>This is one of those things that had to happen and the only thing to do is to wait it out and see what the court has to say. However, most likely it is one of those things that the court has already spoken to indirectly:
“….U.S. courts have said in the past that prisons have to serve nutritious meals, not pretty ones or those that comply with a prisoner’s idea of home cooking.
Rackleff said meals meet those standards and comply with federal nutrition guidelines…”
However, it is seems impossible to think DOC can feed an inmate on $1.70 a day but then that comes to $47 million a year.


(MENAFN- IANS) >
Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 6 (IANS) The tribal community from Attappadi in Kerala's Palakkad district on Monday shared their woes with a delegation led by Leader of Opposition V.D. Satheesan. The delegation was visiting the tribal hamlet which reported deaths of infants last month.
Around five tribal children died in a week's time. Addressing the media after their visit, Satheesan said that it was unfortunate that the Pinarayi Vijayan government had done very little to solve the problems of the tribal population.
'Gone are the days when the then Oommen Chandy government (2015) would hold a mini-cabinet meeting in Attappadi and launch a number of schemes, after taking stock of the situation. Today what we came to know is that most of the schemes have been discontinued by this government,' he said.
He added that the scheme of providing a Rs 2,000-monthly assistance to all the pregnant women here from their third month of pregnancy to be continued for the next 15 months, which included money for post-natal care, has all been discontinued.
'We recently saw the State Health Minister visiting the tribal hamlets. We noticed that the nodal officer of this place was first transferred after which the minister paid a visit. One fails to understand why that was done. And the outcome after the visit of the minister was the withdrawal of a few facilities.'
He also said that the hospital for the tribal's only has junior doctors and no specialists. Most of them just refer patients to state-run hospitals far away from their settlement areas where there are poor ambulance services.
The delegation had top leaders of the allies of the Congress-led Opposition.

The Kaduna State Acting Governor, Dr Hadiza Balarabe, on Thursday inaugurated the Scales 3.0 COVID-19 campaign, which she said would target the vaccination of 70 per cent of residents of the state by the end of the year.
Balarabe during the inauguration at the Government House in Kaduna said that the Scales 3.0 campaign was the state government’s next iteration of COVID-19 vaccination for eligible residents of the state.
She said that the programme was an initiative of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) adopted by the Kaduna State Government.
She said that it was to accelerate COVID-19 vaccination as well as ensure its adequate integration with other primary healthcare interventions and public healthcare services across the state.
“The Scales 3.0 campaign is a strategy designed for implementation within three months, using mobile special teams to take vaccination to residents’ doorsteps, in addition to integrating it to our facility-based services,” Balarabe said.
She noted that Kaduna State recorded a significant increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, with a total of 140 new positive cases in the last four weeks.
The acting governor attributed the new cases to decline in observing the measures originally put in place to check the disease, including fully vaccinating 54 per cent of eligible residents in the state.
In her remarks, the Kaduna State Commissioner for Health, Dr Amina Baloni, said that the state government had been working very hard to ensure the citizens got vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine.
She said that the intention was to reach every community across the state with the vaccine before the end of the year.
Baloni said that so far, people had been complying and had been receiving the vaccine adding that, so far, 61 per cent of eligible residents from 18 years and above had received at least a dose of the vaccine
The commissioner said they relied on the support of the local government area chairmen, who m she said had been mobilising their people for the vaccine.
She said that she hoped that the sensitisation would yield more positive results so that the target of vaccinating 70 per cent of the residents of Kaduna State would have been achieved by the end of the year.

Foreign nationals protested outside the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court Monday, calling for the release of fellow migrants who were arrested following raids in the CBD last week.
The foreigners were arrested after being unable to produce documents proving that they were in the country legally.
Allegations that they were being being unfairly treated in custody sparked the protest.
The chairperson of the African Diaspora Forum Dr Vusmuzi Sibanda believes the raids as well as arrests targeted foreign nationals.
Sibanda said that even in detention, the foreign nationals have not been treated fairly in terms of the Constitution.
The reason they had gone to court, Sibanda said, was to find out how they would be represented.
“The people that have been arrested have been denied access to legal representation.
Over the weekend we tried to speak with them and we were denied that,” Sibanda added.
He said they were also denied food and that their families had not been allowed to see them.
“A lot of them had documents and when they presented them, police did not even look at them, ” said Sibanda.
Sibanda claimed that there were people among those detained who had just come into the country for a couple of days for shopping.
He further alleged that some of the documents went missing after being given to the Department of Home Affairs.

