Disaster looms for indigenous Amazon tribes as COVID-19 cases multiply

Indigenous communities in Brazil suffer from the virus on one hand and "genocidal" interlopers on the other, rights groups say.

With the coronavirus spreading into remote territories across the Brazilian Amazon, indigenous leaders and rights officials are pleading with the government to adopt urgent measures to head off a catastrophe.

According to figures compiled by the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB), the country’s principal indigenous federation, deaths from COVID-19 in indigenous communities have risen from 46 on May 1 to 262 on June 9. Together with numbers tallied by state health departments around the country, APIB’s statistics show that 9.1 percent of indigenous people who contract the disease are dying, nearly double the 5.2 percent rate among the general Brazilian population.

The growing number of cases and the government’s sluggish response have prompted allegations of incompetence and disarray in official efforts to protect vulnerable tribal populations from contagion. Indeed, government health-care workers, together with illegal mineral prospectors and other intruders, now figure among the principal vectors of infection into protected indigenous territories. A report released last week by the federal attorney general’s office accused a team of health workers of “flagrant negligence” and decried the likelihood that government nurses and technicians had spread the virus among the very indigenous populations they’re supposed to protect.

On June 4, the federal indigenous health service, known by the acronym SESAI, acknowledged that four of its workers tested positive for the virus while deployed to a Kanamari tribal village in Javari Valley Indigenous Territory in far-western Brazil. A SESAI communiqué sought to downplay the episode, saying that only one of the workers had developed COVID-19 symptoms and that all four had been removed to quarantine.

But the attorney general’s report, released on June 5, voiced concern that the infected workers may have spread the virus to several other villages. And it accused another team of “flagrant disregard of the epidemiological risk” for entering the northeastern side of the Javari reserve without observing recommended quarantine protocols, to tend to Korubo tribespeople deemed particularly vulnerable.

Moreover, the report cited the “patent deterioration” of the enforcement capacity of FUNAI, the agency charged with defending the boundaries of Brazil’s indigenous lands. The report says that steep budget cuts and reassignment of personnel at FUNAI have heightened prospects for illegal incursions into the reserve by prospectors, fishermen, and animal poachers who could bring the virus with them.

The 33,000-square-mile Javari Valley Indigenous Territory hosts the world’s largest number of indigenous communities living in extreme isolation, sometimes referred to as “uncontacted tribes.” FUNAI has confirmed the presence of nine such groups in the reserve totaling perhaps 1,000 to 1,500 people; there may be as many as nine more groups, according to FUNAI field agents. Though most Korubo have now been contacted by outsiders, officials estimate that there are still 40 to 50 uncontacted members of the tribe deep in the forest.

The Korubo, like other uncontacted and newly contacted groups in the Amazon, are considered already at especially high risk for infectious diseases because they lack immunological defenses to pathogens brought in by outsiders. This makes them all the more susceptible to respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19.

Dispersed in towns and villages along the upper Amazon River, the Kokama people have suffered 55 deaths from the virus since early April. That’s when a family of four was infected by a health service doctor who recently had returned from a conference in southern Brazil and failed to observe self-isolating protocols afterward.

Tracking death and infection rates from the coronavirus among indigenous people in Brazil can be a challenge—and a source of contention. SESAI tracks only cases inside demarcated indigenous territories. Its numbers don’t reflect coronavirus infections in indigenous people living in cities or villages not specifically designated as indigenous lands. (Families in São Paulo only have 10 minutes to say goodbye to coronavirus victims.)

“This discrepancy is exactly the most accurate expression of the institutional racism that leads to authorized genocide,” says Sônia Guajajara, APIB’s executive coordinator. As of June 9, SESAI had recorded 85 indigenous deaths from COVID-19. The National Committee of Indigenous Life and Memory, created to track pandemic victims and tell their stories, puts the number at three times that. “The government wants to hide the real numbers in order to carry out its plan to exterminate the indigenous peoples,” she says.

Efforts to reach SESAI for comment went unanswered.

Poachers and the pandemic—a dual threat

Indigenous leaders say the government of right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro is failing to defend their people from a dual threat: the spread of the coronavirus on the one hand and a surge of land invasions on the other. Deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon are up nearly 60 percent over last year, according to Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research, with enforcement efforts crippled by the lockdown and official edicts that have cut back on protections for the environment and indigenous populations.

“The invaders themselves are vectors of contamination,” Guajajara says. In far-flung regions where isolated tribes are present but law enforcement has retreated, intrusions from gold prospectors or timber poachers could result in “total extermination” of the highly vulnerable indigenous groups, she says.

