consciouslifenews--2020-06-03--US Surveillance Bill 6666: The Devil in the Details

H.R .
6666 does not ensure privacy .
It also sets the stage for multiple violations of our constitutional rights , including the Fourth , Fifth , Eighth and Ninth amendments The government grants — $ 100 billion of taxpayer money for 2020 alone — would be used by “ eligible entities ” to hire employees and buy the supplies needed to conduct testing and contact tracing , including sending employees to the residences of citizens to conduct COVID-19 testing The bill authorizes CDC to award grants for testing , contact tracing , monitoring , and other activities to address @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Testing , Reaching And Contacting Everyone ( TRACE ) Act , was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce , May 1 , 2020 , by Rep. Bobby Rush , D-III As if vaccine passports , COVID-19 contact tracing apps and the Rockefeller Foundation 's plan to reopen America don ’ t already pose enough of a threat to civil liberties and democratic society , here comes a new bill , H.R .
6666 , the COVID-19 Testing , Reaching And Contacting Everyone ( TRACE ) Act.1 The bill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Committee on Energy and Commerce by Rep. Bobby Rush , D-Ill. , May 1 , 2020 .
As of May 25 , 2020 , the bill has 64 cosponsors — all Democrats .
Originally , there also was one Republican , but he withdrew his sponsorship on May 15 .
According to the summary of the bill:2 Needless to say , many an eyebrow is being raised over the “ 6666 ” in the resolution .
It seems both unfortunate and ironically apt .
As noted by Cheryl Chumley in a May 12 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government grants — a whopping $ 100 billion of taxpayer money for 2020 alone — would be used by “ eligible entities ” to hire employees and buy the supplies needed to conduct testing and contact tracing .
This includes sending employees to the residences of citizens to conduct COVID-19 testing .
Entities eligible for grant money include federally qualified health centers , school-based clinics , disproportionate share hospitals , academic medical centers , nonprofit organizations , institutions of higher education , high schools , and any other entities determined to be eligible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If you test positive , you would then be quarantined either at a mobile health unit or in your own home .
Contact tracers would also collect information about anyone you may have come into contact with so that they can be tested and , if needed , quarantined .
As noted by Chumley , just how the government intends to ensure compliance with quarantine remains an unanswered question .
We now know that up to 80 % of people who test positive remain asymptomatic,4 and for people who feel fine , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or in a mobile unit , for two weeks or more may not be a welcome proposition at this point .
In a nutshell , H.R .
6666 calls for taking $ 100 billion of our taxpayer money to fund our own persecution .
I say “ persecution , ” considering this virus isn ’ t particularly lethal for people under the age of 80 , and has an overall survival rate of about 99 % and therefore doesn ’ t pose a significant threat for the vast majority of the population .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ unreliable , seeing how “ suspected ” cases are lumped into mortality statistics .
But two situations for which we have more complete data suggest the risk from SARS-CoV-2 is minimal .
For example , of the roughly 4,800 crew on the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt , 840 tested positive,5 but 60 % were asymptomatic,6 meaning they had no symptoms .
Only one crewmember died.7 Similarly , among the 3,711 passengers and crew on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship , 712 ( 19.2 % ) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the time of testing .
Of those showing symptoms , only 9.7 % required intensive care , and 1.3 % ( nine ) died.8 Military personnel , as you would expect , tend to be healthier than the general population .
Still , the data from these two incidents reveal several important points to consider .
First of all , it suggests that even when living in close , crowded quarters , the infection rate is low .
Only 17.5 % of the USS Theodore Roosevelt crew got infected — slightly lower @ @ @ @ @ @ @ board the Diamond Princess , which had a greater ratio of older people .
Second , fit and healthy individuals are more likely to be asymptomatic than not — 60 % of naval personnel compared to 46.5 % of civilians onboard the Diamond Princess had no symptoms despite testing positive .
While H.R .
6666 may not be satanic , it ’ s certainly “ devilish , ” Bob Barr writes in a May 20 , 2020 , Marietta Daily Journal op-ed.9 Barr , president , and CEO of the Law Enforcement Education @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Congressman for Georgia ’ s Seventh District .
Considering the latest iPhone and Android updates make the phones contact-tracing ready , the bill has , in pragmatic terms , already come to pass .
As reported by Global World Trends,10 Apple ’ s iOS 13.5 update contains a built-in Exposure Notifications API , which will “ allow governments and public health agencies to develop apps that alert you if you 've come into contact with someone who later tests positive for Covid-19 and that person anonymously logs their positive result into a database.