More than 100,000 people are expected to fill the Texas Medical Center’s emergency room this weekend, but there’s one hospital in the state that is particularly well-equipped for the situation.
In the wake of the devastating wildfires in Texas, the nation’s third-largest, and the state’s first mass shooting, officials in the Texas state capital of Austin are already planning to shut down nearly all of the state hospital system.
The city is home to a handful of state hospitals, including the Texas Children’s Medical Center and the University of Texas Medical Branch.
And the city also has a large and diverse population of uninsured people.
According to the city’s website, the city “is home to over a million residents and more than 8,000 businesses and organizations,” and is one of the top tourist destinations in Texas.
But the hospital is also a critical provider for the state of Texas, and many residents in the city are already asking if they should be able to keep going to the hospital.
The hospital’s emergency department has been operating since 2010, and in the past year, the number of patients has increased from 1,500 to 1,800, according to city records.
But the hospital has not been able to provide the necessary staff and equipment to provide proper care to all the patients, according the records.
On Sunday, the state will host a statewide conference on the situation in Texas and the emergency room.
The conference will be held from noon to 4 p.m. at the Houston Convention Center.
It will feature speakers from hospitals across the state, including Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital and the Texas Health Science Center at Houston Methodist.
The American Medical Association and the American Hospital Association will also attend, according a press release from the hospital Monday.
While the hospital will have to close all of its hospitals, it will still be able open for the public, according Houston Public Health.
The event will also include “emergency care education and training, and medical education and resources,” the press release stated.
It added that the hospital would provide “financial and logistical assistance” to the community during the event.
The news conference is expected to be streamed live on social media and YouTube.

Ssekandi commended the UPDF Armoured Brigade for working closely with the people in addressing their health issues
Ssekandi (centre) listens to Capt. Umar Musisi (extreme left) who led the medical team and Maj. William Mutamba (right) at the medical camp in Kyesiiga in Masaka district
The Vice-President Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi has called for the integration of medical camp activities into Government health programmes, saying medical camps are a key tool in mobilising communities towards health care and also capturing health data missed during normal health visit days.
Ssekandi experience has shown that more people are attending medical camps because of the convenience and proximity to their home places but also that many people fear to go to health facilities due to negative attitudes and only do so when the condition of the patient has worsened.
The Vice-President who was over the weekend speaking at a medical camp at Lwemodde in Kyesiiga sub-county, Masaka district, organised by the UPDF Armoured Brigade, medical staff in Masaka said that the medical camps also help in building trust between the health works and patients and therefore making a follow-up on identified cases easier.
Ssekandi commended the UPDF Armoured Brigade for working closely with the population in addressing their health issues, saying that his office will continue working with UPDF leadership and other agencies to hold quarterly medical camps saying that will also help in disease surveillance and monitoring among populations.
The Vice-President said any medical treatment extended to the rural areas always attracts huge numbers within the community, which is a reflection that the people need medical support which he said is vital intervention to better their health and productivity.
He said the outreach efforts will also facilitate in educating people on prevention, sanitation and early detection of illness so that reporting to health facilities is timely to save more lives especially among children and pregnant mothers and avoid certain ailments.


A recent independent public opinion survey of 1,000 Americans adults showed 48 percent believe the private sector is the best way to keep health costs down.
Forty-eight percent think the private sector, not the federal government, has the best chance of keeping health care costs down and the quality of care up, while 35 percent have more confidence in the federal government and 16 percent are not sure.
Confidence in the private sector is up five points from 43 percent three years ago, while belief in the government is essentially unchanged.
The survey also showed:
Fifty percent said they are paying more for health care now than they were a year ago, but 42 percent said they are not.
The number who reported paying more for health care is up slightly from 47 percent three years ago.
Looking ahead, 42 percent expect to be spending more on health care a year from now, while just 12 percent expect their health care costs to be lower at that time and 35 percent say the amount they spend on health care will be about the same.
In 2010, 45 percent expected to spend more on health care in the next year, while 8 percent expected to spend less.

WHITE-COLLAR crimes such as fraud are on the rise.
This was revealed by police spokesman Inspector Atunaisa Sokomuri yesterday in light of views of some political parties that crimes in the country were on the rise.
Insp Sokomuri said petty crimes such as pick-pocketing and minor robberies and assaults were also on the rise.
"We have no control over these crimes," he said.
Insp Sokomuri said on the contrary, however, crimes which appeared to be on the decline included violent robberies, home invasions and murder.
"This is because of the awareness programs that we continue to conduct in communities," he said.
Insp Sokomuri said the Duavata Crime Prevention initiative was having an impact in society.
"We have taken crime prevention to the communities. We train people prevent crimes from happening or take appropriate action during a crime.
"People are now protecting their own area. They have taken ownership of their own security."
Insp Sokomuri said through awareness, crimes that could potentially have been major, have been contained and those involved were severely dealt with.
He said while petty crimes were on the rise, the force continued to carry out awareness in the media.
"It is important that people take extra care while in town or shops. Being careful will mitigate such crimes."
He also called on members of the public to continue working with the police.

That’s how many people around the world face food insecurity in 2016, according to a recent report on the global food crisis. The report stated that people who were in areas experiencing civil conflict and famine were much more likely to suffer from food insecurity and a variety of health issues that accompany the issue.
The report also shows that the number of people suffering from food insecurity has climbed dramatically from 80 million in 2015.