FUNAI denies any failure on its part. “At no time has the institution exempted itself from any legal obligation to protect and promote the rights of indigenous peoples, always striving for zeal and attention in its actions,” the agency said in a written response to questions from National Geographic. The statement also said that FUNAI has been “adopting all the measures that are within its reach in combating the pandemic of the new coronavirus.”

Many indigenous groups say otherwise. An ongoing surge of thousands of illegal gold prospectors has despoiled large swaths of sprawling Yanomami Indigenous Territory, in the northern state of Roraima. Miners have poisoned rivers with the mercury they use to separate gold from the Amazon’s sandy soil. They have also brought malaria, alcohol abuse, sexually transmitted diseases—and now, Yanomami leaders fear, COVID-19. Three Yanomami have died so far from the coronavirus, and tribal leaders say there are at least 55 cases of infection.

“Our biggest concern now is that the miners will spread the disease to the communities,” said Dario Kopenawa, vice president of the Hutukara Yanomami Association, which represents the 26,000 tribal members living in Yanomami Indigenous Territory. “The miners are going to kill the Yanomami by contamination.”

His remarks coincided with a report released last week by researchers from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais and the São Paulo-based thinktank Instituto Socioambiental, which found that 40 percent of Yanomami living near the gold strikes are in danger of COVID-19 infection. One prospecting encampment is located within a two-day trek from an uncontacted Yanomami village. Activists fear that a single infection could annihilate that indigenous community.

Hutukara has joined with a consortium of Brazilian and international cultural rights groups to launch a campaign called MinersOutCovidOut. The campaign is demanding the eviction of the estimated 20,000 miners who are illegally prospecting for gold in Yanomami territory.

“Living encyclopedias” at risk

Anthropologists are particularly concerned about the potentially devastating loss to indigenous communities if their elders—who are the most vulnerable to infection—are swept away by the pandemic. “The elderly are living encyclopedias retaining the worldview of these populations,” says Tiago Moreira dos Santos, an anthropologist with Instituto Socioambiental. “They are the guardians of a culture. We’re talking not only about myths and stories but also about language, memory, and knowledge that are fundamental to the existence of a people.”

At the outset of the pandemic, many indigenous groups moved swiftly to limit the spread of the coronavirus, Sônia Guajajara says. They erected roadblocks and sanitary barriers, and they sewed masks and urged tribal members to remain in their villages, she says: “Every community is adopting its own protection measures.” (Residents inside Brazil's largest apartment complex also took protective measures into their own hands.)

“Indigenous people have been through wave after wave of fatal epidemics,” says Glenn Shepard, an American anthropologist at the Emilio Gueldi Museum, in Belém, a center for the study of biological and sociocultural diversity in the Amazon. “So they knew exactly what to do—isolate yourself.” Such long-standing self-protection, he says, accounts for the continuing presence in Brazil and neighboring countries of uncontacted tribal communities, perhaps as many as a hundred such groups throughout the Amazon.

“This is how the isolated indigenous people, the so-called uncontacted peoples, got the way they are,” Shepard says. “It’s because of illness and violent displacement that they sealed themselves off from everybody else. That’s been their strategy since the beginning.”

But the government of Jair Bolsonaro has put out mixed messages on how to respond to the pandemic—inciting citizens to ignore lockdown and social distancing measures while luring indigenous people to cities to receive modest stimulus payments, Guajajara says. Taken together with initiatives and statements that encourage outsiders to usurp indigenous lands and other protected areas, it adds up to a social and environmental disaster in the making.

“This is moment of general alert, because we’re completely cornered,” she says, “by the virus on one side and the genocidal measures of this fascist government on the other.”

Bipartisan ‘Infrastructure’ Bill Includes $250 Million for Invasive Plant Program

A large patch of Kudzu quickly takes over a parking lot. (Atlantagreg/Getty Images)

The bipartisan infrastructure package pending in the Senate allocates $250 million to the Invasive Plant Elimination program, providing grants to states to clear invasive plant species that obstruct or line roads, highways, railroads, or other ground-level transportation routes.

According to the provision’s language, $50,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2022 through 2026, totaling $250 million in tax-payer money, will be appropriated to execute the program.

To be eligible to receive funds, states must submit an application detailing to their plans to “eliminate or control existing invasive plants or prevent introduction of or encroachment by new invasive plants along and in areas adjacent to transportation corridor rights-of-way.”

Preferential treatment will be given to applicants that plan to replace the removed vegetation with native flowers and plants, “including those that are pollinator friendly.”

A percentage of each grant is expected to go to administrative costs such as employee salaries and insurance as well as equipment. Each state that receives a grant is required to draft an annual report accounting for use of the funds.

