https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/spell-reward-based-token-abracadabramoney-162650 | With DeFi booming, many projects and platforms are vying for a pie in a similar market. In this scenario, millions of interest-bearing tokens are being held idle in the market, which can be put to great use. Abracadabra.money is a lending platform that seeks utility in these idle tokens as collateral by providing users access to US dollar-pegged stablecoins. Let's discuss the SPELL token and its associated platform Abracadabra.money.
Abracadabra.money: Introduction
Abracadabra is a decentralized lending platform that allows users to take advantage of their interest-bearing position by borrowing against it. Users can borrow a stablecoin called Magic Internet Money (MIM) by using their interest-bearing tokens (ibTKNs), such as yvYFI, yvUSDC, yvUSDT, xSushi, etc., as collateral. The borrowed stablecoins can again be used as collateral for borrowing more stablecoins. This looped arrangement allows the platform to offer many cryptocurrency pairs that are not supported by other DEXs.
The platform uses the Kashi lending technology, first introduced by SushiSwap. This technology lets users access Abracadabra’s isolated lending markets where the risk is not shared collectively. If the liquidity in one currency pair is lost, the effect doesn’t permeate to other markets. SPELL is the native token of the platform, while MIM is the stablecoin used for providing loans to borrowers.
The platform also offers various farming opportunities for users to stake their LP tokens for farming SPELL tokens. Currently, farming is available on ETH-SPELL and MIM-3CRV LP tokens.
SPELL Token: Fundamental Analysis
SPELL is the native token of the Abracadabra.money platform with staking as the primary use case. For staking their SPELL tokens, users get sSPELL tokens as rewards. SPELL token holders also have voting rights and can claim interest streams generated via MIM lending by the platform.
The maximum supply of the SPELL is 196 billion, while its current circulating supply is around 84 billion tokens.
Short-Term Technical Analysis
SPELL token is trading at $0.005 today and is a part of the top 150 list by market cap. The token has corrected steeply from its 2022 high of $0.026 but has started showing signs of strength over the past month.
Source: TradingView, Binance
Its journey ahead remains cautious - after overcoming a long term trendline resistance in March, it has lost it as support this week and is now making another attempt at reclamation. Should the level be claimed, targets of $0.006 and $0.007 will be in play.
Future Potential
SPELL token posits high growth possibilities for the unique use case it solves, i.e., deriving value out of an idle asset. As DeFi continues to grow, the need to find better uses of the defi tokens will rise beyond their platform functionalities.
SPELL token witnessed its fair share of controversy in 2022 when the Frog Consortium, of which Abracadabra.money is a part, experienced a massive sell-off. The token saw a massive bear market in January but had regained a part of its lost glory by the end of March. To be considered a viable investment, the SPELL token needs to register further growth and momentum towards being a top 100 cryptocurrency.

http://en.people.cn/n3/2022/0406/c90000-10080634.html | TCM, proved effective against COVID-19, is recommended by WHO
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is found to be effective against COVID-19 by experts from the World Health Organization (WHO), which recommended combining TCM with existing treatments in a report.
The report, published on WHO's website after an expert meeting to evaluate TCM's effectiveness in treating COVID-19, suggests TCM is a safe approach and can reduce the risk of progression from mild-moderate to severe cases.
The three-day meeting was held online, and 21 international experts participated. They reviewed the results of 12 randomized controlled trials related to the TCM treatment, and then wrote the report.
Further data shows TCM may shorten the time for viral clearance, and early application may result in better clinical outcomes. But evidence on the benefit for severe cases is limited and further evaluation is needed.
The report recommended TCM interventions to the COVID-19 control system of WHO members. China's way of combining TCM with modern medicine is also recommended.

GENEVA, April 6 (Xinhua) -- Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are beneficial in the treatment of COVID-19, particularly mild-to-moderate cases, according to a new report released by the World Health Organization (WHO).
It also encourages member states to consider the potential use of TCM for the management of COVID-19 in the context of their healthcare systems and regulatory frameworks.
The report came in late March after a WHO Expert Meeting on Evaluation of TCMs in the Treatment of COVID-19 was held virtually from Feb. 28 to March 2.
The meeting gathered 21 international experts from the six WHO regions to consider three reports, including on clinical service, research and evidence-based evaluation provided by national expert groups in China.
According to the WHO report, there are also promising data to suggest that TCM is beneficial in reducing the risk of progression from mild-to-moderate cases to severe COVID-19.
For mild-to-moderate cases, the report noted there is encouraging evidence that the studied TCMs, when administered as add-on interventions to conventional treatment, may shorten the time for viral clearance, resolution of clinical symptoms and length of hospital stay when compared to conventional treatment alone.
Meanwhile, experts hold that the studied TCM interventions, given in addition to conventional treatment, were well tolerated and have a safety profile that is comparable to that of conventional treatment alone.
There is also encouraging evidence that early application of TCM may result in better clinical outcomes for patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19, the report added.
Based on the findings, the report recommends that the WHO share the outcomes of the meeting with member states in a timely manner, given the evolving nature of COVID-19 globally.
For member states, in addition to considering the potential use of TCMs, it is also recommended that they share experiences and lessons, particularly those actively acquired through this organized research program in TCM and clinical experience from China.
Participants of the expert meeting expressed their appreciation of the significant investment and effort made by the Chinese government and its researchers to advance knowledge and to develop therapeutics for the management of COVID-19 from the outset of the current pandemic.
They added that further research is warranted on TCM for the treatment of COVID-19 since the progress to date lays a strong foundation for international collaboration and cooperation that will potentially benefit human health globally through more effective and appropriate application of TCM for COVID-19.

https://theconversation.com/hannah-gadsby-navigates-the-mirror-maze-of-trauma-as-an-autistic-gender-queer-comedian-176010 | There is a moment in Hannah Gadsby’s Ten Steps To Nanette that spoke so eloquently about an experience I have never quite been able to articulate that I had to put the book down and go make a cup of tea. Recalling her upbraiding by an art teacher following her submission of a fact-filled essay, Gadsby writes:
I felt ashamed that I hadn’t understood what had been expected of me, and even more ashamed by the fact that art on its own apparently didn’t make me ‘feel’ anything. I understood that art made other people feel things, and I thought that if I could understand what it was that made the feeling happen then I would be able to have the feelings too.
Review: Ten Steps to Nanette – Hannah Gadsby (Allen & Unwin)
Like Gadsby, it was not until my adulthood diagnosis of autism that I had the gift of self-knowledge that comes with understanding the way your brain works. Reading Gadsby’s reflection on that essay, I wanted to read it myself: it seemed such a clear example of something autistic author Steacy Easton has described in an essay for Kadar Koli as the way “exchanging facts, exchanging the taxonomic list, becomes an act of solidarity and intimacy” for autistic people. In writing Ten Steps to Nanette, and offering her obsessions such as art history (which she studied at university, and has presented gallery tours, stand-up and TV shows about), narrative structure and the creative process, Gadsby has shared her taxonomic list.
Read more: Autism is still underdiagnosed in girls and women. That can compound the challenges they face
Comedy success and life as a gender queer autistic person
Readers who come to this memoir to discover how Gadsby created her successful show will not be disappointed; nor will readers interested to hear how she rose through the comedy ranks. She writes about both things with engaging candour, particularly about how Nanette gaining traction during the #metoo era has “been recontextualised as merely my response to [#metoo], and not as something I created under a completely separate set of very personal compulsions”.
Turning narrative expectations on their heads, Gadsby begins the book with “Step One: Epilogue”, which serves as a flash forward – a short glimpse into her post-Nanette life as the toast of Los Angeles industry parties. There may be readers hungry for more Hollywood gossip, but those opening pages are the last we hear of her more recent successes, before Gadsby plunges us back in time and guides us, more or less chronologically, through her life as “a financially insecure autistic Australian gender queer vagina-wielding situation”.
Gadsby’s family are presented with an incredible warmth that never drifts into cheap sentiment. We are delighted by her mother’s outrageous knack for a gag at her own (and often others’) expense – an early stand-up gig where her mum’s heckling eventually provides a nervous Gadsby with her punchline is hysterical – even as we sometimes recoil from the same woman’s complex journey towards accepting Gadsby for who she truly is.
Gadsby’s eye for character detail is sublime. In one moment, where her teenage self rides a tortuous route home to avoid being teased for her polystyrene helmet by local cool kids, she arrives home hours late, anticipating her mother’s wrath: “I found her out by the washing line being angry at the pegs.”
Similarly, Gadsby offers a complex and nuanced account of life in small-town Tasmania in the 1980s and 90s, with heartfelt portraits of people who mattered to her (and even some who didn’t) alongside the simple fact of it being an environment where class divides were deep and racism and homophobia were rampant. This is not a memoir of the good old days – rather, a stark reminder of what those days did to good people.
She reflects, with an adult’s wisdom, on her early childhood memories of the woman her mother paid to help look after little Hannah. In a short paragraph, Gadsby gives a heartbreaking glimpse into the agony experienced by this “kind and gentle” woman, a survivor of appalling abuse, in her short life. The dignity Gadsby affords people who have slipped through society’s cracks is profound.
If Gadsby is kind to the people who mattered in her life, she also treats her younger selves with dignity and care; she often hypothesises what she might do now, if she were able to travel through time and sit with herself in moments of pain. Through the book, Gadsby also offers retrospective asides that provide the context she was only able to understand with the hard-won self-knowledge of diagnosis: that, for example, young girls on the autism spectrum are uniquely at risk from sexual predators, or that ADHD and autism can affect a person’s executive function (the mental skills used to manage daily life).
Autism ‘core’ to identity, but not defining
This is not a book “about” Gadsby’s late diagnosis of ADHD and autism spectrum disorder, and as she is quick to note in “Step Six: Whirl, Interrupted”: “my neurobiology is at the very core of my thinking and, as such, it sits at the heart of who I am – but it does not define me”. She carefully discusses the barriers to diagnosis that are faced by older women and gender diverse people, whose experience may not fit the male-skewed diagnostic criteria, and the fact that diagnosis is expensive and difficult to obtain. She is also aware that discussing one’s diagnoses invites “the howling opinionated rage of others”. But there is a specificity to Gadsby’s prose that, like Emma A. Jane’s recently published and equally bracing memoir Diagnosis Normal (Penguin), makes Ten Steps a thrillingly and distinctly autistic read.
Gadsby writes that she does not “have the luxury to skip over” the myriad myths surrounding ADHD and autism. I am about to introduce one here, to pinpoint a quality of Gadsby’s work that I suspect will be dismissed rather than celebrated. (I don’t need to suspect, in fact; one US review bemoans Ten Steps’ “exhaustive and, at times, a tad exhausting” recollection of Gadsby’s youth.) The notion that autistic people are best qualified to tell autistic stories is still nascent; to write about autistic literature, even as an autistic person, still necessitates the act of filtering through what has come before.

Creative echolalia and language as survival
One of Ten Steps’ most striking qualities is Gadsby’s use of repetition and echo; what might be described, were she to read the book aloud, as scripting or delayed echolalia.
Delayed echolalia constitutes the “reciting” of words and phrases the autistic individual has heard after the fact (typically these “lines” are lifted from favourite TV shows and movies, and so on). Immediate echolalia is something repeated as soon as the autistic individual hears it. (A parent asks “Do you want some juice?” and the autistic child responds “Do you want some juice?”.) Immediate and delayed echolalia are one of a number of repetitive behaviours that form the basis of the clinical model of autism, and are often dismissed as being devoid of meaning or context.
In Gadsby’s skilled hands, however, we see the true creativity, meaning and shifting context of echolalia in all its beauty. Nowhere is this more evident than in the chapter “Step 3: The Formative Years”, which begins with an overview of Tasmanian history subtitled “STOP! CONTEXT TIME!”, a riff on MC Hammer’s U Can’t Touch This. Throughout the chapter, Gadsby continues to riff on the song’s refrain as she braids a clear-eyed account of the movement towards the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the state, and its attendant public expressions of both courageous queer rights activism and virulent homophobia, with her own experience as a then-closeted adolescent.
Step 3 is the book’s devastating tour de force, its events concluding one year after the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Tasmania with the experience Gadsby also described in Nannette: when a local young man bashes her for being “a lady faggot”.
At the outset of the chapter, Gadsby introduces her childhood fascination with jingles and ads, and her habit of “quoting ads out of context […] to make people laugh and avoid answering difficult questions at the same time”. One go-to riposte was lifted from the Colgate Fluorigard ad campaign: “The same way liquid gets into this chalk.” The Fluorigard line and MC Hammer riffs repeat throughout the chapter, each time gaining narrative heft. At this I thought of M. Remi Yergeau’s Authoring Autism (Duke University Press), in which they write (of scripting and echolalia) how “each echo can constitute its own discursive unit […] it can also serve as a placeholder for multiple meanings”.
Each time Gadsby repeats the Fluorigard line, its meaning shifts. The MC Hammer riff, which initially reads as a mood-lightener, soon becomes unrelenting. By the time “STOP! GOOD NEWS TIME!” is deployed, the reader may be surprised to discover that the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Tasmania did not magically expunge the Apple Isle of the violence of homophobia. It’s a remarkable rhetorical sleight of hand, but it does not exist simply to be clever: it shows the reader how Gadsby used (and uses) language and writing to navigate and survive an often cruel world.
No ‘straight line’ through trauma
It may be tempting to frame Ten Steps as another example of, as Gadsby notes in the “Intermission” that follows Step 3, the world’s hunger for “gratuitous details in exchange for empathy”. As Gadsby reminds the reader at a number of instances in Ten Steps, “there is no such thing as a straight line through trauma”, but in the autistic quality of the book’s writing, these echoes and repetitions guide the reader through trauma’s mirror maze, taking us inside Gadsby’s experience of her world.
The book’s keen focus on sensory detail – the slipperiness of someone’s awful satin sheets; the blissful relief of a temperature-controlled gallery when compared to a musty, hot school library; the sweaty smell of little lunch sandwiches encased in plastic; the sound of a horrible hipster cafe – has a similar effect. In inviting the reader into this deeply felt, sensorially-focused world, Gadsby gives them the gift of empathy.
If Ten Steps To Nannette were solely an account of the writing of Gadsby’s show, or a memoir, it would be a compelling work. By combining the two, the book becomes the equal of the show that bears its name. | 0 | 76,999 | 0.261941 | https://www.insights.uca.org.au/hannah-gadsby-navigates-the-mirror-maze-of-trauma-as-an-autistic-gender-queer-comedian/ | 2022-04-08 02:24:17+00:00 | Hannah Gadsby navigates the mirror maze of trauma as an autistic, gender queer comedian
There is a moment in Hannah Gadsby’s Ten Steps To Nanette that spoke so eloquently about an experience I have never quite been able to articulate that I had to put the book down and go make a cup of tea. Recalling her upbraiding by an art teacher following her submission of a fact-filled essay, Gadsby writes:
I felt ashamed that I hadn’t understood what had been expected of me, and even more ashamed by the fact that art on its own apparently didn’t make me ‘feel’ anything. I understood that art made other people feel things, and I thought that if I could understand what it was that made the feeling happen then I would be able to have the feelings too.
Review: Ten Steps to Nanette – Hannah Gadsby (Allen & Unwin)
Like Gadsby, it was not until my adulthood diagnosis of autism that I had the gift of self-knowledge that comes with understanding the way your brain works. Reading Gadsby’s reflection on that essay, I wanted to read it myself: it seemed such a clear example of something autistic author Steacy Easton has described in an essay for Kadar Koli as the way “exchanging facts, exchanging the taxonomic list, becomes an act of solidarity and intimacy” for autistic people.
In writing Ten Steps to Nanette, and offering her obsessions such as art history (which she studied at university, and has presented gallery tours, stand-up and TV shows about), narrative structure and the creative process, Gadsby has shared her taxonomic list.
Comedy success and life as a gender queer autistic person
Readers who come to this memoir to discover how Gadsby created her successful show will not be disappointed; nor will readers interested to hear how she rose through the comedy ranks. She writes about both things with engaging candour, particularly about how Nanette gaining traction during the #metoo era has “been recontextualised as merely my response to [#metoo], and not as something I created under a completely separate set of very personal compulsions”.
Turning narrative expectations on their heads, Gadsby begins the book with “Step One: Epilogue”, which serves as a flash forward – a short glimpse into her post-Nanette life as the toast of Los Angeles industry parties. There may be readers hungry for more Hollywood gossip, but those opening pages are the last we hear of her more recent successes, before Gadsby plunges us back in time and guides us, more or less chronologically, through her life as “a financially insecure autistic Australian gender queer vagina-wielding situation.”
Gadsby’s family are presented with an incredible warmth that never drifts into cheap sentiment. We are delighted by her mother’s outrageous knack for a gag at her own (and often others’) expense – an early stand-up gig where her mum’s heckling eventually provides a nervous Gadsby with her punchline is hysterical – even as we sometimes recoil from the same woman’s complex journey towards accepting Gadsby for who she truly is.

