Fox Chase Cancer Center's Michael H. Levy, MD, PhD, Receives American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine's Lifetime Achievement Award
PHILADELPHIA (February 27, 2015)—Michael H. Levy, MD, PhD, Director of the Pain and Palliative Care Program at Fox Chase Cancer Center and one of the founding leaders of the American hospice and palliative care movement, has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) – a professional organization made up of 5,000 physicians, nurses and other healthcare providers, dedicated to advancing hospice and palliative medicine and improving the care of patients with life-threatening or serious conditions.
The AAHPM Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes outstanding contributions and significant publications that have helped shape the direction of the field of hospice and palliative medicine. Dr. Levy received the award on Friday, February 27 during the AAHPM and Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association Annual Assembly in Philadelphia.
"I've dedicated 35 years to integrating hospice and palliative medicine into comprehensive cancer care, so this recognition is a great honor," says Dr. Levy. "My goal has been, and still is, to carry the message that hospice and palliative care are the completion, not the antithesis, of state-of-the-art cancer care."
Dr. Levy, who spent his entire career on the palliative-curative interface and has advanced its art and science, first became interested in end-of-life care as a medical student in 1972. He served as Jefferson Medical College's representative to a death and dying sensitivity and education group called Ars Moriendi, whose members helped import hospice care into North America and became the pioneers of the American hospice movement. Dr. Levy also taught the school's first death and dying class. He served on the Ars Moriendi Executive Committee for four years, using it as his clinical thread to patient care while working on his PhD research.
Throughout his internal medicine residency and his medical oncology fellowship, Dr. Levy continued to learn and teach hospice principles and practice, empowered by his connection with Ars Moriendi and its successor, the International Working Group for Death, Dying and Bereavement. It was during his medical oncology fellowship training that Dr. Levy decided he wanted to be a medical oncologist who specialized in hospice.
In the absence of established hospice medical training programs in this country, Dr. Levy sought training at St. Christopher's Hospice in London and the Palliative Care Service at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. In 1981, he was hired by Fox Chase Cancer Center to work as a medical oncologist and develop the Pain and Palliative Care Program – which he still directs.
The program provides palliative care in both the inpatient and ambulatory care settings and is integrated into the training of Temple University Health System/Fox Chase medical oncology fellows and internal medicine residents and students.
In 1983, Dr. Levy was elected to the Board of Directors of the National Hospice Organization and served as its Treasurer and then it's Vice Chairman. In 1990, he began his 11-year membership of the Board of Directors of the AAHPM and served as its President in 1999. He is the Chairperson of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network's Palliative Care Guideline Panel and a member of its Distress and Cancer Pain Guideline Panels. He is also a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)'s Supportive Care Guideline Advisory Group and is currently co-chairing its Chronic Pain in Cancer Survivors guideline panel.
Dr. Levy was awarded the National Hospice Organization's Person of the Year Award in 1992 and its Heart of Hospice Clinician Award in 2003. He received AAHPM's Distinguished Service Award in 2001 and ASCO's inaugural Excellence in Teaching Award in 2014.

Una baraccopoli o bidonville (dal francese bidon «bidone [della spazzatura]» e ville «città», cioè «città di bidoni, lamiere ecc.») è un insediamento urbano densamente popolato, caratterizzato da edifici fatiscenti e condizioni di vita al di sotto degli standard di benessere. Benché le baraccopoli presenti nel mondo differiscano tra loro in termini di dimensione, la maggior parte di queste non dispone di reti per la fornitura di acqua potabile e per lo smaltimento delle acque di scarico, di allacciamenti all'energia elettrica, di servizi di pubblica sicurezza ed assistenza e di condizioni igienico sanitarie soddisfacenti.

Diffusione geografica
Tipi di baraccopoli si trovano in numerose aree del mondo e le denominazioni locali sono spesso entrate nell'uso comune per indicare le baraccopoli di una determinata regione geografica. Per esempio, il portoghese favelas  si riferisce in genere alle baraccopoli brasiliane, bairro da lata o barriadas in Perù, poblaciones callampas in Cile,  l'inglese slum viene usato tipicamente per le baraccopoli delle ex colonie britanniche (come India e Kenya); in Sudafrica si usa il termine township, e così via. Questi non sono comunque da considerarsi sinonimi, in quanto ciascuno di essi ha una diversa origine e diverse implicazioni specifiche. Alcune di queste denominazioni hanno una intrinseca connotazione dispregiativa (ad es. slum), e sono di conseguenza di uso esclusivamente informale.

