(Beirut) – Egyptian authorities intensified their repression of peaceful government critics and ordinary people during 2020, virtually obliterating any space for peaceful assembly, association or expression, Human Rights Watch said today in its World Report 2021
with a ban on prison visits from March to August without alternative means of communication
including at least 14 apparently due to Covid-19
“Ten years after Egyptians ousted Hosni Mubarak, they now live under the harsher, suffocating security grip of President al-Sisi’s government,” said Amr Magdi
Middle East and North Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch
Roth emphasizes that even as the Trump administration mostly abandoned the protection of human rights
other governments stepped forward to champion rights
The Biden administration should seek to join
the authorities arrested over 1,000 protesters
and bystanders in response to small but widespread protests across the country
The Egyptian #MeToo movement became re-energized in June, as victims and survivors of sexual violence posted their accounts online. In response, the authorities carried out an extensive campaign of arrests and prosecutions against women social media influencers
in violation of their rights to privacy and freedom of expression
the NSA arrested four witnesses to a high-profile 2014 gang rape case and two of their acquaintances on abusive charges including “inciting debauchery,” after the authorities had encouraged them to come forward
The authorities continued to widely use the death penalty
including 25 convicted for alleged involvement in political violence in mass trials that greatly violated due process
the Egyptian military demolished thousands of homes
forcibly evicting residents without fair compensations or judicial recourse
and denied access to journalists and other independent observers

These are the lyrics of the song "Silence". Rapper Londan Londaneze (Danilo Đurić from Osojan) painted through lyrics and sharp criticism the position of Serbs in Kosovo
He is in an interview for Radio Goraždevac said that young people from Kosovo should emulate those who fight for their rights and not allow others to shape their opinion
Regarding the lines at the beginning of this text
he says that although the song was not written "yesterday"
it seems as if it was because it refers to everything that is happening now
but in the song I am talking about our responsibility - the people who live here." We elected political representatives once
The rapper indicated in the interview that his goal was to appeal to ordinary people
"We have been witnessing the situation in Kosovo for years - we are constantly facing Belgrade
Although I think we should be directed towards Belgrade
if it is constantly working against our interests
we have to ask ourselves where all this is going."
He added that it had become tiresome to constantly hear how they were blackmailed and powerless
at some point we will disappear." There must come a moment when we say - enough
He said that people in Kosovo are too passive
but that the protests in central Serbia somehow moved them too
"We saw that students in Mitrovica and Zubin Potok started organizing meetings and commemorations for the victims
That gave me a glimmer of hope that something can change after all"
Serbian students repeated a hundred times that this is a marathon
Similar to Adam Mihnjik in the eighties in Poland
The government in Serbia is on the way to the end - you just need to be patient
With the inclusivity created at the plenums
students should continue during election engagement
including the opposition at some point - whatever it may be

But the LP version of last year’s Vampirska Kakofonija (on GoatowaRex) showed Obskuritatem moving toward a more direct
as if the spirit controlling them has grown rapidly stronger
Obskuritatem return with seven new tracks of monstrous black metal and haunting dark ambient
Available next week on CD and tape from Black Gangrene
from the first song (second track) bares its hideous fangs and comes flying straight for your neck
The days of a passive and creeping Obskuritatem are apparently usurped by a new and violent malice
There is a ferocious and living drummer in the midst of these songs
and while it sounds like it’s likely the same drummer that played on VK
the production on U Kraljevstvu Mrtvih does their sadistic talents more justice
But enough spoilers regarding those other six tracks
Here’s what you came for: Track 5 from the new Obskuritatem album
Get U Kraljevstvu Mrtvih on CD and tape from Black Gangrene Prod. next Friday, November 10th.