The bill’s obscure earmark for a state-level public landscaping project lends credibility to some Republicans’ concerns that the Biden-backed infrastructure plan could degenerate into a wasteful legislative boondoggle. Many Republican lawmakers have decried the nearly trillion-dollar price tag of the bill, a shrunken version of Biden’s original proposal valued at a whopping $4 trillion.

While the plan has been touted as crucial money source for rebuilding the nation’s allegedly crumbling physical infrastructure, from public transit to broadband internet, the inclusion of the invasive plant program challenges that assertion.

In May, Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell suggested Republicans would be interested in passing a smaller infrastructure bill with a $800 billion ceiling. After receiving partisan pressure, however, Senate Republicans countered Democrats’ $4 trillion spending plan with a nearly $1 trillion proposal. Since then, a bipartisan coalition of 22 senators has been ironing out the bill’s stipulations, amendments, compromises, and concessions. The final text was released Sunday and is expected to go to the Senate floor for a vote within the next week.

Surpassing the length of the mammoth Affordable Care Act spearheaded by the Obama administration, the infrastructure bill’s text stands at 2,702 pages.

Democrats are expected to follow the $1 trillion infrastructure package with a $3.5 trillion spending bill to fund progressive wishlist items such as subsidized childcare and expanded medicare coverage. The bill will likely be passed via budget reconciliation without GOP support.

Joint press conference

with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and the President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai

  • 04 Mar. 2013 -
  • |
  • Last updated: 23 Mar. 2013 09:21

I am very happy to be here with you again, Mr President. And to look back at how far Afghanistan has come.

Two years ago this month, the transition to Afghan security responsibility began. And in less than two years from now, Afghan troops and police will be fully responsible for Afghanistan’s security.

Two years ago, the Afghan forces were only in the lead in the Kabul area. Now they are taking the lead in areas where 87% of Afghans live.

At the same time, they have grown more capable, effective, and confident. Compared with this time two years ago, they are better trained. More experienced. And there are 75,000 more of them.

This steady progress has come despite great challenges, and at a great cost. Some of your forces have made the ultimate sacrifice.

We pay tribute to their courage, their professionalism, and their determination.
In the next few months, the Afghan forces will take the lead for security right across the country.

Every province. Every district. Every village and valley.

This a great responsibility. But Afghanistan’s forces have shown they can rise to the challenge. And they will continue to have our support.

Let there be no doubt: our commitment is certain, to the end of transition, and beyond it. NATO will stand by you.

Mr President, you were with us at our summit in Chicago last year, when we agreed to work towards establishing a new NATO-led mission, to provide training, advice and assistance after 2014.   That mission will be called Resolute Support – because our support for Afghanistan remains steadfast.

The whole international community has made an unprecedented commitment to support a stable and democratic Afghanistan.  And I am confident that the international community will live up to its commitments, just as we expect the Afghan government to live up to its commitments.
But the future of this country is in the hands of the Afghan people. Only Afghans can shape that future.

I met earlier today with a group of young leaders from across Afghanistan. These young men and women come from many places and walks of life. But they all have a clear vision for the future. They all share the energy and determination to make that vision real. And I was inspired by that meeting.

Their message was: this is our country, and we are building it.

Next year’s elections are your opportunity to choose the future you want. That is your sovereign right. It is your sovereign role. And it is your sovereign responsibility.

It will be vital that these elections are inclusive, and that the process and the outcome are acceptable to the Afghan people.

And it will be vital to make sure that the Afghan government continues to deliver on its commitments to strengthen the rule of law, fight corruption and uphold human rights, including the rights of women.

Because that will be key to maintain stability within Afghanistan, and support within the international community. No doubt, there will be challenges ahead. But no doubt, Afghanistan – with the support of its friends and partners - can do it.

ANDERS FOGH RASMUSSEN (NATO Secretary General): (...) Thank you, Mister President.

HAMID KARZAI (President of Afghanistan): Welcome, Sir. Would you like to pick the question there?

ANDERS FOGH RASMUSSEN: Yes, I can do that. Ladies, first.

Q: (Speaks in foreign language)

HAMID KARZAI: You take the easy part.

ANDERS FOGH RASMUSSEN: Yes, well, I don't know if it's easy. But I have a very clear message. First of all, I strongly condemn the statements that suicide attacks are legitimate. Nothing can justify such terrorist attacks, let me stress that. So I strongly condemn such statements.

Next, we have repeatedly urged the Pakistani government and the Pakistani military to step up the fight against terrorism and extremism in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan. We need a positive engagement of Pakistan if we are to ensure long-term peace and stability, not only in Afghanistan but in the region.

And I think time has come for the Pakistani leadership, the military leadership as well as the political leadership to realize that it is in their self-interest to ensure a peaceful development in Afghanistan.

