Dietmar Roller

He went to University in Germany, Switzerland and the USA. He owns a master's degree in intercultural studies from the Columbia International University.
Roller's work priorities are conflicts minerals and their effects on the local population, in particular, illegal gold mining in Geita, Tanzania. This was followed by project assessments and evaluations in Kivu, Congo on coltan and cobalt mining up until today he helps NGO`s working in the Kivu region. His is an expert on the issue of Slavery through boundary labor as well as human trafficking for sexual exploitation.
Sind 2013 Mr. Roller is the Executive Director of International Justice Mission (IJM) Germany (www.ijm-deutschland.de). His international experience showed him the vulnerability of poor people in our world. Without a functional justice system, the poor are defenseless against injustice in most cases. This has also a huge impact on other approaches in development cooperation. This is what Mr. Roller wants to underline in the social and political discussion about the fight against poverty.
Apart from his occupation at IJM, Mr. Roller teaches development theories to master students of UNISA, South Africa. In addition, European NGOs ask him frequently for advice about conflict minerals and development approaches in extremely difficult situations.
Mr. Roller is one of the most profiled development experts in the matter of combining human rights and sustainable development in fighting modern days slavery and human trafficking. He is convinced that participation and empowerment of the target groups is possible in every situation, even in the most difficult human rights violations. However, it needed solidarity and support from the outside, for example from organizations as IJM. Together with the local civil society and sustainable development approaches, we can change the world to a better place.

