History of Hispanic and Latino Americans
The history of Latinos and Hispanics in the United States is wide-ranging, spanning more than four hundred years and varying from region to region within the United States. The Latino and/or Hispanic presence in the United States is the second longest, after the Native American. Contemporaneously with their explorations and conquests elsewhere in America, most famously those of Hernán Cortés in Mexico and Francisco Pizarro in Peru, Spaniards pioneered the present-day United States, too. Hispanics, or descendants of Spaniards, became the first American citizens in the newly acquired Southwest territory after the Mexican-American War, and remained a majority in several states until the 20th century.
Latino Education in the United States
Winner of a 2005 Critics Choice Award fromThe American Educational Studies Association, this is a groundbreaking collection of oral histories, letters, interviews, and governmental reports related to the history of Latino education in the US. Victoria-María MacDonald examines the intersection of history, Latino culture, and education while simultaneously encouraging undergraduates and graduate students to reexamine their relationship to the world of education and their own histories.
The Promotion and Distribution of U.S. Latino Films
This book documents the barriers to success encountered by U.S. Latino films over the past three decades, as their proponents sought to secure distribution deals and prove the films' worth as commodities. Over time, more studio and studio specialty divisions have acquired and circulated them, but many film distributors still do not understand the nuances of the U.S. Latino market and how to promote these films. The book includes interviews with marketers, publicists, and producers, and secondary research material from trade publications, newspaper articles, and websites, centering on marketing strategies, release dates, and box office figures. One of the first academic works to analyze the concurrent social and industrial factors within the U.S. Latino community and the larger Hollywood marketplace, this book examines and illuminates the history of U.S. Latino films.
ISBN Latinos in the United States ( What Everyone Needs to Know® ) Buch Gebundenes Buch Englisch 208 Seiten
As the largest and youngest minority group in the United States, the 60 million Latinos living in the U.S. represent the second-largest concentration of Hispanic people in the entire world, after Mexico. Needless to say, the population of Latinos in the U.S. is causing a shift, not only changing the demographic landscape of the country, but also impacting national culture, politics, and spoken language. While Latinos comprise a diverse minority group-with variousreligious beliefs, political ideologies, and social values-commentators on both sides of the political divide have lumped Latino Americans into a homogenous group that is often misunderstood.Latinos in the United States: What Everyone Need to Know® provides a comprehensive, multifaceted exploration of Latino American history and culture and the forces shaping this minority group in the U.S. From exploring the origins of the term "latino" and examining what constitutes Latin America, to tracing topical issues like DREAMers, the mass incarceration of Latino males, and the controversial relationship between Latin America and the United States, Ilan Stavans seeks tounderstand the complexities and unique position of Latino Americans. Throughout he breaks down the various subgroups within the Latino minority (Mexican-Americans, Dominican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, Puerto Ricans on the mainland, and so on), and the degree to which these groups constitute-or don't-a homogenouscommunity, their history, and where their future challenges lay. He sees Latino culture as undergoing dramatic changes as a result of acculturation-changes that are fostering a new "mestizo" identity that is part Hispanic and part American. However, Latinos living in the United States are also impacting American culture. As Ilan Stavans argues, no other minority group will have a more decisive impact on the future of the United States.
Queer Latino Testimonio, Keith Haring, and Juanito Xtravaganza
In the tradition of the Latin American testimonio, this is the story of Juan Rivera, a.k.a. Juanito Xtravaganza, a Latino runaway youth who ends up homeless in the streets of New York in the late 70s and becomes partner of the internationally famous 1980s Pop artist Keith Haring during some of the most frenetically productive years of his brief life, as told to the author and retold by him. A hybrid text - part testimonio, part linguistic and cultural analysis, and part art criticism - this is also a history of New York Latino neighborhoods during this period of devastating disinvestment and gentrification, as well as a personal, heart-felt meditation on the art of listening and the ethical limits of representing queer Latino lives.

Rare set of twin manatee calves spotted in Homosassa Springs
(Citrus County and FWS)
A rare set of manatee twins have been spotted in a local spring!
The Citrus County Visitors & Convention Bureau along with United States Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) officials announced the rare sighting Monday morning, saying the calves were seen swimming with their mother in Homosassa Springs.
Florida manatees are listed as endangered, and wildlife officials say while only two percent of all manatee births result in twins, it's even rarer for the babies and their mother to be spotted in a Florida spring.
"In the past 10 years, maybe I've spotted a dozen set of twins, but never once have I seen them in the springs- nor have I seen a mother and her calves quite so visible in Homosassa waters," said FWS Visitor Services Specialist, Ivan Vicente. "That's because nursing mothers usually isolate themselves in low-trafficked areas to keep the calves protected from mainly people, only this time they aren't as isolated."
Making the sighting even more uncommon, experts say, is that it happened in the summer.
"While the winter months draw the largest number of manatees to Crystal River, manatee spotting in the summertime is particularly special because that's when you can see, and actually swim, with the babies," said Adam Thomas, Citrus County Visitors & Convention Bureau Director. "Citrus County is the only place in the United States where you can legally get in the water and swim with the manatees in the winter months, and words truly cannot express how amazing it is to be graced by one of these gentle giants, especially when you see twins swimming alongside Mom."
Vicente predicts the mother will remain in the protective springs of Homosassa for the next few weeks, until she feels confident enough to introduce her calves to coastal areas along the Gulf of Mexico.
Like their large, fully-aquatic, herbivorous relatives, wildlife officials say the twins could grow up to be 13 feet long, and weight up to 1,300 pounds. They may also live up to 80 years in the wild.

