Miratorg – a Company To Be Proud Of
We're sure that social responsibility stems from a desire to grow, expand, and to change the world around us for the better. We understand that we can only produce the best product on the market if all of our staff believe in what they are doing – and that local people in the regions where we operate see that our company is making people's lives better.
Our social responsibility means:
Russia's №1 Employer in the Agrobusiness Sector
Every year we create thousands of new jobs, and we provide successful job-seekers with stable employment at decent rates of pay. We provide all our staff with the complete range of social benefits, and the opportunity for their careers to grow alongside the company.
Education and Training for Young People
We've effectively created a new Russian professional skills centre specialising in the production of animal livestock – and a system of professional training dedicated to producing dedicated industry specialist staff.
Charity, Outreach and Social Involvement
We take an active part in people's lives in the regions where we operate – aiding rural schools and children's homes, developing sport for children and young people, helping regional medical facilities and organisations working with the disabled.
Protecting Our Environment
We collaborate with specialised government agencies and non-state environmental organisations in promoting and carrying out best environmental practice in the fields of biological and ecological protection.

Miratorg is one of the largest tax-paying corporations in the agrobusiness sector. This is a just reflection of the company's leading position in agricultural production – a company whose plant facilities put out the colossal statistic of more than six hundred thousand tonnes of food products each year. The company's primary production assets are located deep in the Russian Regions, and so the tax each of them pays makes a real difference to the local budgets in those areas.
According to 2017 statistics, Miratorg's annual tax payments went up by over 12 million roubles in one year alone. The development of the company's interregional project to produce top-quality beef has already caused an up-tick in the company's tax payments in the Kaluga, Smolensk, Orlovsk, and Tula Regions – where the company is opening new livestock farms and where Miratorg's arable crop facilities are located.
Our company is Russia's No 1 employer in the agrobusiness sector of the nation's economy – succeeding in providing stable employment and decent salaries despite the difficult conditions in the Russian economy as a whole. In 2017 the company's workforce grew by a total of 14%, now totalling thirty thousand staff. The leading segments fuelling these increases are the Poultry and Beef divisions. In Bryansk Region alone, the number of staff rose by 16%, to more than 8,600 staff.
Average salaries for Miratorg staff during 2017 rose by 6.25%, to a total of 34,000 roubles. In Bryansk Region the salary is 35,000 roubles, while in Belgorod Region it is 32,000 roubles, and 35,000 roubles in Kaliningrad Region.
The average salary paid to the company's staff in Bryansk Region is 35% more than typical average salaries paid by other employers in that region, and continues to make steady increases in line with productivity increases and continuing increases in output.
Miratorg has really created high-tech livestock farming in Russia from scratch – which is now on every technical and output level the equal of world leading producers. We remain sure that creating reliable and pleasant conditions of work is a critical factor for leveraging improved productivity statistics in our business.
From the high-quality buses, which bring our staff to their work at our production facilities, to the modern factories and offices which have been designed and built for the company's operations to meet international criteria for design, comfort and safety, Miratorg is doing everything to make working conditions for its staff the best they can be.
Our program Generation Miratorg is aimed at bringing young well-trained specialist staff into the agrobusiness sector, and providing them with training and professional growth – and has proved its worth. The number of young people enrolled in the program is continuously growing, as well as the number of partner organisations – agrobusiness-focused colleges, institutes and universities, not just in the regions where our facilities operate, but throughout the entire country.
During the project's operation in 2015, more than 400 students from various institutes and colleges took part. Miratorg collaborates successfully with agriculture colleges and institutes in Belgorod, Voronezh, Kursk, Rostov, Moscow, Bryansk, Kaliningrad, and St Petersburg. In Kaliningrad Region alone, Miratorg plans to offer five times the number of apprentice places available in 2016.
At the initial stage we offer students the chance to get free-of-charge work-placements at the company's different facilities. Another highly successful format is that of Student Teams – in which the students taking part have a further stimulus, in the shape of financial compensation. After this we invite the most promising students from these programs to join our Apprenticeship Program, during which they will be able to become fully involved in solving production issues, and gain real professional experience within a specific work-skill area. Apprenticeships averagely last three months, and those who pass them successfully could be invited to join the company's full-time staff.
Our mentoring system helps our young employees adapt quickly to working for Miratorg – experienced staff members work specifically on training the young staffers for their further careers within the company. Young specialist staff gain valuable real-work experience in a modern high-tech production environment, along with the chance to hone specialist skills in the line of work in which they shine best – whether it be crop farming, livestock farming, producing animal feedstuffs, or meat processing. What's very important is that their work at Miratorg will give them experience of the best world practice, which could open the way for a placement working in one of the world's leading food industry brand names such as McDonald's, Danish Crown, John Deer, or JBS.
Recruits with special training such as vets, agronomists, engineers, food technologists, economists, and HR managers are especially welcome to join our growing company – a company which is continually broadening the scope of its operations not only in Russia, but abroad too.
Miratorg has effectively created a new competency centre in Russia in the specialist production of livestock animals, with a system of professional training which prepares the specialist staff the company needs. The team of operators who work with our livestock on the company's farms is now over one thousand staff – who, under the direction of experienced trainers and instructors enjoy continuing opportunities to increase their qualifications in many areas of operations – such as stress-free interaction with longhorn cattle and tasks like rounding them up, work on horseback, and basic veterinary procedures.
Miratorg's social policies are not only directed at supporting talented young people – but also at providing help for children in difficult situations in life, and for children's educational and social facilities.
Among the projects which receive ongoing support are the Zhukovsky Children's Centre in Bryansk Region, which looks after 60 orphan children – of whom 15 are disabled. Staff from our Bryansk Meat Company division have already been giving broad-ranging help to these kids for over three years. We help to bring regular deliveries of things the kids need – like school stationery, daily household items, crockery, cleaning products... and food, of course.
Helping the Zhukovsky Children's Centre is far from the only social work done by the Bryansk division of our company. Miratorg is actively helping the life of the Region, by helping rural schools and kindergartens, regional medical centres, organisations working with disabled people and war veterans, as well as lending a hand to develop sport for kids and young people.
This summer was the first time any renovations or rebuilding had ever been done at the Red Poppy Children's Home. Miratorg helped provide insulation for the building's exterior walls, fixed the leaking roofs, put down asphalt around the building, and lopped the branches of some dangerous trees. Miratorg also stepped in to provide internet access for the Zhukovsky Children's Centre, as well as providing a new range of sports equipment the kiddies badly needed. Miratorg has also been doing work in preserving ecclesiastical and historical heritage – by helping with the renovations of the Uspensky Cathedral of the Svensky Monastery.
"Charity work has become a really important tradition for the company, and helping people freely is the best way of spreading good. Our industry binds us to the land, and so we feel we have to help villages to develop education, medical services, preserve their cultural heritage, and their traditions. But the company isn't limited to just support – it actively initiates social and charity projects and programs, to play its part in the development of the social and education spheres. We'll be carrying on and continuing to curate social projects – not only in and around Bryansk, of course, but in other Regions too", said Mr Sergey Kulinovsky, the CEO of LLC Bryansk Meat Company, a division of the Miratorg Holding Company.
Ensuring standards for biological safety and the protection of the environment are an essential part of our strategy for sustainable development. Our customers insist upon the highest levels of product quality – which can only be provided using an integrated risk-control system at each and every stage of the production cycle. There are no shortcuts or easy-outs in providing biological safety, especially when considering Russia's complex epizootic situation alongside the stringent regulations imposed on the farming industry by Russian governmental bodies – in the light of which Miratorg undertakes its farming operations.
All of the company's production premises – from livestock farms to meat-processing plants – are equipped with the very latest systems for biological safety, to reduce the risks of transmission of infection or communicable disease. We have a team of top-qualified specialist vets consisting of over 400 people, who are tasked with ensuring healthy and normal growth of our animals. Miratorg's expertise in this area can fairly be considered among Russia's highest – a fact which is confirmed when foreign inspectors come to check on our material assets and make their attestations regarding supply to foreign markets.
The company has an ongoing program of confirming its conformance to international quality and hygiene standards for its output. This is especially relevant for processing facilities working with biological waste, whose correct disposal is a matter of great importance. The company's veterinary & sanitary reprocessing plant in Kursk Region opened in 2015, confirming the company's compliance with the ISO 22000 international standard. The technical processes involved in converting organic waste into safe products – bonemeal flour, and technical fat – is a hugely important element in our system of disease prevention and stopping the spread of dangerous animal diseases.
We have invested 120 million roubles in providing for environmental protection at our piggeries division in the Belgorod and Kursk Regions. Use of cutting edge technology when converting pork production waste into solid or liquid fractions, so that they can then be further utilised, is something which enormously reduces our company's impact on the environment.
Miratorg continues to develop collaborations with industry-specific state authorities and non-governmental environmental organisations, in order to develop and implement best practice in both biological safety and environmental protection – especially when launching new facilities in new regions of operation.
About Miratorg Agricultural Holdings