6666 in no way guarantees privacy .

6666 “ sets the stage for multiple violations of our constitutional rights , ” NVIC notes , including the Fourth , Fifth , Eighth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 6666 should be opposed because it provides federal funding to entities to create and enforce unrestricted surveillance , testing , tracing , and quarantine mechanisms and has no set end date .
There is simply no way to know how many inalienable rights protected under the U.S. Constitution could be infringed upon or taken away from citizens if this bill becomes law , ” NVIC says .

H.R. 6666 does not ensure privacy. It also sets the stage for multiple violations of our constitutional rights, including the Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and Ninth amendments
The government grants — $100 billion of taxpayer money for 2020 alone — would be used by “eligible entities” to hire employees and buy the supplies needed to conduct testing and contact tracing, including sending employees to the residences of citizens to conduct COVID-19 testing
The bill authorizes CDC to award grants for testing, contact tracing, monitoring, and other activities to address COVID-19
H.R. 6666, the COVID-19 Testing, Reaching And Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act, was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, May 1, 2020, by Rep. Bobby Rush, D-III
As if vaccine passports, COVID-19 contact tracing apps and the Rockefeller Foundation's plan to reopen America don’t already pose enough of a threat to civil liberties and democratic society, here comes a new bill, H.R. 6666, the COVID-19 Testing, Reaching And Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act.1
The bill was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce by Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., May 1, 2020. As of May 25, 2020, the bill has 64 cosponsors — all Democrats. Originally, there also was one Republican, but he withdrew his sponsorship on May 15. According to the summary of the bill:2
“This bill authorizes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to award grants for testing, contact tracing, monitoring, and other activities to address COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019).
Entities such as federally qualified health centers, nonprofit organizations, and certain hospitals and schools are eligible to receive such grants. In awarding the grants, the CDC shall prioritize applicants that (1) operate in hot spots and medically underserved communities, and (2) agree to hire individuals from the communities where grant activities occur.”
H.R. 6666 — A ‘Monstrously Unconstitutional’ Bill
Needless to say, many an eyebrow is being raised over the “6666” in the resolution. It seems both unfortunate and ironically apt. As noted by Cheryl Chumley in a May 12, 2020, Washington Times article:3
“Mark of the beast. Mark of the beast for a beastly, monstrously unconstitutional bill. After all, what’s more devilishly un-American than launching one of the most massive government surveillance programs of private citizens in U.S. history, all under the guise of protecting people from the coronavirus?”
The government grants — a whopping $100 billion of taxpayer money for 2020 alone — would be used by “eligible entities” to hire employees and buy the supplies needed to conduct testing and contact tracing. This includes sending employees to the residences of citizens to conduct COVID-19 testing.
Entities eligible for grant money include federally qualified health centers, school-based clinics, disproportionate share hospitals, academic medical centers, nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, high schools, and any other entities determined to be eligible by the Health and Human Services Secretary.
If you test positive, you would then be quarantined either at a mobile health unit or in your own home. Contact tracers would also collect information about anyone you may have come into contact with so that they can be tested and, if needed, quarantined.
As noted by Chumley, just how the government intends to ensure compliance with quarantine remains an unanswered question. We now know that up to 80% of people who test positive remain asymptomatic,4 and for people who feel fine, being locked up, whether at home or in a mobile unit, for two weeks or more may not be a welcome proposition at this point.
COVID-19 Does Not Warrant Proposed Tracking Measures
In a nutshell, H.R. 6666 calls for taking $100 billion of our taxpayer money to fund our own persecution. I say “persecution,” considering this virus isn’t particularly lethal for people under the age of 80, and has an overall survival rate of about 99% and therefore doesn’t pose a significant threat for the vast majority of the population.
