a pioneering developer of Tibetan educational software
unveiled five new innovative stages as part of its ongoing technological journey at the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts (TIPA) here on Sunday
This year’s Monlam Manifest 2024 event drew a diverse audience of Tibetan IT enthusiasts
and community leaders eager to witness the latest innovations
featuring five major tools: Monlam Translate App
also known as the Tibetan Large Language Model (LLM)
These tools reflect the centre’s commitment to making the Tibetan language digitally accessible and empowering Tibetan-speaking communities to thrive in the global digital space
the visionary founder and CEO of the Monlam Tibetan IT Research Center
spoke of his hope for these tools to bridge technological gaps while preserving Tibetan identity
we are creating not only tools but a platform where the Tibetan language can thrive digitally,” he said
“Our language and culture can now be represented in ways that make it accessible globally while staying rooted in our traditions.”
The five tools aim to fulfill Monlam’s core aspirations by making the Tibetan language and knowledge more accessible in the digital world
The ‘Monlam Translate App’ enables seamless translation across voice
allowing users to translate Tibetan into English and other languages effortlessly
The ‘Monlam Web Extension’ further supports this goal by allowing Tibetan readers to browse the internet with real-time translations of complex concepts
thereby broadening access to educational resources. ‘Monlam Nyamrub’ (Collaboration) fosters community involvement by inviting Tibetan users to actively contribute to building Tibetan AI resources
creating a sense of ownership and participation in Tibetan digital progress
helping users communicate effectively and supporting digital literacy within the Tibetan community
the ‘Monlam Melong’(Tibetan Large Language Model
a key feature of Monlam’s recent developments
captures the richness of Tibetan language and culture
Designed to mirror Tibetan values and knowledge
it allows users to interact with AI in a way that generates text and answers questions
these tools represent Monlam’s commitment to bridging technological gaps while preserving Tibetan linguistic and cultural heritage
The event also celebrated Monlam’s accomplishments
highlighting that over 43 software applications have been developed under the centre’s guidance
with Geshe Monlam personally creating 37 of them
The Monlam Grand Dictionary alone has been accessed over 18 million times on iOS
with Android data expected to be even higher
the Monlam Grand Dictionary holds the distinction of being the largest dictionary in the world

In a city known for its vibrant and diverse community, Long Beach is now home to California’s first women’s sports bar, Watch Me! Sports Bar.
directly across from the 2ND & PCH shopping center
the bar’s goal is to celebrate the determination and achievements of women athletes and fans
With its official grand opening on July 26
which coincided with the start of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics
the bar attracted fans who were eager to experience this one-of-a-kind venue
The opening day was marked by enthusiastic crowds
many sporting jerseys and apparel of their favorite teams
as they enjoyed themed food and drink specials while watching the Olympic Games unfold on numerous TV screens
Sports Bar is rooted in a sense of empowerment and salute to women’s sports
a vision shared by co-owners Jackie “Jax” Diener and Megan “Emme” Eddy
Inspired by similar women-focused sports bars in cities like Portland
the pair set out to create a space where fans of women’s sports could gather
“We wanted to open a space where everyone could feel comfortable watching any sport they love, without judgment,” Diener said. “We saw what Jenny Nguyen did with The Sports Bar in Portland
laughs with Telemundo 52 Los Angeles’ Gordon Tokumatsu as the sports bar opens up on Aug
encouraging a communal atmosphere where conversations flow as easily as the drinks
Every seat in the house has a clear view of the numerous screens
each tuned to women’s sports events from around the world
Sports Bar ensures that the sound is always on for women’s games
making it clear that these athletes are the stars of the show
“We’re predominantly women’s sports
we’ll show the Dodgers for example,” Diener said
“But always have on the women’s games.”
Diener and Eddy’s choice of Long Beach as the location for the bar was both practical and personal
makes it accessible to a wide range of patrons who share a passion for women’s sports
and I think Long Beach is the perfect culture,” Diener said
“There’s a lot of athletes that have come from Long Beach and I just love it down here
The response from the community has been overwhelming with standing-room-only crowds during major events and a rapidly growing social media presence that has already garnered thousands of followers
“We’re the first in California. We’ve got to catch on at some point, and then it just took. It was actually NBC that came to us first
And after that aired all the other local news started coming out here
and then we just started picking up,” Diener said
keeping us relevant and sharing our content.”
Sports Bar smiles and talks with patrons as she helps the customers get set up before the women’s volleyball game begins
Long Beach natives Jody Wise and Karyl Anthony found out about the bar through a neighbor and everyone around them who were talking about the bar
“We came here when it first opened and it was super busy
“So seeing this puts a smile to our faces.”
The bar continues to grow as the owners have big plans for the future
including partnerships with local universities such as Long Beach State and hosting live podcasts with athletes and coaches
“We have a good partnership with coach Amy Wright for women’s basketball and coach Alyssa Waite for women’s golf
I consider them friends of ours and mine personally.” Diener said
“We’d love to have signage up in the Pyramid and we would like to have a strong relationship with the university
so we definitely wanted to partner wherever we can.”
