TEXT I
IS BURNOUT REAL?
Last week, the World Health Organization upgraded Burnout from a “state” of exhaustion to “a syndrome” resulting from “chronic workplace stress” in its International Disease Classification. That is such a broad definition that it could well apply to most people at some point in their working lives. When a disorder is reportedly so widespread, it makes me wonder whether we are at risk of medicalizing everyday distress. If almost everyone suffers from Burnout, then no one does, and the concept loses all credibility.
By Richard A. Friedman
I'm sure the author's generation also experienced workplace stress. However, his generation also experienced real economic stability and socioeconomic gains. There was a light at the end of the tunnel. Currently, we are working tirelessly towards what ends? There doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. The Burnout is psychological and existential as much as it is physical.

Life with the ‘ugliest’ dog-turned Hollywood star
The transformation of Britain’s “ugliest” dog into a Hollywood star has been unexpected and “surreal”, her owner has said.
Peggy is appearing alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the latest Marvel superhero film, Deadpool & Wolverine.
The five-year-old pugese – a pug and Chinese crested cross – was cast as “Dogpool” after finding fame last year when she was crowned the ugliest pooch in a national contest.
Recalling the past 18 months, Peggy’s owner Holly Middleton, from East Yorkshire, said: “Not in my wildest dreams did I
think anything like that would have ever happened”.
“When we submitted her picture [to the ugly dog competition], I didn’t think it would get to the heights it did,” she added.
“I didn’t think that’d be as big a deal as it was.”
However, despite amassing “a massive fan base”, Mrs Middleton said Peggy was not displaying any “diva behaviour” at home.
On the contrary, the usually “reserved and lazy” pugese had gained “a bit more confidence” from the trainer who was tasked with looking after her during production of Deadpool & Wolverine.
“She’s still just plain old Peg”, said Mrs Middleton.
The 37-year-old make-up artist said the family had missed Peggy when she was away filming.
“It was really, really strange not to have her here”, her owner said. “I’ve got two boys and they missed her terribly.
“We didn’t tell them where she was. Everything had to be kept quiet.
“I’m glad she’s back. We missed her.”
Watching Peggy making her debut at a premiere in New York and being held on the red carpet by Hollywood A-listers was
“surreal”, Mrs Middleton said.
“I loved it. Peggy looked really comfortable the entire time, as probably most people would being cuddled by Ryan Reynolds.
“They seem to really, really love her and they’re so gentle with her, and you can see... they’re giving her kisses and giving
her little rubs on her head.
“I just loved every second of it. I loved seeing her up there doing her thing.
“She just looked so chilled and so happy.”
Mrs Middleton said there were no plans at present for future film roles and Peggy was content with chilling at home.
“First and foremost, she is a family pet”, she added. “There’s nothing she likes more than either cuddling with us on the
couch, or snuggling in her bed.”
Despite Peggy’s global recognition, Mrs Middleton said she was “the same as every other dog that gets walked in the
village” – though she “absolutely loves” attention and had become accustomed to turning people’s heads.
“When I read comments online, they’re all very positive and very much in favour of Peggy, saying how beautiful she is.
“Before all of this, just the way she looks she would get attention, but it was usually people sort of nudging each other and
whispering, ‘Oh, what’s wrong with that dog’.
“So since everything’s happened, the public perception of Peggy, and whether she’s beautiful, ugly, or whatever has definitely changed for the better.”

Then-vice president Joe Biden once said “it’s easy being vice president, you don’t have to do anything”. Others who have
held the office have spoken of it in similar terms. Yet, in recent decades, the vice president has come to take an influential role
on certain policy issues, and particularly on foreign policy.
Typically, a vice president can serve as an advisor and confidant to the president, and be charged with overseeing particular
issues, as Kamala Harris initially was for the Biden administration’s immigration response. Prior to her, George W Bush’s vice
president, Dick Cheney, led much of the administration’s efforts related to the War on Terror; then-Vice President Joe Biden led
critical Obama administration’s foreign policy initiatives ranging from Latin America to Iraq; and Vice President Mike Pence
made trips reassuring US allies and partners overseas and delivered speeches during the Trump administration that gave
strategic clarity to the administration’s actions.
On no account should the position of vice president be seen that way during campaigning, just because one running for
the presidential position might, and will be, beaten if the vice president candidate is not convincing enough, especially if that is
the sort of politician who used to abhor the current running mate.
