If you're following basic nutritional guidelines and thinking before you eat, it may seem like your food rules are perfectly lean and correct. But with so much information to follow, it's easy to get lost in the latest—and best—nutritional secrets. The origin: Back in 1983, researchers first discovered that eating more protein increases your glomerular filtration rate, or GFR. Think of GFR as the amount of blood your kidneys are filtering per minute. From this finding, many scientists made the leap that a higher GFR places your kidneys under greater stress. What science really shows: Nearly 2 decades ago, Dutch researchers found that while a protein-rich meal did boost GFR, it didn't have an adverse effect on overall kidney function. In fact, there's zero published research showing that downing hefty amounts of protein—specifically, up to 1.27 grams per pound of body weight a day—damages healthy kidneys. The bottom line: As a rule of thumb, shoot to eat your target body weight in grams of protein daily. For example, if you are 200 pounds and want to be a lean 180, then have 180 grams of protein a day. The origin: Studies show that, per cup, blueberries have among the highest antioxidant content of almost any fruit. So they've been marketed as superior to other fruits—especially bananas. What science really shows: They're both good for you, in different ways. For example, per calorie, bananas have about four times as much potassium and magnesium as blueberries have. So it's not as simple as one food being superior to another; it all has to do with your perspective—and it's likely that variety is best. For instance, Colorado State University scientists found that people who consume the widest array of fruits and vegetables experience more health benefits than those who eat just as much produce from among a smaller assortment. The bottom line: Produce is good for you, as long as you stay away from the "Dirty Dozen" bunch. And for the most benefits, you should eat a mix of the kinds you like the best—not limit yourself based on an antioxidant ranking. The origin: In a 1986 study, Japanese researchers discovered cancer in rats that were fed heterocyclic amines, compounds that are generated from overcooking meat via high heat. Since then, some studies of large populations have suggested a potential link between meat and cancer. What science really shows: No study has ever found a direct cause-and-effect relationship between red-meat consumption and cancer. As for the population studies, they're far from conclusive. They rely on broad surveys of people's eating habits and health afflictions, and the resulting numbers are crunched to find trends, not causes. The bottom line: Don't stop grilling, as long as you're staying away from toxic cooking methods. Meat lovers who are worried about the supposed risks of grilled meat don't need to avoid burgers and steak; rather, they should just trim off the burned or overcooked sections of the meat, or make sure to not to completely char your dinner. The origin: In 2002, University of California at Davis researchers published a well-publicized paper noting that Americans' increasing consumption of fructose, including that in HFCS, paralleled our skyrocketing rates of obesity. What science really shows: Both HFCS and sucrose—better known as table sugar—contain similar amounts of fructose, so watch out for the most common names for sugar. In fact, they're almost chemically identical in that they're both composed of about 50 percent fructose and 50 percent glucose. This is why the University of California at Davis scientists determined fructose intakes from both HFCS and sucrose. The truth is, there's no evidence to show any differences in these two types of sugar. Both will cause weight gain when consumed in excess. The bottom line: HFCS and regular sugar are empty-calorie carbs that should be consumed in limited amounts. The origin: In the 1940s, a Duke University researcher named Walter Kempner, MD, became famous for using salt restriction to treat people with hypertension. Later, studies confirmed that reducing salt could be helpful. What science really shows: Large-scale scientific reviews have determined there's no reason for people with normal blood pressure to restrict sodium. Now, if you are already hypertensive, you may be "salt sensitive." As a result, reducing the amount of salt you eat could be helpful. However, it's been known for 20 years that people with high BP who don't want to lower their salt intake can simply consume more potassium-rich foods to achieve the same health benefits. Why? Because it's the balance of the two minerals that matters: Dutch scientists found that a low potassium intake has the same impact on blood pressure as high salt consumption does. And turns out, the average guy consumes 3,200 milligrams (mg) of potassium a day—1,500 mg less than recommended. The bottom line: Strive for a diet rich in potassium by eating fruits, vegetables, and legumes. For instance, spinach (cooked), bananas, and most types of beans each contain more than 400 mg of potassium per serving.

Yesterday I referred to Ecclesiastes 9:11 as a verse for how to make sense of others' successes when they don't make any sense at all. But this verse about being in the right place at the right time is also a powerful verse in understanding why some things at work, work out and others don't. I am convinced that a large part of success, or failure in work is based on an understanding of timing. Remember the old Ernest and Julio Gallo wine advertisement, "we shall sell no wine before its' time"? Their advertising promise was that they were masters of timing, which would lead to a quality product. Many times in my career I have seen great ideas go no where because they were presented at the wrong time. Sometimes these were macro-timing issues that would have to do with market influences, etc. but more often than not it was about the timing of human readiness or the lack of understanding of others. You probably already have a pretty good understanding of how timing works when you think of when is the right time to ask for that day or week off from work. In this caae, you've already thought through the bigger timing issues like who else will be on vacation or out during the same time you are requesing, what projects or priorities are on the docket, etc.. And then, you manage the timing of when to ask your boss for the time off. You probably don't ask her as she's getting out of her car rushing into the building late for a meeting with her boss, do you? (If you do, oh no!) Someone else said it plainly, "timing is everything". As you think through what is on your plate today and what requests, projects, and tasks that you have in front of you, take a deep breath, pray for wisdom, and then reflect on the timing of what you need to do and how it relates to others around you. Today might not be the day, tomorrow might be better. Pray that God puts you in the right place at the right time today. And if He does, make the most of it and don't forget to give Him the thanks for making it all work out.