If Ten Steps To Nannette were solely an account of the writing of Gadsby’s show, or a memoir, it would be a compelling work. By combining the two, the book becomes the equal of the show that bears its name. | 1 | 2,408 | 0.550893 | https://www.kgou.org/2022-03-29/comedian-hannah-gadsby-opens-up-about-autism-diagnosis-sexuality-in-memoir-ten-steps-to-nanette | 2022-04-05 11:40:36+00:00 | In 2017, stand-up comedian Hannah Gadsby electrified audiences in her native Australia, the UK, and the United States with her performance piece “Nanette.”
Now, Gadsby has published the memoir “Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation” about everything that led up to her personal, honest performance. Gadsby went through a “grueling experience” as “Nanette” rose in popularity, she says.
“The show kept getting bigger and bigger beyond my intentions of writing it, more and more shows and bigger shows outside of my comfort zone,” she says. “I felt like my life wasn’t mine to control for a while.”
As someone with autism, Gadsby struggles to describe her brand of comedy because she doesn’t understand how people see her so she approaches her craft with brutal honesty.
In the book, Gadsby gets candid about how she received an autism diagnosis later in life — much to her relief. Without a diagnosis, she says she lacked a framework to understand how her brain works.
“When you know that you’re different but you don’t understand why, it’s really confusing and it’s really destabilizing,” she says. “And it often leads to a lifetime of making mistakes that you don’t know how to fix.”
Getting a diagnosis helped Gadsby understand her behavior and better protect herself from stressful situations, she says.
The memoir chronicles the difficulties Gadsby faced in high school, college and her early 20s. She started pursuing stand-up comedy after she entered her first competition and won. Comedy saved her life, she writes.
Participating in “the bureaucracy of life” is difficult for someone like Gadsby, she says. But in comedy, her differences serve as a gift and give her the confidence to pursue her career.
“It’s hard for me to know what I would have done had I not found comedy,” she says. “I don’t have a brain that flourishes under most circumstances that the world has built to be important.”
Interview Highlights
On what prompted Gadsby to write “Ten Steps to Nanette”
“I was writing this book before I wrote ‘Nanette,’ and originally I was going to write a collection of essays about being accident-prone, which is still true. But during the course of trying to write a book and making sense of my life, every time I sent something back to editors, they’d say ‘This part of your life doesn’t make sense.’ So I kept having to go back and as I was digging deeper into my life, my parallel life on stage, I just sort of kept getting pushed to this place where I felt like ‘Nanette’ had to be written. So in a way, the book pushed me to write ‘Nanette’ and then ‘Nanette’ pushed me to finish the book.”
On how the diagnosis of autism and ADHD changed the way she thinks about comedy
“I stopped trying to solve myself for the audience’s benefit. I was always trying to relate my idiosyncratic life and idiosyncratic way of being and tried to mask that and tried to be who people would assume I would be. And it felt like I was pushing through sludge. Once I was diagnosed, I understood better the way that my mind worked, and that elevated my thinking about myself in a way that I could then adapt my communication to things that I wanted to talk about instead of trying to explain my deficiencies.”
On why she pivoted away from self-deprecating humor
“I believe that the way you talk about yourself informs the way you think about yourself. I didn’t make that up. I think that’s well-known wisdom. So it made sense to me that I should shift the way that I talk about myself in my most public forum, which was my job. Or else I would be relegating myself to a life of not thinking very much of myself. I was being literally paid to demean myself.”
On growing up in Tasmania, where homosexuality was criminalized until 1997
“The laws were written, but they only pertained to gay men. Lesbians were pretty much an invisible situation. So it was that sort of, on one hand, understanding that you were existing in a criminal humanity, but also invisible. I lived through a time where they were deliberately trying to harvest ignorance around an identity that was also on the same hand around the world trying to show visible pride, which was what the ‘90s sort of was in gay culture. And we’re seeing something very similar now with trans identity. And the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bills in Florida, which is it’s frightening to think that this is now happening. It very much echoes what was happening to me as a child. And it just forces one to internalize the hatred of themselves to such a deep level that it’s difficult to pick yourself out of it.”
On her experiences with homophobic and sexual violence
“I don’t try to dwell on the specifics of the traumas. In my show I’m very much of the opinion that you learn from the part of the story you focus on. So I try and focus on what happens after, the pain and suffering that happens after and that you need community, you need other people. You need help to get yourself out of trauma. I believe too often the onus is on the individual to heal themselves, and I just honestly don’t think that’s possible. I think you need support networks, you need external scaffolding and you need help to undo trauma.”
On the quote from her book, “There’s nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself,” and how she managed to rebuild
“When you recover from these things and you’re from an unsupported place, that is incredible strength. To get to the point where I could perform ‘Nanette’ meant that I was stronger than most of my peers because of the amount of abuse and stuff that I endured. Any kind of little heckle I could get was just small fries. I just think that the more that you’ve been through, the stronger you are. But I don’t feel like that’s a badge of honor. I think that’s a shame. We shouldn’t have to do that alone.”
On what kind of comedy she’s doing now
“I do whatever comedy I like. When I write a show, I think about what I want the audience to feel. When I wrote ‘Nanette,’ I wanted the audience to feel something akin to a punch in the guts, you know, metaphorical, of course. With this show. I’m trying to make a warmer show. It’s a hug. That’s how I’m phrasing it. I wanted people to feel held and in a safe place and a reprieve. And, you know, because I feel like life is a battle everywhere now for all sorts of different reasons. And I wanted to create a sort of a community hug in the room.”
Book excerpt: ‘Ten Steps to Nanette’
By Hannah Gadsby
Technically, this is my second book. But I wouldn’t bother trying to find a copy of my first effort as it was only published in an edition of one, and I’ve misplaced it. This is no great loss to literature because my first book was a very bad book. Although, I shouldn’t be too hard on myself, the story does have a bit of charm considering I was only seven years old when I penned it. But as a stand-alone piece of writing, it is terrible. Even the title is bad:
How Siffin Soffon became friendly with a Dragon. Part One
I put a spoiler in the title. What a fool. Why would you bother reading a book when you already know that no matter how dramatic the narrative twists and turns might be, Siffin Soffon and the Dragon will eventually end up on pretty good terms.
Clearly, I had an epic series in mind when I added “Part One” to the title, but sadly I never got round to writing the second instalment. Even so, one would assume I’d have left the reader with a cliffhanger so as to whet their appetite for Part Two, but no, Part One ends with Siffin Soffon and his new dragon pal waving a happy goodbye from the pleasant shores of “Holiday Island.” No wonder I never got round to writing the sequel, I couldn’t even think of a name for an island beyond the singular purpose I’d invented the island for. I was clearly all out of ideas.
I suppose you might want to read the book just to find out who this Siffin Soffon character is, but here, again, you’ll find my writing falls short because, apparently, I didn’t think it was necessary to offer a description of the central character of my novella. My accompany- ing drawings could have been enlightening, but again, ambiguity reigns; Siffin Soffon begins his epic journey as a carefully executed, albeit childishly rendered, little red goat, but by the time he becomes friendly with the Dragon he is just a lazy tangle of orange squiggles because I’d grown bored of drawing and had also, presumably, lost the red pencil. Fortunately, I do have some insider knowledge on this matter, and I can report that Siffin Soffon was neither a red goat nor an orange squiggle, he was the imaginary friend of my older brother, Hamish, and according to him, Siffin Soffon was a tiny foot-baller who lived in the toilet with his best friend Kinnowin.
When the one copy of my very bad book found its way back to me recently, I was inundated with a cluster of memories that I didn’t even know I had. I’m not talking about repressed memories, they didn’t return with a shocking jolt, they just quietly worked their way to the front of my thought queue as if they’d never left.
The cover, two pieces of red cardboard bound by masking tape, had faded and softened over time, but my poorly planned title still looked as if it had only been poorly executed just yesterday. As I held it in my hands, I recalled how angry seven-year-old me had become the moment I realised that I didn’t have enough space for the last six words of the title, and I felt the heat of my self-admonishment rise as sharp as if thirty-five years had not passed. Flipping through to the back page, I saw the note of praise written by the vice principal next to a reward sticker of the Pink Panther curving himself around a giant pen with the words “Well Done!” spilling from its point. I remembered how lovingly I’d traced around the sticker with my finger, almost bursting with pride. I also recalled that I had felt a little bit annoyed that it was only the vice principal, and how I’d wondered what the hell I had to do to get the principal’s attention. I could also remember how my teacher had insisted she write my story out for me because I was too young to have my pen licence and how she had then insisted that I read my story to the whole class, and how every- one in my whole class had HATED both me and my book. I don’t blame them. It was, after all, a very bad book.
The return of my literary debut stirred up memories that went well beyond the object itself, and included the emotional roller coaster that had precipitated my urge to put pen to paper. It had all begun with my obsession with Hamish’s imaginary friends and the mounting distress I felt because they didn’t want to be my friends too. I hadn’t known what “imaginary” meant and had just assumed that Hamish had cool friends who refused to talk to me, which made for many toilet-time tears. I also remembered how, after it was explained to me that Hamish’s friends lived inside his head, I had asked if I was allowed to imagine Siffin Soffon too, and when Hamish said no, I’d burst into tears again and this prompted Hamish to offer me the thoroughly unacceptable compromise of the imagined friendship of Kinnowin. I did not accept, because I only really wanted Sif- fin Soffon, who I’d imagined was a little red goat and had managed to convince myself that I could sometimes hear him clip-clopping on the plumbing. I did not care for Kinnowin, I hardly knew her, I didn’t even know what she looked like.
I also remembered how, at one point, I’d attempted to conjure my own imaginary friends and began galloping about on my horse, Sergeant, while chatting to my good friend Mr. Dog, who was a dog I’d obviously named in the tradition of Holiday Island. It was not a winning moment, as I could only recall how profoundly foolish I had felt because I knew my friends were not real, and, to make matters worse, I had imagined them to be incredibly large chaps, which meant I still didn’t have any friends to talk to in the toilet. I don’t know what to call my next move, as I don’t think it is possible to kill beings that do not exist, so let’s just say that I ghosted Sergeant and Mr. Dog, violently. It felt humane at the time, but really, I just wanted them out of the way so I could try my luck with Siffin Soffon again. After my needless imaginary horse-and-dog ritual sacrifice, Hamish told me I was too late. His friends were gone. When I pressed him for their whereabouts, he very sombrely reported that they were in Heaven helping God. Throughout my childhood and well into adulthood I worshipped Hamish and it often felt, painfully so, that he deliberately abused the power that he had over me. But when I remember episodes like this, I know that simply couldn’t be true of a small boy who not only assumed that God would need the help of tiny football players but who also felt such levels of loneliness that he had to invent friends he could talk to, and poo on. He clearly had issues of his own.

https://theconversation.com/hannah-gadsby-navigates-the-mirror-maze-of-trauma-as-an-autistic-gender-queer-comedian-176010 | There is a moment in Hannah Gadsby’s Ten Steps To Nanette that spoke so eloquently about an experience I have never quite been able to articulate that I had to put the book down and go make a cup of tea. Recalling her upbraiding by an art teacher following her submission of a fact-filled essay, Gadsby writes:
I felt ashamed that I hadn’t understood what had been expected of me, and even more ashamed by the fact that art on its own apparently didn’t make me ‘feel’ anything. I understood that art made other people feel things, and I thought that if I could understand what it was that made the feeling happen then I would be able to have the feelings too.
Review: Ten Steps to Nanette – Hannah Gadsby (Allen & Unwin)
Like Gadsby, it was not until my adulthood diagnosis of autism that I had the gift of self-knowledge that comes with understanding the way your brain works. Reading Gadsby’s reflection on that essay, I wanted to read it myself: it seemed such a clear example of something autistic author Steacy Easton has described in an essay for Kadar Koli as the way “exchanging facts, exchanging the taxonomic list, becomes an act of solidarity and intimacy” for autistic people. In writing Ten Steps to Nanette, and offering her obsessions such as art history (which she studied at university, and has presented gallery tours, stand-up and TV shows about), narrative structure and the creative process, Gadsby has shared her taxonomic list.

Comedy success and life as a gender queer autistic person
Readers who come to this memoir to discover how Gadsby created her successful show will not be disappointed; nor will readers interested to hear how she rose through the comedy ranks. She writes about both things with engaging candour, particularly about how Nanette gaining traction during the #metoo era has “been recontextualised as merely my response to [#metoo], and not as something I created under a completely separate set of very personal compulsions”.
Turning narrative expectations on their heads, Gadsby begins the book with “Step One: Epilogue”, which serves as a flash forward – a short glimpse into her post-Nanette life as the toast of Los Angeles industry parties. There may be readers hungry for more Hollywood gossip, but those opening pages are the last we hear of her more recent successes, before Gadsby plunges us back in time and guides us, more or less chronologically, through her life as “a financially insecure autistic Australian gender queer vagina-wielding situation”.
Gadsby’s family are presented with an incredible warmth that never drifts into cheap sentiment. We are delighted by her mother’s outrageous knack for a gag at her own (and often others’) expense – an early stand-up gig where her mum’s heckling eventually provides a nervous Gadsby with her punchline is hysterical – even as we sometimes recoil from the same woman’s complex journey towards accepting Gadsby for who she truly is.
Gadsby’s eye for character detail is sublime. In one moment, where her teenage self rides a tortuous route home to avoid being teased for her polystyrene helmet by local cool kids, she arrives home hours late, anticipating her mother’s wrath: “I found her out by the washing line being angry at the pegs.”
Similarly, Gadsby offers a complex and nuanced account of life in small-town Tasmania in the 1980s and 90s, with heartfelt portraits of people who mattered to her (and even some who didn’t) alongside the simple fact of it being an environment where class divides were deep and racism and homophobia were rampant. This is not a memoir of the good old days – rather, a stark reminder of what those days did to good people.
She reflects, with an adult’s wisdom, on her early childhood memories of the woman her mother paid to help look after little Hannah. In a short paragraph, Gadsby gives a heartbreaking glimpse into the agony experienced by this “kind and gentle” woman, a survivor of appalling abuse, in her short life. The dignity Gadsby affords people who have slipped through society’s cracks is profound.
If Gadsby is kind to the people who mattered in her life, she also treats her younger selves with dignity and care; she often hypothesises what she might do now, if she were able to travel through time and sit with herself in moments of pain. Through the book, Gadsby also offers retrospective asides that provide the context she was only able to understand with the hard-won self-knowledge of diagnosis: that, for example, young girls on the autism spectrum are uniquely at risk from sexual predators, or that ADHD and autism can affect a person’s executive function (the mental skills used to manage daily life).
Autism ‘core’ to identity, but not defining
This is not a book “about” Gadsby’s late diagnosis of ADHD and autism spectrum disorder, and as she is quick to note in “Step Six: Whirl, Interrupted”: “my neurobiology is at the very core of my thinking and, as such, it sits at the heart of who I am – but it does not define me”. She carefully discusses the barriers to diagnosis that are faced by older women and gender diverse people, whose experience may not fit the male-skewed diagnostic criteria, and the fact that diagnosis is expensive and difficult to obtain. She is also aware that discussing one’s diagnoses invites “the howling opinionated rage of others”. But there is a specificity to Gadsby’s prose that, like Emma A. Jane’s recently published and equally bracing memoir Diagnosis Normal (Penguin), makes Ten Steps a thrillingly and distinctly autistic read.
Gadsby writes that she does not “have the luxury to skip over” the myriad myths surrounding ADHD and autism. I am about to introduce one here, to pinpoint a quality of Gadsby’s work that I suspect will be dismissed rather than celebrated. (I don’t need to suspect, in fact; one US review bemoans Ten Steps’ “exhaustive and, at times, a tad exhausting” recollection of Gadsby’s youth.) The notion that autistic people are best qualified to tell autistic stories is still nascent; to write about autistic literature, even as an autistic person, still necessitates the act of filtering through what has come before.

