All B vitamins are coenzymes in metabolic pathways.
Each vitamin has a specific function to perform and deficiency of any particular vitamin may lead to specific deficiency diseases. For some vitamins (e.g., vitamin E), no deficiency disease is yet known.
Vitamins are released from food during the digestive process but are not digested.
Water-soluble vitamins (vitamin B-complex and C) that are utilized by the body for metabolic processes are absorbed through the small intestine. Any excess that is not used right away is excreted by the kidneys in the urine.
Fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K) are absorbed with dietary fats through the small intestine. After absorption, they are sent to the liver and fat depots and circulate through the blood with the help of chylomicrons and lipoproteins.
(Leevy et al 1968) Patient with liver disease may exhibit reduced storage, reduced hepatic intake, and diminished consumption of vitamins.
Eating too many fortified foods or taking a megadose of vitamin supplements—more than the recommended daily intake can produce toxic effects. Fat-soluble vitamins are more toxic than water-soluble vitamins because they can be stored and accumulate in adipose tissues. There is less danger of water-soluble vitamins exerting a toxic effect on the body because storage is limited and usually the excess is excreted on a daily basis.
Vitamin D is the most toxic of all vitamins because of its ultimate effect on the human body. Vitamin D enhances the absorption of calcium, and so an excess of vitamin D causes an excess of calcium circulating in the blood, which is detrimental to the heart.
Two water-soluble vitamins can be somewhat toxic: vitamin B-6 and niacin. Both can have detrimental effects if the amount ingested is more than the kidney can handle and excrete.
During lactation, vitamin A, C and E are required more when compared to during pregnancy.
Human breast milk contains limited quantities of vitamin C and D.
I really admire the valuable information you offer in your articles.

Many of us have been wondering when the high level of U.S. liability enforcements of a civil litigation variety will emerge within software.
I recently had the pleasure of doing a Q&A with Paul Hyman of DSO.com. The subject was litigation, software IP, and how to prevent the two from coming together in a way that ruins your day. The implications for embedded software development and device product liability are particularly sobering.
Incidentally, I had a chat recently with someone (who should know) who is waiting for the day soon when a lawsuit will highlight a higher risk associated with C++-developed code than from Java-developed code. The premise is that C++ poses higher risk of software failures, and therefore not moving to development with less risky Java shows signs of negligence.
Many of us have been wondering when the high level of U.S. liability enforcements of a civil litigation variety will emerge within software use. It remains a ticking time bomb. The prudent would seek to reduce their risk while they can without a financial gun pointed at them. In other words, fix your roof while the sun is shining.


Two antique transoms were the inspiration for the Asian ambience of this penthouse kitchen overlooking New York City. The old hand-carved pieces, originally created for a Japanese Buddhist monastery, captivated the homeowner who, years ago, found them in an antiques store and fell in love with them. Stored away until they could be effectively used, they were the first thing she brought up when redesigning her kitchen with architect Elaine Felhandler, of Felhandler/Steeneken Architects in New York City. "She showed me the transoms and that was it," says Felhandler, who used the pieces as her design guide.
Once that was settled, Felhandler turned her attention to the layout. She combined the maid's quarters with the old kitchen to create a new 15,519-foot space that would be the centerpiece of a home already under the spell of the Far East. Adjacent to the kitchen, a conservatory that annexed territory from the terrace would be flooded with light and serve as a gathering spot for guests during meal prep, or a hang-out area for the homeowner.
From design to material selection, Felhandler crafted a kitchen that combines old and new. Japanese raku tiles cover structural columns. Schist, an older-than-granite metamorphic rock, is fashioned into countertops with an eased edge. Made of cherry wood, the peninsula is built with oversize pieces stacked and recessed to resemble the elongated lines of the Craftsman and Prairie styles—styles, says Felhandler, "very much influenced by the Japanese." The kitchen's linear profile is also evident in bands of black painted trim (also carried into the conservatory) inspired by the transom frames and used to edge the soffits and columns. Another strong line is formed from the row of six horizontal drawers in the peninsula and even cupboard doors feature unadorned recessed panels with straight frames. Custom-made copper drawer pulls and handles, made to look old, mimic the angular shape of the faucet.
A dedicated work zone is completely separate from, yet open to, adjoining spaces. Free from traffic, it's easy to negotiate and fitted with prostyle appliances and recessed lighting. Pendants hung above the peninsula not only provide light, but help delineate the space. Across the passageway, a second sink and cabinetry function as an entertainment center. The color palette is simple too—warm wood tones, stainless, and pale walls prevent any jarring intrusion.
Suspended from the ceiling and eased between columns, the 100-year-old transoms set the tone of the new kitchen and became its focal point. The homeowner adds, "As soon as we knew we'd use them, everything flowed from there."