Solid Biosciences Inc. (SLDB) Reports Q3 Loss, Lags Revenue Estimates
Zacks Equity Research
10 November 2022, 8:55 am ·3-min read
Solid Biosciences Inc. (SLDB) came out with a quarterly loss of $2.71 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $2.59. This compares to loss of $2.40 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -4.63%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $3.15 per share when it actually produced a loss of $3.30, delivering a surprise of -4.76%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Solid Biosciences Inc. , which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, posted zero revenues for the quarter ended September 2022, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 100%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $3.54 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Solid Biosciences Inc. Shares have lost about 75.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -21.4%.
What's Next for Solid Biosciences Inc.
While Solid Biosciences Inc. Has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Solid Biosciences Inc. Favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$2.06 on $1.75 million in revenues for the coming quarter and -$10.59 on $10.45 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical - Biomedical and Genetics is currently in the top 28% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Palatin Technologies, Inc. (PTN), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2022.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $1.34 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -78.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Palatin Technologies, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $0.8 million, up 400% from the year-ago quarter.

Q: Refresh dropdown list with db datasource in angularJs I have a dropdown list that get its element from database, the thing is i want to add new element to the list and be able to see the new added element without refreshing the page. I tried to remove the old list and make new http request to get the new elements directly from db but unfortunately Iam missing something somewhere. here is the code:
$http.post('/api/adminPanel/createTagType', tagDetails).then(function (response) {
            console.log("Response from Controller: " + JSON.stringify(response));
            if(response.data==='success'){

                $http.get('api/adminPanel/getTags').then(function(result){
                    try{
                        $scope.tags = result.data.tags;
                        console.log($scope.tags);
                    }catch(error){
                        console.log(error);
                    }
                });
            }
        });

First i post the new value and check if request is succeeded then, I make new get request to get the new list.
Could you guys help me out to solve this problem?
Update
This is the html code:
    <select name= "inputTag" id= "inputTag" class="form-control" ng-model="Tag">
    <option value="">Select Tag Type</option>
    <option ng-repeat="tag in tags" value="{{tag.idtagTypes}}" >{{tag.tagName}}</option>
</select>

 <button class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="addTag()">Add Tag</button>

A: Your version should work. I've included a sample that's completely stripped down to demo the data binding effect. Without more info on the API return, controller setup, angular config etc. this will be tough to diagnose specifically.

    <select>
      <option ng-repeat="tag in tags">{{ tag.name }}<option>
    </select>
    <button ng-click='update()'>Add</button>

Javascript
angular.module('app', [])
  .controller('ctrl', function($scope){
    // initial scope.tag value
    $scope.tags = [{name:1}, {name: 2}];
    $scope.update = function(){
      // update scope.tag variable ...
      $scope.tags.push({ name: $scope.tags.length + 1});
    };
});

I've included the jsbin as well for a full demo. Starts with 2 items in select and adds one every time Add button is pressed. No work other than setting the $scope variable is required.
This can easily be expanded to include the $http request instead of my fake update to the data.

The Tangled Web of the GZM Imam's Organizations Raises Questions
https://www.investigativeproject.org/2134/the-tangled-web-of-the-gzm-imams-organizations
The backers of the Ground Zero Mosque have virtually no money, one of the group's leaders says, and plan to create another nonprofit organization that would further complicate the already labyrinthine financial network surrounding the project.
Daisy Khan, one of the leaders of the project, told supporters over the weekend that the mosques organizers have "nothing in the bank" for their effort. Khan said there is no money and that she doesn't know of anything that has been raised.
Tracing the money going to the two nonprofit groups led by Khan and her husband and partner in the mosque project, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, requires a world map.
Federal tax records show Rauf and Khan direct the two groups supporting the mosque project – the Cordoba Initiative and the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA). Those two organizations, along with Soho Properties, which owns the site of the proposed mosque and community center, are coordinating the project.
However, federal tax records show the Cordoba Initiative has not listed contributions from at least two charitable foundations that have supported its activities. In another case, a foundation gave money to Cordoba's sister group, the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA), that was supposed to go to Cordoba; that money was also not listed in Cordoba's tax records.
Cordoba has failed to list almost $100,000 in charitable donations since 2007, federal tax records show.
Between 2006 and 2008, Cordoba's charitable tax filings with the IRS show a total of $31,668 in gross receipts. However, tax filings from two charities that have donated to Cordoba or ASMA show more than $130,000 to donations to Cordoba during that time.
They include:
$98,000 from 2006 through 2008 from the Deak Family Foundation, a Rye, N.Y.-based nonprofit organization.
$32,000 from the William and Mary Greve Foundation of New York in 2007.
The Greve foundation also gave ASMA $25,000 in 2008 "to support Cordoba Initiative in improving Muslim-West relations." There is no record in the Cordoba Initiative's tax filings that shows it received $25,000 from ASMA. Greve foundation officials did not respond to requests for comment.
The Deak foundation's contributions to Cordoba were routed through ASMA, the religious organization Rauf founded in 1997 as the American Sufi Muslim Association, said R. Leslie Deak, the foundation's director. The Deak foundation has also given more than $100,000 between 2006 and 2008 to the National Defense University Foundation. That group supports activities at the National Defense University, a Pentagon think tank in Washington.
However, Cordoba's tax filings between 2005 and 2008 show no contributions from ASMA.
The missing donations are troubling, said Bob Blitzer, a former FBI counterterrorism chief now in private business. "Obviously, they're not running things very well," Blitzer said. "It's the whole issue of the money is really bothering the public. Does he have the money?"
Blitzer said the missing money could be due to theft, embezzlement or sloppy bookkeeping. "They're really open for somebody who, particularly the government since they're filing as a nontaxable institution, could look into why the money is missing," he said.
As a religious organization, ASMA is exempt from filing the same federal tax forms as Cordoba. That means it is not required to name its donors, or reveal how much it receives in donations or how it spends its money in federal tax documents.
The church status for ASMA comes from the group's original 1997 filing with the IRS. ASMA was originally created as the American Sufi Muslim Organization and stated on its federal application it would provide "facilities for the local Muslim community in offering five time daily prayers" and other religious functions. As a result, the group was granted church status and was exempted from filing the traditional tax forms and financial disclosures associated with other charities.
The group changed its name from the American Sufi Muslim Association to the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA) in 2006, New York state corporation records show. Its current web site mentions nothing about the group hosting prayer services. Instead, it cites five key parts of its mission, to educate, incubate, advocate, organize and mobilize on behalf of Islam.
Their church status, former FBI counter-terrorist chief Blitzer said, could also be subject to an investigation. "The bigger issue is, if they got tax exempt status as a church and they're now not having services, how can they maintain their status for any length of time?" Blitzer said.
A financial statement found on ASMA's web site for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, also does not mention religious services as one of the group's functions. The statement says ASMA is "a non-profit intermediary organization established in 1997 and dedicated to reshaping the discourse about Islam."
The same financial statement lists Cordoba as a "related party." The statement says Cordoba is a separate corporation that will "work with ASMA as a sister organization sharing the same infrastructure, space, utilities, vendor services and co-sponsorship of programs to remain fiscally lean and keep operational costs low for both."
The statement, however, does not show that ASMA sent any money to Cordoba between July 1, 2008, and June 30, 2009.
During that time, ASMA reported receiving $1,382,194 in grants, the financial statement shows. Donors included the United Nations Population Fund, $53,664; the Dutch government's MDG3 Fund, $481,942; the Hunt Alternatives Fund, $15,000; the Carnegie Corp. of New York, $122,000; the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, $50,000; and the Qatar government fund, $576,312.
There are no available records for anything called the Qatar government fund, although the oil-rich Persian Gulf nation has a sovereign wealth fund known as the Qatar Investment Authority.
At various times this year, Rauf has said he plans to solicit donations for the $100 million mosque and community center project from overseas sources, although he has not named any donors. One possible source could be Malaysia, where Cordoba has an office, according to a 2009 New York corporate filing.
In an interview earlier this year, however, Khan said there is no connection between the two offices that share the same name. "I don't know what the status of that organization is," Khan told investigative reporter Claudia Rosett of Forbes magazine on Aug. 11. Yet Khan is named as a Cordoba official in the 2004 tax form that includes the reference to the Malaysian official. Khan is also listed as a Cordoba director in its 2008 tax filing, which is the latest on record.
Imam Rauf was also listed as a participant in several meetings of the Malaysia-based Perdana Global Peace Organisation, according to the group's web site. Perdana is led by former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.
Mohamad was prime minister from 1981 to 2003. Shortly before he left office, he told a gathering at the Organization of the Islamic Conference that Jews rule the world by proxy. Mohamad said he was not anti-Semitic but opposed "Jews who kill Muslims" and "the Jews who support the killers of Muslims."
Creating a new nonprofit group to handle the finances for the mosque profit means that outsiders looking to monitor the group's finances would have to wait until 2012, according to guidelines for nonprofits posted on Guidestar.org. That site tracks nonprofit groups and their finances.
It takes an average of two months for the IRS to rule on a group's nonprofit filing, Guidestar says. So, if the group filed immediately, it could receive tax-exempt status in late October. IRS regulations require all nonprofits to file their tax forms within five months after the end of their fiscal year. That would push disclosure of the mosque group's finances to March 2012 at the earliest.
Until then, however, questions about Rauf and Khan's finances remain. "When you see this kind of activity, it makes you pause," Blitzer said.