At present, most data are still unreliable, seeing how “suspected” cases are lumped into mortality statistics. But two situations for which we have more complete data suggest the risk from SARS-CoV-2 is minimal.
For example, of the roughly 4,800 crew on the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, 840 tested positive,5 but 60% were asymptomatic,6 meaning they had no symptoms. Only one crewmember died.7
Similarly, among the 3,711 passengers and crew on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship, 712 (19.2%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, and of these 46.5% were asymptomatic at the time of testing. Of those showing symptoms, only 9.7% required intensive care, and 1.3% (nine) died.8
Military personnel, as you would expect, tend to be healthier than the general population. Still, the data from these two incidents reveal several important points to consider. First of all, it suggests that even when living in close, crowded quarters, the infection rate is low.
Only 17.5% of the USS Theodore Roosevelt crew got infected — slightly lower than the 19.2% of those on board the Diamond Princess, which had a greater ratio of older people.
Second, fit and healthy individuals are more likely to be asymptomatic than not — 60% of naval personnel compared to 46.5% of civilians onboard the Diamond Princess had no symptoms despite testing positive.
‘Devilish’ in Its Substance
While H.R. 6666 may not be satanic, it’s certainly “devilish,” Bob Barr writes in a May 20, 2020, Marietta Daily Journal op-ed.9 Barr, president, and CEO of the Law Enforcement Education Foundation, is a former U.S. Congressman for Georgia’s Seventh District.
“Make no mistake … the bill is a dangerous piece of legislation, not because of its number, but because of its substance,” Barr writes. “It is the latest in a long line of legislative vehicles … to increase the federal government’s power to gather and database private information on citizens …
In this latest effort, House Democrats have employed the tradecraft for which the Congress has become notoriously adept — hiding the true purpose of legislation behind a façade of protecting people from a known or perceived danger …
The specific provisions within H.R. 6666 pose a very real danger; not only as a stand-alone bill … but as a possible amendment that could be slipped into the most recent, massive COVID-19 ‘stimulus’ bill that passed the House last week.
The administration already has signaled support for some version of a Phase IV relief package, and whatever that final document looks like, it is certain to be long and complicated, making it a perfect vehicle in which to hide a provision for ‘contact tracing’ similar perhaps to what Rush’s TRACE Act would do …
Those of us who are concerned about the growth of government surveillance and data-basing of personal information must be vigilant against measures like the TRACE Act, regardless of their surface appeal. We must demand the Congress and the Administration aggressively oppose any such measures.”
WARNING: Apple, Android Updates Include API for Tracing Apps
Considering the latest iPhone and Android updates make the phones contact-tracing ready, the bill has, in pragmatic terms, already come to pass.
As reported by Global World Trends,10 Apple’s iOS 13.5 update contains a built-in Exposure Notifications API, which will “allow governments and public health agencies to develop apps that alert you if you've come into contact with someone who later tests positive for Covid-19 and that person anonymously logs their positive result into a database.”
API stands for “application programming interface.”11 It’s essentially a set of functions that allow apps to access certain data or features of the operating system. That said, you would still have to download a contact tracing app in order to participate in a contact tracing program, according to an Apple representative.12
HR 6666 Sets Us on a Dangerous Path
As detailed by the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) in a recent “Action Alert” emailed to users of NVIC’s Advocacy Portal:13
“H.R. 6666 is a federal funding bill. It proposes to create a surveillance infrastructure that can be used by the federal government, as well as local and state governments and private businesses, to require medical testing and tracking of all citizens.
This is in violation of fundamental civil liberties as set forth in the Bill of Rights, which include the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution designed to protect individual rights and limit the power of the government.
H.R. 6666 lacks safeguards and conditions related to funding of the proposed surveillance operation to prevent it from being applied to intrusive programs mandating testing and surveillance without an individual’s voluntary consent.