Caratteristiche dello slum
Nella lingua inglese, tradizionalmente, con il termine slum2 si intendevano quelle aree residenziali che in passato erano rispettabili o persino desiderabili, ma che nel tempo sono state interessate da un degrado sociale-urbanistico, che ha comportato la migrazione della popolazione verso siti maggiormente appetibili. In seguito a tali eventi, le unità abitative sono state progressivamente suddivise e affittate a gruppi a basso reddito. Più recentemente, il significato di questo termine è venuto ad includere anche i vasti insediamenti informali che stanno rapidamente divenendo l'espressione più manifesta della povertà urbana. La qualità delle abitazioni in questi insediamenti varia da semplici baracche a strutture permanenti, mentre l'accesso all'acqua, elettricità, servizi igienici ed altre infrastrutture e servizi di base tendono ad essere limitati, se non addirittura totalmente assenti.

La vita in uno slum
Il rapporto The Challenge of Slums mostra come questi luoghi impongono ai loro abitanti la sopportazione di alcune delle più intollerabili condizioni di vita, che frequentemente includono la condivisione di bagni con centinaia di persone, la convivenza in quartieri sovraffollati ed insicuri e la costante minaccia degli sfratti. Gli abitanti di uno slum sono più soggetti a contrarre malattie dovute all'inquinamento dell'acqua, come il colera e la febbre tifoide o quelle opportunistiche che accompagnano l'AIDS. Inoltre negli slums c'è moltissima criminalità.

Sebbene gli slums non siano degli obiettivi politici desiderabili in alcuna città, nel rapporto si mostra che la loro esistenza in molte città può avere dei benefici involontari. La maggior parte degli abitanti di uno slum guadagna da vivere in attività informali ma cruciali per molte città, fornendo quindi dei servizi che non potrebbero essere facilmente disponibili dalle attività formali.

Gli slums sono in gran parte una manifestazione fisica della povertà urbana, un fatto questo che, secondo il rapporto, non è sempre stato ben riconosciuto dalle passate linee di condotta rivolte esclusivamente o all'estirpazione fisica o all'ammodernamento delle abitazioni. Per questa ragione le future azioni devono andare, secondo il rapporto, oltre la dimensione fisica dello slum, rivolgendosi ai problemi che sono alla base della povertà urbana.

Le tradizionali linee di condotta per gli slums dovrebbero essere perciò integrate con altre più ampie di riduzione della povertà urbana focalizzate sulle persone, che affrontino i vari aspetti della povertà, includendo occupazione, redditi, ricovero, cibo, salute, istruzione, e l'accesso alle infrastrutture e i servizi urbani di base: fornitura di acqua e di servizi igienici, elettricità, strade d'accesso, gestione dei rifiuti.

L'efficacia di queste linee di azione può essere migliorata attraverso un pieno coinvolgimento dei poveri delle città e di quelle persone tradizionalmente responsabili per la fornitura di alloggi in quelle aree.

Chi è l'abitante di uno slum
Allo scopo di monitorare adeguatamente il settimo degli Obiettivi del Millennio per lo sviluppo (Millennium Development Goals o MDG) la UN-HABITAT ha sviluppato, nel 2002, una definizione operativa per l'unità familiare di uno slum. Essa è definita come un gruppo di individui i quali, vivendo sotto lo stesso tetto, mancano di uno o più dei seguenti elementi:
 accesso all'acqua (accesso ad una quantità sufficiente di acqua potabile per l'uso familiare, ad un prezzo sostenibile, disponibile per i membri della famiglia senza che siano soggetti a sforzi estremi);
 accesso a servizi igienici (accesso ad un sistema di eliminazione degli escrementi, o nella forma di bagno privato o di bagno pubblico condiviso con un numero ragionevole di persone);
 spazio vitale sufficiente (meno di tre persone per stanza di un minimo di 4 metri quadri);
 qualità/durata delle abitazioni (strutture adeguate e permanenti edificate in luoghi non pericolosi);
 garanzie del possesso (esistenza di documentazioni attestanti la garanzia dello stato di possesso o la percezione o l'esistenza di fatto di una protezione contro gli sfratti).

