Focus on Eldercare's response to COVID-19
At the purpose when the noxious impacts of COVID-19 showed first in Wuhan, the entire city and therefore the entire of Hubei Province ground to a halt. The lockdown of Wuhan brought remarkable torment and threatening difficulties for several individual occupants therein first focus. Presently, COVID-19 represents those equivalent difficulties for individuals and social welfare frameworks all-inclusive. Especially, it tests our aggregate endeavors to believe one another, particularly the foremost defenseless among us.
As a populace, individuals quite 70 will generally have more fragile insusceptible frameworks and progressively fundamental conditions that obstruct their capacity to battle the infection. They're likewise sure to dwell on bunch day to day environments, nearby people. Floods of COVID-19 passings in nursing homes — first within the Seattle territory, at that time on the brink of Sacramento and now during the country — have underscored this inauspicious reality. Up until now, Californians quite 65 have made up, at any rate, a fourth of the state's affirmed instances of COVID-19.
Be that because it may, guidelines, especially for helping living offices, are unsafely failing to satisfy the expectations in protecting California's older folks from this infection. Luck, Gov. Gavin Newsom's plan on Aging activity, as of now ongoing, presents an opportunity to forcefully address this peril and find how to secure an enormous number of more seasoned Americans.
Helped living focuses are an aid to the Eldercare business and therefore the enormous corporate proprietors that currently command the market. Simultaneously, in any case, an absence of guideline and oversight of staffing levels and capabilities — particularly prerequisites for on-location doctors and much prepared clinical experts — has left the business defenseless against misuse and unfortunate results. One glaring issue that has got to be tended to: helped living focuses are directed by the state Department of Social Services rather than the Department of Public Health.
In any case, it helped to measure maybe a piece of social welfare and clinical consideration conveyance framework, not only a direction for living. Propelled a year ago, Newsom's plan on Aging has framed a warning advisory group, is holding open gatherings and within the fall is planned to offer a 10-year plan which will address issues from lodging and vagrancy to crisis readiness to manhandle and disrespect. The venture has made a "Value Committee" to urge a contribution from a progressively differing gathering of residents and associations, including agents of the crippled network, Native Americans and other ethnic minorities.
Considering the spreading coronavirus general wellbeing emerging, it's basic that the representative's plan on Aging takes on an expansive and genuine open arrangement job. We weren't bothered with elevated level clichés for tending to the wants of the old. We'd like solid arrangements, solid guidelines with implementation teeth and a guarantee to continued oversight.
The Age of COVID-19
Older people who get themselves out of the blue alone without authority over their conditions are at specific hazards for an assortment of serious, even hazardous, physical and psychological well-being conditions, including a subjective decrease. Limitations on the opportunity of development ought to be proportionate and not founded solely on age.
COVID-19, as different irresistible melodies, represents a higher hazard to populaces that live in nearness. This hazard is especially intense in nursing or matured consideration offices, where the infection can spread quickly and has just brought about numerous passings. About 1.5 million older people individuals live in the nursing homes in the US, barring helped living offices and different settings making nearness.
Twenty-three individuals kicked the bucket in a flare-up at an office in Washington State in February and March, and the US Centers for Disease Control detailed 400 additional cases in offices as of April 1. On March 31, wellbeing experts in the Grand East district of France detailed 570 passings of older people in nursing homes.
Older people often end up in nursing homes due to governments' inability to offer adequate social types of assistance for individuals to live freely in the network, approaches that have put millions at included danger of getting the infection as a result of their organization. Governments ought to guarantee the progression of network-based administrations with the goal that individuals don't wind up in organizations without different alternatives.
Expound now on the roles played via care laborers in continuing the lives of the old during that emergency, and who, however dreadful themselves, by and by remain day in and outing inside the bounds of their wards to offer fundamental consideration.