If this legislation is passed by Congress and enacted into law, it could lead to denial of an individual’s right to appear in public spaces and travel; the right to employment and education or participation in government-funded services, and the right to receive care in a government funded hospital or other any other medical facility.
H.R. 6666 specifically allows for funded entities to home quarantine a person against their will, even while they are healthy. Once a vaccine is available, the testing and tracing results potentially could be used to force individuals to be injected with a COVID-19 vaccine against their will.”
As noted by NVIC, while the bill specifies that “Nothing in this section shall be construed to supersede any Federal privacy or confidentiality requirement, including the regulations promulgated under section 264(c) of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996,” H.R. 6666 in no way guarantees privacy.
HIPAA “has always allowed disclosure of private health information to government officials and other government-approved entities including foreign governments without the knowledge or consent of the individual for the purpose of conducting public health surveillance, investigations or interventions,” NVIC writes.14
Public Health Crisis Does Not Suspend Bill of Rights
NVIC also highlights the fact that the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution cannot be suspended or ignored by state or federal government during public health emergencies.
As noted by the U.S. Department of Justice in a recent Statement of Interest in Support of Plaintiffs in the case of Temple Baptist Church against the City of Greenville and its mayor, which banned drive-in church services and slapped attendees with fines:15
“There is no pandemic exception, however, to the fundamental liberties the Constitution safeguards. Indeed, ‘individual rights secured by the Constitution do not disappear during a public health crisis.’
In re Abbott, — F.3d —, 2020 WL 1685929, at *6 (5th Cir. Apr. 7, 2020). These individual rights, including the protections in the Bill of Rights made applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment, are always in force and restrain government action.”
Indeed, H.R. 6666 “sets the stage for multiple violations of our constitutional rights,” NVIC notes, including the Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and Ninth amendments:
•The Fourth Amendment16 right of American citizens is to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. As explained by NVIC: “The bill does not allow individuals to exercise their Constitutional right to be safe in their homes free from warrantless government intrusion, and does not provide for voluntary refusal of testing and monitoring by a government funded entity. The bill also does not set forth how the contacts of persons with COVID-19 will be traced and whether the Constitutional rights of those infected with COVID-19, as well as their contacts, will be upheld.” •The Fifth Amendment17 of the U.S. Constitution guarantees that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law. “This legislation provides government funding of entities that will enforce testing and potentially enforce vaccination of healthy individuals, who are suspected of having come into contact with COVID-19 positive persons whether or not they are exhibiting symptoms, without requiring the voluntary consent of the individual,” NVIC writes. •The Eighth Amendment18 prohibits cruel and unusual punishment of citizens. In this case, as noted by NVIC: “The proposed law provides government funding to entities that will create and implement programs that trace, monitor and support the enforced quarantine of healthy individuals, who are suspected of coming into contact with COVID-19 persons, whether or not they are exhibiting symptoms and whether or not they may already be immune.” •The 9th Amendment19 of the U.S. Constitution bestows upon the people's rights not specifically set forth in the Constitution. “H.R. 6666 provides funding for entities to create and implement undefined ‘related activities’ to COVID-19 testing and unnamed ‘other purposes.’”
Take Action Today!
“H.R. 6666 should be opposed because it provides federal funding to entities to create and enforce unrestricted surveillance, testing, tracing, and quarantine mechanisms and has no set end date. There is simply no way to know how many inalienable rights protected under the U.S. Constitution could be infringed upon or taken away from citizens if this bill becomes law,” NVIC says.
I urge you to take action today and help us stop this nasty bill. Call and email your U.S. congressional representative and ask them to vote against H.R. 6666, the “COVID–19 Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act.”

