. Bragina
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a cognitive impairment syndrome of multifactorial etiology after general anesthesia and surgery. The urgency of the problem associated with the prevention and correction of POCD is due to its high frequency particularly in elderly patients and to the long-term sequels that impair quality of life. To date, the possibilities of preventing POC remain controversial; there is no generally accepted effective strategy for reducing its incidence. A number of proposed techniques aimed at reducing the risk of cognitive impairments lead, among other things, to improvements in surgical and anesthetic techniques with transition to minimally invasive interventions and to the use of short-acting general anesthetics. However, by taking into account the multifactorial genesis of POCD and the involvement of mechanisms, such as neuroinflammation and apoptosis, in its development, the additional use of neuroprotective agents seems justified. Further investigations are needed to develop effective therapeutic strategies for treating POCD. This review gives the data currently available in the literature on the clinical phenomenology, pathogenesis, treatment, and pharmacological prevention of POCD.
Systematic analysis of basic and clinical studies of etifoxine
I. Yu. Torshin, O. A. Gromova, V. A. Semenov, T. R. Grishina
The paper presents a systematic analysis of experimental and clinical studies of etifoxine. The anxiolytic effect of etifoxine is due, firstly, to the modulation of GABA receptor activity and, secondly, to that of metabolism of neurosteroids that are themselves characterized by anxiolytic and neuroprotective properties. The results of clinical trials of etifoxine are also analyzed. In addition to its anxiolytic effect that partially persists even after treatment discontinuation, etifoxine is ascertained to be characterized by analgesic, neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties.

