Zelensky Advocates For Victory Plan Amid NATO Hesitation President seeks renewed military support and NATO membership as Ukraine faces intensified conflicts with RussiaUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently put forth his ambitious "Victory Plan" during high-profile meetings with European leaders and NATO defense chiefs, aiming to rally support and define Ukraine’s path to ending the protracted conflict with Russia. His plan includes enhancing Ukraine's military strength, adopting non-nuclear deterrent measures, and stimulating economic growth. While the Victory Plan is intended to clarify Ukraine's objectives and signal its determination to its partners, the response from Western allies has been tepid. The urgency of Ukraine's need for aid and the growing instability created by Russian advances make the discussions surrounding the Victory Plan critically important. Despite the complex political and military backdrop accompanying the Victory Plan, there is also a sentiment growing among Ukraine's allies about maintaining unity against Russian aggression.
Study: Severe COVID raised risk of heart attack, stroke as much as having heart diseaseEmily Alpert Reyes | (TNS) Los Angeles TimesLOS ANGELES — People hospitalized for COVID-19 early in the pandemic suffered an increased risk of serious “cardiac events” such as heart attacks and strokes that was akin to people with a history of heart disease, a newly released study has found. Researchers from USC, UCLA and the Cleveland Clinic analyzed more than 10,000 COVID cases tracked by the UK Biobank to examine how COVID affected the risk of heart attacks and other cardiac threats. The findings underscore that among “people who don’t have any evidence of heart disease, having severe COVID put them at a significantly increased risk of heart attack, stroke and death,” said principal investigator Hooman Allayee, professor of population and public health sciences at USC’s Keck School of Medicine. “Your genetics actually plays a role in this increased risk of developing future heart attacks and stroke,” said James Hilser, a Keck doctoral candidate in biochemistry and molecular medicine who helped write the paper. Researchers also cautioned that some COVID patients may have had undiagnosed heart disease when they were hospitalized, which would not be evident in the UK Biobank data.
(TibetanReview.net, Oct17’24) –China has done it again, sharing the spot this time with Myanmar: the country with the world’s worst environment for internet freedom, according to the annual ranking by the US-based Freedom House, which released its report Oct 16. For the past decade, China has consistently ranked last in the world for internet freedom due to its all-pervading online surveillance and content control system dubbed the “Great Firewall,” noted the edition.cnn.com Oct 17. The organisation’s 2024 Freedom on the Net (FOTN) report assessed internet freedom based on data collected from Jun 2023 to May 2024 in terms of obstacles people face accessing the internet, limits on content and violations of users’ rights. China and Myanmar both scored 9 out of 100 in internet freedom, the lowest among all the countries assessed. The report from Freedom House, a US government-funded NGO, has found that global internet freedom has declined for the 14th consecutive year.

via Associated PressLet’s be real here ― nobody escapes a teenage Doctor Who obsession without at least a little crush on David Tennant. So when the actor described himself as a “white, middle-aged, pretty-privileged bloke” on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast, I thought to myself ― “ah, he knows.”AdvertisementThe Rivals actor made the comment after Fearne said his “voice helps a community that is often struggling” (referring to the LGBTQIA+ community who David has vocally supported in the past). “Certainly in terms of anything I say in support of the LGBTQ community just... it just feels like common sense to me,” he shared. “And I just find it ludicrous how some of those conversations have been weaponised and turned into an element of the culture wars. He also spoke on Ed Miliband’s Reasons To Be Cheerful podcast, saying that “the fact that Pride Month is existing and flourishing and is something that’s happening at a time when the world seems to be getting in some corners worryingly intolerant and weirdly backward.”There are many other examples of the star using his “pretty privilege” for good ― and long may it continue.