[Asasehene, Upper Manya Krobo, Ghana] —The road to this project has been exciting! Our team members, coming from various airports around the country, arrived safely at New York's JFK airport on Friday expecting to make our way to our gate for our international flight to Ghana. This nearly happened as expected. When I attempted to check in, I discovered that I did not have the credit card with which I had paid for my ticket, and wow did this create havoc. As an added layer of security (for my protection) Delta has now decided that you must show the used credit card as identification — although I had my passport and other travel documents, not even the senior-most executive at Delta Airlines would do anything to help me … or so it seemed. I did discover that I could ask my wife to travel to the nearest Delta agent in any airport, show them the credit card and they would insert it into my travel record whereby I would be issued a boarding pass in New York. Suffice it to say that after some travel by my sweet wife along with the help of a Delta agent in Charleston, SC, numerous phone calls, and the grace of God I was given my boarding pass and joined my colleagues for what was an uneventful overnight flight to Accra. Getting through the airport was fairly painless, but once outside we discovered that our pick-up team had yet to arrive. After another hour or so, our national director (Sammy Lartey) dispatched one of his associates to gather us into a very nice van and drive us to a local Forex bureau where we were able to exchange our US currency into local Ghanian money. Upon completing this, we ate lunch and were ready for our travel to the project site. Only one problem … we still had yet to connect with Sammy! After about another hour Sammy finally arrived to share with us that "this is going to be an excellent project" because the warfare had already started. He related how already "today" one of our Land Rovers had experienced a flat tire and upon the completion of the repair it was discovered that the starter was in need of repair also. This minor set back was just another confirmation that the project was going to be great! Our American team eventually left Accra around 6pm for our 4 hour drive down dark, dirty, and desolate roads out to the field. Ghana has been experiencing some major electrical grid problems, so much of our drive was in absolute darkness. The only lights we saw for much of the trip were those of candles or flashlight coming from the huts along the way. Regardless, we made our way to our hotel to learn that the electricity was working wonderfully in this place. Such is just another reminder of the absolute grace of God. After a decent night's sleep we are all ready to begin the work to which God has called us. Please remember to pray for us as we do church ministries this morning and three film crusades this evening.

My biggest pet peeve here is OS X's assignment of the Home and End keys to scroll to the beginning or end of a window, instead of moving the cursor to the beginning or end of the line. I suspect that the person who made this decision was a Powerbook user (Powerbooks don't have Home or End keys), perfectly content to use Command-Left and Command-Right and deciding to break convention and confuse switchers in the name of avoiding redundancy. Honorable, perhaps, but broken.

The Minster for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Charlie Flanagan, TD, has condemned the executions carried out in Indonesia yesterday. "I was saddened to hear reports that eight people were yesterday executed in Indonesia. "While I abhor the misery and suffering the drug traffickers caused, applying the death penalty to those involved will not solve this problem. It is neither right nor effective. "Our Embassy in Jakarta has been following the matter closely, and I remain in close touch with our Ambassador on this. "Ireland, like all our EU partners, condemns unreservedly the use of the death penalty under any circumstances and we seek its universal abolition. "We have been actively lobbying against the resumption of executions in Indonesia, along with other EU Embassies in Jakarta. "The Indonesian authorities are in no doubt about Ireland's views on the death penalty, or about the seriousness with which we consider this matter. Ireland has strongly supported the abolition of the death penalty both at EU and UN levels. We believe that its abolition contributes to the enhancement of human dignity and the progressive development of human rights. Ireland played an active role in the adoption of the revised EU Guidelines on the Death Penalty during our Presidency of the European Council in 2013. These guidelines provide EU officials with an overview of the legal and policy framework with which the death penalty is addressed. Ireland also strongly supports and co-sponsors the EU-led resolution entitled "Moratorium on the use of the Death Penalty" at the UN Third Committee. In 2014, this resolution was adopted with 117 votes in favour, the highest number of votes it has ever received. The resolution calls for a moratorium on executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty.

The construction and building industry are the major use of lime products: in 1994, for example, it used 36% of the 19 million tonnes of lime sold in the European Union, compared with 38% used in iron and steelmaking. In the drying, improvement and stabilisation of soils to provide a platform for heavy construction (as explained below). As a binder in the productions of bricks, aircrete, fire resistant board and concrete. Overall the use of lime provides numerous environmental benefits, as well as a superior aesthetic appeal to that of normal cheaper materials. Although widely known as Soil Stabilisation, there are a number of distinct processes which can be carried out by the addition of quicklime to waterlogged, clay bearing or contaminated land. Improvement is the first process step, which is the drying out of water bearing material by the heat generating reaction with quicklime, this also converts some of the free water to hydrated lime. Using this process, it is possible to convert an unworkable site into a solid working platform providing a base for construction development, or alternatively as a potential area for agricultural use. Find out more in the technical section. Hydrated lime can be used as an additive to hot mix asphalt used for road surfacing. The addition of lime increases the resistance of the asphalt to water stripping, allowing it to maintain strength and provide good resistance to heavy stress i.e. for road surfaces prone to regular traffic or congestion. Lime also acts as a mineral filler which increases the viscosity of the binder, increasing the stiffness, tensile strength, compressive strength and resistance to water stripping. It confers the healing of cracks, which reduce the strength of the masonry unit and increase water penetration. Mortars containing lime absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which dissolves within any water present in the mortar, and reacts with the lime to produce carbonate crystals. These crystals form in available spaces such as cracks and grow, thereby sealing the cracks. This 'self healing' characteristic reduces water penetration and increases durability. Mortar is essential in the construction industry, without it we would have nothing to hold the bricks together that form our houses, offices and other buildings. The high water-retentivity of lime based plasters, coupled with their high workability, ensures a good bond to the background material. The ability of lime to promote the healing of cracks helps to ensure its durability by reducing water penetration. Lime concrete or "limecrete" is made by mixing controlled amounts of sand, aggregate, binder and water. Portland Cement is normally used as the binder, although nowadays hydraulic lime or hydrated lime can also be used. This type of concrete is used all over the world, including almost every type of transport surface from roads, runways, bus and rail tracks to the construction of buildings and even large dams. Limewash is also widely used in agricultural buildings due to its germicidal qualities coupled with its extreme ease of application and low cost. Buildings pre 1900 would not have been built with cement but with a lime mortar. Therefore in order to conserve these buildings it is essential to use similar materials when doing so. To introduce cement or cementitious mortar would cause decaying due to the difference in chemical composition of cement and inevitably result in irreversible damage. Hydraulic lime mortars, hydraulic lime plasters and renders and lime putty are therefore all used for the restoration of the UK and the majority of Europe's built heritage. The restoration of these buildings is often important for surrounding communities, providing them with lasting historical and cultural heritage, prolonging the buildings use as a tourist attraction, and often even increasing the aesthetic appeal of the local area. Hydrated lime is widely used in the production of oil additives for lubricants specifically sulphonates, phenates and salicylates. The oil additives are used as detergents and improve the life of engines in cars, ships and other vehicles.