Iron Maiden's Live After Death – one of the greatest live albums ever made – is currently available for a total steal
The heavy metal legends celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2025 with the Run For Your Lives tour - in which they will be performing classic songs from their first nine studio albums
Iron Maiden's Live After Death - arguably one of the best live albums ever recorded - is currently on sale as part of Amazon's Black Friday deals
Grab a copy of this classic while you still can
As singer Bruce Dickinson tells Classic Rock: “We’ll be presenting things in such a way that people will be blown away - not just by the music
Fans are already speculating about which songs will be in the setlist for the Run For Your Lives tour
but pretty much everyone agrees that they’ll have to play Run To The Hills
Running Free and the band’s calling card Iron Maiden
All of these classics are of course featured on Live After Death
The album was recorded on the band’s World Slavery Tour
a 13-month marathon which began in August 1984 and ended 331 days and 189 shows later in July 1985
The stage show was based on theme of ancient Egyptian mythology that inspired the title track and the cover of the band’s then-current studio album Powerslave
features and interviews direct to your inbox
A four-night stint at Long Beach Arena in Orange County
California in March 1985 would – along with earlier shows at London’s Hammersmith Odeon – provide the basis for the Live After Death album
As bassist Steve Harris told Classic Rock: “We wanted to record all of [Live After Death] from Hammersmith
but we ended up recording three sides from LA because by that time we were just playing that bit better.”
The World Slavery Tour helped turn Maiden into one of the biggest metal bands of the decade
The punishing tour schedule pushed the band members to their mental and physical limits
“That tour fried everybody,” Harris said
he had to get up and sing six nights a week for 13 months
It wasn’t like anyone twisted our arms
but perhaps we took on more than we could deal with.”
Bruce himself recalled: “At no point on the tour did we ever get to the point where anybody hated each other
Because we all realised what each of us was going through
and if someone threw a wobbler – which we all did at some point – it was
‘Shall we leave the room and let him wreck the place and come back later?’ Because everyone was going through it
“But it was the first time I really thought about leaving
I really felt like I was pretty much basket case material by the end of that tour
and I did not want to feel that way.”
If that tour was a test of human endurance
what came out of it was a legendary double-live album comparable to such classics as Deep Purple’s Made In Japan
Thin Lizzy’s Live And Dangerous and Kiss Alive
So if your old copy of Live After Death is worn out - or you've never heard this masterpiece - now’s the time to grab a copy

Metrics details
Assessment of risk factors of intestinal helminths and anaemia in various geographical regions is important for the development of appropriate control strategies
This study aimed at determining the risk factors associated with intestinal helminths and anaemia in Melong
A total of 325 participants were recruited in this study between September–December 2021
Faecal samples were examined using the formol-ether sedimentation technique while haemoglobin level was measured using a HemoCue spectrometer
Data on demographic and behavioural factors was collected and used to determine the risk factors using a pretested structured questionnaire and analysed using SPSS
The overall prevalence of intestinal helminths was 24.6% (80/325)
Helminths recovered from the study included hookworm (16%; 52/325)
Schistosoma mansoni (10.8% 35/325) Ascaris lumbricoides (1.9%; 6/325)
and Trichuris trichiura (0.6%; 2/325) with 15 participants having multiple infections (4.6%)
The geometric mean egg density was 77epg and ranged from 20 to 560 epg of faeces
Males and age group ≤ 5 years had the highest parasite intensity (248epg)
The overall prevalence of anaemia was 33.5% (109/325)
Anaemia was significantly (p = 0.001) high at 48.8% (39/80) in those infected with intestinal parasites compared to non-infected individuals
Age group of 31–45 years; [3.42(1.05–11.21)] and > 65 years [6.21(1.75–12.47)]
and participants who did not have stomach/abdominal pains [0.22(0.07–0.67)] were significant predictors of helminth infections
mansoni [1.72 (1.16–3.41)] and those with multiple infections [1.76(1.04–2.88)] were identified as risk factors for anaemia
Risk factors identified in this study can be used to improve the control mechanism put in place by the government
intestinal schistosomiasis which is caused by Schistosoma species (S
mekongi) is a water-transmitted helminth and infects humans by penetrating the skin actively when a man comes in contact with water infested with schistosome cercariae
we investigated the prevalence and associated risk factors of intestinal helminthiasis
in a semi-urban area in the Littoral region of Cameroon that acts as a crossroad where passengers stop to eat or buy different foodstuff (fruits
Like any other deprived area in the country
lack of access to improved sanitation facilities and poor hygienic behaviour characterizes the study area

Ethical clearance for the study was obtained from the university of Bamenda ethical committee (2021/100H/UBa/IRB)
Participants who were 18 years and above were recruited after signing the informed consent while consent forms for minors (participants less than 18 years) were signed by the guardians or parents
All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations of the ethical review board
All inhabitants of Melong irrespective of their ages and gender were eligible to participate in the study
all those with a recent history of antihelminthic treatment (taken two months before the study)
and those who were severely sick were excluded from the study
The minimum estimated size was calculated to be 192 participants using the Lorenz formula below;
Sociodemographic data was collected using a pretested structured questionnaire from participants and this was used to determine the risk factors
Only participants who could either read or write and understood the questions in the questionnaire were considered for the risk factor
Those who could not read or write but understood the questions were assisted by the researchers to fill out the questionnaire
The questionnaire assessed information on methods of transmission
It also evaluated personal habits with respect to prevention and control methods
Any correct answer was considered as 1 point and any wrong answer was considered as 0
The total score for knowledge and prevention of anaemia was 25 and 10 points respectively
Participants who scored 13 and above for knowledge and 5 and above for anaemia prevention were considered as good knowledge
Haemoglobin (Hb) concentration was determined using a HemoCue analyser (Hemocue HB 301 analyzer
Data were entered in an Excel spreadsheet and was anonymised
Statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 (Chicago
and education were determined using the chi-square test
Mean differences were determined using student t-tests when comparing the means of two groups and ANOVA when comparing the means of more than two groups
While Mann–Whitney U-test was used for geometric mean egg density
Univariate and multivariate analysis was used to explore the relationship between predictors and outcomes of intestinal helminth infections and anaemia
P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant
Prevalence of the various species of intestinal helminths in the study area
Occupational-related prevalence showed that the most infected profession was traders (39.1%, 15/47), and the least was seen in civil servants (10.0%, 1/10) as shown in Table 2
traders recorded the highest prevalence of all the different parasites identified
These differences were not significant (p > 0.05).