15 Unlikely Celebrity Christmas Albums That Make You Go 'Huh?' (Photos)
From "The Three Stooges" to "Duck Dynasty" to Colonel Sanders… yes, the chicken guy
Rosemary Rossi | December 22, 2018 @ 6:45 PM	Last Updated: December 23, 2018 @ 5:50 AM
If you're looking for something a little different to listen to this holiday season, you've come to the right place. TheWrap has found some "interesting" options to your standard Sinatra, Buble or Mariah Christmas tunes that'll either have you singing along… or scratching your head.
Cleopatra Records
"Shatner Claus – The Christmas Album" William Shatner adds his comedic spin to 13 holiday classics, making them more like exaggerated dramatic readings then songs you'd hum along to. From a punk rock version of "Jingle Bells" to "Feliz Navidad" delivered with exclamation points, it's just about as entertaining as it gets… even if you're not a Trekkie. Reviews on Amazon go from "Life changing, comedy, and entertainment gold" to "Oh No No No."
Comedy 3 Entertainment
"Christmas Time With The Three Stooges" Yes, you read that right. The raucous slapstick trio originally cut a Christmas album in 1960. But if you're looking for "Silent Night" or "Little Drummer Boy," this album is not for you. Among the selection of songs is "Down Through the Housetop" (with wacky sound effects), "We're Coming to Your Home" and "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas." As one Amazon buyer wrote, it's "kind of obnoxious but the kids love it."
EMI Nashville
"Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas" Believe it or not, the Robertson gang from "Duck Dynasty" actually have some pretty good pipes. In addition to songs performed by special guests including Alison Krauss and George Strait, the Robertsons sing "Ragin' Cajun Christmas," "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "Hairy Christmas." By the way, in 2013, this album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Album chart.
"Christmas Eve with Colonel Sanders" Who doesn't like that old holiday tradition of listening to carols while unwrapping presents Christmas morning… while noshing on a bucket o' wings? Col. Harland David Sanders – the white-bearded old guy with the jolly disposition who is not Kris Kringle – released albums three consecutive Christmases starting in 1967. Offered at his restaurant chain KFC (then called Kentucky Fried Chicken), they were a compilation of popular artists at the time. Does the Colonel sing? No, not really. But he does rock a Santa hat like no other.
Charlemagne Productions
"A Heavy Metal Christmas" Christopher Lee – yes, the actor that played Count Dracula, a Bond villain and the baddest of baddies in "Lord of the Rings" and the "Star Wars" franchise – also has an operatic bass voice and is totally into heavy metal. No joke. Although there are only two tracks on this album ("Little Drummer Boy" and "Silent Night"), it's pretty cool… especially since he was 90 when he recorded it.
RuCo, Inc
"Christmas Party" – RuPaul The popular drag queen has three Christmas albums to his name: "Ho Ho Ho" (1997), "Slay Belles" (2015) and his latest, "Christmas Party," that was released in November. It goes without saying that the language is naughty in each track and the subject matter veers pretty far from the virgin birth of baby Jesus. Among the ditties, RuPaul's version of "All I Want for Christmas," which includes a request for cheek implants and buttock augmentation.
BMG Special Products
"Bonanza: Christmas on the Ponderosa" Who knew the Cartwright men from TV's longest running western series could carry a tune let alone actually have great voices? It's true. Lorne Greene (Ben), Michael Landon (Little Joe), Dan Blocker (Hoss) and Pernell Roberts (Adam) all show off their musical talents performing Christmas standards like "Deck the Halls" and "The Newborn King." You'll love it so much you'll shout "yee-haw!"
"The Night Before Christmas" David Hasselhoff is a triple-platinum selling pop superstar in Europe. Yes, the "Knight Rider" and "Baywatch" guy is a bona fide Elvis in Deutschland. That said, it was no surprise when in 2004, he released this Christmas album with songs like "Joy to the World" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman." But if you go, "What is he saying? I… I don't understand" when he sings "Silent Night," that's because he sings it in German. In other words, Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr.
Tom Wopat Inc.
"Home for Christmas with John Schneider and Tom Wopat" "The Dukes of Hazzard" bros teamed up for an 18-track album of Christmas tunes with a country twist, of which one Amazon buyer says, "How can a child of the 1980s not love this?" The good news is that both Schneider and Wopat can sing, and they do it well. In fact, they harmonize. On the flip side, they do a tongue-in-check version of "Baby It's Cold Outside" with a lyric rewrite to "Johnny It's Cold Outside." 'Nough said.
Geffen Records
"Christmas With the Brady Bunch" Greg, Jan, Peter and the whole gang gathered around the Christmas tree to deliver a potpourri of holiday tunes, including Bobby singing "The First Noel" and Marsha's take on "Away in the Manger." Those who grew up with the Brady kids will like the album for sentimental reasons, but one Debbie Downer on Amazon wrote, "This is what you get if you've been a bad little boy."
"A Rosie Christmas" Rosie O'Donnell enlisted a bunch of her superstar friends (including Trisha Yearwood, Elton John and Billy Joel) to join in ringing in the holiday season on this cheerful album. It features "The Magic of Christmas Day (God Bless us Everyone)" with Celine Dion, "Gonna Eat For Christmas" with Gloria Estefan and "Christmas Baby Please Come Home" with Cher. Although one Amazon buyer suggested the comedian/actress "stick to your day job," another said, "Not a fan of Rosie the person, but she sure put together an amazing Christmas album!"
"A Very She & Him Christmas" The "she" in this duet is Zooey Deschanel and the "him" is M. Ward, and together they are a folk/indie rock duo like no other. The Grammy-nominated Deschanel lends her smooth and deep jazzy singing style (one Amazon buyer says "Zooey's voice is pure silk") to songs like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Silver Bells." And for "New Girl" fans, their cover of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" was featured in the Season 1 episode called "The 23rd."
"This Christmas" John Travolta and his "Grease" leading lady Olivia Newton-John teamed up for this album that includes holiday classics like "Baby It's Cold Outside" and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." Travolta said on Newton-John's website that he got the idea for the album after receiving a card from her pointing out that they became a best-selling duet, thanks to the popularity of the "Grease" soundtrack. Although for the most part fans who bought it on Amazon loved it, one buyer wrote, "Some Christmas albums were not meant to be... and this is one of them!"
"Ally McBeal: A Very Ally Christmas" OK, so, this isn't only the cast of the David E. Kelley dramedy; it's more or less a showcase for Vonda Shepard (who was Ally's singing voice) with a little help from the series regulars. Calista Flockhart (Ally) gives her best comedic, seductive take on "Santa Baby," while Jane Krakowski (Elaine) sings "Run Rudolph Run" and Lisa Nicole Carson (Renee) tackles "Santa Claus Got Stuck in My Chimney." Oh, and a duet with Robert Downey Jr. (Larry) is thrown in for good measure.
"We Wish You a Merry Christmas: 15 Great Christmas Favorites Sung by Warner Bros. Stars" Fans of mid-century TV, have we got an album for you. Among the participants on this curious collection are TV stars of yesteryear, like Robert Conrad ("Wild Wild West), Efrem Zimbalist Jr. ("77 Sunset Strip," "Maverick") and Roger Moore ("The Saint). If you're really itching to hear this one, good luck finding it. It's only available on vinyl and super rare. Better yet, check out an old episode of "Wild Wild West" on YouTube. At least that'll give you a Bob Conrad fix.