What are the ways to acquire Armenian citizenship?
The ways to acquire Armenian citizenship are as follows:
Recognition of citizenship
Acceptance of citizenship
Restoration of citizenship
Acceptance of citizenship by group
On the basis prescribed by the international agreements of the Republic of Armenia
In other cases, provided by the Law
Who can acquire Armenian citizenship through recognition of citizenship?
Citizens of the former Armenian SSR permanently residing in Armenia, who, until the enactment of the Constitution, have not acquired citizenship of another country or have renounced that citizenship within one year from the day of the enactment of the Law on Citizenship;
Stateless Armenians or former citizens of other USSR member states permanently residing in the RA, who do not have citizenship of another country and before 31 December 2019 have applied for the acquisition of the RA citizenship;
Former citizens of the Armenian SSR residing abroad and who have not acquired the citizenship of another country.
The acquisition of citizenship by birth – Jus Sanguinis (right of blood).
Generally, right of blood, by which nationality is acquired through descent, is the prevailing principle in Armenia.
A child whose parents hold Armenian citizenship at the moment of his/her births acquires Armenian citizenship automatically regardless of the place of the birth.
The child whose one parent holds Armenian citizenship at the moment of his/her birth, while the other parent is stateless or has unknown citizenship, also acquires Armenian citizenship. Meanwhile, if one of the parents holds foreign citizenship, the child's citizenship is determined on the basis of the written consent of both parents.
In the cases of the absence of such consent, the child acquires the Armenian citizenship if:
He/she was born in the territory of Armenia or
He/she will become stateless unless he/she acquires Armenian citizenship,
He/she resides in Armenia and the consent of one of the parents to acquire Armenian citizenship is available.
In what cases does the child acquire Armenian citizenship by virtue of Jus Soli principle ("Right of Soil")?
The birthright citizenship enables a child to acquire citizenship of the state where he/she was born. The child who was born in the territory of Armenia acquires Armenian citizenship in the following cases:
His/her parents are stateless persons,
The citizenship of parents is unknown,
One of the parents is stateless and another parent's citizenship is unknown,
The parents are foreign citizens but are unable to pass their citizenship to the child under the legislation of the corresponding state,
One of the parent's citizenship is unknown and another parent is unable to pass his/her citizenship to the child.
One of the parents is stateless and another parent is unable to pass his/her citizenship to the child.
A child of Armenian origin and his/her parents who do not have Armenian citizenship, have the right to acquire Armenian citizenship from the moment of permanently residing in Armenia.
Who can apply for Armenian citizenship?
Everyone over the age of 18 with no Armenian citizenship has the right to apply for Armenian citizenship regardless of his place of residence if he/ she meets the following requirements:
He/she has constantly resided in Armenia over the past three years,
Is able to explain himself/herself in Armenian, and
Is familiar with the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia.
As an exception, the following persons are eligible for Armenian citizenship without meeting the requirements of the term of residence and of ability to explain themselves in Armenian if he/she:
He/she has been in a registered marriage with an Armenian citizen over the last two years and has resided in Armenia for at least 365 days during that two-year period or has a child with an Armenian citizen who also holds Armenian citizenship.
His/her one or both parents previously had Armenian citizenship or were born in Armenia and his/her applied for Armenian citizenship within 3 years after turning 18.
He/she has renounced his/her citizenship after the first of January 1995,
Has been recognized as a refugee or stateless person residing in Armenia.
Without meeting the above-mentioned requirements, Armenian citizenship can be granted to:
Armenians by origin;
a person with no active legal capacity whose guardian is an Armenian citizen;
persons who have provided exceptional services to Armenia.
What procedure should an applicant go through to acquire Armenian citizenship?
The application for acquiring Armenian citizenship should be signed and submitted only by an applicant in person (in case of an applicant with no legal active capacity, it is done through his/her guardian) to the Passport and Visa Department of Police in Armenia or to the nearest Diplomatic and Consular representations of Armenia abroad.
Normally, an application is processed in 4-6 months.
The process starts from the Passport and Visa Department of police or the diplomatic representation of Armenia (in the latter case, the application along with the required documents are forwarded to the mentioned department of police). Then the case is submitted to the President's office. Prior to the grant or rejection of the citizenship application, the case is subject to the consideration by the Citizenship Committee at the President's Office, headed by the Ministry of Justice. Every case is reviewed by the National Security Service as well.
Armenian citizenship is granted by a presidential decree.
The applicant is informed about every stage of the process and the outcome via email or messages.
The application for acquiring the Armenian citizenship can be rejected if the applicant poses a threat to state and social security, public order, protection of the public health and traditions, rights, freedoms, dignity and good reputation of others. The rejection of the application to acquire Armenian citizenship can be issued without justification.
The person acquiring Armenian citizenship must take an oath and sign its text.
What documents need to be submitted to acquire Armenian citizenship?
Normally, an applicant is required to submit the following documents:
Passport and its copy
6 colored photos with 35x45mm size
receipt for the payment of the state fee in the amount of AMD 1000 (approx. 2,5 US dollar)
Depending on the applicant's status and the legal ground of acquiring Armenian citizenship additional documents may be required, such as:
Certificate of birth and its copy
Certificate of Marriage and its copy
The passport of the spouse and its copy or a certificate attesting the spouse's citizenship
His/her child's birth certificate and its copy
His/her child's passport and its copy or another document certifying the citizenship or their child
What documents can attest to Armenian ethnicity?
The following documents are considered proof of the applicant's parent's Armenian ethnicity:
Baptism certificate issued by an ecclesiastical organization (acceptable list of those entities can be found in Appendix 4 of Government decree N 1390-N of 23.11.2007);
Government-issued documents which should be apostilled or certified by a consul;
Birth certificate or any ID of the parents (grandfather, grandmother, sister or brother) which contains a mention of the holder's Armenian ethnicity. This document must be accompanied by any government-issued document confirming family ties.
Is dual citizenship allowed in Armenia?
Armenia allows dual citizenship. Dual citizenship is a citizenship status of simultaneously being a citizen of more than one country. Dual citizens have the same rights and obligations as Armenian citizens accept if Armenia's international treaties or laws provide otherwise. One exception provided for by the law concerns mandatory military service. Individuals, who have served at least 12 months in a foreign military or served an alternative civilian service for at least 18 months before acquiring Armenian citizenship, are exempt from mandatory military service. Armenian citizens who have acquired foreign citizenship are subject to military conscription irrespective of their service in the foreign military (Article 21 § 1 (2) and § 6 of the RA law on "Military Service and the Status of Serviceman").
What are the grounds for the loss of Armenian citizenship?
Armenian citizenship ceases in the following cases:
Change in citizenship;
Armenian citizenship has been acquired through false information or documents and 5 years have not passed since the day the illegal action was committed,
Other cases provided for by the international agreements of the Republic of Armenia.
What is the basis and procedure to renounce Armenian citizenship?
Any citizen over 18 years old can change the Armenian citizenship by renouncing their citizenship and acquiring the citizenship of another state.
The request for renouncing Armenian citizenship may be rejected, if:
The applicant is under a criminal investigation,
There is a sentence or a judgment against the applicant pending execution;
Renunciation contradicts state security interests;
The applicant has unsettled obligations towards state,
he has not acquired citizenship of another state and does not submit an official confirmation of another state on a legal opportunity of acquiring citizenship until the signature of the presidential decree on the cessation of Armenian citizenship.

The EU BULLY project, funded by DG JUSTICE, has been developed to support teachers to address bullying with young people in schools, youth groups etc.
– better trained teachers and support staff to address bullying in all its forms.
– better trained staff to support young people and their parents, carers, guardians and wider family and friends networks to address bullying.
– greater confidence in using drama techniques at school in and outside of the classroom to create safe places to discuss bullying and other contentious issues.
– offering greater flexibility for teachers to use apps developed for mobile technologies.
– improving the content of anti-bullying programmes on offer in schools.
– improved knowledge of the frequency of cyber bullying taking place.
– reducing the disparity in knowledge, skills and understanding between countries in the partnership in regard to bullying and its impact.
Drama sessions and support for teachers in all partner countries are complemented by a specially developed play and a video of the play, to be released soon. In addition teachers can utilise the EU BULLY Quiz and Research survey in their lessons as resources to support their anti-bullying approach.
The app enables people of all ages to learn virtually about bullying. The EU BULLY quiz tests understanding about what types of bullying take place, challenges attitudes to bullying scenarios and how to stay safe online. Users can be self-directed, peer-directed (via competitive challenges) or teacher-directed. This means that teachers and students have a high degree of flexibility in terms of utilising the game in class or outside school. The 24 hour unrestricted access to content enables the quiz to also be picked up by young people on their own accord, to test their knowledge and reconsider their attitudes towards bullying, and roles of victims, bystanders and bullies.
The EUBULLY Quiz is available here – registration required.
This research app is another simple, quick activity that can enhance an anti-bullying activity. It also offers young people the opportunity to contribute to a European wide research project that highlights the scope and nature of cyberbullying today. This resource can be used by children from eight years and above. The research survey app is accessible online and can be downloaded as an app on to iOS and Android devices. This research tool enables young people affected by bullying to speak up about their experiences in the safety of anonymity; the data collected is completely anonymous and is stored in a protected database. The number of bullying incidents online are then reported through a database, and is published on the EU BULLY site, giving real time data on how widespread bullying is across Europe.
The Research survey can be found here and is also available to download on the App Store and Google Play.
Click here to see the booklet created both in this form as well as printed.
Inspired by Insite Drama methodology, and following its application, the students of 1st High School (Lyceion) of Aspropyrgos had their idea to produce a video. The idea was to put in a small video, the exploration that took place before.
More information can be found at the website of the project.


