Finding Dory: insights from getting lost and being found
Photo from movies.disney.com.au
Warning: spoiler alert!
Disney-Pixar's sequel to 2003's Finding Nemo, is quite a treat for people of all ages who dearly love the ocean, and after watching this movie, those who don't, will soon do. Finding Dory showcases the beauty of the marine environment, from the towering kelps and serene seagrasses, the myriad of majestic corals, cryptic crabs and worms, a fast jetting squid and an agile octopus, to sunbathing Californian sea lions, hard-to-resist sea otters, thunderous spotted eagle rays, an adventurous common loon and green sea turtles. As if these marine creatures aren't fantastic enough, the film delivers an incredibly funny, very poignant story that will tug at everyone's hearts.
The Pacific regal blue tang, Dory, charmed the audience, chunks of humor aside and her whale-talking-prowess, with a genuine portrayal of what it is like to have an anterograde amnesia, of its limits and quite surprisingly, the strength that it brings forth. We can learn a lot from Dory by looking at the brighter side and asking ourselves the question: "What would Dory do?" instead of saying: "Don't be such a Dory!".
Who wouldn't be in awe with Hank the east Pacific red octopus as he skillfully turns to a house plant, and moments later to a baby feeding on his bottle? Octopuses are probably the most intelligent sea creatures, utilizing every imaginable human litter on the ocean floor to blend in, and yes, even break out from captivity. Hank was the epitome of such cleverness. More importantly, with Hank getting into trouble inch by inch with Dory, who can match such loyalty? Indeed, when you ask for help, the world conspires in helping you achieve it.
Destiny, the whale shark, although near-sighted and bumps her head all the time, was able to rise above her insecurity (literally and figuratively) and help her pipepal Dory as she launches a rescue operation. Her friend beluga, Bailey was able to regain his ability to echolocate - a ton of help, not to mention super fun - as he and Destiny helped Dory find her way through the pipes. What Dory said was true: "Best things happen by chance." She happens to have a pipepal who also happens to have the coolest partner. And of course, the world is a better place with people living to their potential and helping each other out.
Our old friends, the orange clownfish Nemo and his father Marlin, resonate a story so familiar – of being lost and then reunited. Marlin knew very well how empty it felt to have lost Nemo and didn't want to go through it all again, that's why he was hesitant to help Dory, but he was reminded that it was because of Dory and her sometimes thoughtless acts, that helped both Nemo and Marlin muster courage when they needed it most. Sometimes fear can paralyze us, but Dory and many of the characters prove otherwise, and that we won't realize what we're capable of until we try. So let's battle against the tempest and just keep swimming!
Join us in the next few weeks as we get to know more about the amazing animals we've met in this story.

PSA: Don't make Dory your next pet!
Artwork: Mike Yap
Finding Dory is out in cinemas in the U.S. today, June 17. It's all about the journey of an amnesic blue tang Dory (Paracanthurus hepatus) reuniting with her family. This sequel to the Disney-Pixar's "Finding Nemo" brings unrest to researchers and conservationists as its popularity might trigger its increased demand in the aquarium trade, such as in the case of the clownfish species after "Finding Nemo" hit the theaters in 2003 [1].
Despite Disney-Pixar's attempt to raise awareness in wild-caught aquarium organisms in "Finding Nemo", this activity giving cause to the movie's title, the aquarium industry still saw an astounding increase in the demand for it. Every kid wants to have a pet nemo.
National Geographic estimates that the demand for clownfish tripled since the film's release. More than a million is being harvested annually; 400,000 of which goes to United States. According to Fix.com, clownfish species comprise 43% of the marine ornamental aquarium industry. A slight progress in captive breeding of this species might be seen as a boon since 25% of captive-bred fish now comes from trade; however, the remaining is still caught from the wild. Consequently, localized extinction of this tropical fish has been seen, exacerbated with harvesting of coral reefs. Karen Burke da Silva, an Associate Professor of biodiversity and conservation at Flinders University in South Australia, reported with certainty that there are now areas of Southeast Asia devoid of this species [2]. Ironically, it seems that the message failed to get across.
As if the problems faced by the clownfish aren't enough, the blue tang is possibly headed to meet its own challenges. Dory in the film might be ignorantly courageous with her mantra "just keep swimming" but the sad truth is that its kind does not fare well in aquariums [2]. Unlike Nemo's species, Dory's kind is fragile, requires meticulous care, and is near impossible to breed in captivity [1,2]. In fact, a group of researchers have been trying to breed blue tang in laboratory conditions since 2012, but they have not since been able to get the fish to survive longer than 22 days [1]. Upon the film's release, the biologist Eric Cassiano said there might be a shortage of blue tangs to buy [1]. This might not be enough to satiate people's desire for such an adorable animal. That fact alone spells trouble for the regal blue tang population. As of today, 300,000 of blue tangs are traded around the world [2]. An increase in the demand for Dory in aquariums would most definitely lead to its population to decline in the wild [1,2].
Although Dory's population (P. hepatus) is healthy and of least concern, they only thrive in warm, shallow tropical reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans [3]. It is but unacceptable to add more pressure to their natural population as climate change escalates. Instead, let's heed Desiderius Erasmus' famous quote "Prevention is better than cure".
Let us all raise awareness in keeping species like Dory and Nemo in the wild and not in tanks. Remember that blue tangs in the wild can live up to 30 years [3]. Also, let us consider giving to resources that can improve the status quo of captive breeding programs. If we truly care enough for these precious marine species, we should not let Dory suffer the same dire fate. Tell and share with your friends "Don't buy Dory!".

World Oceans Day 2016: Healthy Oceans, Healthy Planet
The ocean provides us with many things, including food and medicine, and is an important reservoir of carbon and oxygen, things that are necessary for our survival. Other than these, it serves as a home to vast numbers of organisms and it also regulates the Earth's climate. Simply put, oceans since the dawn of time, have been caring for all organisms including the human race, but the question is, do we care for the oceans? Unfortunately, humans have misused its resources and unknowingly put 71 percent of the Earth's surface at risk. However, it is never too late for man to change this kind of situation.
Today, the whole world celebrates World Oceans Day, an annual event to celebrate the beauty, the wealth and the promise of the ocean. This was first proposed in 1992 by the Government of Canada at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, and in 2008 during the United Nations General Assembly, it was officially set to be celebrated every 8th day of June. May this celebration remind and unite us all in making plans into actions toward a sustainable management of the world's oceans. Healthy oceans, healthy planet.