Care supervisor Chang, the woman in charge of the consideration laborers among whom I led my hands-on work, coordinated the change of her ward into a self-sufficient fixed of a unit of care. The passage to her floor is carefully monitored; just fundamental conveyances are permitted, for instance, nourishment and clothing. Since nobody can enter or leave the structure, the flask for the older was transformed into a dozing region for care laborers. Despite the very fact that a lot of consideration laborers have their circle of relatives to require care of, they put that piece of their life under the control of others. Care specialist Lin, whose spouse died at the start of the pandemic, did not have the chance to completely grieve his passing due to incessant understaffing at Sunlight. She came back to figure following the burial service, despite realizing that she not, at now expected to figure at Sunlight to hide her significant other's clinical costs. Lin's arrival says much regarding her promise to her calling, to her colleagues, and to the old she had come to understand so well. My examination with care laborers recommends that it's an enthusiastic association and an awareness of other's expectations that propels them to remain the end of the day in care work. This is often borne out immediately.
Carefully add China is often seen as being grimy and unfortunate, thanks to an excellent extension to its nearby hook up with the realistic consideration required by slight, skilled bodies. Chinese consideration laborers are for the foremost part provincial to urban transients or urban specialists laid far away from previous state-claimed processing plants. In any case, direct consideration is intricate. In any case, its unpredictability goes unrecognized, or maybe disregarded by institutional powers that organize benefits and generalize the old as bodies to chip away at, to the disregard of their social-passionate necessities. As is valid with Sunlight, things which might typically undermine the keenness of care laborers, for instance, the absence of institutional acknowledgment for his or her enthusiastic work, are required to be postponed. Care specialists are currently centered around a shared objective: ensuring the gift assistance of the older. COVID-19 propels care laborers to consider what kind of care is required and the way to offer that care. It fills in as a channel through which the elemental beliefs of care are observed. Care is about common human weakness and our intrinsic association. Care laborers at Sunlight, in their aggregate every minute of everyday endeavors to secure the older, typify this ethic through their consideration. May the respectful regard, they hold of the older in their consideration redound on them and everyone consideration laborers overall who are fighting this pandemic on the bleeding edge!
Like the consideration laborers at Sunlight, the laborers in numerous nations are regarded human life so that we cannot be embarrassed to return clean with the leading edge about ourselves. Salute the spearheading staff who salutes our purposeful endeavors to handle the pandemic in numerous settings around the globe, within the daylight, yet additionally to ensure that veterans are appropriately treated, took care of and washed.
We all hope and pray that the coronavirus will soon be controlled and subdued. And that when the crisis is behind us, that we continue the important work of protecting the elderly and other vulnerable segments of our citizenry.

Journalist wears a gas mask during protests that took place after a Rage Against the Machine concert in Minneapolis.
Title: Mini Fashion Protest
Date: September 2011
Location: Somerset House courtyard
Medium: Cross-stitch on cotton
2. This was hung up to provoke people in the fashion industry to think deeply about the ugly side of the fashion industry and not just the beautiful clothes. There is huge inequality in this industry and with the use of sweatshops and the fast-fashion culture, we need to remember to think about whether we helping or harming the world we live in.
3. I chose to make this in cross-stitch on upcycled fabric and in a small size because often small and beautiful creations engage people more deeply than big and brash ones especially when it comes to challenging injustice in the world. It also fits with the fashion industry because of the use of textiles.
4. I'm motivated to be part of the solution to help fulfil the world's potential and not part of the problem. I think the world can be a wonderful place for all if we all thought about our actions and tried to be the change we wish to see in the world.
5. How do you choose your installation sites? Somerset House in London is the beating heart of London Fashion Week in September each year so I thought this Mini Protest Banner would have the most impact there.
6. Anything else you’d like to share with us about your artistic practice? Where do you see yourself going? How do you see your work evolving? Etc.