Questa definizione è operativa nel senso che può essere applicata per estrapolare informazioni utili dai dati raccolti periodicamente a livello nazionale o sub-nazionale nella maggior parte dei paesi attraverso censimenti ed indagini. Nella definizione, perciò, il concetto di abitante di uno slum è stato esplicitamente ridotto, mettendo da parte le condizioni socio-economiche in cui vivono questi abitanti informali, come gli standard di vita, gli aspetti culturali, l'impiego, il reddito ed altre caratteristiche relative all'individuo o alla famiglia.

OUTSPOKEN ALBERT OGILVIE OF THE APPLE ISLE
Home → Blog → OUTSPOKEN ALBERT OGILVIE OF THE APPLE ISLE
Always a progressive, two world trips convinced Tasmanian Labor Premier Mr A.G. Ogilvie that Australia was a land of 'wowsers'. He expressed his views in Sydney in 1937, after attending the coronation of George VI in London. He had called in at the harbour city on his way home to Hobart aboard the luxury liner Monterey.
Such sentiments did not go down at all well. How dare the Premier of such an insignificant little backwater suggest that Sydney of all places fitted such a description!
THROWING DOWN THE BEERS!
SYDNEY – Thursday. The Tasmanian Premier, Mr. Ogilvie, is not enamoured of the licensing laws of N.S.W. In an interview in Sydney today, he declared that Australia and its race of 'two-fisted drinkers' remained largely 'a nation of wowsers'. He added that what puzzled him was that any overseas visitor bothered to stay here at all. He said it was a disgusting spectacle to see men lined up in front of a bar, with one eye on the clock and the other on their beer mug. (North West Champion June 16 1937)
'Two-fisted drinkers' was an allusion to six o'clock closing, with hotel patrons hastily downing a beer while reaching for the next with the other hand
In another report, Ogilvie expanded on his theme. 'Australians live in a world of their own, enforcing restrictions that scarcely any other nations would tolerate, and following absurd customs for which the reasons have been forgotten if they ever existed…..In many ways we are 10 to 15 years behind the rest of the world. We seem to be deliberately making ourselves miserable.'
He talked of seeing 10 year old Parisian girls emerging from church to drink light, harmless beer at little tables while Australia was saddled with the unedifying 'six o'clock swill'.
Note the time on the clock in the following cartoon, only 40 minutes of swilling left! 😎
Even an editorial in the tabloid Truth newspaper shot the Premier down;
'Perhaps. before long, people from the mainland of Australia will be rushing to Tasmania to join in the wild night life revelry in the land of apples and potatoes. There they will find, no doubt, that no longer are Sunday afternoons 'quiet and restful' and with the big influx of tourist traffic when Mr Ogilvie brightens up the bright lights, perhaps the Apple Isle will be able to pay its way and not look to the Commonwealth Government to balance its books every year. (Truth, 15 August 1937)
PREMIER OGILVIE BRANDS MELBOURNE MORIBUND!
Next stop for Mr Ogilvie was Melbourne, and residents there were certainly not spared. Some American tourists were in town and the Tasmanian Premier wanted to know, 'What has Melbourne done for them? Ask them. Has anyone entertained them, asked them to a dance, taken any notice of them at all? Ironically, the Americans seemed quite happy. Miss Mary Zimmerman of Los Angeles said; 'My, I should say they have. I haven't been in bed once before 2 a.m.'
However, a different response was received from the assistant purser of the Monterey. who had visited Melbourne on ten occasions.
'Mr Ogilvie is right, he said today.' More night clubs, that is what you want. Smart, slickly run affairs. The kind that would make us Americans look up and whistle. The tourists think Melbourne is swell. That's because they are only here a couple of days, but become a regular visitor like me, and realise that Melbourne is the next port of call, you might as well rest your head on a pillow and sleep the time away. I can't find anything better to do, and I've looked for it.' (Advocate August 17)
As it turned out, Mr Ogilvie did not have the opportunity to turn Tasmania into another Monte Carlo. He died after suffering a heart attack on a Melbourne golf course, aged only 48. Many within his party had hoped he would enter federal politics and possibly even become Prime Minister. Wow, I can only dream of how different the stultifying nineteen forties and fifties could have been. 😍
FAREWELLED BY HUGE CROWDS
NOTE – Premier Ogilvie's first trip to Europe was in 1935. He was accompanied by his Health Minister and close friend Mr J. F.(Stymie) Gaha. Their accounts of the trip were published in 2008 by Michael Roe. The pair look like mischievous schoolboys.