UPS driver starts Facebook group for drivers to swap dog pics, and it's glorious
Oct. 21, 2017, 8:17 PM UTC / Source: TODAY
By Embry Roberts
Driving a delivery truck can be a lonely gig. But according to UPS driver Sean McCarren of Falling Waters, West Virginia, many drivers find no shortage of company in the four-legged friends they meet along the way.
McCarren, 41, explained that it's common for delivery drivers to keep boxes of dog treats on hand. "I know people who buy a couple of boxes a week," McCarren told TODAY. "As soon as you deliver to a stop, especially in rural areas, (the dogs) start popping up in your truck."
He continued, "They become a part of your family, kinda. They're expecting you. The worst is when you run out of treats ... next time, they get a double treat!"
After noticing a pile-up of dog pictures on his phone, McCarren started a Facebook page called UPS Dogs in 2013 to share the highlights. Four years later, the page has over 500,000 followers and contributors all over the world, some of whom have become McCarren's real-life friends.
"At first I started adding a couple of local drivers, then it starts to spread," McCarren recalled. "Slowly it trickles out. Some lady from Spain a few years ago liked the page — people from London, Germany. It's really catching fire."
"I have people bombarding me with dogs right now," he added. (We'd argue that there are worse problems to have!)
While many posts are pure (literal) fluff, others tell more emotional stories. One driver, Katie Neuhauser, adopted a pit bull named Leo after his owner passed away.
Drivers have also used the group to seek support in times of loss. "There's sadness, when you lose dogs on the route," McCarren explained. "Last year I lost a dog, Belle ... She would come out and greet me and expect a treat, and then she died suddenly last year. You see (these dogs) every day. It's tough on the families, too."
The page has also run posts featuring cats, deer, donkeys and pigs. But dogs will always be McCarren's first love.
"There's nothing you can say negative about dogs," he said. "Dogs aren't just man's best friend, they're people's best friend. Everybody loves dogs."
And he's not the only one who feels that way. "I've gotten what feels like a billion messages saying, 'This is the best page ever!'" McCarren shared. "Not just, 'Hey, can you post my dog,' but outpours of, 'Thank you, this is great' ... It's cool to see how it just brought everybody together."

It is an inevitable truth that not every visitor to your website becomes a customer. Many times, a user browses through your site and leaves without any further interaction. To address this issue, the marketing industry has developed a technique that recaptures the attention of users and brings them back to your site to complete a conversion. This technique is known as remarketing and it has quickly become an important aspect of e-commerce marketing strategies.
Essentially, remarketing gives you a second chance to catch a user's eye after he or she navigates away from your website through advertisements. However, sending generic emails or displaying ads for your company on other websites is not always enough. Just like with other marketing techniques, the most effective way to bring users back to your site is through personalization. When remarketing efforts are combined with personalized ads, your likelihood of conversion increases significantly. For this reason, several tools and techniques are emerging to help you create these focused ads and ultimately grow your customer base.
Your retargeting audience is different from your traditional audience. These users were already exposed to and expressed interest in your company and your products. As a result, this audience has a unique perspective and requires different efforts to create conversions. With remarketing, you are able to create a series of focused ads that display items these users previously viewed and interacted with on your site.
Pixel-based remarketing. This refers to the process of installing cookies on a user's browser so that your focused ads continue to appear on other sites he or she visits.The pixel-based approach works even if you do not have any contact information from your site visitors.
List-based remarketing. This method requires you to have the emails or phone numbers of your remarketing audience. With this information, you can utilize social media platforms, search engines and even email services to display your focused ads to the right users.
Remarketing has proven to be extremely effective in increasing company return on investments (ROIs), user engagement and brand awareness. However, each of these approaches has its pros and cons. In particular, pixel-based remarketing is not always as customizable as the alternative. While you can reach a wider audience, your audience may be exposed to ads that seem irrelevant.
Meanwhile, list-based remarketing is highly customizable because you have user information to utilize. With this method, the more information you have about each user, the better you can tailor your ads to that individual. The downside is that highly targeted ads have the potential to irritate users if executed improperly. To help you limit this effect, you can take advantage of popular remarketing platforms that allow you to adjust your ads as needed.
Several remarketing platforms exist to help you with your list-based remarketing efforts. Many of them allow you to create lists of users to target, add information about these users and manually adjust your remarketing approach as your campaign evolves. The most popular platforms include those offered by Google AdWords, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
In addition to these options, there are several other remarketing companies that work with multiple platforms, like Facebook, to offer these services. These companies serve as middlemen to help you spread your remarketing strategies across several platforms at once. Examples of these companies include AdRoll, ReTargeter and Perfect Audience. Which company or platform you choose depends on the needs of your company.
Standard remarketing, which displays general ads for users who recently visited your site.
Dynamic remarketing, which promotes ads for specific items these visitors viewed on your site.
Customer Match remarketing, which utilizes user contact information to display ads through email inboxes and other Google products.
Video remarketing, which displays ads to visitors who viewed your video content.
Remarketing with search ads, which allows Google to present your ad when a user searches for a product or service similar to yours.
Social media websites serve as powerful remarketing platforms as well. Companies like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter give you access to millions of users with their retargeting services.
Since Facebook owns Instagram, both require you to use Facebook Ads to control your remarketing campaign. The process involves installing a Facebook pixel on your site, which gathers information about user interactions. With this information, you can build a custom audience and adjust elements like gender, age, location and particular interests. This allows you to display relevant ads on both of these platforms for your remarketing audience.
Twitter offers a similar service, known as Tailored Audiences. When you install a Twitter pixel on your website, it allows you to create cookie IDs for each user. This information is then matched to Twitter profiles so that you can successfully remarket your products on the Twitter platform.
Studies show that when utilized properly, remarketing efforts can increase your likelihood of conversion by up to 70 percent. However, one important factor to keep in mind when planning your remarketing strategy is control. Improper retargeting can actually cause user irritation and hurt your customer loyalty.
To avoid this, make sure to revise your remarketing audience list on a regular basis by removing customers that recently completed a purchase or viewed your thank you page. That way, your targeted users do not continue to see the same advertisement for a product or service they already received. Once you master the remarketing techniques that work for your business, you can begin to transform your audiences from casual browsers into loyal customers.