The geometric mean egg density was 77epg and ranged from 20 to 560epg of faeces. Males had an insignificant (p = 0.779) higher intensity (86 epg) of infection than females as shown in Table 3
Age-related intensity of infection showed that the highest load (540 epg) was in the ≤ 5 years age group and the least parasitic load (20epg) was in the 15–30 years age group
mansoni recorded the highest disease burden
age and sex-related geometric mean egg density (GMED) showed no significant difference (p > 0.05)
Results from the present study revealed that 33.5% (109/325) of the total participants presented with anaemia. The majority 62(19.1%) of the participants had mild anaemia while only 0.6% (2/325) showed severe anaemia (Fig. 3).
Assessing anaemia prevalence within the study population
The prevalence of anaemia was significantly higher in those who had one or more parasites (48.8%, 39/80: p = 0.001) compared to those that were negative (Fig. 4).
Assessing anaemia prevalence between infected and non-infected participants
The mean (± SD) of haemoglobin was 12.87(± 1.89) g/dl and ranged from 6 to 14.8 g/dl. The mean ± SD of haemoglobin was significantly lower in participants who were infected (12.10 ± 1.8, p = 0.0001) compared to their negative counterparts (13.63 ± 1.9 g/dl). In Table 4
the mean haemoglobin level was highest among participants infected with A
lumbricoides (12.6 g/dl) and least in patients infected with hookworm (11.7 g/dl)
this difference was not significant (p = 0.614)
Out of the 39 infected participants who were anaemic
23.1% (9/39) of them had multiple infections while 76.9% (30/39) had single infections
Anaemia was significantly higher amongst patients infected with hookworm (53.8%
28/52: p < 0.05) and lowest in those with T
All cases of severe anaemia were reported from participants infected with intestinal helminths
Risk factors were evaluated in 268(82.5%) participants who could either read or write and understood the questions on the questionnaire
In the socio-demographic bivariate analysis
our data revealed that the prevalence of intestinal helminths was significantly highest in older subjects ≥ 65 years (35.0%
14/40: p = 0.045) and insignificantly higher in females (25.7%
those who did not go to school 6(40.0%; 6/15)
traders (31.9%; 15/47) and those who were married 33(31.43%; 33/105)
Assessing knowledge of participants and their influence on living habits showed that those who had poor knowledge of the parasites had a higher prevalence of 27.8% (55/198)
those who did not usually deworm after 3 months 29.9% (60/201)
participants who used toilet made of sticks 64.0% (16/25)
and participants who eat roadside food 45(25.4%) all had significantly higher prevalence (p > 0.05)
participants who sometimes washed their fruits or vegetable had a prevalence of 37.2% (15/40)
those who do not wash their hands after the toilet 6(35.3%)
those that walk barefoot at times 8(26.7%) recorded the highest prevalence though it was insignificant (p > 0.05)
Considering some common clinical symptoms within the past 3 months
parasitic infections were significantly (p = 0.022) higher (55; 28.1%) in patients without stomach or abdominal pains and significantly (p = 0.003) higher (27
Studying infection prevalence and morbidity of intestinal helminths and associated predictors of risk factors is a primary objective to identify high-risk communities and select appropriate intervention mechanisms
This study aimed to determine the prevalence
and risk factors due to intestinal helminths in a cross-section of the population of Melong which is a rural area
a place where travellers stop to buy food and fruits and also ease themselves before they continue their journey
The results of this study showed that the overall prevalence of intestinal helminths was 24.6%
This might probably be because Melong is a crossroad where passengers from the Northwest
eat and buy items thereby urinating and defecating around the environment which is a common practice especially at night
Equally most inhabitants of Melong being a rural setting depend on streams
and wells for their daily domestic water supply
thus increasing their chances of getting infected
the hot and humid climate of Melong accompanied by poor sanitation might also be associated with the infection rate
This Climate favours the snail vectors reproduction and the hatching of hookworm and Trichuris eggs
These differences might also be due to differences in socio-economic conditions of the study population and individual behavioural habits
and environmental conditions such as humidity
and lack of sensitivity to diagnostic methods of the different intestinal helminths
These findings might indicate a need for epidemiological updates on S
mansoni in the Littoral region of Cameroon
An overall co-infection prevalence of 4.6% was recorded in this study
Higher co-infection rates have been reported with Ascaris lumbricoides and hookworm co-infection being the most common
Multi-parasitic infections are usually common because most parasites share similar transmission routes which are also associated with the level of environmental contamination
lack of knowledge of the parasitic infections
the lack of knowledge about the disease was also a predictor of infection
This could be a result of cultural differences whereby in the western region
farming activities are being carried out mostly by males