This is the first I have heard that any of the entities under the Imam's control had incorporated as a Church. That is more than a question of curiosity. The reporting requirements for religious institutions are meager indeed! This needs to be investigated and cut short now. It is bad enough there will be delays in learning the sources of funds. It is a travesty if they will never be known!

what about Mahathir's remarks on US and americans?....
(The Star, 18 October 2004), he was quoted as having said "The American people are, by and large, very ignorant and know nothing about the rest of the world.... Yet they are the people who will decide who will be the most powerful man in the world"
these people have no respect for others beliefs or humanity...all they want is to take over the world however they can, and if they were powerful enough..they would not hesitate for a second to use brute force....they demand freedom of opinion, expreesionand religion etc , but do they give any?
since they do not have the option...they will use democracy (which they despise) as a tool to bring down democracy and establish the worst form of authoritative government imaginable....... the prophet said " war is deception"

"It takes an average of two months for the IRS to rule on a group's nonprofit filing"
When the new organization files the Form 1023 (Application for Recognition) the IRS will assign the application to one of three tracks. Realistically there are two - either it gets immediate approval (TRACK A). In those cases it takes about 2 months.
Theoretically there is a TRACK B which is a small amount of additional information, but that doesn't really happen.
In TRACK C it is sent for further work-up. In those cases the folks in Cincinnati will prepare a a series of Questionnaires (Called "Letter 1312") which will also be public information including any responses.
In a high-profile, highly complicated application ($100,000,000.00! Offices in Malaysia! Are you kidding me?!) this application may take as long as a year or more to be approved (unless the Soetoro administration decides to request it be expedited, which they'll do at their own risk because that's public information).
While approval will be retroactive, during the pendency of the application they will have trouble getting foundation support.
As for the Church Status - that was a big no-no. If you look at the approval letter as a Church it will say something to the effect of "If your purposes and/or activities change, you must notify the IRS so we can see how that impacts your status". If Soetoro was not in charge and running interference, the Regional District Director should be notified and do something about it.