Read this book review to learn about this investing book.
This book review will walk you through Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements, so you can decide if this is the right financial book for you. And guess what?
In this book review I'll not only tell you what I liked and disliked about this book. I'll also answer the other burning questions you have, like who is Mary Buffett? And does this book accurately represent the Warren Buffett approach to value investing.
Hopefully my perspective will prove helpful for you. I've read plenty of Warren Buffett books and have studied Buffett's investment strategies in-depth. So I feel qualified to give you a clear answer as to whether Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements is the right book for you.
Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements was a great book. I was actually surprised how good it was. I wasn't even going to buy this book, but I really needed something quick in a pinch. I'm glad I picked it up.
The main reason why I liked Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements so much is because it's exactly what it sounds like. The book has one or two quick introductory chapters about Warren Buffett and his overall investment approach. And then from there, it just gets down to business.
The book dedicates each chapter to a line on each financial statement. It then methodically goes through the income statements, balance sheet and cash-flow statement. And of course, the chapters don't just talk about the financial line items. They discuss how Warren Buffett would interpret each particular.
Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements is so focused on helping you understand the facts that it lays out an actionable roadmap you can follow to interpret financial statements in a Warren-Buffett-Like manner.
But wait, I know what you're thinking?
When people write about "what Warren Buffett would do" I'm always skeptical. I mean, why are they writing books if they know how to get so rich, right? But in this case, I was reassured.
Mary Buffett is the former daughter-in-law of Warren Buffett. She was married to his son for 11 years, and presumably has spent some time around the Buffett household.
David Clark, the other author is a practicing "Buffettologist" living in Omaha. He studies Warren Buffett and runs an investment fund. So it seems the authors of this book are more than just passing Warren Buffett fans.
But other than that, there's one other thing about the book I want to warn you out.
While Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements is a great book to help you improve your value investing, it's not perfect. The book is only about 170 pages long. And the pages are pretty small. So while the book moves quickly, it's also necessarily a little simple.
I think I got more out of this book because I've read so many other essays, letters and books by and about Warren Buffett. While you can definitely read this book early in your investment career, I think you'll get more out of it if you focus on some of the fundamentals first.
Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements is a great book. But my favourite part is they give specific measures and metrics for you to use as a yardstick when evaluating financial statements for yourself.
Whether it's a balance sheet, cash flow or income statement, this book gives you specific benchmarks to keep in mind when you're evaluating your own stock ideas. What more could you ask for?
I think the one thing that would make Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements an even better book was if it contained a summary table with all of the stats and figures they mention. I'm seriously contemplating making one.
Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements is a great investing book that I recommend to value investors of all shapes and sizes. It's a good refresher on the fundamental best practices of financial analysis. And it's really easy to understand. For those reasons alone I recommend you buy Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements on Amazon.
If you're looking for a little more information, check out the video book review of Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements below.

and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, "Ananias!" "Yes, Lord," he answered.
The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."
"Lord," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name."
Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord--Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here--has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
and after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
All those who heard him were astonished and asked, "Isn't he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn't he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?"
Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple.
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus.
When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the saints in Lydda.
There he found a man named Aeneas, a paralytic who had been bedridden for eight years.
Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, "Please come at once!"
Cornelius stared at him in fear. "What is it, Lord?" he asked. The angel answered, "Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.
Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter.
He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea."
He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.
He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air.
"Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."
While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon's house was and stopped at the gate.
They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.
While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Simon, three men are looking for you.
So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them."
Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests. The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went along.
But Peter made him get up. "Stand up," he said, "I am only a man myself."
Talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.
He said to them: "You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.
So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?"
and said, `Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor.
So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us."
He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen--by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.


Remove jewelry when bathing or pooling, as the chemicals in the pool water can affect the parts, causing them to lose their brightness and may even with the infiltration of these products release the stones.In addition the shampoo, soap and the ends can darken the piece.
Avoid using them when exercising to sweat, as some people have a high uric acid content, which is expelled by sweat, and damage to the parts may occur.
Remove whenever you use cleaning products, as the chemicals and abrasives can stain the parts.
Always clean with a clean dry flannel or flannel suitable for costume jewelry, avoid using chemicals for cleaning.
Keep all parts separate, so they do not get stuck, preferably in separate sachets.
Always keep in a box, preferably a jewelry storage box.There are numerous types of jewelry holders, as it is essential to protect the jewelry from heat, moisture and sun.
And always remove the jewelry before using perfumes or cosmetics and wait a few minutes before replacing them.
To avoid having problems with thin collars that usually get entangled (and it is not easy to loosen knots), you can place them on specific hooks that can be placed on the wall.
Put a white (school) chalk in the place where you keep your bijus, because it removes the moisture avoiding oxidation and darkening of the pieces.
To remove the blackout and return the glitter of the jewelry, wipe the toothpaste with your fingers and then wipe the area with toilet paper. Do this about 3 times and then dry, and if that does not work, you can give your costume a new face by painting with enamel. Give preference to metal glazes that will give a better finish.

