Gwen, the housekeeper, is hiding a typewriter and is taking typing and stenography classes.
His manager has told Mr. Carson that she has a typewriter. She then defends herself, explaining that she would like to become a secretary. This creates tension in the group of maids.
The one with the limp leg goes to buy a prosthesis to be like the others but it causes him a lot of pain.

I stopped watching the episode because I find the series too boring. This series is about following the life of a family. Nothing exciting or surprising happens.

It is advisable to start a compost but it attracts rats.
Another person is trying to raise awareness by giving lectures. They try to get people to live in connection with nature. For this, he talks about the food that is given by nature. He says that this is a way to interest everyone.
Also, you have to use technology to inform people. For example, there is a platform that raises awareness among children. They encourage them to record the time of sunrise and sunset with their parents so they can see the cycle of life.
A climate activist says that it's good to recycle and take secondhand, but it's not enough. People need to be more engaged and become climate activists too.
The podcast was interesting but I found that there is a lack of concrete advice. For example, they talk about the rat problem but they don't say how to fight against rats in the compost.

It is advisable to change your habits. But the problem is that we forget to tell people that it's complicated and that it brings emotional discomfort to stop unhealthy habits and for healthy ones. So people tend to stop and think that they have done something wrong if they don't know it.
Also, the person says that having a deep connection with someone doesn't mean you're going to spend your whole life with them. People are there to teach us lessons.
Finally, we need to improve our listening skills by repeating the last word they said and trying to understand the meaning behind what people say.
Also, we need to be more compassionate towards ourselves, to learn to put things into perspective when we have not achieved all our tasks.

The podcast was interesting. It challenges my way of seeing things. I have indeed tried to change my habits several times and failed, then stopped because it was exhausting. I didn't realize that this was part of the process.
I think that this way of looking at relationships avoids a lot of disappointment and helps with the acceptance of a relationship ends.
However, I didn't understand the connection with finding more gratitude. It should have been explained more clearly.

There is a fentanyl epidemic in the United States. More and more people are dying from taking the drug. It is so common that people have become accustomed to hearing that a friend's or colleague's son or daughter has died because of it. Fentanyl is 100 times more powerful than morphine and the effect is very fast. Many people have been found dead with the needle still stuck in their skin.
Many people use it without knowing it. The drug is cheap and easy to get. Many dealers mix it with other drugs without knowing how much fentanyl they have put in.
The authorities fighting it with Naloxone. This is a product that reverses overdoses of the drug. They also distribute strips to detect the substance.

Group A Streptococcus is a bacterium that has caused the death of several children in England.  The bacteria can cause sore throats, skin rashes, and scarlet fever, ... This is not very serious but the bacteria can also enter the bloodstream and cause death by inducing, for example, necrotising pneumonia or toxic shock syndrome.
The bacteria are transmitted through coughing and contact with a wound even if the person transmitting the bacteria is not ill. However, transmission is more important when the person is ill.
Antibiotics are used against this bacteria.

The speaker advises us to talk to new people or old friends because those around us tend to have the same information as we do. They advise us to go through our social networks and to contact people that we haven't spoken to for a while.
Also, if there's something you want, you have to fight for it because you don't want to be the person who didn't dare in 30 years. However, you must not forget to have a second plan in case it doesn't work.
You have to keep in mind that a successful career is not only about achieving a lot but also about being nice to the people around you because a talented and nice person is the dream person to work with.

This is the story of a woman called Anna who works in a restaurant and got fired by her boss in exchange for a large sum of money. She could have used the money to pay her debts but seeing her two daughters unhappy and no longer talking to her, she decides to use it to travel. Lily, the youngest, is being bullied at school and Chloe, a teenager who always chooses the wrong boyfriends. So they go on a camping-car trip to Scandinavia. During this trip, they went from town to town. Their relationships improved and they met a lot of people, including a man who became the mother's partner. He has a young autistic boy who became Lily's friend.
I really liked this book because I found the characters very nice. Lily made me laugh several times with her little jokes. I also really enjoyed their journey. It's an experience I would like to live one day. Also, it was an easy-to-read book, ideal to relax.

Over the years, type 2 diabetes is increasingly understood by scientists and many drugs are available to manage the disease. However, more and more people are suffering from this disease and no solution is found. The patients are also getting younger and younger.