Home » Treatment of slaves in "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" by Jacobs and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Stowe compared to the treatment of the marginalized communities in America today.
*ABSTRACT *
The aim of this paper is to compare the treatment the slaves received according to "incidents in the life of a slave girl by Jacobs and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Stowe, and that of the marginalized communities in America currently. It is relevant to talk about the contextual and textual elements of both books along with the critical and analytical evaluation. It is also important to discuss the psychological and physical treatment torture that the minority received so as to compare it to the treatment that the marginalized communities in America are receiving based on their gender and race in relation to American politic
* INTRODUCTION*
This research paper critically analyses two short novels; "incidents in the life of a slave girl" by Jacob and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Stowe. It analyses the treatment of the slaves in both books and compare it to the marginalized communities in America. Both books portray the suffering and abuse that the slaves had to endure. In "Uncle Tom's Cabin", most of the characters except Tom, in the novel are female. The author was showing the struggles and hardships that mothers and wives undergo. The book also portrays the torture that the slaves underwent in the hands of white masters. They lived in horrible and unbearable conditions. The author of "Incidents in the Life of Slave Girl", Harriet Jacobs, describes and openly shows how destructive the practice is and wishes that more can be done to put an end to it. There are minorities who are still being marginalized in the U.S. today. These communities receive unequal treatment as compared to other communities. As much as it believed that slavery ended centuries ago, there are still practices that are evident and proof that slavery is real even in today's world.
*THE BOOKS' SETTING*
Uncle Tom's Cabin
The events of this book took place in the mid-19th century in Kentucky on the Shelby plantation where lived a man named Tom and his family; wife and children. A female slave named Eliza flee to Canada through Ohio after learning that her son is being sold. The masters were so in control of their slaves' lives such that they would track the slave who runs away to the north and take them back to the south. Slaves considered it safe to seek refuge in Canada because it had abolished slavery (SET, 2008).in contrary to this was Tom's movement from Kentucky to New Orleans. This journey represents a transition into danger and darkness.
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
The town where the author was born and raised is where the events of the first two thirds of the novel take place, Edenton, North Carolina. The place is not much describe but it can be assumed that it is a small street since Linda could see what was happening from her grandmothers shed where she used to hide. In this narrative the white and black communities seem closer and interact more than it would be expected. Unlike in Uncle Tom's setting, the setting of this book seem nice and no physical abuse or torture towards slave is seen but the similarity comes in when it portrays the slavery life in a different setting (SET, 2008).
*Themes*
The books have several themes that are similar but are used in differently in the two contexts. Theme such as *slavery* is portrayed in both books. Uncle Tom's Cabin illustrates how slaves were suffering and living in misery. It shows the wider picture on how slavery affects even those who are not directly involved in it. "Incidents in the life of a slave girl" portrays how women suffer in slavery including children. Both books similarly reveal how slavery affects women and their families (SET, 2008). In *race*: "Incidents in the life of a slave girl" contradicts with the perception that white people are more civilized and innately moral as compared to blacks who are perceived primitive and savage. The author, Jacobs, accounts that it is the other way round, white people were more primitive and amoral based on their cruel acts against the African American slaves. There is a lot of similarity on how the theme of race is portrayed in both books. In Stowe novel, it shows how unacceptable slavery based on race is. In this book the author suggests that the minority have an equal contribution to the society that can aid in its development in different ways. It further explains that God loved the black and white equally and so should we treat one another (SET, 2008).
In the theme of *women and femininity* both authors demonstrates how slavery affect family life especially women. The authors sympathize with mothers who were slaves because they were forced to separate from their husbands and children. In incidents in the life of a slave girl, it further illustrates how women are regularly degraded and considered inferior under slavery. On the other hand, Jacob also shows how united women can be and strengthen one another, for example the friendship between Linda and Aunt Martha. When it comes to the theme of religion there is a difference on how it has been used in the novels. In Jacob's novel, the author shows hoe religion is used in an evil away under slavery. The slave holder used religion to control slaves and put them in check (SET, 2008). They used religion to their advantage and oppressed the slaves. In uncle Tom's Cabin religion is used to make the minority feel loved and have faith in God no matter the challenges they go through. Stowe believed in religious faith and strongly believed that religion will play a bigger role in the abolition of slavery. However it also condemned how slave owners interpreted the bible to support their practices.
* Symbolism and Imagery*
The north and the South regions are portrayed in the novel to show the difference between the states. In the novels the South states represent slavery and impunity while the North symbolizes freedom and is against slavery. However the novels go further to reveal that the Northern states which are considered pure and free from slavery are actually benefiting from slave trade from the south (SET, 2008).
*Feminist theory in the novels*
Both novels portray the strength of the female characters. In Stowe's narrative, Eliza's escape with her son to safety is viewed as a heroic act. The same applies to how Cassy planned to free herself from Simon Legree (Mazzeno, 2010). In Jacob's novel, her escape from slavery was a great risk that she took to free herself from the bondage of slavery. Aunt Martha in Incidents in the life of a slave girl is also celebrated for her true womanhood by owning a home and supporting herself from the bakery business. She also portrayed her strength and courage by using a loaded gun to chase a Whiteman from her house. The novel shows Linda's bravery by taking hold of her future when she refused to be treated as an object and be submissive to her master Mr. Bruce (Logan, n.d).
*Slave Treatment *
Slavery is an unpleasant notion; it is crueler when it is only a minority in the community who receive harsh and violent treatment. The conditions that the slaves lived in were unbearable and inhumane. The treatment they received from their masters was harder on women. The torture they endured was not only physical but emotional especially for the young female slaves. The sexual abuse that they suffered stripped them off their dignity and was ashamed of themselves as women.
In incidents in the life of a slave girl, mistreatment is evident in chapter 9 where Mr. Litch tortures his slaves by starving them, physically abusing them and sometimes end their lives (SET, 2010). This exhibit shows how valueless slaves lives were, to their masters, slaves were nothing but properties. In "uncle Tom's Cabin" chapter 30 it is clearly seen how Simon Legree is yelling and verbally insulting Tom in the Warehouse. They are chained together like animals. This shows how cruel and brutal and brutal the white masters were. In addition to that they were also racist considering the names they use to call the slaves such as 'nigger'.
*Psychological effects of slavery*
Considering the suffering that the slaves had to endure during the 18th and 19th century in America, emotional abuse was not given much attention. From the physical abuse, sexual assaults to separation from families were reasons enough to cause psychological repercussions that they had to deal with. Harriet Jacob going by the name Linda in her novel underwent different experiences of abuse from her master Dr.Flint. She decided to run away because she could not endure the abuse any more. Abused slaves are on high risk for mental disorder such as depression, anxiety and suicidal attempts (Carten, 2015). Stowe's novel also shows the suffering of the slaves from brutal whipping and beating to murder. She also touches on the emotional suffering due to the physical abuse they faced, the separation from their families and also the feeling of worthlessness. Physical abuse is temporary and can be stopped and the slaves freed but the psychological repercussions are a permanent damage in their lives.
*Marginalization of the minority in America*
A minority include immigrants, the colored, female, or the disabled people. This group feels neglected and argues that the U.S Government is not doing enough to include them in the development of the country (Cabrera et al, 2014). The treatment that these groups receive is not much different from the treatment of the slaves in the discussed novels. Even though there is a constitution that that is supposed to protect every American Citizen, politics or other factors find a way of making it impossible for the minority to achieve their American Dream.
When it comes to gender equality, women have always been considered inferior in all sectors and always made to work under men. This is evident in the working environment where men are payed more than women for doing the same job (Cabrera et al, 2014). Job opportunities are also less for women as compared to men, this leads to women being the underdeveloped gender. Through the movement of civil rights led by Martin Luther King Jr., people believe that racism was abolished back in the 1960s. Studies have proven that racism is still active in our society today. Black people have history of facing racism from every angle. The policies that were established to curb racism are being ignored and hence irrelevant (Cabrera et al, 2010).
The community that was hit by hurricane in September 2005 in New Orleans was African Americans (Piven, 2005). This story unveiled the overwhelming population of the black community who are poor due to low wage jobs and high level of illiteracy. The community is neglected and forgotten. They have not been receiving support income from the U.S government for several decades. The American politics of marginalization changed due to the civil rights movement which softened marginalization. This was just a partial success more needs to be done to reinforce the present laws and policies.