HAMID KARZAI: (Inaudible)

Q: (Speaks in foreign language)

HAMID KARZAI: You, Sir. In the middle, yes.

Q: I'm Dylan Wilkes... Dylan Wilkes from Reuters. I'm just wondering in your conversation this morning whether any of the recent incidents in Kunar or Wardak were raised. And if so, what was discussed?

ANDERS FOGH RASMUSSEN: No, we didn't discuss these incidents.

HAMID KARZAI: May I add something to that. This is an issue between us and the United States. And we have faced it with the US government chair with the commander of the US Forces. We had a meeting the other day on this with Joe Dunford and the US ambassador. The US government is investigating the issue on its own and we hope that that will be shared with us very soon. Of course, you already know the position and the demand of the Afghan government.

Q: (Inaudible) First of all, welcome to Afghanistan. My question is about... There are some reports about the (Inaudible)... Afghanistan Ministry of Defence on handover of security and installations or facilities of NATO in Afghanistan. It has been said that NATO doesn't want to hand over these facilities to Afghan government because NATO say that Afghan forces have low quality to keep these facilities. I want to have your comments on this, thank you. (Speaks in foreign language)

ANDERS FOGH RASMUSSEN: This issue should be seen as part of the overall transition to transfer of lead responsibility to the Afghan security forces. Actually, some military facilities have already been handed over to Afghan authorities. And I would foresee more such facilities to be handed over in the future.

But of course, you also point to an aspect that is important. We negotiate with the Afghan authorities to make sure that such handover can actually also be managed afterwards. There are some economic aspects. There are technical aspects. There are educational aspects. We have to make sure that once a facility is handed over it can also be managed in an effective way and that it won't burden the Afghan government unnecessarily; because you have a lot of things to spend money on. For instance, it's important to provide a sufficient amount of funds to make sure that Afghan security forces can actually operate to the benefit of the Afghan people.

And if resources are then found in concrete buildings, things, that may actually occupy too many resources.... If your security forces that are supposed to protect your people they are to stay and guard military facilities that are not necessarily well suited for a specific purpose; then I think it's a waste of resources. So that's why we are in a very close dialogue with Afghan authorities as to how and as to whether such facilities should be demolished or actually handed over in a way that ensures that the Afghan security forces can provide effective security for the Afghan people. That's the purpose.

Q: (Speaks in a foreign language)

ANDERS FOGH RASMUSSEN: Well, my answer to that is very brief; because NATO is not in the business of listing... or black-listing organizations. So NATO, as an organization, doesn't deal with that. But as I said earlier today, I expect full and positive engagement of Pakistan when it comes to ensuring long-term peace and stability in the region. And of course, that includes all institutions and authorities in Pakistan.

Now, let me add to the previous question that obviously it's in our interest to see the Afghan Security Forces fully capable to take full responsibility for the security all over Afghanistan by the end of 2014, when the current ISAF combat mission ends. And obviously that also includes the necessary equipment.

As the president indicated, this is primarily an issue between Afghanistan and individual NATO Allies; because it is for individual NATO Allies to provide such military equipment.

And I know that a lot has already been done. I know that more will be done. Of course with a view to ensuring that the Afghan Security Forces are well equipped to address what is the real challenge when it comes to security in Afghanistan.

HAMID KARZAI: I think that's enough.

HAMID KARZAI: (Speaks in foreign language)

‘Less Meat’ Goes Mainstream: Options Grow for Plant-Based Eating

Sep 28, 2018 10:57AM ● By Marlaina Donato

Plant-based lifestyles, once considered by some as a fad that would fade, are on the rise worldwide. According to a Harris Interactive poll commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group, 6 million to 8 million Americans have completely eliminated meat, including seafood, from their plates. With a 600 percent increase of people going vegan domestically in the past three years and companies like Nestlé devising vegan-tailored product launches, plant-based eating is creating unprecedented demand.

“I’ve definitely seen plant-based eating become more mainstream. Many restaurants now provide plant-based options to keep their customers happy, and more food startups are creating nut- and soy-based cheeses, milks and yogurts,” says Lisa Stollman, a plant-based nutritionist in New York City. Vegan lunch options are even making their way into the Los Angeles public school system.

Millennials Lead the Way

GlobalData, a data and analytics company, reports, “Seventy percent of the world population is either reducing meat consumption or leaving meat off the table altogether,” with Millennials at the forefront.

“The environment has been the Millennial generation’s primary concern. Health is of less importance than interest in making the Earth a better place to live,” says Gene Stone, a plant-based diet expert in Hudson, New York, and author of the bestselling Forks Over Knives: The Plant-Based Way to Health.

