AIDS Day

World AIDS Day, designated on 1 December every year since 1988,[1] is an international day dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection and mourning those who have died of the disease. Government and health officials, non-governmental organizations, and individuals around the world observe the day, often with education on AIDS prevention and control.

World AIDS Day is one of the eight official global public health campaigns marked by the World Health Organization (WHO), along with World Health Day, World Blood Donor Day, World Immunization Week, World Tuberculosis Day, World No Tobacco Day, World Malaria Day and World Hepatitis Day.[2]

As of 2017, AIDS has killed between 28.9 million and 41.5 million people worldwide, and an estimated 36.7 million people are living with HIV,[3] making it one of the most important global public health issues in recorded history. Thanks to recent improved access to antiretroviral treatment in many regions of the world, the death rate from AIDS epidemic has decreased since its peak in 2005 (1 million in 2016, compared to 1.9 million in 2005)
History

Russian stamp, 1993
World AIDS Day was first conceived in August 1987 by James W. Bunn and Thomas Netter, two public information officers for the Global Programme on AIDS at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland.[4][5] Bunn and Netter took their idea to Dr. Jonathan Mann, Director of the Global Programme on AIDS (now known as UNAIDS). Dr. Mann liked the concept, approved it, and agreed with the recommendation that the first observance of World AIDS Day should be on 1 December 1988.[6] Bunn, a former television broadcast journalist from San Francisco, had recommended the date of 1 December that believing it would maximize coverage of World AIDS Day by western news media, sufficiently long following the US elections but before the Christmas holidays.[6]

In its first two years, the theme of World AIDS Day focused on children and young people. While the choice of this theme was criticized at the time by some for ignoring the fact that people of all ages may become infected with HIV, the theme helped alleviate some of the stigma surrounding the disease and boost recognition of the problem as a family disease.[7]

The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) became operational in 1996, and it took over the planning and promotion of World AIDS Day.[7] Rather than focus on a single day, UNAIDS created the World AIDS Campaign in 1997 to focus on year-round communications, prevention and education.[7][8] In 2004, the World AIDS Campaign became an independent organization.[7][8][9]

Each year, Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI have released a greeting message for patients and doctors on World AIDS Day.[10][11][12][13][14]

In 2016, a collection of HIV and AIDS related NGOs (including Panagea Global AIDS and The AIDS and Rights Alliance for Southern Africa) started a campaign to rename World AIDS Day to World HIV Day. They claim the change will put the emphasis on social justice issues, and the advancement of treatments like PrEP.[15]

In the US, the White House began marking World AIDS Day with the iconic display of a 28 foot (8.5 m) AIDS Ribbon on the building's North Portico in 2007.[16][17] White House aide Steven M. Levine, then serving in President George W. Bush's administration, proposed the display to symbolize the United States' commitment to combat the world AIDS epidemic through its landmark PEPFAR program.[18] The White House display, now an annual tradition across four presidential administrations, quickly garnered attention, as it was the first banner, sign or symbol to prominently hang from the White House since the Abraham Lincoln administration[citation needed].[19][20][21]

Since 1993, the President of the United States has made an official proclamation for World AIDS Day (see section #US Presidential Proclamations for World AIDS Day for copies of those proclamations). On 30 November 2017, President Donald Trump proclaimed World AIDS Day for 1 December.[22][23]

Themes
All the World AIDS Day campaigns focus on a specific theme, chosen following consultations with UNAIDS, WHO and a large number of grassroots, national and international agencies involved in the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS. As of 2008, each year's theme is chosen by the Global Steering Committee of the World AIDS Campaign (WAC).[7]

For each World AIDS Day from 2005 through 2010, the theme was "Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise", designed to encourage political leaders to keep their commitment to achieve universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support by the year 2010.[7]

As of 2012, the multi-year theme for World AIDS Day is "Getting to Zero: Zero new HIV infections. Zero deaths from AIDS-related illness. Zero discrimination."[24] The US Federal theme for the year 2014 is "Focus, Partner, Achieve: An AIDS-Free Generation".[25]

The themes are not limited to a single day but are used year-round in international efforts to highlight HIV/AIDS awareness within the context of other major global events including the G8 Summit, as well as local campaigns like the Student Stop AIDS Campaign in the UK.

Syed Mushtaq Ali

Syed Mushtaq Ali About this soundpronunciation (help·info) (17 December 1914 – 18 June 2005) was an Indian cricketer, a right-handed opening batsman who holds the distinction of scoring the first overseas Test century by an Indian player when he scored 112 against England at Old Trafford in 1936.[1][2] He batted right-handed but was a slow left arm orthodox spin bowler. He bowled frequently enough in domestic matches to be classified as an all-rounder but only occasionally in test matches.[3] Mushtaq Ali was noted for his graceful batting style and a flair which often cost him his wicket by being over-adventurous too soon in an innings
Career
Mushtaq Ali was the discovery of C. K. Nayudu who observed him at Indore at the age of 13 and helped to develop his cricketing skills.[5]

A Wisden Special Award winner, he scored four first-class hundreds in the 1936 tour. He was an opening or middle order right-hand batsman but hardly played international cricket mainly due to World War II. In total, he played in 11 tests. He made his debut in the test against England at Calcutta, 5–8 Jan 1934, and played his last test against England at Madras, 6–10 Feb 1952, at the age of 38.