On my most recent trip to New Delhi, I had the opportunity to explore a leather factory. It was insightful to see raw animal hides being mechanically & chemically treated and transformed into a generic "wet-blue" base color. The company is expanding into the tanning business to provide fully customizable leather solutions for their customers.
A neighboring factory was purchased for this expansion and these initial photographs aim to capture the essence and history of this location.

This is the third edition of a book originally published in the 1970s; it provides a systematic and nicely organized presentation of the elegant method of using Boolean-valued models to prove independence results. Four things are new in the third edition: background material on Heyting algebras, a chapter on 'Boolean-valued analysis', one on using Heyting algebras to understand intuitionistic set theory, and an appendix explaining how Boolean and Heyting algebras look from the perspective of category theory. The book presents results from a number of set theorists and includes an insightful and informative foreword by Dana Scott. Bell's presentation is lively and pleasant to read, and the material is given in a nicely cohesive way.One obvious reason to be interested in independence proofs is that they concern the important question, what is the set-theoretic hierarchy like? The proofs in Bell's book cover some of the most basic and fundamental independence results, such as those concerning the size of the continuum, the independence of the Axiom of Choice from ZF, cardinal collapsing, Souslin's hypothesis, and Martin's Axiom.Since Gödel's incompleteness theorem, it has been known that for any serious candidate list of set-theoretic axioms, there will be statements neither provable nor disprovable from those axioms. What is really interesting, however, and what the independence proofs discussed here show, is how many of the most natural questions about sets are not decided by the standard axioms of ZFC, and how …

Tragedy Strikes As Four Army Personnel, Two Porters Killed In Avalanche In Siachen Glacier
In a tragic incident, four Indian Army personnel and two civilian porters were killed after they were hit by an avalanche in northern part of the Siachen Glacier, officials said. A group of eight persons, including six Army personnel, were struck by the avalanche at an altitude of 19,000 ft around 3 pm, they said. Two Army personnel survived the avalanche. Rescue teams from nearby posts were rushed to the location after the incident, an Army spokesperson said.

"All eight personnel were pulled out of the avalanche debris. Seven individuals were critically injured in the incident," the official said.
Despite best efforts, four soldiers and two civilian porters succumbed to extreme hypothermia, the official said.
Netizens offered their condolences on social media and hailed the brave soldiers who continuously guard the borders in such conditions.

In February this year, one Indian Army soldier was killed and five others are missing after a powerful avalanche hit the Shipki La pass along the China border in Pooh block of Kinnaur district in Himachal Pradesh.
Two separate teams, the Army's JK Rifles unit and ITBP were patrolling in Namgia-Dogri when the avalanche hit in the morning.
While the ITBP personnel were rescued immediately by the search teams, five army men were buried under the snow.
Shipki La is a mountain pass and border post, at an elevation of 3.930 m above the sea level with a dozen buildings of significant size on the India-China border.
The Siachen Glacier at the height of around 20,000 ft in the Karakoram range is known as the highest militarised zone in the world where the soldiers have to battle frostbite and high winds.
Avalanches and landslides are common at the glacier during the winters and temperatures can drop to as low as minus 60 degrees Celsius.
In 2016, 10 Indian soldiers were buried and killed.
About 900 Indian Army soldiers alone have died on the glacier since 1984, when Indian forces took complete control of Siachen.
The glacier is located at the northern end of the Line of Control that divides Kashmir, which India and Pakistan have fought over since 1947.

Obesity surgery is a serious decision to make if you are obese and wish to lead a healthier life. There are many complications that can occur in addition to the benefits. For example, if you have stomach stapling done you may pop a staple at some future point after the surgery. If you get a band it could slip. Either way you'll need corrective surgery. Beneficially your stomach will be much smaller in size and unable to hold as much food, which in turn should allow you dramatic weight loss.
Just because your stomach is smaller doesn't necessarily mean that your appetite will be smaller after you recover. Some people find that initially their appetite is dramatically reduced but after their bodies heal from the surgery old habits return. This can be especially difficult if you are used to eating quickly and ordering large amounts of food. You should write a personal note to yourself or several copies of the same note that say something to the effect of 'Remember to chew slowly and pay attention to how much food you are eating.' After an obesity surgery you will fill up very quickly and can inadvertently make yourself sick.
It is possible to find ways to cheat on your new weight loss plan and thus regain your weight. One of these is simply to 'graze' all day. Even if you can only eat small amounts at a time you can still gain weight if you constantly eat tiny portions of high calorie foods during the day. This is unfortunent and a common occurrence in patients with whom the obesity surgery doesn't take. Also continuing a sedentary lifestyle will hinder your efforts. Its important to start and stay active. One way to stay active and a suggested way for obesity surgery patients is walking.

Liquid chrom-atography is to the protein re-searcher what the hammer is to the carpenter. Liquid chromatographic techniques comprise a major portion of the repertoire of protocols the protein researcher can call upon to purify and analyze proteins. Modern liquid chromatography has come a long way since its infancy-when early matrices were capable of providing only crude separations-to modern matrices and technologies that can accomplish the purification of a protein to homogeneity in a single chromatographic step. A list of representative purification applications for matrices available today is presented in the Application Guide (see page 19). The term chromatography originates from Mikhail Tswett's work on plant pigments (chromophores) in the early 1900s. But modern liquid chromatography had its beginnings in the late 1950s with the introduction of cellulose-based ion exchangers (E.A. Petersen, H.A. Sorbet, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 78:751-755, 1956) and cross-linked dextran size exclusion media (J. Porath, P....


