Celebrate World Hepatitis Day
Hepatitis is a disease characterized by the inflammation of the liver. There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E. These 5 types are of greatest concern because of the burden of illness and death they cause and the potential for outbreaks and epidemic spread. In particular, types B and C lead to chronic disease in hundreds of millions of people and, together, are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer.
Learn about World Hepatitis Day
World Hepatitis Day is an important day that increases awareness about this condition. It is no exaggeration to say that days like this can help save lives. After all, by increasing awareness, we could end up reaching one person who goes and sees a doctor, and that could be the difference for them!
This is even more so important when you consider the fact that there are nine in 10 people across the world that are living with viral hepatitis and are unaware. There is a lot of misinformation out there about hepatitis. There is even a stigma attached to the condition in some cases. However, there are different types of hepatitis, which impact people in different ways, and this is why raising awareness is so critical!
It is crazy to think that there are more than 290 million people across the world that are living with hepatitis C or hepatitis B and they don’t know about it! Lives are lost and people are infected without knowing because of a lack of information and the need to scale-up in terms of care, diagnosis, and screening. World Hepatitis Day is a day for us all to join together in this effort. There are some great charities, organizations, and individuals doing incredible work to help with this.
The History of World Hepatitis Day
In 2010 the World Health Organization made World Hepatitis Day one of only four official disease-specific world health days, to be celebrated each year on the 28th July. Millions of people across the world now take part in World Hepatitis Day, to raise awareness about viral hepatitis, and to call for access to treatment, better prevention programs and government action.
There was a group created called the World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA) which is a patient-led and patient driven non-governmental organization whose membership consists of 230 different organizations from 81 countries all over the world.
There are different themes every year for World Hepatitis Day. These themes are important because they help to coordinate the worldwide response to hepatitis. They also help to strengthen prevention, raise awareness on the different types of hepatitis and the way the diseases are spread, and much more. We definitely recommend taking a look at the theme for each year, as it helps to give you some direction on the different things that you can focus on when it comes to raising awareness, fundraising, volunteering, or anything else that you will be doing on this date. Some of the different themes that have been used over the years include: Prevention of viral Hepatitis. Act now. – More must be done to stop this silent killer. Hepatitis affects everyone, everywhere. Know it. Confront it.

WORD OF THE DAY
akrasia
MEANING:noun: The lack of will or self-control resulting in one acting against one’s better judgment.
ETYMOLOGY:From Greek akretes (powerless), from a- (without) + kratos (power, strength). Earliest documented use: 1806.
NOTES:A well-known experiment in akrasia is the Marshmallow Experiment which tested children’s ability to self-control for delayed gratification. Those who were able to wait for rewards tended to have greater success in life.
USAGE:“By better ordering your thoughts you become less susceptible to the weakness of akrasia, [Steven Nadler] writes in his latest book, ‘Think Least of Death: Spinoza on How to Live and How to Die’.”

If You Were Born Today, July 28:
Your manner is unmistakably warm, and you are an emotional, leading, and magnetic person. Creative fields work well for you. You are talented at bringing harmony to the world around you. While for the most part adaptable, you are also determined and quite organized. With loved ones, you might sometimes seem a little controlling, as you often feel you know what’s best for them. However, it’s not about needing to rule the roost. Rather, true care is behind it. You have a very strong sense of responsibility, which can at times lead you to worry a little too much. Famous people born today:
1866 Beatrix Potter, English children's author and illustrator (The Tale of Peter Rabbit), born in London (d. 1943)

Light the barbie!
For every pound of ground beef, add into a cup:
1/4 c. water
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder
1 t. parsley
1/2 t. rosemary
1 t. sea salt
1/2 t. black pepper
(1/8 t. Asian mushroom seasoning – natural umami, that wonderful fifth flavour)
Mix this together well, then splash over your beef, and mix with your hands until well incorporated throughout. Pat burgers into rounds and grill.
I mix this up and keep it in a jar and just use 1-1/2 T. whenever I am making burgers.
If you want to make your own mushroom seasoning for umami, just put a few different mushrooms onto a cookie sheet and put it in your oven overnight on its lowest setting. The next day when the mushrooms are completely dehydrated, grind them into powder using an electric spice mill. I keep this in an Ikea spice mill (a grinder jar for pepper corns and coarse salt) and use it in everything. The mushrooms’ power to enhance taste is the inspiration for synthetic MSG, but without the headaches, it enhances flavours without changing them. It becomes quite addictive. You can also buy the brown powder at quality Asian grocery stores.

Meet Tom Daley, Olympian and Knitter
Tom Daley is best known as a member of the British Olympic team, who recently won gold with Matty Lee in synchronized diving.
When practices and meets were curtailed in 2020, Daley found himself with a lot of time on his hands and took up knitting, and, later, crochet. He started an Instagram account where he shares his makes, and has even released a pattern for a crocheted granny square jumper that’s sold on Love Crafts as a benefit for a brain tumor research charity.
In an interview with Rowan Yarns he said his first project was a knit scarf for his mum, and while he likes the ease of shaping and adjusting sizes in crochet, he prefers the look of knitting.
He’s been quite prolific in his year and a half as a stitcher, making sweaters, toys, baby things, even a crocheted cat couch.
He said in that post he planned to take his knitting to Tokyo, and he posted the adorable medal cozy he made for his new hardware on Instagram. We wish him and all crafty Olympians well in the Games!