Facebook said Wednesday that it will begin banning posts, photos and other content that reference white nationalism and white separatism, revising its rules in response to criticism that a loophole had allowed racism to thrive on its platform. Previously, Facebook had prohibited users from sharing messages that glorified white supremacy — a rhetorical discrepancy in the eyes of civil rights advocates who argued that white nationalism, supremacy and separatism are indistinguishable and that the policy undermined the tech giant's stepped-up efforts to combat hate speech online. Facebook now agrees with that analysis. In a blog post announcing the ban on "praise, support and representation of white nationalism and separatism," the company said, "It's clear that these concepts are deeply linked to organized hate groups and have no place on our services." The new policy also applies to Instagram. The rise and spread of white nationalism on Facebook were thrown into sharp relief in the wake of the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017, when self-avowed white nationalists used the social networking site as an organizing tool. The following year, Motherboard, a tech publication owned by Vice, obtained internal documents meant for training and guiding content reviewers that revealed Facebook treated the terms differently: The materials showed that Facebook permitted "praise, support and representation" of white nationalism and white separatism "as an ideology." The policy drew sharp rebukes from civil rights advocates, who have argued for years that the terms are interchangeable. Facebook's decision comes one week after the company made another announcement to appeal to long-standing complaints from civil rights advocates: The company prohibited advertisers from excluding minorities and other protected groups from ads for housing, employment and credit. But conversations over the past three months with civil rights groups and academics led Facebook to rethink its practices, executives wrote. As part of the dialogue, the company reviewed a list of figures and organizations and found overlap between white nationalism, separatism and supremacy. Civil rights groups applauded the move. "There is no defensible distinction that can be drawn between white supremacy, white nationalism or white separatism in society today," Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said Wednesday in a statement. The organization had pushed Facebook for months to change its policies, pointing to pages such as "It's okay to be white," which has more than 18,000 followers and has regularly defended white nationalism. Another, called "American White History Month 2," often posted white-supremacist memes, according to the Lawyers' Committee. A cached version of the page from late February showed it had more than 258,000 followers before it went offline. Facebook's new policy comes as the company continues to struggle to take down other content that attacks people on the basis of their race, ethnicity, national origin and a host of other "protected characteristics." Between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30, 2018, Facebook took action against 8 million pieces of content that violated its rules on hate speech, according to its latest transparency report. Facebook is not legally required to remove this content, but its rules prohibit it. To help enforce its policies, Facebook has developed and deployed artificial-intelligence tools that can spot and remove content even before users see it. But the technology isn't perfect, particularly when it comes to hate speech. The company removes only about 50 percent of such posts at the moment users upload them, it said last year. As a result, such content still can go viral on Facebook — a reality the company confronted this month when users continued to upload videos of the mass shooting in New Zealand that left 50 people dead. The shooter specifically sought to target Muslims, authorities said. To that end, civil rights groups said, Facebook still had considerable work to do to address the spread of hate speech on its platform. "As we have seen with tragic attacks on houses of worship in Charleston, Pittsburgh, New Zealand, and elsewhere, there are real-world consequences when social media networks provide platforms for violent white supremacists, allowing them to incubate, organize, and recruit new followers to their hateful movements," Clarke said.

This month sees the introduction in the US of the sleek new packaging for Rhum Clément VSOP and Clément Créole Shrubb, an 80 proof rum-based liqueur. This follows the successful European roll-out of the redesign, which saw sales of the award-winning aged rum jump 40 per cent. The new packaging, the company says, "presents a modern outlook while maintaining a strong sense of the brand's 120-year-old history and heritage". The original Rhum Clément bottle was most recognised for its towering cylindrical shape and hand-tied raffia detail (below) . The new bottle, with its shorter silhouette, has a fashionable perfume-like look and is cork-finished. There are no plans to make design changes to the other bottles in the portfolio.