7. Can you recommend your friends/colleagues/other practitioners in your field, who create work you like or are inspired by? I'm inspired by the work Fine Cell Works does with prisoners, I'm inspired by Miranda July's www.learningtoloveyoumore.com project website. I'm inspired by anyone who uses their talents and passions to make the world a better place and serve others whether thats artists or teachers or anyone else.

A little light entertainment when the march came to a temporary standstill on Cambie Bridge, there were too many of us..
An estimated 5,000 people turned out for the march to protest the Kinder Morgan pipeline, which will bring crude oil and refined petroleum from the oil sands in Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia, presumably to be shipped to China. This will increase tanker traffic in and is a danger to our already threatened marine life in the Inside Passage, where two recent spills in two months have already occurred this year. An estimated 5,000 protesters joined the march, from the City Hall to the downtown library.

Château-Renault (Indre-et-Loire)
Donjon de Château-Renault, XIIe siècle.
Du Moyen-Age à la période classique, le site de Château-Renault passe aux mains de nombreux propriétaires : les comtes de Blois, la famille d’Orléans, les Dunois, les Longueville et la famille de Conti. Le domaine est érigé en marquisat au début du XVIIe siècle, sous la famille Rousselet*, dont le plus illustre représentant a été François-Louis Rousselet, vice-amiral de la marine royale et maréchal de France, et dont les armoiries ornent l’ancienne porte d’entrée du château. Au XVIIIe siècle le château devient la propriété du Comte Charles Henri d’Estaing* puis du comte Barrairon. Au XIXe siècle le site est la propriété de la famille Calmon*, qui en fait don en 1948 à la Ville de Château-Renault pour y établir l’hôtel de ville (1962).
Selon la « Chronique de Tours », c’est Renaud, petit fils du premier seigneur des lieux -Guicher de Château-Gontier-, qui donna son nom à Château-Renault (castrum Reginaldi) au début du XIe siècle*.
Vingt-quatre ans plus tard, le comte d’Anjou Geoffroy Martel*, victorieux à la bataille de Nouy* (août 1044), prend possession de Château-Renault et confie la place à Renaud II de Château-Gontier*. Entre 1064 et 1073, Guicher II, seigneur «héréditaire» récupère son château.
Après 1151, au décès de Renaud IV, sa fille Sybille qui est aussi arrière petite fille de Guicher II, épouse Josselin d’Auneau. Mais, elle était promise au fils de Sulpice II d’Amboise. Sulpice décide de se venger et pille et incendie la place. En seconde noce, Sybille épouse Thibaut V le Bon (comte de Champagne, de Blois et de Chartres) et fait ainsi entrer Château-Renault dans la maison de Blois. Vers le milieu du XIIe siècle (entre 1151 et 1163), Thibaut V fait bâtir le donjon que nous connaissons aujourd’hui.
En 1226, par son mariage avec Hugues de Châtillon, Marie, fille de Marguerite (comtesse de Blois et de Châteaudun), fait entrer Château-Renault dans cette famille. Hugues de Châtillon devient ainsi seigneur de Château-Renault.
Les Châtillons vont conserver la place jusqu’à la fin du XIVe siècle en y effectuant quelques modernisations. Le châtelet d’entrée (fin XIVe siècle) est le principal vestige de ces travaux.
La seigneurie est vendue à Louis de France, frère du roi Chrles VI, en octobre 1391.
Vers 1425, la place forte, est occupée par les Anglais qui y disposent d’une forte garnison. Â la fin du conflit franco-anglais (mars 1449), Jean d’Orléans, comte de Dunois et compagnon d’armes de Jeanne d’Arc, en fait l’acquisition.
Durant les guerres de Religion (1589), le château, aux mains des protestants, mais presque entièrement démantelé, est mis en défense par son capitaine dénommé Sahuet, qui creuse un profond fossé. Cette simple défense fera rebrousser chemin au duc de Mayenne qui préférera marcher sur Tours.