Well today I am meeting someone new. Months ago I stopped dating because I was still in love with my ex. I couldn't move forward without letting go of that. Now, having been freed of that obsession, I am meeting someone today I feel really positive about. We talked yesterday all evening and into the night. I love the way he talks about family and about his daughter. He doesn't drink or do drugs and he's working on quitting chewing. He likes the mountains over the ocean and he likes waterfalls and hiking. The things we have in common are crazy coincidental. Every time I've made a date I have broken it. The closer it gets to time to meet the less I want to take time out of my life for someone. But with him I can't wait…I want to spend time with him in person and see if there is the same connection I feel right now. I am hopeful…he is positive and sweet and respectful and complimentary. He is exactly my type and he seems to think I'm pretty great. Fingers crossed!!

Has Telstra's time to shine finally arrived?
It's been a long time between drinks for Telstra shareholders.
More accustomed to share price falls and dividend cuts, they had an uncommon opportunity to smile last week when the company's share price rose 7.8 per cent in a single day.
The reason? Unfortunately — at least in one sense — it wasn't because of Telstra's brilliance, or a wonderful set of sales or profit figures. However, the news was probably every bit as positive as if it was.
You see, growth comes from two areas — a growing market, or taking market share from your competitor. Hopefully, both.
Competition is usually fierce and rarely more so than in the telecommunications sector, where reselling the NBN is a commodity effort with lacklustre markets.
For Telstra, the great hope was — and is — its mobile business.
When competitor TPG announced plans to enter the telco race with a low-cost mobile offering, Telstra faced a direct assault on its brightest star.
Any new competitor can be dangerous but when that competitor is TPG, you should be doubly worried.
And while the company put on a brave face, Telstra's shareholders suffered, with its shares dropping as low as $2.62 last June.
Until the other day, when the share price jumped as high as $3.21.
The reason was that TPG announced its decision to not proceed with its planned mobile network. It blamed regulatory blockages for its preferred network partner, Huawei, for the decision.
TPG explained that Huawei's equipment would have allowed for cheap and easy migration from 4G to 5G. Without it, a 5G network using a different supplier would have been, according to TPG, too expensive to pursue.
It's also the happy reality that TPG's withdrawal from mobile telephony makes Australian Competition and Consumer Commission approval of its merger with Vodafone much more likely, and saves the company from building what would likely have been a competing (and hence redundant, post-merger) network.
And what the market knows well is that less competition in mobile is good for Telstra, which has the most to gain from any reduction in competition.
A TPG-Vodafone merger is likely to lead to a less aggressive rival for Telstra; one that will happily strip out costs to boost profit and not chase market share with price points that cause pain to its competitors.
That's great news for Telstra — especially with the rollout of 5G just around the corner.
Telstra would much rather focus on its premium product — its speed and coverage and charging a commensurately higher price — rather than be dragged into a price war that would have been painful for the company and its shareholders.
Telstra shareholders might be forgiven for thinking they've been here before.
The company has gone from hero to villain and back again more times that many of them would like to recall, including a cut to its once-untouchable dividend.
But if the four large telcos become three and Telstra is able to take a lead on 5G, the company is poised to again find itself in the market's good graces. There's no guarantee but, for the first time in a while, the odds might just be on Telstra's side.
Telstra is scheduled to deliver its earnings tomorrow.

North Quay Terminal
Tours, Free Type
One of the best ways to take in Brisbane's sights is to travel along the Brisbane River on a CityHopper ferry. Part of the TransLink transportation network, CityHoppers offer free service between North Quay and Sydney Street. The ferry passes by or under popular attractions like the City Botanic Gardens and Story Bridge, giving passengers a chance to snap some superb photos and take in the sights. Visitors are welcome to ride the entire voyage or hop on and off along the way.
Travelers rave about this convenient, reliable and cost-effective service. But keep in mind that this ferry is slower than the city's fee-based CityCat service, with most journeys between the route's first and last terminals lasting approximately 45 minutes. Also, consider sitting on the top deck when the weather is nice to enjoy some of the route's best vistas.
CityHopper ferries operate every half hour between 6 and 12:30 a.m. daily. North Quay, downtown's most convenient departure point, sits by the Pacific Motorway near Victoria Bridge and the Queens Gardens. Other ferry terminals can be found in the South Bank, Kangaroo Point and New Farm neighborhoods; at the Maritime Museum; and on the eastern edge of the central business district. To get to one of the terminals, it's best to walk or rely on public transportation, but free parking is typically available near CityHopper ferry docks situated outside the CBD. On-board amenities include two levels of seating and restrooms. Plan you trip on a CityHopper by visiting TransLink's website.

#1 Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mount Coot-tha
After you've admired the sweeping views at the Brisbane Lookout, Mount Coot-tha, walk (or drive) about 1.5 miles northeast to the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mount Coot-tha. At this 138-acre subtropical conservatory, you'll find a host of native and exotic plants, not to mention the largest collection of Australian rainforest trees in the world. Within the garden you'll come across several themed spaces, including the Japanese Garden, the Lagoon and Bamboo Grove, the Fern House and the Fragrant Plants and Herb Garden – all containing different varieties of plantlife. When you're not admiring the spectacular flora, see if you can spot the fauna: Visitors say you'll likely come across iguanas and other reptiles, not to mention plenty of insects and birds.
Past visitors said the gardens provided a beautiful setting for kids to burn off some energy. The Brisbane City Council also offers a "Hide 'n' Seek Children's Trail" with surprises and facts for youngsters to discover as they make their way through the garden. And do be sure to bring your camera since this outdoor attraction boasts plenty of photo-op-worthy spots, including areas with superb views of the city.