Attended Kent State University, joined the US Navy the day I was drafted, served 24 years retiring as a Command Master Chief Petty Officer. After retiring from the Navy I was employed as a Human Resource consultant. After 4 years of consulting I retired permanently...To fill my time I worked as a Rural Mail Carrier on the Salt River Indian Reservation and then spent a summer driving 18 wheel tractor/trailers all across the US and southern Canada. We travel a lot, had a 32 ft 5th wheel we pulled all across the US, spent a few months in Southeast Asia spending most of our time in Singapore and Thailand, and have made three trips to Spain and Italy (Sicily). While in The Navy I had permanent stations in Texas (2 yrs), Cuba(1 Yr), Guam 3 yrs, Sicily (3 yrs), Illinois (4 yrs), Diego Garcia (1 yr), Spain (3 yrs), Hawaii (3 yrs), and Guam (2 yrs).
Architectural studies at Kent did not work out well as I got off to the wrong start with the Dean of the Architectural School...before long I received a letter from my neighbors inviting me to report to the induction center. While in the Navy I was a Meteorologist and was invited to teach meteorology and oceanography at the schools in Lakehurst, NJ, and at the Air Force schools in Illinois. Attended the Senior Enlisted Academy at the Naval War College located at Newport, RI. I received my Bachelor of Science from NYU Albany, currently known as Excelsior college. I had a dual major in Meteorology and oceanography, with minor in Sociology. The Naval war college granted Masters level credit in military sciences and International Relations.

Robin clutched his head as another psychic blast struck him. A few feet away, Rocket stopped convulsing and went limp, which left Psimon to focus all his attention on the Boy Wonder.
"I heard that" said Psimon, striking Robin with another pulse.
"What are you hiding? You have some clever scheme to defeat me? That doesn't seem very nice. How about if we talk about you instead? I'm sure you have some wonderful secrets in that brain of yours."
Robin felt Psimon digging around inside his mind, and realized it was time for drastic action. Batman had taught him a technique for shielding his mind. It was simple enough: fill your mind with something easily repeated but completely irrelevant. Like what Bane had done to M'gann on Santa Prisca.
A burst of pain shook him.
"You'll need to put up more resistance than that, Bat-boy" said Psimon in a bored tone, which Robin hoped to soon correct.
He started humming. A tune he'd learned in fifth grade. All the boys had been singing it at one time or another.
Over and over, faster and faster.
It could be said that Robin had his own "personal spin" on the technique.
"What childish nonsense is this?" asked Psimon, sending a concentrated strike of brainwaves at him. Robin winced but ignored it.
Psimon struck harder and harder as he became angrier, but he was still trying to limit his attacks' power to avoid knocking Robin out. His mistake.
"You think such amateur defenses will stop me?" Psimon asked, though by the sound of his voice the song was clearly getting to him.
At this point, Robin decided to up the ante and started listing off prime numbers.
"ENOUGH!" roared Psimon, both psychically and physically, striking Robin with a blast powerful enough to flatten him again. "I am the one in control here!"
We'll see about that thought Robin as he resumed his defenses.
But Psimon's attention was no longer focused on the Boy Wonder.
"Let's see how your friend here fairs," said the psychic.
Out of the corner of his eye, Robin saw Rocket start moving. Unnaturally, like a rag doll.
"No!" he shouted. "Leave her alone!"
And with that distraction, Psimon broke through the outer defenses and fully entered Robin's mind.


What's cuter than giving grandparents a handmade gift for Christmas that can be a memento for years to come? Two years ago, we made a Mistletoes painting for all of Lincoln and Addie's grandmas and grandpas, so last year we wanted to follow up with something equally cute - and what we came up with was this DIY Christmas Felt Handprint Wreath.
We turned it into a multi-family event so that we had two moms working on this project. It ended up being a little time consuming, but easier than we feared!
Step 1: Trace your child's hand on the paper and cut it out, then cut out felt hands. We decided that 10 handprints was a good number, so we used 5 from each kid.
Step 2: Make a Circle Out of Two Pipe Cleaners, then Attach Hands to the Wreath. I tried using Tacky Glue and it didn't stick quickly enough for my liking - so I switched to my glue gun. I alternated the kids hands so that it looked even all the way around the wreath.
3. Decorate! We let the kids do most of this and they had a great time sticking pom-poms on the dots of glue we made for them.
Step 4: Add a Pipe Cleaner Hanging Handle and Some Finishing Touches. I tied ribbon bows at the top of each wreath, and added a cardstock circle (with hot glue) over the pipe cleaners on the back of the wreath to give it a little bit more structure.
Step 5: Gift and Enjoy!
These were a huge hit with all of our grandparents!
This post is part of the 25 Days of Handmade Holidays! Check out all the other blogs below for more holiday DIY inspiration!
OMG! I love this project!!! I know what the kids and i will be making next week since they are off school all week.
Awesome! Hope you had fun!


international and appeal to the audience in India," Dev, who earned global recognition with the Oscar winning "Slumdog Millionaire", told IANS over phone from Berlin. With a futuristic setting, the film takes cinema-goers to a world where crime is patrolled by an oppressive mechanised police force. It narrates a story of a police droid, Chappie, which is stolen and is re-programmed, making him the first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. The film highlights measures taken by humans to safeguard their existence. The film, which also stars Sigourney Weaver and Hugh Jackman, will release in India on March 13. And Dev hopes audience "really respond to the film well" and "find it entertaining".
The 24-year-old actor seems to be a fan of Robot Maid from "Richie Rich" cartoon as he fancies a robot who can help him with his daily chores. "I would love a robot that could clean my bedroom, do dishes, the laundry, cut my grass. That would be just lovely," he said.