Google Details Glass Mirror API At SXSW, Shows Off Gmail, NYT, Evernote And Path Integrations
Frederic Lardinois @fredericl / 10 years
At SXSW this afternoon, Google provided developers with a first glance at the Google Glass Mirror API, the main interface between Google Glass, Google's servers and the apps that developers will write for them. In addition, Google showed off a first round of applications that work on Glass, including how Gmail works on the device, as well as integrations from companies like the New York Times, Evernote, Path and others.
The Mirror API is essentially a REST API, which should make developing for it very easy for most developers. The Glass device essentially talks to Google's servers and the developers' applications then get the data from there and also push it to Glass through Google's APIs. All of this data is then presented on Glass through what Google calls "timeline cards." These cards can include text, images, rich HTML and video. Besides single cards, Google also lets developers use what it calls bundles, which are basically sets of cards that users can navigate using their voice or the touchpad on the side of Glass.
Here is a brief video of the Glass demo at SXSW today (via @panzer):
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrGVFMWvBSA?feature=player_detailpage]
It looks like sharing to Google+ is a built-in feature of the Mirror API, but as Google's Timothy Jordan noted in today's presentation, developers can always add their own sharing options, as well. Other built-in features seem to include voice recognition, access to the camera and a text-to-speech engine.
Glass Rules
Because Glass is a new and unique form factor, Jordan also noted, Google is setting a few rules for Glass apps. They shouldn't, for example, show full news stories but only headlines, as everything else would be too distracting. For longer stories, developers can always just use Glass to read text to users.
Essentially, developers should make sure that they don't annoy users with too many notifications, and the data they send to Glass should always be relevant. Developers should also make sure that everything that happens on Glass should be something the user expects, said Jordan. Glass isn't the kind of device, he said, where a push notification about an update to your app makes sense.
Using Glass With Gmail, Evernote, Path and Others
As part of today's presentation, Jordan also detailed some Glass apps Google has been working on itself, and apps that some of its partners have created. The New York Times app, for example, shows headlines and then lets you listen to a summary of the article by telling Glass to "read aloud." Google's own Gmail app uses voice recognition to answer emails (and it obviously shows you incoming mail, as well). Evernote's Skitch can be used to take and share photos, and Jordan also showed a demo of social network Path running on Glass to share your location.
So far, there is no additional information about the Mirror API on any of Google's usual sites, but we expect the company to release more information shortly and will update this post once we hear more.
Tip of the hat to our friends at Engadget for their live blog of today's event and to our own John Biggs for the photos.