DfE rejects PISA's new dimension
I see that the BBC is reporting (thanks, NAEE) that the new PISA tests assessing global competences will not be taken in England. The DfE is, it seems, joining the United States, Germany, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland and Ireland in deciding not to do so. Schools in Scotland, Australia and Canada will, however, as I expect will the Welsh.
A Scottish government spokeswoman said it was keen on any test that would help young people to "thrive in today's world". Since when did any school test do this, I wondered. She went on:
"The results will help us understand how we can further support young people to be responsible global citizens, capable of taking part in local, regional and global decision making and debate."
The BBC report said:
"The concept of global competence was intended to test how well young people were prepared to work alongside people from different cultures and with different beliefs. The test will measure tolerance, cultural awareness and how well teenagers can distinguish between reliable sources of information and fake news. It will consider issues such as racism, cultural identity and prejudice."
Andreas Schleicher, the OECD's education director, said the success of education systems had to be measured on more than exam results. Alongside globalisation and the rise of social media, Schleicher said, there had been a "polarisation" in beliefs, which meant that some teenagers could be left with little awareness of the views of other people. Schleicher says that the new PISA test is underpinned by the idea that young people should understand other cultures, show respect for "human dignity" and be able to objectively analyse information.
He added that although OECD has been trailing these plans for a new kind of PISA test for the past year, some countries were reluctant to be compared on these measures, and there had been a "hesitation" about moving from discussing students' beliefs to "hard data" from testing them. "I take a different view" he said, "the only way to get serious ... is to look at the truth."
Truth? It's hard to know where to start with this balony – other than to note that Schleicher has a lot of personal kudos invested in the new test as I noted last month. His notion that the test would reveal the countries that paid only "lip service" to the ideas of tolerance and inclusion is risible. "What do students actually think? What do students actually know?", he asks. What will he think if they say they think (or know) his new test is rubbish, I wonder? Of course, that's one question they won't be asked.
It is regrettable, however, that DfE has said that it will not allow schools to take part because this would place an "additional burden" on them. This is the argument of scoundrels as I noted the other day about PIRLS. Much better to say that the tests are nonsense, as they undoubtedly are.

Perfectly drizzle your sticky condiment into tea or on biscuits without leaving a mess. Rather than a spoon, the honey dipper will evenly and consistently spread honey over the top of a pastry. The wood finish effectively waterproofs itself, allowing foods and liquids to easily dribble off rather than soak into it.
Open that honey jar steady and slow, submerge the dipper and twist to let honey stick to the dipper's grooves on all sides. Take it out and twist again over whatever food you're sweetening. To put in tea, dip the whole thing in a cup of hot water and swirl.
Wash in warm water with regular soap. If it ever looks dry, use pure corn oil. Just a little dab on a paper towel will be plenty.
The Scottsman who makes these honey dippers - as well as hundreds of other wooden tableware items - was on his way up north to Canada when he fell in love with Vermont. Instead of continuing on his route, he brought his woodworking talents to Wilmington, and has remained there ever since.
He began as an independent craftsman, his business going through all the traditional stages of borrowed workshops, house basements, tiny converted gas stations and property purchases followed by five factory extensions.
As he heeded a large number of requests from stores, he finally opened a factory which currently employs eight full time and four part-time craftsmen, some of who have been with him for over 25 years. Since 1967, his craftsmanship has imbued the company with a tradition and reputation of quality.
Transfer your honey, molasses or sorghum from the jar without the mess. Turned from New England yellow birch by a 100 year old woodenware company. Made in Vermont.

Redmi K20 officially confirmed to launch as a flagship killer
· May 14, 2019
Yesterday, we got to know that Redmi would launch K20 & K20 Pro as its flagship smartphones soon. Now, the company has confirmed the same, at least for the Redmi K20. The CEO of Redmi, Lu Weibing, revealed the name today on Weibo & explained why the company is going for the all-new "K" series for its upcoming flagships.
Well, "K" is for "Killer" as the company claims the upcoming Redmi K20 to be a Flagship Killer like last year's Poco F1. Considering "20", he joked on Weibo saying that Xiaomi is on 9 (Mi 9) while Huawei has already reached 30 (P30). So, Redmi decided to start from 20 for its flagship.
Now, the company didn't reveal if there is indeed a "Pro" version of the K20. But, if there is one, then as per previous leak, it is coming in four storage options – 6GB + 64GB, 6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 128GB & 8GB + 256GB. The color options are Carbon Fiber Black, Glacier Blue, and Flame Red.
Some rumored specifications include 6.39-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display, Snapdragon 855 processor, 20MP pop-up selfie camera, triple rear cameras & 4,000mAh battery. We are also expecting the K20 to launch outside the Chinese market as Poco F2. Let's hope to get something impressive from the brand this time.

In 2004, the KARGER published "Burn Regenerative Medicine and therapy" had a great impact on the world. At that time, well-known life scientists from Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries visited China to exchange stem cells with Xu Rongxiang; the Swedish Scientific Committee commissioned the national television station to visit China; the University of Denver of American history. Xu Rongxiang made a special academic report at the University. The book has been collected by the National Medical Library of the United States, Harvard, Oxford, Standford, Yale, MIT, University College London, University of Sydney, University of Tokyo, and the Nobel Institute for physiology and medicine, the Karolinska Institutet, and other top universities in Sweden.
In February 2013, the president of the United States, Obama, was published in the state of the Union address. In the chapter on science and technology, the "use of drugs to regenerate damaged organs" is a new national policy for the development of life science. This is the core of Mabel's patent rights registered in the United States.
In the middle of 2013, Xu Rongxiang opened the secret and actual achievements of human life in the world. The media of the American society, Reuters, China new society, Bloomberg, Agence France-Presse, TASS and other media published the results of Xu Rongxiang's regeneration of life technology. Xu Rongxiang also won the "Golden Biatec" International Award for the European informal economic forum because of "completing the science and technology of human organ regeneration and changing the rules of human science". Regenerative life science began to gain more discourse power and dominance in the world and become an important pulse in the development of regenerative life science.
In May 2015, Xu Peng carried on the banner of regenerative life and led MEBO into the high-speed track of the development of the world. It not only strengthened the international academic platform cooperation, rammed the scientific academic value and academic status by cooperating with many well-known international institutions and research institutions, and continued to participate in the international health affairs, but also continued to participate in the international health affairs. The rise of MEBO's international influence and appeal has opened up the golden age of MEBO's global development.