The causes of this seem to be economic, social and environmental. Indeed, it is difficult to find food that is low in sugar, healthy, cheap and close to everyone.

Over the past 50 years, medical advances have led to a more sophisticated understanding of the causes of Type 2 diabetes and to an abundance of new tools for managing it. But better treatments have done little to stem the rise of the disease.

One in seven American adults has Type 2 diabetes now, up from one in 20 in the 1970s. Many teenagers are developing what was once considered to be a disease of older people; 40 percent of young adults will be diagnosed with it at some point in their lives.

Researchers who study Type 2 diabetes have reached a stark conclusion: There is no device, no drug powerful enough to counter the effects of poverty, pollution, stress, a broken food system, cities that are hard to navigate on foot and inequitable access to health care, particularly in minority communities.

"Our entire society is perfectly designed to create Type 2 diabetes," said Dr. Dean Schillinger, a professor of medicine at University of California, San Francisco. "We have to disrupt that."

Dr. Schillinger and nearly two dozen other experts laid out a road-map for doing so earlier this year in a comprehensive national report to Congress on diabetes, the first of its kind since 1975.

It calls for reframing the epidemic as a social, economic and environmental problem, and offers a series of detailed fixes, ranging from improving access to healthy food and clean water to rethinking the designs of communities, housing and transportation networks.

"It's about massive federal subsidies that support producing ingredients that go into low-cost, energy-dense, ultra-processed and sugar-loaded foods, the unfettered marketing of junk food to children, suburban sprawl that demands driving over walking or biking - all the forces in the environment that some of us have the resources to buffer ourselves against, but people with low incomes don't," Dr. Schillinger said.

"We feel impotent as doctors because we don't have the tools to tackle the social conditions people are grappling with," he added.

The report, issued in January, calls for setting up a national policy office to roll out a far-reaching strategy to prevent and control diabetes. The document also pushes for a greater involvement of federal agencies, like those regulating housing and urban growth, that may seem to have little to do with health but could play a role in reducing the spread of the disease.

The recommendations are intended to tackle the so-called social determinants of health, said Felicia Hill-Briggs, vice president for prevention at Northwell Health.

"When we move beyond thinking of health as just biological disease, then we're able to see that the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live and age play a very, very key role in influencing who gets disease and what the outcomes of the disease are," Dr. Hill-Briggs said.

"Being born into poverty should not determine whether you have access to food, or green space, or an educational system that works."

Each patient with Type 2 diabetes faces a cascade of risks, including painful nerve damage, vision loss, kidney disease and heart disease, as well as foot and toe amputations. (Type 1 diabetes, once called juvenile diabetes, carries many of the same risks but is believed to be an autoimmune condition.)

As of 2019, more than 14 percent of Native American and Alaska Native adults had diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The figure for Black and Hispanic adults was about 12 percent, compared with 7.4 percent for white adults.

Maria Garcia, a 58-year-old restaurant worker in San Francisco, developed Type 2 diabetes after a pregnancy almost 30 years ago. She has developed numerous complications over the years, including digestive problems, vision loss and nerve damage so severe that she has trouble walking. At night, her legs feel as if they were "on fire," she said.

She has given up sweetened soda but said she can't afford to purchase healthy foods like lean meat, fish and vegetables on a regular basis. It was very different in the small village in Mexico where she was born, she recalled.

"Fresh food was really cheap, and sweets and candies were expensive," she said, adding, "We walked everywhere, even just to go to the store."

Many of the recommendations now urged by diabetes researchers are both politically unpalatable and costly. But they could save money in the long run: One in four health care dollars goes to treat diabetes, and that costs the nation $237 billion annually (most of it paid for by government health plans), along with $90 billion in reduced productivity.

Among the proposals:

Subsidies for farmers to grow healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and nuts in order to make them more affordable.

Paid maternity leave for working mothers so they can breastfeed, a practice associated with a lower risk of obesity and Type 2 diabetes for both mother and child.

Clear guidance from the government about the strong link between sugar-sweetened beverages and Type 2 diabetes. Almost one in 10 nutrition-program dollars is spent on sweetened drinks, and the researchers recommend that government programs no longer pay for them.

Improved nutrition labels that specify the amounts of sugar in drinks in teaspoons, a measure that consumers can easily grasp, rather than grams. A 16-ounce Starbucks frappuccino contains 11 teaspoons of sugar; a 16-ounce bottle of Snapple raspberry ice tea has nine teaspoons.