If you hear a ringing sound in your ears, it may be tinnitus. Tinnitus isn’t a disorder or condition. It’s a symptom of a bigger problem like Meniere’s disease
which is usually related to the inside of your inner ear
More than 45 million Americans live with tinnitus
The supplement Lipo-Flavonoid has been promoted to treat this health problem
Yet there is a lack of evidence showing that it helps
Read on to learn more about Lipo-Flavonoid
and other treatments that have a better track record
Lipo-Flavonoid is an over-the-counter supplement that contains ingredients like vitamins B-3
Its main active ingredient is a proprietary blend that includes eriodictyol glycoside
which is the fancy word for a flavonoid (phytonutrient) found in lemon peels
All of the nutrients and vitamins in the supplement Lipo-Flavonoid are believed to work together to improve the circulation inside your inner ear
Problems with blood flow are sometimes to blame for tinnitus
There isn’t lot of scientific research to tell us
but the few studies that have been done weren’t encouraging
A small study randomly assigned 40 people with tinnitus to take either a combination of manganese and a Lipo-Flavonoid supplement
two people in the latter group reported a decrease in loudness
the authors couldn’t find enough evidence that Lipo-Flavonoid helps with tinnitus symptoms
Lipo-Flavonoid contains added ingredients such as food dyes and soy that may cause side effects for certain people who are sensitive to these ingredients
The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery doesn’t recommend Lipo-Flavonoid to treat tinnitus because of the lack of evidence that it works
Research has uncovered other treatments and supplements that have better benefits
One main cause of tinnitus is damage to the hairs in the ear that transmit sound. Meniere’s disease is another common cause
It’s a disorder of the inner ear that usually just affects one ear
Meniere’s disease also causes vertigo
It may lead to periodical hearing loss and a feeling of strong pressure against the inside of your ear as well
Your doctor will check your other symptoms and your medical history to correctly diagnose the cause of your tinnitus
If a medical condition like TMJ is causing the ringing
getting treated for the problem should reduce or stop tinnitus
Other supplements have been studied for treating tinnitus
It may work by reducing ear damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals
or by increasing blood flow through the ear
According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
some studies have found that this supplement helps with tinnitus
Whether it works for you may depend on the cause of your tinnitus and on the dose you take
This supplement can also cause severe bleeding in people who take blood thinners or have blood-clotting disorders
This hormone helps regulate the sleep-wake cycles
Some people take it to help them get a good night’s rest
Melatonin may be most effective for helping people with this condition sleep more soundly
A 2016 Cochrane review looked at three studies comparing zinc supplements with an inactive pill (placebo) in 209 adults with tinnitus
The authors found no evidence that zinc improves tinnitus symptoms
However, there may be some use for the supplement in people who are deficient in zinc. By some estimates, that’s up to 69 percent of people with tinnitus
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t regulate dietary supplements
Whereas drugs are considered unsafe until they are proven safe
with supplements it’s the other way around
Be cautious when it comes to taking supplements
These products can cause side effects and may interact with other drugs you take
It’s always advisable to talk to your doctor first
especially if you’re taking other medications
Lipo-Flavonoid is marketed as a tinnitus treatment
yet there’s no real evidence that it works
And some of its ingredients could cause side effects
A few tinnitus treatments — like earwax removal and sound therapy — have more research to support them
If you do plan to try Lipo-Flavonoid or any other supplement
consult your doctor first to make sure it’s safe for you