Oil prices settled higher Wednesday after the Federal Reserve said that U.S. economic growth has slowed but should pick up again soon. But they retreated in after-market trading as Fed Chairman ...
Oil prices settled higher Wednesday after the Federal Reserve said that U.S. economic growth has slowed but should pick up again soon. But they retreated in after-market trading as Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said some of the economy's more serious problems could last into next year.
Benchmark oil for August delivery gained $1.24 to settle at $95.41 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. By late afternoon, after Bernanke spoke at a news conference, the price had fallen to $94.66 a barrel.
After a two-day meeting, Fed officials said in a statement that some reasons for the economy's slowdown, such as high gas prices and supply disruptions from Japan's natural disaster, are temporary. And once those problems subside, the economy should rebound.
Bernanke added though that some problems would be drags on the economy into 2012. "Maybe some of the headwinds that are concerning us, like weakness in the financial sector, problems in the housing sector ... some of these headwinds may be stronger and more persistent that we thought," Bernanke said.
His outlook for lingering problems in the economy pushed stocks down along with oil. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished about 80 points lower. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were lower as well.
In addition the Fed said it will complete its $600 billion Treasury bond buying program by June 30 as planned and said nothing about further efforts to boost the economy
Signs of slower economic growth have left traders nervous about how oil demand could be affected in the months ahead.
Gas pump prices have fallen in recent weeks but are still nearly 90 cents higher on average than a year ago. Many consumers and businesses are more careful about spending, since fuel is taking a bigger share of household income.
AAA on Wednesday predicted a 2.5 percent drop in July Fourth weekend travel, largely because of high fuel prices. The auto club estimated 39 million Americans will travel more than 50 miles from home during the long holiday.
Expectations of a slower summer travel season have been reflected in oil, which has traded between about $102 and $93 a barrel for most of the month, said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research.
Investors also have been concerned that Europe's economy could be affected if Greece defaults on its loans. That could lead to slower demand for oil and other commodities such as metals used in manufacturing. The new government in Greece won a vote of confidence which could help implement austerity measures required for it to get billions of dollars in emergency loans from Europe and the International Monetary Fund.
It could take time for all the steps to be completed, and that is leaving investors nervous, energy analyst Jim Ritterbusch said.
Closer to home, the Energy Department said the nation's crude supplies fell 1.7 million barrels to 363.8 million barrels last week. Gasoline supplies fell by 500,000 barrels to 214.6 million barrels. Demand for gasoline over the four weeks ended June 17 was 0.9 percent higher than a year earlier, averaging 9.3 million barrels a day.
The national average for regular gas fell a penny to $3.626 a gallon Wednesday, according to AAA, Wright Express and the Oil Price Information Service. That's down about 22 cents from a month ago.
In other Nymex trading, heating oil rose 6.49 cents to settle at $2.9549 per gallon, gasoline futures rose 9.07 cents to settle at $2.9733 per gallon and natural gas fell 7.1 cents to settle at $4.317 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In London, Brent crude gained $3.26, almost 3 percent, at $114.21 per barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

METAIRIE, La. -- After starting out as Eli Manning's understudy with the New York Giants, quarterback Ryan Nassib will now try to revive his NFL career as a developmental backup behind Drew Brees and Chase Daniel with the New Orleans Saints.
Nassib, 27, signed a deal with the Saints and was on the practice field Tuesday as they kicked off their three-day veteran minicamp.
Nassib will compete with third-year pro Garrett Grayson for that No. 3 developmental QB job in New Orleans. Or the Saints could just decide to go with two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster this year, as they have done often in the past.
"He's someone we liked coming out of the draft," Saints coach Sean Payton said of Nassib, who was drafted in the fourth round out of Syracuse in 2013. "We had a pretty strong opinion of him when he was in college. Thought he was a good decision-maker. He played for [former Saints offensive coordinator Doug Marrone], of course, at Syracuse. When he was in the games, you saw him move the ball, even in preseason tape when you watch him in New York. He knows where to go with it. He's a guy that picks things up pretty quickly.
"This is his first practice, really, so there's a lot that he's catching up on. But he's getting a crash course."
This will be an important summer for Nassib, whose potential fizzled in New York before he was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury last December and wasn't re-signed as a free agent this year. Payton said the Saints had to wait for the injury rehab before he was able to work out for them last week. The 6-foot-2, 223-pounder also worked out recently with the Dallas Cowboys.
Nassib appeared in five games with no starts -- all between 2014-15. He completed 9 of 10 passes for 128 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions.
He struggled mightily last preseason, completing just 31 of his 75 pass attempts (41 percent) for 379 yards, with three touchdowns, three interceptions and nine sacks. The Giants moved on with veterans Josh Johnson and Geno Smith as backup options, then they drafted QB Davis Webb in the third round.
The Saints have been kicking the tires on young quarterbacks in recent years, drafting Grayson in the third round in 2015, then briefly signing undrafted rookie Joe Callahan during last season, then almost drafting Patrick Mahomes II in the first round of this year's draft. But so far, they haven't forced themselves to find Brees' future successor since he is still thriving at age 38.
Brees and Daniel, 30, are both scheduled to be free agents after this season. But the Saints will likely extend Brees at some point, either this summer or after the season, unless they decide a total rebuild is in order.