resulting in their high vulnerability to infections
This also accounts for the high anaemia prevalence among the younger age group seen in this study
which showed that most control programmes for schistosomiasis and STH infections often target school-age children only
leaving out the rest of the community members who are equally infected and may act as reservoirs for transmission and a source of re-infection to the school-age children
we found out that the use of mud floors and toilets made of sticks
and those who presented with stomach or abdominal pains increased the risk of infection with intestinal parasitic infection
All these factors are very crucial contributing factors to the transmission of helminths in any given location
Stomach or abdominal pains is a common symptom associated with intestinal helminths
A high prevalence seen in those who presented with stomach or abdominal discomfort accentuates the fact that intestinal helminths are known to cause abdominal and stomach pains
The difference can be attributed to the different study populations as well as the sensitivity of the techniques used in the determination of haemoglobin levels
The high prevalence of anaemia in parasitic infections is associated with blood loss leading to iron deficiency anaemia
Hookworms reside in the small intestines of infected individuals where they attach themselves to the villi and feed on host blood
the lateral spines in the eggs of schistosomes are responsible for piecing the intestinal walls this causing blood loss in infected individuals
Hookworms ingest blood and damage the intestinal wall causing bleeding thus contributing to anaemia by causing blood loss directly through ingestion and mechanical damage of the mucosa
by affecting the supply of nutrients necessary for erythropoiesis thus accounting for the highest prevalence in hookworm infested participants
mansoni is due to the spines of schistosomes that pierce and wound infected individuals thereby causing blood to flow out through the wounds resulting in anaemia
Lack of Knowledge though not identified as a risk factor is a call for concern as it is a major reason why people don’t use complementary health approaches observed in the study
since illiterates recorded the highest prevalence of helminths and anaemia
suggesting that community education needs to be intensified in the study area
This study revealed a significant burden of gastrointestinal parasites and anaemia in a rural community of Melong-Cameroon
mansoni infections were shown to be significantly associated with anaemia
detection of helminth infections and haemoglobin levels should be done simultaneously to minimize the risk of anaemia in infected participants
We recommend improved health education and awareness relating to hygienic practices
and a supply of pipe-borne water to help decrease these parasitic infections in endemic communities
Regular deworming should be encouraged by the government for both adults and children
The study identified for the first time risk factors associated with helminthiasis and anemia in Melong Littoral Region of Cameroon
These factors will be used by policymakers to implement preventive methods that will be beneficial to the inhabitants of Melong
The relative abundance and transmission dynamic on snails was not done to determine if the vectors are available in the study area
we could not assess other factors associated with anemia
Identification of different vectors of schistosomiasis should be carried out in the study area
Secondly other factors such as nutritional status
and diagnosis of other pathogens (bacteria
etc.) associated with anaemia should be carried out in this area

Long-Covid hasn’t gone away — and thousands of people across the country are still dealing with the condition
five years on from the initial outbreak of the pandemic in Ireland
originally from Co Meath but living in Dublin
founded Long-Covid Ireland in the midst of the Covid pandemic
In the immediate aftermath of recovering from the Covid which she contracted in March 2020
Ms Twomey attempted to return to her job in the social care sector
she felt forced to quit her job at the end of 2022
Not all employers are supportive of those suffering from long- Covid
she said — and while her GP was “wonderful”
she believes many medics at hospitals she attended were not understanding of her condition
“I was told by the hospital doctors that it was all in my head
I was offered anti-depressants by one hospital doctor — and that was a common response to people with long-Covid during the pandemic
in the medical community and in society generally
“The reality was I wasn’t sick because I was depressed
I was sick because of physical symptoms — extreme fatigue being the most serious for me.”
One “gift” to come out of her medical condition was changing her profession and training to become an ADHD coach before setting up her own private practice
“Training and becoming an ADHD coach was the gift I got out of all of this
“Many other people with long- Covid did not have that luxury
they had young children and mortgages to be paid
“There was a lack of understanding what we were going through during the pandemic; there was a lot of gaslighting
in the medical community and society generally — sometimes from employers too
there is now more acceptance about long-Covid.”