Stollman concurs, saying, “The majority of my vegan clients are in their 20s and 30s, and their concern for animal treatment relates to sustainability. Sustainability helps to reduce methane emissions from industrial farms.”

Wynnie Stein, co-owner of the iconic Moosewood Restaurant, in Ithaca, New York, and co-author of its groundbreaking spinoff vegetarian cookbooks, has witnessed monumental changes since the early 1970s. Younger cooks at Moosewood have also brought passionate innovations to the establishment. “Millennials are incredibly creative, especially with plant-based and gluten-free dishes. They’re committed to animal rights and issues that affect the health of the planet,” observes Stein.

Benefits All Ages

Since the American Medical Association’s recent suggestion that hospitals consider providing plant-based meals for patients, perceptions are shifting. Holistic Cardiologist Joel Kahn, in Ferndale, Michigan, began teaching plant-based diets to heart patients in 1990, and has subsequently seen hundreds of them avoid invasive and surgical procedures, as well as show less evidence of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, obesity and hypertension. “Many of my patients have decreased or eliminated the otherwise lifelong ‘jail’ of prescription drugs. They learned that disease reversal, not management, is the goal,” says Kahn.

Supermarkets across the country are stocking meatless products like plant-based burgers. Many athletes and bodybuilders that have switched away from eating meat attest to improved results by tapping into plant power. People of all walks of life, including seniors, have embraced this paradigm. “There is increased interest in health as Baby Boomers age and start to realize the benefits of a plant-based diet, much of it due to myriad new research,” says Stone.

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, a diet rich in vegetables and fruits lowers blood pressure. The American Diabetes Association supports a nutrient-dense vegetarian diet that can decrease the risk of certain diseases.

For Stollman’s vegan clients aged 50 and older, “Health plays a strong role in their interest in plant-based eating. The science has become clear, and based on the evidence, I continue to teach my clients the importance of including plant-based meals in their daily diets,” she says.

Looking Forward

The surge of people changing their diet has a multilevel impact. “I feel deeply grateful to have been able to help spread the word about plant-based diets. Health, the environment and animal protection are great concerns of mine,” says Stone.

Stein appreciates how the positive change in diet benefiting people and the planet is coming full circle. “We’re still amazed and honored to know that our cookbooks have helped to create a sea change. Folks visiting from all over the world tell us how our recipes have influenced several generations of their families.”

Gulf Coast CEO of American Red Cross Quits

The CEO the Texas Gulf Coast American Red Cross says he's quitting because he disagrees with decisions related to the organization's response to Hurricane Harvey.

David Brady's departure comes only six month after he took the job.

Brady says it's "not fair" to the organization to have a leader "filled with that much doubt" and says he doesn't feel valued.

The Red Cross says in a statement it's grateful for his contributions and that its work supporting Harvey-affected families will continue.

The organization has come under fire for delays involving shelters and problems with a program providing $400 in cash to storm-ravaged households. The Houston Chronicle reports that as of mid-October, the Red Cross has authorized payment of more than $190 million to more than 477,000 households.

NASA astronaut Dan Burbank and Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin reached the space station slightly ahead of schedule, at 12:24 a.m. ET. The trio parked their Russian-built Soyuz TMA-22 capsule at the Poisk mini-research module on the station's Russian segment, as both spacecraft were flying 248 miles (400 kilometers) above the South Pacific.

The crew conducted an extensive set of leak checks before they opened the hatch of their capsule and floated into the station. The hatches between the two spacecraft were opened at around 2:39 a.m. ET. The two crews greeted each other with laughter, hugs and warm welcomes.

Burbank, Shkaplerov and Ivanishin received congratulatory satellite calls from Russian dignitaries and family members before participating in a safety briefing led by the station's current commander, NASA astronaut Mike Fossum.

The new station crew launched to the orbiting outpost with a plush, red toy bird from the video game "Angry Birds" inside their space capsule. The doll belonged to Shkaplerov's 5-year-old daughter, who was concerned about the welfare of her toy when she spoke to her father shortly after the hatch opening ceremony.

"Your bird is with me," Shkaplerov told his daughter from orbit. "It made it safely to the station. The bird is doing very well. I'm going to take it to my sleeping crew quarters, and I'm going to stay with it, and I'm going to bring it back to you for sure."

"That's good," she replied. "I'm going to be concerned about my birdie."

Burbank, Shkaplerov and Ivanishin are the first crew members to launch to the space station since NASA retired its space shuttle fleet in July.

The spacefliers will live and work aboard the orbiting laboratory for the next four months. During their stay, Burbank, Shkaplerov and Ivanishin will be involved in a variety of research scientific experiments, ranging from life sciences to Earth observation projects.