It would appear as if Manchester United has thrown their hat in the ring for Napoli defensive midfielder Jorginho, after reports over the weekend suggested that new Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp was looking to make the Brazilian born Italian his first signing at Anfield.
United manager Louis van Gaal is also interested in the 23-year-old as a replacement for the aging Michael Carrick as the Red Devils boss evaluates his long-term holding midfield options.
Both teams could still however face a bigger threat than each other following reports that French Champions Paris Saint-Germain has also been sending scouts to watch the former Verona player.

Musgrave and Airtricity Agree All-Ireland Green Electricity Deal Worth €25m
July 26, 2010 by thomas
Airtricity is to supply green electricity to Musgrave Group's network of depots across Ireland in a deal worth Eur25 million. Under the terms of the contract, Airtricity will supply green electricity to all Musgrave Group owned facilities on the island of Ireland, both North and South and via an affinity scheme to its SuperValu, Centra and Daybreak stores in the Republic of Ireland and SuperValu, Centra and Mace stores in Northern Ireland. The agreement is the largest all-island green electricity deal of its kind.
The contract with Airtricity further underscores Musgrave Group's commitment to supporting the development of Ireland's renewable energy infrastructure and will provide the business with an opportunity to further reduce its carbon footprint and its operating costs. The new 'green' electricity contract with Airtricity extends Musgrave's current use of electricity generated from renewables into Northern Ireland. The Airtricity deal will allow Musgrave displace more than 130,000 tonnes of CO2, which is the equivalent of taking more than 60,000 family cars off Irish roads annually.