Ms Twomey said it took around three years for her health to significantly improve
and people are still joining the group she set up
which had 2,500 members on its Facebook page while the country was still grappling with the virus
was set up to provide support for people in the absence of support from the State
“There are still people joining the Facebook group
Some people are still getting it in more recent times
while other people are taking a significant amount of time to realise that they have it
“People are still looking for help and support
and there are still people out of work in this country
“There is a greater understanding now of what it is
There is a lot of medical research going on but there’s still no medical answer in terms of treatment.”
She said on a “day-to-day basis” she is recovered
but still has to be very careful of her lifestyle and “know her limits” as fatigue can still be a major concern
Claire was very healthy and active before she contracted Covid but she has still not been able to return to her full lifestyle
“I haven’t had any hospital appointments for a few months
but some of the more recent issues have been migraines and tinnitus
I have a great life and I can manage my life
But I still have to manage my social activities
I’ll end up on the couch for a couple of days
“I’m also not back to being able to do what I used to do
If I tried now to be as active as I used be
“I wasn’t a big drinker but I would have a high alcohol intolerance now
I do miss out on things and that disappoints me
but my close friends and family are very understanding
and for thousands of people like me — I just don’t know
if for example I was to try and become a mother.”

Second European Programme of Work
a vicar from Oxford in the United Kingdom (UK) was feeling distinctly lousy
He’d caught COVID-19 several weeks earlier and although initially he had only mild symptoms
“The fatigue had become just unbelievable
I was suffering from horrendous breathlessness
waking up every morning with an overwhelming sense of dread
I’ve had anxiety and depression in the past – and had medication for it – but this was way
way beyond anything I’d ever experienced before.”
There’s never a good time to feel ill
but for Bossward the timing could not have been much worse
“The run-up to Christmas is understandably one of the busiest times of year for me
The difficulty with my work is that it’s like living over your shop; the vicarage is right next door to the church
so it’s very hard to take any time off and people rely on you so much.”
even though the symptoms didn’t let up – and if anything
“People need to talk to me about things like weddings
christenings and funerals and so it was almost impossible for me to take time off
It’s partly my personality too – I just didn’t want to let other people down.”
Eric went to see his doctor the following month
suspecting that he might have post COVID-19 condition
Although no other cause for his symptoms could be determined
could not formally make a diagnosis for long COVID until 12 weeks had passed since Bossward had been given the all-clear from his original infection
meaning he had a further month before he could be referred for specialist support
“My family and congregation were very concerned about me
I just wasn’t myself – I’d almost become a different person
running every day and competing in half marathons
The brain fog was so bad that I thought I might have dementia
My mental health really took a hit too.”
Eric’s doctor was able to refer him to the Oxford Post COVID Assessment Clinic
which had been open for a year and offered a multidisciplinary approach to investigating and managing long COVID symptoms
so isolated with my condition and felt like nobody understood what was wrong with me
or imagining it; they understood that what I had was real.”
Bossward relates how the information he received from the clinic team was invaluable
not just allowing him to get a handle on what he was dealing with
but also to give him the strategies for dealing with different aspects of his condition
“The first couple of times I came to the clinic
knowing that I wasn’t going mad and that things were being done to help me get better
The staff had the time to listen to me and were incredibly empathetic
They taught me techniques to pace what I was doing
making me understand that I needed to conserve energy to prevent the onset of debilitating fatigue.”
A year and a half on from his original COVID-19 infection
though he admits that a second COVID-19 infection in December 2022 did set him back temporarily
“I’ve managed to get back to running in the last fortnight – only 1.5 km at any one go
which is pretty rubbish compared to what I used to be doing
but it’s a start and feels like progress
and I don’t wake up feeling so anxious
I’m still very aware that I need to pace myself throughout the day
but the clinic has taught me that this is all likely to be temporary and that by doing the right things
I can recover to the point where I can do the activities I want to be able to do.”
Bossward has only good things to say about the support he’s received from the Oxford Post COVID Assessment Clinic and praises their holistic approach to dealing with the physical
mental and emotional health impacts of the condition
as well as their collaborations with other relevant organizations and services
the Clinic suggested I get in touch with the English National Opera company
which organizes online singing and breathing sessions especially for long COVID patients
Not only did the sessions really help with my breathing
but they relieved my anxiety and gave me the chance to meet with other people in the same position
and it was a real turning point for me thinking ‘Yes
It frustrates Bossward that even after all this time
the wider public still don’t recognize the threat to their health that long COVID poses
“People need to recognize how severe the effects of long COVID can be
If you can do anything to protect yourself from getting COVID-19 in the first place and so avoid the risk of it developing into long COVID
then my message would be to definitely do it.”
defined as the continuation or development of new symptoms 3 months after the initial infection
with these symptoms lasting for at least 2 months with no other explanation
Long COVID can develop in people of all ages
regardless of severity of original symptoms
It is also known that the chance of developing the condition increases the more times a person gets reinfected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus
According to estimates from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington in Seattle
nearly 36 million people across the WHO European Region may have experienced long COVID in the first 3 years of the pandemic
That means approximately 1 in 30 Europeans may have been affected.
