The director of the National Center of Addiction Medicine(SÁÁ) paid a hooker for sex. The sex worker had previously struggled with addiction and had been a client of SÁÁ. I honestly don't really care about anything of what happened, I just think its really ironic.

The now-former director of the National Center of Addiction Medicine (SÁÁ), Einar Hermannsson, resigned from his position last Monday, telling reporters that he had responded to an ad he saw and bought the services of a sex worker.

Win a signed copy of the new book by nature photographer RAX! Just sign up for our newsletter here before 1500 Icelandic time on Jan 28th, and answer the question in the next one.

However, Stundin was reached out to by the sex worker in question, who said that this was not the case. Sharing screenshots of her message history with Einar, she stated that she did not advertise being a sex worker, but had engaged in the practice through a dating site that anonymises users. Einar apparently learned of her through word of mouth, and contacted her through a page she created on Facebook.

Most damning of all is that the woman in question told reporters she had started sex work specifically to fund her drug addiction at the time, and would later become a client of SÁÁ. When she raised the issue with leadership at SÁÁ, where Einar was at the time a member of the board, no action was taken.

Stundin reports further that the Directorate of Health was made aware of the matter as well, in 2020. The Directorate, in response to questions from Vísir, said that they had no prior knowledge of this case, and were not contacted about it, neither formally nor informally.

The Root - Association on Women, Alcohol and Addiction released a statement on the matter yesterday, in which they condemned Einar's behaviour.

"Einar's violation against the woman is a gross abuse of power from the director of a social organisation that the government has trusted for about 40 years to attend to the bulk of health care services for people with addictions," the statement reads in part. "In this group are many of the country's marginalised people, and it is a case of immorality that has certainly affected Einar's work as chairman, despite his statement to the contrary. In few jobs do ethics have more value than in jobs for people with substance abuse problems and marginalised people."

For their part, the board of SÁÁ has condemned Einar's behaviour, and said that they will be holding elections for a new director this Friday.

Flores, currently a former NFL coach filed a lawsuit against them for racism and likens the environment like a plantation where rich white owners profit off the labor of young black men. He was offered money to lose by the Miami Dolphins owner where he coached last to get a better draft pick and did not like when his team was fighting for wins and ended up dropping to the 5th draft slot. He also said that when he was interviewing for a head coaching job, there was a General Manager and CEO of the Denver Broncos that interviewed Flores but showed up like an hour late and seemed to intoxicated, indicating that they were just interviewing a black candidate to get it over with because there is unfortunately a rule that teams have to interview at least 2 black candidates for the job. Also there is just one active black NFL Head Coach out of the 32 teams and Flores had back to back winning seasons but got fired this year from the Miami Dolphins.

ebruary is supposed to be the pinnacle of football excellence. Next Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals will return to the Super Bowl after 33 years behind second-year phenomenon Joe Burrow to play the LA Rams and Matthew Stafford, who has never been to the big game in his 13 years in the league. Keeping with the theme of football excellence, fans, players and the media will no doubt express gratitude to Tom Brady, who this week announced his retirement after 22 years in the NFL and had arguably the greatest career the game has ever seen.

Still, the magic of the moment is lost to myself and my Black colleagues. We watch our white counterparts rightly win praise for the success that they have earned. We Black coaches and players, on the other hand, have to fight twice as hard to get half as far. We saw it with Colin Kaepernick taking a knee to bring awareness to social injustice against Black and brown people, and subsequently being blackballed from the league despite leading his team to the Super Bowl just a few years prior. Colin hoped to highlight the fact that that though we are all created equal, we are not all treated equally, and that needs to change.

Now Brian Flores has taken up the same fight on the coaching side. Flores is suing the NFL over racial discrimination in an environment that he likens to "a plantation", with rich white team owners profiting from the labor of young Black men. Flores' lawsuit clearly struck a note and another Black coach, Hue Jackson, has come forward with his own allegations of discrimination (as well as claiming he was offered bonuses if his team lost).