Deb Haaland and her team documented what they heard Sunday as part of “The Road to Healing,” a cross-country tour to provide survivors an opportunity to share their experiences
Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland listened intently Sunday as survivors of federal Indian boarding schools and their descendants told her their stories during her stop at the Graton Resort and Casino in Rohnert Park
Their accounts were filled with pain and grim memories
unanswered questions and the lingering anger shared by generations of Native Americans who have to grapple with the legacy of federal boarding schools
Haaland and her team documented what they heard Sunday as part of “The Road to Healing,” a cross-country tour to provide survivors of the federal Indian boarding school system and their descendants an opportunity to share their experiences
as well as “help connect communities with trauma-informed support
and facilitate collection of a permanent oral history,” according to the U.S
Sunday’s session in Rohnert Park was hosted by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria
The Indian boarding schools were funded and supported by the Department of Interior
thousands of Native children were forced from their homes and into militant educational settings across the U.S
in an effort to assimilate them and strip them of their language
This program coincided with tribal land dispossession
Those who didn’t comply were often jailed or killed
a Laguna Pueblo tribal member from New Mexico and the first Native American to serve as a U.S
has been affected by the federal Indian boarding school system herself
“Deeply ingrained in so many of us is the trauma that these policies and these places have inflicted upon our people,” she said to the audience gathered at the casino on Sunday
“My ancestors and many of yours endured the horrors of the Indian boarding schools’ assimilation policies carried out by the same department that I now lead.”
“The Road to Healing” is the second part of the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative
which Haaland launched in June 2021 with the goal of addressing the intergenerational trauma caused by these boarding schools
She acknowledged that the tour is just one step in the long process of healing
According to a report compiled under the leadership of Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Bryan Newland as part of Haaland’s work
there were 12 federal Indian boarding schools in California
six of which were north of San Francisco including the Round Valley Boarding School in Covelo and the St
Turibius Mission Boarding and Day School in Kelseyville
Many Bay Area children were taken to Stewart Indian School in Nevada
according to the Department of the Interior report
They are believed to be buried in hundreds of unmarked graves
The Department of the Interior’s investigation identified approximately 53 burial sites at former Indian boarding schools across the country
the Department expects that number to increase
Survivors who came to the tour stop on Sunday shared horrific stories of abuse and trauma they suffered while attending these schools
an elder from the Cahto Tribe of the Laytonville Rancheria
who described herself as the last boarding school survivor of her tribe
said when she first got to her boarding school history class
she asked her teacher about the history of California Native Americans
picked her up and threw her into the wall and said
”There are no damn Indians in California,“ she recalled
Stevenson said she went on to become a preschool teacher and later a tribal leader
but the impacts of her time in the federal Indian boarding school system still affect her
She hates cleaning because the smell of chemicals reminds her of the boarding school bathrooms where she said Native girls were forced to fight each other
she still wakes up without an alarm at 4 every morning
part of the military-like routines she was brought up with
“I ran out of tears,” she said of processing the trauma she experienced
And then she turned to traditional medicine and ceremony to help her heal
an elder of the Miwok tribe and a Vacaville resident whose Indigenous name is Sister Who Walked With Bears
was also among those at the Graton casino on Sunday
She is the president of the California chapter of Missing
She told Haaland that she found out her cousin survived the Stewart Indian School
and later visited the unmarked grave sites to pray and go on a tour
she learned about young girls who were rape victims and became pregnant
She said their babies were thrown out of the infirmary window
leaving them for coyotes and wolves to carry off their bones
“There is no list of what those children's real names were and what tribes they came from,” she said
She urged federal officials to ensure that schools teach kids the real truth of the history of California Natives
so kids can learn to take pride in their roots and end the cycle of trauma
a Santa Rosa resident who said she is a member of the Pomo and Wailacki tribes
listened to the stories Sunday along with four of her nieces and nephews
“It’s important for us as younger people to sit and listen to our elders and learn from survivors,” she said
shared a story from a tribal elder who said that her 9-year-old sister tried to escape from a Fort Bidwell Indian School after being assaulted at the school
“She wondered how her sister felt in those last moments when she was freezing out on those plains,” Potter Jr
“We share the stories and the pain,” he said
He said that pain has impacted generations up to this day
and kids are suffering from secondary trauma and lack of services
Many Native elders have yet to share their stories
because of the amount of shame and embarrassment they were taught to feel
a Santa Rosa resident and Round Valley Indian tribes member who went to Chemawa boarding school in Salem
“Any time there is a voice put to the tragic traumas that we’ve endured
it’s good ― it’s shedding a light to what happened to us,” she said
and the disrespect we’ve endured for hundreds of years,” she added

Utah police officer replaces grandmother's stolen Thanksgiving feastby BRONAGH TUMULTY
MILLCREEK, Utah (KUTV)— Thanksgiving is a go in one Utah home after a thief tried to ruin it — all thanks to a South Salt Lake police officer
Tisina Wolfgramm Gerber is 76 years old and lost her husband in January
and with most of the family planning to descend on grandma for the holiday
It was only when she returned home that she realized someone had broken into her car while she was at one of the stores and stolen all the food inside
She says her first thought was perhaps that person needed the food more
saying she prayed for the thief when she got home
she also called police to tell them what happened
He reached out to a number of community members to get another turkey and all the trimmings donated
Berger says she hugged him and had tears rolling down her face
may have helped in some little way but adds she is so grateful to the boys in blue for helping save her holiday