WHO/Europe continues to work in partnership with the advocacy group Long-COVID Europe and other organizations such as Long Covid Kids to ensure that the voices of those living with long COVID are reflected in guidance and information

Louis Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley is unsure what the future holds for him after a recent conversation with the organization concerning trade rumors
"They say they love having me here in St. Louis. With the way things have gone this last year, they like me where I'm at (financially), but they don't know if they want to keep me long term," the closer told MLB.com's John Denton
that's something that is going to have to be talked about
I know and they know this will be something that has to be decided from a business standpoint."
Helsley has been mentioned in trade rumors this winter after a 49-save campaign earned him National League Reliever of the Year honors for the Cardinals in 2024
The 30-year-old is expected to receive a big jump in salary because of his success
The Cardinals are expected to reduce payroll and focus on their young core with Chaim Bloom taking over as president of baseball operations following the 2025 season
Helsley has been one of baseball's top relievers since 2022
He's amassed the second-most reliever fWAR (5.8) during that span
Plus new ray tracing trailers for Minecraft and Watch Dogs Legions
if only because it's a new "max settings 4K trailer" showing CD Projekt Red's upcoming RPG at its very best
their 8K Titan-grade GPU that's complete overkill and could probably double up as an actual in-game weapon because it's so damn large
It's not clear from the trailer, but whatever RTX 30 card they've used, it's almost certainly using their performance-enhancing DLSS tech to achieve the kinds of speeds you see in the trailer, which I'd imagine is going to be pretty much mandatory given all the ray tracing effects it's using
Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will also be getting ray tracing and DLSS support when it comes out later this year, and you can see its new ray tracing gameplay trailer below. It's still pretty subtle, but at least they haven't felt the need to put giant green squares around the ray tracing bits this time
so at least that's a turn up for the books
Nvidia haven't yet gone into detail about exactly what kind of ray tracing effects Cold War will have - only that they're working with Treyarch
Raven and Beenox to bring it to the game following their work on ray traced shadows in last year's Modern Warfare
at least it's getting DLSS 2.0 support as well to help bump up those frame rates regardless
As for Minecraft, Nvidia are releasing two new ray traced worlds for free, which you can see in the trailer below. The first is Portal Pioneers RTX by Cyclone Designs
an NPC robot companion and several different biomes that make the most of Minecraft's ray tracing effects
and the second is Fins n' Flippers by Razzleberries
which sees you restoring an abandoned aquarium on a huge island
Finally, there's ye olde Watch Dogs Legions, which is also being bundled in for free with all RTX 30 cards from September 17th until October 29th
You can see its new 'Welcome to London' trailer below
Nvidia confirmed that Watch Dogs Legion will also be getting DLSS support last night
as well as a fancy DLSS Ultra Performance mode for playing the game on 8K TVs
if you happen to be one of three people with enough cash to buy both the £1399 / $1499 RTX 3090 and one of LG's £3000 / $4000 8K OLED TVs
while the Ultra Performance mode will be pretty much useless to the likes of you and me
I'm glad it's getting regular DLSS support
if only so our creaking RTX 20 cards can play it at a decent speed when it comes out next month
For a reminder of all the other games that can make the most of Nvidia's fancy new RTX 30 cards, I've gathered together all the confirmed ray tracing and DLSS games right here

Our lives are very much centred around music
but we need to take time to focus on our own singing and singing with people who have similar styles
I think for us to come together as a group and get to share this together is kind of special,” said Holten-Melong
having been put together after Holten-Melong was approached by the Ship Hector 250 organizers
asking if she could put a musical group together
Brenna and Jody were the ones who came to my mind because we’ve all had similar backgrounds in our vocal development
so that was the reason we first came together
After performing during the Ship Hector 250 celebrations
“I’m looking forward to singing with two people I know are in the same phase of life as I am
We’re just going to create a pretty Christmas-y vibe and enjoy making harmonies,” said Conrad
All three singers are classically trained performers
something Holten-Melong said isn’t something you always hear when it comes to Celtic music
“I think that’s what sort of makes our group intriguing in a way to that to listeners
and what they appreciate is that we often hear a lot of Celtic music in the Maritimes and in our area especially
but to hear classically trained singers perform those songs
it just feels presented in a different way
which I think really was drawn drew people to our group when they first heard us,” Holten-Melong said
Having the opportunity to perform Celtic music and be part of the revival of the sound throughout Pictou County has been a big thing for the group
that traditional Celtic kind of feel is how we got started,” said Miller
whenever I see a lot of Celtic celebrations
Conrad added that all three have left home to study music
and returning to perform in such a supportive community has helped her appreciate the Celtic sound more
“It’s kind of like coming home and bringing what you learned and singing it with the music that you love the most and grew up with,” Conrad added

soundworks and sculptures are haunted by historical pain
fizzing with colour – and too polite by far
They spend 21 years telling you figurative painting is dead: 21 years of film projections
Then they give an old-school figurative painter a retrospective and tell us this is what modern looks like now
Read moreThe sound work, so early on, seems intended to reassure us that Himid fits perfectly well into Tate Modern. But she’s no more modern than David Hockney – although he’s very modern, in his way. The comparison is not random. When Himid started her art life in the 1980s, it appears, she was a huge Hockney fan. His influence is visible in early paintings such as Ankledeep (1991)
with its two pairs of naked feet resting on a splashy spume of blue and white brushstrokes straight out of one of his early 1960s pictures
It turns out to be an expression of Himid’s fascination with narrative painting
taking its name from a French slaving ship
a visual story told across multiple images
Le Rodeur: The Cabin is particularly Hogarthian
where a musician in 18th-century costume plays fife and drum while a waiter brings on a jelly
The crew of Le Rodeur threw 36 shackled west Africans overboard in 1819
Himid’s paintings don’t rage at this incident
Instead it is a dull ache in the background
a fact her characters might be evading or silently brooding about
If this was a play it would be full of pauses
“What is a monument?” asks Himid in a painted text beside a collection of pots
Her art deals with memory yet in an oddly meandering way
Historical pain haunts it but the sedate figures and upbeat colours maintain their composure
View image in fullscreenShot through with lacings of blue ..