After having conducted maintenance civil works on the northern route to access Vikingo site, a location heavily affected by loadtrucks driving in during the rainy season, Interoil is pleased to announce the reopening of Vikingo's production since last Friday at 1800hs. In the meantime, Interoil has also closed the execution of agreements with the land owners of the area whereby the company has been granted with the right to use this alternative route of access to Vikingo site. As a result, Vikingo's operation will now benefit from the establishment of an alternative route that shall improve access conditions and stability of operations. The company shall also be benefitted with a reliable export alternative thanks to the pipeline transportation agreement entered into with Perenco allowing Vikingo's production being piped from Oropendola Field, a production facility operated by Perenco just 15 km to the east from Vikingo's site, to Coveñas, an export terminal located in the Caribbean Sea. This new export route improves Interoil's operating netback and the conditions for a continous dilivery of Vikingo's production mitigating an adverse effect of possible third party disruptions. Leandro Carbone, CEO, commented: "We are very enthusiastic both with the progress made by having the "Northern Route" operational faster than expected and with the synergies found after combining field export facilities with Perenco. These will benefit Vikingo's operation as well as the commercial activity of the nearby natives' communities by having an alternative access route to the previously one used through the Duya's territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Interoil keeps a fluent and constructive interaction with the Duya community aimed at minimizing undue disruptions and streamlining safety activities."

The fifteenth edition of the "Agricultural Outlook" jointly published on June 17 by the OECD1 and the FAO2predicts that agricultural commodity prices should remain stable during the next ten years, despite the significant impact of the economic downturn. Some crops, such as grains, should increase by 10 to 20 percent in real terms (corrected for inflation) over the average recorded during the period 1997-2006. The price rise is likely to reach 30 percent for vegetable oils. Three factors are mentioned to drive this medium-term price development: the prospect of an economic recovery, the growth of food demand from developing countries and the opening of emerging biofuel markets. However, the report believes that outbreaks of extreme price volatility––such as the 2008 price hikes––cannot be ruled out. But such price volatility is not necessarily denounced, since the report considers it depends more on situational than structural factors. In fact, the authors argue that agricultural price volatility is contingent upon oil and energy costs as well as the escalation of unstable weather conditions. This analysis leads the OECD report to become fixed in an exogenous perception of volatility that is currently overly questioned by experts. The workshop organized by momagri on June 4 and 5, confirmed a rising consensus among economists to recognize that the volatility of agricultural commodity prices was first and foremost tied to endogenous causes 3. Because of such viewpoint, the latest OECD report, which wants to appear optimistic, is based on very questionable foundations… Indeed, it omits the main factors for destabilized agricultural markets: price hyper-volatility and the aggravating role of unfettered trade liberalization, as underlined by a now increasing number of experts, among whom David Dawe, FAO Senior Economist. One should therefore take the OECD conclusions with utmost reservations, since they distort reality and do not give a reliable decision framework.

If Buddhism touts itself as the national religion of Sri Lanka, why do I observe so few vestiges of it in Vavuniya? While I knew that Buddhism dominated this island, I did not realize that the stronghold was mostly contained in the Sinhalese regions of the nation. The civil government promotes Buddhism, and Buddhist monks ensure high visibility for their religion. But Parthee interacts very infrequently with Buddhists, and feels little threat from them, because that religion exerts minimal influence in the Tamil sections of Sri Lanka. The Buddhists also use the Sinhalese language (and Parthee's Sinhalese is limited, especially his religious vocabulary). The heavyweight title among pagan religions in the northern environs goes to Hinduism. So please take all that I wrote about Hinduism in India and cut and paste that into your mental image of Vavuniya and all parts north and east in Sri Lanka. Within the Christian religion, the Charismatics take the cake nation-wide. At this stage in the trip, the compounded exhaustion begins to take its toll. We are drained. In the words of George Whitefield, "I am weary in the work but not weary of the work." Today was brimming with activity. Randy conducted three hours of instruction last night, and I taught for four hours this morning. After all of the travel, we ended up with less than 30 minutes before being whisked off to a sporting event organized by Reformed Christians. Large numbers of Hindus attended the event, and we were presented as special guests. At one point in the ceremony I was called upon to bring greetings and deliver a few brief words. We have returned home and await supper, which is usually served between 8:30-9:30 p.m. Tomorrow brings another blessed Lord's Day. I am slated to preach in both the morning and evening services, with Parthee serving as interpreter. Conducting a Free Church worship service, albeit in Tamil, will be reminiscent of home, and, honestly, it only intensifies the longing to be back. I am now beyond eager with three days and counting remaining. Nevertheless, I hope and pray to give my strength to serving the Lord and his people with an full heart, acutely aware that tomorrow officially concludes my labor in this wonderful country. We will certainly be remembering you before the throne of grace, seeking his divine presence and blessing on the public assembly back home. On Monday morning we set our faces like a flint for home. The first stage in our long journey commences with boarding a train at 5:30 a.m., which will haul us back down to the capital, Colombo. Lord willing, I'll fire off another post Monday morning with further details of what follows.

Free posters really appeal to the younger generation of consumers. What could be a better draw for younger customers than a printed image of one of their favorite celebrities or movie characters? Many online businesses are discovering the ways in which posters can increase the number of visitors to their sites each day. Marketing on the Internet is a very powerful tool, one that is used by many different kinds of companies. Not only are free posters a great feature to have on one's site, they can be manipulated in different ways for optimal marketing success. People these days seem to want everything right away, and posters that are not mailed but rather offered for download present a tech-friendly alternative to the postal service. Free posters are used in many business sectors, from DVD rentals to education. DVD posters function as great teasers for that movie that everyone wants to see. Educational outlets, meanwhile, offer samples of their informative posters to any teacher with access to the Internet. Posters are used by direct-response advertising agencies to furnish additional customers for online retailers. These posters are just part of a comprehensive overall plan for attracting visitors to online sites. The fees for such services are very reasonable, and the advertisements can pay for themselves many times over.