By now we're very well acquainted with the fact that, yes, Rachel Weisz is married to James Bond himself, Daniel Craig. But that's hardly the most interesting thing to note about the multi-talented actress: we're talking about an Oscar-winning, Cambridge degree-wielding star whose CV boasts everything from action franchises (remember The Mummy?) to arthouse indie (2015's pitch black comedy The Lobster and this year's upcoming Disobedience) and a handful of lucrative fashion contracts, after all.
A year after she won a modelling competition aged 13 (having, as she later told Vogue, lied about her height, pretending she was a more catwalk-friendly 5ft7in" rather than 5ft5in"), she was spotted by producers, and asked to star with Richard Gere in the film King David. Her father reportedly wasn't keen on her taking the part, which she eventually rejected, preferring to concentrate on her studies. "I was a child. I wanted to go to school, go down the pub, or whatever it was you did," she told The Telegraph.
Another British star with impeccable academic credentials: Rachel studied English Literature at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, eventually graduating with a 2:1. During her time at university, she co-founded a drama group called Talking Tongues, eventually winning a Guardian award at the Edinburgh Festival for one of the troupe's improvised pieces. Oh, to be an over-achiever... Later, one of her Cambridge classmates, Chris Weitz, directed her in the Hugh Grant rom-com About A Boy.
Rachel met director Darren Aronofsky backstage at the Almeida Theatre in 2001, when she was starring in The Shape of Things, a play by his friend Neil LaBute. After one year together, she relocated to New York, where they got engaged in 2005 and then welcomed a son, Henry, in 2006. The following year, the actress went on to star in Aronofsky's high-concept fantasy epic The Fountain, playing three versions of the same character across different historical eras.
However, the pair never tied the knot: in November 2010, they released a statement confirming that they'd been separated for "some months," though they remained "committed to raising their son together in NYC." Aronofsky went on to date Jennifer Lawrence, star of his critically divisive film Mother!, while Rachel is now married to a very famous face indeed, none other than Daniel Craig.
Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig.
It took starring as a couple in the 2010 film Dream House to bring them together, but Rachel and Daniel go way back. They first met in their early twenties, when Talking Tongues put on a play called Les Grandes Horizontales at the National Theatre Studio, and were friends for years before finally getting together in 2011. Their wedding, which took place in June of that year, was a low key affair with only four guests: their two children (Henry, and Daniel's daughter from a previous relationship) and two close friends to act as witnesses. Earlier this year, Rachel and Daniel confirmed that they were expecting their first child together.
The couple went on to appear in a Broadway revival of Harold Pinter's Betrayal, with Rachel playing an adulterous wife and Daniel as her husband. The 14 week run proved a major hit, with the second highest box office takings for a non-musical on Broadway that year, with reports speculating that the couple stayed in character between performances by keeping to "separate bedrooms" during the production.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the star counts reportedly heavy metal among her favourite musical genres. "I'm definitely an old rocker," she told Vogue back in 2012. "I go and see music all the time."
"In America everyone says it wrong. It's V-I-C-E. I learned to be polite. I have been here for eight years, but now I am going to start correcting people.," she told New York magazine back in 2009. Her surname originates from Hungary: her father and mother fled the country in 1938 to escape Nazi persecution.
Rachel pregnant with her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
It's rare you'll read a piece about Rachel without spotting the phrase 'English rose,' but the actress officially became a naturalised US citizen in 2011. "I did it because I thought I would go back to England for a while and lose my green card," she told Stylist. "I'm not going back now, but being a citizen means I can vote here, which is exciting, not just being an outsider." She still, however, often spends part of the year in London's Primrose Hill, where she and her husband still have a home, and where, most recently, she filmed My Cousin Rachel and Disobedience.

"Addressing anemia often requires an integrated approach to effectively combat it," remarked Dr. Acheng Jane Ruth, the Director General of Health Services during her opening remarks at the Multisectoral Anemia Stakeholders' Meeting in Kampala. The meeting, held in March 2015, brought together stakeholders from government, private sector, civil society, academia, and development partners to share progress made by the National Anemia Working Group over the past year.
Although substantial progress has been made in Uganda, anemia is still a sizable public health challenge, especially among women of reproductive age and children under five. Dr. Acheng's speech emphasized the public health importance of anemia, which contributes to the country's high infant, child, and maternal mortality rate.
Ms. Bakunzi Maureen, Assistant Commissioner of Policy, Coordination, and Monitoring in the Office of the Prime Minister and the focal person for the Uganda Nutrition Action Plan (UNAP), highlighted the current UNAP progress in the anemia fight. She also emphasized the importance of Uganda's multisectoral approach towards the elimination of anemia. She noted that the country is on the right path with the integration of nutrition into the National Development Plan 2.
Speaking at the same meeting, Dr.Winyi Kaboyo, the Commissioner for Community Health at the Ministry of Health, stressed the ministry's commitment to chair and coordinate the National Anemia Working Group. He applauded development partners, especially SPRING, for reinvigorating the working group.
The first part of the meeting also included presentations on anemia programming from the Ministry of Health Nutrition Unit, Ministry of Agriculture, and SPRING. SPRING helped set the stage by giving an overview of the global perceptive on anemia control. Dr. Sorrel Namaste presented the recent figures from the Global Nutrition Report indicating that only 5 out of 185 countries with anemia data are on course to reduce anemia. The fact that Uganda is not part of these five countries got stakeholders thinking about what actions need to be taken to reduce anemia. Ms. Sarah Ngalombi, the chair of the "Uganda National Anaemia Working Group," presented the group's progress in implementing the 2014 National Anemia Action Plan and provided a road map for the development of a 2015/16 plan. The morning closed with a presentation by Mr. Stephen Biribonwa of the Ministry of Agriculture who provided an example of multsectoral work being undertaken in Uganda. The new "Multi-sectoral Food Security and Nutrition Project" provides a platform to coordinate across sectors while still implementing interventions within each respective sector's existing systems, budgets, and accountability structures. The second component involved break-out session, organized by the lifecyle, where participants shared experiences and worked on developing a National Anemia Action Plan for 2015/16. The day also included presentations from Mr. Moses Mutabzai, a Kisoro District nutritionist, who shared the overall district experience on implementing the multisectoral approach. He highlighted the important role SPRING has played in building the capacity of the multisectoral district and sub-county coordination committees and in rolling out interventions to reduce anemia at the health facility and community levels. The role of the private sector was presented by Dr. Andrew Sekitoleko, who emphasized the need to engage the private players in the fight against anemia.
In her closing remarks on day two, Dr. Acheng Jane Ruth called for implementation and strengthened accountability for the National Anemia Action Plan. She also urged the inclusion of sickle cell disease into the anemia agenda and for increased funding to address this blood disorder. She acknowledged that she has a personal interest in the National Anemia Working Group and wants to see it succeed. There was also emphasis to take the interventions closer to the communities during 2015.
Overall, the workshop brought together 100 participants from across sectors. It provided an excellent platform for technical experts to both share their work and learn from professionals in other sectors. At the end of the meeting, the Government of Uganda representatives called for rapid implementation of the 2015/16 National Anemia Action Plan based on promising global evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of high impact interventions.