The gap between the political and historical themes of Himid’s art and its elegance could be highly effective
meaning gets reduced to a thin thread of allegory
I get that the sea in all the scenes of Le Rodeur is sinister
Yet you won’t see that from the actual images
There are also paintings of utopian buildings, of carpets and near-abstract patterns. Himid enjoys her colours. A sound work keeps repeating the word “blue” in different languages, in a room filled with constructivist arrangements of musical instruments, newspaper (this one) and book covers
View image in fullscreenWhat is a Monument
Photograph: © Lubaina HimidAs a colourist she fizzes
but as a painter of people and places she’s too damn vague
stylishly clad groups meeting in bars or living rooms
but each detail is like a quote of a quote
If Tate Modern thinks painting is now modern
it needs to give some thought to why some paintings are just decorative
There’s nothing here to show why this particular skilled and idiosyncratic
but not especially earth-shaking painter belongs in Tate Modern when others of her generation have to be grateful for a show at the less glamorous Tate Britain
I have always wondered what this museum means by “modern”
and if the wind blows towards painting then let it not be said that Tate Modern does not also blow
Lubaina Himid is at Tate Modern, London
Jan04’19) – A cave dwelling containing delicate stone tools and pottery shards believed to be at least 4,000 years old was unearthed in Ngari Prefecture in the westernmost part of Tibet
reported China’s official Xinhua news agency Jan 3
consisted of two caves measuring 1,000 square metres and 250 square metres respectively and was located at about 4,600 metres above sea level
The report called it the first prehistoric cave site confirmed on the Tibetan Plateau
The report cited archaeologist He Wei as saying that apart from abundant cultural relics and animal bones
ochre rock paintings composed of geometric patterns
human figures and palms and the sun were also found
The excavation was stated to have been carried out by a joint archaeological team from the Tibet autonomous regional cultural relics conservation institute and the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was to continue in 2019
The report cited archaeologists as saying the discovery shed light on human activities

Joker: Folie à Deux is the sequel to Joker (2019)
and you have to admire Todd Phillips for returning with a jukebox musical

I don’t blame Joaquin Phoenix; no one has worked harder at trying to sing since Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia!
He deserves some recognition for that – although whether acting as if you are in tune is enough to secure a second Oscar
The first film was intended to be a standalone venture
but after it went on to make a billion at the box office and Phoenix won the Oscar for best actor
back with a character who is a million miles from the television Joker of our childhoods
who cackled riotously and did not go on violent killing sprees – but could turn water into jelly
This Joker (real name Arthur Fleck) is bleak
desperate for attention and driven to commit terrible acts
He is a combination of Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver and Rupert Pupkin from The King of Comedy
And now Phillips has run out of Scorsese films to rip off he doesn’t seem to know where to go

Significant improvement in the diagnosis and care of myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and Long COVID is urgently needed across NHS and social care services
The University of Exeter has created an independent report published in BMJ Open based on the findings from a 2023 survey conducted by the ME Association called Count ME In
respondents reported significant delays in the diagnosis of ME and Long COVID
and a need for improved self-management resources and better-coordinated care
Many participants also reported dissatisfaction with NHS experiences
with only 6.9 per cent of those with ME and 14.4 per cent of those with Long COVID rating their experience as good-to-excellent
Many of those said they faced significant delays in diagnosis
with some diagnosed after more than 10 years
and the majority (70 per cent) reported moderate-to-severe impacts on their lifestyles which required substantial changes to their daily activities
Professor Helen Dawes from the University of Exeter Medical School said: "We see parallels between the experiences of ME and Long COVID patients
and our report indicates a need for improved support and timely diagnosis of these conditions
as well as education for health professionals
It's important that patients with ME and Long COVID have access to a range of specialist services and self-management strategies to enhance their care
digital health solutions may also offer new opportunities to support earlier diagnosis
empower patients in managing their conditions
Results also indicate there hasn't been any noticeable improvement in NHS or social care support or service provision since publication of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guideline on ME
72 per cent were aware of the NICE Guideline
but 65 per cent stated they had not noticed a difference in healthcare support
35 per cent of those with Long Covid were aware of the NICE Rapid Guideline
but 66 per cent stated that they had not noticed a difference in healthcare support
is a complex multi-systemic disease involving the brain
immune and neuroendocrine (hormone producing) systems and is classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a neurological disease
The key diagnostic symptoms are debilitating activity-induced fatigue
and post exertional malaise – where there is a delayed exacerbation of symptoms that can follow even minor physical or mental activity
so management aims to reduce symptoms where possible