Next to her touring schedule as a member of Pinegrove, Nandi Rose Plunkett writes, records and performs under the name Half Waif.

The Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona (MWC), which wrapped up earlier this month, was immense. With over eight zones, the world's leading tech brands showcased their new products and services alongside a full conference program. MWC is one of the clearest examples of the recent rapid advancement in technology fuelled by the significant increases in computational power and data collection. While only some of us operate within the tech sector, it is vital that all insight professionals stay aware and adapt to the latest technological developments. 1. virtual reality is mainstream. Whether being used to showcase gaming, healthcare or manufacturing solutions, VR was everywhere at MWC – it is no longer an emerging technology. One reason for this is that the processing power of mobile devices is rapidly increasing, making VR more accessible and affordable. It's time for our industry to start applying VR in more research scenarios. This should in theory get easier as many of our clients are using VR internally in other divisions of their business. To help better the research process and get closer to reality, we should start conversations with our clients about the possibility of leveraging their internal VR design assets. 2. artificial intelligence and machine learning are being commoditized. AI and machine learning are no longer buzzwords. Whichever direction you turned at MWC, you could not escape them. The hype has evolved into concrete examples of how AI and machine learning are being successfully applied to enhance products, services and business strategy. And there are signs that elements of AI and machine learning are now becoming commoditized. The barrier to entry is becoming lower. And at the MRS Data Analytics Conference in February I was excited to see several examples of how machine learning is being applied to better tackle traditional research objectives. As an industry we should endeavor to learn more about AI and machine learning and how they can be positively applied to the insight process. 3. geo data is a powerful insight source. It was no surprise to see location data taking center stage at a mobile-first conference. Telecom companies are swimming in location data and are successfully leveraging and monetizing it. Major telecom companies sell this data to a range of interested parties including city planners designing smarter cities or retail brands who want to know more about the movements of their potential customers. For researchers, understanding the movement and behavior of consumers is almost impossible through retrospective interviews. Passive location data, which is being recorded more frequently than ever, offers the best avenue to truly understand customer movements and behavior. Insight professionals should ask clients to share their geo data and use this to more accurately understand the customer journey. 4. voice has the potential to transform how people interact with devices. One of the highly visible tech trends at MWC was voice-assistance technology. Smart speakers are already mainstream but voice-assistance technology is on course to becoming embedded in all devices, from cars to refrigerators and TVs. This rapid rise is being fueled by significantly better machine-learning algorithms, including voice recognition and natural language processing. And many experts are predicting that voice will become the primary computing platform. If this is true, how will this impact the insight industry? Already we are using text analytics to mine transcribed voice recordings but what about traditional surveying? How will surveys look (or sound) in the future? 5. connected devices allow brands to know the what, but not the why. It is predicted that there will be around 31 billion connected devices by the year 2020. The Internet of Things allows for connected devices of all kinds to collect data about the user experience and behavior. This data is increasingly being fed back into businesses to better understand customers. To some extent, this threatens traditional quantitative research – asking consumers what they did or how they used something may well become a thing of the past. Researchers will still play a vital role in understanding the why behind this behavior. While the role of qualitative research in this process is clearer, for quant researchers specifically the challenge will be about data integration of behavioral and survey data. This combination of what and why will allow us to paint the most accurate human truths. 6. the future is not as far away as you think. Detailed discussions around autonomous vehicles, robotic assistants and smart cities at MWC make you realize that the future is not as far away as you might think. Such is the innovation curve; tech companies think five-to-10 years ahead to stay relevant. As an industry, we should be challenging our clients to think further into the future – or risk getting left behind. It is one of research's greatest challenges: getting participants to think about a future that doesn't yet exist. How can we best understand consumer perceptions of autonomous vehicles, for example, if they can't imagine what the experience will be like? We must find innovative ways to facilitate this future-thinking insight exploration, whether through VR or other immersion techniques. Research agencies that help clients see clearly into the future and stay ahead of the latest innovation will be the ones that succeed.

Train yourself. I know that Kilimanjaro is measured a hiking peak, as well as you do not require several technical preparation to complete this trek, other than that does not mean that you do not necessitate any preparation. Kilimanjaro is a peak that is easy to get to for most sensibly fit persons. In my opinion, I would have used up at least four days a week moreover on foot up hill on a treadmill backpack on my back. In any condition you do not have right of entry to mountains or else hills to train on, you can also use additional weight to your backpack plus only do extra walks on the treadmill in the fitness center. Mentally Prepare. Depending on your point of ease with the in the open air, you could require to get ready yourself for living on the mountain. Happily, I am a fan of the out-of-doors plus extremely relaxed with the mountain life, as well as camping, bugs, dirt, baby wipe showers, as well as going the toilet outdoors. Every lodging on our Kilimanjaro tours is camping, with sleep is vital when you are on the mountain. Clearly, showers are missing on the mountain, as a result the only method to stay you clean is to utilize baby wipes plus a bowl of warm water every day. You do require getting ready manually for these things, as you do not desire to reach your destination on the mountain plus have greater prospect as well as be dissatisfied. Decide the correct Route for you. In Kilimanjaro officially seven routes present on the mountain, though I would simply advise three of those. The reason a lot of people decide a shorter hike on Kilimanjaro because of the expenses related among it. In support of each additional day you spend on the mountain, the rate go up relatively a bit, on the other hand, when you are signing up to a journey similar to this, in my brain, I would like to do the whole thing possible to be winning plus completely get pleasure from my time on the mountain. If you do not arrive at your aim for the reason that you required to put aside a couple hundred dollars plus merely do a six day tour, it will price you a lot extra to come back to Tanzania to try again. thus, in my belief, get the 7 or 8 day tour up also the Lemosho Glades or Machame Route.