Les de Gondy, de Rousselet, d’Estaing, Calmon seront les familles propriétaires de Château-Renault du XVIe au XXe siècle (barons à partir de 1525 puis marquis à partir de 1620).
(Voir Marcel Deyres : Le donjon de Château-Renault page 56 à 61 - Archéologia n° 62 - sept 1973)
* La famille Rousselet devient propriétaire du château et de la seigneurie de Château-Renault en 1618, et érige le domaine en marquisat en 1620. L’un de ses représentants les plus célèbres, François-Louis Rousselet, a exercé son activité militaire au sein de la marine royale française de Louis XIV, en 1661 comme enseigne de vaisseau, puis capitaine, chef d’escadre, lieutenant général des armées navales, et enfin vice-amiral du Levant.
*Par son mariage en 1746 avec Marie-Sophie de Rousselet, Charles-Henri d’Estaing prend le titre de marquis de Château-Renault. Il exerce une carrière dans l’armée en qualité de mousquetaire. En 1759, il demande à servir sur mer, et commence sa carrière de marin avec une expédition dans le golfe persique. Il est promu lieutenant général des armées navales et participe à des revues d’inspections dans les colonies françaises aux Antilles, puis commande la marine du port de Brest en qualité de Gouverneur. Le roi Louis XVI le fait vice-amiral en 1777, avant de le désigner en 1778 pour partir combattre l’armée anglaise durant la guerre d’indépendance américaine. Il devient Gouverneur de Touraine en 1785 puis est nommé général commandeur de la garde nationale de Versailles. Il obtient la nomination d’amiral, avant d’être cité comme témoin au procès de Marie-Antoinette, puis accusé de conspiration et condamné à mort en 1794.
* Originaire du Lot, la famille Calmon devient propriétaire du domaine et du château de Château-Renault au début du XIXe siècle. Ses représentants sont issus de la haute administration.
* D'après la chronique de Tours , Renault , petit fils de Guicher Ier., qui mourut vers l'an 1020 , donna son nom à la place qui n'était connue que sous le nom de Château ; mais la grosse tour cylindrique ou donjon dont on voit encore les ruines , au haut du coteau qui domine la vallée voisine , ne date que du XIIe. siècle , car l'histoire nous apprend que Sulpice d'Amboise mit le siège devant Château-Renault , l'emporta d'assaut et brûla tout ,
hormis l'église, vers le milieu du XIIe. siècle.
Cette tour cylindrique est placée isolément sur une éminence conique ou motte dont les talus ont été consolidés par des murs construits avec soin. Elle était divisée en plusieurs étages ayant des cheminées. Les murs sont revêtus extérieurement en
pierres bien cimentées , de moyen appareil ; on remarque , vers la partie supérieure , un rétrécissement très-sensible résultant du talus considérable ménagé dans l'élévation de l'édifice. On avait même, je crois, placé à l'intérieur quelques assises en surplomb dans la partie supérieure des murs , afin de diminuer le diamètre du toit ou peut-être de former une voûte.
Le donjon de Château-Renault a été démantelé , l'ancienne (illisible) détruite ; on entre aujourd'hui par une large brèche (illisible) à peu près au tiers du cercle de la tour. L'enceinte du bayle a été défigurée en partie. Elle était assez
vaste; la porte d'entrée qui existe encore n'est pas sans intérêt,
mais je ne la crois pas du XIIe. siècle.

* Geoffroy II Martel, fils de Foulques III Nerra et de Hildegarde, est né à Loches en 1005. Voulant prendre la tutelle de l'Anjou par anticipation, il entrera en guerre contre son père, Foulques Nerra, qui sera vainqueur. Geoffroy Martel devra attendre la mort de son père pour prendre possession d'une vaste région couverte de forteresses. Geoffroy Martel a été excommunié pour les désordres de sa vie privée mais surtout pour le soutien qu'il apportait à Béranger de Tours alors que celui-ci était en conflit avec la Papauté. Geoffroy poursuit la même politique que son père vis a vis des comtes de Blois : enlever Tours aux comtes de Blois et les chasser de Touraine
* La Bataille de Nouy (1044) s'inscrit dans la longue lutte entre les comtes de Blois et d'Anjou. En 1044, Thibault III, comte de Blois est fait prisonnier par le fils de Foulques Nerra, Geoffroy Martel, qui remporte une victoire à Nouy (près de Saint-Martin-le-Beau). Pour retrouver la liberté, Thibault doit abandonner définitivement la Touraine aux Comtes d'Anjou.