VOL 78
Vol 49-MS. JENNY LEE
Thursday, 23 May 2019 by AHA Centre
MS. JENNY LEE
Lunch time at the AHA Centre's office has become merrier since the beginning of 2019. The laughter, casual conversations, as well as thought-provoking discussions shared during the break involves a new friend from a neighbouring country – Australia. Ms. Jenny Lee has been assigned to support the AHA Centre as a Senior Civil-Military Coordination Specialist through the Australia Assists Programme – for the first half of 2019. Her temporary assignment with the AHA Centre aims to strengthen humanitarian civil-military coordination, safety and security policies for the ASEAN-ERAT members, and AHA Centre staff. With more than 12 years of experience in the humanitarian sector, Jenny has established her expertise in civil-military coordination, safety and security, and gender. She has contributed to numerous emergency responses, in parts of Central America, Asia and the Pacific as well as supporting the search for missing MH-370 in the Southern Indian Ocean. The AHA Centre is pleased to share with you one of our in-depth conversations with Jenny.
"I was drawn to the humanitarian work because of my late grandmother. She did not introduce me to organisations like the United Nations, or different NGOs or other humanitarian agencies, but she showed me the positive impact a person can make if they have the right attitude and intentions for the community", Jenny explains when asked about the start of her professional journey. As she recalls her childhood memories, Jenny remembers her grandmother being the unofficial "community leader", whom neighbours turned to whenever they needed help, often creating a safe space to listen and provide support for others. This experience created a lasting impact leading Jenny to believe that becoming a humanitarian starts in one's own home and community – regardless of education or experience.
Having worked in the humanitarian sector for over a decade, Jenny saw the impact of conflict and disasters from the affected communities. In the topic of gender, she saw similar challenges for men, women, boys and girls in 12 countries. It was common to see women and girls consistently experiencing the same obstacles that stem from gender inequality. Challenges to accessing schooling, challenges to balancing professional lives as mothers and wives, to difficulty in accessing basic female hygiene kits and health services to mention a few things. This exposure has drawn her to realise that addressing root causes of gender inequality would need to be a collective effort from everyone in all parts of the community, organisations and at the political level regardless of gender. She's also learned that perspectives do matter, and it is crucial to understand different perspectives are important for suitable solutions.
Adopting gender lens and understanding the impact of inequality takes time and effort, and may not come naturally for many people. In this context, advocacy is difficult, and "buy-in" (convincing people that this is worthwhile) from the right people is also difficult to achieve. Advocating for anything that deals under the umbrella of gender – from organisational policy, safety and security in the field, gender balanced representation in leadership and staff, emergency humanitarian aid – can be very challenging. However, the courage to raise such issues and empowering both men and women that their perspectives are important, and can be rewarding and lead to better solutions to different issues.
Jenny has learned over the years that "how" you start the advocacy discussion makes all the difference. She's come across soldiers, military officers and police officers who were not only keen to addressing gender inequality and wanted to make a difference on changing the structural discrimination for women to ensure they have a more effective force. However, many did share insights of how it wasn't pleasant to be cornered into a "gender-insensitive" individual by many activists. To Jenny, she's learned this from a friend who admitted that understanding the concept of gender perspectives and seeing what this looks like from a practitioner's point of view was difficult as this is asking him to shift away from the mindset that he has built for over 30 years in the security sector.
Moreover, Jenny acknowledges strong leadership is a key to achieve gender equality. Leadership starts with individuals at all levels, but executive leadership is crucial for an organisation to learn and adapt to the needs and requirements to ensure that everything within the work of an organisation is gender sensitive. She's observed different approaches of senior leaders on how they do this. Some show leadership on this as a result of personal experience and ideas, some leaders who are new to this concept choose to rely on their gender expert and rely on them to ensure that all issues are addressed.
Jenny learned that with all these leaders (male and female), when asked why they decided to take this forward, they simply stated that "it is the right thing to do". Organisations should reflect the global 50:50 male/female ratio at all levels to ensure that the work they do sees better quality, better effect and better solutions. Another key characteristic of their leadership was that they empowered those who were working for them, giving them chances to make "productive mistakes" which always helped everyone to become better at what they do. This helped everyone on their learning journey on understanding the intricacies of gender sensitive policies and what this looked like at the practitioner level which made a huge difference.
She concludes that, "Back in Australia, in my previous role without the leadership support, I would never had the freedom and the confidence that I have today to advocate for this. So, leadership support is key, and their empowerment of my work was also a key. On reflection, the amount of trust they gave me, was quite phenomenal and I think this helped in achieving a lot of huge tasks – as well as their open-mindedness to learn new things to make the world a little bit better than yesterday. Everyone has a room to contribute and no contribution in this sector is small."

Vol 49-THE ASEAN WORKSHOP ON DISASTER REPORTING AND BIG DATA FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT
THE ASEAN WORKSHOP
ON DISASTER REPORTING AND BIG DATA
FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Big data and the array of supporting disaster-related information has the potential to enhance the quality of disaster management policies and activities across the ASEAN region. However, much scoping, learning and sharing is still to be undertaken to begin fully realising the potential of such data. Based on this, the AHA Centre invited disaster managers and information crunchers alike to begin exploring potential and opportunities by taking part in the ASEAN Workshop on Disaster Reporting and Big Data for Disaster Management, which was held in Jakarta on the 18th – 19th of March 2019.
The AHA Centre's Executive Director, Ms. Adelina Kamal, highlighted the importance of this innovative event during her opening address. "Back-to-back disasters in the region have shown the importance of disaster reporting and harnessing data. Interoperability across systems of ASEAN Member States and the AHA Centre is also important to enable ASEAN to become the future global leader in disaster management. Furthermore, data intelligence system will increase speed, scale, and solidarity of One ASEAN One Response" she explained to the participants, made-up of delegates from the 10 ASEAN Member States, ASEAN Dialogue Partners, regional and international organisations, academic institutions, civil societies and the private sector.
The first of the workshop's three panel discussions focused on the Introduction of Big Data and Internet of Things, introducing all in attendance to the concepts and potentials of big data, predictive analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IOT). The session included talks from Ms. Derval Usher (Head of Office, UN PulseLab Jakarta), Dr. Ismail Fahmi (CEO of Media Kernels Indonesia), and Mr. Syafri Bahar (Vice President of Data Science, GO-JEK). Following-on from this was a panel about Humanitarian Data and Applications to learn from existing use and trends of big data, predictive analytics, AI and IOT, and their applications for disaster management. Insights included from Mr. Yantisa Akhadi (Country Manager, Humanitarian OpenStreet Map), Mr. Faizal Thamrin (UNOCHA Humanitarian Data Exchange), and Dr. Daisuke Sasaki (Assistant Professor International Research Institute of Disaster Science – IRIDeS Japan). The panel sessions wound-up with a discussion on the Future of Humanitarian Data Intelligence, particularly within the ASEAN context, and was provided insights from Dr. Mizan Bisri (Post-doctoral Researcher, United Nations University Institute of Advanced Study of Sustainability Japan) and Mr. Ray Shirkhodai (Executive Director, Pacific Disaster Center based in Hawaii).
The second day of the workshop brought participants together through a group discussion on a wide range of topics related to the previous day's content – and invited groups to relate the ideas and innovations to the current context within their own country. The resulting outcomes included recommendations for utilising data for more strategic humanitarian assistance, creating stronger connections between the AHA Centre and ASEAN Member States for more modern data collection and provision – particularly related to Big Data's potential for stronger forecasting, and exploring potential challenges and opportunities for National Disaster Management Organisations to apply the valuable big data mechanisms. Potential was highlighted for the AHA Centre to engage universities in big data, to utilise potential of big data research, training and capacity building. In this regard, it may be a good the idea for the AHA Centre to have a collaboration with ASEAN University Network, among others. Challenges were also identified regarding data sharing and data protection policy, raising the need for the development of regional data governance mechanisms.
UNDERSTANDNG THE FIVE VS OF BIG DATA:
As the innovative and forward-thinking event came to its close, Mr. Yasushi Furukawa from Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication highlighted the benefit of such efforts, from the perspective of the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF) as a key supporter of the workshop and the AHA Centre's overall Information Communications and Technology programming. He stated that the Government of Japan was delighted to support and contribute to the implementation of the AHA Centre ICT Project since Phase I in 2011, continuing until now with ICT Phase IV. He expressed his great appreciation to the AHA Centre in organising such a workshop, and looks forward to the region recognising the potential that big data holds.