In a league focused on statistics like yards, touchdowns, sacks, and interceptions it's easy to find numbers that back up Flores and Jackson's claims of systemic racism. The NFL's Rooney Rule states that teams must interview at least one minority candidate for head coaching vacancies. But, as Flores details in his lawsuit, these interviews are often undertaken with little chance of the minority candidate getting the job. The proof? When the Rooney Rule was instituted 20 years ago there were three Black head coaches in the NFL. Now there is one. More than a quarter of NFL teams have never even had a Black head coach. That includes one of the franchises named in Flores' lawsuit, the New York Giants, who have existed for nearly 100 years in one of the most diverse cities on earth.

It's incredible that such a rule - whether it is effective or not - is needed in a league where more than two-thirds of players are Black. The imbalance leads players like me to the conclusion that, as Black people, we are valued by the league when we put our bodies and health on the line as players. But as soon as we offer our minds and leadership as coaches we are cast aside. We, as Black people, can be all things: players, coach, and owner; though an NFL team has never had all three at the same time.

Having a leader with the same background and experiences as yourself is helpful. At the same time Black players are happy to play for white coaches if they are good leaders - no one could deny the skills of Bill Belichick, Andy Reid or Sean McVay. But we want to see that the NFL gives everyone the same chance of becoming a leader. The most significant currency in any sport, as with society as a whole, is opportunity. And as Black History Month starts, it appears that in the NFL if you're a Black coach, you're soon history.

Earlier this season, we got a peek into the bigoted conversations that happen off the field when leaked emails showed former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden and other NFL figures using racist, homophobic and misogynistic language. And take it from someone who played in the league: we can be sure that those emails were a small glimpse into the mindset of many in football.

When the next generation - my nephews or my future children - come to me and ask to play football, what will my reaction be? Will I be confident that whatever they put into the sport will be paid back? Or will I recoil and prepare them for the discriminatory and challenging road that a love of sports may subject them to? I find strength in the Black players, coaches, and people fighting to make the league a more inclusive place for all. Still, as with any movement, there needs to be allyship. Why are marginalized voices often asked to change systems of oppression that we did not create?

Looking back on my time in the NFL, I wish I had done more to fight for justice off the field, as I fought for my teammates on the field. But I have hope. I choose to believe that as brave men like Flores come forward that the NFL, which I love so much, will continue to grow. This is not the same league that it was at its founding when Black players were banned from competing in the 1930s and 1940s. And regardless of this particular dispute, it will not be the same league moving forward.

If you show up to play or coach and are qualified, respectful, hardworking, and team-oriented, you should be rewarded. I think we can all agree that we want to get what we have earned. I hope that as we lend our voices through essays, interviews, protests, platforms and donations, we can all agree on one thing: we as humans were all created equally and thus should be treated equally.

If you're a leader, you should have the chance to lead.

The timing of the Epstein situation wasn't a coincidence. My running theory is the Russians got Epstein's dead hand payload (surely pics, videos, flight logs, etc. - remember the news talking about his safe full of documents that we never heard about again) and then used it on the GOP versus it being just about the RNC hack. 100% speculative though. I can see a scumbag doing bad things to keep their crimes secret and save their role but I can't see them selling out American freedom. Pedophilic kompromat on the other hand. I mean think about it. You risk all of the above and you lose your freedom, likely for life, along with your own family, friends and a chunk of your fortune. Pedophilia evidence in hand would give someone complete remote control, especially over a public figure.

And also, they are protesting just by standing there still and watching everyone walk by.

I find it fascinating how he could be lost at sea for four days, just the feeling of being three in the freezing water at night alone, and maybe not getting to sleep. The thinking of not being able to survive these horrifying circumstances. For the family, thinking that their husband/father isn't coming home is a scary thought. All i can say is that people who get lost at the sea or other places and live to tell the story are very brave, and just anyone who gets lost.

Swept out to sea

Todd completed the training with his son Cooper and was keen to put what he had learned into action. Little did he know how soon he would need it.

"I got invited to go for a pre-Christmas dive with some other people that were on the course," he says.

"But I found myself separated from the other divers and being swept out to sea pretty rapidly to a point where I lost sight of the boat."

A few minutes later, Todd was speeding past the rocks at Sinclair Head - the last landmark before the water opens up into the expanse of the Cook Strait.