* Renaud II est cité, comme son frère, dans la charte de Saumur. L'un et l'autre s'attachèrent aux comtes d'Anjou.
Geoffroy Martel, comte d'Anjou, après la conquête de la Touraine, dépouilla plusieurs de ses principaux vassaux de cette contrée. En particulier il dépouilla Guicher, possesseur d'un château et d'un domaine qu'il confisqua et céda à Renaud en 1044.
Renauld II imposa son nom au domaine et au château : "Castrum quod ejusdem nomine vocatur Castrum Renaldi". Il le garda jusqu'en 1066, époque où Guicher rentra en possession de son bien. En cette même année 1066, Renaud II laissa Château-Renaud pour se fixer définitivement à Château-Gontier. Pas pour longtemps.
Le mercredi Saint 4 avril 1067, Renaud II de Chateau-Gontier, Geoffroy de Preuilly, Robert le Bourguignon, et Girard de Montreuil-Bellay, pénètrent dans Angers. Ils s'emparent de Geoffroy le Barbu (neveu de Geoffroy Martel et frère de Foulques le Réchin. Les deux frères se disputent les possessions de leur oncle) pour le compte de Foulques le Réchin. Le lendemain, le jeudi Saint 5 avril, une terrible émeute de la population d'Angers, souleva la ville. Foulque Réchin ne put, ou ne voulut protéger ses affidés de la colère populaire, et Renaud II de Chateau-Gontier, Geoffroy de Preuilly, Robert le Bourguignon, et Girard de Montreuil-Bellay furent massacrés.

epa02554091 Egyptian protesters carry an injured young man during fresh demonstrations that erupted following Friday prayers in Cairo, Egypt, 28 January 2011. Violent clashes marked a 'Friday of rage' in Egypt, as anti-government protesters sought to emulate their Tunisian counterparts in a bid to bring down Hosni Mubarak?s 30-year-old regime. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities demanding more democracy, better living conditions and a new government. At least two protesters were killed and scores injured in what was being described as Egypt?s worst unrest since 1977. EPA/STR
A coalition of campaign groups gathered on 16th Feb 2013 at the Dept. of Energy and Climate Change on Whitehall to protest against ongoing excessive fuel price rises by the Big Six energy suppliers and proposed cuts in Winter Fuel Payments. Millions of poor, sick or disabled people are already experiencing extreme fuel poverty as they are faced with the stark choice of either eating or keeping warm, and deaths by hypothermia amongst disabled benefit claimants, pensioners and the sick have increased alarmingly as subsistence benefits are slashed by David Cameron's government.
Groups represented at the protest were UK Uncut, Fuel Poverty Action, Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC), Disabled Activists Network (DAN,) WinVisible, Greater London Pensioner's Association, Global Women's Strike and All African Women's Group.
As a grand finale the protesters set up a blockade of wheelchairs - one with someone handcuffed to a wheel - across one carriageway of Whitehall, disrupting Southbound traffic for over an hour before peacefully dispersing.
On 29 June, a second protest taking place at BBC Scotland headquarters in Glasgow, where the pro-Union Better Together campaign were given access to film an advertisement, looks set to attract a substantial number of those who remain dissatisfied with BBC coverage of the Scottish independence referendum. There’s a simmering anger that the licence fee designed by founder John Reith to escape corporate influence is instead funding a media institution which has become the mouthpiece of the establishment.