Well, Mr A.G. Ogilvie sounded like a barrel of laughs – not! What did the expression 'wowsers' mean here? It doesn't seem to relate to what I think of it here in the UK.
You have to read the poem. Wowsers are miserable, anti-everything party poopers and Mr Ogilvie was the opposite. 😍

New Zealand working group reports on same-sex relationships
In 2014, the General Synod of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia passed a resolution that created a pathway towards the blessing of same-sex relationships while upholding the traditional doctrine of marriage. The motion called for the appointment of a working group to devise "a process and structure" by which this could happen – and a process and structure to ensure that clergy who believe that same-sex blessings are contrary to "scripture, doctrine, tikanga or civil law" remain fully free to dissent. The Way Forward Working Group has today [Feb. 22] released its report. It proposes two rites of blessing to be considered by this year's General Synod.
[Anglican Taonga] The long-awaited report of the Way Forward Working Group has been released.
Today's publication comes almost 18 months since the 13-member group began its work – and it proposes two new liturgies to be considered by May's General Synod.
These liturgies have been designed to allow for the blessing of couples who have been married in a civil ceremony – according either to New Zealand law, or to the law in the Pacific Island nations which form part of this church. These liturgies also create a pathway for the people in such relationships to become ordained.
Civil marriages between a man and a woman have long been recognized in law in both New Zealand and in those Pacific Island nations. In New Zealand's case, of course, an amendment to marriage law came into effect in August 2013 – which allows same-sex couples to legally marry.
"A crucial matter for debate"
The Way Forward Working Group (WFWG) report makes a precept-upon-precept case for how such civil marriages could be blessed by the church.
The Anglican Church in this province is governed by a set of documents, the most significant of which are the Church of England Empowering Act of 1928, and Te Pouhere , the Constitution of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia, which came into force in 1992.
Te Pouhere in turn specifies a number of "formularies" (such as a New Zealand Prayer Book/He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa ) which guide the Church in its worship and practice.
The new constitution also spells out a way in which formularies can be changed (or added to) –providing these changes don't, in the words of the report, "represent any departure from the Doctrine and Sacraments of Christ as defined in Te Pouhere's own Fundamental Provisions."
The rites of blessing being proposed are being presented as "additional formularies", rather than doctrinal changes:
"It is the view of the majority of the group," the report notes, "that the proposed liturgies do not represent a departure from the Doctrine and Sacraments of Christ, and are therefore not prohibited by Te Pouhere, however the group also recognizes that this will be a crucial matter for debate."
A canonical 'lacuna'
The report then goes on to consider how blessings of civil marriages relate to the question of ordination of people in same-sex relationships.
Only those people who are in "rightly-ordered relationships" can be considered for ordination.
The Way Forward group has agreed that a right-ordered relationship is "one that has been committed to God and received the blessing of the Christian Church.
This is where the group has identified a "lacuna" (a legal gap – where existing laws don't cover a situation) in the church canons.
Since the 1970s, New Zealand law has given its legal thumbs-up to civil marriages – to couples who choose to marry, without any Christian dimension to their wedding.
At the same time, there's never been any question about the church recognizing that these couples are, in fact, married – they haven't been required, for example, to have their civil marriages blessed retrospectively in order to be recognized as married.
The Way Forward Group's two proposed liturgies deal with that lacuna.
Should these rites be adopted, heterosexual couples who were married in a civil ceremony (say, on the beach at Bali) will be able to seek for their relationship to be blessed by the Church.
And the WFWG is also proposing a separate, but similar, rite of blessing for same-sex couples who have married in a civil ceremony.
"The two rites," says the report, "will be found to be largely similar. It is necessary to present both… to allow for the possibility of any diocese or amorangi choosing to adopt the rite of blessing for opposite-sex couples only."
Extending the definition of chastity
Following on from the two proposed new rites is a proposed change to ministry standards, and an "extended definition of Chastity", detailed in section 8 of the report.
The canons already make legal space for any priest or bishop who refuses to marry a particular couple.
That same protection, the WFWG argues, extends to clergy who decline to bless the civil marriages of same-sex couples.
"It is not anticipated by the group," says their report, "that any such minister could be held to be non-compliant with any relevant parliamentary legislation through electing not to perform a rite of blessing for a couple married under civil legislation."
The WFWG has also moved to head off the possibility of "flying priests" (or bishops) – clergy who parachute into a diocese or amorangi to perform any service of blessing which has been ruled out in that jurisdiction.
The way things now stand in the canons, any priest or bishop travelling outside his or her own territory to conduct a marriage should, as "a matter of courtesy", seek the permission of the local bishop to do so.
Where services of blessing are concerned, the WFWG proposes "an explicit strengthening" of that courtesy – the local bishop's approval-to-bless would become mandatory.
A matter of integrity
"The working group believes that the proposed rites and canonical changes… if adopted, will enable every priest and bishop in the Anglican Church of this province to retain their integrity within the Church: those who believe the blessing of same-sex persons is congruent with scripture, tikanga and doctrine, and those who believe that such a blessing is contrary to these."
Section three of the report lays out the theological platform upon which the working group's proposals are made, while section four explains how the working group has understood the theology of ordination and marriage – in a way which might allow blessing of legally married same-sex couples, and therefore how such a blessing might affect qualification for ordination.
Section five gives an explanation of the schedule to the proposed canon permitting a liturgy to bless those who have entered a civil marriage.
While in section six, the working group tackles the question of how the General Synod could lawfully adopt the proposals contained in the report – and section seven describes the specific processes by which a change can be made.
Section eight goes on to identify and explain the proposal for changes to canons which would be needed to enable a person who has entered a same sex civil marriage to qualify for ordination.
Meanwhile, the changes to the canons required to introduce formularies for the new blessings for those who have entered a civil marriage are set out in section nine.
Section 10 contains the form of the proposed schedule which would accompany the canonical changes proposed, section 11 is the proposed motion that will be put to the upcoming General Synod – while section 12 contains the two proposed rites of blessing.