It was then that his training kicked in and he made a decision that may well have saved his life.

"I had this thought that I was going to ditch everything so I just had my flippers and wetsuit on and I was going to swim like crazy to get to that rock," he says.

"I decided pretty quickly that it was a stupid idea. If I'd have dropped my BCD, tanks and everything and swam for that rock and missed it, I wouldn't have lasted ten minutes - not in that ocean at that time."

So Todd decided to follow what he had been taught and kept his gear on, before dropping his weight belt, curling up in a rescue position and inflating his BCD.

"I thought, 'Well, I've got some pretty experienced people on the boat, hopefully they find me - they'll work out where I've gone with the tides or whatever'."

'People are going to judge me'

Ironically, skipper of the trip was ex-Navy ships diver Rob Hewitt, who has his own miraculous survival story.

Rob was remarkably rescued after spending four days lost at sea in 2006.
Read Rob's miracle story
"Now I'm seeing everything from a rescuer's lens, from their point of view," Rob says.

"The first thing I'm thinking is that people are going to judge me and I need to get that out of my head because it's not about me - it's about Todd, who's lost in the water.

"I knew we've only had a short amount of time so, within a few minutes, we made the decision to call a mayday.

"I was confident in the training that had been given by Dive Wellington but the seas were getting quite high, quite heavy.

"Then the police said, 'You need to go ashore so we can start taking reports'. And that was the hardest thing because now I knew what my crew felt like when they had to leave the scene."

It's a miracle

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter and three rescue boats - helmed by the Police, Coastguard and airport personnel respectively - were all sent out to track down Todd.

But it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"There were some ups and downs there watching the helicopter fly away and then come back again, and then being further and further away from where I was," Todd says.

"I honestly thought I was just going to curl up and spend the night in the Cook Strait." Any hope of finding Todd before the sun went down was fading fast. But then another aspect of his training led to a rescue that was appearing more unlikely by the second.

"I was watching the boats disappear, but I was holding up my safety sausage - which is an inflatable, bright orange thing," he explains.

"One of the police officers saw a little glint of orange out the back window of the boat, so they turned around, saw it was me and picked me up."

Todd was overcome with relief and joy - and he wasn't the only one. "The thing I remember most about that moment was how happy the police were," he says.

"It was twilight, they were running out of options and had been searching the shoreline, clearly for remnants of a diver or a corpse. So to find me about four miles out in the ocean, two days before Christmas - they were just ecstatic."

Back on shore, Rob and the rest of the party were just as relieved.

"We were in the police station and this officer came running in with a big smile on his face," Rob recalls.

"Then he comes running through and says, 'It's a miracle, we've found him'. I just sat there speechless. Being a survivor myself, I was just grateful I had some tools to help Todd and his whānau get through this."

The lovely Christmas that nearly wasn't

While Todd was fighting for his life, wife Kat Reweti-Russell and their children were blissfully unaware of the precarious nature of his predicament.

Rob had tried to contact Kat but she was at a Christmas party and wasn't answering her phone.

Ironically, Kat and her friends had seen the rescue helicopter flying back and forth over their heads and were wondering what was going on - it wasn't until later that evening she found out they were searching for Todd.

"I was quite emotional when I got to ED and saw him there with mild hypothermia," she says.

"Then my mind naturally went to the kids and how I would've been able to tell them if things had been bad.

"But my main takeaway was how grateful I felt to all the people who were involved in helping find him and then also how sad I felt for people who had lost their loved ones in the sea and weren't able to have the nice Christmas we did two days' later."

Turning around the sobering stats

Having fun in the wai is a way of life in our beautiful motu and we want all New Zealanders to enjoy everything our beaches, rivers and lakes have to offer.

But Todd is far from alone in getting into trouble. Last year we helped more than 38,000 New Zealanders recover from water-related injuries.

Drowning is the leading cause of recreational death in Aotearoa and, alarmingly, you are twice as likely to drown in New Zealand than you are in Australia.

On average, around one in four New Zealanders who drown are Māori.