In our ever-noisy world full of background music
many of us don’t experience a great deal of quiet
that’s not such a great thing for our health
Experts and research studies alike confirm that
time spent in silence can bring numerous health benefits
Though an absence of sound may suggest emptiness
you may discover that dialing down the noise offers surprising fullness for body
Here’s a look at some solid reasons to get quiet
Silence may help your health in several ways
Hypertension
there’s something ironic about the fact that silence could actually help reduce blood pressure
A 2006 study found that a 2-minute period of silence after listening to music significantly reduced subjects’ heart rate and blood pressure
silence resulted in greater decreases in these important measures of heart health
Older 2003 research associated a chronically noisy environment with increases in heart rate and blood pressure
More research is needed to determine the long-term effects of silence on cardiovascular health
There’s a reason why important exams aren’t conducted with music blaring in the background
our brains can better concentrate on the task at hand
In a 2021 study
59 participants performed tasks that required concentration
Those who worked in silence experienced the least cognitive load and the lowest stress levels
“Focusing on one thing at a time with one’s full attention can help promote efficiency and calmness amidst activity,” explains clinical psychologist and mindfulness educator Supriya Blair, PsyD
Racing thoughts are a hallmark of anxiety
Silence might seem like a wide open space for swirling thoughts to fill
it’s possible to allow silence to bring mental stillness
“Learning to become quiet helps us refrain from expending unnecessary energy
endlessly participating in the hamster wheel of thoughts in our head,” says Blair
Ultimately, mental stillness can be a gateway to mindfulness, which has proven benefits for anxiety
“In silence, we can slow down, take time to observe the things around us, and just to be,” says Audrey Hamilton, who facilitates silent retreats with the Carmelite Friars of Boars Hill in the United Kingdom
“This helps us pay attention and be present to the moment
Quieting the mind might lead to a healthier brain
An animal study from 2013 found that 2 hours of silence stimulated growth of new cells in the hippocampus in mice
the region of the brain related to memory and emotion
While this doesn’t necessarily mean humans will experience the same effects
it’s an intriguing invitation for further research
We’ve all probably experienced a sense of overwhelm at a chest-thumpingly loud concert or a noisy child’s birthday party
This mental phenomenon has a physiological basis
The same study that showed the effects of noise on concentration also found that people who performed their task with noise in the background had higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol
“An accumulation of unpleasant noise can lead to mental stress and an excess release of cortisol,” says clinical psychologist Martine Prunty, PhD
Clearing your head with a long silence could be the key to increased creativity
Though clinical research on the exact relationship between silence and creativity is scant, many experts have touted the benefits of mental downtime for better creative output
Periods of downtime have been found to increase productivity and improve problem-solving
“Learning to ‘digest’ our thoughts and quiet the mind can help make room for sparks of creativity and inspired action,” says Blair
Silence could improve insomniaMost of us need a quiet environment for sleep
In fact, the stress of external noise can disrupt nighttime rest to the same degree as a sleep disorder
But the wee hours aren’t the only time when silence can prevent insomnia
Practicing quiet at times throughout the day might set you up for better rest at night
“Silence and periods of calm stimulate brain growth and relieve tension
which can result in a higher sense of well-being
as people can then feel more relaxed generally,” says Prunty
When you’re silent, you have an invitation to sit with the present moment
While you may feel an impulse to fill the space with an activity
you can consciously choose to stay with the silence
This allows the thoughts to settle and the body to return to a parasympathetic state
We can’t necessarily escape the world in a Cone of Silence
we can bring more stillness into our everyday lives
Try these methods of turning down the noise:
try making your vehicle a sanctuary of silence
If you have a long commute
this can be an ideal time to enjoy the quiet
Prunty suggests turning off the radio to lessen mental stimulation and taking the opportunity to be present
Consider: Which daily tasks could be sound-free
If your dinner prep or morning hairstyling always seem to need a soundtrack
try taking a break here and there to tap into stillness
It’s easy to keep earbuds in your ears as a sort of audio autopilot
but you might find some mental relief by taking them out
“Simply breaking the habit of walking around with earphones stops the constant stimulation of being directly absorbed every second of the day,” says Prunty
or roommates add perpetual sound to your space
If you can, try getting up before the rest of your household
but maybe get up 15 minutes earlier and slowly savor that first cup,” recommends Hamilton
silence can feel threatening or uncomfortable
“Begin with practicing 2 minutes of silence at a time,” encourages Blair
“Watch the goings-on of the mind without latching on to a thought.”
Silence may offer a host of health benefits
not to mention a greater sense of ease and peace
silence can become a nourishing part of your life

demanded for a helicopter ambulance to fly her dying granddaughter to a hospital
Kerina Mujati writes saying the development should be a lesson for her and other elites that they should invest in adequate healthcare for all
The development comes after many ZANU PF supporters criticised investigative journalist Hopewell Chin’ono for highlighting the plight of the nation’s hospital facilities
One of them posted the picture of a cancer machine from India claiming contrary to Chin’ono’s claims
is from Harare’s Parirenyatwa Hospital
Monica you can be so arrogant with your borrowed power and looted riches yet you shall be haunted the rest of your life as you will be driving to your Farm at that Selous turnoff where your granddaughter’s life was taken will always be glaring back at you
As you needed a Helicopter which your power and money failed to provide in your desperate moment
may I kindly remind you to reflect on that as it is a reality that ordinary Zimbabweans live with each second as they cannot even get a paracetamol
I hope life has taught you something that death is invincible nomatter how rich
Ndokutonga kwacho kweku shaya ma Ambulance asi Mwari akuratidza kuti ndiye Mutongi uye anotongera pachitororo kana ada hake
uye akakuratidza kuti mari ne power yauno funga kuti unayo izuda kumagumo tese tinoenda tisina chinhu
Kana waifunga kuti uka fona ku MARS ” it’s me Minister of Information Monica Mutsvangwa I need a Helicopter to airlift my granddaughter immediately” that would intimidate them ,Mwari akakuratidza kuti aiwa
moita propaganda shoma mogadzirisa nyika nekuti wakuziva kuti dying with dignity and no pain is very important