Ten Days that Shook the World
The Paperback Front Table
Ten Days That Shook the World is an undisputed classic of political reportage. A stunning first-hand account overflowing with urgency and immediacy, Reed's masterpiece lives and breathes the streets, meeting halls, posters and pamphlets of the revolution he witnessed. Like no other work, it places the reader shoulder to shoulder with the people's militias, factory committees, propagandists and crowds which thronged St Petersburg's squares to protest, celebrate, and strike. Rather than a coup orchestrated by a select few, the revolution here emerges in all its true energy, chaos, and creativity as a mass struggle from below for liberation, equality, and socialism.
A hundred years after its initial publication, Ten Days That Shook the World remains an unparalleled account of one of the twentieth century's most seminal events.
John Reed (1887-1920) was an author, journalist, and activist.

Interana release 2.22 includes the following new features and resolved issues.
See Release 2.22.1 for information about the latest maintenance release.
Derived columns can now return string values, in addition to integer and decimal types. These strings must be static, non-mutating values (i.e. a known set of literals).
This new type can be accessed in derived columns by using static_string. The input column does not have to be a string column.
See Derived column syntax reference for more information.
Interana now supports decimal (float) data types in metrics and first/last aggregators. See Metrics, Measures, and Aggregators for more information about first/last aggregators.
In previous versions of Interana, every environment had a hard-coded query timeout of 180 seconds and queries that exceeded this threshold would not complete. In 2.22, we have added a configurable query timeout parameter that can be updated on a per-cluster basis. This new parameter is called query_timeout_ms and allows you to set the maximum query completion time before issuing a timeout to the user.
To change your limit, please contact your Customer Success Manager or send an email to help@interana.com.
Interana can now continue to ingest data even when a data node (or multiple data nodes) becomes unavailable. Data that would normally be written to unavailable nodes will instead be written to one of the available nodes in the cluster. When the original destination node becomes available again, the data will be copied back to that node. In previous versions, ingest would stop entirely if any data nodes in the cluster were unavailable. Note that data will not be available for queries until it is written to its original destination node.
By default, this feature is enabled for the loss of one data node. There is a configuration to control how many data nodes can be unavailable before ingest stops completely. The number can be increased from the default of 1, or set to 0 to disable this feature. This feature also requires a configuration to set the destination path for data copied to temporary nodes when the original destination is unavailable.
To change this setting from its default behavior, please contact your Customer Success Manager or send an email to help@interana.com.
In this release, when an administrator chooses to roll off data prior to a certain date, Interana has the capability to also roll off all strings that were last referenced before that same date. This is subject to the restriction that Interana began tagging strings with a "most recent reference" timestamp in version 2.20, so any strings imported into the system prior to the 2.20 version will all be tagged with a timestamp based on when Interana was upgraded to version 2.20.
Deleted strings disappear from the UI immediately, but are removed from disk the next time you restart the Interana server.
We added a new parameter (force_hexn_to_string). If this is set to 1, Interana will automatically detect new hex columns as strings during data ingestion.
In some cases, users are unable to change the Resolution setting in Time View with a group by applied. A user will appear not to be able to get out of this state.
In the Chart Controls, set Showing Top to a value other than the maximum value and click Apply. After the query completes, you can change the Resolution setting for the visualization.
On small clusters with few nodes, Interana returns a "too few leaves responded" error when one data node is not available. This occurs because if a data node is unavailable and there are only a small number of data nodes, the system can't scale the results properly and will not run a sampled query.
For larger clusters with more nodes, Interana will scale values from the available nodes, and can complete a sampled query even if a data node is unavailable.