Vol 49-SDC SWISS AGENCY FOR DEVELOPMENT AND COOPERATION
AGENCY FOR DEVELOPMENT AND COOPERATION
The Government of Switzerland, through the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), highlights humanitarian aid as a key priority within its international development efforts. Disaster risk reduction, emergency relief, and reconstruction are the three pillars of the SDC's humanitarian activities, therefore aligning them strongly with the AHA Centre's role in the ASEAN region. Throughout the last few years the SDC and AHA Centre have worked on a range of activities aiming to advance the ASEAN region's disaster management practices and processes, forming the base of this key strategic partnership between the two bodies.
As part of this partnership, in 2018 the SDC supported the AHA Centre on the implementation of a real-time earthquake disaster response simulation, together with the Global Initiative on Disaster Risk Management (GIDRM – as covered in the Column Volume 48), which facilitated the AHA Centre staff to implement internal preparedness and response mechanisms, and included a review and evaluation following the scenario. SDC has also provided support through a range of expertise and consultations within AHA Centre programming, including two for the ARDEX-18 Referee Training in July 2018, and the implementation of ARDEX-18 in later in November. The experts were not only engaged directly in the activities, but also supported performance reviews of the AHA Centre's emergency operations functions once the event had finished.
Additionally, Switzerland also provided funding support during 2018 to facilitate the AHA Centre's participation in the Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Mongolia, also ensuring best practices from the region could be highlighted at this important event. Such support and engagement is of high importance for the AHA Centre, as it allows for a united and strong ASEAN voice on the international disaster management stage. This importance was further strengthened by the AHA Centre's Executive Director Ms. Adelina Kamal when she stated recently that.
"ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TASKS OF THE AHA CENTRE IS TO ENABLE THE ASEAN REGION TO ACHIEVE ITS VISION OF BECOMING THE GLOBAL LEADER ON DISASTER MANAGEMENT BY THE YEAR 2025. WE HIGHLY APPRECIATE THAT THE SWISS GOVERNMENT AS THE HOME OF INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN COMMUNITY SEES THIS IMPORTANCE AND HAS HELPED ASEAN THROUGH THE AHA CENTRE CLIMB THAT LADDER BY CONNECTING US WITH OTHER REGIONAL ORGANISATIONS AND THE INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN COMMUNITY"

Vol 49-TIDAL FLOODING INSIGHT INTO A UNIQUE PHENOMENON
TIDAL FLOODING
INSIGHT INTO A UNIQUE PHENOMENON
For this Column Volume's Insight, the AHA Centre invited a young contributor who was also one of its interns – Eviana Rosida – to develop an interesting and informative article. Evi's current studies in disaster management see her focusing on the unique occurrence of tidal flooding, upon which she has developed this volume's Insight article. For the ASEAN region, with a coastline 173,00 km in total length, and nine nations bordering the sea or having maritime zones, the potential for tidal flooding is significant. Increasing population density in coastal areas across the region also increases potential impact, while many high-density areas facing the sea are formed by coastal cities.
ABOUT TIDAL FLOODS
Tidal floods in coastal areas may happen due to the process of rising sea water, tidal waves (different from tsunami), the high flow of river water, or general sea level rises. Naturally, tropical cyclones can also trigger a tidal flood. A tidal flood is a flood due to the tidal process that inundates land/coastal areas that are located lower than the average sea level. Long ocean waves are related to tides, and are characterised by the rhythmic rise and fall of the sea surface after a period of several hours. A rising tide is usually referred to as the flow, while the decreasing tide is called the ebb.
There is also a connection between tides and the sun and moon. Tides are in their highest state when the moon is full or new, and high tidal times at a particular location can be estimated (but not exactly) associated with the position of the moon in the sky. Water at the end of the beach bordering the ocean never stays at a fixed height, but they always move up and down according to the tide cycle. These elements also have an impact on tidal flooding.
THE FORMATION OF TIDAL FLOOD PROCESS
As the tidal process undertakes its vertical movement of sea level, these shallow water waves are produced by the gravitational force of the moon and sun on the ocean. The intensity of the force varies according to the position of the moon, sun and earth, and as a result, large tides see the water (with the help of gravitational forces) flow into low places and fill the space, inundating these lower parts.
Tidal flood can be caused by anthropogenic activities, particularly due to land degradation. Human populations living in coastal areas result in high use of groundwater. This use of ground water that exceeds the limit of the groundwater's ability to replenish is called exploitation, and can increase vulnerability to inundation due to tidal flooding. Tidal floods have hit several areas in Java, Indonesia for example, as the density of people who live on Java has an impact on land subsidence, with high groundwater exploitation causing water to easily inundate the land. The impact of tidal flood sees bodies of sea water causing damage to asphalt roads, and damage to motorised vehicles and bicycles. In addition, sea water that enters the land (sea water intrusion) causes the groundwater to taste salty, and meaning it cannot be used as raw material for drinking water or for daily needs. Salty groundwater can also have a significant negative effect on farming livelihoods in an inundated region.
TIDAL FLOOD PREVENTION
In the short-term, such events may be prevented by building dikes to withstand the tidal waves of sea water heading to the mainland. More long-term, the effect of tidal flooding can be reduced by planting mangroves. Mangrove forests play an important role as ocean wave breakers, retaining wind speeds, and as a habitat for various flora and fauna. Such biological prevention techniques can also be supported by physical development, such as building wall borders between sea and land to act as a wave breaker. Communities who live in coastal area must also be aware about rising sea levels, and reducing exploitation of groundwater so that land subsidence can be avoided.

Vol 49-MONTHLY DISASTER REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
MONTHLY DISASTER REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
MARCH 2019 | DISASTER MONITORING & ANALYSIS
(DMA) UNIT, AHA CENTRE
GENERAL OVERVIEW OF MARCH 2019
March ended the first quarter of 2019 continuing the trend of lower disaster occurrences compared to its five-year average. This month registered 61% of its five-year average number of disaster occurrences, similar to the statistics of January 2019. However, the number of affected persons was more than 10 times the average for March, and the number of casualties is more than 13 times more than the previous 5 years on average. These considerable differences were driven by two significant events – the drought in North Cotabato, Philippines and the flooding in Sentani, Indonesia. 60% of this month's affected population is attributed to the Philippines drought, particularly due to the drought's extensive geographic coverage. On the other hand, 92% of this month's casualties resulted from the flooding and landslide in Sentani, Indonesia. The primary factor for these figures can be attributed to the timing of the flash flood, which happened at night while most of the residents were sleeping in their homes. This highlights the importance of availability, accessibility, and utilisation of early warning information to drive early action.
Geophysical disasters decreased in March compared to the previous 2 months, with only 23 earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 and above recorded in the region. Of these recorded earthquakes, only one resulted in loss of life. A shallow earthquake with magnitude 5.4 struck north of Selong City in East Lombok Regency, Indonesia. This resulted in damage and collapse of structures in the area, as well as falling rocks and debris at the nearby Tiu Kelep Waterfall in North Lombok Regency, which resulted in the deaths of two tourists visiting the site. This highlights the nature and need for multi-disciplinary and cross-cutting approaches in disaster management
The ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre reports the end of the Northeast Monsoon, and that onset of the inter-monsoon period is taking place. This is the transition phase between the Northeast and Southwest Monsoons, which is characterised by increased occurrence of scattered rain showers in the region. While seasonal forecast models point to a general increase in rainfall frequency, and a geographic expansion of rain showers, precipitation on the other hand ranges from normal in the Philippines to below-normal in eastern Indonesia and the northern ASEAN region. While the amount of rainfall may not be considerably large, the increase in exposure may still trigger flooding and rain-induced landslides.
Statistically, large-scale disasters that require regional-level response occur during the second half of the year. At the end of 2019's first quarter, the AHA Centre is wrapping up its preparatory activities for emergency response and other events. This includes the updating and preparation of Common Operational Datasets, 11th ASEAN-ERAT Induction Course, the preparation for the launch of the DELSA satellite warehouses and many more. Activities such as these help prepare the AHA Centre, and the region, to respond to disaster whenever and wherever it may strike.