This activity is a follow up to the two previous activities organized by GGGI Rwanda in strengthening the capacity of the NDA. Earlier this year, GGGI delivered a workshop for Mainstreaming Green City Development in the National Designated Authority (NDA) Resource Mobilization from Green Climate Fund (GCF) addressed to NDA and NCT members and representatives from ministries and agencies with high impact in the development of urban areas. Prior the mission to Nyagatare, GGGI invited the planning contractor to describe to the NDA and NCT members the Secondary Cities Master Plan revision process. This meeting enabled the NDA and NCT members to oversee the elaboration and implementation of the Master Plans and ensure the new Master Plans incorporate low emission and resilience strategies for a green city development. The stakeholder consultation was convened for the Rwanda Housing Authority and the planning contactor to present and validate the new conceptual City Development Plan. The mission of the NDA and NCT's members was to ensure the monitoring process of the Master Plan revision process and one of the activities aimed at increasing the capacity of the NDA and NCT members in Green City Development for further resource mobilization from GCF and other climate finance opportunities. The Government of Rwanda (GoR) through the Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA), Rwanda Housing Authority (RHA) and in collaboration with the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is supporting the Secondary Cities in the review of their Master Plans with the overarching goal of supporting their development as Green Cities. GGGI's role in supporting the government stakeholders to achieve this initiative falls under the Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The outcomes of the programme will provide the GoR and Nyagatare secondary city, with clear tools and strategies enabling it to operationalize the National Roadmap for Green Secondary Cities Development, implementation of the National Urbanization policy; as part of the implementation of NDCs, focusing on both climate change mitigation and adaptation outcomes. GGGI, as GCF delivery partner, is supporting the National Designated Authority (NDA) and the National Coordination Team (NCT) to oversee the elaboration and implementation of these Master Plans and the consequent green investment opportunities that arise. A major component of this support is the monitoring process of the Master Plan revision process of the secondary cities. The National Designed Authorities (NDA) is the government institution that serve as the interface between each country and the Green Climate Fund (GCF), in Rwanda the NDA is Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA). The NDA provides strategic oversight of the GCF's related activities in the country and communicate the country's priorities for financing low-emission and climate-resilient development. In support of project evaluation for the release of no-objection letter from the NDA, an inter-ministerial team was set up. The National Coordination Team (NCT) is composed by representatives of Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN) who is the chair of the NCT, the Private Sector Federation (PSF) who is the co-chair of the NCT, and permanent members such as representatives of the Ministry of Environment, who is the only GCF National Accredited Entity (AE) and representatives from other miniseries and government agencies. The NDA capacity is strengthened in Green City Development as part of the GGGI support in delivering GCF Readiness and Preparatory support. For this purpose, the NDA and NCT members have been closely following up with the Master Plan revision process to ensure that Rwanda`s secondary cities are following a low emission development path supporting the country in meeting their NDCs. In addition, two of the NDA officers and one AE officer are supported by GGGI Rwanda for undertaking a GCF proposal writing training, with the revised master plans to provide indication on the priority strategies to be implemented in line with the GCF focus areas to ensure eligibility for climate finance.

Remember the energetic number Zingaat in the Marathi blockbuster Sairat, which saw audiences swinging to the beats of the number in theatres? The number had become such a rage after the release of the film that exhibitors screening Sairat faced a big challenge controlling young boys and girls who would gyrate to the beats of the number in front of the screen. Now producer Karan Johar and director Shashank Khaitan are said to have recreated the same number composed by Ajay-Atul for Dhadak-the much-talked about remake of Sairat. Reportedly while the lyrics and the name of the song have been changed, the original score is very much the same. More interestingly the makers have roped in ace choreographer Farah Khan to take the song to another level. Farah is said to have finished picturising the song recently and sources reveal that it would be one of the big highlights of Dhadak. It may be recalled that the remake of Sairat has been making headlines ever since its launch. The film has also been in the news for the sizzling chemistry between debutante star-kids Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar, who seem perfect for the intense romance. Dhadak is being lined for a 20th July 2018 release.

BRONX, N.Y. - April 15, 2019 - PRLog -- I speak with wifiblast shoppers in Virginia and Maryland, as well as across the country. One of the questions I'm most often confronted with: How reliable is this product? This is certainly an important question to ask. WiFiBlast Range Extender improves coverage and works with your home WiFi to create a powerful WiFi System. Easily connect all your smart home devices to one network,. The decision needs to be correct the first time, as there is no turning back. How do I choose the right wifi range extender for my family? While Netgear has claimed the top spot for the past five years, change is afoot for 2019. WiFiBlast International, last year's third-place wifi range extender, unseated the reigning champion as well as other list stalwarts like D-Link Corporation a Taiwanese multinational networking equipment manufacturing corporation headquartered in Taipei which did not make last year's top 10, earned the number four spot thanks to its D-Link Wireless N 300 Mbps Compact Wi-Fi Range Extender (DAP 1320). The WiFiBlasts wifi range extender is the best wifiblast. It comes in black or white, and it improves wireless coverage in all WLAN networks WLAN 802.11n for wireless high-speed access and supports 2.4GHz WLAN networks. The Wifi repeater effectively doubles the coverage area of your existing Wifi network, extend your network to the far end of your home or office, you just need to place it half way between the computers and router. Who are the wifiblasts's main users, and how often will they likely use the wifiblast? This is one of the most important questions you can ask. I've had dads with 1 or 2 kids tell me, "I want to increase WiFi coverage in my home." Naturally, my next question is: "Why?" I'm not implying that increasing wifi range around your home are bad. I just want people to think about why they choose what they choose when it comes to their wifi range extender needs. The fact is that although kids might say they want a faster network, most of them will end up using a 175Mbps for HD video streaming and gaming experiences as much as they would use a 300Mbps Wifi Range Extender. Kids just want to play their favorite Fortnite game, and no child EVER want to quit playing due to poor network connections or deadspots. They will snap, hit the computer in rage if that ever happens. How to Find, Fix, and Avoid Wi-Fi Deadspots? Put simply, a deadspot is an area in your home that should be covered by Wi-Fi, but isn't. Maybe your Netflix or Hulu cuts out when bringing your laptop to the bedroom, maybe your favorite bands go silent when busting out sweet dance moves in the shower (we won't tell). Dead zones are easily one of the most annoying Wi-Fi problems. Don't panic — there is hope. You can avoid, find and fix pesky dead zones with these simple steps. Buy Wifiblast Range Extender 50% Off. It is easy to install. By this point, dead zones will be a thing of the past and you can continue binge-watching or impromptu shower-dancing. If you've given it your all and still have a problem, contact your internet service provider for a direct consultation.