consciouslifenews--2020-06-03--How to Reduce Eye Strain from Digital Devices

Truth be told , we can ’ t live without our digital devices !
How do we stay connected to family and friends ?
How do we know what ’ s going on in the world ?
How can we work from home ?
And how in the world do we get entertained ?
While a few decades ago everyone survived just fine without them , such a life is hardly imaginable now .
Blue light from these very devices that are making life oh so convenient is also the source of health complications .
If you spend hours on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noticed some effects .
Tired and sore eyes , neck pains , headaches or blurred vision .
Sound familiar ?
If yes , you could be suffering from a classic case of digital eye strain .
How Does Blue Light Cause Eye Strain ?
Blue light is a High-Energy Visible light that can penetrate through the eye right to the retina .
The retina has light-sensitive cells that easily get irritated or even damaged by HEV light as in the case of macular degeneration .
Blue light is everywhere as it is produced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ source .
The other source is electronic digital devices like computers , smartphones , tablets , LED fluorescent lighting and LED flat-screen TVs .
Blue light from the sun is responsible for waking you and keeping you alert throughout the day .
When you stay up at night and expose yourself to its artificial sources , it keeps you alert so you have a hard time getting sleep .
Therefore , you need to find ways to decrease blue light exposure from digital devices and keep eye strain at bay .
Blue light @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or part of blue light coming from a screen .
There are two types of blue light screen filters : physical filters and software filters .
• Physical filters- These include both screen protectors and specialized eyewear .
Screen protectors are put on either smartphones or computer screens to filter out blue light .
They are coated with a material that reduces the amount of blue light that passes through .
They also have an anti-glare feature to save the eyes from bright light from the screens .
Blue light filtering glasses work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blocking out blue light .
Blue light filtering coatings are available for both prescription and non-prescription eyewear .
• Software filters- These are applications that are either inbuilt in devices or installed that block blue light from the screen .
They include applications like lux , Night Mode and Night Shift .
However , filtering out blue light using applications tends to distort colours and reduce clarity .
The intensity of blue light is more hard-hitting when you sit too close to your screen .
You should keep an arm 's length away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you 're having a hard time seeing properly , enlarge your font .
People often forget to blink or look away while focused on screens .
As a result , your eyes get tired and dry .
One way of countering this is by looking away every 20 minutes at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds .
Remember to also blink as often as possible .
Artificial tears are also a lifesaver on this front .
The glare of bright screens and lighting is a contributing factor to eye strain .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the level of brightness on your devices .
Since LED lighting also emits blue light , dim those too if you can to reduce exposure .
The temptation to sit and do your work from start to finish may be irresistible but take breaks every once in a while to alleviate eye strain symptoms .
It is recommended that you take 10-minute breaks every hour .
During the break , stretch your neck , shoulder , arms and legs to reduce muscle tension and fatigue .
Eye strain is often caused by excessive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lighting .
Reduce outdoor light by closing drapes or blinds .
For indoor lighting , use bulbs of a lower voltage or reduce the number of bulbs .
Try to avoid having light in front , behind or overhead the computer .
The light coming from the sides or floor lighting is preferable .
The brightness of the screen should match the lighting around you .
A glaring screen more often than not causes you eye strain .
The glare can also be from light from the screen bouncing off walls .
Buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anti-reflective coatings .
Do away with white walls for your office and go for a darker shade that doesn ’ t reflect colour .
Eye strain is not the only health effect that blue light can cause you .
It has also been associated with a lack of sleep which leads to a myriad of other diseases like heart disease and diabetes .
The wise course of action is to consider the suggestions above and save yourself a whole lot of preventable health troubles .

Truth be told, we can’t live without our digital devices! How do we stay connected to family and friends? How do we know what’s going on in the world? How can we work from home? And how in the world do we get entertained? While a few decades ago everyone survived just fine without them, such a life is hardly imaginable now.