What we eat matters, not only with respect to our own individual health but to the health of the planet. Just as there are certain foods that harm human health, there are foods that potentially harm the planet. In particular, meat and dairy production and consumption are among the usual suspects recognized as harming the environment and climate of the planet by the creation of greenhouse gases. Some would even contend that the consumption of meat- and dairy-related products are deleterious to human health. The argument is that consuming large quantities of beef and processed meats exposes people to toxins and puts them at risk for heart disease, cancer and obesity, among other health problems.
The June, 2016 issue of Health and Wellness Monthly focuses on climate change and what we eat. Particular attention will be devoted to strategies that would help mitigate the impact of what we eat on climate change.
Hamerschlag (2011), senior analyst for The Environmental Working Group (EWG) (suggests that American's possess a voracious appetite for meat and dairy as evidenced by their consumption of billions of pounds annually from billions of animals. It is important to recognize that producing such large quantities of meat and dairy products harms the planet not only in terms of creating greenhouse gases which warm the planet but also in terms of the large amounts of pesticides, chemical fertilizer, fuel, feed and water required to produce them. Further, producing billions of pounds of meat from billions of animals generates large amounts of toxic manure and wastewater which end up polluting groundwater, rivers, streams and oceans (see Hamerschlag, 2011).
In terms of what we eat, some may believe that it is primarily the production and consumption of red meat that harms the planet. As it turns out, different types of meat and how they are produced result in varying deleterious effects on humans and the planet's climate. Lamb, beef, pork and farmed salmon, along with cheese, are reported to generate the most greenhouse gases (Hamerschlag, 2011). These greenhouse-intensive foods require the most resources (i.e., primarily chemical fertilizers, feed, fuel, pesticides and water) pound for pound and produce greater quantities of polluting manure.
From the list of greenhouse-intensive foods mentioned, lamb, beef and cheese in that order produce the highest emissions because they are derived from ruminant animals, which generate more methane (CH4), a gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2), require more energy-rich foods and produce more manure that do pigs and chickens (see Hamerschlag, 2011).
What livestock are fed has important implications for the creation of greenhouse gases. That is, the majority of livestock in the United States are fed and fattened on fishmeal, corn, soybean meal and other grains. To grow all the feed to fatten the livestock requires 149 million acres of cropland, 76 million kilos (167 million lbs) of pesticides and 7.7 billion kilos (17 billion lbs) of nitrogen fertilizer. Chemically speaking, when nitrogen fertilizer is applied to the soil, it generates nitrous oxide (N20). When compared to CO2, N2O has 300 times the warming effect. Hence, N2O emissions generated from fertilizer application to grow grain crops to feed livestock is a major source of greenhouse gases warming the planet (see Hamerschlag, 2011).
So what are carnivores and dairy-lovers to do? One would most likely have better odds in becoming an astronaut for NASA than converting them to become vegetarians or vegans. Even if everyone in the United States became a vegetarian, which would be equivalent of removing 46 million vehicles off the road or not driving 555 billion miles, this would result in only a 4.5% reduction in carbon emissions, one of the main greenhouse gas culprits in global warming (Hamerschlag, 2011).
A better strategy would be to persuade people that they can and should reduce their individual carbon footprint to help reduce the production of greenhouse gases, and thereby, moderate the effects of climate change and global warming. While it will not stop climate change or global warming, convincing people to abstain from eating meat at least one day a week has the potential to make a difference, assuming everyone participated in the program.
If you eat one less burger a week, it's like taking your car off the road for 320 miles or line-drying your clothes half the time.
If everyone in the U.S. ate no meat or cheese just one day a week, it would be like not driving 91 billion miles – or taking 7.6 million cars off the road (Hamerschlag, 2011, p. 12).
Another strategy to help slow the pace and moderate the effects of climate change and global warming, and thereby, create a "greener Earth" would be, according to Hamerschlag (2011), to produce and consume more organic, grass-feed and pasture-raised livestock and grow more organic crops to feed humans and the ruminant animals consumed for food.
Yet, another strategy for individuals to reduce their carbon footprint is buy and eat locally produced and grown food products because for example fruit, vegetables, meat and milk produced closer to home result in fewer petroleum-based transport miles compared to foods trucked cross country to people's tables. However, despite the environmental impact of the large distances (the average distance traveled for food in the U.S. is estimated at 4,000-5,000 miles) involved in transporting food across the country, Weber & Matthews (2008) contend that "[s]hifting less than 1 day per week's (i.e., 1/7 of total calories) consumption of red meat and/or dairy to other protein sources or a vegetable based diet could have the same climate impact as buying all household food from local providers" (p. 3512). In other words, eating less red meat or dairy products may be a more effective strategy to reduce food-related climate effects in terms of what people eat. Weber & Matthews (2008) also contend that the large quantities of greenhouse gas emissions associated with producing food make food production matter more environmentally than "food miles" or otherwise the distance food is shipped.
Similar to what Weber & Matthews argue, Popp et al. (2010) contend that reducing meat and milk consumption and improved agricultural practices have the potential to reduce substantially global greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate change is real. The purpose of June, 2016 issue of Health and Wellness Monthly was to focus on what we eat as a factor contributing to climate change and sketch those strategies that would help to mitigate the impact of what we eat on perhaps one of the greatest threats to the health and life of the planet and consequently our own health and lives.
Perhaps the best approach to slow the pace of climate change and global warming would be to invoke all the food production and consumption strategies mentioned above: (1) produce and consume more organic, grass-feed and pasture-raised livestock, (2) grow more organic crops to feed humans and the ruminant animals consumed for food (3) persuade people to consume less meat and dairy products and (4) buy and eat locally grown food.

