The United Nations Security Council passed a U.S.-drafted cease-fire deal aimed at halting eight months of bloody fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The draft of the resolution, which President Joe Biden approved, was finalized Sunday after almost a week of negotiations among members of the 15-member council.

Forgiving and Forgetting
by Dawn Pisturino
Whispers on the wind
Sent sweet bouquets and promises
Of unfulfilled desires,
Caressing resting embers
Into walls of wildfires
That shook my heart awake.
You called to me and said,
It’s time to join the living.
Your love is far from dead. . .

New findings from a US survey from Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) scientists concludes that 6.9% of US adults—or almost 18 million adults—have ever had long COVID as of early 2023, confirming the results of previous surveys.
AHRQ fielded the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) to a sample of 17,418 adults, which extrapolates to 259 million adults. The research was published late last week in JAMA.
A total of 8,275 respondents reported a history of COVID-19 infection, of whom 1,202 said they had long-COVID symptoms, extrapolating to 17.8 million (6.9%) of all Americans.
Across age-groups, women were more likely than men to report having long COVID (8.6% vs 5.1%). Young and older adults were less likely than adults aged 35 to 64 years to report long COVID, which the authors said may be due to younger people’s generally better health and high rates of COVID-19 vaccination and low COVID-19 rates among older people…

A blue carbon credit system is being piloted in Trinidad and Tobago. Led by the country’s Institute of Marine Affairs (IMA) in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the project aims to design a high-quality blue carbon credit scheme to improve the digital mapping, monitoring, reporting, and verification of ecosystem services. It also hopes to promote the management and ownership of natural capital in order to create practical opportunities for generating revenue and enhancing livelihoods.
Marine ecosystems — particularly tidal marshes, seagrass beds, and mangrove forests — absorb and store carbon within biomass and soils. Commonly referred to as “blue carbon” ecosystems because of their relevance to the global carbon cycle, these marine ecosystems provide climate mitigation benefits and a range of other ecosystem services that support coastal livelihoods and adaptation to climate change.
Studies have shown that mangroves absorb and store carbon at higher rates when compared to other ecosystems. As such, mangrove forests are among the most carbon-rich ecosystems in the tropics and some of the most efficient long-term natural carbon stores…
Mechelen/Malines, 2022
Prima dată când am văzut sau am crezut eu că văd Malines (în franceză) sau Mechelen (în flamandă) făcusem autostopul de la Bruxelles și cetățeanul care ne-a luat, pe colega de cameră și pe mine, ne-a lăsat la o răscruce, iar noi a trebuit să mergem pe jos până la așezarea cea mai apropiată care s-a întâmplat să fie Mechelen, am intrat în primul bar, unde se aflau câțiva aflători în treabă, și am întrebat cu un aer firesc în ce oraș ne găsim ?

După momentul de consternare al interlocutorilor, am primit informația, ne-am bucurat că am ajuns într-un loc istoric și am pornit să explorăm ceea ce credeam noi că e centrul, fără internet, fără ghiduri de călătorie, doar cu mult entuziasm…

A combined flu and coronavirus vaccine brings about a higher immune response to both diseases than when the vaccines are administered separately, a clinical trial has shown.
Moderna, the biotech firm behind the Spikevax vaccine used in NHS booster programmes, is trialling a two-in-one jab that can also protect from the flu. Initial results have shown it may be better at protecting against them than what is now being used.
The results showed that the antibody response in the participants brought about higher immune responses against flu and Covid-19 than when the vaccines were administered separately.
The company said they hoped the vaccine would be made widely available as early as next year.