The report also proposes hefty taxes of 10 percent to 20 percent on the price of sugary drinks. The beverage industry has aggressively fought similar efforts in the past.

William Dermody Jr., a spokesman for the American Beverage Association, pointed to studies showing drops in the consumption of soda and other sugary beverages, not counting tea and coffee drinks. But taxes have had little effect on consumption, he said.

Even the American Diabetes Association prefers more public education about the risks of sugary drinks to taxes or "punitive measures," said Dr. Robert Gabbay, the association's chief scientific and medical officer.

The conflict between the food industry and researchers has raged for decades, but the fast-spreading epidemic of Type 2 diabetes has lent greater urgency to questions about improving what Americans eat.

Healthy, unprocessed food is more costly, which has led some providers to open their own free pantries so that patients with "food prescriptions" can pick up produce, beans and items like cans of low-sodium turnip greens.

The food pantry at Nashville General Hospital helps Arleen Hicks, 59, who is unemployed and has diabetes, prepare healthy dinners. For her first two meals of the day, she eats as cheaply as possible, usually knockoff toaster pastries that are filled with sugar, which she follows with two tablespoons of peanut butter to bring her blood sugar back down.

She knows that toaster pastries are not nutritious, but they're cheap. She lives on a monthly income of $607 and $100 in food stamps.

"I get coupons for them in the mail," Ms. Hicks said, as she picked up zucchini, tomatoes and easy-to-follow recipes at the hospital's food pantry. "This place has been heaven-sent."

Some of the concerns expressed by diabetes researchers have been addressed in recent federal legislation. The Inflation Reduction Act, for example, capped the co-payments that Medicare patients shell out for insulin at $35 a month and included $50 billion to strengthen the nation's drinking water and wastewater systems.

The report's authors also want to make it easier for patients and people at risk for Type 2 diabetes to take in-depth courses to learn how to manage and prevent the disease. Doctors often say that managing diabetes is like having a full-time job.

Loretta Fleming, 53, who lives in New York City, didn't know how to keep her blood sugar under control until she enrolled in peer education classes through Health People, a nonprofit, at a community center in her neighborhood in the Bronx.

"I saw dietitians and nutritionists at the hospital, but their education didn't match what I got from the program," Ms. Fleming said. Though the classes, she has learned to limit bread and sugary drinks and to check her feet every day for sores that could become infected. She has lost over 100 pounds and has also become a peer educator.

"I used to drink a three-liter soda every day," she said. "It was a ritual. I had to have my soda. So I had to get rid of that. I didn't know it was bad for me."

Downton Abbey is a domain where the Grantham family lives. The family comprises Lord Grantham, Lady Grantham, their son Patrick, and their daughters. The older one is named Mary. Also, maids take care of the family and run the house. There is Anna, the head housemaid, Miss O’Brien the ladyship’s maid, Mr. Carson the butler, Thomas the first footman, … and John Bates the new valet with a leg disability.

Patrick went on a boat with Mr. Grantham‘s cousin named Mr. Crawley. Unfortunately, the boat has sunk and the men seem dead because they cannot be found. Those men are the heirs of Mr. Grantham. So, the man is in a complicated position because the fortune he got from his wife and his domain will be given to a stranger when he dies because his older daughter, a woman cannot inherit. Unless he goes against the law that forbids his daughter to inherit the fortune and the estate but there is no way to make her have the title.

The duke came to the estate after hearing the news. He seems to have too much interest in Mary. Mr. Grantham has understood where this interest comes from and has warned the duke that Mary won't have more money. Suddenly the interest of the duke in Mary seems to have disappeared and we discover he has a relationship with Thomas. It was Thomas who has sent a telegram to the duke to inform him about the situation. Despite his loyalty to him, the duke doesn’t want to continue the relationship and he burns the letters they sent each other to be sure no one will find out.

My opinion about the episode is generally positive. I like the accent of the actors and the atmosphere of the series. But I do have some criticisms to make. The beginning was boring. The presentation of the characters was too long and the arguments between the maids were not exciting. I almost stopped watching to be honest. Finally, the episode ends with the arrival of the duke. His bad behavior is confusing. It is very interesting to watch and as I said I think that the introduction was long but it was necessary to understand.