Creative echolalia and language as survival
One of Ten Steps’ most striking qualities is Gadsby’s use of repetition and echo; what might be described, were she to read the book aloud, as scripting or delayed echolalia.
Delayed echolalia constitutes the “reciting” of words and phrases the autistic individual has heard after the fact (typically these “lines” are lifted from favourite TV shows and movies, and so on). Immediate echolalia is something repeated as soon as the autistic individual hears it. (A parent asks “Do you want some juice?” and the autistic child responds “Do you want some juice?”.) Immediate and delayed echolalia are one of a number of repetitive behaviours that form the basis of the clinical model of autism, and are often dismissed as being devoid of meaning or context.
In Gadsby’s skilled hands, however, we see the true creativity, meaning and shifting context of echolalia in all its beauty. Nowhere is this more evident than in the chapter “Step 3: The Formative Years”, which begins with an overview of Tasmanian history subtitled “STOP! CONTEXT TIME!”, a riff on MC Hammer’s U Can’t Touch This. Throughout the chapter, Gadsby continues to riff on the song’s refrain as she braids a clear-eyed account of the movement towards the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the state, and its attendant public expressions of both courageous queer rights activism and virulent homophobia, with her own experience as a then-closeted adolescent.
Step 3 is the book’s devastating tour de force, its events concluding one year after the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Tasmania with the experience Gadsby also described in Nannette: when a local young man bashes her for being “a lady faggot”.
At the outset of the chapter, Gadsby introduces her childhood fascination with jingles and ads, and her habit of “quoting ads out of context […] to make people laugh and avoid answering difficult questions at the same time”. One go-to riposte was lifted from the Colgate Fluorigard ad campaign: “The same way liquid gets into this chalk.” The Fluorigard line and MC Hammer riffs repeat throughout the chapter, each time gaining narrative heft. At this I thought of M. Remi Yergeau’s Authoring Autism (Duke University Press), in which they write (of scripting and echolalia) how “each echo can constitute its own discursive unit […] it can also serve as a placeholder for multiple meanings”.
Each time Gadsby repeats the Fluorigard line, its meaning shifts. The MC Hammer riff, which initially reads as a mood-lightener, soon becomes unrelenting. By the time “STOP! GOOD NEWS TIME!” is deployed, the reader may be surprised to discover that the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Tasmania did not magically expunge the Apple Isle of the violence of homophobia. It’s a remarkable rhetorical sleight of hand, but it does not exist simply to be clever: it shows the reader how Gadsby used (and uses) language and writing to navigate and survive an often cruel world.
No ‘straight line’ through trauma
It may be tempting to frame Ten Steps as another example of, as Gadsby notes in the “Intermission” that follows Step 3, the world’s hunger for “gratuitous details in exchange for empathy”. As Gadsby reminds the reader at a number of instances in Ten Steps, “there is no such thing as a straight line through trauma”, but in the autistic quality of the book’s writing, these echoes and repetitions guide the reader through trauma’s mirror maze, taking us inside Gadsby’s experience of her world.
The book’s keen focus on sensory detail – the slipperiness of someone’s awful satin sheets; the blissful relief of a temperature-controlled gallery when compared to a musty, hot school library; the sweaty smell of little lunch sandwiches encased in plastic; the sound of a horrible hipster cafe – has a similar effect. In inviting the reader into this deeply felt, sensorially-focused world, Gadsby gives them the gift of empathy.
If Ten Steps To Nannette were solely an account of the writing of Gadsby’s show, or a memoir, it would be a compelling work. By combining the two, the book becomes the equal of the show that bears its name. | 2 | 127,124 | 0.550893 | https://www.kdll.org/2022-03-29/comedian-hannah-gadsby-opens-up-about-autism-diagnosis-sexuality-in-memoir-ten-steps-to-nanette | 2022-04-17 12:59:23+00:00 | In 2017, stand-up comedian Hannah Gadsby electrified audiences in her native Australia, the UK, and the United States with her performance piece “Nanette.”
Now, Gadsby has published the memoir “Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation” about everything that led up to her personal, honest performance. Gadsby went through a “grueling experience” as “Nanette” rose in popularity, she says.
“The show kept getting bigger and bigger beyond my intentions of writing it, more and more shows and bigger shows outside of my comfort zone,” she says. “I felt like my life wasn’t mine to control for a while.”
As someone with autism, Gadsby struggles to describe her brand of comedy because she doesn’t understand how people see her so she approaches her craft with brutal honesty.
In the book, Gadsby gets candid about how she received an autism diagnosis later in life — much to her relief. Without a diagnosis, she says she lacked a framework to understand how her brain works.
“When you know that you’re different but you don’t understand why, it’s really confusing and it’s really destabilizing,” she says. “And it often leads to a lifetime of making mistakes that you don’t know how to fix.”
Getting a diagnosis helped Gadsby understand her behavior and better protect herself from stressful situations, she says.
The memoir chronicles the difficulties Gadsby faced in high school, college and her early 20s. She started pursuing stand-up comedy after she entered her first competition and won. Comedy saved her life, she writes.
Participating in “the bureaucracy of life” is difficult for someone like Gadsby, she says. But in comedy, her differences serve as a gift and give her the confidence to pursue her career.
“It’s hard for me to know what I would have done had I not found comedy,” she says. “I don’t have a brain that flourishes under most circumstances that the world has built to be important.”
Interview Highlights
On what prompted Gadsby to write “Ten Steps to Nanette”
“I was writing this book before I wrote ‘Nanette,’ and originally I was going to write a collection of essays about being accident-prone, which is still true. But during the course of trying to write a book and making sense of my life, every time I sent something back to editors, they’d say ‘This part of your life doesn’t make sense.’ So I kept having to go back and as I was digging deeper into my life, my parallel life on stage, I just sort of kept getting pushed to this place where I felt like ‘Nanette’ had to be written. So in a way, the book pushed me to write ‘Nanette’ and then ‘Nanette’ pushed me to finish the book.”
On how the diagnosis of autism and ADHD changed the way she thinks about comedy
“I stopped trying to solve myself for the audience’s benefit. I was always trying to relate my idiosyncratic life and idiosyncratic way of being and tried to mask that and tried to be who people would assume I would be. And it felt like I was pushing through sludge. Once I was diagnosed, I understood better the way that my mind worked, and that elevated my thinking about myself in a way that I could then adapt my communication to things that I wanted to talk about instead of trying to explain my deficiencies.”
On why she pivoted away from self-deprecating humor
“I believe that the way you talk about yourself informs the way you think about yourself. I didn’t make that up. I think that’s well-known wisdom. So it made sense to me that I should shift the way that I talk about myself in my most public forum, which was my job. Or else I would be relegating myself to a life of not thinking very much of myself. I was being literally paid to demean myself.”
On growing up in Tasmania, where homosexuality was criminalized until 1997
“The laws were written, but they only pertained to gay men. Lesbians were pretty much an invisible situation. So it was that sort of, on one hand, understanding that you were existing in a criminal humanity, but also invisible. I lived through a time where they were deliberately trying to harvest ignorance around an identity that was also on the same hand around the world trying to show visible pride, which was what the ‘90s sort of was in gay culture. And we’re seeing something very similar now with trans identity. And the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bills in Florida, which is it’s frightening to think that this is now happening. It very much echoes what was happening to me as a child. And it just forces one to internalize the hatred of themselves to such a deep level that it’s difficult to pick yourself out of it.”
On her experiences with homophobic and sexual violence
“I don’t try to dwell on the specifics of the traumas. In my show I’m very much of the opinion that you learn from the part of the story you focus on. So I try and focus on what happens after, the pain and suffering that happens after and that you need community, you need other people. You need help to get yourself out of trauma. I believe too often the onus is on the individual to heal themselves, and I just honestly don’t think that’s possible. I think you need support networks, you need external scaffolding and you need help to undo trauma.”
On the quote from her book, “There’s nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself,” and how she managed to rebuild
“When you recover from these things and you’re from an unsupported place, that is incredible strength. To get to the point where I could perform ‘Nanette’ meant that I was stronger than most of my peers because of the amount of abuse and stuff that I endured. Any kind of little heckle I could get was just small fries. I just think that the more that you’ve been through, the stronger you are. But I don’t feel like that’s a badge of honor. I think that’s a shame. We shouldn’t have to do that alone.”
On what kind of comedy she’s doing now
“I do whatever comedy I like. When I write a show, I think about what I want the audience to feel. When I wrote ‘Nanette,’ I wanted the audience to feel something akin to a punch in the guts, you know, metaphorical, of course. With this show. I’m trying to make a warmer show. It’s a hug. That’s how I’m phrasing it. I wanted people to feel held and in a safe place and a reprieve. And, you know, because I feel like life is a battle everywhere now for all sorts of different reasons. And I wanted to create a sort of a community hug in the room.”

https://nj1015.com/meet-the-voxies-nj-original-band-opening-for-bon-jovi-in-charlotte/ | Meet The Voxies! NJ original band opening for Bon Jovi in Charlotte
The Voxies never would have imagined when they were all out-of-work musicians during the heart of the COVID pandemic that just a year later they would be in a band so incredible that after just a couple of performances at places like The Bitter End and the Cutting Room they would be asked to open for Bon Jovi in Charlotte on April 8.
That's exactly what happened, according to trumpet player Ken Nigri, who hails from Howell.
"We started in early 2021 when everything was closed and all musicians were out of work. We got together and began creating."
What they created was an original rock-reggae sound
"The Voxies Band has cultivated their own unique and original sound by creating forward-thinking funky rock 'n' roll that is set to stand the test of time. This may be unique to your senses as this group serves up a blend not heard in the world of original music. While keeping true to our cultivated sound you will get reggae, old school rock, and some funky stuff, while sitting within a contemporary vibe. Very little can top world-class vocals and a horn section to complete the sound."
Nigri on how it all began
"Long-time industry friends came together in need on the back end of COVID-19 while out of work. With the burning passion to perform and very few outlets available- we decided to collaborate, write, and create our own music as recently as February March 2021. This became the defining moment and The Voxies Band was born."
How did they get to open for Bon Jovi at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte on April 8?
"We were very fortunate to be selected. Bon Jovi and his camp liked our song (video). He's awesome and believes selects local original bands and giving them a shot."
When you hear the Voxies you'll know they are a shot worth taking and could be the start of something big. Next comes a tour starting in the northeast. You can also be one of the first to listen to their upcoming non-released song here.

Ken Negri — Trumpet
Audrey Martells — Lead vocalist

The Voxies never would have imagined when they were all out-of-work musicians during the heart of the COVID pandemic that just a year later they would be in a band so incredible that after just a couple of performances at places like The Bitter End and the Cutting Room they would be asked to open for Bon Jovi in Charlotte on April 8.

The Austin-based blog-rockers Voxtrot broke up in 2010, but they’re roaring back to life this year. In addition to prepping two archival releases, the band will head out on tour this fall.
A statement from the band’s singer Ramesh Srivastava:
About a year ago, I had a dream where we were onstage and it was really positive. And there was such a strong and palpable feeling of love in my heart that when I woke up, it was still with me. I switched on my phone and started looking at things tagged with Voxtrot on social media — like teenagers now covering our songs, people with Voxtrot tattoos — and just went down this internet rabbit hole that made me realize how much love there still is for the band. I was seeing it from this really wonderful viewpoint, and that morning — for the first time since the band broke up — it seemed very, very obvious that we should do this.
“This” includes two album-length releases. Early Music combines the band’s EPs Raised By Wolves (2005) and Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives (2006); it’s out today digitally and will see physical release in September. The self-explanatory Cut From The Stone: Rarities & B-Sides collects other obscure Voxtrot oldies and will be online in July, also with physical release in September. There’s also a new video for their Smiths-y single “The Start Of Something” that, appropriately enough, includes footage from Voxtrot’s first US tour in 2005, shot by Miguel Hinojosa and edited by Royal Pine Productions.
Check out the video, Early Music, and the tour dates below.

https://www.wjhl.com/news/politics/proud-boys-leader-pleads-not-guilty-to-jan-6-charges/ | WASHINGTON (AP) — Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges that he remotely led a plot to stop Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.
Though he wasn’t at the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, prosecutors say Tarrio organized encrypted chats with Proud Boys members in the weeks before the attack, had a 42-second phone call with another member of the group in the building during the insurrection and took credit for the chaos at the Capitol.
Police had arrested Tarrio in Washington two days before the riot and charged him with vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church during a protest in December 2020. The day before the Capitol was attacked, a judge ordered Tarrio to stay out of Washington.
Tarrio’s indictment said that instead of staying out of town, he met with Oath Keepers founder and leader Elmer “Stewart” Rhodes and others in an underground parking garage for about 30 minutes on Jan. 5.
His lawyers have said the evidence against Tarrio was weak and relies mostly on text messages and social media.
A judge has postponed the May 18 trial for Tarrio and five others affiliated with the far-right group.
Prosecutors sought the postponement to give them more time to assess and share with opposing lawyers new information gathered in the investigation. Some defendants in the case agreed with the postponement request.

- Published
Former Scottish health secretary Jeane Freeman has told a jury she "trusted" ex-SNP MP Natalie McGarry to run an independence organisation's finances.
Natalie McGarry, 40, who represented Glasgow East, denies allegedly embezzling more than £25,000 from two Scottish independence organisations.
The allegations cover the period between April 2013 and August 2015.
Ms Freeman, 68, said Ms McGarry was put in control of the finances of Women For Independence (WFI) in Spring 2013.
The charge claims Ms McGarry embezzled £21,000 between 26 April 2013 to 30 November 2015 while she was treasurer of WFI.
The period covered the build-up to and aftermath of the Scottish independence referendum in September 2014.
It is alleged Ms McGarry transferred cash made from fundraising events into her own personal accounts and failed to send on donations intended for Perth and Kinross food bank and the charity Positive Prisons Positive Futures.
She then allegedly used cheques - held in the name of Women for Independence - to deposit money into her accounts.
The second charge is that Ms McGarry embezzled £4,661 between 9 April 2014 and 10 August 2015.
It is alleged that while Ms McGarry was treasurer, secretary and convenor of Glasgow Regional Association of the SNP, she used cheques drawn from its bank account to pay expenses not incurred by the group.
Ms McGarry is claimed to have retained monies intended to settle expenses incurred by others but instead kept the money.
The charge goes on to allege that Ms McGarry used cheques and money from donations to the Glasgow Regional Association to deposit money to her own accounts.
Ms McGarry, of Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, denies the two charges.
Ms Freeman gave evidence that she founded WFI in 2012 with four others in order to give women a voice in the independence debate.
The ex-SNP MSP for Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley said that Ms McGarry became involved as the group expanded and that her initial role was to organise dinners for members.
Ms Freeman said Ms McGarry took over financial matters in 2013 as the organisation became "more organised" but there was "no formal structure."
She added: "Natalie told of financial matters and gave reports as to how much money we had, how much was coming through and how much was raised."
She said that members agreed that 50% of funds raised by the group would go to local organisations.
Ms Freeman admitted to having "limited" knowledge as to how crowdfunding worked.
It was agreed that £20,823 was raised by WFI during a fundraiser between March and April 2014 which left WFI with £10,772 after deductions such as fees and refunds.
Prosecutor Alistair Mitchell asked Ms Freeman where she thought the money would be transferred to.
She replied: "The WFI bank account."
Ms Freeman stated that she did not check the WFI bank account.
'Founded on trust'
Mr Mitchell asked why she did not find it necessary to do that.
She said: "It's a good and important question, the point of WFI is we were founded on trust.
"We trusted each other and that goes across the organisation that we would do the job we volunteered to do.
"If someone was struggling, you would say so and someone from the organisation would work hard to be non-judgmental and support each other."
Earlier a juror was struck off after they reported ill before evidence began.
Separately, Sheriff Tom Hughes said members of the public had to be aware of the risks of posting comments about the case on social media.
He said: "It could have a catastrophic effect on the trial process and could be prejudicial."

She added: "Natalie told of financial matters and gave reports as to how much money we had, how much was coming through and how much was raised."
She said that members agreed that 50% of funds raised by the group would go to local organisations.
Ms Freeman admitted to having "limited" knowledge as to how crowdfunding worked.
It was agreed that £20,823 was raised by WFI during a fundraiser between March and April 2014 which left WFI with £10,772 after deductions such as fees and refunds.
Prosecutor Alistair Mitchell asked Ms Freeman where she thought the money would be transferred to.
She replied: "The WFI bank account."
Ms Freeman stated that she did not check the WFI bank account.
'Founded on trust'
Mr Mitchell asked why she did not find it necessary to do that.
She said: "It's a good and important question, the point of WFI is we were founded on trust.
"We trusted each other and that goes across the organisation that we would do the job we volunteered to do.
"If someone was struggling, you would say so and someone from the organisation would work hard to be non-judgmental and support each other."
Earlier a juror was struck off after they reported ill before evidence began.
Separately, Sheriff Tom Hughes said members of the public had to be aware of the risks of posting comments about the case on social media.
He said: "It could have a catastrophic effect on the trial process and could be prejudicial."