Domestic cricket
Mushtaq Ali played extensively for regional team and private clubs when cricket was a young sport in India. He was not only a sporting legend, but a popular superstar of his time, and an icon for the younger generation of Indian youth. Combining with another legend, the cautious yet skilled Vijay Merchant, Mushtaq Ali's aggression and powerful stroke play formed a dynamic and legendary opening partnership for the team for years.

He played for Holkar in the National Championship for the Ranji Trophy along with other stalwarts like C. K. Nayudu. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 1964 and made a life member of the Marylebone Cricket Club for his contribution to the game. He died in his sleep, at the age of 90. He is survived by two sons and two daughters. The Indian domestic T20 series is named after him. Mushtaq Ali's son, Gulrez Ali, and his grandson, Abbas Ali, both played first-class cricket

He is currently ranked eleventh in Test batting and eighth in ODI batting rankings according to the ICC Player Rankings, having previously been ranked the best Test batsman. Root was part of the England squad that won the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[1]

He was originally a right-handed opening batsman and occasional off-spinner, with a similar playing style to former England captain Michael Vaughan. However, he has played the majority of his cricket for England in the middle order. He made his debut for England in the 2012 Test series in India and made his ODI and Twenty20 International debuts on the same tour, before scoring his maiden Test century at his home ground of Headingley the following spring against New Zealand.

On the occasion of England's 1000th Test in August 2018, he was named in the country's greatest Test XI by the ECB.[2]

Root followed in his father's footsteps by joining Sheffield Collegiate CC. Former Yorkshire batsman and England captain Michael Vaughan also learnt his trade at Collegiate and was a source of inspiration for Root, who became a protégé of his.[4][5][6] Root supports football team Sheffield United.[7]

Root became engaged to his girlfriend Carrie Cotterell in March 2016.[8] Their son Alfred William was born on 7 January 2017 and they married on 1 December 2018.[9][10]

After success at second team level, Root was given an opportunity in the first team in Yorkshire's final Pro40 match of the season at Headingley, against Essex. Root scored 63 and was top-scorer in Yorkshire's 187–7. Although his half-century could not inspire Yorkshire to victory, Root described his debut as a "dream come true".[13]

After another Man of the Series performance, this time on England Under-19 duty in Bangladesh, Root signed a three-year professional contract with Yorkshire.[14]

Root was selected for the Under 19 Cricket World Cup, in New Zealand, making an unbeaten 70 in a victory against Hong Kong as England progressed to the quarter finals before being eliminated by the West Indies. Later that winter, he was sent to the Darren Lehmann Academy in Adelaide, South Australia, to fine tune his game.[15]

In 2011, his Championship debut against Worcestershire at New Road in April was one of 15 matches he played that year on top of his England Lions debut against Sri Lanka A at Scarborough in August, a match in which he scored 66. His maiden Championship hundred was a 160 against Sussex at the same ground later in the month.

Root captained Yorkshire to the 2014 County Championship title and then helped them retain it the following year.[16]

England career
India: 2012–13
In the fourth Test against India, Root became the 655th player to represent England at Test cricket, receiving his cap from former England all-rounder Paul Collingwood. Coming in as the number 6 batsman rather than his usual position as an opener, he scored 73 from 229 balls, top-scoring jointly with Kevin Pietersen.[17] In the second innings he made 20 not out to help England bat out the game to secure a historic series win on Indian soil. Root finished the Test series with 93 runs.

Following the Tests, he made his Twenty20 debut in the second of a two-match series, although he was not required to bat, and following Jonny Bairstow's withdrawal, he was also included in the ODI squad.[18] On his ODI debut he was not required to bat, although he bowled nine overs, collecting figures of 0–51, as England won by 9 runs. He made scores of 36 and 39 in the next two matches, before making his maiden ODI fifty in the fourth match of the series, although England lost by 5 wickets. He made 31 in the final match of the series as England won by seven wickets. Root finished the ODI series with 163 runs.

He was named in the 'Team of the Tournament' for the 2016 T20 World Cup by the ICC.[19]

2013
Following the successful tour of India, Root was retained in the Test squad for the 2013 Tour to New Zealand and was added to the previously announced ODI and Twenty20 squads. After being an unused batsman in the third Twenty20 game, he started the ODI series with two half-centuries, contributing 56 in the first game before top-scoring with 79 off 56 balls in the second. In doing so, he became the first batsman to start his ODI career with six consecutive scores of over 30.[20] He followed this up by hitting 28* in the third ODI. He finished the ODI series with 163 runs.