The other source is electronic digital devices like computers, smartphones, tablets, LED fluorescent lighting and LED flat-screen TVs.
Blue light from the sun is responsible for waking you and keeping you alert throughout the day. When you stay up at night and expose yourself to its artificial sources, it keeps you alert so you have a hard time getting sleep. Therefore, you need to find ways to decrease blue light exposure from digital devices and keep eye strain at bay.
Ways You Can Reduce Eye Strain
Use Blue Light Screen Filters
Blue light screen filters block out or absorb all or part of blue light coming from a screen. There are two types of blue light screen filters: physical filters and software filters.
Physical filters- These include both screen protectors and specialized eyewear. Screen protectors are put on either smartphones or computer screens to filter out blue light. They are coated with a material that reduces the amount of blue light that passes through. They also have an anti-glare feature to save the eyes from bright light from the screens. Blue light filtering glasses work the same way as screen filters by blocking out blue light. Blue light filtering coatings are available for both prescription and non-prescription eyewear.
Software filters- These are applications that are either inbuilt in devices or installed that block blue light from the screen. They include applications like lux, Night Mode and Night Shift. However, filtering out blue light using applications tends to distort colours and reduce clarity.
Maintain a Good Distance from Your Devices
The intensity of blue light is more hard-hitting when you sit too close to your screen. You should keep an arm's length away from your screen as you work. If you're having a hard time seeing properly, enlarge your font.
Observe the 20-20-20 Rule
People often forget to blink or look away while focused on screens. As a result, your eyes get tired and dry. One way of countering this is by looking away every 20 minutes at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Remember to also blink as often as possible. Artificial tears are also a lifesaver on this front.
Adjust Brightness of Devices
The glare of bright screens and lighting is a contributing factor to eye strain. Towards evening, remember to crank down the level of brightness on your devices. Since LED lighting also emits blue light, dim those too if you can to reduce exposure.
Take Breaks
The temptation to sit and do your work from start to finish may be irresistible but take breaks every once in a while to alleviate eye strain symptoms. It is recommended that you take 10-minute breaks every hour. During the break, stretch your neck, shoulder, arms and legs to reduce muscle tension and fatigue.
Use Proper Lighting
Eye strain is often caused by excessive light coming from outside or from indoor lighting. Reduce outdoor light by closing drapes or blinds. For indoor lighting, use bulbs of a lower voltage or reduce the number of bulbs. Try to avoid having light in front, behind or overhead the computer. The light coming from the sides or floor lighting is preferable. The brightness of the screen should match the lighting around you.
Reduce Glare
A glaring screen more often than not causes you eye strain. The glare can also be from light from the screen bouncing off walls. Buy anti-glare screen filters or glasses that have anti-reflective coatings. Do away with white walls for your office and go for a darker shade that doesn’t reflect colour.
Eye strain is not the only health effect that blue light can cause you. It has also been associated with a lack of sleep which leads to a myriad of other diseases like heart disease and diabetes. The wise course of action is to consider the suggestions above and save yourself a whole lot of preventable health troubles.

Furthermore, there are some surprising and debilitating conditions that can manifest from poor reproductive hygiene. Cancers, venereal diseases, yeast infections—the list goes on. Especially if you’re sexually active, you put yourself at extreme risk. The best thing to do is find a single monogamous partner and stay with them for the long-term—but that’s not always something feasible, or desired, by modern women.

A few regular checkups you work into your hygiene routine can save you from a variety of intimately impacting health conditions.

Following the tips above can help you resolve health issues naturally without taking medications that might prove harmful in the long run.