Thanks Alot Rhonda. This Worked!
By the way, I had an interesting conversation with my 12 year old daughter today. She is taking yoga at school. She did a guided meditation the other day that she really liked. She and I discussed the danger of doing yoga/meditation linked with Eastern religion. I told her how important it was to enjoy the benefits but to make sure that her focus and intentions were on God and the scriptures. In turn, I was listening to Control Negative Thoughts this morning when she came into my room. And she says, "Oh, is that Rhonda Jones?" I am wondering…now, how does she know what I am listening to? After a few questions I learned that she did some internet research after our conversation and landed on your website. She has been listening to the samples. I wanted to thank you for taking the leap of faith and making an internet presence. Your courage made a positive impact at a time that could have been a dangerous moment for my daughter if you were not in cyberspace. Today, I am sending you my gratitude and thanks!


Focus: This class focuses on poses that will help to release tension from your spine. Adaptations and variations are included that will assist you to improve mobility in the spine itself and its associated muscles. This type of practice can help to improve the health of your back and assist with injury prevention. It is also great for relieving stress and helping you to relax. For practitioners of all levels of experience it is important to regularly connect with the many benefits that yoga can offer.
This class makes use of a wall to emphasise back releasing twisting movements in many of the poses. In the sequence your yoga mat is positioned length ways against the wall. This configuration opens up many possibilities, but in class situations this is often difficult due to space restrictions. Most people will however be able to easily find a clear wall space to use for a home practice. This class will be well suited to people wanting a therapeutic sequence for the spine, but will also be beneficial for times when you are feeling lower in energy and needing more support in your practice.
Key Poses: Trikonasana, parivrtta trikonasana, janu sirsasana, upavista konasana, ardha matsyendrasana.

This is a poem written by Allama Muhammad Iqbal ~ a child's prayer very famous in Pakistan. How I wish we could spread this message to all our children.
I am so glad that you appreciated this message.
Iqbal considered children as unique and important, but it is so unfortunate that in that same land, the girl child is denied education, young students were mercilessly killed (Peshawar) and children are being abused by the "men of god". The world must strongly condemn this.
I am sure you remember my post "About childlike innocence…" in December which was my lament to the unfortunate plight of those children.
Thank you for posting this Sonya.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful, prayerful poem.
A candle burns, a flower blooms…what powerful images to depict the unfolding of a person's being!
Indeed powerful yet so simple that even children can take it in.