Vol 49 – THE LAUNCH OF ARMOR FIRST EDITION
THE LAUNCH OF ARMOR FIRST EDITION
The ASEAN Risk Monitor and Disaster Management Review (ARMOR) is the AHA Centre's newest information publication – a journal that aims to combine science, policy recommendations, and review of actual practices in disaster management. ARMOR's development is a primary element of the AHA Centre's efforts to increase the ASEAN region's knowledge and skills within the global disaster management field, with the first edition published during March 2019. To celebrate this significant achievement, the AHA Centre held ARMOR's launching event on the 20th of March in Jakarta, Indonesia.
A key aim of ARMOR – is to bridge the gap between science and decision-making in disaster management, with the launch event opening discussions between scientists and decision-makers who were in attendance. The event was officially opened by the Deputy Secretary – General (DSG) of ASEAN for Community and Corporate Affairs – H.E. AKP Mochtan, the Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Indonesia and Timor Leste – H.E. Moazzam Malik, and the AHA Centre's Executive Director – Ms. Adelina Kamal. Overall, over 100 guests attended the event, including representatives from ASEAN Member States, ASEAN Dialogue Partners, the British Embassy in Jakarta, senior officials of the Indonesian government, a range of AHA Centre partner organisations, academic and scientific community and journalists.
The importance of ARMOR for disaster management in the ASEAN region was reflected by DSG AKP Mochtan in his speech, in which he not only congratulated the AHA Centre for its work on the publication, but also highlighted the functionality of the publication for regional disaster managers and decision-makers."I would like to congratulate the AHA Centre for its tremendous work in providing a critical platform to bridge science and decision making in the region. The launch of ARMOR is an auspicious critical step forward to building knowledge in the ASEAN community and a valuable opportunity for ASEAN to re-examine our evidence-based decision-making processes. As one of the most highly vulnerable regions to catastrophic disasters, ASEAN has no other alternative but to work toward institutionalising resilience among its communities and peoples."
During the event, sections from the 10 chapters of ARMOR's first edition were also discussed by regional disaster management professionals who contributed to the writing, including Dr. Mizan Bisri of the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability and Mr. Lawrence Anthony Dimailig of the AHA Centre. The discussion panel – moderated by Said Faisal, the former Executive Director of the AHA Centre who also served as a member of the Board of Editors of ARMOR – gained significant insights and feedback from guest experts such as Dr. Allistair Cook from the Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, and Mr. Ray Shirkhodai, the Executive Director of the Pacific Disaster Center based in Hawaii.
The success of the launching, and importance of ARMOR overall was reaffirmed by Executive Director of the AHA Centre, Ms. Adelina Kamal during her speech in which she stated that "ARMOR aims to put science at the centre of decision-making process. We are very pleased to launch ARMOR, and hope that the report will be beneficial for our stakeholders to address disaster management across the region". Ms. Kamal also expressed gratitude to all those involved, reminding all in attendance that "the resources required to develop the ARMOR report are not those of the AHA Centre's alone, but from the active contribution and participation of the authors, reviewers, editors, and partners of the AHA Centre".

Vol 48-PROF. DR. KUNTORO MANGKUSUBROTO
Tuesday, 21 May 2019 by AHA Centre
PROF. DR. KUNTORO MANGKUSUBROTO
Prof. Dr. Kuntoro Mangkusubroto is one of Indonesia's and ASEAN's leading figures on disaster recovery and reconstruction. With a deep background forged through a variety of governance and private business roles focused towards energy and natural resources, Dr. Mangkusubroto is also the founder of the School of Business and Management of the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). His leadership as the head of the Aceh-Nias Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Agency from in 2005-2009 – which saw him oversee post-tsunami reconstruction and utilisation of local and international assistance to rebuild the shattered region – elevated Dr. Mangkusubroto to become one of the region's most renowned leaders in disaster management.
Dr. Mangkusubroto's success leading post-tsunami reconstruction efforts has seen him become a go-to resource in other ASEAN disaster response and recovery efforts – being invited to engage in disasters across ASEAN Member States including Myanmar and the Philippines, as well as international efforts in Nepal and Japan. During 2018's AHA Centre Executive (ACE) Programme's Leaders Talk series, participants had the opportunity to learn about the key concepts and integral elements of strong leadership in disaster recovery from Dr. Mangkusubroto himself. Central to Dr. Mangkusubroto's message was the importance of trust and integrity of ASEAN leaders in disaster management and coordination.
To gain this trust, Dr. Mangkusubroto says, leaders must be able to approach key players and parties to ensure efficiency in logistics and other disaster management processes. He emphasises that knowing who to approach and what to say is key to overcoming the variety of obstacles that can arise during a disaster response. It is through these approaches and the conveying of succinct and clear information that shows one's integrity, and with this integrity the trust is then strengthened. Dr. Mangkusubroto also highlights the importance of understanding specific contexts and cultures of communities across the region, and that leaders must be prepared to recognise and, importantly, overcome issues for better results for the people as a whole.
"As a leader, people will come to you continuously – they may be angry, sad or unstable due to their losses", he said. "Just let them release, listen to them, and just give them your sympathy, as once you've finished your work, they'll realise you are serious." .