Help us Grow Mother's Day Campaign: Watch our Snapdragons Bloom!
Over the past month, as part of our Help us Grow Mother's Day Campaign, we have featured all five of our rooms in the Child Development Program. This post introduces you to the final room, The Snapdragons!
In these blog posts you have met the "Room Ambassadors", learned what the infants or toddlers in that room do each day, and learned about some of the developmental skills they have been working on.
We hope you have enjoyed these blog posts!
The children in the Snapdragon room range in age from 23 months to 3 years of age. As you can imagine, the Snapdragon room is quite busy and the children enjoy an exciting, active schedule. In the morning the children eat a nutritious snack in their room and enjoy some free play. Many of the Snapdragons are toilet training and during this time we practice our self help skills as well. Our Snapdragons are very interested in imaginative and dramatic play, and we incorporate stories and literacy into many of their adventures. Mid-morning they have art and/or sensory activities that are planned based on their current interests. If the weather is agreeable we often take these activities outdoors so we can maximize our use of the outdoor playground and fresh air. Outside we do a lot of gross motor activities including: running, climbing, racing, jumping, crouching, throwing, and catching to name a few.
After the children play outside, they eat lunch together in the children's dining room and then they head back down to their room for a rest. Each child has a small cot to sleep on and the room stays dark and quiet with soft music that plays to help them relax. In the afternoon our Snapdragons enjoy more free play and another snack before they get picked up.
Chase is an active curious investigator, he loves to figure out how things work. He loves cars, planes, trains, bikes and pretty much anything with wheels that move. A favorite time for Chase is when we do art and sensory activities, he is always one of the first to want a turn, and can stay focused on a task for a long period of time; he particularly loves to create!
Liam is an active boy on the go, he loves to play outside and join in running games with his friends. He loves to push the stroller and pretend he is running to the bus stop, sometimes he says he is running because it is raining and he needs to get the baby there fast. He also loves to take care of the dolls and feed them; it's not hard to tell he is a very involved big brother! Liam has lots of language and always has a fun story to share with his teachers, he shows a lot of empathy and if you so much as sneeze he will be sure to ask 'Are you okay?' Liam has been at Youville Centre since he was a Daffodil.
Our Help us Grow Mother's Day Campaign has almost come to an end! Next week we will share our fundraising results, so if you'd like to be a part of this campaign, please consider giving online this week or this weekend, and we will include your donation in our final tally.
Thank you to our generous partners in this campaign!
Stay tuned to our blog as we're not finished yet! We will be posting campaign results and showing pictures from some of the events and initiatives that have happened throughout the course of the campaign.

5 More Home Solar Systems for Cabugan
Central Philippines State University through the Research and Extension Office, the Graduate School and College Alumni Batch 1990 installed solar systems at 5 houses in Sitio Cabugan, Brgy. Tagucon on April 16, 2019.
Each system includes a 210W, 1324x 992 x 35 mm monocrystalline solar panel and 1000 W inverter, which together is capable to power not only household lightings but also laptops and electric fans.
NOAC Batch 1990 together with CPSU faculty and community partners in Cabugan.
CPSU president Dr. Aladino C. Moraca, who is also a member of NOAC batch 1990.
University president Dr. Aladino C. Moraca said during the short program to open the Training Workshop on Household-based Designing and Installation of Solar System, that in one year, CPSU has already installed solar systems in 8 of the 27 households in the area. He added that he plans to prioritize the installation of home solar systems to households with access to the springs and caves nearby and convinced them to protect the water source in exchange for the amenity.
On February 23, 2018, partner agencies from the government, the private sector and CPSU through the College of Agriculture and Forestry (CAF), officially turned over two solar home systems and rainwater collectors to two residents of Sitio Cabugan during the launching of the trade-off community-based natural resource management program of CAF.
The program is an extension service wherein the recipients agreed to receive the goods in exchange of their effort to manage natural resources in their community. In particular, each recipient has to allot 1.5 hectares for organic farming, protect the forest and send their children or relative to study at CPSU.
The program is supported by partners from RU Foundry and Machine Shop Corporation and EcoAgri Development Foundation, Multi-Sectoral Alliance for Development-Negros (MUAD-Negros), the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA) of Negros Occidental, and Foundation for the Philippine Environment.

Volunteers wanted for Tayside for Justice in Palestine's stall this Saturday, 2nd May. We plan to have a stall on the first Saturday of the month. The aim is to hopefully involve more activists and extend the time of activity.
We will be outside Tesco in the Murraygate from 11.00 – 3 p.m. The more volunteers we have – equals less time for each individual. We suggest a minimum of 3 people at any one time, one behind stall and two interacting with the public. I am trying to organise a rota system so if you can manage an hour or so on Sat, please get in touch asap (before our fortnightly meeting this Thursday).