Causes of Blindness and Severe Visual Impairment among Children Enrolled in an Early Intervention and Preschool Program of a School for the Blind in the Philippines
Paul Samuel V. Del Mundo, MD, Carlos Emmanuel M. Chua, MD
Blindness is a global burden. The overall prevalence of blindness worldwide is 0.7%, with at least 7 million people becoming blind each year, and increasing by 1-2 million per year. About 90% of the world's visually impaired live in developing countries, remaining a public health problem.1,2 In children, the prevalence of childhood blindness ranged from 0.3/1000 children aged 0-15 years in developed countries to 1.5/1000 children in developing countries.3-5
In the Philippines, there was a steady decline in the prevalence of blindness,6 with cataract, error of refraction, and glaucoma as the most common causes of blindness, and error of refraction topping the list of visual impairment. In children, the top 3 causes of visual impairment and blindness were error or refraction, cataract, and phthisis bulbi.6 The prevalence of blindness among children did not decline compared with previous studies as there was no program for prevention of childhood blindness in the Philippines at that time.6
To achieve the goals of the National Prevention of Blindness Vision 2020, it is important to identify the causes of visual impairment and blindness in children. Population-based data are expensive and more difficult to obtain. An initial step would be to access and analyze the records of children enrolled in schools for the blind or other programs. This study, therefore, aimed to identify avoidable causes of childhood blindness and visual impairment in a school for the blind in the Philippines.
The medical records of students enrolled at the Resources for the Blind (RBI) early intervention and preschool program from 1999 to 2012 were obtained. A standard examination record for children with blindness and low vision, developed by the WHO Prevention of Blindness (PBL),7 was used to record the data. Visual acuity was recorded according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), where blindness was defined as visual acuity (VA) in the better eye worse than 3/60 (<20/400), severe visual impairment if VA was better than 3/60 (>20/400) but worse than 6/60 (<20/200), and visual impairment if VA was better than 6/60 (>20/200) but worse than 6/18 (<20/63)5. Excluded were those with no visual acuity nor diagnosis recorded.
The major anatomical site of abnormality and etiology of visual loss were determined for each eye and for each student. When two or more sites contributed to the visual impairment equally, or when sites of abnormality were different between the two eyes, the more preventable or treatable abnormality was selected. If neither eye had preventable or treatable abnormality, the more recent abnormality or the better eye was selected.7 Avoidable causes encompass both preventable and treatable causes. Preventable causes are conditions amenable to primary prevention where blindness can be entirely prevented; these include measles infection, vitamin A deficiency, ophthalmia neonatorum, adoption of harmful traditional eye practices, and intrauterine or perinatal infections.5 Treatable causes are conditions which can be treated early to prevent blindness (secondary prevention), such as glaucoma and ROP, or condition where sight can be restored (tertiary prevention), such as cataract or some cases of corneal opacities.5 Distribution of age, visual impairment, site and etiology of blindness, and avoidable causes were summarized using proportions.
A total of 147 medical records of children were reviewed. Seven were excluded because of incomplete diagnosis and 50 because of incomplete visual acuity measurements. A total of 90 records were included in the study. Eighty-six had visual acuity of either blind (76.7%) or severe visual impairment (18.9%) (Table 1). Of these, majority were children below 6 years of age (69.8%), and most were below 1 year (44.2%) (Table 2a). The mean age was 13 months with a range of 2 months to 11 years. There were 24 records with no recorded age (27.9%). There were more boys than girls (Table 2b).
Table 1. Classification of visual disability (N=90).
Table 2a. Distribution of visual disability in children according to age.
Table 2b. Distribution of visual disability in children according to gender.
Anatomic Causes
The anatomic causes of severe visual impairment and blindness (SVI/BL) are shown in Table 3. More than half were from the retina (69.8%), followed by the whole globe (10.5%), the lens (7%), and the optic nerve (7%). Retinopathy of prematurity was the most common cause of abnormality (47.7%), followed by retinoblastoma (11.6%). All cases of retinablastoma were bilateral for which enucleation was done. Other retinal causes included persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV), retinal detachment, retinal dysplasia, retinal coloboma. Cataract was the most common cause of abnormality in the lens. Cortical blindness was the single cause of abnormality in a normal-appearing globe while microphthalmia led the causes of abnormality involving the whole globe.
Etiologic Causes
The etiologic causes of SVI/BL are shown in Table 4. Perinatal factors accounted for most of the etiologic causes of visual loss (58.1%). ROP and cerebral hypoxia comprised the prenatal factors in 47.7% and 5.8% respectively. In 18 children (20.9%), etiology of visual loss could not be determined; among these, 10.5% had retinoblastoma, 4.7% cataracts, and 4.7% with abnormality since birth. Hereditary factors accounted for 14% of visual loss. Childhood and intrauterine factors accounted for 5.8% and 1.2% respectively of all etiologic causes, including optic atrophy secondary to cerebral neoplasm and ocular toxoplasmosis.
Table 3. Anatomic causes of visual disability.
Table 4. Etiologic causes of visual disability.
Avoidable Causes of Blindness
Overall, 58.1% (49/86) of SVI/BL were avoidable; ocular toxoplasmosis was preventable (1.2%) and others were treatable (57.0%) (Table 5). The leading treatable causes of blindness were retinopathy of prematurity (47.7%) and cataract (5.8%). A total of 36 (41.9%) were unavoidable, mostly due to congenitally acquired causes.
Table 5. Avoidable and unavoidable causes of visual disability.
Most of the children enrolled in the Resources for the Blind early intervention and preschool program from 1999 to 2012 were below 6 years old (70%). This age range coincided with the target age population the program was aiming to serve. As a result, many of the causes of visual disability were due to perinatal etiology and less of childhood causes seen in a previous study done by Gilbert and Foster.12 There were also more males than females who enrolled in the program in a 2:1 ratio, similar to other studies in developing countries.3,8,9,10,11 There were also more students who were blind (80.2%) compared to those with severe visual impairment (19.8%). However, there was a significant number of medical records with no age included (27.9%), making the demographics somewhat uncertain.
Retinal disorders accounted for more than half of the anatomic causes of SVI/BL (69.8%); most of these were due to ROP (47.7%). The previous study by Gilbert and Foster done in blind schools in the Philippines in 1992 showed that retinal disorders ranked third following disorders of the whole globe (26.8%) and cornea (26.1%) as major causes of childhood SVI/BL.12 In that study, they compared prevalence of major anatomic sites based on the school location. They found that in the rural areas of Baguio and Davao, phthisis and corneal scarring secondary to vitamin A deficiency were the most common causes while in the urban areas of Manila, the most common cause was retinopathy of prematurity.