(Also see World Child Hunger Facts)
This fact sheet is divided into the following sections:
Hunger concepts and definitions
Number of hungry people in the world
Children and hunger
Does the world produce enough food to feed everyone?
Causes of hunger
Progress in reducing the number of hungry people
Hunger is a term which has three meanings (Oxford English Dictionary 1971)
the uneasy or painful sensation caused by want of food; craving appetite. Also the exhausted condition caused by want of food
the want or scarcity of food in a country
a strong desire or craving World hunger refers to the second definition, aggregated to the world level. The related technical term (in this case operationalized in medicine) is either malnutrition, or, if malnutrition is taken to refer to both undernutrition and overnutrition, undernutrition. Both malnutrition and undernutrition refer to not having enough food.
Malnutrition (or undernutrition) is a general term that indicates a lack of some or all nutritional elements necessary for human health (Medline Plus Medical Encyclopedia).
There are two basic types of malnutrition. The first and most important is protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). It is basically a lack of calories and protein. Food is converted into energy by humans, and the energy contained in food is measured by calories. Protein is necessary for key body functions including provision of essential amino acids and development and maintenance of muscles. This is the most lethal form of malnutrition/hunger and is the type of malnutrition that is referred to when world hunger is discussed.
The second type of malnutrition, also very important, is micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) deficiency. This is not the type of malnutrition that is referred to when world hunger is discussed, though it is certainly very important.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that nearly 870 million people of the 7.1 billion people in the world, or one in eight, were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2010-2012. Almost all the hungry people, 852 million, live in developing countries, representing 15 percent of the population of developing counties. There are 16 million people undernourished in developed countries (FAO 2012).
The number of undernourished people decreased nearly 30 percent in Asia and the Pacific, from 739 million to 563 million, largely due to socio-economic progress in many countries in the region. The prevalence of undernourishment in the region decreased from 23.7 percent to 13.9 percent.
Latin America and the Caribbean also made progress, falling from 65 million hungry in 1990-1992 to 49 million in 2010-2012, while the prevalence of undernourishment dipped from 14.6 percent to 8.3 percent. But the rate of progress has slowed recently.
The number of hungry grew in Africa over the period, from 175 million to 239 million, with nearly 20 million added in the last few years. Nearly one in four are hungry. And in sub-Saharan Africa, the modest progress achieved in recent years up to 2007 was reversed, with hunger rising 2 percent per year since then.
Developed regions also saw the number of hungry rise, from 13 million in 2004-2006 to 16 million in 2010-2012, reversing a steady decrease in previous years from 20 million in 1990-1992 (FAO 2012).
The above is based on the new estimates of world hunger by the FAO using revised proceedures. It is worth noting that the new estimates give a different answer than the old estimates as the graph below shows (Lappe, 2013).
Children are the most visible victims of undernutrition. Children who are poorly nourished suffer up to 160 days of illness each year. Poor nutrition plays a role in at least half of the 10.9 million child deaths each year--five million deaths. Undernutrition magnifies the effect of every disease, including measles and malaria. The estimated proportions of deaths in which undernutrition is an underlying cause are roughly similar for diarrhea (61%), malaria (57%), pneumonia (52%), and measles (45%) (Black 2003, Bryce 2005). Malnutrition can also be caused by diseases, such as the diseases that cause diarrhea, by reducing the body's ability to convert food into usable nutrients.
According to the most recent estimate that Hunger Notes could find, malnutrition, as measured by stunting, affects 32.5 percent of children in developing countries--one of three (de Onis 2000). Geographically, more than 70 percent of malnourished children live in Asia, 26 percent in Africa and 4 percent in Latin America and the Caribbean. In many cases, their plight began even before birth with a malnourished mother. Under-nutrition among pregnant women in developing countries leads to 1 out of 6 infants born with low birth weight. This is not only a risk factor for neonatal deaths, but also causes learning disabilities, mental, retardation, poor health, blindness and premature death.
Take a three-question hunger quiz on this section
The world produces enough food to feed everyone. World agriculture produces 17 percent more calories per person today than it did 30 years ago, despite a 70 percent population increase. This is enough to provide everyone in the world with at least 2,720 kilocalories (kcal) per person per day according to the most recent estimate that we could find (FAO 2002, p.9). The principal problem is that many people in the world do not have sufficient land to grow, or income to purchase, enough food.
What are the causes of hunger?
What are the causes of hunger is a fundamental question, with varied answers.
Poverty is the principal cause of hunger. The causes of poverty include poor people's lack of resources, an extremely unequal income distribution in the world and within specific countries, conflict, and hunger itself. As of 2008 (2005 statistics), the World Bank has estimated that there were an estimated 1,345 million poor people in developing countries who live on $1.25 a day or less.1 This compares to the later FAO estimate of 1.02 billion undernourished people. Extreme poverty remains an alarming problem in the world's developing regions, despite some progress that reduced "dollar--now $1.25-- a day" poverty from (an estimated) 1900 million people in 1981, a reduction of 29 percent over the period. Progress in poverty reduction has been concentrated in Asia, and especially, East Asia, with the major improvement occurring in China. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the number of people in extreme poverty has increased. The statement that 'poverty is the principal cause of hunger' is, though correct, unsatisfying. Why then are (so many) people poor? The next section summarizes Hunger Notes answer.