The Mediterranean diet is looking more and more appealing these days. Earlier this month, scientists said that adding a small amount of pasta to your Mediterranean diet wouldn’t help pack unwanted pounds onto your frame. In fact, they said, it could even help you slim down a bit.
Well, dinner might look even more appetizing to people who adhere to this way of eating now that researchers have found that a Mediterranean diet high in healthy fats still offers tremendous health benefits.
The Mediterranean diet emphasizes eating primarily plant-based foods – fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Butter is replaced with healthy fats such as olive oil and canola oil. Rather than using salt to flavor foods, people who eat a Mediterranean diet season their meals with herbs and spices. Red meat consumption is limited to no more than a few times a month, while fish and poultry are eaten at least twice a week. Red wine can be enjoyed in moderation.
In a new meta-analysis published in the Annals of Internal Medicine of previous studies that looked at associations between diet and disease outcomes, researchers found that people who ate a high-fat Mediterranean diet significantly reduced their risk of a number of chronic illnesses.
As long as those fats are healthy fats, the team said, and part of an otherwise healthy, vegetable-rich diet, they don’t have to worry about curbing their fat intake.
Study author Hanna E. Bloomfield, a researcher at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center, said:
“The evidence that we reviewed from the past fifty years or so showed that people who consume a Mediterranean diet with no restriction on fat intake have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and type two diabetes.” [2]
Mediterranean Diet Needs At Least 2 of These 7 Patterns
For the meta-analysis, Bloomfield and her team defined a Mediterranean diet as having no limit on fat, but having at least 2 of the 7 following patterns:
1. A high monounsaturated-to-saturated fat ratio
2. Lots of fruits and vegetables
3. High legume intake
4. High grain and cereal consumption
5. Moderate red wine consumption
6. Low consumption of meat/meat products
7. High intake of fish [1]
The researchers looked at 56 studies and found no association between the Mediterranean diet and mortality in general; however, the team pointed out that there may not have been enough participants to establish a connection.
There were plenty of links between a high-fat Mediterranean diet and chronic illnesses, however. People who strongly adhered to the diet, regardless of their fat intake, had a 29% reduced risk of heart-related problems, including heart attack, stroke, and heart disease-related death, compared to those who adhered to the diet the least.
The former also had a 57% reduced risk of breast cancer, and a 30% reduced risk of diabetes. [1]
Bloomfield said:
“If you adhere to a Mediterranean diet, you will probably have fewer heart attacks and strokes, and will be less likely to develop breast cancer and less likely to develop diabetes.” [2]
Previous studies have suggested that the Mediterranean diet might also lower cholesterol (though some studies suggest that it is low cholesterol, not high cholesterol, which is harmful to the heart), help people lose weight and lower blood sugar, among other things.
The Mediterranean diet is also antioxidant-rich, which could also promote better health.
If you’re not already eating a Mediterranean diet, and you’d like to give it a try, Bloomfield said shifting to the diet can be done in steps:
“The main thing I would do is start using only olive oil or canola oil in my kitchen. Eat more chicken and fish and less red meat, and more nuts instead of potato chips.”
Other suggestions include adding more vegetables to dishes; topping cereal, salads, and even meat with fruits; and adding beans to meat dishes or in place of meat.

(TMU) – In a video recently published online, George Floyd’s daughter, Gianna can be heard saying that, “Daddy changed the world.”
In the video, Gianna is seen sitting atop the shoulders of her “uncle” retired NBA star, Stephen Jackson, who was one of Floyd’s closest friends.
The video went viral after it was shared on Twitter by Bernice A. King, the youngest daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
King said that she understands Gianna’s struggle because her father changed the world and unfortunately died doing it as well.
“Nobody knows her burden and pride as you,” she said in her tweet.
In a later statement, King said that she can relate to Giana’s pain, and was even bold enough to point out that her father was killed by law enforcement.
“I was five years old when my father was killed by law enforcement. I know that pain, I know that void, I know the journey of anger. I know what people are feeling. I feel it,” King said, according to The Grio.
During a press conference this week, Gianna’s mother Roxie Washington expressed her grief about how her daughter will now have to grow up without a father.
“Gianna does not have a father. He will never see her grow up, graduate. He will never walk her down the aisle. If there’s a problem she’s having and she needs a dad, she does not have that anymore,” she said.
George Floyd’s death has already begun to change the world in just a little over a week.
Never before has there been such a large movement against police brutality, and it has now become a global phenomenon. In cases of police murder, the officers involved rarely lose their jobs or face charges, and if they do, it usually takes a long time, since police departments often do their best to cover up the transgressions of their officers.
However, this time, all of the officers have been fired and are facing charges related to the incident. The officer directly responsible for Floyd’s death is facing murder charges.
Following the initial days of the protest, Minneapolis Public Schools announced that they were terminating their contract with the local police department.
The contract was worth over $1 million dollars, and put police officers in direct contact with children and teenagers on a regular basis, leading to many unnecessary assaults and arrests. Given how widespread these protests have become, it is highly likely that other parts of the country will follow suit with similar changes.
US lawmakers are also now pushing for monumental police reforms that seek to limit legal protections for violent cops and strip police departments of their military equipment. The measures are being introduced or supported by both Republican and Democratic lawmakers.
People are more open to the idea of police reform than ever, and it is all because the case of George Floyd was so impossible to deny, excuse, and sweep under the rug as we have seen so often with police killings. Hopefully, real change can come in the aftermath of this tragedy.

Covid-19 has meant weeks and then months of uncertainty. Today we’re being careful where we venture out.