I couldn't finish this book; I was liking how I could relate with being a mum just like the main character, Robin Wilde, but anything after that I just couldn't stand reading anymore.
At first, I felt sorry for Robin Wilde, her life has become lonely, being a single mum and trying to be the best she can. But after a while (this might sound mean), I didn't care anymore. I don't care how every woman you know, you happen to look up to, how perfect they are and yours is the complete opposite. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, and stop assuming that everyone has a perfect life.
It became petty, and I started to think petty thoughts.
I know the author is best known as a YouTuber, but I rather not hear it brought up over and over again, I get it already.
Whoever edited or proof-read this book should be fired. Everything was jumping from one thought to the next, it didn't flow nicely.
Saying all that, I might pick this book up again, and listen to myself before I started this book; don't think of who the author is and just appreciate the book on its own.

Nestlé and Starbucks successfully close deal for Nestlé's rights to market Starbucks goods
SWITZERLAND – Nestlé and Starbucks Corporation have announced the closing of the deal granting Nestlé the perpetual rights to market Starbucks Consumer Packaged Goods and Foodservice products globally, outside of the company's coffee shops.
According to Nestle, the two companies will work closely together on the existing Starbucks range of roast and ground coffee, whole beans as well as instant and portioned coffee.
The alliance will also capitalize on the experience and capabilities of both companies to work on innovation with the goal of enhancing its product offerings for coffee lovers globally.
"This partnership demonstrates our growth agenda in action, giving Nestlé an unparalleled position in the coffee business with a full suite of innovative brands.
With Starbucks, Nescafé and Nespresso we bring together the world's most iconic coffee brands," said Mark Schneider, Nestlé CEO.
"The outstanding collaboration between the two teams resulted in a swift completion of this agreement, which will pave the way to capture further growth opportunities," he added.
The company added that the agreement significantly strengthens its coffee portfolio in the North American premium roast and ground and portioned coffee business.
It also unlocks global expansion in grocery and foodservice for the Starbucks brand, utilizing the global reach of Nestlé.
"This global coffee alliance with Nestlé is a significant strategic milestone for the growth of Starbucks," said Kevin Johnson, President and CEO of Starbucks.
"Bringing together the world's leading coffee retailer, the world's largest food and beverage company, and the world's largest and fast-growing installed base of at-home and single-serve coffee machines helps us amplify the Starbucks brand around the world while delivering long-term value creation for our shareholders."
Approximately 500 Starbucks employees in the United States and Europe will join the Nestlé family, with the majority based in Seattle and London.
The international expansion of the business will be led from Nestlé's global headquarters in Vevey, Switzerland.
The agreement covers Starbucks packaged coffee and tea brands, such as Starbucks, Seattle's Best Coffee, Teavana, Starbucks VIA Instant, Torrefazione Italia coffee and Starbucks-branded K-Cup pods.
It excludes Ready-to- Drink products and all sales of any products within Starbucks coffee shops.