Mr. Mangkusubroto also highlights the importance of understanding specific contexts and cultures of communities across the region, and that leaders must be prepared to recognise and, importantly, overcome issues for better results for the people as a whole.
Recalling the experiences from the huge reconstruction efforts after the Indian Ocean Tsunami in Aceh, Dr. Mangkusubroto highlights the importance of remaining calm and focused during the midst of high emotions and traumatised communities. "As a leader, people will come to you continuously – they may be angry, sad or unstable due to their losses", he said. "Just let them release, listen to them, and just give them your sympathy, as once you've finished your work, they'll realise you are serious". These are just some of the challenges faced by disaster managers and leaders in the field, and overcoming these calmly and reasonably are a big part of what regional leaders must aim to achieve.
After discussions on a range of contexts and experiences faced by leaders in disaster management, Dr. Mangkusubroto concludes on the key elements of efficient and effective disaster management leaders – particularly when in the field in the period after large disasters strike. He emphasises the importance of coordination and communication, whether with governments, local and international responders, logistics providers and the affected communities themselves. He highlights that all parties are there to help and support in their own way, and it is up to the leaders to ensure all parties come together to achieve the greatest results. Dr. Mangkusubroto insists that regardless of the mix of contexts, cultures or political influences at play, the best outcomes can and must be achieved for an effective and sustainable recovery and reconstruction phase. And this, he reminds us, is the key role of ASEAN leaders on disaster management.

Vol 48-(GIDRM) GLOBAL INITIATIVE ON DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT
GIDRM
GLOBAL INITIATIVE ON DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT
Disaster Risk Management (DRM) forms a key element of all international development agendas and its implementation is an important element for all nations. Such importance and presence, however, has been found to lead to a range of cost burdens, overlapping programmes, and working duplications as varying government and non-government agencies undertake their DRM activities. The German-funded Global Initiative on Disaster Risk Management (GIDRM) project aims to overcome these obstacles, and create efficiency and coherence within national and international DRM efforts.
Based on the realisation of such agendas as the Sendai-Framework, Paris Climate Agreement and Agenda 2030, GIDRM works to link a range of DRM elements of such agendas through planning, implementation and reporting of DRM requirements. Funded through the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the GIDRM has engaged with the AHA Centre and a number of ASEAN nations during the second phase of the project, specifically working with the Philippines who have been designated as one of GIDRM's two key pilot countries (the second being Mexico). Rather than a top-down approach, GIDRM works to support efforts from the bottom-up. Examples of successful coherence and efficiency from national and sub-national levels aim to be highlighted at regional and global level, to promote learning and good practices, and form recommendations for expanded activity implementation.
The partnership between GIDRM and the AHA Centre began in 2016, and has resulted in a range of workshops and training exercises, implemented both specifically for the AHA Centre and also engaging a wider range of regional disaster management stakeholders. In 2018, the AHA Centre and GIDRM undertook an earthquake disaster response simulation, allowing the AHA Centre staff to practice their internal preparedness and response mechanisms, which were reviewed and evaluated after the scenario took place. GIDRM also previously supported implementation of the ASEAN Regional Disaster Emergency Response Simulation Exercise (ARDEX) 2016 in Brunei Darussalam, and worked with the AHA Centre and ASEAN Member States to review ARDEX processes, as well as wider mechanisms including the Standard Operating Procedure for Regional Standby Arrangements and Coordination of Joint Disaster Relief and Emergency Response Operations (SASOP).
Vol 48-ASEAN-ERAT IN-COUNTRY NETWORK, LAO PDR
ASEAN-ERAT
IN-COUNTRY NETWORK, LAO PDR
Two years ago during May 2017, the ASEAN Emergency Response and Assessment Team (ASEAN-ERAT) Advisory Group Meeting agreed on the concept of an ASEAN-ERAT In-Country Network. The main objectives of the ASEAN-ERAT In-Country Network include:
1. Maintaining communication among ASEAN-ERAT members in their respective countries, as well as enhancing coordination among ASEAN-ERAT members, National Disaster Management Organisations (NDMOs), and the AHA Centre
2. Facilitating information and knowledge sharing, as well as promoting dialogue for improving the ASEAN-ERAT system
3. Leveraging the adopted ASEAN-ERAT system to be recognised by the national stakeholders
4. Further enhancing rapid deployment of ASEAN-ERAT members in times of emergencies
Following 2018's establishment of the ASEAN-ERAT In-Country Network in Myanmar and Philippines, the AHA Centre facilitated the establishment of the 3rd network in Vientiane, Lao PDR, during early 2019. Thus, adding another milestone towards reaching the goal of setting-up similar networks in 6 ASEAN Member States by the end of 2019, as part of the ASEAN-ERAT Transformation Plan. This historic milestone for ASEAN-ERAT took place back-to-back with a 'Familiarisation of ASEAN Disaster Management' workshop, which was held on the 12-13 February 2019. The objective of the workshop was to provide an overview of disaster management mechanisms in ASEAN to ministries and other stakeholders, as well as to provide insight into areas of cooperation to enhance disaster management in Lao PDR and the ASEAN region.
The workshop was organised by the Social Welfare Department, Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare of Lao PDR, supported by the AHA Centre, and attended by participants from relevant ministries such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Ministry of Science and Technology, and Ministry of Culture, Information and Tourism. A number of partners were also present during the meeting, such as Lao Red Cross, Bank of Lao PDR, and ASEAN-ERAT members who are based in Lao PDR.

Vol 48-HEAT TRAINING
HEAT TRAINING
Humanitarian workers in emergency response not only face ongoing dangers due to natural hazards, but also can be vulnerable to lawlessness, political instability and armed conflict in areas with access and infrastructure difficulties. Issues such as harassment, interactions with aggressive armed combatants, day light robbery and traffic accidents are all realistic risks, requiring humanitarian responders to be prepared on how to deal with such challenges should they arise. To increase preparedness for the occurrence of potential conflict situations in the future, members of the AHA Centre team departed to Australia to undertake RedR Australia's 5-day Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) course from the 4th to the 7th of February, 2019, in Dookie, Victoria.
The HEAT course includes integrated Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) training which combines theory and practical-based emergency medical training. Such TECC skills include commercial and improvised tourniquets and haemorrhage control, airway management of an unconscious casualty and an array of improvised techniques teaching participants how to save and preserve life with limited resources. This was highlighted as a key element of the course relevant to the AHA Centre, with participants also valuing other elements such as 'movement under fire', that would be of benefit should responders find themselves in such situations.
Engaging in risk preparedness trainings such as HEAT supports the capacity of AHA Centre staff to be ready for any situation, regardless of the context and expectations. Participants noted the real-life' feel of numerous simulations, explaining that they reflect potential occurrences that may take place during response. The use of practical training with dummies during TECC, and direct engagement scenarios such as kidnapping, ensure the team now hold hands-on practical knowledge of how to react in such undesirable situations. Overall, while such occurrences may be few and far between for the AHA Centre staff, there is now sufficient awareness and skills to counter such risks should they arise during emergency response assignments in all locations.