Comfort reading: Kim by Rudyard Kipling One was Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim; the other was Rudyard Kipling's Kim. He could read them over and over, he said, with the joy of poetry. Rudyard Kipling is one of the best-known of the late Victorian poets and story-tellers.
Although he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature inhis political views, which grew more toxic as he aged, have long made him critically unpopular.

The article compares Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" with Rudyard Kipling's "The Man Who Would Be King." It sees Kipling's novella as a serio-comic narrative, whereas Conrad's is an absorbed meditation on the nature and pervading presence of evil, but says they share, among other parallels, their heroes' downfall and their narrators' early description of their respective places as dark.
Giving voice to the supposed "civilizing" aspect of the "new imperialism," Rudyard Kipling urged both the British and the Americans: direct rule. Historians refer to the form imperialism takes when a country annexed territories outright and subjugated the peoples who lived there as.

School did not get better for me. No matter how hard my mom and dad tried, no matter how many stickers, or check marks, or pieces of candy my teacher gave me, no one could prove its relevance.
I did not understand the worth of school, nor could I conceive of a time when I wouldn't want to slide, swing, or play dodge ball.
A job? What would I need that for?
And my favorite was the sandbox.
Yes, the school had a sandbox INSIDE. How awesome is that???? I found this to be very ingenious and proof that maybe my teacher wasn't an idiot after all.
So, I would console myself with the blocks or with the small chalkboards.
One day I got stuck in the kitchen center with the other girls. I had to play dolls, and wash dishes, and eat pretend food. It was a horrible day.
Dwayne Hart. He was pretty cute. And he had to be because look at what his last name was!
He knew I liked him and while that was true, I knew nothing beyond that I thought he was cute. What does one do after that?
So, unfortunately, his last name and good looks didn't wash away any of the horrors of school. He wasn't that cute.

About The Vines
The Vines started up shortly after Craig Nicholls and Patrick Matthews met at the McDonald's they worked at in Sydney, Australia, in 1991. The Anglophiliacs were enamored with bands like Suede and the Verve, and they also shared a love for Nirvana. By 1994, they were ready to play their first gig, during which they sloppily ran through Nirvana's "Been a Son" and tracks by You Am I, an alternative band that was big in Australia at the time. By 2000, the Vines had evolved into a distinct group, with vocalist Nicholls' unpredictability getting more press with each performance. By 2001, the band was in Los Angeles, recording its first album, Highly Evolved. When the LP was released, the British press went mad for its mixture of baroque pop and spastic, grungy-garage rock. Meanwhile, Nicholls seemed to be throwing himself and his guitar into anything he could on stage. "Get Free" began to break in America, and the band started selling out gigs and ransacking late night TV shows. Their live U.S. debut took place at the Coachella festival in 2002. When their follow-up, Winning Days, was released in 2004, it was one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of the year. Jon Pruett

Well, we had two birthdays in one week which is enough cake for any family to eat. But we did our best and finished each cake on the day it was presented. I have to admit that we did not get the biggest cakes available but everyone got at least 2 pieces.
First birthday to celebrate was my dads who came all the way from England to party with his grandkids. Girls had so much fun blowing up balloons and wrapping presents, I love to see the joy that children have when they give to others, makes me so proud.
Then onto Miss Jade who turned 9 this year. We surprised her with getting her ears pierced which is something that we have set for a tenth birthday, but wanting to really surprise her and after checking with Ruby and Pearl, we went ahead and got them done. We did have a few tears but she admired the finished result and was glad that she had them done.
Jade at the end of the day said " this was the best day ever" cannot top that. I think the pictures say it all .