This month's newsletter contains the welcome news that three new member organizations have recently joined the partnership. We hope all of our readers will join us in welcoming them, and you will find many chances to connect with them in the future. We would also like to share a report from a recent symposium on satoumi (socio-ecological production seascapes) in Kanazawa, Japan, and announcements of a recent article on the Satoyama Initiative in the Midori Press and a television programme featuring our friend Prof. Alfred Oteng-Yeboah.
We also have a brief report on a recent case study from member organization FIDES in Ecuador. As always, we are looking froward to receiving new or updated case studies from all IPSI members. Please contact us if you have any questions about submitting case studies.
• Hokusetsu Satoyama Museum Steering Council, located in Japan with the purpose to develop satoyama areas in the Hokusetsu region as the "Hokusetsu Satoyama Museum: Entire Region as a Museum," and to promote their utilization in accordance with each user's needs.
The new members, in addition to being involved in valuable projects in their own right, also help to increase IPSI's presence by expanding our membership into two new countries (Ethiopia and Slovenia) while strengthening partnership within already represented areas. We look forward to collaborating closely with all of them in promoting the concept of the Satoyama Initiative in the future.
A public seminar was held on 24 March 2015 at Kanazawa Bunka Hall in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, titled "Satoumi in Noto Peninsula", organized by the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability Operating Unit Ishikawa / Kanazawa (UNU-IAS OUIK). Satoumi is a Japanese word referring to the local type of socio-ecological production seascape.
The Noto Peninsula is designated as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) site incorporating a large number of satoumi seascapes. The seminar featured presentations by a variety of local stakeholders including fishers, business owners and researchers, all of whom are working together to promote sustainable resources management in the peninsula.
The event was also intended to serve as the kick-off of a new "Satoumi Movement", proposed by UNU-IAS OUIK, which will include seminars, further research and awareness-raising. Collaboration with those involved in this movement could be an opportunity to strengthen IPSI's engagement with work being done in seascapes.
An article related to the Satoyama Initiative recently appeared in the "Column on Biodiversity" section of the Midori Press, an online magazine devoted to biodiversity issues. The article was written by Prof. Kazuhiko Takeuchi, Senior Vice-Rector of United Nations University and Professor at the University of Tokyo. Prof. Takeuchi was instrumental in creating the academic background for the Satoyama Initiative, and in his article he touches on the development of the Initiative as well as introducing some of the current priorities and activities being carried out.
The full article can be found on the Midori Press here.
Prof. Alfred Otengh-Yeboah, National Chairman of the Ghana National Biodiversity Committee and Chair of the IPSI Steering Committee, was recently featured on a television programme titled "Sense of Wonder: The MIDORI Prize for Biodiversity", about the recipients of the MIDORI Prize for Biodiversity 2014. We hope all of our readers will join us in once again congratulating Prof. Oteng-Yeboah for the great honor of receiving this prestigious prize, and will take some time to watch the programme, which contains a great deal of information about current movements within the biodiversity community.
The full programme can be viewed on the Japan International Broadcasting Inc. website here.
The IPSI Secretariat recently received a case study report from partner organization Foundation for Research and Social Development (FIDES), based in Ecuador.
Mangroves are considered one of the world's most productive ecosystems (RAMSAR Convention). In addition to their significant ecological role, mangrove habitats fulfill important economic, cultural, and social functions for the various communities settled on the banks of estuaries. Despite the environmental, social, economic and cultural importance, and the existence of a legal framework for protection, more than 80% of the mangroves in Chone River Estuary have been destroyed by the shrimp industry. This destruction has caused deteriorated living conditions in families that have lived off of the ecosystem for generations, mainly due to the decline and loss of species that have been part of local community's food security. The FIDES Foundation's intervention with families dedicated to fishing and gathering allows the generation of alternative livelihoods for mangrove communities of Manabí through the protection and sustainable use of mangrove resources. An important example of this is the recovery of the Mouthless crab in situ, in a process that combines ancestral knowledge and practices with new technical knowledge. The case study shows an ongoing pilot project that is generating positive results for the recovery of the mouthless crab.
The full case study write-up can be found on the IPSI website here.

Ivy League-bound Niraj Komatineni reflects on high school success, prepares for college tennis
Luke Feliciano
Niraj Komatineni couldn't have finished his senior season on more of a high note.
A 2019 Mason High School graduate, Komatineni won the state singles championship in May. He also played a hand in the Comets winning a team state championship.
"It means a lot," Komatineni said. "To play high school tennis, it's a big thing for me, for my community, and to win the state championship here in Mason ... It was big for me because I had a lot of friends there, a lot of family there."