Q: on/off switch with javascript in html I have a code which has an on/off switch for disable/enable form inputs, but it doesn't works. My inputs are always off. What is the problem?

   <form name="A" >

         <input type="radio" name="toggle" value="off" >
         <input type="radio" name="toggle" value="on">

      <input type="text" name="T1" value="A" disabled>
      <input type="text" name="T2" value="B" disabled>
   </form>

A: I modified your code logic a bit, but it does the work.
Source code

   <form name="A" >

         <input type="radio" name="toggle" value="off" onClick="DisEn(false)">
         <input type="radio" name="toggle" value="on" onClick="DisEn(true)">

      <input type="text" name="T1" value="A" disabled>
      <input type="text" name="T2" value="B" disabled>
   </form>

Final result

Explanation
When you click to one of the radio buttons it gives a boolean value to the DisEn function and sets the disabled parameter according to it.

A: This is another way to do it, that doesn't involve using the inline onClick. For this reason, I moved the script to the end of the body tag, so that the elements are available in the DOM before we start messing with them in JavaScript. The code comments explains what is going on.
Vanilla JavaScript

<form name="A" >

<input type="radio" name="toggle" value="off" >
<input type="radio" name="toggle" value="on">

<input type="text" name="T1" value="A" disabled>
<input type="text" name="T2" value="B" disabled>
</form>

jQuery Solution

<form name="A" >

<input type="radio" name="toggle" value="off" >
<input type="radio" name="toggle" value="on">

<input type="text" name="T1" value="A" disabled>
<input type="text" name="T2" value="B" disabled>