When we compared the number of ROP cases with the previous study done in Manila, its proportion increased from 16.7% to 47.7%. This increase could be attributed to increasing number of preterm births,13 survival of very low birth weight infants, and expanding neonatal and maternal services.8 Globally, only 15 countries accounted for two thirds of all pre-term births, and three of those countries were in East Asia, with the Philippines ranked 8th overall, third only to China and Indonesia.13 Infant mortality rate (IMR) has been declining steadily in the Philippines from 36.1/1000 live births in 1999 to 18.7/1000 live births in 2013,14 indicating improvement in healthcare delivery and socioeconomic development. IMR could also predict the risk of blindness due to ROP. In a previous study, the proportion of blindness due to ROP was plotted against IMR. The plot suggested that countries with high IMR of >60/1000 live births did not have a problem of blindness due to ROP because either neonatal ICU were not in place or premature babies did not survive long enough to develop severe ROP. Countries with very low IMRs (<9/1000 live births) also have lower rates of ROP blindness.11 This might be due to lower rates of prematurity, neonatal ICU care was good and oxygen supplementations were monitored, and babies who needed treatment were being detected and managed well. For countries like the Philippines with IMR in the range of 9-60/1000 live births, ROP is emerging as an important cause of blindness,11 as confirmed by our study.
In the previous study of Gilbert and Foster, the major causes of severe visual impairment and blindness were due to corneal scarring and phthisis bulbi, more notable in the rural areas of Baguio and Davao. This was also noted in other Asian studies where healthcare delivery was poor, especially in the rural regions where vitamin A deficiency and measles were a significant public health concern.15,16 In this study, there were no cases of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) or measles seen. VAD is a public health concern for preschool children in almost 122 countries worldwide.17 About 33.3% of preschool children are affected globally. Vitamin A deficiency in the Philippines has been slowly declining since 2003, from a prevalence of 40% to 15.2% in 2008 to 0.1-0.4% clinically evident.18 According to a World Bank report, the coverage for vitamin A supplementation in the Philippines reached 91% in 2010 from 76% in 2003.19 This was largely due to the universal vitamin A supplementation program of the Philippine government that started in 1993.18 Measles is also of public health significance in the Philippines with prevalence of 1/100,000 in 2013.20 The coverage of measles immunization in the country is 92% with supplemental immunization reaching 95% coverage.
Retinoblastoma was the second most common cause of blindness overall after ROP. In a study done in 2004, the incidence of retinoblastoma was estimated to be 237/100,000 of eye cases and has increased 5-fold over the last 35 years. The mean age of onset was between 12-18 months and bilateral in 30% of cases.22 In our study, retinoblastoma was found to cause blindness in 11.6% of students. It was bilateral in all cases and enucleation was done in all of them. The effect of bilateral blindness in these children and the age of onset were the significant reason for their increased enrollment in the program.
Cataract is a leading cause of surgically correctible blindness in the developing world with global incidence of 1-5/10,000 live births.8 In the previous study by Gilbert and Foster, cataract accounted for 14.5% of causes of severe visual loss and blindness.12 This was similar to other studies from Malaysia (17.2%), Thailand (16.9%), and Indonesia (16.4%).8,10,12 In our study, visual loss and blindness from cataract was found in 5.8% (5/86) of cases. A better access to healthcare, early detection, successful treatment outcomes, and various government programs might have contributed to the reduction of pediatric cataract cases. There is still a pressing need to continually address this by educating our primary healthcare providers and teachers and by formulating programs for vision screening in schools.
Most of the etiologic causes of childhood SVI/BL were due to perinatal/neonatal factors in 58.1%, such as retinopathy of prematurity (47.7%) and cerebral hypoxia leading to cortical blindness (5.8%), followed by unknown etiology in 20.9%, and hereditary causes in 14%. In the previous study by Gilbert and Foster, etiology of SVI/BL was unknown in 35.6% or due to childhood factors (31.7%) with perinatal/neonatal factors accounting for only 15%. This was mostly due to cataract and glaucoma, and VAD and measles keratopathy.12
In this study, 58.1% of students have avoidable causes of SVI/BL, which were preventable and treatable. Preventable causes (1.2%) constituted intrauterine factors, such as ocular toxoplasmosis when compared with the study by Gilbert and Foster where most of the preventable causes were due to VAD and measles.12 This could be due to the difference in population, where they studied a rural population while this study concentrated on an urban population. Most of the avoidable causes in this study were treatable in 57.0%, with ROP comprising the majority of treatable diseases. Cataract (5.8%) still remained a significant treatable cause in this study and was the leading cause of surgically correctible blindness in most developing countries such as Chile, Cyprus, and India.15 ROP was a significant treatable cause in this study and other studies in developing countries.8 ROP was found to be reaching epidemic proportions and becoming a public health problem not only in the Philippines but also in many developing countries.3
A large number of medical records (61/147) were not included in the study because of incomplete data and/or unavailability of medical records. Though inherent in this kind of study, inclusion of more records would be the norm if there was a standard form and method of recording the findings, such as the WHO/PBL ERCB, which could be used to keep the database of students in blind schools and hospitals.7
Studies on children in schools for the blind should be taken with caution because data from these studies may not be representative of the total childhood SVI/BL population and might be underestimated compared to a population-based study.3 To obtain a population-based childhood SVI/BL study, a large number of children are needed to obtain meaningful data on its causes because of its relatively low prevalence rate (0.46%) in the Philippines.6,3 Children from poor and remote communities and children with multiple handicaps are also greatly underrepresented because of inaccessibility of the schools and lack of trained personnel for handling multiple disabilities.6 Other reasons why these children may not enroll or seek help are because of parental fear and social stigma associated with any physical disability.8 However, data from blind school studies can provide valuable information on the major cause of childhood blindness in a particular area. A large number of children/medical records can be examined by a special team, using a standard methodology in a short period of time, making estimation of the prevalent causes possible.
In conclusion, more than half of the major causes of BL/SVI were potentially avoidable, with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) as the leading etiology. It is recommended that a more comprehensive ROP awareness and screening programs be instituted at the institutional and national levels to help decrease the burden of this potentially avoidable disease. In addition, further hospital and population-based studies should be performed to validate these observations and establish the true prevalence and incidence of blindness in children.