Komatineni will take athletic talents to Brown University in Rhode Island this fall, but in the meantime, he is sharpening his skills and his game at events such as the Thomas E. Price Cincinnati Met singles tournament.
"This is a nice tournament here at Lunken," he said. "I just wanted to play some matches, play against some of the best men in Cincinnati ... You can't beat match practice. In match scenarios, that's where you really get better."
As the No. 3 seed, Komatineni received a bye and automatic bid to the round of 16. He defeated Ryan Hugenberg in straight sets, 6-2, 6-0 to advance to the quarterfinals on Tuesday at the Lindner Tennis Center at Lunken Playfield.
"I thought today was a good match to get ready for the harder matches later in the tournament," Komatineni said about his performance on Tuesday. "I thought I served well, I hit my forehand really well. Early in the tournament, you're just trying to get into a rhythm and move forward to dictate play, and I thought I did that really well today."
The Cincinnati Met tournament features a clay court. For players, this means having to adjust to the playing surface.
"Knowing this tournament was on clay, I've been practicing on clay all week," Komatineni detailed. "Really, it is different because you have to slide and you have to hit more balls ... If you have a lot more time the ball bounces higher and you have to take a lot more adjustment steps because you can get a lot of bad bounces on the clay."
Komatineni sticks to the same mentality on the court – but he can also modify his in-game approach based on his opponent.
"I want to play aggressive, I want to dictate," he said. "But against some of the bigger guys, I want to use my speed to neutralize their power, maybe counterpunch a little bit more than playing aggressive."
Komatineni has forged himself a path to not only continuing his athletic career but receiving a top-notch education at an Ivy League school like Brown University. He plans on majoring in Applied Math-Economics as a result of his affinity for monitoring the stock market.
"I wanted to play Division I tennis somewhere and I wanted to go to a really good academic school," Komatineni said about his decision to commit to Brown. "I thought I found the best of both worlds at Brown."
While he doesn't have to report to Brown until the beginning of the school year, Komatineni is heeding the advice of his college coaches to continue playing competitively throughout the summer.
"They (the coaches) expect us to be practicing in the summer. They sent us workouts and want us to play in these tournaments," he said.
Komatineni can rest assured that he has left his mark on high school tennis in both the Cincinnati area and the state of Ohio, but he still has much to look forward to as he embarks on his college career in the near future.

Rolls-Royce delays Trent 1000 TEN blade fix to 2021
By David Kaminski-Morrow2019-11-07T09:02:55+00:00
Rolls-Royce is to delay introduction of a redesigned high-pressure blade for the Trent 1000 TEN, after discovering that it will not be as durable as initially expected.
Rolls-Royce is to delay introduction of a redesigned high-pressure blade for the Trent 1000 TEN, after discovering that it will not be as durable as initially expected.
The Boeing 787 engine manufacturer says that the revised blade is "unlikely" to be ready before the first half of 2021.
Rolls-Royce says it has carried out a detailed technical evaluation of the high-pressure turbine design which it had intended to introduce in early 2020.
But it has found that it "will not deliver a sufficient level of enhanced durability", and says that it is assuming a "prudent" timeframe which pushes back readiness of an improved blade design to 2021.
The manufacturer has re-examined its financial and operational expectations for the Trent 1000 TEN, using a "more conservative" durability estimate.
"This estimate is lower than our initial target but sufficient to meet the needs of our customers," it adds. Rolls-Royce says it allows the company to update forecasts of future maintenance shop visits and costs.
It describes the delay to the Trent 1000 TEN blade redesign as "regrettable" and, in response, it is shoring up its capabilities to deal with the continuing blade problems on the in-service fleet.
Rolls-Royce will increase its stock of spare engines and speed up expansion of its maintenance network.
It is transforming part of its Dahlewitz and Montreal facilities into service hubs for Trent 1000s, in order to provide near-term overhaul capacity, and it has obtained access to another testbed in Dallas. The company will also invest in further capacity at London Heathrow and Derby.
The manufacturer adds that it will "step up" its investment in engineering to support the specialist team which is focusing on resolving the final design "challenges" with the powerplant.
"We aim to offset the significant majority of this capital expenditure as we reprioritise spend and deliver savings elsewhere," says Rolls-Royce.
The manufacturer is still aiming to bring the aircraft-on-ground situation down to "single-digit levels" by the end of the second quarter of 2020.
Rolls-Royce has been trying to cope with three significant problems, which have affected all three versions of its Trent 1000 – the Package B and C engines plus the TEN – giving a total of nine issues to address.
It says that it has designed eight fixes for these nine problems, and seven of them have been certified and are undergoing implementation. The redesigned Trent 1000 TEN high-pressure turbine blade is the "final modification" required, insists the company.