The arrival of the new crew members brings the population of the space station back up to its full capacity of six people, but not for long. Fossum, Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa and Russian cosmonaut Sergei Volkov have been living on the orbiting complex since early June, and the trio is scheduled to return home in their Soyuz TMA-02M capsule on Nov. 21.

Change of command
Before leaving, Fossum, the current commander of the station, will hand over his duties to Burbank, who will lead the station's Expedition 30 mission for the length of his stay. Fossum will spend this week helping Burbank get up to speed with the various science experiments and operations at the station.

Top row (from left to right): Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, NASA astronaut Mike Fossum and Russian cosmonaut Sergei Volkov. Bottom row (from left to right): Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, NASA astronaut Dan Burbank and Russian cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin.

"The crew will have a very busy time on orbit doing the handover, but the crew is prepared and ready to go do that, and then we're ready again for the landing that is coming up," Bill Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for NASA's human exploration and operations directorate, said in a post-docking news briefing from the Russian Federal Space Agency's Mission Control in Korolyov, Russia.

Burbank has visited the space station twice before on flights aboard the space shuttle Atlantis. The veteran spaceflier was a member of the STS-106 mission in 2000 and the STS-115 mission in 2006. This is his first long-duration stint aboard the orbiting complex.

Shkaplerov and Ivanishin are both making their spaceflight debuts. The three newest station residents will remain at the massive orbiting complex until March 2012.

Burbank, Shkaplerov and Ivanishin flawlessly launched into orbit on Monday local time in the midst of blizzard conditions at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Critical milestone
The successful launch represented a critical milestone for the Russia's space agency and its Soyuz fleet of rockets. In August, a Soyuz booster that was carrying an unmanned cargo ship suffered a malfunction shortly after launch, and the rocket and Progress 44 cargo freighter crashed in Siberia.

Burbank, Shkaplerov and Ivanishin were originally scheduled to launch to the station in September, but as officials conducted an investigation into the cause of the crash, Russian spaceflight operations to the space station were temporarily halted. This is because similar Soyuz rocket designs are used to loft both unamnned cargo freighters and humans to the orbiting complex.

The malfunction was a rare accident for the typically reliable Soyuz boosters, but engineering analyses eventually traced the problem back to the gas generator in the rocket's third stage.

The first supply run to the orbiting complex since the August crash took place on Oct. 30, when a robotic Progress 45 cargo ship launched to the station carrying nearly three tons of supplies. The successful liftoff of Burbank, Shkaplerov and Ivanishin represented the first manned Soyuz launch since the August failure.

"The Russian team did a tremendous job of getting ready, getting the crew prepared, and making this launch and docking," Gerstenmaier said. "This was not easy, and the Russians did a tremendous job of getting prepared and making today possible."

Cat Parasite Linked to Suicide Attempts in Humans

Women infected with the cat parasite Toxoplasma gondii are more likely to attempt suicide than non-infected women, new research finds. The reason for this connection, however, remains mysterious.
/ Source: LiveScience

Women infected with the cat parasite Toxoplasma gondii are more likely to attempt suicide than non-infected women, new research finds. The reason for this connection, however, remains mysterious.

T. gondii is a protozoa that prefers to infect cats, but can make its home in any warm-blooded animal. Humans can pick up the parasite from contact with cat feces, or by eating undercooked meat or unwashed vegetables. Once ingested, T. gondii can make a home for itself inside the brain and muscle tissues, protected inside cysts that are resistant to attacks by the host's immune system.

Some studies have linked infection by this parasite with a variety of mental health and brain problems, including schizophrenia, neurosis and brain cancer. But scientists aren't clear on whether the parasite contributes to these problems or is a mere side effect. Someone with schizophrenia, for example, might struggle to keep up good hygiene, meaning the mental disorder could increase the risk for infection. [ Top 10 Diabolical & Disgusting Parasites ]

The new study linking suicide and T. gondii has the same limitation. Researchers can't say for sure whether the parasite somehow drives people to suicide. But in women with infections, they found, the risk of an attempt is 1.5 times greater than in women without.

"We can't say with certainty that T. gondii caused the women to try to kill themselves, but we did find a predictive association between the infection and suicide attempts later in life that warrants additional studies," lead researcher Teodor Postolache, a psychiatrist at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, said in a statement. "We plan to continue our research into this possible connection."

A common infection

One-third of the world's population is infected with , which is often asymptomatic. The parasite is the reason that pregnant women are advised not to change cat litter boxes — they can inadvertently pass an infection directly to their fetuses.