Statement of H.E. Archbishop Bernardito AuzaPermanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nationsat the Second Committee of the 69th Session of the United Nations General Assembly Agenda Item 25: Agriculture development, food security and nutritionNew York, October 28, 2014Mr. Chair,Coming together to discuss Agriculture development, food security and nutrition is not and should not become a routine annual exercise. Rather, it must be an occasion for us to echo the cry of the hundreds of millions of people throughout the world who suffer from chronic hunger and food insecurity. It should also remind us of the paradox that while so many die of hunger, an enormous quantity of food is wasted every day.According to the Secretary General's report on Agriculture Development, Food Security and Nutrition (A/69/279), since 1990 there has been a 17% decrease in the number of people suffering from chronic hunger. While this fall indicates a measure of effectiveness of the efforts over more than two decades in reducing chronic hunger, it also means that we still have almost 850 million people suffering from acute hunger. The number is already shocking in itself, but what must shock us even more is the fact that behind those numbers are real people, with their fundamental dignity and rights. Thus, eradicating hunger is not only a high priority development goal; it is a moral imperative.Yet it is not for lack of food in the world that they suffer acute hunger, because the current levels of world food production are sufficient to feed everyone. The problem lies elsewhere, such as in the lack of conservation technologies among smallholder producers, in weak or absent government support to incentivize the commercialization of products, or in the lack of infrastructure for better food distribution and marketing. Sadder still, this paradox is also due to a throwaway culture in affluent societies, to deliberate large-scale destruction of food products to keep prices and profit margins high, as well as to other policies that override the common objective of food security for all. The human and socio-economic costs of hunger and malnutrition are enormous. There should be no priority greater than this, as food and nutrition underpin all else, be it health, education, the maintenance of peace or the enjoyment of rights. As we renew our efforts to eliminate hunger and malnutrition in the world, the whole "United Nations Family" must then embrace it, putting it at the forefront of its collective efforts. It is for this reason that the Holy See welcomes the incorporation of food security, nutrition, and sustainable agriculture as components of the sustainable development goals and their inclusion within the post-2015 Development Agenda. It is also along this line that the Holy See welcomes the focus that the report of the Secretary General on Agriculture Development, Food Security and Nutrition (A/69/279) puts on those regions of the world where hunger and malnutrition are still at unacceptable levels. The Holy See also appreciates the report's focus on groups most vulnerable to malnutrition, like pregnant women and children below five years old. Chronic malnutrition and under-nutrition continue to affect too many of the world's children. Indeed, each year 51 million children under five years old waste away due to malnutrition, of whom close to seven million die. The Secretary General's report thus alerts us to the enormous challenges that lie ahead.Mr. Chair,The theme of this year's World Food Day, Family Farming: feeding the world, caring for the earth, tells us that the family is key in the fight to end hunger. It plays a central role in reaching the sustainable future we want. It is a key component of the food systems we need to lead healthier lives. Its on-the-ground presence makes it a privileged agent for promoting a healthy environment for present and future generations. This recognition of the role of the family must be accompanied with policies and initiatives that really respond to the needs of farming families and communities.Mr. Chair,In closing, let me draw your attention to next month's international conference on nutrition in Rome. It aims to bring together government leaders, other top-level policymakers and representatives of intergovernmental organizations and civil society, to take stock of progress made in improving nutrition and to seek new ways to boost national and global efforts to improve health. Pope Francis plans to address the conference to express his commitment to the future we want, a future that starts by our common resolve to ensure that no one goes to bed hungry. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Happy New Year Downey! I hope all of you had a wonderful time with your family during the holidays, 2019 promises to be great one for our city. There are many projects planned to better our city and our quality of life. One of my initiatives is to bring back the Downey Business Watch Program. During my tenure as President of the Downey Chamber of Commerce, this program was in place and active in the community. Now as Mayor, I want our business community to once again work together with our Police Department and the Downey Chamber to help prevent and reduce crimes. Through this collaboration, quarterly Business Watch Seminars will be held in the City Council Chambers. These seminars are scheduled for April 11th, July 11th, and October 10thfrom 9:00 am to 10:00 am. I invite you to complete the Crime Prevention Survey available on the City's website where you may share your input on which future topics you would like to see discussed at meetings. The first meeting was held January 10, 2019 at the Downey Library, Cormack Room and was a great success. One of my passions as a father and resident of Downey is to help people. Volunteering not only helps those in need but gives the volunteer a personal sense of accomplishment, it shows commitment to the community and a willingness to work for the betterment of others. Luckily in our city we have numerous local organizations that help people every day with free meals, clothes and even free furniture. But we need your help. Many organizations are in continuous need of volunteers and supplies. The second week of April is Volunteer Week. Downey will host a Volunteer Fair where local volunteer organizations can gather with information on how residents can help. There will be food trucks as well as free children activities. More information will be available on our website and social media sites as we get closer to the final date. Our city is filled with unsung heroes, people that do great deeds and never ask or receive recognition. This year I would like to change that. These folks are a large reason of what makes our City great and they are some of Downey's Finest. I would like to hear your story of how someone has helped you. Your experience may have been with city staff, police officers, firemen, or just someone you may know who lives or works in Downey. Unsung heroes are extraordinary everyday people who do the right thing and are committed to excellence in their work, all while being humble of their everyday contributions. It's time we give Downey's Finest the recognition they deserve. Please email me at [email protected] with your story. We will recognize the individual at a future city council meeting with a certificate and city coin. I am looking forward to reading these stories. I invite you to attend our upcoming Clergy Council meeting on Monday, February 11thin the Downey Library Cormack Room at 6:00 pm. The Clergy Council is a collaboration of residents, clergy, law enforcement and service providers working together to better our community. This is a wonderful group of people who together are shaping our community. I hope to see you there. This year is going to be amazing! Thank you for allowing me to serve you and our city.