"If we look at the stats for our Māori and Pacific fatalities in and around the water, diving and rock fishing are the number one cause," says Rob, who now helps save lives as a Māori k aihautū (leader) for Water Safety NZ.

I think this is very interesting, I also find this very surprising since most young people don't use Facebook a lot or even at all. For eighteen years the user base has been consistent, but now all the sudden it drops. I think the reason for the drop of users might be because of competition with other social media platforms like TikTok, Twitter, Instagram and others. Personally I don´t use Facebook at all and I like other social media platforms a lot more than Facebook.

Really? Has the world just become full of people killing their own family???? The child was only two days old and it is believed that the dad has murdered his two day old child and his own wife. This is not okay. Where is the world heading! I really hope that this is not true that the father killed his own child but the world is so cruel. They have still not found the baby and the father but hopefully they will find them both soon and that we will get some explanation about all of this!

A man is arrested for murder by the police because of powder leaves on his hands. The man had an alibi and told the police where he was at the time of the murder but they didn’t listen to him. The police interviewed him and asked him questions that had nothing to do with the murder. The irony of this article is that the police wouldn’t listen to him but now he is filling a lawsuit against the police for criminal conduct and they have to pay him money. I understand why the police arrested him but they should have listened to him and his alibi.

„Það væri svolítið mikið á Þórólf lagt að vera með tvo faraldra í gangi," segir Sigríður Óladóttir læknanemi.

Íslendingar hafa undanfarin ár verið Evrópumeistarar í klamydíu. Tölfræðin á þessu ári sýnir ekkert lát á útbreiðslu sjúkdómsins miðað við síðustu ár; það greinast um 2.000 á ári með sjúkdóminn.

„Eiginlega sama hvað erum við alltaf með metið. Umræðan um smokkinn er einhvern veginn þannig að það vanti upp á að litið sé þetta sem eðlilegan hlut. Umræðan verður svolítið neikvæð oft," segir Snædís Inga Rúnarsdóttir læknanemi.

„Fólk er kannski svolítið feimið við smokkinn. Síðan hefur nú verið heimsfaraldur í tvö ár og nú á allt að opna aftur, þá þurfum við kannski að passa okkur á klamydíunni aftur. Þetta verður minni grímur og meiri smokkar," segir Sigríður.

Næst á dagskrá hjá Ástráði, kynfræðslufélags læknanema, er að fara bæði í skóla og á meðal almennings með klassíska fræðslu um smokkinn.

Nota íslenskir karlmenn ekki smokka?

„Ekki nógu mikið alla vega. Klamydíusmitin og kynsjúkdómasmitin almennt eru bara að sýna okkur það. Það mætti bæta töluvert úr því," segir Snædís Inga.

„Það virðist sem traustið sé oft sett á aðrar getnaðarvarnir. Smokkurinn er náttúrulega óvinsæll fyrir þær sakir að það þarf fyrirhöfn," segur Sigríður.

Þetta gildir ekki aðeins um ungt fólk, heldur alla aldurshópa. Sárasótt og lekandi eru einnig að valda vandræðum; og þótt klamydía sé ekki stórhættuleg, er hún sannarlega ekkert grín.

„Hún getur valdið ófrjósemi og fyrir einstaklinga sem eru með píku eru einkennin svo lítil. Þannig að þú veist kannski ekki af því ef þú ert smitaður og þess vegna skiptir tjekkið máli, til að koma í veg fyrir það," segir Snædís.

USA support in case of war between russia/ukraine

How much support could the US give to Ukraine without risking war with Russia? Neither Russia nor the US is super stoked on open warfare with eachother since both sides take part in negotiations, but considering that war between Ukraine and Russia is not off the table, would the US halt itself by only giving Ukarine training/advice/equipment, or could the US logically send in troops on Ukarines behalf without risking a declaration of war fron Russia? Russia could always decide to deal with US troops as long as they can without declaring war, so as to focus their forces better, but how do you think Russia would react if US and Russian troops start killing eachother?

The US decision to deploy more than 3,000 US troops in Germany, Poland and Romania is a "destructive step" that makes it harder to reach a compromise over Ukraine, Russia's deputy foreign minister has said, as Moscow continues to build up its forces.