The site has two features - world outlook and structural.
On its first page it is raining, rustles under music. Something vaguely swashes in the bottom, the wall from drops becomes less, then grows again. From time to time, as if from the canopy of the roof if you look at a rain from under a canopy, greater drops are broken, with splash and with the drawn sparks fall in water. Then between a trade mark and water arise and disappear figures, sketches of projects. Whether it is necessary to explain a picture which main task is to create mood, that is to entertain the user? There is no practical purpose in it, though if to look at the screen for a long time it is possible to see figures of different years so at desire it is possible to consider it as section « predesign graffiti », combined with the first page of a site. But the sense, certainly, is not here, it does not prove functional. But explains a lot - as one of metaphors of creativity when from nonexistence all over again plans-figures, then houses appear. The meditative spirit of the first page is replaced by more certain in sections where we look not at the process, but on the results of creativity, and thus, going on a site, we come up from the created atmosphere, again we plunge into it to pass further.
Structural feature occurs from the history of a workshop of Sergey Skuratov which, having appeared in 2002, has declared itself by two very appreciable constructions - the houses built nearby from each other in Butikovskii pereulok: one is « Butikovskij, 5 », the second - Cooper house. For such, sign projects - special section of a site, "selected works" which will gradually replenish. It stands the first in the list of a portfolio and is solved most vividly: photos take half of a screen, giving to a site similarity to the journal publication. All have got used to see Cooper house on covers and turns - here this impression is kept. You cam see the photo, however entirely - they slowly move, besides you can move them on your computer.
Here it is necessary to tell separately. The site is made «on flash», it is completely animated project, Europeans has a lot of such, and our architects have started to make them last years. The technology has one minus, usualy it is curiously to look on these sites, but it is difficult to receive something, take images and to unpack texts from them. Therefore journalists do not loke them. Here, however, the problem is solved - all pictures increase, if it is necessary, open in a separate window, texts are unpacked. In general it is possible to see enough, constructions are shown, and not just designate their presence by conditional «marks» - which means to get all the rest watch the paper catalogue. This site itself as the catalogue, it is made to admire good architecture and it is possible to do in net.