In a sadly unusual move, the federal government shops around simplifications to important loan documents by asking the public to pick a winner from among two designs. If you've ever shopped for a home mortgage, you probably recognize — perhaps with a knot of fear in your gut — these two federally mandated pieces of paperwork: the two-page Truth in Lending disclosure, and the three-page Good Faith Estimate form. They are, despite their sweet-sounding names, daunting loan documents for consumers about to make the largest financial commitment of their lives. The government has long required banks to present these papers to potential home buyers to help them grasp the full consequences of loans and all the sneaky fees that go with them. Over the years, the forms have been studied and fought over and adjusted, rarely to the satisfaction of consumer advocates. "The mortgage paperwork battle that consumers fight is enormous," said Ed Mierzwinski, who directs the consumer program with the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. "And it's something that HUD and the Fed have been wrestling with since before I came to Washington 21 years ago now." This convoluted paperwork problem exacerbated the mortgage crisis. And now the government's new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, created in the wake of the economic meltdown, is attempting to overhaul the loan documents in a way that would dramatically simplify mortgage shopping — and that could, in the process, set a new standard for how the government designs consumer tools. The bureau has asked consumers to weigh in on a pair of designs for a revamped two-page form that would combine the Truth in Lending and Good Faith Estimate documents. As part of the "Know Before You Owe" campaign, the bureau sought online feedback on the two options (check them out here and here) through last month, and will use that American Idol-style feedback to craft improvements that will also be crowd-sourced and consumer-tested over the next 18 months. "It is true that if you give people too much information, information overload tends to serve the lender's interest more than anybody else's," said Diane Thompson, an attorney with the National Consumer Law Center. "If you have too much information, people have trouble figuring out what the right information is." Some research even suggests that the more information you give people, the more money they end up paying for credit because the process becomes confusing. A single streamlined federal document — and Thompson believes all the truly critical information could be condensed onto two pages — could take advantage of what researchers know about how consumers make decisions. Cognitively, Thompson said, a list of individual fees looks smaller to us than a single, larger number that aggregates them all. This can skew how consumers make decisions when comparing two different products. Even in a transaction as complicated as selecting a mortgage loan, most of us will also base our selection on only two or three decision points. And we're likely to focus on the factors that are most familiar to us — for instance, on the interest rate in a loan offer, and not the more comprehensive annual percentage rate that factors in all the additional fees that come with loans. "Mortgages are probably the most complicated financial transaction that most of us experience in our lives," Thompson said, "and most of us don't do it very often, so we don't have a chance to get good at it." A well-designed document that reflects research on how consumers think, and how best to help them make a good decision, could go part of the way toward addressing that. Studies of the years leading up to the mortgage crash, for instance, suggest that more than half of the consumers who received subprime loans should have qualified for better ones that lenders failed to mention. "If those consumers had had better information, they might have been able to compare loans," Mierzwinski said. The public process the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is using to now design that information represents a significant break in how government typically shapes such regulation. "The first thing they always do is talk to the industry lawyers, and that tends to warp their thinking," Mierzwinski said. "They worry about compliance, not clarity. They worry about bank concerns rather than consumer concerns. And because they're in rooms with lawyers every day of their lives, they don't think like consumers." This campaign suggests, Mierzwinski said, that the bureau has new ideas — "and the new ideas don't just extend to fixing forms, they extend to fixing government." The central idea here doesn't sound all that radical — asking the public to compare two documents and pick the one that's easier to understand. But in all the years of wrangling with mortgage disclosure, its one idea the government hasn't tried. "One of the reasons this reform has been so long in coming, and so hard to do, is because mortgage products have become so complicated because no one understands them," Thompson said. "We've found that we are suffering a global economic collapse because mortgage products got so complicated that not even sophisticated financial markets correctly priced the risk associated with them." Backers of a move to add utility bills into home-loan considerations say it will boost energy conservation and create lots of jobs that can't be exported. An inexpensive part of the federal effort to dig America out of the subprime crisis appears to have promise. What Would Horatio Alger Do? Thousands of Americans are defying eviction notices and exercising civil disobedience. In a follow-up to a story we published in March, our featured homeowner still lives defiantly without payments or eviction for more than a year.