In its usual animal hosts, T. gondii plays a literal cat-and-mouse game. Mice infected with the parasite lose their fear of the smell of cat urine. The parasite actually changes the brain so that the cat-pee smell becomes sexy to mice, prompting them to get close to their adversaries. This works out well for the parasite, which needs to get to a cat intestine to reproduce.

It's unclear whether the parasite's mind-control techniques have any effect on infected humans. Spurred by a couple of small studies of mentally ill patients that found links between suicide and T. gondii, Postolache and his colleagues put together a massive research project on 45,788 Danish women whose newborns had been screened for T. gondii antibodies between 1992 and 1995 (a positive result was a sure sign that mom was infected). About a quarter of the women had been infected at the time of delivery, the results revealed.

The researchers then combed through all of the women's later medical records for suicide attempts. They found a relatively small number, 517, had tried to kill themselves, with 78 of these women attempting violent methods such as guns, sharp instruments or jumping. Eighteen women in the sample succeeded at killing themselves, eight of whom had T. gondii infections.

A statistical analysis turned up a link between suicide attempts and parasite infection, such that an increasing number of T. gondii antibodies were linked with an increasing risk of attempts, especially violent attempts. When looking at just attempted suicides, researchers found women who were infected were 1.8 times more likely to attempt suicide by violent means than uninfected women.

The researchers were able to control for diagnoses of mental illness, meaning that infection was independently linked to suicide attempts, not just to mental health problems in general.

Suicide and parasites

More study will be needed to determine if the parasite somehow causes suicide attempts or self-harm, Postolache said.

"T. gondii infection is likely not a random event, and it is conceivable that the results could be alternatively explained by people with psychiatric disturbances having a higher risk of becoming T. gondii infected prior to contact with the health system," he said.

If the parasite is found to be a cause, the next mystery to unravel will be how, Postolache said. It could be that the parasite acts directly on the brain in a way that promotes mental illness. Or perhaps it triggers the immune system to attack the brain somehow. Either way, he said, infection by T. gondii isn't necessarily a mark of doom. For one thing, even with a 26 percent infection rate, the number of women in the study who attempted suicide was very small. For those who may be at risk, there may be treatments.

"If we can identify a causal relationship, we may be able to predict those at increased risk for attempting suicide and find ways to intervene," Postolache said.

This module examines the ways in which the practice of planning has been imagined, explained and justified. It addresses the ideological, political and ethical dimensions of planning practice using the lens of various theories of planning, power and urban development. It considers the distributional aspects of planning and a range of political and organisational rationalities that shape and constrain planning practice. The module aims to develop a strong constructive critique of planning practice, to engender greater reflexivity in students about the position of the planner in urban change. The module also provides broad theoretical frameworks which can guide the students’ dissertations in semester 2.

•       Introduction to the Module and the Assignment
•       What is theory for, what sets theories apart from each other, why use theory in research?
•       Positivism and rationalism

Teaching Rationale And Relationship

Through blended teaching and learning an overview of planning theory is provided which covers various schools of thoughts and their critiques. Examples from planning practice will help making links between theory and practice in planning.

The blended teaching and learning consists of a mixture of PiP if feasible, synchronous, and non-synchronous sessions consisting of: an introduction to the module and assignment; a range of lecture materials including: introductory talks to explain the portfolio of guided structured learning activities for each session, and how they relate to the module learning outcomes; recorded content blocks of 2 per session of 20 minutes each to cover the themes of the module; in-depth engagement through reading selected papers or watching short videos / listening to podcasts which will then be discussed as a cohort in a non-synchronous online discussion board facilitated by that session’s academic contributor; and in 4 PiP (if feasible and if not synchronous) workshops to learn more in- depth knowledge of planning theory and its application in planning practice. Also, 4 PiP (if feasible and if not synchronous) Q&A sessions will provide tutorial opportunity to answer questions about the lectures and the assignment and gain students’ feedback.

The recorded lecture materials will cover the themes mentioned in the syllabus. The PiP (if feasible and if not synchronous) workshops and the non-synchronous online discussion boards provide students with the opportunity to discuss and delve deeper into issues explored in the lecture materials and in the selected readings in a structured way, and to critically reflect on planning practice, with the support of independent reading. All activities aim to support and guide students in the preparation for assessed coursework. The Q&A sessions are offered to guide the students in their preparation for coursework.

Assessment Methods

The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners

Other Assessment
Description Semester When Set Percentage Comment
Essay1M100One individual essay of 3,000 words (excl references) which critically reviews / unpacks a theory and applies it to a planning case.
Assessment Rationale And Relationship

The essay tests the ability of the students to think creatively and critically about planning practice through using new theories and integrating these with knowledge introduced in earlier stages of the programme.