FORMER health secretary Jeane Freeman told a jury today that she "trusted" ex-SNP MP Natalie McGarry to run their organisation's financial affairs.
Natalie McGarry, 40, who represented Glasgow East, is accused of embezzling more than 25,000 from two Scottish independence organisations between April 2013 and August 2015.
Miss Freeman, 68, stated in evidence at Glasgow Sheriff Court that McGarry was put under control of Women For Independence finances in 2013 on the run up the 2014 referendum.
The charge claims McGarry embezzled £21,000 while Treasurer for Women for Independence (WFI) between April 26, 2013 and November 30, 2015.
It is alleged she transferred cash made from fundraising events into her own personal accounts and failed to send the donations intended for Perth and Kinross food bank and the charity Positive Prisons Positive Futures.
She then allegedly used cheques - held in the name of Women for Independence - to deposit money into her accounts.
The second charge states McGarry embezzled £4,661 between April 9, 2014 and August 10, 2015.
It is alleged that while McGarry was Treasurer, Secretary and Convenor of Glasgow Regional Association of the SNP, she used cheques drawn from their bank account to pay expenses not incurred by the group.
McGarry is claimed to have retained reimbursements intended to settle expenses which she was not entitled to.
The charge goes on to say McGarry used cheques and money from donations to the organisation to deposit money to her own accounts.

- Published
Former Scottish health secretary Jeane Freeman has told a jury she "trusted" ex-SNP MP Natalie McGarry to run an independence organisation's finances.
Natalie McGarry, 40, who represented Glasgow East, denies allegedly embezzling more than £25,000 from two Scottish independence organisations.
The allegations cover the period between April 2013 and August 2015.
Ms Freeman, 68, said Ms McGarry was put in control of the finances of Women For Independence (WFI) in Spring 2013.
The charge claims Ms McGarry embezzled £21,000 between 26 April 2013 to 30 November 2015 while she was treasurer of WFI.
The period covered the build-up to and aftermath of the Scottish independence referendum in September 2014.
It is alleged Ms McGarry transferred cash made from fundraising events into her own personal accounts and failed to send on donations intended for Perth and Kinross food bank and the charity Positive Prisons Positive Futures.
She then allegedly used cheques - held in the name of Women for Independence - to deposit money into her accounts.
The second charge is that Ms McGarry embezzled £4,661 between 9 April 2014 and 10 August 2015.
It is alleged that while Ms McGarry was treasurer, secretary and convenor of Glasgow Regional Association of the SNP, she used cheques drawn from its bank account to pay expenses not incurred by the group.
Ms McGarry is claimed to have retained monies intended to settle expenses incurred by others but instead kept the money.
The charge goes on to allege that Ms McGarry used cheques and money from donations to the Glasgow Regional Association to deposit money to her own accounts.
Ms McGarry, of Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, denies the two charges.
Ms Freeman gave evidence that she founded WFI in 2012 with four others in order to give women a voice in the independence debate.
The ex-SNP MSP for Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley said that Ms McGarry became involved as the group expanded and that her initial role was to organise dinners for members.

An ex-MP accused of embezzling thousands from an independence campaign group could have asked for help if she was struggling with managing finances, Scotland’s former health secretary has told a court.
Natalie McGarry, 40, who represented the Glasgow East constituency at Westminster between 2015 and 2017, is accused of embezzling more than £25,000 from two Scottish independence campaign groups, including Women For Independence (WFI).
Jeanne Freeman, who helped set up WFI, told Glasgow Sheriff Court on Thursday that McGarry “from time to time appeared to be quite disorganised”.
McGarry is on trial accused of misappropriating £21,000 from the campaign group between April 26, 2013 and November 30, 2015 while she was its treasurer.
It is alleged she transferred cash made from fundraising events into her own personal accounts, and failed to send on donations intended for Perth and Kinross food bank and the charity Positive Prisons Positive Futures.
A second charge she faces is that she allegedly embezzled £4,661 from the Glasgow Regional Association of the SNP between April 9, 2014 and August 10, 2015.
McGarry denies both charges.
Ms Freeman, a former SNP MSP for Cumnock, Carrick and Doon Valley, told the court McGarry was “unwilling” to accept offers of help as the independence group grew in popularity and the responsibilities increased exponentially.
She said: “Natalie McGarry and I lived not too far apart and I travelled a great deal for campaigns and business opportunities and I could have assisted.”
She also said McGarry should only have used her personal bank account as a temporary hold before transferring the funds directly to the WFI account.
A WFI bank account was set up which required the signatures of two separate campaign members before she could deposit cheques.
In the meantime, “dozens” of expenses were coming in each day, according to McGarry’s lawyer Allan Mcleod.
Due to the fast nature of the campaign, if WFI members such as McGarry paid for materials out of their own pocket, she should have claimed it back on expenses, the court heard.
The trial, before Sheriff Tom Hughes, continues.

The roll call Tuesday was identical to the tally on another procedural vote Monday. Republicans Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah voted with all 50 Senate Democrats to advance the confirmation.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, has pledged to hold the confirmation vote before senators’ two-week recess begins Friday.
Republicans on the Senate floor continued to raise objections to the nomination, as they did during hours of Senate Judiciary Committee hearings last week.
Schumer’s Republican counterpart, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said on the floor that Democrats unfairly attacked justices nominated by Republican presidents during the last four decades.
Senate Democrats “thrust the Senate into a more aggressive posture toward nominations,” McConnell said, and had “no standing” to complain about Jackson’s treatment.
McConnell said his complaints about Democrats’ past behavior was not the reason he opposed Jackson. He said he would give more details about his opposition Wednesday.
As debate on the nomination began this week, Judiciary Committee members brought the arguments they’d used for weeks on the panel to the Senate floor.
U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, continued Tuesday to highlight Jackson’s sentencing record in child pornography cases.
Hawley asked for unanimous consent to pass a bill that would set mandatory sentences for child pornography possession and force judges to stick to sentencing guidelines. Republican Sens. Rick Scott of Florida, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Mike Lee of Utah co-sponsored the bill and U.S. Rep Ken Buck of Colorado introduced a companion House bill.
Hawley spent virtually all his time during Jackson’s confirmation hearings accusing her of being too lenient in sentencing for child pornography convicts, noting she always sentenced them below federal guidelines.
“The nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court has helped bring this issue front and center,” Hawley said Tuesday. “Her record of leniency to child sex offenders has been much the center of her hearings and it has startled the public.”
Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., objected to the Hawley bill, all but accusing the Missouri freshman of trying to score political points instead of seriously working to address the issue.
Durbin was in favor of revisiting sentencing for child pornography, he said, but Hawley only introduced the bill seven days ago and was now asking the Senate to pass it without a hearing, committee markup or any serious consideration.
“I’m not going to do this in a slipshod, make-a-headline manner,” Durbin said. “We’re going to do it in a manner that is serious … and get it right.”
Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton also renewed a soft-on-crime criticism of Jackson on the Senate floor Tuesday.
“She is a dangerous judge,” Cotton said.
Durbin countered Republicans’ criticisms by noting leading police groups, including the Fraternal Order of Police and the International Association of Chiefs of Police, had endorsed Jackson.
On child pornography cases, her practices are in line with 70 to 80% of other federal judges, Durbin said. | 0 | 11,115 | 0.053096 | https://pulse.ncpolicywatch.org/2022/04/06/u-s-senate-heads-toward-final-vote-this-week-on-ketanji-brown-jackson-confirmation/ | 2022-04-06 11:29:48+00:00 | The U.S. Senate approved a procedural measure Tuesday to advance Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court, setting up a final vote on confirmation as early as Thursday.

On child pornography cases, her practices are in line with 70 to 80% of other federal judges, Durbin said. | 2 | 140,174 | 0.432867 | https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/senate-judiciary-committee-ketanji-brown-jackson-vote-1332822/ | 2022-04-04 21:46:48+00:00 | The Senate Judiciary Committee was split on whether to approve the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. The vote on Monday went as expected, with the committee’s Democrats voting in favor of holding a Senate-wide confirmation vote, and the Republicans opposing her nomination’s advancement.
The vote was split, but Democrats control the Senate, allowing Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to discharge Jackson’s nomination to floor of the chamber. He did so shortly after the committee vote, and the full floor is expected to vote Monday evening on whether to vote to confirm Jackson. It’s a lot of voting, to say the least, but the bottom line is that barring anything unexpected, the Senate will vote later this week on whether to make Jackson the first Black woman to sit on the nation’s highest court.
Republican opposition to Jackson’s confirmation has centered largely around a conspiracy theory that the judge is sympathetic to pedophiles. The idea was popularized by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), who has been pushing a bad-faith argument that Jackson straying from guidelines in sentencing child pornographers means she is pro-pedophile, a claim that even the the conservative National Review has called out as bullshit, writing that the allegation that Jackson is soft on child porn is “meritless to the point of demagoguery.”
The committee vote on Monday was preceded by arguments, and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) called out Hawley for voting to confirm several judges who also strayed from sentencing guidelines in similar cases. “The senator just said, ‘I believe the guidelines are right,'” Booker said of Hawley. “Obviously, Republican-appointed judges don’t agree with him, because the norm in many states is 70-80 percent of judges going before the guideline. If that statement is correct, then why didn’t you vote against every one of those Republican judges that was not following the guidelines, as most don’t?”
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) slams Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) for hypocritically saying he supports child abuse sentencing guidelines while attacking Judge Jackson:
“Why didn’t you vote against every one of those Republican judges that was not following the guidelines, as most don’t?” pic.twitter.com/XI1BHnEDpQ
— The Recount (@therecount) April 4, 2022
“You can try to create a straw man here, but it does not hold,” Booker added.
Hawley and other Republicans may opposed Jackson’s confirmation, but she’s still expected to be confirmed. Republican Sen. Susan Collins has already said she’ll vote to confirm Jackson. She may be joined by fellow moderates like Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), although neither has indicated how they’ll vote.
Moderate Democrat Joe Manchin has expressed his support for Jackson, which means as long as the other 49 Democrats are on board, Collins’ vote is all the party will need to seat President Biden’s nominee without forcing Vice President Kamala Harris to break a tie. |

Families of patients who died during Covid outbreak press for answers
HONG KONG—Families of patients who died recently at Shanghai’s biggest elderly-care facility are demanding to know whether a Covid-19 outbreak that hit in the past few weeks led to their deaths, with some refusing a request by the hospital to cremate the bodies.
At least 20 patients died in recent weeks at the Donghai Elderly Care Hospital, according to members of several families, who said they are still trying to understand why. The facility asked for the families’ agreement in the past few days to cremate the bodies that were being kept in the hospital morgue, the relatives said.

By HUIZHONG WU and DAKE KANG
Associated Press
BEIJING (AP) — A series of deaths at a hospital for elderly patients in Shanghai is underscoring the dangerous consequences of China’s stubborn pursuit of a zero-COVID approach amid an escalating outbreak in the city of 26 million people. Relatives say multiple patients have died at the Shanghai Donghai Elderly Care hospital. They say their loved ones weren’t properly cared for after caretakers infected with the virus were taken away to be quarantined, in adherence to the strict pandemic regulations, depleting the hospital of staff. Family members have taken to social media to plea for help and answers and are demanding to see surveillance video after getting little to no information about their loved ones from the hospital. |

These devices are commonly used to feed the specialized diet in elderly or bedridden patients suffering from chronic ailments such as neurological disorders, cancer, gastro intestinal and inherited metabolic diseases. In patients with functional GI tract, enteral feeding is the preferred route of nutrition delivery as compared to parenteral feeding. This is because, enteral feeding avoids complications such as infection, sepsis, and liver and gallbladder disorders, commonly associated with parenteral nutrition.
The global enteral feeding device market is primarily driven by rising incidences of cancer and neurological disorders, growing adoption of enteral nutrition, particularly in home settings and an increasing popularity of enteral feeding among pediatrics. The growth would be further supplemented by ageing population and growing awareness about enteral nutrition. However, stringent regulations, and inadvertent dislodgment of tubes (leading to accidental disabilities and deaths) are likely to hinder the market growth. The global enteral feeding devices market is expected to reach $ 2,846.7 million by 2020 at a CAGR of 5.6% during 2015-2020.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220406/Evaluating-clinical-and-economic-impact-of-varying-COVID-19-booster-effectiveness-in-the-US.aspx | In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers used an economic model to project the differences in the clinical and economic impact of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-1273 and BNT162b2 booster vaccines among the adult population of the United States (US) for 2022.
Real-world data and predictive modeling have shown that protection against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) varies by vaccine type, the number of vaccine doses, and the timing since vaccination. Additionally, initial vaccine effectiveness (VE) and waning differ for the circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.
About the study
In the present study, researchers explored three scenarios to match three mRNA booster market share scenarios:
i) where the booster mix given in December 2021 continued throughout 2022, referred to as the current scenario,
ii) where only the mRNA-1273 booster would continue in 2022, referred to as the mRNA-1273 scenario and,
iii) where only the BNT162b2 booster would continue in 2022, referred to as the BNT162b2 scenario.
In the US, 94.7% and 93.7% of people who received the BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 primary series also received the BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 boosters, respectively. However, of those who received the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine during the primary vaccination, 41.8% received the mRNA-1273 booster whereas 31.1% received the BNT162b2 booster.
Additionally, they performed sensitivity analyses to investigate the effect of COVID-19 prevalence in unvaccinated individuals and VE using the model predicted values. The economic analyses of the study were made from a US healthcare perspective. Since the current study used a decision-analytic model, it used a decision tree to estimate COVID-19 consequences and costs.
The study model projected three specific booster market share scenarios for 2022 to examine the hypothetical impact of changing the mix of boosters to 100% mRNA-1273 or 100% BNT162b2. It estimated the size of the US adult population and the number of patients receiving the primary series only and primary series with a booster dose and computed the number of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in each group.
For each month, the model grouped study participants into unvaccinated, vaccinated with primary series, and vaccinated with primary series plus booster. For the last two groups, the researchers reduced the incidence of infection according to the VE and recalculated each month to account for waning based on time since vaccination. They used May as the anchor month to calculate the period since the primary series for the VE calculations for each month for those who received the primary series in 2021.
For those who received a booster dose in 2021, the team assumed that the booster was received in November. The estimate of the primary series VE was an average of the waning adjusted VE weighted by the proportion of people receiving each primary series. Similarly, they estimated booster VE as a weighted average of the waning adjusted VE and the proportion of people receiving each booster.
The primary study outcomes were outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and mortality from COVID-19 in 2022.
Study findings
For the current scenario, the model predicted 3.4 million hospitalizations, 65.2 million outpatient visits, and 636,100 deaths. The mRNA-1273 scenario reduced these outcomes, whereas the BNT162b2 scenario increased them compared to the current scenario.
The results for January 2022 were excluded from the analysis when case incidence surged due to the new SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern (VOC) Omicron. The reported COVID-19 outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and deaths between February and December 2022 were 17.9 million, 965,600, and 182,800, respectively. During this period, mRNA-1273 boosters reduced the outcomes by 2.3% to 2.8%, whereas BNT126b2 use increased them by approximately 1.4% to 2.1%.
In all scenarios examined during the study, the three study outcomes increased when the VE was lower and decreased when the VE was higher. Nevertheless, the mRNA-1273 booster prevented COVID-19 better than the BNT162b2 booster.
Although the incidence of COVID-19 was highly uncertain for 2022, varying incidence rates (low to high) did not alter the overall model results. In the 100% mRNA-1273 booster scenario, there were lesser outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and deaths. Further, it also decreased the associated costs compared to the current scenario and 100% BNT162b2.
Conclusions
Regardless of the COVID-19 incidence or the circulating SARS-CoV-2 variant, the study data indicated that the mRNA-1273 booster was more effective than the BNT162b2 booster in averting COVID-19 cases and hospitalization over time. Thus, increasing the number of US citizens receiving the mRNA-1273 booster may reduce the number of COVID-19 cases and associated costs in 2022.