Harmful economic systems are the principal cause of poverty and hunger. Hunger Notes believes that the principal underlying cause of poverty and hunger is the ordinary operation of the economic and political systems in the world. Essentially control over resources and income is based on military, political and economic power that typically ends up in the hands of a minority, who live well, while those at the bottom barely survive, if they do. We have described the operation of this system in more detail in our special section on Harmful economic systems.
Conflict as a cause of hunger and poverty. At the end of 2005, the global number of refugees was at its lowest level in almost a quarter of a century. Despite some large-scale repatriation movements, the last three years have witnessed a significant increase in refugee numbers, due primarily to the violence taking place in Iraq and Somalia. By the end of 2008, the total number of refugees under UNHCR's mandate exceeded 10 million. The number of conflict-induced internally displaced persons (IDPs) reached some 26 million worldwide at the end of the year . Providing exact figures on the number of stateless people is extremely difficult But, important, (relatively) visible though it is, and anguishing for those involved conflict is less important as poverty (and its causes) as a cause of hunger. (Using the statistics above 1.02 billion people suffer from chronic hunger while 36 million people are displaced [UNHCR 2008])
Hunger is also a cause of poverty, and thus of hunger. By causing poor health, low levels of energy, and even mental impairment, hunger can lead to even greater poverty by reducing people's ability to work and learn, thus leading to even greater hunger.
Climate change Climate change is increasingly viewed as a current and future cause of hunger and poverty. Increasing drought, flooding, and changing climatic patterns requiring a shift in crops and farming practices that may not be easily accomplished are three key issues. See the Hunger Notes special report: Hunger, the environment, and climate change for further information, especially articles in the section: Climate change, global warming and the effect on poor people such as Global warming causes 300,000 deaths a year, study says and Could food shortages bring down civilization?
There are two sets of issues that must be considered in evaluating progress: estimations of hunger, and goals set.
Estimations of hunger. As indicated above, the two FAO estimations differ. Specifically, since 1992, the earlier estimate has hunger going up, while the later has hunger going down.
Secondly, how do you evaluate progress—what goals have been set.
The target set at the 1996 World Food Summit was to halve the number of undernourished people by 2015 from their number in 1990-92. The target set by the Millenium goals was to halve the proportion of hungry people by 2015
World Food Summit target. The target set at the 1996 World Food Summit was to halve the number of undernourished people by 2015 from their number in 1990-92. (FAO uses three year averages in its calculation of undernourished people.)
Progress using the old estimate of world hunger. The number of undernourished people in developing countries using the old estimate was 824 million in 1990-92. In 2010-2012, the number had increased to 870 million people. So rather than being cut in half to 420, the number has increased to 870 million.
Using the new estimates of world hunger, the number of undernourished people was 1 billion in 1990-92 and had decreased to 870 in 2010-12, with the goal 500 million people.
Millenium goal target. Using the old estimates, there were 824 million hungry people in 1990-92 and the world population was 5,370 million (US census estimates for 1991). Thus the proportion was .143 and halving it would be .071. The current proportion (870 million hungry divided by 2013 world population of 7,095) is .122. Thus in 2013 the world is .051 of world population away from reaching this target, or 362 million people.
Using the new estimates, there were 1 billion hungry people in 1990-92 and and the world population was 5,370 million (US census estimates for 1991). Thus the proportion was .18 and halving it would be .09. The current proportion (870 million hungry divided by 2013 world population of 7,095) is .123. Thus in 2013, the world is .033 away, or 234 million people, from reaching this target.
Thus, in summary, the world is from 870 million to 234 million people away from reaching a hunger reduction goal, depending on which goal and which estimate is chosen.
Quite a few trace elements or micronutrients--vitamins and minerals--are important for health. 1 out of 3 people in developing countries are affected by vitamin and mineral deficiencies, according to the World Health Organization. Three, perhaps the most important in terms of health consequences for poor people in developing countries, are:
Vitamin A Vitamin A deficiency can cause night blindness and reduces the body's resistance to disease. In children Vitamin A deficiency can also cause growth retardation. Between 100 and 140 million children are vitamin A deficient. An estimated 250,000 to 500 000 vitamin A-deficient children become blind every year, half of them dying within 12 months of losing their sight. (World Health Organization)
Iron Iron deficiency is a principal cause of anemia. Two billion people—over 30 percent of the world's population—are anemic, mainly due to iron deficiency, and, in developing countries, frequently exacerbated by malaria and worm infections. For children, health consequences include premature birth, low birth weight, infections, and elevated risk of death. Later, physical and cognitive development are impaired, resulting in lowered school performance. For pregnant women, anemia contributes to 20 percent of all maternal deaths (World Health Organization).
Iodine Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) jeopardize children´s mental health– often their very lives. Serious iodine deficiency during pregnancy may result in stillbirths, abortions and congenital abnormalities such as cretinism, a grave, irreversible form of mental retardation that affects people living in iodine-deficient areas of Africa and Asia. IDD also causes mental impairment that lowers intellectual prowess at home, at school, and at work. IDD affects over 740 million people, 13 percent of the world's population. Fifty million people have some degree of mental impairment caused by IDD (World Health Organization).