around 10 per cent of people remain unwell for months with symptoms such as persistent fatigue
and breathlessness - although there is a wide range of other problems
Long COVID is when these symptoms persist for three or more months after the initial COVID-19 infection
This new report highlights the findings from the largest UK survey on symptoms
and management of people with ME and Long COVID ever conducted by The ME Association
10,458 people from across the UK responded to the online survey
with 8,804 confirming that they or a close friend or family member had ME or Long COVID
Most respondents were female (83.4 per cent)
Recommendations for improvement involve enhancing access to NHS and social care services and closer alignment with NICE Guidelines on ME and Long COVID
Trustee and Campaigns Director at The ME Association
said: "We're delighted this independent report has been published and it's also very timely
as publication coincides with the government's upcoming Delivery Plan on ME and chronic fatigue syndrome
The plan from the Department of Health and Social Care aims to improve attitudes
and boost research into the cause and treatment of the condition
As the information in this report is very relevant to the Delivery Plan
a copy has been sent to Ashley Dalton – the minister now overseeing the final stages of preparation
these results will help in our efforts to educate and inform professionals who can improve the quality of life for people affected by ME and Long COVID."
The report acknowledges potential biases in self-reporting and that the sample may overrepresent individuals who are more engaged with patient advocacy groups or have access to online platforms
potentially excluding those with limited internet access or differing healthcare experiences
Researchers recommend future research should focus on developing diagnostic measures and interventions for effective symptom management

According to Nick Melong, co-owner of Blue Sky Docks in North Bay
enjoying summer on a lake in Northern Ontario is a dream come true for many people
There's nothing else that compares to the region’s breathtaking views
But Melong wants you to know this– an important aspect of making the most out of your lakefront living experience is investing in a high-quality dock
“Life at the lake is a shared experience,” Melong said
“It means so many things to so many people
but it all revolves around the water.”
when the ice first starts receding from the lake
and camp owners’ talk turns to counting the days before they can drop their docks back into the water
“Those first days of the melt are like a big community event
it’s something we all share and talk about incessantly,” Melong said
adding that some people even place friendly bets on what day the last of the ice will melt
with the loser having to take the first dip
It’s moments like these – true Northern scenes – that Melong says people at his company connect with
Both Melong and his partner Kyle are northerners
“I like to think we have a really good grasp on how people live near the lake,” Melong said
and all the work and maintenance that comes along with those things.”
“We try to get people set up with things that will work for as many years as possible.”
That’s where Blue Sky Docks comes in
offering custom-built aluminium boat docks designed to turn summertime dreams into reality
Blue Sky Docks take pride in their products
created from 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy for lightweight sturdiness and resistance to rust and corrosion
The easily-removable panels come in various decking materials like cedar
The docks are also designed to be user-friendly
two reasonably able-bodied people can remove these docks systems without any struggle whatsoever,” Melong said
“The deck panels can be easily removed from the frames
these low-maintenance docks guarantee years of enjoyment at your cottage or lake-house
my parents fighting with old dilapidated docks and it was always a big stress to get the docks in and out each season” he said
“And I just don't think it should have to be so hard.”
well-thought out designs and a good product
What also sets Blue Sky apart from their competition is their ability to adapt to rocky edges or jagged shorelines
and their dock systems should be just as unique
“We've put out docks in tidal conditions on Georgian Bay
and we've had systems out on Simcoe that regularly get hit by eight foot tall waves,” Melong said
They also routinely deliver to rural and hard-to-access areas
where Melong’s skills as a custom designer are often put to the test
bolting systems into bedrock and building custom brackets are the norm
“We really find that in almost every situation
there's something added by having a more comprehensive
and more personalized service,” he said
also got on board with Blue Sky Docks’ custom designs
Melong said his company was selected to outfit the township with its brand new pier and dock system near Centennial Park
“The docks were put out last at the end of last season,” Melong said
and I'll be open to the public soon.”
Blue Sky has also added a new offering to their slate of services
As of this year they will be offering cable-driven boat lifts specifically for PWC’s and pontoon boats
With demand for customized docks nearly doubling over the last two years
moving into a larger facility at 811 Jet Avenue to accommodate the new orders
Melong said he just wants customers to know that as Northerners
the team at Blue Sky Docks are looking out for their neighbours
“You can go and buy kit docs and similar products at similar prices
But they don't come with any sort of insight into how those products will work for you or with any extra care or diligence from the sellers,” Melong said
it’s up to you to figure out..”
“But that’s not how we do things
we take care of it all the way through until it stops being useful