"During the COVID-19 emergency, closing this digital divide has gotten even harder," writes Floberg, "Recent research shows that more than half of all low-income broadband users in the United States are worried about paying their internet bills." (Photo: Graciolli Dotcom/flickr/cc)
On September 1, Struggling Families Face Evictions Both Online and Off
To survive this pandemic, struggling families must be able to stay in their homes and connect to affordable internet, without evictions or shutoffs.
Dana Floberg
For hundreds of millions of people, rent is due today. Now that the federal-eviction moratorium has expired—despite unprecedented unemployment rates—millions are primed to lose their homes.
At the same time, families are struggling to make another payment: their broadband bills. Even before this pandemic, as many as 22 percent of households in this country didn't have home internet, mostly because they couldn't afford it. During the COVID-19 emergency, closing this digital divide has gotten even harder: Recent research shows that more than half of all low-income broadband users in the United States are worried about paying their internet bills.
The eviction crisis and the digital divide are linked in ways that reinforce generations of systemic racism and economic injustice.
The primary driver of the digital divide is a lack of affordable options—a situation the pandemic has worsened. Now people have even less money to pay their bills, but broadband is just as expensive as ever. Some internet providers, including Charter and Comcast, have taken voluntary "pledges" and expanded some affordability programs in recent months. Yet too many families have had their internet service disconnected when they couldn't pay their bills—leaving them unable to apply for unemployment benefits, access telehealth care and participate in online learning in the middle of a national emergency.
"The primary driver of the digital divide is a lack of affordable options—a situation the pandemic has worsened."
The longstanding digital divide (and these recent broadband shutoffs) disproportionately harm low-income families and people of color—the same communities suffering the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic. Only 56 percent of households making less than $20,000 had home broadband prior to this crisis, but Black and Hispanic households in this income bracket lagged even further behind in broadband adoption. In other words, it's even harder for people of color to get connected and stay connected than it is for their white counterparts, even when they have the same income.
That also means the same families struggling to afford an internet connection are some of the most likely to face eviction proceedings. That's a brutal combination—not least because people without home internet are often unable to connect to their online eviction hearings, resulting in default eviction judgments. At a single online hearing in Collin County, Texas, five tenants lost their homes for failing to join a Zoom call.
Those forced from their homes are also thrust into an even starker digital divide, one where a wired broadband connection that serves the whole family is, at best, only sporadically available. Mobile broadband isn't an adequate replacement—getting online via smartphones typically means dealing with lower data caps and less functional devices, which can be devastating for families trying to juggle online learning, remote work, telehealth and so much more.
"Those forced from their homes are also thrust into an even starker digital divide, one where a wired broadband connection that serves the whole family is, at best, only sporadically available." Even where digital-inclusion efforts exist, these families are likely to slip through the cracks. Many school districts are partnering with internet providers such as Charter and Comcast to purchase internet access for their students, but most of these services aren't set up to follow the students if they're evicted.
To survive this pandemic, struggling families must be able to stay in their homes and connect to affordable internet, without evictions or shutoffs. That's why 830 groups have urged Congress to pass a national moratorium on shutoffs for essential services like broadband and other utilities, and it's why a national movement to cancel rent is gaining serious traction.
Some folks in Congress are listening: The House passed a bill in May to suspend broadband shutoffs and offer all low-income and impacted households a $50 monthly benefit to put toward any internet plan of their choosing, along with other crucial affordability measures. Unfortunately, the Senate headed into recess without voting on any of these measures.
But now rent is due, recess is ending and the people can't wait.

Protesters gather for a dance circle.
Calls are increasing for a store in Washington, D.C.'s Shaw neighborhood to bring back the Go-Go music it played for decades.
The change didn't go unnoticed. Thousands tweeted #DontMuteDC and urged for the music to come back.
D.C. is the birthplace of Go-Go music and in one neighborhood an effort to silence the sounds is getting a lot of pushback. News 4's Derrick Ward went to Shaw to explain why people on social media are saying "Don't mute D.C."
On Tuesday, a massive rally of protesters shut down 14th and U streets. The area was filled with music during the peaceful demonstration and rapper Wale was also there.
"It's something that we grew up with. It's a spirit here," one woman told News4's Derrick Ward on Monday.
"It's different. I miss it," another man said.