Despite implementing a strict COVID-zero policy, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) new variant of concern (VOC) Omicron alone surged COVID-19 cases in Australia to as high as six million in six months since November 2021. The country had already vaccinated around 90% of its population with two doses by this time. Although the mortality rate was much lower than before, Omicron still claimed 5,000 lives in Australia.
About the study
In the present study, researchers used a decision-analytic Markov model to evaluate Australia's COVID-19 booster vaccination strategy during the Omicron wave. Assessing the economic impact of the booster strategy at the population level helped the researchers derive insights into the country's overall COVID-19 prevention and mitigation strategy.
The team conducted an economic evaluation survey around three months after mass-level administration of the second dose of a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based COVID-19 vaccine from a healthcare perspective.
The study model simulated COVID-19 progression among all the individuals over 16 years for approximately 180 days, focusing primarily on Omicron transmission. The team defined the vaccine efficacy (VE) as short-term and long-term because studies have indicated that VE of BNT162b2, mRNA1273, and Covishield COVID-19 vaccines wanes in about three months.
The model comprised 11 health states, and the researchers estimated transition probabilities between them using the formula p = 1 − e - r. Note, that r here denotes the daily transition rate. The model explored three case scenarios for its simulations. The first was a counterfactual scenario where no one received any booster shots. In the second, booster coverage was 69.4% by 5 May 2022, and in the third scenario, all the eligible individuals received booster shots on time.
The international vaccine access center provided VE data for Omicron infections. Additionally, the team referred to the 'Our World in Data’ website for daily reported COVID-19 cases in Australia. They integrated this data with the COVID-19 vaccination information in Australia to compute variations in the population incidence of COVID-19.
The team pooled the short-term and long-term VE estimates of the primary and booster vaccination using 11 eligible studies. Based on the VE variations, the team developed a mathematical model that estimated the distributions of clinical COVID-19 stages in both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. The team computed the direct medical cost of each COVID-19 case by multiplying the unit cost of the medical services by the duration of each disease stage. They also derived the summation of medical costs of all the COVID-19 cases with varying severity.
The medical services comprised general practitioner (GP) consultation, hospitalization, and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The vaccine and its administration cost were A$53 and A$20 per dose, respectively. Likewise, the cost of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid antigen tests (RAT) for COVID-19 was A$85 and A$13 per person, respectively. Additionally, the team considered the estimates of pricing models for COVID-19 treatments published by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review.
The assumed discount rate for both cost and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) was 3% per year. The researchers compared the incremental costs and incremental QALYs for the booster vaccination strategy. They computed the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), keeping a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of ICER below A$50,000. The team also estimated the net monetary benefit, benefit-cost ratio, and cost per death saved.
Lastly, the team performed probabilistic sensitivity analyses (PSA) based on 100,000 simulations to estimate the probability of the booster strategy being cost-effective across several cost-effectiveness thresholds. They varied the evaluation period from 90 to 180 days to report the corresponding benefit-cost ratio and ICER.
Study findings
In a counterfactual scenario with no booster vaccinations, the authors noted a direct medical cost of A$5.31 billion. The current booster strategy reduced the direct medical cost by A$1.28 billion while incurring an additional vaccination cost of A$0.88 billion. Since this strategy fetched a net monetary benefit of A$0.43 billion, it appeared cost-effective and even gained 670 QALYs over 180 days.
The authors also noted that while the current booster strategy prevented one COVID-19 death at the cost of A$655,077, implementing a universal booster strategy would reduce this cost further to A$476,123 to prevent one COVID-19 death.
The PSA also showed the cost-effectiveness of the current booster strategy, including a cost-saving probability of 71.2%. Varying evaluation periods from 90 to 180 days in this cost-effectiveness analysis indicated the need for greater than 140 days evaluation period for the current booster strategy to be cost-effective. Moreover, the benefit-cost ratio of a booster strategy was 0.55 in a 90-day evaluation period. It implied that a dollar worth of investment on the booster saved A$0.55 in treating fewer hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and this ratio increased from 0.55 to 1.45 upon extending the evaluation period to 180 days.
Conclusions
The study had several important findings. One of the key findings was that the current booster vaccination strategy was highly cost-effective, and the universal vaccination strategy further saved cost.
The current booster strategy saved 1.32 million new SARS-CoV-2 infections, 65,170 hospitalizations, 6,927 ICU admissions, and 1,348 deaths in 180 days, with a cost-benefit ratio of 1.45 and a net monetary benefit of A$0.43 billion. A lower benefit-cost ratio of 1.45 in Australia was primarily attributable to the higher cost of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines in Australia compared to the United States.
Further, the universal vaccination strategy, i.e., administering a booster as soon as an individual met the eligibility criteria, saved an additional 1.42 million additional new cases, 73,753 hospitalizations, 8,081 ICU admissions, and 1,706 deaths, with a cost-benefit ratio of 1.95 and a net monetary benefit of A$1.46 billion.
Because the short-term VE against Omicron infections of a booster shot was 62% and reduced to 46% after 90 days; therefore, a rapid scale-up to a universal booster vaccination strategy was highly cost-effective and successfully combated the Omicron epidemic in Australia. However, for the booster strategy to be as cost-effective as predicted, the epidemic needed to persist for 140 days.
The study findings also pointed out that when low-cost antiviral drugs would be accessible to the general public in the future, the cost-effectiveness of the booster strategy declines further.

The results for January 2022 were excluded from the analysis when case incidence surged due to the new SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern (VOC) Omicron. The reported COVID-19 outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and deaths between February and December 2022 were 17.9 million, 965,600, and 182,800, respectively. During this period, mRNA-1273 boosters reduced the outcomes by 2.3% to 2.8%, whereas BNT126b2 use increased them by approximately 1.4% to 2.1%.
In all scenarios examined during the study, the three study outcomes increased when the VE was lower and decreased when the VE was higher. Nevertheless, the mRNA-1273 booster prevented COVID-19 better than the BNT162b2 booster.
Although the incidence of COVID-19 was highly uncertain for 2022, varying incidence rates (low to high) did not alter the overall model results. In the 100% mRNA-1273 booster scenario, there were lesser outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and deaths. Further, it also decreased the associated costs compared to the current scenario and 100% BNT162b2.
Conclusions
Regardless of the COVID-19 incidence or the circulating SARS-CoV-2 variant, the study data indicated that the mRNA-1273 booster was more effective than the BNT162b2 booster in averting COVID-19 cases and hospitalization over time. Thus, increasing the number of US citizens receiving the mRNA-1273 booster may reduce the number of COVID-19 cases and associated costs in 2022.

Background
The continual emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) variants of concern (VOCs) warrants the development of adapted SARS-CoV-2 vaccines as health authorities and policy-makers plan for COVID-19 vaccinations in fall 2022. Studies have reported that COVID-19 patients elicit lower neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.4/5 VOC than against Omicron BA.1 VOC.
About the study
In the present study, researchers estimated the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infections and associated hospitalizations by administering three different mRNA vaccine boosters against SARS-CoV-2 over six months (between September 2022 and February 2023) among adults residing in the US.
The participants were boosted with the mRNA-1273 monovalent vaccine (ancestral strain) from September 2022, the mRNA-1273.214 bivalent vaccine (ancestral strain + Omicron BA.1) from September 2022 onwards, or the mRNA-1273.222 bivalent vaccine (ancestral strain + Omicron BA.4/5) from November 2022. In addition, sensitivity analyses were performed based on SARS-CoV-2 transmissibility, mRNA vaccination coverage, masking, Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) treatment, and antibody waning against SARS-CoV-2 over time.
Susceptible-exposed-infection-recovered (SEIR) compartmental modeling was used for the analysis stratified by age and SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics. The SIER model was calibrated between 31 January 31, 2020, and 31 May 2022 for matching all SARS-CoV-2 infections to IHME (institute for health metrics evaluation) estimates.
Sensitivity analyses around transmissibility, vaccine coverage, masking, and waning of natural and vaccine-induced immunity changed the magnitude of cases prevented but boosting with mRNA-1273.214 in September consistently prevented more cases of infection and hospitalization than the other two strategies.
It was assumed that the prime vaccinations for the study participants were combinations of the BNT162b2 and AD26.COV2.S and mRNA-1273 vaccines and that all participants received prime vaccinations and initial booster vaccinations before 31 May 2022, and the second booster vaccinations before 15 June 2022.
The model simulation period was divided into three timeframes: pre-Omicron (between 31 January 2020 and 30 November 2021); Omicron BA.1/2 (between 1 December 2021 and 14 August 2022); and Omicron BA.4/5 (between 15 August 2022 and 28 February 2023). Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was estimated for prime vaccinations, the first booster, and the second booster based on relative nAb titers [geometric mean titers (GMT)] for estimating the impact of vaccinations and newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Results
Compared to no boosters, the estimated decreases in SARS-CoV-2 infections by mRNA-1273, mRNA-1273.214, and mRNA-1273.222 vaccines were 34%, 40%, and 18%, respectively, over six months. Likewise, initiating booster vaccinations in September viz. mRNA-1273 and mRNA-1273.214, significantly prevented hospitalizations by 42% and 48%, respectively, than booster vaccination initiation in November by mRNA-1273.222 (25%) over six months in comparison to no boosters.
The model predicted that by September 2022, individuals who received only prime vaccinations or the first booster would elicit no vaccine-induced immunity, while VE for the second booster was <30%, and VE against COVID-19 severity was <50% for recipients of only prime vaccinations. The mRNA-1273.214 booster increased protection against SARS-CoV-2 by 70% and against infection severity by 90%.
If it is assumed that Omicron BA.4/5 would persist for >1 year, the mRNA-1273, mRNA-1273.214, and mRNA-1273.222 boosters were estimated to decrease SARS-CoV-2 infections by 36%, 47%, and 45%, respectively, in comparison to booster vaccinations in the fall period. The projected COVID-19 case counts were estimated to decrease with stronger natural immunity; however, the mRNA-1273.214 booster remained effective even after assuming that natural immunity waned at a rate of 50% with a 36% decrease in COVID-19 case counts in comparison to no boosters in the fall period.
The percent reduction in six months of COVID-19 cases when boosting with mRNA-1273.214 was 33%, and no fall booster was 36%. On delaying the enhancement in SARS-CoV-2 transmissibility from 15 August to 15 September 2022 and administering boosters from September onwards, the reduction in infection severity with mRNA-1273.214 in comparison to no fall booster was 42%.
If fall booster uptake was 25% of the estimated base case scenario, the estimated reductions in COVID-case counts were 27%, 14%, and 32% for the mRNA-1273, mRNA-1273.222, and mRNA-1273.214 boosters, respectively. Reducing the rate of antibody waning of the mRNA-1273.214 booster by 25% prevented 41% of infections, 50% prevented 42% of infections, and 75% prevented 43% of SARS-CoV-2 infections, respectively, in comparison to no fall booster.
Conclusion
Overall, the study findings showed that vaccinating with the bivalent mRNA-1273.214 booster was more effective over six months in preventing Omicron BA.4/5 infections and associated hospitalizations compared to the next-generation mRNA-1273.222 vaccine only because mRNA-1273.214 booster could be administered two months earlier than the mRNA-1273.222 booster. Booster vaccinations must not be delayed until an Omicron BA.4/5-specific vaccine is available.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220406/Evaluating-clinical-and-economic-impact-of-varying-COVID-19-booster-effectiveness-in-the-US.aspx | In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers used an economic model to project the differences in the clinical and economic impact of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-1273 and BNT162b2 booster vaccines among the adult population of the United States (US) for 2022.
Real-world data and predictive modeling have shown that protection against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) varies by vaccine type, the number of vaccine doses, and the timing since vaccination. Additionally, initial vaccine effectiveness (VE) and waning differ for the circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.
About the study
In the present study, researchers explored three scenarios to match three mRNA booster market share scenarios:
i) where the booster mix given in December 2021 continued throughout 2022, referred to as the current scenario,
ii) where only the mRNA-1273 booster would continue in 2022, referred to as the mRNA-1273 scenario and,
iii) where only the BNT162b2 booster would continue in 2022, referred to as the BNT162b2 scenario.
In the US, 94.7% and 93.7% of people who received the BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 primary series also received the BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 boosters, respectively. However, of those who received the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine during the primary vaccination, 41.8% received the mRNA-1273 booster whereas 31.1% received the BNT162b2 booster.
Additionally, they performed sensitivity analyses to investigate the effect of COVID-19 prevalence in unvaccinated individuals and VE using the model predicted values. The economic analyses of the study were made from a US healthcare perspective. Since the current study used a decision-analytic model, it used a decision tree to estimate COVID-19 consequences and costs.
The study model projected three specific booster market share scenarios for 2022 to examine the hypothetical impact of changing the mix of boosters to 100% mRNA-1273 or 100% BNT162b2. It estimated the size of the US adult population and the number of patients receiving the primary series only and primary series with a booster dose and computed the number of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in each group.
For each month, the model grouped study participants into unvaccinated, vaccinated with primary series, and vaccinated with primary series plus booster. For the last two groups, the researchers reduced the incidence of infection according to the VE and recalculated each month to account for waning based on time since vaccination. They used May as the anchor month to calculate the period since the primary series for the VE calculations for each month for those who received the primary series in 2021.
For those who received a booster dose in 2021, the team assumed that the booster was received in November. The estimate of the primary series VE was an average of the waning adjusted VE weighted by the proportion of people receiving each primary series. Similarly, they estimated booster VE as a weighted average of the waning adjusted VE and the proportion of people receiving each booster.
The primary study outcomes were outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and mortality from COVID-19 in 2022.
Study findings
For the current scenario, the model predicted 3.4 million hospitalizations, 65.2 million outpatient visits, and 636,100 deaths. The mRNA-1273 scenario reduced these outcomes, whereas the BNT162b2 scenario increased them compared to the current scenario.
The results for January 2022 were excluded from the analysis when case incidence surged due to the new SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern (VOC) Omicron. The reported COVID-19 outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and deaths between February and December 2022 were 17.9 million, 965,600, and 182,800, respectively. During this period, mRNA-1273 boosters reduced the outcomes by 2.3% to 2.8%, whereas BNT126b2 use increased them by approximately 1.4% to 2.1%.
In all scenarios examined during the study, the three study outcomes increased when the VE was lower and decreased when the VE was higher. Nevertheless, the mRNA-1273 booster prevented COVID-19 better than the BNT162b2 booster.
Although the incidence of COVID-19 was highly uncertain for 2022, varying incidence rates (low to high) did not alter the overall model results. In the 100% mRNA-1273 booster scenario, there were lesser outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and deaths. Further, it also decreased the associated costs compared to the current scenario and 100% BNT162b2.
Conclusions
Regardless of the COVID-19 incidence or the circulating SARS-CoV-2 variant, the study data indicated that the mRNA-1273 booster was more effective than the BNT162b2 booster in averting COVID-19 cases and hospitalization over time. Thus, increasing the number of US citizens receiving the mRNA-1273 booster may reduce the number of COVID-19 cases and associated costs in 2022.