I did a little experimenting in my kitchen yesterday, and I may have stumbled upon my new favorite go-to. This vegan cheese spread is super fresh, zesty, and ready for anything! It has the tangy flavors of a feta with a smooth, creamy texture (perfect for spreading on your favorite snack).
…and right off the spoon?! I guess what I'm trying to say is, this recipe is so easy and so delicious that you'll be using it nonstop. It makes a pretty decent amount of spread that should last you a week of snacking.
Just throw all your ingredients into a blender/food processer and blend until smooth (you may need to add just a touch more water depending if any almonds are having a tough time breaking down).
That's it, friends. 7 ingredients and you've got a week's worth of vegan cheese heaven. I love recipes that taste more complex and expensive than they are. This one has an elevated taste without making your bank account cry, because let's be honest, those teeny tiny containers of "vegan cheese spread" for $12+ are just nuts (pun intended).
If you give this one a try, leave a comment below and let me know how you used it! Feel free to experiment with spices and herbs — it went great with the rosemary pizza!


PRO ASYL and RSA demand the immediate release of Italian journalist Gabriele Del Grande - R.S.A.
Del Grande was arrested in Turkey's southern border with Syria and soon after he was transfer to a detention facility at the city of Mugla. He had traveled to the region in order to pursue his investigation on the origins of the Islamic State. Initial information suggested he was apprehended due to his papers not being in order. European and Italian authorities have initially chosen a quiet approach not revealing that Turkish authorities were uncooperative, even by restricting access of Italy's diplomatic envoy to the detainee. Their choice to handle Del Grande's detention quietly and away from public attention has not produced positive results.
Nine days after his arrest and after continues protest Del Grande was permitted a phone call to Italy. He then revealed that he was being detained incommunicado until that very moment and not permitted to use his telephone although no charges were pressed against him. He was also denied access to a lawyer. He insists that his papers were in order and the reason for the arrest is linked to the content of his work, for which he has been questioned multiple times during his detention. Since Tuesday Del Grande has gone on hunger strike demanding his rights be respected.
Gabriele Del Grande's case is of major importance not only due to his personal record of high quality independent journalism and uncompromising human right activism. But also because he as a person has demanded his rights against an authoritarian state, contrary to the wider example of EU's submissive and cynical approach that tolerates massive violation of freedom of expression and civil rights in Turkey in exchange for petty political gains.
Del Grande deserves our respect and solidarity for his struggle to win back his freedom. We call for the immediate release of Gabriele Del Grande and all journalists unjustly detained in Turkey.

Current diagnostic technologies often provide only a warning signal without details about the root cause or the ability to offer guidance on a resolution. The data that is provided is displayed in a complicated way that only diagnostic experts can understand, and do little to support the local maintenance team on a day-to-day basis. Lastly, most solutions are only designed to monitor the health of the pump and ignore the health issues associated with the motor. The SafeGuard solution provides answers to all of these critical needs.
SafeGuard is designed to monitor all types of centrifugal pumps. Four battery-powered sensors are included in the SafeGuard system as well as a node/sensor reader. All four sensors work in unison to predict the full health of both the pump and the motor. This allows for a complete diagnostic analysis that reads the tri-axial vibration, temperature, and electromagnetic values for the pump and motor.
With these capabilities, SafeGuard is able to detect more than 20 failure modes. SafeGuard is the all-inclusive solution for centrifugal pump predictive maintenance.