Alexander Grushko said the move by Joe Biden would "increase military tension and reduce scope for political decision", and would "delight" Ukrainian authorities, who would continue sabotaging the Minsk agreements "with impunity". The Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015 were designed to reach a political settlement in the east of Ukraine, including greater autonomy.

The US said on Wednesday it was sending 1,700 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to Poland, while a headquarters unit of about 300 from the 18th Airborne Corps will move to Germany and a 1,000-strong armoured unit was being transferred from Germany to Romania.

The move is in response to Russia's deployment of an estimated more than 125,000 troops within striking distance of the Ukrainian border, including nearly half of its available battalion tactical groups and support units.

John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesperson, said the US movements were " designed to deter aggression and enhance our defensive capabilities in frontline allied states. We expect them to move in coming days."

Vladimir Putin "continues to add forces, combined arms, offensive capabilities; even over just the last 24 hours he continues to add in western Russia and Belarus, and in the Mediterranean and the north Atlantic", Kirby added. "He has shown no signs of being interested or willing to de-escalate the tensions."

Meanwhile, the Nato secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, said on Thursday thatRussia had been moving 30,000 combat troops and modern weapons to Belarus in recent days, Moscow's biggest military deployment to the country since the end of the cold war.

The deployment included Spetsnaz special operations forces, Su-35 fighter jets, dual capable Iskander missiles and S-400 air defence systems, Stoltenberg said. "All this will be combined with Russia's annual nuclear forces exercise," he added. The term "dual capable", which Stoltenberg used for the Iskander missiles, is used to describe weapons meant for conventional and nuclear warfare.

The moves come ahead of a fresh flurry of diplomacy. On Wednesday Boris Johnson warned Putin in a phone call that any further incursion into Ukraine would be "a tragic miscalculation", according to Downing Street.

The Kremlin account of the call said Putin had complained that his demand for security guarantees had not been met and accused the Kyiv government of "the chronic sabotage" of the Minsk agreements.

On Thursday the Turkish president and wildcard of Nato diplomacy, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, will fly to Kyiv to offer himself again in the role of mediator between Ukraine and Russia.

The Erdoğan mediation proposal has not yet been picked up by Russia but Jake Sullivan, the US national security adviser, and İbrahim Kalın, the chief adviser to Erdoğan, spoke on Tuesday about their commitment to "deter further Russian aggression against Ukraine", according to a White House statement.

France's president, Emmanuel Macron, was also due to speak to Putin on Wednesday evening, their third conversation in less than a week. The German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, said on Wednesday night that he would meet Putin in Moscow "soon", without providing a precise date.

Scholz, who faces criticism at home and abroad for acting too passively over the Ukraine crisis, said "endangering the territorial sovereignty and integrity of Ukraine would come at a very high price" and that Russia was aware of this.

While the former German chancellor turned Russian gas lobbyist Gerhard Schröder has accused Ukraine of "sabre rattling", Scholz said he was not taking advice from his centre-left predecessor. "I didn't ask him for advice, and he didn't give me any," Scholz told the broadcaster ZDF.

Biden and Macron pledged to coordinate their response to the crisis in a phone call on Wednesday, while the French leader's office said he would be talking to Putin again on Thursday evening.

The decision to deploy US troops follows diplomatic efforts that have so far failed to deliver any progress in defusing the crisis.

The Kremlin claims it has China's support in the standoff - backing that would be demonstrated when Putin meets Xi Jinping in Beijing on Friday.

The Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte, was the latest Nato leader to visit Kyiv on Wednesday in a show of support, meeting the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy. After the talks, Zelenskiy said Ukraine was focused "only on peace", but that it had the right to defend itself.

Rutte said it was "essential for dialogue to continue" between Russia and the other players.

There has also been exchange of documents over the past few weeks between the US, Nato and Russia setting out their respective positions on European security, and a series of phone calls between the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, and the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov.

The US has suggested a number of areas for negotiation and possible confidence-building measures but has insisted there can be no compromise over Ukraine's right to join Nato. The alliance has also stated that is non-negotiable. Russia's central demand is for guarantees that Nato will not expand farther eastward.