My guest in this episode, Dave MacGill from Moo Brew, is a pillar of the brewing community in Tasmania and has worked for over a decade in one of the first craft breweries established in the state.
Moo Brew appeared in local bottleshops and high end grocery stores in 2005, selling its flavoursome ales in fancy bottles with labels designed by artist John Kelly…it's fair to say that it was a little bit of a shock to the traditional mainstream drinker in Tasmania who were used to picking between the Draught Beer from either the North or the South of the state.
But somehow it worked, and drinkers began enjoy what a Pale Ale should be, how a true Pilsener tasted and the joys that could be found in a Dark Ale. After helping to establish Moo Brew, Dave moved to Melbourne for a few years where he set up Temple Brewery. In 2013, he returned to Tasmania, and Moo Brew, to take up the position of General Manager and lead the now well established brewery into the future in a very competitive market.
Dave has been heavily involved in the Aussie brewing industry for many years in many different capacities, brewer, general manager and Vice President of the Tassie Independent Brewers Association.

NHL Offseason
Dallas Stars Prospect Rankings: December 2020 Edition
Some new faces help make the organization's prospect pool the best and most balanced it has looked in quite some time.

Out of all the years that I've been doing these Dallas Stars prospect rankings for Defending Big D, this edition has definitely been the trickiest to put together.
It's always a little bit challenging to take each year's draft crop, a bunch of fresh-faced 18- and 19-year-olds, and slot them in alongside guys who are already knocking on the NHL's door. This time around there's also a talented free-agent signing out of the NCAA to include, while someone who once made it inside the top 10 missed the entire 2020 calendar year due to injury, making him a lot harder to slot.
Oh, and there's also the whole global pandemic thing going on. You may have heard of it? It shut down the entire hockey world in the spring. Some prospects have been able to resume playing lately, others haven't seen game action in months, while others still have travelled thousands of miles just to keep their legs warm and their skills sharp.
To call it a mess would be something of an understatement.
But nevertheless, if there's one thing that COVID-19 has taught all of us it's that we have to do our best with whatever life throws our way. I didn't want to let 2020 end without another edition of these rankings that included the Stars' newest prospects from this year's draft. Some prospects are actually playing right now (for now), and I think we're all a little starved for some hockey content right at this point. So here we are.
The previous edition of these rankings, which came out in February, can be found here.
I should mention now that I have slightly changed the definition of prospect that I had been using previously, which is now this: "Any player who played fewer than 25 NHL games this season or last season, or fewer than 50 NHL games overall, is considered a prospect. The upper limit on the age cutoff is 25 years old [the previous cutoff was 26 years old]. In exceptional cases, a player may be graduated from prospect status without having yet met these criteria."
Graduated from last edition's rankings: Joel Kiviranta, Joel L'Esperance
Please note that these rankings are based around the projection of a player's potential NHL ceiling and their chances of reaching that ceiling, not who is the closest to NHL duty right now. These potential NHL ceilings are evaluated based on each player's cumulative careers up to this point, which explains why, for example, someone that was great last year but is struggling right now might be ranked higher than someone that is having an unexpected breakout season.
Without further ado, here now are the 20 player rankings, which also showcase each player's previous position on the list, their ages, and a brief explanation outlining why they're listed where they are.
Dallas Stars Prospect Rankings: December 2020
Prev Rank
1 1 Thomas Harley 19 It's close at the top, but Harley retains his perch as the best prospect in the Stars' system. There's just so much raw upside to his game because of his skills, physical attributes and natural athleticism. It will be incredibly interesting to see how much he learned and grew from his time in the Dallas playoff bubble, and the World Juniors will help showcase that
2 3 Jake Oettinger 21 Like Harley, it's hard to precisely measure how much Oettinger benefitted from being in the Dallas playoff bubble, but all that hands-on work with goalie coach Jeff Reese and time spent around Ben Bishop and Anton Khudobin certainly had a huge influence. And with Bishop recovering from surgery, Oettinger will soon get valuable experience as an NHL backup
3 2 Ty Dellandrea 20 After fighting through some rough years in Flint Dellandrea was robbed of the experience of leading the Firebirds triumphantly back to the playoffs, where they could have done damage. The two-way center was lucky enough to head over to Finland to keep his feet moving, although that league is now on hiatus as well. He'll be ready to push for an NHL spot
4 4 Jason Robertson 21 Robertson's first professional season can be chalked up as an overall success, as he finished as the top point scorer on the Texas Stars and made three appearances with the big club up in Dallas. He also, importantly, showed notable and necessary improvements in his quickness and mobility. Should be a strong contender to make the NHL club out of training camp
5 NR Mavrik Bourque 19 The newest of the organization's top prospects, Bourque brings some much-needed playmaking, puck skill and creativity to the system. Like Dellandrea, he's a center who was entrusted with the captaincy of his team at just 18 years of age. He played some recent games in the QMJHL before it suspended activity, and was a final cut from Canada's World Junior camp
6 6 Nicholas Caamano 22 When a battered and bruised Dallas roster needed forward reinforcements in the Stanley Cup Final against Tampa Bay, Caamano got the call, which goes to show just how well his development is going. He has the tools and physical abilities to be a reliable Middle 6 winger at the NHL level, as well as an advanced understanding of how to play that kind of role
7 19 Fredrik Karlström 22 As much of a nightmare as 2020 has been, the calender year was a huge one on-ice for Karlström, who took major steps forward in Sweden and is still getting better. He moves around the rink incredibly well with his long, smooth skating strides, and he's become a dual offensive threat with his shooting and playmaking. Signed his first NHL contract in the spring
8 7 Riley Tufte 22 When the Texas Stars' season ended in the spring one of the prospects most negatively affected was Tufte, who had overcome a slow start to his freshman professional campaign and was playing some effective hockey. Work still needs to be done with his puck handling and awareness, but he's gotten much better at using his speed and reach to pressure opponents
9 5 Albin Eriksson 20 Just like last year, ice time has been in frustratingly short supply for Eriksson in the Swedish pro ranks. It's an awful development spot to be in: he's not quite good enough to justify a bigger role, but he's not improving much when he's not playing. He remains high on this list now because of his raw upside, but he could slip further if circumstances don't change
10 8 Oskar Bäck 20 Slow and steady wins the race for Bäck, who keeps developing at a notable, consistent pace. He's earning about two minutes more of ice time per game this season in the SHL compared to last, and he's getting rewarded with a little more offensive production. Looks quicker than he did previously, which is good to see. Could play in the AHL next year if he wants to
11 9 Rhett Gardner 24 There is a quiet effectiveness to Gardner's game that rarely shows up on the score sheet. He is a workhorse center who uses his physical presence and well-rounded hockey sense to make a positive difference in all three zones. The AHL rookie earned the trust of the Texas coaching staff early on and was given a big role, and looked like a seasoned veteran in it
12 NR Jacob Peterson 21 Peterson's progression in the SHL has been quietly consistent, but he's starting to make noise now. He's one of the best skaters in the system, able to explode from a standstill, gain separation on defenders, or elusively dart through traffic. He's not a high-end shooter or playmaker, but get results because he gets into dangerous areas. Defensive awareness is solid
13 11 Adam Mascherin 22 How do you rank a prospect who won't see game action for the entire 2020 calendar year? While Mascherin still remains one of the best shooters, puck handlers and playmakers in the system, missing that much time isn't going to be good for his development. There were some struggles before his shoulder injury, too. Still needs others to help make space for him
14 12 Riley Damiani 20 Kitchener was one of the hottest teams in the OHL when the season was stopped, and Damiani, their captain, was a huge part of that. His scoring totals were less gaudy than the year prior, but the team as a whole was asked to play a little more well-rounded and a little less wide open. Will he now turn pro, or head back to the OHL for his overage season?
15 10 Joseph Cecconi 23 Cecconi was asked to play a lot of heavy minutes as an AHL rookie, and while the results were mixed, he impressively managed to keep his head above water. While he displays an advanced understanding of how to stymie opposing offensive chances, his foot speed, agility and puck decisions need improvement. He's a specialist, but he'll need to master his style
16 15 Ben Gleason 22 Despite already making his NHL debut, in 2018-19, projecting how Gleason will become a regular NHLer is a little murky. He hit a sophomore slump in 2019-20. There's no doubt that his biggest strengths are his puck movement and offensive awareness — but are they good enough for him to fill a role like that full time? Luckily, there's no rush with his development
17 NR Ryan Shea 23 Originally drafted by Chicago in 2015, Shea signed with Dallas as a free agent after his senior year at Northeastern University, where he logged a ton of ice time and played in all situations. He's a calm, versatile defenseman who doesn't have any weaknesses to his game, but also doesn't really have any standout abilities either. Should be a lineup regular for Texas
18 NR Yevgeni Oksentyuk 19 Dallas must have gotten a great look at Oksentyuk last year, as he was teammates with Dellandrea in Flint. The Belarusian winger is an easy player to root for, because he makes up for his diminutive stature with big competitiveness and a big heart. He's at his most dangerous in tight spaces. Is playing in his home nation right now, but should return to the OHL later
19 NR Antonio Stranges 18 Stranges is something of a wildcard for these rankings. He has a lot of natural skill and a unique playing style, but tweaks will need to be made to his game for it to translate to the pros. He can stickhandle in a phone booth and his 10-2 skating style can be unpredictable to defend. The good news: there are few development programs better than the London Knights
20 NR Daniel Ljungman 18 When Ljungman gets the puck on his stick in a high-danger area it's probably ending up in the net. His goal-per-game pace this season in Sweden's top under-20 league is evidence of that. However, he needs to get better at creating those opportunities for himself, opposed to relying on teammates. His steady defensive play is helpful when the goals aren't coming