Afghanistan- Bombing Hits Mosque, at Least 39 Killed, 45 Wounded
(MENAFN- Daily Outlook Afghanistan) KABUL - 39 people lost their lives and over 45 others were wounded when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives inside a mosque in Dasht-e-Barchi area in Kabul's PD13, sources confirmed.
The mosque is located close to Pul-e-Khoshk Square in Dasht-e-Barchi in the west of Kabul City.
The explosion occurred at around 6:30pm when the worshippers were doing the evening prayer.
Eyewitnesses told TOLOnews that the number of wounded was more than 50.
The eyewitnesses said the suicide bomber was in the middle of the mosque among the worshippers when he detonated the explosives embedded with his body.
According to an eyewitness, women and children were also among the victims of the attack.
Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish said in a post on social media that based on initial reports, 20 people were killed and 40 others were wounded in the mosque attack.
Security forces cordoned off the area one hour after the explosion.
The Ministry of Public Health said in a statement that many of the wounded are in critical condition.
Many people were chanting slogans against insurgents outside the mosque few hours after the attack.
President Ashraf Ghani in a statement sent hours after the incident condemned the attacks on Kabul and Ghor mosques and called them inhuman and against the values of Islam.
The president said the attacks were aimed at creating division among the people, adding that these nefarious acts will not yield any result and will not affect the unity of Afghans.
Daesh has claimed responsibility of the attack.
This attack occurred just hours after an explosion close to a mosque in Daleema district in Ghor province in which at least 10 people were killed and many other were wounded.
Afghanistan witnessed many attacks on mosques in the past few months.
In August, more than 30 people lost their lives in a coordinated militant attack in Imam Zaman Mosque in Qala-e-Najarha area in Kabul's PD15.
Another attack on al-Zahra Mosque in Herat province, in the west of Afghanistan, killed at least six people and wounded many others. (Tolonews)

Last year, as part of the Council tax increase, local residents were promised much needed additional Police officers by Labour run Stockport Council. Now, as concerns over rising crime continue, people are starting to doubt Labour’s promises and are asking what has happened to the new officers? The Mayor of Greater Manchester had pledged 320 extra Police across the city region which should have resulted in an extra 32 here in Stockport.
Speaking at a recent Council meeting, Liberal Democrat Group Leader, Cllr Mark Hunter demanded to know how many extra Police officers were in post and said that local people should get what they have already paid for.
Cllr Hunter commented “Local people want to know why we are still waiting for the increased Police presence that we were promised last year. At a time when concerns over crime levels continue to grow it’s about time that Labour-led Stockport and the Combined Authority got their act together and delivered on their pledge. The Lib Dems will continue to campaign for safer streets until they do!”

Criticizing the Central Government for withdrawing life insurance cover of Rs. 50 lakh announced for health workers if they die while discharging their duties, H. T. Mallikarjun district president of All India United Trade Union Centre has said that the government has backstabbed the health workers by withdrawing the insurance cover.
In a release, he said that on March 24 , the government has issued an order stating that insurance cover ends for the health workers.
Stating that health workers need insurance cover mainly when the cases of Covid and exponentially high in the second wave and health workers are facing more life threat from the virus, in such as situation, the government has withdrawn the insurance cover.
He said that it is disheartening that the government has not concern for the families of health workers who are putting their lives on risk to save lives of Covid infected persons.
Taking jibe at the centre, he said that the government shows only symbolic and hollow care for health workers by asking people to clap or beat the plates, but when it comes to doing a real job, the Government hides itself. He demanded the government to immediately resume the service and start bringing all the health workers under the insurance cover


There are new rules which are going to be affecting the rules of British nationals who are currently receiving the payment which has been stated by the government. The department of pension and work which is DWP has announced some changes when we talk about state pension which is going to be introduced next year in the early days. the changes which have been done are going to affect some of the British nationals who currently receive the payment which has been stated by the government.
State Pension Rule Changes 2022
The people who have reached the age of pension who are currently 66 years old are going to be able to claim the pension in the state, but it seems like it has been announced by the government of UK, the people who are in abroad are going to have different calculated payment. It has taken place after Uk left the European Union after the whole scenario with Brexit.
The state pension of the person is going to be dependent upon the National Insurance record and it is going to take into account the National Insurance which has been built before the new state pension was being introduced in the year 2016 and also when we talk about credits and contributors.
It has been stated, people are not going to get the same amount which has been stated by the trustworthy sources, the full rate when we talk about new state pension is currently 179.60 Euros which is for a week which is just over 9,350 Euros a year.
The latest update which has come from the government is that the pension which is going to be calculated is going to be affecting the people who have moved to EEA, EU or when we talk about Switzerland and also those people who have lived in previously in New Zealand, Canada, and Australia before 1st March 2021.
The person who delivers the state pension who is the DWP has explained, the changes are going to be affecting the people, doesn’t matter the fact if they have claimed their pension or not and he has stated further, the changes are going to be approved by the UK parliament.
It has already been seen, the state pension has increased by 2.5% which has happened in the month of April, the annual rise has been the result of the ruling which is ‘triple lock’ which has worked as a safeguard for the pension takers as they are not going to lose value because of the inflation rate.