Rockets list James Harden as questionable with toe sprain
Photo by Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports
December 29, 2019 2:14 pm CT
[jwplayer wSIqMtQm-z6KDnl0B]
Houston Rockets star James Harden is questionable for Sunday night's game at New Orleans with a sprained right big toe, according to the team's updated injury report.
It's unclear when Harden suffered the injury. In Saturday's win at home versus Brooklyn, the former MVP had 44 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, and four blocked shots in 40 minutes.
James Harden scores 44 as Rockets hold off Nets with defense
Reporters noted that Harden did have a slight limp in the team's locker room postgame, which potentially traced back to a sequence in the fourth quarter where he slipped and lost his footing. However, it's unknown whether that was correlated with the toe injury.
Naturally, Harden still finished the game out. Entering Sunday, Harden had not missed any games of the 2019-20 season for the Rockets.
Asked about his ankle, Harden said simply, "It's good."
— ClutchFans (@clutchfans) December 29, 2019
The Rockets were already shorthanded for Sunday's game, with Russell Westbrook sitting out for planned maintenance on night two of a back-to-back and Clint Capela out with a right heel contusion.
Clint Capela is OUT tonight with the right heel contusion. Russell Westbrook will sit on the second night of the back-to-back. James Harden is listed as questionable with a right toe sprain.
— Cayleigh Griffin (@cayleighgriffin) December 29, 2019
Clint Capela likely to miss second consecutive game for Rockets
Russell Westbrook likely to miss one game of all back-to-backs
Needless to say, Harden's absence would be the most significant of all. The 30-year-old guard easily leads the the league at 38.3 points per game, and he's also in the NBA's top 10 in assists at 7.5 per game.
The Rockets will get some backcourt reinforcement for Sunday's game with the return of Eric Gordon, who has missed over six weeks after undergoing knee surgery. However, Mike D'Antoni indicated Saturday that Gordon would be limited to about 25 minutes and probably would not start. It's unclear whether Harden's absence might change that plan.
D'Antoni said Eric Gordon will be restricted to 25 minutes tomorrow night
— Adam Spolane (@AdamSpolane) December 29, 2019
D'Antoni didn't explicitly say Gordon will come off the bench tomorrow night, but he worded it that way. My guess is McLemore starts and Gordon comes off the bench.
Eric Gordon practices Friday, set to return Sunday for Rockets
The next update on Harden's status could come when D'Antoni meets with the media prior to Sunday's game. With tip-off scheduled for 7 p.m. Central in New Orleans, D'Antoni is scheduled to talk with reporters at approximately 5:30 p.m. If it's a true game-time decision, Harden typically goes through his pregame shooting routine about an hour before tip-off.
James Harden's availability vs. Pelicans will be determined based on how his toe feels during his pregame shooting/warmup routine, per source. https://t.co/9CJnjDzgt5
— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) December 29, 2019
The Pelicans (10-23) have won four of five games, so it's a much more difficult game for the Rockets (22-10) than it might appear on paper. With two starters in Westbrook and Capela already confirmed to be out, Houston probably needs Harden on the floor to remain favorites.

The Tampa Bay Area is a massive and densely populated metropolitan area located on the Tampa Bay in Florida and includes multiple cities such as St. Petersburg and Tampa. Regarded nationally as a very desirable place to live, Tampa Bay has great weather, an outdoors attitude, several sports teams to enjoy, and of course high-quality private music lessons instructors available to lend their skills to aspiring musicians! A very culture-rich area, Tampa Bay hosts many museums, parks, aquariums, theme parks, and all sorts of cultural and tourist attractions. Unique to Tampa Bay is the Gasparilla Pirate Festival held each January, where a group of citizens pretends to be a crew of ghost pirates and enters the Tampa Bay (along with the boats of local and tourist festival attendees) then disembarks to 'invade' the city of Tampa, but it's really a parade into the city for the festival! You can't make this stuff up. The Tampa Bay Area is a great place to live full of happy people, and endless possibilities.

The legalization of recreational marijuana in California has caused massive change in the regulatory framework guiding the industry. Many details remain to be settled. One that has recently come the attention of the state legislature could vastly impact sales for cannabis businesses by imposing advertising restrictions upon them.
Prohibit both medical and non-medical marijuana licensees from advertising or using branded merchandise. Medical cannabis and medical cannabis products could not be advertised on clothing, hats, or other merchandise with the name or logo of the produce.
Limit television advertisements to those periods during which 71.6 percent of the viewing audience is reasonably expected to be aged twenty-one years or older. Advertisers would also have to verify recipients are twenty-one years of age prior to sending direct marketing materials.
The advertising prohibitions illustrate Senator Allen's stated purpose in introducing the bill – to ensure that children are not exposed to information and material about marijuana. But not all Californians agree with the bill's methodology.
In response to Senate Bill 162, the Sacramento Bee interviewed Nate Bradley, a lobbyist for the California Cannabis Industry Association. Bradley describes the bills as "one of those fear-based, emotional bills that is not fully baked." Indeed, it is difficult to find a correlation between underaged marijuana use and ads which target viewing audiences consisting of only 71.5% viewers aged over twenty-one. Similarly, California cultivator Ryan Jenneman told LA Weekly that it would be "a misguided mistake to ban cannabis small business owners from advertising and branding" at a time when cultivators are "aggressively working to combat the misinformation and damage caused by the outdated Reefer Madness mentality". This raises the serious question of where the legitimate protection of children ends and the "Reefer Madness mentality" begins.
While some predictions have Senate Bill 162 passing handily, it is not yet possible to know with certainty what advertising restrictions will be placed upon cannabis businesses in the future. At present, the marijuana industry can best protect itself by preparing for the most restrictive advertising environment. Business plans can should prepared and adapted to alternate methods of marketing. Case studies from other states which have legalized recreational marijuana can help business owners identify which alternative marketing methods are best suited to their needs and offer the best return on investment. Financial reserves should be set aside for period of restricted advertising which lead to decreased sales.
We also recognize that advertising can be a vital part of any business operation, necessary to get the word out about a product or service. However, there are industries (such as tobacco and alcohol) that have thrived despite restrictions. Cannabis farmers face both regulatory obstacles and the challenge of changing business plans to meet the needs of a changing industry. With sound the business planning services of experienced cannabis lawyers, farmers and distributors can be prepared to thrive in California's cannabis industry – regardless of any advertising restrictions.

Q: Get next occurrence of a weekday if not found in desired week How can I come up with an algorithm to find out the very next occurrence of a weekday if not found in the desired week. For example following is the screenshot of the calendar. There is no Tuesday in first week of April. I need an idea how can I go for the next Tuesday in the next week if not present in the given week?

Below is my algorithm which is working fine in getting any week's selected weekday. I just want to add two conditions in it to iterate back and forth in the case when weekday is not present in the given week.
for(var ind=0; ind<=between.length; ind++){
   if (new Date(between[ind]).getMonthWeek() === baseDtWk && new Date(between[ind]).getDay() === baseDtD) {
       datesToBeMarked.push(between[ind]);
       console.log(" :Date: " + between[ind] + " :Week: " + new Date(between[ind]).getMonthWeek());
       console.log("Date entered : " + new Date(between[ind]));
   }

}

In above code baseDtWk & baseDtD contains the week and day.
Week is an integer from 1 to 5.
Day is an integer from 0 to 6 representing weekday from sun to sat.
for-loop iterates over all the array elements & push the elements into another array which has same week and weekday in a month. So ideally it is fulfilling the purpose in happy scenario, where every time weekday is available. Unlike the above case. Any ideas, guidance will be highly appreciable. Thanks.

