Plans for a new Thames Water outlet at Teddington, additional ‘treated’ sewage to be pumped into the Thames. Lead of Thames Water Consultation team says she wouldn’t allow her children to swim in it now as there is already treated sewage pumped in at the same place…

"CBT and graded exercise therapy studies have proven that ME/CFS and long COVID are physical diseases, yet no one is aware of that"

CBT and graded exercise therapy studies have proven that ME/CFS and long COVID are physical diseases, yet no one is aware of that The assumption of the CBmodel is that ME/CFS patients are simply deconditioned. This means that they should respond in the same way to exercise as healthy sedentary controls who are deconditioned because they don't do exercise or physical work and activities. Let's keep that in mind and have a look at the largest CBTplus and GET trial for ME/CFS, the PACE trial (n = 641) (White et al., 2011), and its GET group, in particular. The 160 participants in that group were exercising 5 days a week for up to 30 min per day for 24 weeks. If there would be no underlying disease, and patients were merely deconditioned, then such an exercise regime would lead to a very substantial improvement in fitness. However, fitness did not improve (Chalder et al., 2015). Read more here>>

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

🌎🐋 A #WorldOrcaDay fact: orcas migrate vast distances through “blue corridors” – ocean superhighways that link feeding, breeding and resting zones, and are now under threat.

To protect them, we need safe, connected, climate-smart marine protected areas.

Thames Water wants to block campaigners from speaking out against them?! Enough is enough. The Government must renationalise this failing water company.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

(via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)
"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much. "We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve. "Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad. "Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them. "If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following: • Plant a tree. • Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail. • Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do. • Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it. • Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone. • Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something. • Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace. "Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."