In the first Test, Root batted at number 6. In the third Test he made 45 off 176 balls before being bowled by Tim Southee then made 29 in the second innings. The Test series ended 0–0 and Root finished the series with 88 runs.

Root's first involvement of the tour was to captain the England Lions against New Zealand in a four-day warm up match, where he scored 179 runs. After scoring 40 and 71 runs in the first Test at Lord's, he scored his maiden Test century at his home ground of Headingley.[21] He hit 104 runs off 167 balls and became the first Yorkshire player to score their first Test century at Headingley. He finished the series as England's top scorer with 243 runs and helped his side to a 2–0 Test series victory. In the ODI series that followed, he made scores of 30, 28 and 33 as England lost the series 2–1.[22]

For the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, England named Root in their squad of 15. He featured against Sri Lanka and hit 68 runs off 55 balls in England's 7 wicket loss.[23] Root then helped England to a 10 run victory over New Zealand by making 38 runs off 40 balls which helped them secure a place in the semi-final.[24] In the semi-final against South Africa Root scored 48 off 71 balls to help England to a 7 wicket win and secured a place in the final.[25] He was also named as 12th man in the 'Team of the Tournament' by the ICC
For the 2013 Ashes series, Root was named as the opening batsman to partner captain Alastair Cook after selectors decided to drop Nick Compton from the England squad. Root was promoted to opening batsman for the first Test and made scores of 30 and 5, and whilst bowling, took his 1st Test wicket when he got Ed Cowan out in the second innings.[27] Root started the second Test with a score of 6 which once again meant that he failed to make a score as an opener. However, in the second innings Alastair Cook did not enforce the follow on and Root made 180 before England declared. In the Australian final innings Root was responsible for taking the wickets of Usman Khawaja and Michael Clarke when both batsmen were on 50 plus scores. Root was named Man of the Match for his performance with the bat and the ball.[28] The third Test wasn't the best for Joe as he was out for 8 in the first innings but managed to get 13* off 57 balls in the second innings before rain brought the match to an end meaning that England retained the Ashes.[29] England won the fourth Test and won the series.[30] In the fifth Test Root top scored in England's first innings as he hit 68 runs, however in England's second innings they were chasing a score the Australians had set but Joe only managed to get 11 runs.[31] He finished the Test series with 339 runs and 3 wickets.

Root was selected to bat at number 4 for the first T20 International. The Australian side set England 249 to win thanks to an outstanding innings of 156 runs from Aaron Finch. Root came in with England 37/3 and he managed to score 90* off 49 balls but England lost by 39 runs.[32] In the second T20I Joe batted at number 7 but only faced 1 ball scoring 1 run before England's innings finished.[33] England won the match and drew the series, Root finished with 91 runs (both matches he was not out) and 1 wicket.

The third ODI was abandoned in England's 15th over, Root had made 12 runs before being caught.[34] In the fourth ODI Root was bowled for 0, his first golden duck in his ODI career.[35] The 5th ODI was better for Root as he scored a quick 21 before being bowled and also took the wicket of George Bailey.[36] England lost the series 2–1 and Root finished the series with 36 runs and 1 wicket.

2014

He was named in the 'Team of the Tournament' for the 2019 World Cup by the ICC. They stated that "England's run machine over the years, Joe Root was the glue that held their famed batting together through the tournament. The Yorkshire batsman finished as the fifth highest run-scorer of the tournament, with 556 runs from 11 innings. Root's flawless technique and ability to keep the scoreboard moving by rotating the strike and finding the boundaries when required makes him a perfect No.3 in this line-up".[74]

Captaincy
Following the resignation of Alastair Cook, he was named as his replacement and the full-time Test captain on 13 February 2017 as the 80th captain of England.[75] In his first match as the captain, on 6 July 2017, against South Africa at Lord's, Root scored his 12th Test century with an innings of 190.

Root led what was regarded as a comparatively weak English team to Australia for the Ashes series of 2017–2018, the urn being ceded by the conclusion of the third game of the series. Root's decision to give Australia first use of the Adelaide pitch in the second Test was questioned by some commentators, while others acknowledged that giving his bowlers first use of the ball in this day-night match may have given his team their best chance.[77] Perhaps a more telling criticism was that of Ian Chappell of the Australian television Channel Nine commentary team, who claimed that Root's captaincy was too defensive, more concerned with defending runs than taking wickets. The loss of the series led to media criticism.[78] Also, while Steve Smith and Virat Kohli both had better batting averages and top scores across ODIs and Tests after gaining captaincy roles, Root has poorer Test averages after gaining the captaincy as of 25 December 2017,[79] although this also coincided with his move from No.4 to No.3 in the England batting order.