The assessment meets three key objectives:
1.       To prepare students to become aware of various planning thoughts and the political nature of planning
2.       To alert students to multiple perspectives on the what planning is and what it is for
3.       To encourage students to develop critical thinking and professional reflexivity

To complete the assessments, students will need to familiarize themselves with a planning theory and a case study of planning practice. They need to know the main features of that theory and be able to use it to assess the case study of planning practice. They also need to deploy their own critical thinking and argumentation skills to provide a robust and compelling assessment of their selected case.

Background
One of the generally accepted constructs of dengue pathogenesis is that clinical disease severity is at least partially dependent upon plasma viremia, yet data on plasma viremia in primary versus secondary infections and in relation to clinically relevant endpoints remain limited and contradictory.
Methods
Using a large database comprising detailed clinical and laboratory characterization of Vietnamese participants enrolled in a series of research studies executed over a 15-year period, we explored relationships between plasma viremia measured by RT-PCR and three clinically relevant endpoints - severe dengue, plasma leakage, and hospitalization - in the dengue-confirmed cases. All four dengue serotypes and both primary and secondary infections were well represented. In our logistic regression models we allowed for a non-linear effect of viremia, and for associations between viremia and outcome to differ by age, serotype, host immune status, and illness day at study enrolment.
Results
Among 5642 dengue-confirmed cases we identified 259 (4.6%) severe dengue cases, 701 (12.4%) patients with plasma leakage, and 1441/4008 (40.0%) patients recruited in outpatient settings who were subsequently hospitalized. From the early febrile phase onwards, higher viremia increased the risk of developing all three endpoints but effect sizes were modest (ORs ranging from 1.12-1.27 per 1-log increase) compared to the effects of a secondary immune response (ORs 1.67-7.76). The associations were consistent across age, serotype and immune status groups, and in the various sensitivity and subgroup analyses we undertook.
Conclusions
Higher plasma viremia is associated with increased dengue severity, regardless of serotype or immune status.

Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine 2000 for his discovery concerning signal transduction in the nervous system

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is not related to I.Q. Many children with AD/HD are quite talented with their own unique strengths. They simply need to learn how to better manage and regulate how they respond to situations physiologically, neurologically and psychologically, then they can maximise their true potential.

Residents of New Brighton are reminded that annual New Brighton Residents Association Fees are due as of April 1, 2021.  In these difficult economic times, the NBRA Board of Directors has developed a reasonable budget to reduce operating expenses where possible, while still providing high quality service to all New Brighton residents.  An increase will not be applied to annual fees for the 2021/2022 fiscal year.  It is also noteworthy that, although NBRA annual fees are due the first day of the fiscal year, which is April 1, 2021; residents have a 30 day grace period to settle their account.  Accounts paid on or after May 1, 2021 are subject to interest charges of prime plus 5% per annum and other charges related to the collection of these fees.

As a property owner in the Community of New Brighton you are a member of the New Brighton Residents Association (NBRA).  Benefits of your membership support facilities like the New Brighton Clubhouse, which is enjoyed by New Brighton residents throughout the year during facility rentals, programming, and special events.  Membership also permits the use of the NBRA Park amenities, which include: a hockey rink/basketball courts, a splash park/pleasure skating rink, tennis courts, a beach volleyball court, and a playground structure.  If you have yet to visit, the NBRA team encourages you to take advantage of using this multi-functional facility located in your backyard!  Other benefits of membership include discounted programming for all ages and interests, participation in special events, access to the New Brighton Connect website, and enhanced community maintenance in designated areas. The Association also owns and maintains the Bell Tower amenity, pond fountains, and decorative entry features.

The NBRA is a not-for-profit organization that manages assets owned by the Association, for the benefit of New Brighton residents. An encumbrance is registered on all property titles in New Brighton in favour of your Association to ensure annual payments are provided in accordance with the Articles of Association.

NBRA Reserve Fund

A Reserve Fund Study provides an inventory and 25-year estimated future replacement/repair costs for all property owned, managed, or otherwise the responsibility of an organization. Typically, the reserve fund is used for items that do not occur annually, as these be would be considered operating expenses. The replacement schedule in combination with the estimated costs is then used to recommend annual contribution levels to a reserve fund to cover future expenses. In June 2014, Clear Path Engineering was contracted to complete an extensive Reserve Fund Study to assist the NBRA in developing an effective plan to establish a reserve fund. Commencing the 2014/2015 fiscal year, the NBRA contributed the majority of their net cash surplus to establish a reserve fund. A second Reserve Fund Study was completed in February 2020, with the following recommended funding plan for the NBRA:

Fiscal Year Suggested Contribution
2021/2022 $100,000
2022/2023 $105,000
2023/2024 $110,250
2024/2025 $115,763