God and the Devil in Africa: Caputo's 'Acts of Faith'
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon.
Philip Caputo's highly acclaimed new novel is mostly set in modern-day Sudan, but that's a location. The story really lives in a shadowy ensemble cast of characters: bush pilots, aid workers, rebels, old imperialists, raiders, slave traders, doctors, warlords and international bureaucrats who dole out survival. In this territory, humanitarianism is not always the answer to humanitarian problems, and people doing the most selfless work can be the most self-righteous. Mr. Caputo's new novel is "Acts of Faith." Philip Caputo won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting at the Chicago Tribune in the 1970s and has since written half a dozen novels. His memoir "A Rumor of War" is highly acclaimed. He joins us now from the studios of WSHU in Fairfield, Connecticut.
Thanks so much for being with us.
Mr. PHILIP CAPUTO (Author, "Acts of Faith"): Well, thanks for having me here.
SIMON: Let me get you to read a section of the book, if possible, and it's about Quinette Hardin, this girl from Iowa who comes to Africa to not only do a good thing, I think we can say objectively, which is to liberate people who've been impressed into slavery, but do it in a very practical way.
Mr. CAPUTO: Well, this takes place after she has been to Sudan once and then returned to the United States, and then now has come back as, so to speak, a full-time employee of this human rights organization that's called the WorldWide Christian Union that liberates the slaves.
SIMON: If I could get you to read a paragraph that sets her up a bit.
Mr. CAPUTO: `Almost everything in Africa excited her. She was the WorldWide Christian Union's field representative in Loki. She had a real place here and real work to do, and it was hers to do for as long as she wanted and for as long as she could put up with the privations, and she was sure she could. Because she didn't regard living in a tent with two other women and outdoor privies and taking showers under a canvas bucket as privation--nor the heat, dust, mud and bugs, the isolation and the hazards of flying into Sudan in small planes. These were minor trials, the small price she had to pay for fulling what she'd always known would be her destiny: to live an extraordinary life. She was doing something difficult, unusual and dangerous. Best of all, it was righteous work.'
SIMON: She's an admirable person, but as you have several characters observe in this book, sometimes humanitarian workers are regarded as a new form of imperialism.
Mr. CAPUTO: Yeah, the imperialism of good intentions. Like all the characters--I tried to make all the characters contradictory people. Quinette--the reader will watch Quinette's evolution from a somewhat naive innocent abroad into what I kind of call a minor-league or bush-league Lady Macbeth.
SIMON: There seems to be a sense, at least, in a couple of characters in your book, that part of the problem Africa has to confront in the world is the number of people who come out there determined to make their lives extraordinary--the aid workers. I'm talking about the people coming in from the outside.
Mr. CAPUTO: Oh. Oh, well, yeah, it is. The aid workers, I would suppose, are not unlike, say, soldiers in a war--yeah, if you talk to a soldier and you say, `Why did you volunteer? Why are you fighting over here?' And he'll say is--`I'm serving my country.' But when you scratch the surface--and you don't have to go very deep--you'll find probably some seven or eight other motives involved in there, and the same thing would be with most aid workers. There is--one person told me, `They're coming over here to save the Africans, but they're really saving themselves.' And some of these people break down emotionally. They burn out. They become embittered, militant, self-righteous and even murderers.
SIMON: Could I ask you to read the first line in your book?
Mr. CAPUTO: `On a hot night in Lokichokio, as a generator thumps in the distance and the katydids cling like thin, winged leaves to the lightbulb overhead, he tells his visitor that there is no difference between God and the devil in Africa.'
SIMON: What has that grown to mean to you--`there's no difference between God and the devil in Africa'? Because you've been--"Horn of Africa" and other books--you've been going to Africa for 30 years.
Mr. CAPUTO: Well, it came from a conversation I was having when I was in Kenya with--I'll call him an entrepreneur of aid--he was talking about Isak Dinesen, the author of the books on Africa and then that the films were made out of. He had said something to the effect that he--reading in her book--that something about the synonymousness of the--of God and the devil in Africa, and that he thought that was true how evil can be intertwined, or very much like a Janus-faced God--two sides, two faces of the same phenomenon, which--we don't think that way very much here in the West. But the African tends to see this ambiguity or this ambivalence more clearly than we do.
SIMON: Does a novelist have to understand both God and the devil?
Mr. CAPUTO: I think that the literary impulse and the religious impulse come from the same part of the mind, the brain, the soul--in the sense of believing that man is only matter--and which gives them something in common, I think, with people of a theological or religious bent. I'm really fascinated by the fact that good and evil are somehow intertwined.
SIMON: Mr. Caputo, thanks very much.
Mr. CAPUTO: Thank you.
SIMON: Philip Caputo. His new novel is "Acts of Faith." Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The Department of Transportation National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded The Brain Trauma Foundation a grant to develop Guidelines for emergency medical service providers and their medical directors on the prehospital assessment and treatment of trauamtic brain injury. The first ever scientific evidence-based protocols, Gudielines for Prehosptial Management of Traumatic Brain Injury, Second Edition, were developed with the assistance of a national group of EMS experts. The goal is to significantly improve emergency care for TBI patients.
The Brain Trauma Foundation assembled a group of expert European and U.S. neurosurgeons to review and develop evidence-based recommendations for the neurosurgical treatment of traumatic brain injury. The Guidelines for the Surgical Management of Traumatic Brain Injury address key topics in the acute neurosurgical management of TBI from acute subdural and epidural hematomas, parenchymal mass lesions, depressed skull fractures through posterior fossa lesions with respect to indications, technique and surgical timing. These Guidelines were approved by the Congress of Neurosurgeons. The Guidelines were published as a supplement to Neurosurgery, March 2006.
Supported by a grant from the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) through the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, INc., the Brain Trauma Foundation assembled a group of civilian and military neurosurgical trauma, and EMS experts to develop the Guidelines for the Field Management of Combat Related Head Trauma. These evidence based Guidelines for military medical personnel address the assessment, treatment, triage, and transport of TBI combat casualties, particularly in the far forward environment. These Guidelines aim to improve outcomes and reduce long-term disabilities of wounded warfighters.
In 1995, the Brain Trauma Foundation developed the first TBI Guidelines with the assistance of a group of international experts in the field. The goal was to offer the latest research on which to build protocols that would improve the survival and outcomes of TBI patients. With the publication of the Guidelines for the Management of Severe Head Injury, the benchmark for evidence-based guidelines in Neurosurgery and other surgical specialties was set. These Guidelines were updated in 2000 under the title Management and Prognosis of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury with the addition of a new section entitled Early Indicators of Prognosis in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury. The American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the World Health Organization's Committee on Neurotrauma have endorsed each document, joined by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and AANS/CNS Joint Section on Neurotrauma and Critical Care for this most recent edition of the Guidelines, published in the Journal of Neurotrauma, May 2007.
Published in 2012, these guidelines reflect updated information from the first edition published in 2003. This document is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics-Section on Neurological Surgery, American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons, Child Neurology Society, European Society of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care, Neurocritical Care Society, Pediatric Neurocritical Care Research Group, Society of Critical Care Medicine, The Paediatric Intensive Care Society (UK), Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care, and the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies.
Published in 2000, this document is endorsed by The American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the World Health Organization's Committee on Neurotrauma. This document is currently being updated.
Marked Improvement in Adherence to TBI Guidelines in US Trauma Centers.
Direct transport within an organized state trauma system reduces mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.