Background
To date, over five million confirmed cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) cases, including 6.2 million deaths, have been reported globally. COVID-19 vaccines have played a critical role in curbing COVID-19 transmission; however, the waning efficacy of these vaccines has led to the administration of booster vaccines for better protection against infection and disease severity.
About the study
The researchers of the present study estimated the relative vaccine effectiveness (VE) of COVID-19 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) booster vaccines as compared to the primary two-dose vaccine series.
The study included vaccinated participants from an ongoing longitudinal study called the prospective assessment of COVID-19 in a community (PACC) between 20 December 2021 and 24 February 2022. Participants who were aged 12 years and above and were eligible to receive a booster dose, that is, five months had passed since the participant had completed their mRNA primary vaccine series. Almost 96% of the samples sequenced during the follow-up period were infected with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.
The team estimated the hazard ratios of SARS-CoV-2 infections in individuals vaccinated with the primary series in comparison to those who had received their booster vaccine dose. Individuals belonging to the primary vaccine series cohort were vaccinated either after 20 December 2021 or five months or more after receipt of the second dose, whichever was later, and before the administration of the third dose or the end of the study, whichever was earlier. Individuals belonging to the booster vaccinated cohort had received their vaccine after 20 December 2021 or 14 days or more after the administration of the third dose, whichever occurred later.
The team conducted sensitivity analyses to evaluate the VE of all participants except those reporting an immunocompromised state or those who were previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 prior to 20 December 2021. Also, a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection was defined as a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result before 20 December 2021 or self-reported during study enrolment.
Results
The study results showed that 884 individuals participated in the study. These participants were aged between 12 to 90 years, while 62% of them were female and 42% had one or more chronic health conditions. Almost 26% of the participants had completed their primary vaccine dose while 74% of the participants had received a booster vaccine dose by the end of the follow-up period. Notably, the median time between the completion of the primary series and the beginning of the follow-up period was 233 and 275 days for unboosted and boosted participants, respectively. Moreover, the median time from the receipt of the booster vaccine to the beginning of the follow-up period was 33 days for participants who had received their booster dose.
Among individuals who had completed the primary series but had not received the booster dose, 74% had received two doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine, 26% received two doses of the mRNA-1273 vaccine, and none were administered with mixed products. Among boosted participants, a total of 62% were vaccinated with two doses of BNT162b2, 38% with two doses of the mRNA-1273, and 0.2% with mixed products during their primary vaccine series. Approximately 65% and 35% of the booster doses were BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively.
Out of 9.3% of the SARS-CoV-2 infections identified, 46 were reported after the primary dose and 36 after the receipt of the booster dose. This correlated to the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 at 9.6/10,000 person-days among booster dose vaccinees and 34.6/10,000 person-days among primary series vaccinees. The study also estimated the relative VE as 66% for boosted individuals as compared to those vaccinated with only the primary series.
SARS-CoV-2 infections prior to 20 December 2021 were reported by 23% of the primary series vaccinees and 18% of the boosted individuals. Furthermore, reinfection was observed in only one primary series vaccinee among the 172 participants who reported a previous infection.
Overall, the study findings showed that vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 was short-lived and was impacted by waning immune response against infection. The researchers believe that routine SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations are necessary to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220406/Study-explores-incidence-of-cardiac-impairment-a-year-after-SARS-CoV-2-infection.aspx | In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers used cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to show the one-year trajectory of cardiac impairment in long coronavirus disease (COVID) patients. Additionally, they examined the impact of acute hospitalizations for COVID 2019 (COVID-19) on cardiac impairment.
Background
Long COVID patients exhibit persistent symptoms, including dyspnoea, palpitations, and chest pain over 12 weeks following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Several cross-sectional studies have also reported cardiac impairment of varying degrees in long COVID patients using different methodologies; however, studies elucidating the association between long COVID and cardiac impairment are sparse.
About the study
In the present study, researchers invited 534 long COVID patients to participate in the CoverScan study for a multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of the lungs, heart, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen between May 2020 and August 2021. The test subjects who showed organ impairment in the baseline MRI scan in more than one of the following organs - lungs, heart, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys were followed up for six months.
The control group comprised sex and age-matched 92 healthy individuals; scanned twice on the same date as the test subjects with a 10-minute interval to assess the measurement repeatability. Using repeatability coefficients (RC) for each CMR metric in healthy controls, the researchers determined the smallest detectable difference between repeated scans. Likewise, they assessed baseline and follow-up metrics using reference ranges calculated in healthy controls.
On both the MRI scan dates, the researchers also collected two blood samples, of which one was sent for analysis immediately, and the other was fractionated and frozen for subsequent analysis.
The study definition of cardiac impairment encompassed ≥1 outside of reference range for left or right ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF or RVEF) or left or right ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV or RVEDV), low 3D echocardiographic global longitudinal strain (GLS) or ≥3 quantitative T1 mapping segments. Similarly, multi-organ impairment was defined as ≥2 measurements outside reference ranges in an organ, excluding elevated kidney or liver volume.
Study findings
CMR data was available for 534 individuals at a six-months median after the appearance of the first COVID-19 symptoms. Only one of six individuals had abnormal CMR with low LVEF and RVEF; additionally, 62% of individuals with cardiac impairment had severe long COVID, based on questionnaires.
Cardiac impairment was prevalent in 19% and 15% of long COVID patients at six and 12 months of follow-up, respectively. Although some of the patients had myocarditis, it was difficult to diagnose by routine echocardiography.
Over 43% of individuals had severe COVID-19 symptoms, including fatigue, shortness of breath, headache, chest pain, and cough. Interestingly, symptom prevalence was similar regardless of cardiac impairment in long COVID patients.
At the six-month-follow up, one of the five individuals suffered from a cardiac impairment, predominantly non-myocarditis. About 81% of individuals presenting with cardiac injury at baseline in this study did not require acute COVID-19 hospitalization.
Although MRI assessment showed a higher prevalence of cardiac T1 abnormalities and multi-organ involvement (renal) in those with cardiac impairment and acute COVID-19 hospitalization, blood biomarkers and symptoms did not differentiate between hospitalized and non-hospitalized groups.
Three months after infection, 26% of the 58 hospitalized long COVID patients had persistent abnormalities in cardiac T1, and 29% had increased cortical T1, a marker of kidney inflammation. After six months, 52% had persistent symptoms and cardiac impairment. While in 201 individuals, the authors observed 26% and 4% renal impairment, in 443 individuals, 10 months post-mild-to-moderate COVID-19, subclinical multi-organ impairment was associated with cardiac impairment. After a year of follow-up, 54% of individuals with cardiac impairment did not fully recover.
Importantly, CMR parameters, including LVEF, 3D GLS, and cardiac T1 were predictive of the quality of life and COVID-19 symptom severity at 12 months.
Conclusions
The study conducted CMR of the non-hospitalized, post-COVID-19 cohort in a non-acute setting for one year and reported several new findings.
Overall, 19% and 58% of long COVID patients presented cardiac impairment at baseline and had ongoing cardiac impairment at 12 months, respectively. Moreover, the patients most commonly suffered from T1, T2, and LGE abnormalities. At baseline, the authors noted that high RVEDV, low LVEF, and low GLS were associated with cardiac impairment, and low LVEF at baseline resulted in persistent cardiac impairment at 12 months.
The study data could be used for cardiac metrics and definition standardization and to scale up research, practice documentation, and cardiac monitoring.

ONE IN FIVE individuals with long Covid suffer cardiac impairment six months after getting infected, with half of these experiencing symptoms that persist for over a year, a study has warned.
Long Covid victim discusses daily impact of virus
Sufferers of long Covid, or “post-COVID-19 syndrome”, appear to experience various symptoms — often including fatigue, brain fog and shortness of breath — and organ impairments that can last for weeks or months after initial coronavirus infection. These issues can occur even in patients whose Covid symptoms were initially mild. COVID-19 itself is known to lead to cardiovascular complications, and a number of cross-sectional studies have shown that the same can occur with long Covid. However, more research into how these manifestations change with time is needed to better understand the full impacts of long Covid.
The study was conducted by clinical data science expert Professor Amitava Banerjee of University College London and her colleagues.
The team recruited 534 UK-based individuals with long Covid and assessed the function and structure of their cardiovascular system using MRI at six months after they first exhibited symptoms.
Of these, 330 exhibited unusual scan results in comparison with healthy controls and so were reassessed after 12.6 months.
Alongside both scans, the researchers also collected records of the symptoms the patients reported experiencing and took blood samples for analysis.
The researchers found that 102 of the subjects, or 19 percent, had some form of cardiac impairment other than myocarditis — inflammation of the heart muscle — six months after their initial infections with SARS-CoV-2.
Of these individuals, 71 were included in the group that received the follow-up scan, and 58 percent of them were found to have ongoing cardiac issues more than a year after infection.
The team noted that conventional cardiac-related blood biomarkers were not predictive of cardiac impairment resulting from long Covid.
However, they did find that long Covid patients with a low left ventricular ejection fraction — a measure of how well the left ventricle pumps blood — six months after coronavirus infection were more likely to still be suffering from cardiac impairment another six months later.

The team also noted that the cardiac issues seen six months after contracting Covid appeared tended to be more severe in those patients who has been hospitalised as a result of a severe initial infection.
There also appeared to be a gender disparity at play.
The researchers said: “Our results indicate that, despite women being more affected by Long COVID, men have higher risk of cardiac impairment.”
While further studies may be needed to determine exactly why this is, possible explanations could include sex-based differences in the ACE2 receptor that SARS-Cov-2 targets, the regulation of immune responses and patterns of coagulation, drinking and smoking.

ANALYSIS
The news comes as, on Friday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that he cannot rule out the possibility of future lockdowns in the event a new and deadly Covid variant were to emerge.
Mr Johnson told GB News: “I think it would be irresponsible of any leader in any democracy to say that they’re going to rule out something that can save lives.
“I’ve got to be absolutely frank with you, there could be a new more deadly variant — there could be a variant that affects children — that we really need to contain.
“I’m not going to take any options off the table. But I don’t think it will happen.”

But even in those situations some people may experience aftermath which are known as prolonged COVID. Patients have been found to develop persistent cardiac symptoms, such as exercise intolerance, tachycardia and chest pain, and researchers in Germany set out to explore these problems.
The team of Dr. Valentina Puntmann and other researchers at Frankfurt University Hospital carried out a prospective MRI study with people with mild COVID-19, and a control group. They showed that myocardial inflammation can last more than 3 monthssymptoms may worsen and in some patients edema may persist for more than a year.
The researchers started from the belief that late complications from coronavirus infection are increasingly recognized.
“Myocardial injury, evidenced by troponin elevation, is common in hospitalized patients with pre-existing disease and is associated with higher rates of cardiac complications and poor prognosis. Nevertheless, in individuals isolated at home, not hospitalized, with mild initial illness and no prior cardiac conditions, significant troponin elevation is rarely found despite the fact that symptoms are often profound. wrote in an article published in the journal Nature Medicine.
Before starting the work, the researchers took into account that “It remains uncertain whether the persistent symptoms, at least in part, are related to cardiovascular involvement and what the underlying pathophysiological correlates are”. The studies that had been performed primarily were in young athlete populations shortly after the initial infection and had recorded subtle myocardial inflammatory changes, nonischemic myocardial scarring, and pericarditis.
So, the German researchers wanted to clarify the uncertainties of the pathophysiology and its relationship with cardiovascular symptoms. they performed cardiovascular evaluations serially in a prospective study of selected individuals who had no known heart conditions or significant comorbidities and had been diagnosed with mild initial COVID-19 illness.
To test them, they used standardized questionnaires, blood sampling and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. “Our main hypothesis was that there are differences in imaging parameters and biomarkers between individuals with persistent cardiac symptoms after COVID compared with those without symptoms or with controls without prior infection. Furthermore, the hypothesis was that these markers improve at follow-up and that symptoms at follow-up can be predicted from baseline parameters,” they explained.
Initial measurements of 346 individuals with COVID-19 were obtained at a median of 109 days after infection. 52% were women. Cardiac symptoms were reported by 73% of participants, including shortness of breath on exertion (62%), palpitations (28%), atypical chest pain (27%), and syncope (3%).
Symptomatic individuals had higher heart rates and higher imaging values or accumulation of contrast agents, indicating inflammatory heart involvement, compared with individuals without symptoms.
Structural heart disease or elevated levels of biomarkers of cardiac injury or dysfunction were rare in symptomatic individuals. During follow-up more than 300 days after infection57% of the participants showed persistent cardiac symptoms.
Diffuse myocardial edema was more pronounced in participants who remained symptomatic at follow-up compared with those who improved. Edema is a swelling of the soft tissues that is secondary to the accumulation of interstitial fluid.
They found that being female and diffuse myocardial involvement on initial imaging are factors that can independently predict the presence of cardiac symptoms at follow-up. “Ongoing inflammatory cardiac involvement may explain, at least in part, the persistence of cardiac symptoms in previously healthy individuals with mild initial COVID-19 illness,” the researchers stated.
In the study of individuals with mild COVID-19, cardiac symptoms were related to subclinical inflammatory cardiac involvement. That “may explain, at least in part, the pathophysiologic background of persistent cardiac symptoms” in patients.
They noted that “subclinical cardiovascular inflammation is increasingly recognized as a risk factor in chronic systemic autoimmune conditions, thus further research is needed to establish long-term outcomes in the context of Post-COVID” or Prolonged COVID” .

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220406/Study-explores-incidence-of-cardiac-impairment-a-year-after-SARS-CoV-2-infection.aspx | In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers used cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to show the one-year trajectory of cardiac impairment in long coronavirus disease (COVID) patients. Additionally, they examined the impact of acute hospitalizations for COVID 2019 (COVID-19) on cardiac impairment.
Background
Long COVID patients exhibit persistent symptoms, including dyspnoea, palpitations, and chest pain over 12 weeks following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Several cross-sectional studies have also reported cardiac impairment of varying degrees in long COVID patients using different methodologies; however, studies elucidating the association between long COVID and cardiac impairment are sparse.
About the study
In the present study, researchers invited 534 long COVID patients to participate in the CoverScan study for a multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of the lungs, heart, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen between May 2020 and August 2021. The test subjects who showed organ impairment in the baseline MRI scan in more than one of the following organs - lungs, heart, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys were followed up for six months.
The control group comprised sex and age-matched 92 healthy individuals; scanned twice on the same date as the test subjects with a 10-minute interval to assess the measurement repeatability. Using repeatability coefficients (RC) for each CMR metric in healthy controls, the researchers determined the smallest detectable difference between repeated scans. Likewise, they assessed baseline and follow-up metrics using reference ranges calculated in healthy controls.
On both the MRI scan dates, the researchers also collected two blood samples, of which one was sent for analysis immediately, and the other was fractionated and frozen for subsequent analysis.
The study definition of cardiac impairment encompassed ≥1 outside of reference range for left or right ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF or RVEF) or left or right ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV or RVEDV), low 3D echocardiographic global longitudinal strain (GLS) or ≥3 quantitative T1 mapping segments. Similarly, multi-organ impairment was defined as ≥2 measurements outside reference ranges in an organ, excluding elevated kidney or liver volume.
Study findings
CMR data was available for 534 individuals at a six-months median after the appearance of the first COVID-19 symptoms. Only one of six individuals had abnormal CMR with low LVEF and RVEF; additionally, 62% of individuals with cardiac impairment had severe long COVID, based on questionnaires.
Cardiac impairment was prevalent in 19% and 15% of long COVID patients at six and 12 months of follow-up, respectively. Although some of the patients had myocarditis, it was difficult to diagnose by routine echocardiography.
Over 43% of individuals had severe COVID-19 symptoms, including fatigue, shortness of breath, headache, chest pain, and cough. Interestingly, symptom prevalence was similar regardless of cardiac impairment in long COVID patients.
At the six-month-follow up, one of the five individuals suffered from a cardiac impairment, predominantly non-myocarditis. About 81% of individuals presenting with cardiac injury at baseline in this study did not require acute COVID-19 hospitalization.
Although MRI assessment showed a higher prevalence of cardiac T1 abnormalities and multi-organ involvement (renal) in those with cardiac impairment and acute COVID-19 hospitalization, blood biomarkers and symptoms did not differentiate between hospitalized and non-hospitalized groups.
Three months after infection, 26% of the 58 hospitalized long COVID patients had persistent abnormalities in cardiac T1, and 29% had increased cortical T1, a marker of kidney inflammation. After six months, 52% had persistent symptoms and cardiac impairment. While in 201 individuals, the authors observed 26% and 4% renal impairment, in 443 individuals, 10 months post-mild-to-moderate COVID-19, subclinical multi-organ impairment was associated with cardiac impairment. After a year of follow-up, 54% of individuals with cardiac impairment did not fully recover.
Importantly, CMR parameters, including LVEF, 3D GLS, and cardiac T1 were predictive of the quality of life and COVID-19 symptom severity at 12 months.
Conclusions
The study conducted CMR of the non-hospitalized, post-COVID-19 cohort in a non-acute setting for one year and reported several new findings.
Overall, 19% and 58% of long COVID patients presented cardiac impairment at baseline and had ongoing cardiac impairment at 12 months, respectively. Moreover, the patients most commonly suffered from T1, T2, and LGE abnormalities. At baseline, the authors noted that high RVEDV, low LVEF, and low GLS were associated with cardiac impairment, and low LVEF at baseline resulted in persistent cardiac impairment at 12 months.
The study data could be used for cardiac metrics and definition standardization and to scale up research, practice documentation, and cardiac monitoring.

Study: Reduced Exercise Capacity, Chronotropic Incompetence, Inflammation and Symptoms in Post-Acute COVID-19. Image Credit: Kateryna Kon / Shutterstock
Background
After acute COVID-19, some people develop long-term symptoms known as post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) or long COVID. Although some investigations claim that more than 30% of people infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have chronic symptoms, population-based assessments range from three to 12%. Given that SARS-CoV-2 has infected more than half of the population in the United States (US), understanding PASC is a significant public health concern.
Notably, the mechanisms behind chronic cardiopulmonary symptoms after long COVID are uncertain. Nonetheless, abnormal immune activation, endothelial dysfunction, and chronic inflammation have been linked to cardiopulmonary PASC. Characterizing phenotypes of cardiopulmonary long COVID by multimodality cardiac assessments may provide insight into possible pathways.
About the study
The present research aimed to delineate the etiology of cardiopulmonary symptoms associated with long COVID. For this, the team used multimodality evaluations, such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), ambulatory rhythm monitoring, echocardiography, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), and blood-based markers. The authors conducted CPET, ambulatory rhythm tracking, and CMR assessments among individuals with polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection less than one year earlier and symptomatic COVID-19 patients.
Exercise Capacity Among those with and without Cardiopulmonary Symptoms (n=39) On the left are box and whisker plots of unadjusted peak oxygen consumption (VO2 in ml/kg/min on the left and percent of predicted on the right) among those without (blue) and with chest pain, dyspnea, or palpitations (pink). Mean peak VO2 was 22.1 ml/kg/min among those with cardiopulmonary symptoms compared to 26.0 ml/kg/min among those without symptoms, a non-statistically significant difference of −3.9 ml/kg/min (95%CI −1.7 to 9.6; p=0.17) or 92% vs 103% percent predicted (difference −10.5, 95%CI −5.0 to 26.1; p=0.18). After adjustment for age, sex, hospitalization for acute COVID, BMI category, and months since SARS-CoV-2 infection, peak VO2 was 2.7 ml/kg/min lower among those reporting cardiopulmonary symptoms (95%CI −6.9 to 1.5; p=0.20) which is equivalent to 11% lower than predicted (95%CI −27 to 5, p=0.17), neither of which were statistically significant differences.