A: By looking at your code it looks like you already have the structure in place just need to know how to utilize it.
I'm going to slightly modify your if condition as shown below.
  for(var ind=0; ind<=between.length; ind++){
      var thisDt = new Date(between[ind]);
      if (thisDt.getMonthWeek() === baseDtWk && thisDt.getDay() === baseDtD) {
          datesToBeMarked.push(thisDt);
          console.log(" :Date: " + between[ind] + " :Week: " + thisDt.getMonthWeek());
          console.log("Date entered : " + new Date(between[ind]));
          }
     }

Just by adding a var thisDt = new Date(between[ind]) you can get much cleaner code than before.
1. Now look at your code carefully you are already scanning each date by its week and weekday in your if-condition. And qualified element goes to datesToBeMarked[] array.
2. You need to introduce another if-condition which will walk through the between[] array and will scan every base day (You call it base which is the first element in your between[] array). Now the if-condition will look like as below.
  for(var ind=0; ind<=between.length; ind++){
      var thisDt = new Date(between[ind]);
      if (thisDt.getMonthWeek() === baseDtWk && thisDt.getDay() === baseDtD) {
          datesToBeMarked.push(thisDt);
          console.log(" :Date: " + between[ind] + " :Week: " + thisDt.getMonthWeek());
          console.log("Date entered : " + new Date(between[ind]));
      }else if(thisDt.getDay() === baseDtD && thisDt.getMonth()!==new Date(datesToBeMarked[ind-1]).getMonth()){
                   //some magic needs to be done here
              }
  }

3. What is happening above in the else-if? It is checking your already selected Tuesday with the next element. If it is coming in the same month then reject it. Otherwise let it come inside the if-condition to see the magical move. :)
4. Lastly here inside your else-if you need a function to be called which will find you the next occurrence of the Tuesday if it is not in place initially in the first week as shown in your picture above.
5. Function for finding the day will look like as written below. And you are all set hopefully.
Following function needs to be replaced inside your else-if with this comment //some magic needs to be done here.
function nthDay(nth, weekday, month, year) {
    var nthDate = new Date(year, month + ((nth <= 0) ? 1 : 0), 1);
    var dayofweek = nthDate.getDay();
    var offset = weekday - dayofweek;
    nthDate = new Date(year, month + ((nth <= 0) ? 1 : 0), nthDate.getDate() + (offset + (nth - (offset >= 0 ? 1 : 0)) * 7));
    if (nthDate.getMonth() !== month) {
        return false;
    } else {
        return nthDate;
    }
}

6. Happy Coding :)

On the first day of the NRM (All Holland Dairy Show) the six formidable CRV daughter groups and one theme group paraded in the ring to a full house. Many visitors to the NRM saw the animals 'in person' on our stand on day two.
These visitors included the owners of the cows in the daughter groups who are extremely proud that their animals were chosen to appear at the NRM. The gallery on our Facebook page displays many photos of the owners and their cattle.
At the NRM, it was debut time for a daughter group of heifers by Vitesse. He already has almost 1000 daughters in production, who really stand out for the components in the milk. Vitesse daughters are true free stall barn cows: with an average stature, a wide chest width, good udders and super legs. Vitesse scores +5% for Better Life Health. Using Vitesse is the way to achieve progress in results for udder health, claw health, fertility and ketosis. Vitesse scores +7% for Better Life Efficiency.
Vitesse daughters will help you make real progress for Inet, durability and efficiency. In other words: Vitesse is a bull who transmits amazing legs and great components.
Watch the video of Vitesse's daughter group at the NRM here.
Delta Colorado made an impressive debut appearance at Agriflanders in Ghent, Belgium. The NRM was the scoop for the Netherlands with a collection of fine Colorados. Colorado scores sky-high when it comes to important financial traits such as fertility, udder health, claw health and great longevity. Good, dairy types with wide rumps and super udders: firmly attached, shallow and with a strong suspensory ligament. Black-and-white can also benefit, scoring 113 for udders makes Colorado one of the best udder specialists for this segment too. The amazing legs with incredibly healthy, firm and hard, short claws are also striking traits. Colorado also scores +6% for Better Life Health, making him currently one of the most all-round, daughter-proven, red-and-white bulls. Colorado guarantees health, longevity and fantastic conformation!
Watch the video of Colorado's daughter group at the NRM here.
With an NVI of 384 Danno is the highest ranked, daughter-proven bull in the Netherlands and Flanders. With 2000 productive daughters, he delivers reliability that is as high as his scores. He scores +8% for Better Life Health and +9% for Better Life Efficiency. Danno progeny are stayers and prolific producers of milk, and fat and protein in abundance. One aspect to take into account is his milking speed. CRV therefore advises mainly using Danno on easy milkers. Danno daughters are remarkable for their ability to realise high production with ease. Very few Danno daughters suffer from ketosis, and they score high for udder health. Their amazing legs also stand out. At 107, claw health is very good and they note an excellent score of 115 for locomotion. With his wonderful looking, healthy and efficient daughters Danno is the proud flagship of CRV.
Watch the video of Danno's daughter group at the NRM here.
His oldest daughters are fourth lactation, and he now numbers more than 10,000 productive daughters. G-Force daughters are already productive as heifers, but the subsequent progress they make is truly remarkable The G-Force daughters at the NRM give on average 11,000 kilos of milk with 4.45% fat and 3.62% protein (lactation value 111). Despite high production capacity, G-Force daughters have good fertility and very few problems with ketosis or claw disorders. G-Force really enhances leg quality. He convincingly improves the rear view and locomotion without straightening the leg line. G-Force scores +13% for Better Life Efficiency. So, he will increase your milk production and you can reduce the number of young stock.
Watch the video of -G-Force's daughter group at the NRM here.
Red factor bull Stellando already has 11,000 daughters in milk and more than 500 classified daughters. The animals in the daughter group at the NRM produce on average 11,288 kilos of milk with 4.26% fat and 3.56% protein (lactation value 113). They note scores of 86 for udders, 85 for feet and legs and 86 for overall conformation.
Stellando's score of 104 for fertility, high milk components and high leg score combined with great longevity forms the foundation of his popularity. Stellando breeds cows with a modest stature, a wide chest width and good length in the frame. They have enough power to do excellent work. With Stellando, you breed efficient, fertile cows with high components who can achieve production with ease.
Watch the video of Stellando's daughter group at the NRM here.
Cookiecutter MOM Hunter is beloved for his international pedigree line from a reputed cow family. Hunter daughters are typical dairy type cows with +929 kg milk and neutral components. They are well developed, have plenty of content and angularity. They have a harmonious build with nicely shaped udders: high rear udder placement, a strong suspensory ligament and correct teat placement. In spite of their solid production, Hunter daughters maintain enough condition, scoring notably favourably for claw health and ketosis. At the NRM, Hunter shows how his third calf daughters develop into lovely milkers with great capacity, strong frames and wide, sloping rumps. Hunter breeds a very complete package and his daughters are beauties to behold.
Watch the video of Hunter's daughter group at the NRM here.
CRV's breeding programme stands for quality, reliability and diversity. Better Cows, Better Life! At the NRM this translates in an outstanding theme group: a delegation currently being used as bull dams. This Delta -donor group gives you a unique insight in CRV's innovative and progressive breeding programme. CRV's aim is to make the very best bulls available for its members and clients to enable them to continue to improve and optimise their herds within the framework of their own breeding goals. To accomplish this, CRV only uses animals with a very high genetic predisposition. A description of all the cows in this group was published prior to the NRM.
Watch the video of the theme group embryo donors at the NRM here.