During this pandemic, this is our choice of activism, which brings us all to days and weeks of uncertainty.
While younger generations may not have withstood the ongoing stress and compromises of living during a crisis, seniors have. They have plenty of experience confronting crises and using creative problem-solving skills that summon the higher instincts of the human spirit. They have taken an active role when times get tough: tended to victory gardens, made do when there was little to go around, comforted those who lost loved ones to wars, gone to war themselves, protested, demonstrated, and most of all, shown up. They joined in spirit after witnessing the shock of Kennedy’s assassination on television. They held fast to our nation’s values when a president was exposed for committing acts of betrayal to the rule of law. After 9/11, they were there to help the thousands who lost loved ones and adapted to the new security requirements of traveling, doing what they had to do.
That takes character, integrity, patience, and persistence. And those qualities are what we need right now. If you’re looking for inspiration or a symbol of hope, here are five ordinary people — who just happen to be seniors — doing extraordinary things:
Lynn Holbein, of Newton, Massachusetts has been a lifelong activist. In 2005 she founded UU Mass Action to work for social justice. Its mission is to organize and mobilize Unitarian Universalists throughout the state to confront oppression. She worked for years to accomplish reform of mandatory minimum drug sentencing. Eventually, Massachusetts passed a sweeping prison reform bill.
Meanwhile, Lynn, an accomplished artist, recruited a friend to join her in teaching an art class in a men’s prison. It was to be an eight-week program. This year they started their eighteenth year of the classes. Now she has men in class who will be released early thanks to the legislation and the work she initiated with her church members.
On September 11, 2001, Ram Singal was on the sixty-fourth floor in the north tower when the plane hit. He is a professional engineer who helped to design the structural integrity inspections for that tower of the World Trade Center. Then he trained the people who were responsible for conducting those inspections. He was uniquely informed to be able to help others evacuate during the collapse of the building.
Three years later, he conceived an idea: if so few people could accomplish such devastation, what could seven billion (the estimated world population at the time) people performing acts of goodness accomplish? This non-sectarian program is found online at www.actsofgoodness.org. Now, nearly seventy, Ram Singal travels the world dedicated to acts of goodness and to making a positive difference.
It was a post-college summer vacation in Europe that expanded Cathy Scherer’s geographic point of view. Marriage took her to Germany as an Air Force officer’s wife and the mother of two children. Exploring new destinations, discovering new cultures, meeting the people who lived in those places planted the seed that would bear a budding internationalist. After her divorce, Ms. Scherer stayed ten years in Germany with her kids. When she returned to the U.S., she made a career with a consulting firm that groomed expatriates to work and assimilate into foreign cultures.
She wrote two books about business in a global environment. Her commitment includes helping kids realize that they are part of a vast international community. With her second husband, Ms. Scherer wrote a series of children’s books, which showed kids what it was like to live in another country. The stories were told by a dog and his partner — an operatic canary. She also established a partnership between Old Dominion University and a small private school where she implements a program between international university students and middle school students who come to know them. Her goal is peace, learned person-to-person.
Bob Groves’ professional career usually meant that he would assume executive positions in the public health field. Leading the Health Promotion Council in Philadelphia, he pioneered “health literacy” to advance public health knowledge among underserved populations. In “retirement,” Mr. Groves became active in the local United Nations Association. Thus began the creation of an OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) course at Temple University called Human Rights in the 21st Century. It is regularly over-subscribed. At 70, it follows a natural progression in a lifetime of activism.
His very full schedule means that Gilbert Kliman, MD, is either treating children and doing research or serving as an expert witness in a courtroom, testifying about traumatized children and adolescents. His work takes him from his office in San Francisco to various locales in North and South America. Flying his own plane makes his travel efficient and allows him to go where he is needed on a very flexible flight schedule.
He is uncommonly devoted to the plight of children in distress. Now in his early 90s, Dr. Kliman has amassed an entire compendium of research-based resources for the treatment of suffering children and forensic protocols to help them recover from severe trauma. He has generously assembled references, online seminars, and used technology to preserve and transmit what he has learned to those who will follow him. His work will survive him and will progress as more knowledge is added that can help these children.
