Remarks on Indian Independence Day - Aug. 5,
To the people of India, and Indian Americans all across the United States, I want to wish you a happy Indian Independence Day. On August 15, , men and women all over India, rejoiced in the declaration of the independence of the country of India. Today, on August 15, , I stand before you, as the first candidate for vice president of the United States, o f South Asian descent. When my mother, Shyamala, stepped off the plane in California at 19 years old, she did not have much in the way of belongings – but she carried with her lessons from back home. Including ones she learned from her parents, my grandmother, Rajam, and her father and my grandfather, P.V. Gopalan. They taught her that, when you see injustice in the world, you have an obligation to do something about it. Which is what inspired my mother, to march and shout on the streets of Oakland, at the height of the civil rights movement. A movement whose leaders, including Dr Martin Luther King Jr., were themselves inspired by the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi. And it was during those protests that my mother met my father – and the rest as they say, is history.
Growing up, my mother would take my sister Maja and me back to what was then called Madras – because she wanted us to understand where she had come from and where we had ancestry. And of course, she always wanted to instill in us a love of good idli. In Madras, I would go on long walks with my grandfather – who at that point was retired. And we’d take morning walks were I would hold his hand and he would tell me about the heroes who were responsible for the birth of the world's biggest democracy. And he would explain that it was on us, to pick up where they left off. Those lessons are big reason why I am who I am today.
Our community is bound together by so much more than our shared history and culture. The reason there is a kinship between everyone who was a product of the South Asian diaspora, Kenneth; Bak, Erica; Bakakos, Agamemnon; Bakar, Nazreen Abu; Bal, Andriy; Balakrishnan, Mohanaprasanth; Bani-Sadr, Firouzé; Barbalho, Renata; Barbosa, Nicholas Yuri; Barclay, Wendy S.; Deligiannis, Ionna; Dell&#;Amore, Andrea; Delmas, Christelle; Delobel, Pierre; Delsing, Corine; Demonchy, Elisa; Denis, Emmanuelle; Deplanque, Dominique; Depuydt, Pieter; Desai, Mehul; Descamps, Diane; Desvallée, Mathilde; Dewayanti, Santi; Diallo, Alpha; Diamantis, Sylvain; Dias, André; Diaz, Juan Jose; Diaz, Juan Jose; Diaz, Priscila; Diaz, Rodrigo; Didier, Kévin; Diehl, Jean-Luc; Dieperink, Wim; Dimet, Jérôme; Dinot, Vincent; Diop, Fara; Diouf, Alphonsine; Dishon, Yael; Djossou, Félix; Docherty, Annemarie B.; Dondorp, Arjen M; Dong, Andy; Donnelly, Christl A.; Fakar, Zul; Faria, Pedro; Farooq, Ahmed; Farshait, Nataly; Fateena, Hanan; Fatoni, Arie Zainul; Faure, Karine; Favory, Raphaël; Fayed, Mohamed; Feely, Niamh; Fernandes, Jorge; Fernandes, Marília; Fernandes, Susana; Ferrand Devouge, Eglantine; Ferrand, François-Xavier; Ferrão, Joana; Ferraz, Mário; Ferreira, Benigno; Ferreira, Sílvia; Ferrer-Roca, Ricard; Ferriere, Nicolas; Ficko, Céline; Figueiredo-Mello, Claudia; Fiorda, Juan; Flament, Thomas; Flateau, Clara; Fletcher, Tom; Florio, Letizia Lucia; Flynn, Brigid; Foley, Claire; Fomin, Victor; Fonseca, Tatiana; Fontela, Patricia; Forsyth, Simon; Foster, Denise; Foti, Giuseppe; Fourn, Erwan; Fowler, Robert A.; Fraher, Dr Marianne; Franch-Llasat, Diego; Fraser, Christophe; Fraser, John F.; Greenhalf, William; Greffe, Segolène; Grieco, Domenico Luca; Griffee, Matthew; Griffiths, Fiona; Grigoras, Ioana; Groenendijk, Albert; Grosse Lordemann, Anja; Gruner, Heidi; Gu, Yusing; Guarracino, Fabio; Guedj, Jérémie; Guego, Martin; Guellec, Dewi; Guerguerian, Anne-Marie; Guerreiro, Daniela; Guery, Romain; Guillaumot, Anne; Guilleminault, Laurent; Guimarães de Castro, Maisa; Guimard, Thomas; H I absolutely live and breathe travel and I love to write about my experiences! Please take a look through my posts - you might find your own holiday inspiration. 08 September Last week, we spent a few days enjoying a short round trip Mediterranean cruise between Barcelona and Sardinia aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s ship, The Epic. Flying with British Airways from Heathrow, we boarded the boat in Barcelona in the late afternoon, spent the following day at sea, before arriving into the port capital of Sardinia, Cagliari, at dawn on day three. We disembarked the ship for the day, heading off to visit Nora, one of the best kept archaeological sites on the island, on an organised tour. That evening, the ship left Cagliari, sailing back into the Mediterranean. Day four of our trip was another ‘sea day’ before we arrived back into Barcelona’s cruise ship port on the morning of day five. From there, we made the short journey to the airport to catch our return flight to London. Although it was a quick trip, this cruise was a great opportunity to get back into traveling internationally (it’s our first overseas holiday since January ) and was long enough to sample the hospitality available on The Epic. We had been concerned that with all the new requirements brought about by COVID (vaccination certificates/test result confirmations/passenger locator forms) that something was bound to go wrong - especially on such a short multi-country/multi-transport cruise ship holiday. However, we were pleasantly surprised at how well-organised Norwegian Cruise Lines and British Airways were. All the transfers were seamlessly handled, embarkation and disembarkation from the ship were very smooth, and onboard COVID testing (performed by a professional, third-party supplier) was very well-handled (all passengers were tested for COVID during embarkation in Barcelona and at sea on day four of our sail). There are a number of advantages to cruising as o Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a public health priority in Latin America. While the burden of HIV is historically concentrated in urban areas and high-risk groups, subnational estimates that cover multiple countries and years are missing. This paucity is partially due to incomplete vital registration (VR) systems and statistical challenges related to estimating mortality rates in areas with low numbers of HIV deaths. In this analysis, we address this gap and provide novel estimates of the HIV mortality rate and the number of HIV deaths by age group, sex, and municipality in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico. We performed an ecological study using VR data ranging from to , dependent on individual country data availability. We modeled HIV mortality using a Bayesian spatially explicit mixed-effects regression model that incorporates prior information on VR completeness. We calibrated our results to the Global Burden of Disease Study All countries displayed over a fold difference in HIV mortality between municipalities with the highest and lowest age-standardized HIV mortality rate in the last year of study for men, and over a fold difference for women. Despite decreases in national HIV mortality in all countries—apart from Ecuador—across the period of study, we found broad variation in relative changes in HIV mortality at the municipality level and increasing relative inequality over time in all countries. In all six countries included in this analysis, 50% or more HIV deaths were concentrated in fewer than 10% of municipalities in the latest year of study. In addition, national age patterns reflected shifts in mortality to older age groups—the median age group among decedents ranged from 30 to 45 years of age at the municipality level in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico in Our subnational estimates of HIV mortality revealed significant spatial variation and diverging local COVID clinical data partners