Not ready yet to give up on those simple and healthy recipes with taro, or sato imo/里芋 as they are called in Japan that should please my vegan and vegetarian friends (omnivore friends, just be a little more patient!)!
It is another very simple dish that should provide food with a filling sensation to vegans.
-Peel taro/sato imo and cut into bite-sized pieces. Cut bamboo shoots in approximately size (if needed). Cut the konnyaku/devil's tongue tuber in slightly smaller pieces.
-Boil the Taro/sato imo a little beforehand to soften them.
-In a pan drop the half cooked taro/stao imo, bamboo shoots and konnyaku. Pour dashi until dashi until it had submerged everything.
-Add sake, mirin and salt and bring to boil. Lower fire to low~medium and simmer/stew until soup/stock has disappeared.
-Once the soup has disappeared, a frying sound will be heard. At that moment add the oil and stir fry the lot.
-Once the oil has coated everything, add the miso and mix gently as the taro will be soft by then.
-Add the yuzu koshio/Lime and chili pepper mix just before serving.
This looks and sound really simple to me. I can attempt this! YAY! I think I should be able to get all the ingredients.

Uniquely placed to lead the global cancer research effort
The University of Manchester is home to world-leading research led by experts spanning the full cancer spectrum – from ground-breaking discovery science to innovative clinical trials.
We are in the right place to lead the global cancer research effort. The scientists, doctors and infrastructure required to make this happen are all here in Manchester, alongside a diverse population with higher than average incidence of cancer.
The University's strong links with local hospitals and NHS trusts mean our researchers work side-by-side with clinicians, quite literally taking our research from the lab bench to the bedside.
We are helping to create a world in which more of us survive cancer...
Our global impact is only possible due to our close relationship with the world's biggest charitable funder of cancer research and one of Europe's largest cancer hospitals.
Much of this research is coordinated through the Manchester Cancer Research Centre – a partnership between the University, Cancer Research UK and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.
Together we are helping to create a world in which more of us survive cancer by pioneering innovative and impactful ways of preventing, detecting and treating all types of cancer.
Through our primary care and policy work, solutions to the physical, emotional and economic impacts of cancer are also being studied and put into practice by our researchers.

Personalised treatment
Cancer may be one illness, but it is unique to the individual.
We are working towards a future where every cancer patient receives a personalised treatment plan from the day of diagnosis, based on their genetic make-up and that of their tumour.
We lead numerous early phase trials to test the latest targeted therapies and increasingly use molecular profiling to maximise patient benefit.
Our work in radiotherapy looks to reduce side effects and improve survival.
Through research into cancer prevention and earlier detection, we are helping to catch cancer at a stage when treatment can be most effective.
We host the biggest and best collection of academic researchers assessing blood-based biomarkers in the world, having pioneered this area. This 'liquid biopsy' is the future of cancer diagnosis and monitoring. Through this we will find cancer earlier and treat it better.
Our researchers will soon work on the country's only high-energy NHS proton beam facility with a dedicated research room, enabling scientists to provide doctors with the evidence base for this cutting-edge treatment.

Elliot R. Wolfson is Professor of Religious Studies and the Marsha and Jay Glazer Chair of Jewish Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. A scholar of Jewish mysticism and philosophy, he uses the textual sources of Judaism to examine universal philosophical topics such as the function and processes of the imagination, the paradoxes of temporality, and the mystery of poetic language. Working at the intersection of disciplines and refusing to reduce texts to their simple historical contexts, Wolfson puts texts spanning diverse temporal, cultural, and religious periods in creative counterpoint. His sensitivity to language reveals its fragility as it simultaneously points to the uncertainty of meaning. The result is a creative reading of both Judaism and philosophy that informs and is informed by poetic sensibility and philosophical hermeneutics.

We are delighted today to introduce our latest signing, a young dedicated winemaker producing top Spatburgunders from the illustrious sandstone vineyards of the Churfranken region. Very much a rising star, Benedikt was brought to our attention by a number of our Riesling producers who had all found much to admire in the supple, polished, pure and bright Pinot Noirs he is fast becoming known for.
Red wine production in this particular spot in Franken is said to date back to the 13th century so there's plenty of pedigree in the steep vineyards and old Pinot Noir vines of this little red wine island, 65kms to the south east of Frankfurt. Neighbouring estate Rudulf Furst really put this region on the map for serious fine wines, and now joined by Benedikt, there's a definite buzz around this tiny but heavily terraced zone.

Berks is an unincorporated community in Lancaster and Saline counties, Nebraska, United States. The community is located approximately three miles northeast of Crete on the Burlington Northern Railroad Line and one-half mile north of Nebraska Highway 33.

History
Some people hold Berks was the name of an early settler, while others believe the community was named after Berks County, Pennsylvania. The name was also probably chosen to conform with the alphabetical stops on the new Burlington & Quincy Railroad line traveling westward from Lincoln: Berks, Crete, Dorchester, Exeter, Fairmont, Grafton, Huxley, etc. The Berks post office was discontinued in 1912.