In addition, the subjects were part of the long-term impact of the novel CoV (LIINC) group. The LIINC study explored SARS-COV-2 recovery in those with confirmed COVID-19 and included individuals with severe acute and asymptomatic illnesses.
Furthermore, excluded subjects in the present study included pregnant women to minimize confounding associated with expected cardiac alterations in pregnancy and those with a significant cardiopulmonary disorder, such as myocardial infarction, congenital heart disease, heart surgery, or heart failure. Additionally, subjects self-reported variables such as race, gender, income, education, and ethnicity. The team adjusted for confounders and utilized linear regression and logistic models to compare people with and without cardiopulmonary symptoms such as chest pain, dyspnea, and palpitations.
Findings
According to the study results, 46 subjects had a minimum of one advanced cardiac test at about 17 months following COVID-19 among the 120 individuals studied. In addition, the median age of the subjects was 52, 18 were female, and six were hospitalized for severe acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Heart Rate During Exercise by Chronotropic Response These lines represent the average heart rate at a given percentage of exercise completed classified by normal exercise capacity and chronotropic response during exercise on the top in purple (peak VO2≥85% predicted and AHRR ≥80%; R2 0.89), normal exercise capacity with reduced chronotropic response in teal (peak VO2≥85% predicted and AHRR <80%; R2 0.90), and reduced exercise capacity with chronotropic incompetence in yellow (peak VO2<85% predicted and AHRR <80%; R2 0.75). Gray bars represent 95% confidence intervals for each fitted line. Results are similar when plotting %APMHR or AHRR instead of absolute heart rate (Supplemental figure 1).
In the 39 CMR subjects, low right ventricular (RV) volume and stroke volume, and increased extracellular volume were observed in participants with cardiopulmonary symptoms. However, there was no proof of augmentation in late-gadolinium or variations in T1 or T2 mapping.
In the ambulatory tracking group, the team found no arrhythmias. On the contrary, on 39 CPET participants, 13 out of 15 with lower exercise ability reported fatigue or cardiopulmonary symptoms. The controlled peak oxygen consumption rate (VO2) was reduced by 11% of predicted values or 2.7 ml/kg/min in individuals with cardiopulmonary symptoms, such as dyspnea and chest pain. Moreover, the corrected variation in peak VO2 was -21% of anticipated values or -5.9 ml/kg/min considering fatigue and cardiopulmonary symptoms.
Further, nine of the 15 volunteers with lower peak VO2 had chronotropic incompetence as their principal aberration. A controlled heart rate reserve of less than 80% was linked with lower exercise ability. Those with chronotropic incompetence reported increased high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP), reduced heart rate variability, and lower heart rate recovery, all of which are signs of autonomic dysfunction.
Conclusions
Altogether, the study findings showed that individuals with COVID-19 history and persisting cardiopulmonary symptoms 18 months after SARS-CoV-2 infection have poor exercise ability. The researchers found that reduced exercise ability was linked to chronotropic incompetence in PASC. Additionally, data from ambulatory rhythm tracking indicated higher hsCRP levels and autonomic dysfunction as a justification for cardiopulmonary PASC.
Besides, numerous subjects had trace or minor pericardial effusions. Yet, the investigators found no indication of past or continuing myocarditis. They mentioned that apart from myocarditis, these pericardial effusions were correlated to hsCRP. Moreover, the team suggested that further research into the processes of cardiopulmonary PASC should incorporate an examination of the autonomic nervous system to discover possible treatment targets.
To conclude, the current work demonstrated that after COVID-19, hsCRP and poorer exercise capacity and heart rate response to exercise were linked to cardiovascular symptoms persisting for more than a year. Besides, the findings indicated that cardiopulmonary long COVID might be caused by persistent autonomic dysfunction and inflammation.

April 6 (Reuters) - A Minneapolis police officer will not face criminal charges for fatally shooting a 22-year-old Black man during a no-knock raid on an apartment in February, state and local prosecutors announced Wednesday.
The dead man, Amir Locke "is a victim," Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman said in a statement, but prosecutors lacked evidence to bring charges against Mark Hanneman, the member of the Minneapolis SWAT team who fired the shot.
The state also lacked evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any criminal wrongdoing by any officer involved in the planning and execution of the Feb. 2 raid, prosecutors said.
Even so, the statement said, "this tragedy may not have occurred absent the no-knock warrant used in this case."
The killing of Locke, an aspiring rap artist, was the latest in a series of killings by law enforcement to spark outrage over police treatment of racial minorities. It also highlighted the potential for violent interactions when police burst unannounced into residences to make arrests after a no-knock warrant has been issued..
Locke's shooting revived community calls for a ban on no-knock warrants, prompting Mayor Jacob Frey to place a moratorium on the practice last month. Strict limits on the practice are set to go into effect on Friday, KMSP-TV reported.
A Minnesota judge approved the warrant on the Minneapolis apartment as part of an investigation into a previous fatal shooting in the nearby city of St. Paul. Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill said it was necessary to protect officers searching the property. Locke was not a suspect in the crime or named in the warrant.
In the days after Locke´s killing on Feb. 2, police released video footage of the raid, and peaceful protests in downtown Minneapolis have drawn hundreds of demonstrators to demand justice and a ban on no-knock warrants.
The Minneapolis case prompted comparisons with the 2020 killing of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who police fatally shot during a no-knock raid on her Louisville, Kentucky, apartment.
Prosecutors filed no charges in Taylor's shooting but one of the officers in March was acquitted by a jury on charges of endangering her neighbors with gunfire. The verdict cleared law enforcement of all criminal liability in a case that rocked the United States in 2020.

- Published
No criminal charges will be brought against a Minneapolis police officer who shot dead a 22-year-old man in an apartment during a "no-knock" raid.
Amir Locke was at his cousin's apartment on 2 February when a Swat team entered the home.
Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to charge officer Mark Hanneman, who fired the fatal shot.
They also said they did not have enough evidence to prove criminal wrongdoing by any of the other officers involved.
Mr Locke was sleeping in a couch in his cousin's apartment when a nine-member Swat team entered the home.
In bodycam footage released by the police after the incident, he is under a blanket on the couch holding a gun - for which he had a permit - in his hand. He was shot three times by Mr Hanneman.
His family has said they believe he was startled and reached for the weapon in self-defence.
A judge had approved a warrant for the raid, which was conducted as part of an investigation into a fatal shooting in the neighbouring city of St Paul. Mr Locke was not a suspect in the killing or named in the warrant, and his death prompted outrage and protests in Minneapolis.
On Wednesday, County Attorney Michael Freeman and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement that there was "insufficient admissible evidence to file criminal charges in this case".
The circumstances in the case "are such that an objectively reasonable officer in Officer Hanneman's position would have perceived an immediate threat of death or great bodily harm" the statement said, adding that "an objectively reasonable officer would not delay in using deadly force".
The statement also said that Mr Locke, an aspiring musician, was a victim and that his life mattered. "He should be alive today, and his death is a tragedy".
Mr Locke's mother Karen Wells said in a news conference following the announcement that she was "disgusted with Minneapolis, Minnesota".
Her son's death drew comparisons to the case of Breonna Taylor, a black woman who was shot and killed in her Louisville, Kentucky home by US police in March 2020 during another no-knock raid, which allows police to access without announcing their presence before entering.
Ms Wells vowed to "continue the fight for the no-knock warrant bans in honour of his name [and] for Breonna Taylor".
"This cannot happen to anybody else," she said.
As of Friday, Minneapolis police will no longer be allowed to apply for or execute no-knock warrants or respond to such requests from other police forces, barring certain '"exigent" circumstances, the mayor's office said this week. Under the new policy, police must repeatedly knock and announce their presence and purpose prior to entry. |

SAO PAULO, April 6 (Reuters) - COVID-19 infections and deaths have dropped across most countries and territories in the Americas over the past few weeks but the risk of further surges cannot be ignored as restrictions are relaxed and 240 million people remain unvaccinated, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) said on Wednesday.
"Many countries and territories in the Americas have scaled back public health measures, and some have done so prematurely," PAHO director Carissa Etienne said, noting that case counts have risen recently in places that rely on tourism, especially in parts of North America and the Caribbean where vaccination coverage is low.
The region continues to record more than 620,000 new cases every week, she said at a press conference.
Etienne also noted that the number of deaths have risen in some countries, but adjustments in data may account for part of those increases as some countries are reclassifying past deaths as COVID-19 related.
More than 685 million people have completed their vaccination schedules in the region, but "despite all our efforts, 240 million people in the Americas have yet to get a single shot of COVID vaccine," Etienne said.
The PAHO director underscored that countries must continue to monitor the virus to "stay prepared for what is coming."
"This means making tests easily accessible for everyone everywhere, to prevent new outbreaks and to prepare our health systems if cases surge."

https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/Stern-Grove-Festival-announces-park-reopening-17059872.php | Stern Grove has had its share of challenges over the past few years.
The picturesque green space located in the Parkside neighborhood is one of San Francisco's true natural treasures, and for 84 years has been the site of one of the country's premiere outdoor concert series. But the pandemic canceled their 2020 music programming, then after a triumphant return in the summer of 2021, a flood forced organizers to call off the final concert and has made the park unusable to the public ever since.
The Stern Grove Festival announced Tuesday that the free concert series will return for its 85th season beginning on June 12 and will run every Sunday through August 14. The talent for the concerts has yet to be announced, but fans should expect a mix of local and national bands. Last year, the diverse lineup featured innovative songwriters like Perfume Genius, punk rock pioneers X and Joan Jett, local favorites La Dona and Ledisi, and more traditional acts like the San Francisco Symphony.
Since the physical footprint of the space makes for a limited capacity, the festival implemented a ticketing reservation system last year. However, the concerts will also be streamed online for those who can't make it in person.
Although the park hopes to reopen to the public after the June 12 concert, this date is subject to change as repairs for the damage from 700,000 gallons of water that flooded the park are still ongoing. | 0 | 12,145 | 0.424838 | https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/article/San-Francisco-music-festival-favorite-Stern-Grove-17123057.php | 2022-04-24 21:34:09+00:00 | Just a few weeks after announcing it would return for its 85th season, San Francisco's storied Stern Grove festival dropped its lineup in an unexpected format that surprised some music fans during their morning commute.
Muni passengers were among the first to see the list of bands slated for the free outdoor concert series on bus ads spotted Friday afternoon. Rapper Too $hort and Oakland funk band Tower of Power are expected to kick things off on June 12 — a relief to those who had hoped to see the Bay Area icons close out last year’s festival. The roster continues with chillwave favorites Toro y Moi and Hello Yello, alt-rock legend Liz Phair and Madi Diaz, followed by the late aughts indie staple the Cold War Kids and San Francisco-based Geographer.
Also rounding out the festival later in July will be folk band Old Crow Medicine Show and Molly Tuttle, highly influential singer-songwriter Cat Power and Oakland’s Spellling, as well as country-pop artist LeAnn Rimes and Amythyst Kiah. The San Francisco Symphony is expected to return on July 31, followed by Taj Mahal and Monophonics, while Phil Lesh & Friends and Midnight North will wrap up the series with an annual Big Picnic fundraiser on August 14.
Word of the Stern Grove lineup announcement traveled quickly as photos of the bus ad were shared on Twitter and garnered hundreds of upvotes on the San Francisco subreddit, with some users claiming it was a “better lineup [than] Outside Lands.”
Stern Grove festival organizers announced their highly anticipated return earlier this month. Last August, the outdoor amphitheater surrounded by a lush backdrop of eucalyptus and redwood trees was flooded with 700,000 gallons of water due to a ruptured main water break, shutting down the last show and closing the Sunset District grove to the public for the foreseeable future.
“Although the Grove experienced extensive damage last fall due to a major water main rupture and while all renovations are not yet complete, the site has now been approved for in-person audiences again this summer,” read a press release from the festival. SFGATE reached out to spokespeople for Stern Grove and SFMTA for more details surrounding the festival announcement but did not hear back by time of publication.
Admission is still free, and as in years past, attendees can visit Stern Grove’s website 12 days in advance of each show to make a reservation on a first come, first served basis.
But even more surprises could be in store.
“Floods and leaks aside, things are going swimmingly over here,” read a tweet shared by the festival on Saturday afternoon. “Stay tuned for our full official lineup announcement May 3!” |
https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/Stern-Grove-Festival-announces-park-reopening-17059872.php | Stern Grove has had its share of challenges over the past few years.
The picturesque green space located in the Parkside neighborhood is one of San Francisco's true natural treasures, and for 84 years has been the site of one of the country's premiere outdoor concert series. But the pandemic canceled their 2020 music programming, then after a triumphant return in the summer of 2021, a flood forced organizers to call off the final concert and has made the park unusable to the public ever since.
The Stern Grove Festival announced Tuesday that the free concert series will return for its 85th season beginning on June 12 and will run every Sunday through August 14. The talent for the concerts has yet to be announced, but fans should expect a mix of local and national bands. Last year, the diverse lineup featured innovative songwriters like Perfume Genius, punk rock pioneers X and Joan Jett, local favorites La Dona and Ledisi, and more traditional acts like the San Francisco Symphony.
Since the physical footprint of the space makes for a limited capacity, the festival implemented a ticketing reservation system last year. However, the concerts will also be streamed online for those who can't make it in person.
Although the park hopes to reopen to the public after the June 12 concert, this date is subject to change as repairs for the damage from 700,000 gallons of water that flooded the park are still ongoing. | 1 | 54,307 | 0.459609 | https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/san-francisco/stern-groves-concert-meadow-reopening-in-time-for-festival-series-starting-next-month/2881829/ | 2022-05-04 22:01:27+00:00 | Sigmund Stern Grove's Concert Meadow in San Francisco will reopen in time for the 85th annual Stern Grove Festival concert series that starts next month after closing last August because of a water main break that flooded the site, city officials announced Tuesday.
The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department and San Francisco Public Utilities Commission announced the planned reopening as crews near completion on repairs to the Concert Meadow near 19th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard in the Sunset District before the concert series starts June 12.
A broken air valve on a water transmission pipeline flooded the site and other nearby areas in August, causing festival organizers to postpone the final show of the year in a series that typically includes free concerts across several summer Sundays.
Additional repair work in other areas of Stern Grove, such as the hillside and tennis court, will continue through summer 2023, according to the city.
"We're so glad that this summer's concert series will start on schedule," SFPUC general manager Dennis Herrera said in a news release that thanked the city agencies and the Stern Grove Festival Association. "We have been working together non-stop since August to bring back this amazing San Francisco concert experience."
The final show of the 2021 series that got postponed was supposed to feature Tower of Power and Too $hort, and those two acts will return for this year's series opener on June 12. Other acts in the Stern Grove series include Toro y Moi, Liz Phair, Cold War Kids, Cat Power, Leann Rimes, the San Francisco Symphony, and Phil Lesh & Friends.

https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/glasgow-nursery-served-raw-meat-23616030 | A south side nursery that received a damning care inspectorate report after it emerged they had served 'raw meat' to kids has been forced to shut.
Little Einsteins Nursery in Pollokshields failed to secure the insurance needed to operate after an inspection in August 2021 presented serious concerns about food safety.
Glasgow City Council has confirmed that funding for places at the facility had been withdrawn after the owners breached their contract, the Daily Record reports.
Inspectors discovered children had been fed meat that had not been safely prepared and that was still raw during a visit last year.
The food was immediately removed by workers when they found it was unsafe for consumption, however, children had already begun eating the meal before the risk was identified.
After the inspection, the owners, Forth Care Limited, were issued with an Emergency Condition Notice which stated, "Food prepared in the kitchen located at 620 Shields Road, Glasgow G41 2RD must not be served to children using the service or permitted to be consumed by them."
Prior to closure, 17 staff were employed at the nursery and 63 children were registered pupils.
The report also found that children were unnecessarily exposed to potential risks from infection because not all staff working in the service were following guidance on infection prevention and control.
It stated some of the staff undertaking cleaning tasks were unclear about what procedures should be followed to minimise the risk of transmission across the setting.
The outdoor play was found to not have been maximised to reduce the spread of infection or provide all children with regular energetic play across the day.
The report read "there were major weaknesses in critical aspects of practice which required immediate remedial action to ensure the health, welfare, and safety of children."
Little Einsteins has been closed since March 18.
Furious staff posted about the situation at the nursery on social media this morning.
A Facebook post read: "Firstly, we would like to make everyone aware of the situation at Little Einsteins Nursery.
"At the moment the nursery remains closed to staff and families due to a lack of insurance and support from higher management.
"The staff team would like to thank everyone for their support at this difficult time.
"However, this post comes with a great sadness, going forward all staff will no longer represent Little Einsteins nursery.
"There has been no communication regarding nursery closure or redundancy from the director or owner and they have now failed to pay wages owed despite parents having paid for a service that was not provided to them and Glasgow City Council making funded payments for children’s childcare."
Staff told the Daily Record they were gutted at the situation.
Manager Kyrie Anderson said she felt very let down by the owners of Little Einsteins and said the situation has upset many staff and parents.
Kyrie's partner and daughter also work at the nursery.
She said: "This will have a massive effect on my family. That's three of us left with no incomes.
"I'm just totally gutted that it's come to this. I've been very loyal to my bosses. Myself and my staff don't deserve to be treated this way. We have been nothing but supportive and this us how they repay us.
"The way they have handled this shows they have no consideration for our wellbeing's.
"I am determined to fight to try to get my staff they money they are owed."
A spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council said it had issued a letter to parents on March 25 to inform them that funding was being withdrawn "as the nursery could not reassure us that they could get insurance."