Eventing/H.T., USEF
David O'Connor to Serve as U.S. Eventing Technical Advisor
December 8, 2016 Associate Editor	Leave a comment
Lexington, Ky. – The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) is pleased to announce that David O'Connor will serve as the Eventing Technical Advisor for the Land Rover U.S. Eventing Team. He will also continue to play an important role, alongside the Eventing Managing Director, in the development and implementation of Eventing plans, pathway, program, and systems that will help grow programs for developing and elite athletes. Following the post-Rio Review, the role of the Technical Advisor has been adjusted to focus more on management of the Programs and the athlete's personal programs and goals rather than hands on coaching.
"I think this is a great opportunity to continue strengthening the U.S. Eventing Team and the sport, overall," said O'Connor. "I will work closely with the Eventing Managing Director, the Eventing Sport Committee, personal coaches, and athletes to communicate targets and strategies for continual athlete improvement and to develop a sustainable system in all three phases to deliver medals."
O'Connor has played an important role in the progression and growth of eventing and equestrian sport, overall. Since 2012, he has spearheaded the development of an effective pipeline program that has sought to more effectively identify and develop talented youth while also developing programs for the riders at the top end of the sport. Work will continue to deliver an effective pathway that will seek to bring sustainable success for U.S. Eventing. Of course, the highlight of 2016 was Phillip Dutton's Bronze medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
"David has brought continuity and commitment to U.S. Eventing for years. From his Gold medal and his stint as President of the USEF, to his continued focus on growing development programs, David is well positioned to move the sport of eventing forward," said USEF President Chrystine Tauber. "As an athlete, chef d'equipe, and technical advisor, David has been fully committed to the process of making USA a leader in the eventing world.
O'Connor will serve as the U.S. Eventing Technical Advisor for the next two years with the focus being the Tryon 2018 World Equestrian Games.

The predictions aren't forecasts, but 'unlikely but underappreciated' events with huge financial impacts: Saxo.
In an annual ritual that many have come to love, Danish investment bank Saxo has published its year-end list of outrageous predictions for the following year.
The bank's predictions for 2019 cover a world that is increasingly saying "enough is enough," Saxo explains as the overwhelming theme of its listicle.
These predictions aren't official forecasts of any sort, but rather a series of "unlikely but underappreciated" events which, if they were to occur, could throw financial markets into chaos.
"This year's edition has a unifying theme of 'enough is enough'," Steen Jakobsen, Chief Economist at Saxo Bank told Trustnet.
"A world running on empty will have to wake up and start creating reforms – not because it wants to, but because it has to."
One of the listed prediction isn't just interesting but also one that could have far-reaching consequences if it really came to be: the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank could turn their back on using Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as its go-to metric for growth in 2019, turning to productivity, instead, as a measure of countries' growth.
"They [IMF and World Bank] argue that GDP has failed to capture the real impact of low-cost, technology-based services," Jakobsen was quoted to have said.
"(The two organisations have) been unable to account for environmental issues, as attested by the gruesome effects from pollution on human health and the environment in India and elsewhere around the world."
For a country truly invested in the health and happiness of its people, Saxo says it would need to produce more for every worker they have than it did so far, making productivity a more interesting measure of national progress.
So far, the world's governments have been set on using Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a traditional choice of metrics to measure growth. But this has also allowed many world economies to neglect considering or improving their 'productivity'.
GDP has many advantages and failings, its biggest drawback being that it simply does not capture the real impact of low-cost, technology-based services and isn't designed to account for environmental issues, which is of significant modern-day importance.
If Saxo's "unlikely" prediction for the IMF and World Bank to move to productivity does come to be, it could give a far more comprehensive look at a certain economy's productive capacity over time.
Among some of Saxo's other predictions for 2019 is a solar flare burst that leads to chaos and inflicts $2 trillion in financial damages to the world's economies. GE and Netflix going into losses from corporate debts and Apple taking a large bite of Tesla in an acquisition that makes "perfect sense".

Q: How do we host AMP pages over Firebase hosting? | #AskFirebase
*

*Is it possible to create website using AMP pages that can be hosted over Firebase hosting..?

*If yes, is that possible to create dynamic AMP pages that can add & fetch data to/from Firebase Firestore..?

*If yes, please explain how is that possible..?

AskFirebase
Thanks!

A: Yes, it is possible. You can generate AMP compatible templates that are served over firebase hosting, or via an https triggered firebase function.
Firebase functions hosting documentation: https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/functions
Your firebase function can dynamically fetch and serve data from Firestore / Realtime database. You can also implement caching so that static html is served from a CDN.
Creating an AMP page from scratch:
https://www.ampproject.org/docs/tutorials/create/basic_markup
Just follow the AMP guide to ensure your code structure and syntax is correct.
Obviously this answer is very simple compared to implementation, but hopefully that gives you some direction and an idea of what is possible.
Server Side Rendering Tutorial
Google has a video series on server-side rendering with Firebase, I highly recommend it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbTn1czE2L8&list=PLl-K7zZEsYLkbvTj8AUUCfBO7DoEHJ-ME

We are also deeply connected to the wider community of our collaborators in epilepsy care and science around the world and patients and families who benefit from the research and educational programs we help to sponsor.
Some of our most enduring successes are those that have grown to independence. FACES was the original home of epilepsy.com - the world's leading source of information on epilepsy and the world's largest epilepsy community; a lead sponsor of The Epilepsy Therapy Project - the largest academic consortium dedicated to advancing new epilepsy therapies; and the source of the seed money that led to the Epilepsy Phenome Genome Project, an enormously successful study that has helped to uncover more than 10 new epilepsy genes; the Epilepsy Study Consortium which has been involved in the study and development of more than 15 new antiepileptic drugs; the creation of the North American SUDEP Registry and International SUDEP Study at Epilepsy Centers.
Our research program has never been as full or exciting as now. From exploring the immunological mechanisms underlying epilepsy, developing novel methods to surgical treat epilepsy, undertaking studies to understand the risk factors and mechanisms underlying sudden death in epilepsy (SUDEP), assessing new genetic therapies to treat Dravet and CDKL5, leading the effort in scientific study of cannabis-based therapies to more than a dozen other studies that are now ongoing within our center and our collaborators around the world.
Education and community are the heart of FACES. Our annual educational conference is one of the largest in the world. Our annual newsletter and new monthly e-newsletter are read by more than 12,000 people. Our Game Day at Chelsea Piers brings families together for fun and for sharing. Camp Scholarships bring the joy of friendship for campers and respite for parents. Our College Scholarships allow students with epilepsy who have succeeded in the face of challenge have an easier road ahead.
All this is thanks to the incredible support we have received.
This website is about information and sharing. Happy you are here. We welcome suggestions, thoughts and questions - form ideas about educational programs to clinical questions for our medical and nursing staff to ways in which you can get involved. Feel free to reach us at: FACESinfo@nyulangone.org
Once again, welcome!

We care the most that we are kind in our home and that each member is given respect. We are a non spanking family , and it will stay that way. We try very hard to give our kids freedom to make age appropriate decisions, and then we follow the line of the natural consequence of their decision, whether it be good or bad. So far this is really working for us!
We too were a non-spanking family – natural consequences, you bet! I'm glad it's working for you – I think parents of twins need to be triply creative! Frankly, it all comes back to mindfulness: Why are we doing what we are doing, and is it working for us. If not, let's figure out and then practice and experiment with some changes. Because dang it, as soon as you have one stage figured out, they are on to the next!
I will take "be kind" – that's a wonderful motto. Love your article.
Thanks, Jill! It all comes back to mindfulness, doesn't it – taking the time to be aware of what we are doing and why…..Love what I see from you on fb, too!