Glasgow City Council said funding for places at Little Einsteins in Pollokshields had been withdrawn after the owners breached their contact by failing to insure the service on the back of Care Inspectorate report that raised serious concerns about food safety.
Inspectors discovered that children had been fed raw meat and had already begun eating the meal before staff identified the risk.
The food for young children was said to be "high risk" and inspectors had to intervene to ensure that meat was cut down into manageable sizes.
"After discussions with staff, we were not satisfied that staff demonstrated an awareness of choking risks or how to prevent and manage a choking episode in children.

Despite employees not knowing the children well, they failed to check information held about children's food allergies prior to lunch being provided.
After the inspection, on August 5, the owners were issued with an Emergency Condition Notice stating, "Food prepared in the kitchen located at 620 Shields Road, Glasgow G41 2RD must not be served to children using the service or permitted to be consumed by them."
The report also found that workers were monitoring different playrooms due to staff shortages and children were being "held" in high chairs to allow staff to complete domestic tasks.
Infection control procedures "did not support a safe environment for children and staff."
Only a small number of staff had completed recent child protection training.
"In addition, we reviewed the current child protection and safeguarding policy and procedure and found it had not been updated to reflect any changes due to Covid-19 and did not include guidance or tools to support the gathering, recording and assessment of information."
Damaged and potentially dangerous, equipment had not been removed or fixed including the nursery gate.

"There were major weaknesses in critical aspects of practice which required immediate remedial action to ensure the health, welfare, and safety of children."
In a message posted on the Little Einsteins Facebook page, employees said they "would no longer represent" the nursery claiming they had received no communication from owners about the closure or possible redundancy plans.
They claimed the company had failed to pay wages and said parents were also owned money for nursery care that had not been provided.
The nursery offers places for 63 children and is owned by Forth Care Ltd, said to be headed up by Umar Ishaq, with Azeem Khan and Sobian Khan listed as directors.
The website for Forth Care is listed as "permanently closed".
The firm's website states that it owns another nursery in Dundee. Neither business was answering calls from The Herald today.
An unnanounced inspection on August 5 last year rated the nursery as "unsatisfactory" in every category.
The initial inspection took place "because of concerns raised following the inspection of the care home service operating from the same premises and by the same provider".
A follow-up inspection carried out on August 10 found the required improvements had not been made.
Children were being exposed to potential risks from infection because "not all staff working in the service were following guidance on infection prevention and control".
Outdoor play was not maximised to reduce the spread of infection or provide all children with regular energetic play across the dayand staff were not routinely required to wear face coverings in some communal areas. Youngsters were said to be "disengaged" from activities.
Another inspection is listed on the Care Inspectorate website for March 21 but was not available.
A spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council said it had issued a letter to parents on March 25 to inform them that funding was being withdrawn "as the nursery could not reassure us that they could get insurance."
Heather Douglas, Head of Early Learning and Childcare, writes: "Nothing is more important than the safety of our children and we are not prepared to take any risks when it comes to their daily care.

"We are aware that the nursery is currently closed and of course, you can choose to continue to send your child to the nursery should it re-open but please be aware that the nursery will no longer receive council funding for your child’s place and you must meet the nursery charges for your child yourself."
The council said its early years team was working with the families to help them find alternative provisions.
Staff claimed the company had failed to pay tax and national insurance despite it being deducted from pay.
Some parents said they had not been made aware of the "abrupt closure".
One wrote, in response to the staff Facebook post: "I find this to be a complete shambles.
"There were parents who didn’t receive an email about the very abrupt closure, parents going about their day expecting to drop their kid(s) off and go to work as normal and to find the nursery is closed with zero explanation?
"Why did the nursery accept children a few weeks before this? Allowing children to be settled in? This isn’t something that just happens overnight.
The owners of this Business must be held accountable.
"They don’t care about the well-being of parents or their children. They don’t care that many children will be left confused, and that parents will now need to encounter the stress of finding new nurseries.
"Parents have obviously paid money to this nursery ( in advance)and some might need to take time off work to be with their children which will mean they’re losing money from work.
"To me, the owners knew exactly what they were doing when taking innocent peoples money."
Another man said he had supplied lunches to the nursery and had not been paid for outstanding invoices from last year.
The Herald has contacted the owners for comment. |

A nursery was forced to close when it lost its insurance for mistakenly feeding children raw meat.

https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/UK-charges-guard-at-Berlin-embassy-with-spying-17061631.php | LONDON (AP) — A security guard at the British Embassy in Berlin has been extradited from Germany and charged with spying for Russia, U.K. police said Wednesday.
The Metropolitan Police force said David Ballantyne Smith, 57, was sent back to Britain on Wednesday. He faces nine charges under the Official Secrets Act related to “the collection and communication of information useful to the Russian state.”
Smith is due to appear in a London court on Thursday,
Police said the alleged offenses took place between October 2020 and August 2021, when Smith was arrested by German police at his home in Potsdam, southwest of Berlin.
Nick Price, head of special crime and counterterrorism at Britain's Crown Prosecution Service, said Smith is accused of “seven offenses of collecting information with the intent of sending it to the Russian authorities, one of attempting communication and one of providing information to a person he believed was a member of the Russian authorities.”
During the Cold War, Berlin was often dubbed “the capital of spies” because the city was on the frontlines of the confrontation between the Soviets in the East and the Americans and their western allies in the West.
Espionage activities supposedly abated after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the end of the Cold War, but Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has once again chilled relations between Moscow and the West and put espionage back in the spotlight.

https://www.kark.com/reviews/br/health-wellness-br/supplements-br/best-premier-protein-shake/ | Which Premier Protein shakes are best?
If you’re looking for an easy way to add protein to your diet, you may want to consider adding a protein shake to your routine. Premier Protein shakes deliver 20-30 grams of protein per serving, and they contain up to 24 essential vitamins and nutrients, from vitamin A to fiber and folate.
While there are only two varieties of Premier Protein available, you’ll have over a dozen rich flavors to consider. The best-selling original blend, Premier Protein Shake, comes in several sweet flavors, including cafe latte and cinnamon roll.
What to know before you buy a Premier Protein shake
What do protein shakes do?
Many people use protein shakes to increase their daily protein intake. Having enough protein in your diet plays an important role in maintaining muscle mass and keeping up a healthy metabolism. According to the Mayo Clinic, the average adult needs between 46-56 grams of protein every day. This amount may vary depending on your health, height, weight and age.
Some people enjoy protein shakes as convenient snacks, particularly as alternatives to prepared or packaged snacks, which may lack protein and other nutrients. Other people incorporate protein shakes into their pre- and post-workout routines. However, protein shakes, powders and bars are supplements, and you shouldn’t use them in place of whole foods on a consistent basis. Mix them in throughout the day with other meals and natural protein sources.
Types of Premier Protein shakes
There are two Premier Protein shake varieties, the original blend and the newer oats blend, both of which are chock-full of nutrients and vitamins. Premier Protein also has Clear Protein Drinks which have almost as much nutritional benefit as their shakes. These clear drinks are comparable to flavored water and have a light, refreshing flavor and formula.
What to look for in a quality Premier Protein shake
Protein source
Although Premier Protein shakes use milk protein concentrate, the Premier Protein Clear Protein Drinks use whey protein isolate. Both protein sources come from milk, but the main difference between whey and milk is casein, a protein only found in milk. Whey protein isolate undergoes a process that removes the casein protein.
Casein has its pros and cons because it takes longer for the body to digest, making you feel full for longer. However, people with lactose sensitivities may not be able to tolerate it as well. Whey protein is quicker and easier to digest, which may be a better option for some depending on their goals and dietary preferences.
Nutrients
Besides up to 30 grams of protein, Premier Protein beverages only contain 1 gram of sugar. They also have up to 7 grams of fiber and 90-160 calories. The drinks have up to 24 vitamins and nutrients, including zinc, biotin, selenium, iron and magnesium.
Packaging
Some Premier Protein shakes come in 11-ounce cardboard bottles, whereas others are in 11.6-ounce plastic bottles. Premier Protein Clear Drinks, on the other hand, are sold in 16.9-ounce bottles.
How much you can expect to spend on Premier Protein shakes
Premier Protein shakes cost $22-$28 for a 12-pack, though hard-to-find varieties occasionally cost more. Premier Protein clear protein drinks are slightly more expensive at $24-$30 per 12-pack.
Premier Protein shake FAQ
When should I drink Premier Protein shakes?
A. Many people drink protein shakes in the morning, so they feel full until lunchtime. Others prefer having a shake right before or after an intense workout, particularly for high-intensity cardio or weight training. This tactic helps support muscle growth and recovery.
Why does Premier Protein shakes claim to offer immune support?
A. On average, Premier Protein shakes contain up to 25% of your recommended daily intake of vitamins C and E. Both of these vitamins act as antioxidants, which protect you against free-radical damage. Free-radical damage can contribute to a weakened immune system.
Do I need to take vitamins if I drink Premier Protein shakes?
A. It depends on your diet and overall health. Premier Protein shakes can supplement your daily nutrient intake with small amounts of vitamins and minerals. However, it’s best to get the bulk of your nutrients from whole foods and vitamins. If you’re concerned about your vitamin and nutrient intake, speak to your doctor about your goals and options.

What to know before you buy a Premier Protein shake
What do protein shakes do?
Many people use protein shakes to increase their daily protein intake. Having enough protein in your diet plays an important role in maintaining muscle mass and keeping up a healthy metabolism. According to the Mayo Clinic, the average adult needs between 46-56 grams of protein every day. This amount may vary depending on your health, height, weight and age.
Some people enjoy protein shakes as convenient snacks, particularly as alternatives to prepared or packaged snacks, which may lack protein and other nutrients. Other people incorporate protein shakes into their pre- and post-workout routines. However, protein shakes, powders and bars are supplements, and you shouldn’t use them in place of whole foods on a consistent basis. Mix them in throughout the day with other meals and natural protein sources.
Types of Premier Protein shakes
There are two Premier Protein shake varieties, the original blend and the newer oats blend, both of which are chock-full of nutrients and vitamins. Premier Protein also has Clear Protein Drinks which have almost as much nutritional benefit as their shakes. These clear drinks are comparable to flavored water and have a light, refreshing flavor and formula.
What to look for in a quality Premier Protein shake
Protein source
Although Premier Protein shakes use milk protein concentrate, the Premier Protein Clear Protein Drinks use whey protein isolate. Both protein sources come from milk, but the main difference between whey and milk is casein, a protein only found in milk. Whey protein isolate undergoes a process that removes the casein protein.
Casein has its pros and cons because it takes longer for the body to digest, making you feel full for longer. However, people with lactose sensitivities may not be able to tolerate it as well. Whey protein is quicker and easier to digest, which may be a better option for some depending on their goals and dietary preferences.
Nutrients
Besides up to 30 grams of protein, Premier Protein beverages only contain 1 gram of sugar. They also have up to 7 grams of fiber and 90-160 calories. The drinks have up to 24 vitamins and nutrients, including zinc, biotin, selenium, iron and magnesium.
Packaging
Some Premier Protein shakes come in 11-ounce cardboard bottles, whereas others are in 11.6-ounce plastic bottles. Premier Protein Clear Drinks, on the other hand, are sold in 16.9-ounce bottles.
How much you can expect to spend on Premier Protein shakes
Premier Protein shakes cost $22-$28 for a 12-pack, though hard-to-find varieties occasionally cost more. Premier Protein clear protein drinks are slightly more expensive at $24-$30 per 12-pack.
Premier Protein shake FAQ
When should I drink Premier Protein shakes?
A. Many people drink protein shakes in the morning, so they feel full until lunchtime. Others prefer having a shake right before or after an intense workout, particularly for high-intensity cardio or weight training. This tactic helps support muscle growth and recovery.
Why does Premier Protein shakes claim to offer immune support?

A. It depends on your diet and overall health. Premier Protein shakes can supplement your daily nutrient intake with small amounts of vitamins and minerals. However, it’s best to get the bulk of your nutrients from whole foods and vitamins. If you’re concerned about your vitamin and nutrient intake, speak to your doctor about your goals and options.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-61014265 | 'Disheartened' Nuneaton laments another defibrillator theft
- Published
A community has been left "disheartened and disappointed" after eight defibrillators for public use were stolen in a month.
In the latest theft to emerge, a device was taken from Horeston Grange Church in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
The item had been funded by community projects and charitable donations.
Devices have also been stolen in recent weeks from Co-op stores in Nuneaton and Bulkington, Warwickshire, plus Burbage and Croft Hill in Leicestershire.
The church defibrillator is believed to have been snatched between 25 March and 30 March.
First responder Samantha Hall, who played a key role in having it installed, was among those to express frustration.
She told the BBC: "I'm disheartened and disappointed. A lot of people worked hard to raise this money to get this here. It's an ideal location for a defibrillator but now it's [gone]."
The Co-op defibrillators have since been replaced by the chain and stored inside the shops, meaning they are now unavailable to the public beyond trading hours.
The original devices had been funded by donations collected by Kate Williams and her husband Paul after a mural at their home, in homage to England's Euro 2020 squad, attracted thousands of visitors.
Mrs Williams said: "The generosity was phenomenal and was the best of Nuneaton, now we've seen the absolute worst of Nuneaton unfortunately from one or two individuals. It is mindless and just doesn't make sense. It makes us really, really sad."
Insp Dave Williams, from Warwickshire Police, branded the thefts "disgraceful", saying: "The offenders have put their own greed before the lives of others.
"We completely understand the anger and concern in the community resulting from these callous thefts."

Marcus Jones, the town's voice in Parliament, said the recent thefts are 'beyond belief' and called for the 'vile' behaviour to stop.
As we reported in our newsletter, yet another defibrillator has been stolen - this time from outside Horeston Grange Church in Nuneaton. This follows a spate of thefts of the devices from outside Heart of England Co-op stores.
Such is the severity of the situation that the company took the drastic decision to move all of its defibrillators inside its stores for the foreseeable future. Warwickshire Police is investigating the thefts and Mr Jones has urged anyone who knows who is responsible to speak out.

“I am absolutely shocked and sickened by this despicable theft," he said. “This spate of thefts is beyond belief and we all know how crucial defibrillators are as life-saving equipment.
"They are vital to our local community here in Nuneaton and now local residents are deprived of something which could save their lives. I would urge whoever is doing this to return the defibrillators immediately and I would also urge anybody with any information relating to the thefts to contact the police."
He concluded: "This vile behaviour must stop and respect be shown for vital life-saving equipment.”
Anyone with any information about the thefts or has been offered or seen a defibrillator for sale should call Warwickshire Police on 101. Details can also be passed on to officers via the independent charity Crimestoppers, which is free to call from a landline and confidential, on 0800 555 111. |

The number of life-saving devices taken from communities goes on as reports of another theft have emerged.
This time it was taken from St Thomas Church, Keresley. The church reported that the device, which was paid for by cash raised by the community, has been taken from the church hall.
It is the second church to be targeted as another was taken from the cabinet outside Horeston Grange Church in Nuneaton.

"We're very disappointed to discover today on its regular check that the defibrillator on our church hall has been stolen," said a post on the St Thomas' Keresley page on Facebook.
"It was bought with fundraising led by our Guides and will be costly to replace.
"Please, if anyone has seen anything or has CCTV footage, please contact the parish office on info@keresley.church"
Police action
Warwickshire Police has previously said that it is 'actively pursuing' a number of leads following the 'callous' spate of thefts.

https://www.wrtv.com/news/national/russia-ukraine-conflict/russia-could-face-historic-default-after-u-s-bars-it-from-accessing-american-banks | The Treasury Department will not allow any Russian government debt payments from accounts at U.S. financial institutions to be made in U.S. dollars, an agency official says.
That restricts one of the strategies President Vladimir Putin is employing to stave off default.
Russia faces several April deadlines to make debt payments.
If it does not make those payments, Russia will face a historic default.
The country holds more than $600 million in reserves held in American banks.
The Kremlin must now choose between draining remaining valuable dollar reserves, new revenue coming in or possible default.
Treasury had previously said sanctions levied on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine still permit Russia to continue to make debt payments.
The debt is owed to foreign investors, among others, and comes from government investments to presumably spur economic growth in Russia. | 0 | 94,448 | 0 | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/russia-ukraine-conflict/russia-could-face-historic-default-after-u-s-bars-it-from-accessing-american-banks | 2022-04-06 17:24:27+00:00 | The Treasury Department will not allow any Russian government debt payments from accounts at U.S. financial institutions to be made in U.S. dollars, an agency official says.
